AUE women quite sure they know what they want, why they want it, ami the best way to set it? Is the mere wanting of a certain thins evidence of the propriety of having it? We ihhmI not expect that with the ballot all women are going to be at once preachers and workers of righteousness; neither are we to be sure that because some women will vote one way and others another way. the first are entirely honest in their convictions and the others dishonest. We are not to suppose that all tlx women of the country and all the good men of the country are going to see things in the same way and that way diametrically opposed to the way in which all the bad men see things. No. there are Soim to be differences of opinion in political matters, and different ways of looking at moral questions, and different methods proposed for moral reforms, whoever does the voting. Not all men are bad, not all women are good; not all men s're foolish, not all women are wise; and multiplying votes is not the onlv wav to purify the coun try, even if the increased votes are all female. It will not do to be too sanguine as to results, merely because the women we happen to know eem desirous for the go; id of the community in which they live and of the nation of which that community forms a part. People do not see thin gs just alike, and the new woman is as likely to find perplexity as to what is best, and how to secure it, as her brother has found it in the past. Womankind. Kcachcs to the Knees. Long ago Lady Florence Dixie voted the dress skirt an abomination, seeing neither beauty nor sense in the uncomfortable, feet-hampering costume. In this view she has been joined by all dress reformers, nearly every one of whom has evolved one or more ideal costumes for herself and her sisters. About the time Lady Florence began to be convinced tint the skirt must go she visited a theater where "As You Like It" was being played. The costume worn bj' Rosalind struck her fancy as being just about what was needed. With the go which characterises everything she does, her ladyship gave orders for the construction of I.ATY DiXIK S 1PKAI. OiSTfMK. such a dress, and before long had it modeled exactly to her satisfaction, trsince then she never wears any other when paying her annual visit to Scotland. On these visits Lady Florence Indulges in long tramps through the moors, occasionally doing twenty miles in a day without feeling any inconvenience afterward. This she could not, of course, do in ordinary skirts, which she declares are the cause of many a woman's enfeebled condition. Hot Water. A prominent physician of New York recently declared that hot water is woman's best friend. It will cure dyspepsia, if taken before breakfast, and will ward off chills, when she comes in from the cold. It will stop a cold, if taken early in the stage. It will relieve a nervous headache, and give instant relief to tired ami inilamed eyes. It is most etlicacious for sprains and bruises, nd will frequently stop the How of Mood from a wound. It is a sovereign remedy for sleeplessness, and, in conclusion, the doctor asserts, "wrinkles Ib'e from it, and blackheads vanish before its constant use." Womankind. How Troubles Arc Divided. Troubles are pretty evenly divided, after all. A girl has to fold her hands and wait for a man to ask her to go to the theater with him, but when she does go she lias the comfort of making the man

spend a lot of money. That consoles her to a certain extent. A girl may so nearly districted when she feels that the band of her dress skirt has come unfastened, but think of the misery of the man when the buttonhole ia the nockband of his shirt rips open and lets his collar and necktie slide up to his ears. A girl has to entertain stupid callers whether she wants to or not. because society demands it. A man has to danea with girls who can't even walk gracefully, because if he did not his hostess would consider him rude. A girl carries her life in her hands when she tries to get within a rod of a bargain counter, but she can walk along the street in peace. Half a dozen bootblacks don't yell, "Shine, sir; shine? at her. A girl has heaps of trouble with her complexion and her front hair, but she doesn't have to have a razor go traveling over her face every day. A girl is very likely to spend weeks in planning the construction of a new hat, but when she does get it people don't sit on it, as they always do on men's headgear. Perhaps that's because a girl doesn't leave her hat lying aroum on sofas and chairs.

