LETTER FROM AUNT MATTIZ.
Editor Home Circles
Wa read to much aliout hottachoM decora
tions, but then articles of beauty alwaya re
quire some outlay of money. Wo nted more
di'octions fur miking ornaments and little
useful nick uacks, which wilt coat nothing
but aparo timu in their production. Two
thirds of womankind must aak for every cent
they get or go without. Half the husbands,
I am afraid, would give some very Indignant
sniffs If naked for money for such purp iacs.
Wo wont trot ocr the old worn path of cigars,
tobacco and whiskey cocktaila. We alt know
it by heart, but when did eurknowing It crer
induce a man to make an equivalent allow
ance to his wlfo to spend In pretty tilings, so
doar to her heart. To mako a pretty hang

Oathcr trailing mosses and vines, which, when
dried, will present their natural appearance.
Dried flowers and rrayies will add a beauty
of their own. Arrango those, alt tastefully In
sido, permitting tomo to droop upon the out
tide, others totwiuo naturally up the cords

it will took nicely for months. To one who
baa little chlldron to care for at all times, it
will be more convenient, although not so sat
isfactory as living vines. For quite a pretty

Hour sack don't laugh jet begin at ono
, edge, fringo out an inch, leave two inches,
draw threads from a space one inch wide,loave
two inches mid to continue until tho entire
width ia prepared; then begin at another edge
and draw threads in the same manner at right
angles to those first drawn. A fringe must be
made upon all four aides. Tako colored
til road or worsted and hemstitch up and dow n
the middlo of each tpaco of drawn thread.
Tako the needle over quite a littlo apace each
stitch, ao as to leav o pen good sized diimond
shaped holes. One must do a little calculat
ing at first to be sure the apaco of drawn
threads are the same distsnee apart, figures
may also be worked In the plain aquaria left.
To remove every tupicion of lettering from
i the sack take it in warm water and thorougly
soap, roll up tightly and let soak for an ho in
Then take tho sack, letter aide down, upon
the loard and nib It; if not all removed, soap
again and put by to soak. Tho second time
will usually be auflkient. If net all removed

An item going the rounds, says that a
young man in Madison, Wisconsin, bought
six collars and a neck-tie, w eight under four
ounces, and through snobbishness or laziness,
ordered them sent to bis residence; lie would
not carry a parcel in the street. Thoy w ere
sent in a heavy freight wagon; two men labor
iously carried the parcel into the hall, and
inquired if it ahould be left there, or carried
up atairs. His "affianced" happened to bo
there, and saw the exhibition. Served him
right.
A certain lady (?) bought a spool of thread,
and ordered it "sent homu" over half n mile.
A farmer of our acquaintance was stopped
in tho rain by a wtutthy linn, at no haggled
aliout tho prico of turnips fur several minute,
finally getting them down fiom 117 to i!4 tents
a bushel, mid then ordered a peck; ntid ended
by asking that half of them bu jillow turnip
for his wife, and half whito ones for himself I
Wo saw their delivery, in nn immense cart,
drawn by 17 Jokes of oxen, with ndriverfor
each joke, each driver carry lug nnd wielding
a long whip, and vigorously shouting, "haw,
gee, g long, etc." Tin oxen's horns wcrcor
(lamented with white and jellow ribbons, and
the white and yellow turnips w ere marked by
ribbons of euntspondiug color tied around
them. The cavalcido made a tour of tho
town nnd thrco wide circuits before success
ful ly backing up squarely to the purchaser's
goto. Four men delivered them in n lingo
basket, and tho farmer refused to receive more
than 0 cents, the contract prico. A mechanic,
previously engaged, was present to chip off
tho quarter of a cent to make the "chatigo"
right. Tho seller and drivers neighboring
farmers then went to a li'tol, "put out"
their teams, and had a bounteous dinner to
gether.

