"She didn't kiss the baby," and a very good thin? she didn't The baby l.aä a hard enough time as it is without going outside the family circle for carcsrs, so don't say it reproachfully; say it with joy. You know how it is wi'.h kittens-they mustn't be haniled too much if you -aunt "ratters." Rut the baby .s passed from grandma to Third Cousin Maria, lie is tickled, tossed, squeezed, poked and kissed until the marvel is where the world gets it3 human "ratters." To be sure, there is here and there an independent baby, a baby who hold3 all promiscuous cuddlings In righteous scorn. He is not a popular baby (reformers never are); you don't dare toss him, you hesitate before trotting him, and you would no more think of burying your face in the satin folds of his pink neck than if he were a young gentian; .in of years instead "of months. Mamma and grandmamma call his lusty and rebellious yella "spunk;" diplomatic relatives get out of it with wise nods and the soro.3vhat ambiguous remark that "tre world will hear from him yet." Ar.d so it does generally. A baby born with sufficient firmness of character to regutore the familiarities of intimates will be pretty certain to have a voice in the world's affairs I itpr on. and to some purpose. If there are abuses to be done away with rats t" be caught, aa it were he'll be keen 0.1 the ecent. It doesn't seem as if it would take anything beyond an ordinary endowment of common sense to soe that if handling is bad for kittens it is ten times worse for babies. The average well-mannered infant accepts the squeezings and 'lewsings as peculiar conditions of an existence is too young to und-rstrr.d, and so la;e is he from angid land -that he even ventures a "goo g" af:er a peculiarly trying squeeze. This we take as indicative of enjoyment, and we squeeze again. If he protests, we look for a pin surely nothing but a pin would make our 'owny downsy" cry when hl.s little stomach was full. If he .tili murmurs we toss him. but if he lives through what would kill ninety lives in a cat what dies he amount to? Look about you. What ri.is he amounted to? For one ratter how many fleek tabbies and ronis are th-re dzi.-ig in tip-stairs cm fort? They are se-l.l m 1.-st to all sense of duty that if a mouse ran arnw the fliwr they would not run atfer It. They have even been known to sit two hours on a s; retell before a crack in the china closet, but to go down v. 11 ir and deliberately hunt rats like a o'iihikmi cat they may not reason it out, Im: they don't do it.

"I was calling at a house the other day," said a man of society, "and as I found the lady I wished to see out and had a message which I desired to deliver I asked the maid, after vainly fumbling in my pocket for a pencil, if she could get me one. I expected froi l my exferience on similar occasions a wait of several minutes while she hunted it up. To my surprise, however, she promptly presented me with a neat little pad, to wh'-h a pharply-polnted p-ncil was attached and which was evidently kept on the hall table for Just such emergencies. It was a simple detail, if you will, but one which stamped that house forever in my mind as being well regulated in every department and presided over by a thoughtful woman. "I had occasion to notio the contra. when stopping at another hous? to leive the sam- nu-.ag it was .in invitation from my sister for a little theater pirty she was organizintr when a similar neil pr?s?nted itself 'Pliise wait a nuin.ni. said the abigiil in answer t my request.

And, leaving in.j in the hall, she darted into the drawing Dom, fumbled at a emirt Loking writing table covered with silver paraphernalia, and after failing ti find whu sh wanted she dlsippctir?d within an inner rom, evidently a library. Emerging again, apparently unsucvesful and exclaiming apologaticallyt 'There ought to be a p?ncll Eomowher! I will go and ask Miss Mary for one." she ran up stairs. In the meantime whispered voie-3 and a ripidly withdrawn head over the btlusters m.ad m aware that I was under surveillance from above.

Minn Olan Netherolr. Miss Olga Net hers le Is one of the English women who believe in high thinking and simple dressing, for off the stage her gowns are almost Puritanical in their roberness of color and plainness of fashion. They are mostly tailor built, and. astonishing to relate to those .women who have taken admiring note of her slender waist, straight back and well defined curve, she wears no corse:. A coutille waist that buttons in front is the nearest approach to th?t bulwark of the French dressmaker. Miss Netnorsole thinks the corset is ungraceful, injurious and not quite neat, since her belief ut that every article of one's underwear r-h-mld pay a weekly visit to the washtub. Indeed her lingerie, if one can call it by that n..'me. can ea.'Ily be packed in a handkerchief bi'. for it is woven of rilk and wool, a beautiful fabric, warm, tine and soil, leaving her txdy free for active "movement. Miss Nethersole is a tremendous worker in and out of the theater. a much nanager as actress, and her capacity ft r the dally achievement of her really tremendous labors she attributes t he.' sensible dressiig. She fully vecognies that petticoats are part of a woman's life, unpleasant, yet impossible to avoid, but her effort is to mitigate their weigh; and bulk as far as possible with a view to good health and active movement. It is astonishing the number? of women ' who have, like this Englph woman, la'd aside their stays forever or, wear the coutille waist Instead. London (ientlewoman. .MitUe Artllieirtl Snnnhinc Have you ever noticed that there Ls a rainy day woman who I nothing remarkable whtn the weather is fine and her sisters in smart attire completely overshadow her in offensive persmali.y, but who looms up a perfest ray of sunshine when the heavens open and the dull pat ter of drops agunst the window pane j gives every one within doors a horrible attack of the blues? j It bi then that this little creature goes . about in a quiet, cheerful manner that ls j wonderfully consoling to those mortals i who are made to enjoy life only when the j skies are blue and the whole earth merry with the glad laugh of children and the ;-tir and bustle of pleasant outdoor activity. , She is embodied happiness; she enjoys playing on her plan or banjo; she is quite j contented wun a ooou or rinds ample amusement in tearing a hat to pieces just fop th'i sake of putting it together again la a dffierent way. It doesn't annoy her at all because she cannot go out, and while others are yawning and growling at J the weather she tindn the day altogether j too short, and soon, by her own persistent . unshinnyness. imbues others with the i Jda that there are far worse calamities than rain, and when ihe sunsh.ne comes i once more she relapse int i that neutral j calm that is unmoved until another gray i day comes around.

