This volume, as its title implies, consists of papers upon topics
concerning the ordering and well-being of the household. It contains, in
addition to a large number of receipts for cooking, and rules for
marketing, numerous hints for the management of servants and children,
directions as to furnishing, repairing, cleansing, etc., and information

The novelty and merit of the work are in the method by which it secures
_successful_ practice. Its lessons, the plainest, easiest, and fullest,
anywhere to be found, have grown out of a long and painstaking
experience, in finding out the best plan of teaching beginners and
ignorant persons how to cook well. They were perfected through the
stupidities, blunders, mistakes, questionings, and difficulties, of
hundreds of pupils, of all ages, grades, and capacities, under the
careful direction of intelligent, practical teachers.

=Hand-book of Household Science=. By Professor E. L. Youmans.
12mo, cloth, $1.75.
This work has been prepared to meet a long-acknowledged want in our
homes and schools. There is a strong and growing demand for that kind of
knowledge which can be made available in the daily operations of
familiar life. Various books have been prepared which cross the field of
domestic science at different points, but this is the first work that
traverses and occupies the whole ground. Hardly a page can be opened
that does not convey information interesting and valuable to every
person who dwells in a house. The work will be found not only of high
practical utility, but captivating to the student, and unequaled in the
interest of its recitations.