Aw I hav o soen ao many accidents caused by
fire in tho papers of late, I thought pcihapa
this simple remedy might be of use to tome of
the readers of your columns. It was intro
duced by an emiuent phjsician in Ohio, and
lias been used with success for very bad burin
in our family, and by my friends fur twenty
five yeattsjhe treatment is thusi Care
should bewBPto exclude the air from the
bam, and tesquickly as possible boil some
weet milk and while this it coming to a boil
stir a batter with cold sweet milk and flour,
and when the other milk boils, gently stir the
batter in; then spread it on a cloth and when
cool enough place it en the affected parts. It
will be teen that the pain will cease in a few
moments; when this begins to dry replenish
and the burn will toon heal up and not dis
figure the patient. I will close for fear of tir
ing your patience; but mast say I think it a
great help to the children to write and hart
their letters publiahed, and besides it it very
interesting for them to read each otbert let
ters. I remain your well-wiaher,

Who shall be Commissioner of Agriculture
under Trcsldent Garfield? This is a question
that interests "very reader of the Journal in
the United States. Tlio olllce, ever since its
creation, has been a sort of harbor of refuge
an asylum for broken down, aeedy politicians,
men unable to make a respectable living for
themaelv ua, men who had failed in business
as wtll as In polities, destitute- of bualncss
graining, and without practical acquaintance
with publio affairs. With suck men at its
head, weak, visionary and "seedy," no won
der the Depsrttnont of Agriculture has been
laughing-stock of politicians, as welt as of
practical farmers and business men, from its
creation to the present timo. It has bean,
and still remains, a chaotic, unorganized, aim
Iras, worthless affair; and to it will remain,
until, by a stroke of good fortune, a strong
man, with first clsss executive ability, thor
ough business training, ami an intimate, prac
tical acquaintance with the agricultural inter
ests of our country, shall bo placed at its
head. With such a man tilling tho oilice of
Commissioner of Agriculture, tho Department
might be made a poiter 111 tile cmncila Ot the
nation; and when once a master hand shall
have organized, shaped, and given direction
to its affairs, and shown what may lie done
and how to do it, it will lie comparatively
eay to find men who are capable of carrying
on the work.

It la stated that President Oai field is to

severely in health of late. There is no reason
why he should make himself a martyr to this
kind ot annoyance. He has but to declare hia
intention to put in practice the priiicipKa of
Civil Service Reform, tnd this at my of place
hunters will bo routed. We have no sympa
thy for an Kxccutivo who allnw s himself to bo

for this state of things in his own hands, and
if he fails to apply it that it his fault.

During the past three months there lias been
told in Jacksonville, alone, over 0,000 deer
shins. Deer wilt average about CO IU., to
that within a few moths the deer slaying pc
pulaton have consumed 300,000 lis. of veui
ton. It mutt have been consumed for, of
coarse, tho industrious people who are tlaying
the noble game by the wholesale are too econ
omical to waste wholesome food and too con
tajentiout to violate law by almply tUogbter
ing deer for their hides. The question now
cornea np what will these poor wretches do
when the deer are all murdered. The answer
is that, a man who will kill a deer for it hide,
will steal
into tho beautiful country to enjoy a littlo
suiishiuv, fresh air and pleasant sounds which
come with opening Spring the robins are
chirping n happy return; tho littlo lambs are
cilling, nnd tho squirrels aro just coming out
from their Winter sleep so wo wanted to
havo a taste of all these, pleasant things and
feel happier for a change. Wa must explain
that it was becauso wo were away that the
letters of last week should havo been pub
liahed this week, as we put them in according
to tho date. Hut our little friends wilt not
feel hurt when they find out the reason. We
only w Ish wo could v Isit each ono of our little

will coino and see us.

die for this reason. Albert got the prize for
hcinr the best speller he has a good teacher
for he pays attention to that now much neg
lected part of a childs oducatlon when you
milk after this, you must 1st each of the calves
have their share of their mothers milk. Most
people Jerk the poor little calves away !efore
they really get a taste; it is quite wicked and
wo want our lioys to take care and have fat
calves. When people brag of how much
butter they can make, we don't want to see
the calves. Chester has the most head marks
iu his class there is another aeuaible teacher