With such the mastering of the craft is a very rapid operation. I have known a young woman to establish herself in what proved a paying business only six months after she commenced to learn. I find that a great many beeom? discouraged when tht y see how deftly and easily the work ls done by those who are experienced 4nl compare their own clumsy efforts,-' and here Ls where patience conies in. or should ccme in. to do her smiling work. Time pnt in acquiring knowledge of how to u tro thing one- It to do well is a good investm-t and will pay compound ir.tprtst by and oy. In a first-class establishment a good maker receives from J12 to $1G per week; a trimmer, from $20 to .10. From the first three months of nothingness to such wages at intervals by lesser weekly sums, gradually increasing until the pinnacle- la reached, which often occurs in an incredibly short time. This trade, once learned, Is one which a woman may resume at any time In her life should she marry in youth and leave it, as so many women do leave the occupations toy which they have earned their maiden bread since it may be pursued in her own home. Many "parlor" milliners earn very considerable incomes. I have no hesitation In advising young girls to learn a business in which the opportunities are so favorable. The ranks are by no means overcrowded because of the qualities necessary to -insure success; also perhaps because in these times women are diverted by the many new avenues

Fnalilon That Didn't Fit. Some years ago the empress cf Japin, who ii a very charming person without being extremely good lwking, was seized with a desire to introduce F,urop?an fashions at the court of Tokio. She had a l.irg? number of gowns, fans, bnnnets, gloves and other treasure of feminin j arparel dear to a fashionable woman's heart mid1. In Paris? No. In- practical, prosaic Berlin. This wa3 very unfortunate, as the dresses, while material and cost wer all that could be desire., totally lacked that undefinabl? sjmething c.ill:d chic, style or whttever you pleise. Th? empress struggled heroically in her resolution to think the imported ab.min ati jus b?iutiful and becoming, and the ladies of th? court had, of course, to take their cue from her. The result was that a former fluttering bevy cf bewitchingly arrayed Japmes? butterflies in th?ir eccentric but charmingly picturesque gtrmnts wer-? transformed into tedious 1 oking, grotcoue cocoons of a decidedly "Dutchy" typ-. Rut the hour of repentance soon came, and with i: a radical change. The empress realized, as her looking glass whisrered it, that she is not nearly so fctchon ing in an ill Utting gown make a she is in her niiiv, ouaint cut and sinning with' mo:iie of skillfully l.ei:ed of let man costum- of its ri.-h har- !

Shoe and Leather Reporter. llurinony in Furniture. Many a worn in who has sighed for some new niece of furniture, new curtains or rug has found, upon gaining It. that somehow her rooms are much uglier or s.iabbier than before. The new object his been selected because the style or color Is j fashionable or pretty In itself, without a j thougnt of how it is going to harm e:iiz i with its old-fashioned relative. I.: add- i lng to partly furnished rooms, unless it j woman can. as the pa rase goes, "cany ! colors in her eye." it is often hardly safe ! to buy a rug until it has been tried in the i room where it is to go, while in bringt drapetles, furniture coverings, ct... a ! sample is gem-rally safest, though it may ! mnke more shopping necessary.

Without a trvnnt. In a small home where pennies count and life's problem seems difficult to solve, with an ailing woman to do the housework of the family, and no room for a girl, the most economical thing to do is to hire the washing and ironing done out of th? houe. When you come to count the pay and board for service of a girl who must always be looked for, it amounts to a great deal, but when you pay $1.30 a week for the laundering of the clothes and have It done out of the house the worst of the work is done and no worry to you and no great ccst. liven if you have to pay 50 cents more to get a woman to coma and do the sweeping and scrubbing once a week you come off winner.

