CLAIRE, Editor THE HOUSEKEEPERS BONO It Is sweep, sweep, sweep, Though you've done, it an hour letorr-s And it's scrub, scrub, scrub Table and chair and floor, And you needn't bo weary a bit To find your labor in vain; Do it as well as you can to-day, You can do it to-morrow ajjaln. It Is cook, cook, cook, There's meat and there's broad to take; It is cook, cook, cook Thcro's pudding and pie to mike. The buttons aro always dropping, The stockings are ever to mend, The mon in the Held to look after, Tho children to wash and to tend. It is 6ght, tight, fight, For a man in the tug of life) And it's fight, fight, fight, For a clean and tidy wife, A man can plant an ncro of land, And gather the golden wheat, And get tho price in his open hand, And tho price of labor is sweet. But work, work, work, la ever a woman's lot) It is work, work, work, If the wcathtr is cold or hot, And'this is the worst of trouble, Sho hnsn't a shilling of gain, And though she may scrub And clean to-day, Hho must do it to-morrow gaiu. Oh, wife, wife, wife! Don't worry, and fret, and pouti Oh, wife, wife, wilel Yon are cross to-day, no ilonbtj For you know very well your labor Isn't done for a shilling or two) Just think how happy you mako us all, Of tho love we give to you. Oh, wife, wife, wifel If you cuuld not cook and clean, Oh, wife, wife, wifel What sorrow it all would mean, To toil for lovo is bettor than gold, And tho way wo suffer is clear; The work you do Is done by the day, And mine is dono by the year. -ITautt Sifltng. X Cowardly and Contemptible Baying. "A woman Li nl tho bottom of every aiiflchiof." So say a legion of noodles who know not what tlioy Bay, nnd who think they think, when tlioy only ropeat what thoy have heard others nay before them. Do tlicao faddists ever rolloct that thcro aro two kinds of pooplo in tho world, tnnlo and fomale, nnd us they gcnorally associate together it in probo bio that every occurrcnco will directly or indirectly involve somo individuals of both sexes? Hut unfortunately for tho faddist thcro aro Home conditions of lifo in which their theory can bo thoroughly tested. In tho California and Austra lian gold-mining regions they had no women, and yet, if our niomory nerves ub right, their day nnd nights wero not altogether pissed in halcyon nimplicity, but, on tho contrary, thoir camps wero scenes of fighting. Htabbing, gouging, shooting, lynching, nnd bloody murder generally. On txmrd ship thoy have no women to mnko mi'hief, and yet they aro not altogether lamblike in their relation, living together in brotherly lovo and harmony. The toft answer to often n belaying pin, and thn hand of fellowship is frequently at tho end of a yard arm. Now, if tho opposite were u popular expression, that "there is a man at tho bottom of every trouble," it would be much moru diflhiiilt to disprove.

Among other article this number contains, "Tho Tea Tablo, and How to Mako it Attractive," by Chris tino Torhuno Hernck. Mrs. Ijuisa Knapp, as editor of tho Philadelphia Ladies' Homo Journal, has met with re markable success in building up that paper to a circulation of over two hun dred thousand paid subscribers in less than two years, by hor raro tact and ge nius in catering to tho homo instincts of her sex, in tho rich feast of good things Bet beforo her readera every month. Tho Journal is a perfect gom, handsomely printed and illustrated, and employs only tho best writers, such aa Harriot Proscott SpofTord, Marion Har land, Rose Terry Cooko, Mrs. Christine Terhuno Hernck (Marion Harland's daughtor), Mrs. J.