One of the lecturers before the Haitimore Cooking Si-hool recently gave this receipt for cooking a husband, which is not commonly found in the books on cookery: "A good many husbands are utterly spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about it as if their husbands were balloons, ami blow them up. Others keep them constantly in hot water, others let them freeze by indifference and carelessness. Sinne keep them in a stew by irritating ways and words. Others roast them. Some keep them in a pickle all their lives. It cannot be supposed that any hsband will be tender and good if managed in this way, but they are really delicious when properly treated. In selecting your husband do not go to market for him, as the best are always brought to your door. It is far better to have none, unless you will patiently learn Iiotv to govern him. See that the linen in which you wrap him is properly washed and mended, with the required number of buttons and springs tightly sewed on. Tie him in the kettle by a strong silk cord called Vomfort as the one called 'duty' is apt to be weak. They are apt to fall out of the kettle, and to be burned and crusty on the edges, since, like crabs ami lobster.", you have to cook them while alive. If he sputters and fusses do not be anxioussome husbands do this until they are called done. Add a little sugar in the form of whatconfeetionerseallkisscs, but no vinegar and pepper on any account. A little spice improves theui. but it must be used with judgment. Do not stick any sharp instrument into him to sec if he is becoming tender. Stir him gently, watching the while lest he adhere to the kettle, and so become useless. You cannot fail to know when he is done. If this treatment is closely followed, you will lind him all the more desirable; but do not be careless with him and keep 1dm In too cool a place." Washing a Silk Blouse. Make a good lather with white curd soap and hot water in a small tub or pan and add a small wineglass of vinegar, pouring the same amount into another pan containing about two quarts of cold water. Place the blouse in the water, holding it by the neck band, and rub it downward, taking care not to drag it in any way and never to rub soap upon it. As soon as it appears to be clean place it in the cold water, stir it about to remove all trace of soap ami squeeze carefully, but do not wring: roll in a dry cloth for a few minutes or pass through an Indian rubber wringer and iron both sides, keeping the grain of the silk quite even. If the blouse needs stiffening it can be passed through a solution of gum arable made by adding a quarter of an ounce of gum arable to one quart of boiling water, ami then ironed, but the use of gu:n spoils the texture of the silk. What Is a "Lady?" It would never enter into my head to think a person of great wealth and possessed of a fine establishment, a lady, if she could turn in her own house from beaming recognition of some star of contemporaneous fashion to bestow a frozen greeting upon a social makeweight, or a poor friend of other days who had not kept pace with her in progress up the ladder of society, writes Mrs. llurton Harrison in an interesting discussion of the proper usage of the terms "woman" and "lady," in the Indies' Home Journal. To la j down a law for the use of the word in the present condition of American society would. I think, puzzle the most Ingenious makers of social codes. For the time it must remain a matter of intuition when and where to apply the graceful courtesy title of "lady." Tight collars are apt to produce a permanent swelling of the throat

THINGS PERTAINING TO FARM AND HOME. THE Too Many "Penny Wise and Pound Foolish" Farmers Value of Mutton for the lIo::ie-Over-I'eediiig Fowls a Mistake MnMxs Cheese. Ilea ling Farmers. When first commencing business a farmer should be willing to sell his produce for what it will bring, but in all cases he should use his utmost endeavors to produce the best article. This he can do to some extent by carefully experimenting, but to obtain the highest state of perfection a man must be a constant and careful reader, thus adding to his own experience the experience of others and also receiving much benefit from the investigations of scientific men like T. V. Terry, Galen Wilson, Waldo Brown and others who contribute regularly to the Practical Farmer. Hut we often hoar from the farmer the declaration: "We have no time to read." "Why:" "Because we have too much manual labor to do ourselves, and if we should spend any time in reading, investigation or experimenting, we should have to hire more men and pay mote cash for the additional labor, thereby incurring immediate financial loss." Quite true; we agree such