Old—Titled BnsU*iunenBonM Hints. A man down In Hartford, who probably Introduces himself as "a journalist," terribly iuni pitiably ignorant of this fact. He sprouted forth the other day in quite a bartags* of wbioh thk is a portion: *Thia apartment of tba household will la found an interacting locality by thosa young of tba present time who are de» voting themselves to noroltioa, While it is troa that tba rolling pin, in red plush disgolaa, baa ventured into tba parlor, it does not signify that it is all there is of interest in tha from which it mrae There an tsreral articles of usefulness in a well regelated to which our young ladies ihoald be introduced, before their 'cards are Oiled.' A cotillon with a coolcang range for a partner, a pan of biscuit and joint of beef in.the set, would prove most enjoyable a waits around tha floor with a mop handle, nop en train, would bring tba rouse to the cheek asohotti8chea la washboard de soap bobblo party would be 'awfully good while a polka mazurka with vegetable dinner aoeomponimont would place tha laurel crown of firmly upon tho brow of the wives of the generation just stopping across the threshold. An exploring expedition to search for the kitchen should be formed in ead house about 6:30 a. m."

Now this is all very well for a man that Ukes that sort of thing, but in words like onto hiii own, "It won't wash." It is not gallant, to say the least, and. worse than that, it Is not honest. I would like to ask the man a few questions, first, of course, stipulating that he drop all old habits and tell tho truth. I'd like to ask him if he ever took a full quarter's sessions in dancing theoe same schottisches and waltzes and cotillons and polkas. If ho had personally enjoyed what he asserts to bo so enjoyable if ho had over in this samo way brought rones to his cheek if ho had proved for himself that such amusements wero "awfully good if he had ever, of his own accord, taken similar exploring expeditions at 1:30 XL in.

I would like to ask him if bo would think it truly reasonable of any desirable young wo

man to

refuse tho offer of his protection and

loyalty and general allcgianco unless he could prove that it was his daily habit, as well as his desire, to always black his own boots, to keep tho ashes from accumulating in front of the furnnco door, to shavo himself, to do up his own laundry bundle, to walk invariably to his offleo and to always bo ahead of his mother's request to se« about spring doors and awnings. I'd like his bold assertion that nothing pleased him so much as to spend the hour from 1 to 7 a. m. in bending aback over an empty stomach pulling weeds in tho front •walk, raking the rubbish from besido tho carriage house, or bettor yet, curry combing Billy the horea.

I'd liko to know If bo were equally as ready to obey hh father1* lightest law and tsavo tho old gentleman as innny stops ns his sister or tho girl that he has in mind, when ho so severely tnnligns the sex, is to obey and servo hor mother.

With ono more question I think I'd bo willing to let hint go, on condition ho'd never say such a thing again. I'd like to ask hini •nrhat kind of a youug woman, and above all what kind of nn old one, are his especial admiration—whether ho likes best of all tho girls whoso finger noils are broken ofT by contact with that same aforesaid "mop on train who has felons from pulling clinkers from out tho grate who gets all hot and red faccd from scrubbing and doing dishes, and all "smelly" from cooking whether ho admires most the old lady with hand like born, knotty and twisted with years of labor with tired old feet that can hardly bear her slender weight deep drawn eyes that look as if they had sron tho sun rise from tho woodshed door for tho last sixty years, except on the days when she was too sick to be ablo to go out through the wot grass and pick up chips to cook tho 7 o'clock breakfast by. Whether ho likes best such pictures to dwell upon, or whether those thnt please him bcrst are, after all, the girl whoso finger tips are pink and whoso nails are bright, who comes down rosy and laughing to breakfast at tho samo time he does, and who is as fresh as arose all the day long, and the snowy haired old lady, with kind, lmppy oyos and light hands and softly stepping old feet, who has soon a few of life's pretty things and enjoyed them right well, and can now give to others tho pleas urea that others have given to her.