EX-SECRETARY FOSTER HERE. An Interesting Talk on Vzar Alesiinilrr'i Heath. Mr. Foster talked last night of the deceased czar of the Russian. As minister to the imperial court he knew the dead monarch, and his residence at St. Petersburg as well as his wide acquaintance with diplomatic and international affairs have given him extensive knowledge of Russian affairs and policy. Shortly after Mr. Fuster went to St. Petersburg he witnessed the terrible condition of affairs attending and resulting from the assassination t" Alexander II, the father of the re.vnily deceased czar, and was thus thrown into direct contact wbh the horrors of nihilism. He regards the assassination of Alexander II by the niliilins a.s the worst blow ever struck at the treedom of Ruisla, for even at the time of his violent death Alexander was framing a constitution for his subjects, and had he been allowed to live, Mr. Foso v. ter believe'. th Russia today :i limited monarchy wi.i th-e would be power of the ruler vastly curiaiittl. j :, "l t'üi'W Ale;:.iivlfC' IJi.-V rt'iid.t' Vie' la.sj nip;nt, when he was czarewiteh or crown prince. He ascended the throne during my residence in St. Petersburg and 1 had tw audience: with him as emperor. He was a man of magnificent physique, like the men of his illustrious race. 1 regarded him as a man Inspired by higli and patrioticmotives and I have no d ub that he brought to the throne a conscientious desire to serve his people- tt the best of his ability. . ... . "He was a man of pure life, very domestic In his habits, gicaily attached to his wife and children and. without great jwrsonal ambition. He was consequently a man of peace and I think i Europe owes him a great debt of gratitude ,for his services toward the preservation of the peac e of the continent a difficult thing to maintain in the midst of so many large standing armies and the constant suspicion and hostile feeling among European nations. "When I was in Russi a the present emperor. Nicolas II. was a lad of but thirteen years old. I met him as a boy in his father's family, but bad no opportunity to make any intelligent estimate of hi natural gifts or capacity for government, even if there had been any indication of these at such an cu-ily ace. "The Rus.lan government possesses in its cabinet ministers men win are able, prudent and experienced men and I have no doubt the young czar will be governed in his administration by their advice and counsel. I do not anticipate that the death of Alexander will result in any serious consequences for the Russian empire or effect any radical change in its foreign policy. Probably no country in Europe has a policy so well established or as stable is that of Russia, and this policy so well defined will be patiently and persistently pursued in spue of all obstacles. "The ambition of the Russian is to smie day occupy Constantinople and hrr rulers will ever be prepared to take adVantage of any opportunity that may preS'lit itself jn European affairs to realize that longing ambition for their country. "It Is also a policy equally settled to develop the empire's great Asiatic possessions and to that end Russia Is now engaged in the construction of the greatest railway system on the i;lobe, reaching from St. Petersburg to the Pacific coast, and covering a dlstai.ee of G.'.Oi miles. "The Influence of Russia In central Asia has been very beneficial to the warlike tribes of that region, giving them peace with a stable and fairly honest government, which they have never before- enjoyed in their history. All the resources of the government will be exiended toward the attainment of these great projects, and Nicholas II. or whoever may follow him, will be required by his advisers to co-operate to the accomplishment of these great ends. "The czars of Russia are necessarily fatalists to a large extent, for they are firm believers In the divine right and hold the conscientious belief that they are the creatures of Providence and have been placed upon the throne by a Supreme ReIng to subserve Ills ends. This feeling, added to the great nerve and physical courage of the Romanoff family, its characteristic indomitable will and hug physical proportions has made the Russian rulers anything but cowards. At the same time they have naturally realized the presence of enemies so deadly, so secret, so stealthy and so patient that they have ever taken precautions for their own safety, and no czar would recklessly tempt death by going abroad without a proper escort and guard. Alexander III saw his father blown to pieces, his own life had been saved a dozen times by accidents which he termed miracles, and it was but natural that he should defeat his enemies, if possible. Rut he was not a coward and did not live In constant fear of his life. He transacted the business of his goverr.m-nt. worked hard and late, and when his labors were over devoted a portion of his time to his family, lie was to a great extent a fatalist, at d so when his time came I have no doubt that he thanked God for the fact that he was warned and was allowed to die a peaceful death."

The board of state charities held its annual meeting Tuesday at its ro mis in the state house. The fiscal year of the board cIo.se.? with today. The full membership, wifh the exception of Governor Matthews, was present, and in the absence of the governor Mr. Timothy Nicholson of Richmond presided. Secretary Ricknell read hi quarterly report and gave the board some suggestions and figures, which will appear in his annual report. The data and statistics were of great interest and the report covered many subjects. Mr. Bioknell said In part, in his report, that the expenditures for the relief of the poor in the various counties for the year ending May 31, 1S94, amounted to about $9S0,005. This, he said, was an increase of about $104,000 over the preceding year. The cost of maintaining the county poor asylums the past year has been almost the same as the preceding year, which shows that the hard times did not fill up the poor houses. The increase in the cos: of relief given by th" township trustees, and In the maintenance cf the county orphan asylums ha been very heavy. The secretary reported that during the year closing today he ha 1 made the following vlr-its: State institutions, 3G; county Jails, 46; county poor asylums. 44; orphan asylums, 21; miscellaneous. 43; institutions . In other states, 12; total, 20S. Further, Mr. P.ieknell reported the construction of the following institutions during the year; Monroe county poor asylum. Dearborn, Tipton and Tike county jails, n.iviess and Gibson county orphan asylums. Governor Matthews sent in the following list of standing committees for the new year, which are the same as in the past: (in Penal and Reformatory Institutions Timothy Nicholson, John R.