appears to be the case, but we also know the idea is "penny wise and pound foolish," for by adhering to it we keep in the same old ruts as our forefathers. Put this we can do no longer, as the seil has lost much of its virgin fertility, and calls loudly for more enlightened husbandry. We have repeatedly noticed studious young farmers who had no better school advantages and not as good financial starts in liftt as many others, who have in a few years taken honorable situations in our country and have been the means of elevating the agricultural standard of the United States and Canada. These men have been ridiculed as "scientific farmers," etc.. but the hard times of the last few years have shown that these men have shielded themselves from much of the evil that has fallen on the other class. Another noticeable and praiseworthy feature in favor of the reading farmers is that their homes and farms are more beautiful and more comfortable in all waj-s, and if this were the only argument it should be sullicient to convince any sane man; but besides this, their families are more refined and intelligent and better fitted for higher and more useful spheres in life. The reading farmer also becomes fully conversant with each department of his business, ami does nothing in the dark, a striking contrast to the nomvader, who does much at haphazard, hoping for the best results, but not knowing whether they will be obtained or not. The wisest, most useful men the world has ever known have been to a greater or less extent studious readers, and there is no calling in life which demands more careful study and investigation than that of fanning. Pending will elevate the farmer from a tired drudge to an intelligent and respected citizen. Then, and not until then, will his calling receive the respect to which it is entitled, for knowledge means power. K. II. Canady in Practical Farmer. Mutton for the Home. Whatever may be said of the present prospects of sheep as a commercial venture, there is one aspect of sheep husbandry in relation to which no farmer can ever make a mistake, and that is the keeping of a sufficient number of the right kind of sheep to provide an abundance of good, wholesome meat for the use of his own family. There is no time like the present for the wideawake fanner to secure a dozen or more good sheep of one of the mutton breeds, the increase of which will supply his own table at a lower cost and in a more satisfactory way than it can be done with any of the other domestic animals. If it is not written that man shall not live by hog alone it ought to be, ami any farmer who once adopts as a part of his bill of fare a regular and frequent use of good lamb and mutton of his own raising will be so satisfied with the practice that he will never abandon it. Sheep of the right kind were never so cheap as now and the cost of a small flock for the purpose indicated will be almost nominal. As compared with other live stock the carcasses are small, and there is only a small part of the year when a healthy family cannot consume a lamb, or a mutton while it is yet fresh, or if this be too much for them an exchange with a neighbor is never hard to effect. There is further advantage in this, that the sheep Industry will revive before a great' while and become one of the most profitable, commercially, in the not distant future, as it has been in the past. The farmer who retains or purchases a small flock now will not only supply himself with good meat for his own table, but lie will be .accustomed to the management of sheep and when the good times for the golden hoof come again he will be ready to take hold, not as a novice, bat as one having a working knowledge of the business. He will, moreover, have a small flock to start with that has cost, if bought at present prices, very little, aud has paid its way during the whole time lie has had It. Iowa Homestead. Mistake in Feeding; Fowls. The greatest mistake In feeding fowls Is In over-feeding. Hens are gorged with food which makes fat instead of providing those elements which go to make up the egg. Corn consists almost wholly of starch and oil, and, while it is a good food for fattening fowls, it Is one of the worst of all foods for producing eggs. No one food contains all the needed elements, and a mixture of several kinds should be con-

stantly given. It is quite possible that the production of eggs may be largely increased by a truly scientific system of feeding, and every poultry-keeper should make a study of such a system, not being alarmed at the idea of the scientific part of it, because science is nothing more than perfectly right and exact practice, and is nothing an ordinary sensible person need be afraid of.

