Mi THE QUEST JO i'l Or TIDiKEGS. i'roflt Oos:’ V/ 7 *y S<.itu* IVrtp!ii Ki’> mruT; it ly A!i Ti'.cir £ aVi's.

Great, soldiers iio.i Tj almost invariably tidy. ><»».. sivycrs liavo been neat to ,o same may bo said of some g . ■■ :i ik; >: business. Indeed as many weak men .‘O untidy as strong men. end of ihol.T:r a largo proportion will bo found to bo 1 tho dreamy or tho reflective temperament. Dreamy people bate tidiness, and rtio •.ury reflective aro rarely quite tidy, tho ■enson being tho .same in both cases, that .ach persons, besides feeling the inherent iisllko of most persons to small recurrent exertions without immediate cud, aro annoyed by interruptions to the current of thought. They want, as they say, to bo at peaco from trifles, and as somebody usually saves thorn from tho consequences of their ways they remain untidy through life. That they gain anything by their untidiness, except possibly some slight relief from Irritability, is, however, a most rash assumption. They rarely save time, for they never can find anything. They do not think more clearly, for tho materials for thought aro never ready to hand, and it may questioned if their habit adds oven to thoir mental pcaeo. Few pcoplo aro wholly unaware of theirown untidiness or escape from periodic impulses to correct it, and what with thoso Intermittent fits, which never do any good, and their occasional consciousness of tho trouble they give, they arc probably as much disturbed as tho tidy, who, in : deed,in time become blissfully unconscious that tboy have adopted a habit, and in adopting it hnvo materially’ increased their «owa readiness for action. A Kit of Homo FnrniKlilng. A pretty window scat is attainable by using ono of those common pino wash benches that may ho purchased cheaply at any house furnisher's. As usually bought these benches may prove too high • ‘'-Mnl A SIMPLE WINDOW SKAT, and will require somo inches sawed off the logs, which are only upright boards. A wearable cushion may bo found in one, with a denim covering. Mako a chain Stitched border around tho edge and n largo sunflower, or other pronounced design, for tho center. This adornment can bo done in outline in some contrasting color. There may ho a valance of silkalino or cretonne to harmonize, Tho same seat without a valanco may bo painted in old Ivory and finished off ■with a coating of enamel, with decoration formed of brass beaded nails arranged in an ornamental design. The result, of tho work lias been doilnoatefl by Decorator and Furnisher, as is the Accompanying cut. Tho True Science of Sweeping. Tho true science of swooping tho most untidy room is to do it with a stout parlor broom and raise not no much ns ,; a snooze of dust.” No matter whether a carpet or matting or a nice wood mosaic is tho floor covering, the work can bo accomplished with absolute neatness and dispatch, affirms a writer in tho New York Sun, by laying a band of well dampened sawdust along ono sido of tho floor and sweeping this over and over clear across the apartment. Tho sawdust quietly licks up every mote and bit of lint which tho broom sots stirring before it has time to float off into tho air, and so protects furniture and tho sweeper as well. Puch a process can bo carried on iu a sickroom Without tho least inconvenience) to tho invalid, and iu this event, or where nurseries or schoolrooms arc cleaned, It is wisa to sprinkle a little disinfectant in tho sawdust. When tho work is done carefully, gather it all In a dustpan and toss it into tho kitchen fire, burning it between meals. Fairy Pudding. Although a fairy’s pudding, it wore shame If wo less dainty mortals could not claim Tho privilege of making it to eat For a dessert that queens might call a treat. Put on ono quart of milk to boil. Then stir One cup of sugar (seo you do not err) ‘ "With throe-fourths cup of butter to a cream. Add twelve well beaten yolks of eggs. You deem It is extravagant indeed? All, no Not in tho lavish summer. Then bestow With these ingredients a heaping cup Of flour. With .energy now beat it up And stir into tho boiling milk with slow And steady hand. Then add tliu whites, liko snow In daintiness, that to a froth more light Than maiden vanity you’ve beaten quite Exhauatiugly. Now bake it with, much care (In that doth often dwell tho virtue rare) In pudding dish, placed also iu a pan Of boiling water. Servo it for tho man Who calls himself a pessimist. He’ll say, "For this I’d surely live another day.” —Good Housekeeping. Fish Salad on Lettuce Leaves. Two cupfuls of picked whitefish, a tablespoon ful of capers chopped, a tableBpoonful of parsley chopped. Dressing For Fish Salad (without oil). —Half pint of milk, 2 level tablespoon fills of cornstarch, yolks of 13 eggs, a toaspoonfnl of salt, of pepper, butter tho size of a Walnut. Bring tho milk to boil, moisten Starch and add, cook till thick and smooth, odd yolks beaten lightly, cook a minute, stir ring constantly’, remove from tho lire and add the rest of tho ingredients. Set away to cool. Fancnke Kolia. Put in a pan 4 whole eggs, a pinch of salt, 1 of sugar, 3 spoonfuls of flour. Beat ,vith a quart of milk. The preparation . susfc be very light. Mako your pancakes ' i a frying omelet pan, very thickly spread rith butter. Turn them upside down on io table, put some currant or other jelly i one sido; roll them. Put them on a • late.
