In some parts of West Africa the girls have long engagements. On the day of their birth they are betrothed to a baby boy a trifle older than theib selves, and at the age of 20 they are married. The girls know of no other way of getting a husband, and so they are quite happy and satisfied. As wives they are patterns of obedience, and the marriages usually turn out successes. A Frog's Resoue. A correspondent writes: "My son, age 10% years, was working in the garden when a viper about two feet long glided past him. A good shot with a stcno about the size of a cricket ball broke the reptile's spine, while a sharp edge of the granite cut open the belly, thereby restoring to freedom a frog, which hopped out of its prison unhurt."-Madras Mail.

With a young pair in any degree harmoniously fashioned by nature, nothing can conduce to a more beau tiful union than eagerness of the maid en to learn and of the youth to teach. Out of it there arises a relationship as fundamental as it is agreeable. Goethe. When Beating Carpets-.. Remember first of all to beat very thoroughly on the wrong side, and then very lightly on the right. Too vigorous beating on the right side is liable to ruin the texture of a carpet, but thorough brushing with a hard carpet brush can do no harm. ~ Rude.

'Tempering Flatiron*. The first right of a new flatiron is to be well tempered. To do this it should be- allowed to heat gradually, and stay hot for several hours in suc cession without use, then it should gradually cool and be set aside. After this it should be aUowed to heat only when wanted for use. The habit which some housewives have of "putting on the flats," at all times, lest perchance they should need them, will eventually spoil the temper of the best-tempered fiatdran in . existence.-Harper's Bazar.