What do you suppose would bo tho substance of this poor, foolish fellow's confession could wo once get him into the proposed palaco of truth, with every door shutf If he •wore like most men he'd own up llko a man that he was simply trying to be funny at tho ex|xnse of his mother, his sister, his wife ani women In general.—"F. B. M." in New York Graphic,

Amusement* for Uttlo Convalescents. Very often the convalescence of children is rotnrxted by a depressing ennui. little children have not the mental resources nor the philosophy of grown-up invalids, and if too youor too weak to road, it goes hard with tho patient—and with the nurse, too—if he must lie still all day, sighing and moaning: "Oh, I wish I could get tip"—"Oh, dear, I am so tired of this old bod,"—"Oh, when can I go down iifain-.r and all the fretful lamentations familiar to mothers and numa.

As it taxes one's ingenuity to amuse and pacify these little patient*, I will mention two or three things I did for my boy when be was recovering from diphtheria, hoping the experience may be of use to some other mother. Of course," I soon exhausted stories, and tho mild play with such toys as weak little bends can manage, and the old cry of "Oh, mamma, what can 1 dof* set in again.

The walls of the sick room were of bore plaster—as all sick-room walls should be, for a coat of lime makes them all fresh and pure again—ami when my weary child sighed, among his many sighs, for "something new Li the room to look et, I bethought me of a roll of pictures saved from a year's unmoors of a tandon illustrated newspaper. These I brought into the sick room and pinned all about the walk The effect was very enlivening. Tha room seemed suddenly enlarged— as if it all at one® opened out upon all the quartern of the globe. There were broad landscapes and wild marine scenes, battlefields, ChrfotmM ftrwkfca, noble portraits of horses ami dogs, brave generals and fair women, pretty groups of children aad tumbling waterfall*. The small invalid was delighted. Then I brought him a long, light stick—a piece of inch moulding, it happened to be— with which be could point at the different picture* while be asked as many questions as be liked. This stick wae an tmfixwMa*. It ww lik» baring arms six feet long, and the boy had preat fun "visiting all around the world" with it, as he expressed it, As long as he staid tn bed tha Aral denaadm the momlag was, *Oi*e as my poke stkk, mamma* As I bad to be oat of tha roosa a good deal, I ted a oaU-beD the toot of the bed, and we arranged a code

After awhile I attachaft to the ^tick a bit of string* with a bent pin attached, scattered some old toys abeat the floor, and the invalid had a grand season of "fishing.® It was amusing to see how shy some of the fish were, and what a time it was before tt*y would consent to bite.

Advioe Frasa a Creole Mother. A Picayune reporter has been permitted to copy for publication the following roles:

Encourage strict oonttdenee with your husband withhold nothing from him, and be patient in hearing all he would confide to you, that he may always fly to youashisoounselor and best friend.

Be punctual to a second in all engagements with your husband, and be will be the same with you, and in thus dcting you will avoid Tinif»h t.w. is unpleasant A failure in this important though apparently trifling matter frequently leads to great onhappinsw. It is to be essentially regarded.

Practioe economy in taking care of what you have, keeping a strict account of what you spend, buying nothing but what you pay for immediutely, and making your account of each month's expenses show you have more than you have spent. Be your husband's Tashiar, «-nfI surprise him at the year's Mid by a sum laid away for investment. He will deem yon a good repository and make you the complete sharer of his business affairs. This is a great way to win a man's respect, to make him feel he has a little savings bank upon which he can rely in time of sickness or financial difficulty.

Rule only by love. If you find a vacant place in your heart, a yearning for something greater, try and try each day to probe the cause. First look within and see if the cause in some way be not with yourself. Strive to call out the best feelings of your husband's nature with continual loving attentions, which, though they may be small in themselves, mako such a strong chain around his heart in timo that ho cannot turn carelessly aside from you. Show him your heart, without foolish pride—it is all his—and let him know you need all of his encouragement and affection to be all you desire to him. This rule, well attended in tho commencement of married life, marks most always a perfect union.

Go out always with your husband, but manage to make home so attractive that he finds no placo so dear.

