Boiling in a well-flonred clotli will make meat
vrhite. Cloths for this p urpose should be care-

place, wbicli would give a bad flavor to the
meat. The same applies to tapes and pudding
clottiE.
When color on a fabric has been destroyed

Moths will work in carpets in rooms tliat
are kept warm, in the winter as well as in the

is to poor strong alum water on the floor totlie

laying tlie carpets. Tlien, once or twice dur

AY.vit. Wait, husband, before you wonder
audibly wliy your wife don't get along witli
the lioiiseliold affairs as your mother did.” ,Slie
is doing her best, and no woman can endure
that best to be sligtited. Remember the long
weary niglits slie sat up with the little babe
that died; remember the love and care she be-
atow-ed upon you when yon had that long spell
Of sickness. Do yon think siic is made of cast-
iron? Wait—wait in 81161100 and lorbearance,
and the light will come back to Iiereyes—the
old liglit for tlie old days.
Wait, wife, before you speak reproachfully
to your husband when he comes home late,
weary and “out of sorts.” He worked bard
for you all day, perhaps, far into the night, lie
lias wrestled, liaud in witli care, and selflsliuess
and greed, and all the demons that follow in
the train of money-making. Let liome be an-
-Other atmospliere entirely. Let him feel that
there is one place in the world wlicre lie can
find peace and quiet, and perfect love.
Three Classes of Women.
It i.s Maiy (Murdock Mason who divides lier
sex into tliree classes—the giddy butterflies, the
busy bee.s and tlie woman’s rigliters, Tlie first
are pretty and silly, the sceoini plain and useful
the third mannish and odious. The first wear
long trailing dresses and smile at j'ou while
waltzing; the second wear aprons and give
you apple dumplings; and tlie tliird want yonr
manly prerogatives, your dress coat, your mou-
-ey and your vote.
Fine Needle Work.
A Woman Evangelist.—M:s. I.owrie, a
converted actress, is conducting a series of re
ligious meetings in the E. chnrcli at Jarvis
New York. The meetings are attended by
tliou.^ands of people, and over five hundred
converts have been made Tiie number lu-
clndes many wealthy and prominent residents
Mrs. Lowrie is an eloquent speaker, and an ex
cellent vocalist. She wields a powerful iuflu-
ence over the large congregations that as.sein-
bled to hear her, and Iier voice >s frequentl}’’
drowned by their shouts. Two avowed infi
dels—one a contributor to the Boston Investi
gator—are among her converts. A leading
atheist asked for prayei's on Saturday night
amid a scene of wild excitement. The church
will not hold all that apply foi admittance.
Feoplecomc twenty miles to hear her, and
so many train hands from the Erie railway at
tended the services that new men have been
employed to fill their places.
Tlie Sacramsnto (Cxi.) Union has this ac-
eoiuit of a speciuieu of fine needle work; A
young indy of the City of Mexico, during a
Iieriod of two yeans, e.t'ecuted a very skillful
■work of art, whicli .slie sent to an aunt in this
-ity. It is now in the possession of Mile. Sole-
ina, who purchased it wiieii offered for s.ale for
the benefit of an invalid relative oftbej^oung
lady, and lias resolved to send it to tlie Centen
nial Exibition. It is a Pina clotli liaiidker-
ciiiet about 20 iuciies square, with an embroid
ered and lace margin, pulled and worked from
tlie clotli to tUe,.ei>tIiof two and a Iialf indies.
The embroidered line repre-ents leaves and
clusters of berries, with open lace work in tlie
centres ; the outer edge is a series ot meshes
edged in embroidered scallops with aline of
ieaf ami vine work above' Tlie lace work was
{ill made by thread* pulled from tlie clotli and
twisted together, requiring great skill and
.patience The embroidery and lace work, fine
ns it is, Iiowe ver, is surpassed by a centre piece*
worked in witli liair and silk combined, so fine
tliat except under a powerful glass it looks like
a design in India ink. It represents a cbiid
swinging in a hammock, suspended between
two ti'opiciil trees, wiUi flowers and vegetation
Bpringing at tlie base. Tlie foliage is picked
«nt witli as inucli nicety as if done witli a fine
steel pen. 0 ver tlie cliild stands .an angel witli
Woman In Business.
The pretended incapacity of women
for business, says an exchange, has no
foundation in nature, and is no justifica
tion as the secreey with which husbands
commonly keep from their wives what
they are pleased to call their own afifairs.
In many foreign countries the woman
bears as active a part in the conduct of
trade as man, and they are not seldom
directly associated together as partners in
business. It is a common thing in Eng-
and and on the continent of Europe for
the wife to succeed to the share and man
agement of her husband’s busine.ss at his
death. This is often an arrangement
very beneficial, and even essential to the
full security of the estate and the best in
terests of the heirs. What confusion and
loss often occur in this country in conse
quence of sudden death and the hasty
settlement that ensues, but which might
be prevented were the wife familiar with
the management of her late husband’s
affairs, and thus enabled to conduct
them, at least to a prosperous termina
tion. While men insist upon believing
that dry goods, pig-iron ware, and other
small wars are entirely too abtruse for
the comprehension of women, and will
not apply their own great understandings
to the enlightenment of their wives’ little
onex, they must resign themselves to a
f.'xilure, in a great degree, of the highest
hopes of an aspiring trade.
An unreserved communication of bis
business affairs to his wife will often se
cure for the husband the couBsel he re-
quirss, and certainly relieve him irom
the anxieties which oppress an undivided
responsibility. It would s.rve, also, to
check much of that reckless expenditure
which is supposed to be characteristic of
the wives and daughters of our people of
business, by not only showing the exact
means of the head of a family, and how
far prudence will justify expenditure, but
by creating a common intere.st in the
method* taken and ends proposed by him
for building up a fortune, and thus dis
posing all to co-operate with his manage
ment and economy.
By a skillful use of tlie stops, and of the pat
ent- kneosvvcll, the music is adapted to the hu-
mau voice, ranging from the softest, flute-like
note to a volume of soutid.
Unsurpassed by any Instru
ment.
The proprictoi-s liave noted carefully for
many j-ears the imperfections and needs of the
reed instruments, and directed their practical
experience to the correction of such imperfec
tions, and their experiments have resulted in
tlie production of a quality of tone -wliich as
similates so closely to the
