LEARNING HOW TO REST.
Mrs. Harbert writea to the Inter-Ocean, ad.
dreaaing her words "to tired mothers," and
then takea this ground concerning housework
Let ua watch our tirod friend while ahe pre
pares breakfast Every dish has been put care
fully away the night before, so that ahe mutt
Iwgin at the very foundation, by removing the
table-cover from the dining table, replacing it
with a table-cloth, and entirely setting the
table a process that requires many steps
owing to the inconvenient distances intervening
between ice chest, pantry, sideboard and table.
Potatoes are to be pared and sliced, and during
the 10 minutes required for the preparation
our tired mother stands before a low table!
Hroakfaat is eaten in a hurry, and then the table
is again entirely cleared; salt-cellars, castor,
etc., are placed to rest until noon; the dishes
are carried to the kitchen, and during the long
process of washing, draining and wiping them,
the weary woman stands at Tier post Finally,
when the last dish is washed, she actually sinks
iuto the nearest chair, sighing, " Dear me, this
is almost the first moment that I have been able
to sit down since I awoke. " Ti red out, slid the
day's work just commenced. After retting a
moment, she remembers that there are peat to
sholl, and berries to piok over, snd she returns
to the heated kitchen, at if determined to work
in the mott uncomfortable manner.
Now, let us watch the housekeeper who is
able to accomplish so much work with to little
apparent weariness. When the commence! her
work tho table is tet, having been easily ar
ranged the previous evening by the mere
removal of the soiled dishes, and carefully
oovereiL While preparing her potatoes the
takea them onto a cool, ahaded poroh, where,
tested oomfortably, ahe can enjoy the freth
beauty of the morning, and at the tame time
peri.. mi her work aa rapidly and deftly at
though standing up in a heated kitchen. After
breakfast, she arranges to be comfortably seated
at tho low table during the process of dish
washing, and, by the lavish use of water, renders
the entire process far more endurable than the
cold and greasy abomination of the friend "who
is actually too tired to walk across the kitcheu
fortbe fresh supply of hot water."
After tho dish - washing is concluded, our wise
friend takes the peas and berries into the very
shadiest sjiot of the yard, and calling the chil
dren, gives them their share of shelling peat,
hulling berries, or resiling the morning paper
aloud, and thus tho work of the day it well be
gun with but very slight weariness. Similar
reatful methods adopted in regard to the entire
duties of the day will produoe a surprising dif
ference in the resulting weariness.
Vkstilatiow by thk Chimnky. A parlor
fire will consume in 12 hours 40 pounds of ooal,
the combustion rendering 42,000 gallons of air
unfit to support life. Not only is that large
amount of deleterious produot carried away and
rendered innoxioua by the chimney, bat five
times that quantity of air it carried up by the
drsft, and ventilation thus effectually main
tained. The ascent of amoke up a chimney de
pends on the comparative lightness of the col
umn of air within to that of an equal column
without; the longer the chimney, the stronger
will le the draft, if the fire be snlficientlv
groat to heat the air; but if the chimney be so
long that the air is cooled aa it approaches the
top, the draft ia diminished. -ftrenViy.
Mrsit ornn Flite. That it it really the
air which ia the sounding body in a Bute or other
wind instrument, appears from the fact, that
the inateriala, thicknaaa, or other peculutritMa
of tho pipe, are of no consequence. A pipe of
pr, and one of lead, glass or wood, provided
the dimensions be the asms, will produoe, under
miliar circumatancaa, exactly the same tone aa
to iiitv. If the .aakfau of the tones produot d
by different pipe, differ, this is to be sttriboted
to the friction of the sir within them, setting in
feeble vibration their own proper materials.