There is an nrticlo going tho rounds entitled, "How tho Girls Go to Sleep." Tho manner in which thoy go to sleep, according to tho nrticle, can't hold a candle to tho way n married woman goes to sleep. Instead of thinking what sho should havo attended to beforo go ing to bed, sho thinks of it nfterward. Whilo sho is revolving theso matters in her mind, and whilo snugly tucked up in bed, tho old man is scratching his logs in front of the firo and wondoring how ho will pay tho next month's rout. Suddenly she exclaims: "Jnmos, did you lock tho door!" "Which door!" says James. "Tho collnr door, says sho. "No," says James. "Woll, you had better go down and lock it, for I heard somo ono in tho back yard last night." Accordingly James paddles down tho stairs nnd locks tho door. About tho time James returns nnd is going to bed sho remarks : "Did you shut the stair door?" "No," Bays Jnmes. "Well, if it is not shut tho cut will got up into tho chamber." "Let hor como up,thon,"snys James ill-tviituredly. 'My goodness, no!" returns his wife; "she'd suck tho baby's breath. Then James paddles down stairs again nnd stops on a tack, nnd closes tho stnir door nnd curses tho cat, and returns to the bedroom. Just as ho begins to climb in his wife obsorvest "I forgot to bring up somo water; Blip poso you bring up somo in tho big tin." And so James, with a muttered curse, goos down into tho dark kitchen nnd falls over a chair, and rasps all tinware ofif tho wall in soarch of tho "big" tin, and then jerks tho stair door open and howls: "Whoro tho deuco aro tho matches!" She gives him n minute direction whcio to find tho matches, nnd adds that sho would rather go and get tho water herself than havo tho whole neighborhood raised about it. Aftor which James finds the matches, procures tho water nnd comes up stairs nnd plunges into bed. Presently his wifo snys ; "James, now let's havo an understanding about money matters. Now, next woek I'vo got to pay " "I don t know what you'll have to pay, and don't carol" shouts James, as ho lurches around nnd jams his faco against tho wall; "all I want is sleep." "That is all very well for you," snaps his wife, as she pulls tho covers vic iously; "you never think of the worry and trouble I havo. And thcro is Ara mnntn, who, I believe, is taking the measles." "Let her tako 'em," says dames. Hereupon hIio begins to cry softly, but about the time James is falling into a gentle doe sho puuohcH him in tho ribs nnd says: "Did you hear that scandal about Mrs. Jones V" "Whero?" says James, sleepily. "Why, Mrs. Jones." "Where?" inquires James. "I declare,' said lus wile, "you Hro Kcttiiic nioro stupid ovory day. You know Mrs. Jones that lives at No. 21 T Well, day before yesterday Susan Smith told Mrs. Thompson that Sum liarker had snid that Mrs. Jones had" Here she paud and listened. Jhuics is snoring in profound slumber. With iv snort of rago she pulhi nil the covers off him, wraps up in them, and lays nwuko until 2 a. m. thinking how badly sho is used. And that is the way the married woman goos to sleeps-Cincinnati Kuquiror. Clnier Beer lor Harvest. A correspondent of tho California Rural Press contributes tho following : "A very superior ginger bier is made with flvo pounds of whito sugar, half a pint of lemon juice, a quarter of a pound of honey, flvo ounces of bruised ginger, and four and a half gallons of water, lloil tho ginger for half an hour in three quarts of water; add tho sugar, lemon juice, honey and the rest of the water, and strain through a cloth. When cold add the whito of an egg and a tenspoonful of tho ot-sonco of lemon. Let it stand four days and bottle. Tho honey gives it a peculiar softnosa, and from not being fermented with yeast, it is loss violent in its nctiou when oponed. It will le At for use in a week, and will koep for months."

Lite is full of bitterness and wor; Full of nnhapplness whichever way wn go, Ktch ono lits his load of it to bear; F.ach one has of misery his share. There is no fleeing from it no cscapo; Sometime in life each ono must wear the crape; Mnst watch with breaking heart and tearful eyes Tho flight of loved ones far beyond tho skies. Hut every cloud that pastes o'er tho sun Leaves it all tho brighter wheu its mission's dono. Wo need tho clouds nud lowering days As much as wo need the sun's bright rays. If our lives are dnrk with grid snd pain, In time they will bo bright and tho light will como again. Wo havo need of sorrow, and need of care; It sweetens our lives if we've pain to bear. And Just as tho earth would bo parohed and dry, If ever tho storm-clouds rollod thu ikv, We, by continued joy and light, Would grow weary if. never the night Of sorrow and tho clouds of grief Came into our lives; they should strengthen our belief In lliii who does nil things for tho best) Who alwaya gives to tho weary rest. Then why not tako lifo as it comes along; And not fret aud bewail if it can't bo all song. Tho darkest cloud with silver is Hood, Which sooner or later wo'ro sure to find. OUR LETTER BOX. Wo aro glad to hoar from Kloiso again ; sho must not think them arc to bo no more letters in tho box. To bo sure thero has been a scorning lack of intorcHt, but it is only that tho young folks aro busy doing something else these Hummer days. By and by when thn rniu beginH to como then wo look for tho box to bo full again. It is a good ex ample Kloiso sets in keeping up her duty to tho Circle.

Hut if wo could in any way help oor sullering animals that men so abuse we would writo every week, and would call tho names of thoso who wero unkind nnd wickedly cruel.