Dress bettor for your husband than for any one else. Take a pride in his appearance, that he may judge your heart by his own. Never allow him to see you slatternly attired. Even be tasty in a kitchen dress or looking pretty over a biscuit board. A woman often is as charming in a working suit, if she understands the art and necessity for being AO

Take pains in this. Bo strong in your determination never to gossip, to harshly criticise. Keep a strict guard over your tongue when you would speak unkindly of another. This is ennobling to character and will elevate husband and wife. Nothing men so much despise as gossip nothing mokes a woman rise so much in a good man's estimation as to see her charitable, particularly with her own sex "For large charity does never soil, but only whitens soft whito hands." Seek to elevate your husband's heart, you will keep his respect as well as affcction.

Strict temperance must be tho order of your home. Set a good example to all exclude even wine from your table, never taking the social glass in your hand be your husband's strong guide, his guardian angel

Put down your book when your husband enters the room, and interest yourself in whatever pleases him, seeking also to bring him over to your tastes. Try for mutual concession, else you may travel different roads.

Never bother your husband about the servants. Cast aside disagreeable topics when he returns from business. Give your orders to your servants kindly, but firmly, exacting obedience, yet showing them the encouragement of consideration whenever it is in your power. Nover keep late hours. Rise early, that your household be not disorganized.— Now Orleans Picayune,

Different Methods of Growing Old. A proverb in the Talmud says: "An old woman is a pearl in tho family, but the house trembleth before an old man." This has a meaning deepor than appears on the surface. A woigbty secret is wrapped up in that proverb—tho secret of eternal youth. The old woman is a pearl because she is helpful, useful and agreoable. Sho takes an interest in ovcry one's welfare, and lends a friendly hand to the plans and projects of alL She doesn't allow herself to lose her hold on the affairs of life. Sho is still an active factor in tho household.

The old man takes precisely tho opposite trend. Not always, but more often than does tho old woman. He grows selfish and surly, thinks only of his own comfort, growls when any one makes a noise, and on every possible occasion verifies tho proverb by making the house tremble. The difference betweeA their methods of growing old is directly due to this: The woman never gets old in thought, and the man does. Her activity of mind keeps off the foe old age, whilo the old man actually invites him to como on and take possession, and ho accordingly cranes.—Gertrude Garrison in Boston Globe.

An English College for Girls* The Holloway college is a magnificent institution, but the idea is fantastical Fancy 250 girls, all under exclusively feminine training and teaching, each with a separate bed room and sitting room, besides a conversation room for every six, and a refectory, library, lecture rooms and picture gallery! No male is to be allowed on tho premises. The service in the chapel is to be Christian, but not associated with any church or sect There Is an altar nnder a canopy of carved oak, and organ and stalled seats. The rite is noble—high, airy, spacious—with extensive shrubberies and terrace gardens.

The lata Professor Holloway »kl pills and a harmless ohunent, with which he recommended persons to anoint themselves. These be poshed by means of advertisement. The college was nothing but a gigantic advertisement—London Truth.

Women who Marry Titled EngUdunau Ffew sights in art or nature can be mere melancholy than that of the American woman who has married, or who see la to marry, a titled Englishman. If there be, it la the American mother who comes abroad and maneuvers for a titled husband for her daughters. I would hava each a mother whipped at the cartel tafi. Yet, all through English society yoa encounter them. At bat a foreifn marriage is a dangeroos adventure. The American woman waa not barn to be the 4oQ of a d—•4 lord, or ta herd with the poor wafifiowera that dr^na^ great booses, as tho ftceaoed a^Js v. jfch appear *£•$-

TERRE HATJTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

Uio' codings tj-jr. of. Bbfl may Love •*i mudo to coos and to wash, for she may from the kitchen to the drawing room, ami has often risen from the wash tub to tha cxeeutivo mansion.

But she is a peer and not a vassal, and always a woman, which she is not, new has boon, and never can be in England, or, indeed. in any land where feudalism holds its baleful, brutal and despotic sway over tha of "y and aver tha invitations which men ordaiaed. I would rathar follow tha coffin of a daughter of mine to the grave, and feer laid tenderly away in tha little old churchyard at home, than to follow bar down tha aisle of St George's chapel to see hsr crowned with the richest coronet in England. —Henry Wattsrwm in Courier-Journal

Cnlttvattaa ofWamu'i Individuality. Tha women who inspire admiration are not always tha most beautiful They are the women who comprehend their own needs and study oat the best means to improve and niih. themselves attractive. Only a vary beautiful woman of a strongly marked individual type can afford to ran direetly against accepted fashion, either in drees or tha arrangement of the hair. Every one, however, can modify the prevailing styla sufficiently to meet her own requirement. Plain women can render themselves attractive by studyi ngihe becomingness of all portions of thair toilet. This can only ha done by comprehension of oneta self.