Making of Cheese. A most neglected part of thedomcstic economy of the farm is the making of cheese, says the New York Times. "Cheese should be a daily food of a farmer, for it is the most nutritious, one of the most economical, and is. or may be, made of what is frequently -a waste product. Six quarts of skimmed milk rightly managed will give a pouml of cured cheese at a cost of less than two cents all told, and there is three and a half times as much nutriment in this j quantity of cheese as in a pound of I beef from the round, freed from the I bone. American farmers consider ! skimmed milk as an undesirable thing without value, but the total nutriment in the whole of it is equivalent to 'Jin) pounds of the best round of beef per head per year for every man, woman and child in the United States, or 1Ö0 pounds per head for every inhabitant of North America from the (lulf of Mexiea to the arctic shores. At two cents a pound all the cheese that might be made is worth not less than J?22,fmo.mo every year. It may thus be truly said that the wastes of the people on this continent are, taken all together, equivalent to the complete maintenance of as many persons in Kurope. This may be saying much as to the poverty of the majori tj' of Furopean populations, but does it not say a very great deal as to the neglect and extravagance of our people." Pears for Market. A writer in the Home Journal gives a J list of pears which he regards as of the j highest promise, when all their faults j and excellent points are taken into ac count. In the first place he mentions those which are least liable to the deadly disease the blight. Tyson and sockel are named first; next the Angouleme, which is rarely affected. Among the many Angouleme orchards which we have seen there were as few or fewer blighted trees than Ave have seen of any other kinds. The Winkiield would be valuable but for its liability to this disease; the Bartlett less; the Anjou still less. Another pear, which this writer has omitted, has always been with us remarkably free from Might. This is the Winter Nelis. This writer is at loss what kind to plant in the new orchard which he is about to commence, but rather favors the seckel above all the rest. To assist in his decision we cite him to a single occurrence, showing the fickle nature under some conditions. In an orchard of six hundred trees of different varieties, and among them fifty seckels, these fifty furnished such an abundant crop eight years ago of large and beautiful seckel pears as to sell in the market for as much money as all the crop of the rest of the orchard. The past two or three years these same trees have been hardly worth picking, and this year not a single specimen has grown on any of the trees. The treatment appears to have had no influence, for a part stands in grass, a part are handsomely cultivated, some are mulched, some freely pruned and others not pruned at all; but the fruit last year was alike worthless on all, and all are now alike barren. Baltimore American. Root Galls on Nursery Stock. A new disease appearing in the form of nodules or galls on the roots of apple, peach and other roots has donu considerable injury in various parts of the country. The galls are of two kinds, crown galls, appearing in a bunch usually where the roet joins on the trunk near the surface of the ground, and what are called nematode galls, which consist in a thickening of the root. In both these forms the appearance is much like the black knot on plum trees. The nematode galls are produced by small worms which are killed by cold weather. This form of gall is not much known in the North, but prevails in some of the Southern States. The crown galls are known in Germany, and are believed there to be due to injuries to the roots by cultivation. As the bark is broken the sap exudes and makes a home for tho fungus growths. If this is the explanation, cutting away the gall and applying some antiseptic to the wound should remedy the evil. American Cultivator. Profit from ISreeding Sows. Sow pigs, if of a good breed, aro worth much more than their value for feeding and slaughtering. If they are managed properly, they will bring two litters a year, and increase in value until they are four or live years old, and longer still if they do not learn bad habits. Fach litter of pigs represents a value of $10 to $20 as soon as they begin to drink milk and can be taken from the sow. The breeding sow need not be fed expensively, except during the time she is suckling her young. No kind of stock can be kept more cheaply and none will turn itself into money quicker if there is need to sell it. The breeding sow with pigs will always sell for more than her value to the butcher. Spanish OmIomk. Onions are often eaten raw with bread in Spain and Italy. They take the place of meat among the poorer classes, to whom meat is altogether too expensive a luxury. Put the Spanish onions are much milder flavored than any varieties we grow here. The difference must be in the climate or soil of Spain, as seed of Spanish onions grown a few years in our climate noon produces onions that are as strong flavored as are our native varieties.

