TAKING CARE OF CLOTHES.

It will end w-ii'l than the coarser ones. but ™ <*<> ™« h ? a u-savin&' M fche coarser on«j wear the clothing more rapidly. Coats and c oaks should be hung always on the little wue frames, costing But Bye or ten cents., which come for that purpose. The frames should first be covered with some soft material, to prevent the garments tram breaking over their edges.' If made of >ypod, this is not necessary ; the wooden ones, however, are a little more ex pensive. It is better to hang than to fold almost aU dresses that are not wash dresses, it onohas sufficient room ; but if the room is limited and the dresses crowded if hung, then they should be folded, as anything is better than the "stringy" look which dresses crowded together in a small closet may soon acquire. If. a dress of woollen material has any drapery, it will bo found to keep its fresh ness very much longer if the skirt is always bottom upward. With a little practice and care this will bo easily done, and the creases, prevented which come so quickly even in the best materials from the folds hang-ing1 always the same way, both when in wear and when not. Never sit downjn a damp dress if ib can bo avoided, for no thing ao successfully creases it. It should be at once taken off and hung in a good position to dry. Closets in which clothing is kept should be aired evory day. If dresses are to lie in trunks of drawers they should be folded with great care, and always on the light side out, particularly if lined, as the dress material, folding over the lining, prevents in a measure its creasing. Dresses which can be hung; right side out crease and string much leas fchaal those which are hung up wrong side out. They may be easily pro tected from dust by hanging a sheet or a curtain made of calico qver them. Hats and bonnets should bo kept well brushed with a soft manilla brush. Whiaks are too stiff and harsh to be used. When not in use they should be kept In a box or close closec or drav/er, if one chances to have them of sufficient depth. If summer dresses of wash materials are always folded smoothly on talcing them off they will require, unless actually soiled, much loss frequent laundrying than when hung. Treated in this way by a moderately careful person, a linen lawn dress may some times be worn every day for two weeks. The dregs, however, must have been well done up to commence with. The care of boots, shoes, and slippers, which do their full share in giving one a tidy, well-dressed air, must not ,Be for gotten. Firstly, never allow a boot or shoe to run over at the heel. No heel is better than a run-over one. If you. cannot afford to keep them straight by frequent rebuild ing, cut off the lift each time one be comes run over. With great care this habit of running over heels may be almost entirely cured. A greater assistance than nails on the side run over is to have a small wedge forced between the layers of the heel on the run over side, thus forcing the foot to tread the other way. If this is persistently kept up, the boot will soon show a great improvement. A boot should never be worn with buttons off or with knots in the shoestrings, both being untidy. No matter how old al)Oot may be, even if patched, if the buttons are all on, the heels straight and it is well blackened, it has a tidy, well dressed appearance. Slippers above all things must be irreproachable in the way of being whole and well blackened. - "Philadelphia Press."

A Medical Officer's Report.

A RETiiAEKAKtiE report has been presented to the Workington (Cumberland) Local Board by Dr. Lowe, the medical officer of health. ' It is stated that the infantile mor tality for the past year has reached the ex traordinary rate of 136-2 per 1,000 of the registered births, and that 5- 2 of all the deaths were of children under five years of age. After referring to a case of scarlatina, the medical officer states: "Should the disease spread to a dangerous extent, I shall advise yon to have the schools closed. If this radical remedy be refused, I shall decline to be a party to wilful murder, and shall resign my office. ' I would beg of you not to ask me to consult the School Board, as it is no part of my duty to confer with gentlemen who prefer to save money at the expense of human life." Tea drinking, the medical officer adds, is as great a cause of infant mortality as anything he knows of. The mothers drink tea' three or four times a day, " and the children are regularly dosed with it." Tea drinking was not so degrad ing as opium eating, but it was doing more mischief. Another prolific cause of infant mortality at Workington was the Salvation Army. The mothers went to the Salvation Army hall in all weathers and at all hours, leaving the children to look after them selves, the result being that they "often caught cold, were burnt, or scalded." The Church Army was not much better, Several members of the Board protested against certain statements of the report, but the medical officer declined to with draw them, allinniiig that they were true,.

"Jubilee New Testaments."

Thk Melbourne Daily Telegraph states that the Queen immediately on learning that Bible-reading was not permitted in State schools in Victoria waived all objections, and choso and wrote with her own hand a verse of Scripture a fac-simile of which, with the Royal signature, will be inscribed on the New Testament it is proposed to distribute amongst the children of tho colony us a jubilee memorial. " Peace on earth, goodwill toward-men,", is the Queens text.' ' It is instructive to contrast the spirit shown in this matter by the Queen with that shown by all the small official fry near at hand. When the Secretary of the committee modestly applied to tha-'de mrtment for a copy of the Education Report for the year, it was sternly refused. _ Ihe committee have wisely resolved to distribute the Jubilee New Testaments apart from the State schools, But in the outlying districts it may be convenient to have the use of the local State school aiid the help of the State school teacher; and the consent of the ; de partment was asked to this help being given m the rare cases in which it .might- be de sired. The department consented, but the teacher must signify in writing his consent to render the help asked, and each child must produce from its parent a written consent to fche child receiving a !Nqw Testament with the Queen's name on it. The Execu, CiveCommittee of the Teachers' Union passed a resolution explaining that it "does not offer any opposition to the scheme for dis tributing Jubilee Testaments," bub,it ob jects to the State-school teachers having to distribute them ! There were nine gentle men and ai lady present at this meeting, and they undertook to speak for the whole 5 800 State-school teachers of Victoria I '

"Hoi lonp since we placed a young lady undei lire o-re, who has recovered her health, w\ we need only poiat to the cases (Mr Congreve to publishing one ever week), many o* wHch had been given up aa past all hope." "There can be i»o doubt that for Consumption and othtt- Chest Complaints, Mr Con greve is a specialist of the firtt order, anil stands unrivalled. Ortainly there hstebeen no o otherdlbcovery in medical science from which the consumptive patient may gather ao much, hope as from his." _ " The okb huwi/aEu and thibtv-three casks whiclTare recorded in Mr Congreve's book are a most convincing testimony; but what have been long a marvel are the caeiea of cure whioh have been published for several years past in the weekly journals (our own D included), one every week."