The highest cultivation of tha time is that of individuality, and in no other way is this more demonstrated than in tba general attire of woman. The plump woman of short stature no longer arrays herself in the modes suitable to her tall, slender sister simply because they are the "latest things out." Tha woman with a high forehead doee not comb her hair straight back because her dearest friend, who happens to be bleaead with the low, broad, idealistic forehead that artists love to reproduce, finds this the moet becoming way to erralige her tresses. Women cannot fail to find modes, fabrics and colors suitable both to their individual styles and to their purses, and it is their own fault if thoir appearance is not pleasing.—Chicago News. -.1 *"v Woman's Work as a Journalist.

The daily press, which has become already the people's university, is to be largely tho pulpit and the forum of the future Here woman has a place to stand, a pulpit ready from which no ecclesiastic edict can exclude her, and from which she can comfort humanity's heart, "as one whom his mother comforteth and in this forum can her weapons of argument be sharpened for the time when Portia shall become a flesh and blood creation in halls of justice.

As in the world at large, so in the world of journalism, woman's favorite specialty will always bo some phase of religious, educational, reformatory or philanthropic work, or some topic relating to tho home. Nearly all tho papers treating of humanitarian enterprises are already either conducted or largely influenced by women journalists, and, as every reader knows, women do some of the best work on the religious press.—Frances E. Willard in Chatauquan. "i New Society Sensation at Washington.

I understand that we are to have a new sensation in society next winter, and that "professional beauties" will be all tho rage. There has never been such a thing in this country, although the United States has furnished material to stimulate the craze in England, and I do not see why we shouldn't go frantic over our pretty girls as well as the Englishmen. When Mrs. Langtry came over with her reputation there was not a town she visited that could not produce a dozen or more women that threw her charms in$o eclipse, and pome of them are comipg to Washington next winter. It is the presidents wife who is unconsciously the causo of the proposed innovation, and her beauty has inspired a spirit of rivalry aipong the people who think they know women as pretty as she. —Washington Utter.

Manufacture of Cosmetics'in f*rance. The manufacture of cosmetics in France is reaching such perfection that all natural defects and blemishes may now be obliterated, and the reign of beauty in women extended to a good half century. Among other things advertised by a Parisian firm is a "nose improver," which guarantees to annihilate all tendency to redness in that troublesome organ, and without enamel make it of an ivory whiteness. A powder to eradicate what tho advertiser calls the "barbo feminine," that "despair" of a beautiful woman, i3 also to be had, and its efficiency authoritatively vouched for. But the greatest invention of all is an "anti-snorer," which by some mechanical contrivance makes tho sleep of maturity as noiseless and balmy as an infant's.—Boston Globe.

To Keep the Floor Polished. The cleanest and most polished floors have no water used on them at all. They are* simply rubbed off every morning with a large flannel cloth, which is steeped in kerosene oil once in two or three weeks. Shake clean of dust, and with a rubbing brush. or stubby broom go rapidly up and down the planks (not across). In a few rubbings the floor assumes a polished nppearanco that is not easily defaced by dirt or footprints.—Chicago News.

A Wedding Outfit on Dummies. The latest high-life innovation in fashionable marriages in Paris is the display of the bride's wedding outfit on dummy figures ranged on a platform, as was done the late reception for the signing of tho raarriage contract of tho daughter of the Co iitess de

had produced the toilets attended to point out the beauties of their creation—New York Sun.

The Best Inaect Destroyer Known. Hot alum water is tho beat insect destroyer known. Put one pound in a gallon of hot water and let it boil until all the alum is dissolved. Apply hot with a brush, and all creeping things are instantly destroyed, without danger to human life or injury to property.—Chicago News. rjy f*