A Younc Woman Who Was Able to Deal with ManherH. On a Bay Ridge boat the other evening a young woman gave an illustration of how the American girl can take care of herself. It was on the trip 'to Bay Itldge, and the evening was rapidly growing darker. She was not more than 17 or IS years old, extremely pretty, with a slender, graceful figure, largo gray eyes and a well-shaped mouth. She seemed to be hurrying home to some place on Long Island after being delayed in the city, and she was slightly nervous. She took a seat on the afterleek near a family group, as if she wished to be near women, and at times she glanced anxiously at the falling evening shadows. The boat was near the end of Its Journey, when a young man, rather flashily dressed, stalked up and took a feat very near her. She was looking In another direction and did not notice him. When he spoke to her she turned with a little start. "I beg your pardon," he said, with a smirk, "but may I ask you a question?" She looked at him, but made no answer. "I should like to ask ,-ou a question," he said, pausing again, as if expecting some encouragement. There were half a dozen men near who looked as If it would give them pleasure to pick tho fellow up by the neck and drop him into the sea, but no one moved. livery one seemed to feel that the young woman was perfectly capable of taking care of herself. She was looking at him steadily, with a little indescribable smile around her mouth, which could not be mistaken. "I wanted to ask you," lie said hesitatingly and beginning to look very uncomfortable, 'if you had any objection to my sitting here." She half turned away, as if the conversation were ended. "Do you mind," he said, "if I " She turned slowly and gave him another look. It was very calm and unperturbed, but there was an unspeakable meaning in the glance. lie got up and sneaked away. She had not spoken a word. Her eye had not even flashed. She had looked neither indignant nor frightened, but he had fled in consternation. She turned with no sign of emotion, and leaning her elbow on the rail so that her hand rested on a pretty cheek, looked at the lights down tho bay, as if she were enjoying the lovely evening. New York Tribune. HUMORING THE GREAT PETER. How the Sovereign of Wurtcmbers Carried Out His Little Joke. It seems that the Czar, who has determined on retaining his incognito In traveling through Furope, absolutely declined to take up his quarters at the royal palace at Stuttgart, but insisted on going to an inn. Having learned of this prior to his arrival, the Wurteraberg sovereign caused all the hotel and inn keepers to remove their signs. Over the principal doorway of Iiis palace he had a huge sign hung out stating that within there was cheer for man and beast at cheap prices, and that the name of tho hotel was Konigsbau. On the Czar's carriage aud retinue entering the city the postilions, previously instructed by the Wurtcniberg officials, drove straight to the palace, and there, standing at the main entrant, was the sovereign, fat, burly, and jovial, arrayed In the traditional costume of a bonifaee, with white apron and cap, etc., while the various princesses, princes, nobles, and dignitaries of his court were costumed as waiters, and waitresses, cstlers. and other servants. Peter the Great, greatly amused at this witty and kindly maner of humoring his wishes, entered thoroughly into the spirit of the joke, w hich was kept up until the following day. when he proceeded on his journey. Noticing that tho postilion mounted on the wheeler of his traveling carriage was a man of singularly unkempt appearance, his clothes ragged and covered with mud, he made a remark to one of Iiis attendants that there was at least no mistake as to the social condition of that man, and that there could be no danger of his being a nobleman in disguise. And yet, when at the end of the first stage, the postilion came to the carriage door to receive his gratuity and raised tho cap from his head, the Czar to his astonishment recognized in him the heir to the Wurtcniberg throne, who had assumed this disguise for the purpose of speeding his father's imperial guest. New York Home Journal. Thirty Thousand Rubbers. The late Maharajah Dhuleep Singh (a player much above the average) once told Cavendish that he had been studying his (Cavendish's), book on whist. "And I hope your Highness found it a profitable investment." said the gratified author, "t h! no. quite tho contrary." was the reply; "since I studied the game, I have lost thousands." Cavendish supposes this to have been a piece of humorous exaggeration c-u the Maharajah's part; but there was probably a residuum of truth in the remark. When a good player gives up a bold and natural style, and binds himself down to the rigid system of conventional rules advocated by Ir. I'olo and Cavendish, he Is not likely to bo a winner at the year's end not, at least, on any large scale. Cavendish is himself au Instance in point, for he tells us that in eighteen years' play, out of T.O.OOt) rubbers there was only a balance of ti'JS in his favor. In other words, he was one rubber to the good in forty-nine (about '2 per cent.), or one-seventh of a point per rubber. This seems a small percentage for a first-class player, unrivaled in Ida knowledge of the game, even If he played always against first-class opponents. Blackwood's Magazine,
