THE "LADY WHO WAS LEFT" MISMATED TO A GENIUS..

Things Worth Knowing—Paragraph*.

"Tbo lady who was leftP I said this inquiringly and doubtfully. "Oh, no!" replied my friend, "I said the lady on hw left. She is bis wife."

It was at the theatre. We had been discussing a famous man of genius who occupied a conspicuous seat, and I had asked about his wife. When the lady was pointed out to me I suddenly lost all interest in the husband. "Ha! hal" laughed my companion. Tour mistake was a good one." "What mistake?" "Why, your characterization of Mrs. as the lady who was left. I don't think she would like it much."

I had said nothing, and glanced again at the sweet faced woman who looked so lonely in the midst of that light hearted crowd. The husband was not lonely. He had everything he wanted except a mirror. Not having •ne, ho posed with a due regard for spectacular effect, and was happy. The expression on his face seemed to say: "I know it is trying to the complexion, this fierce white light •-hftf. beats upon the throne, but I've got to stand it. It is one of the penalties of greatness." Ho never looked at the woman with the tender, luminous eyes by his side. He did not see that like some fair and fragile flower she seemed to wilt under the fierce white light. Perhaps he did not care. "Yes," I said to myself, "she is the lady who was left"

The play went on, and whenever there was telling hit the spectators looked at the strangely brilliant man who was among them but not of them. Watching the lights and the shadows of that mobile, magnetic face they applauded or relapsed into stolid indifference, running the entire gamut of expression. But nobody looked at the quiet lady who shuddered under every shock or sound, and seemed to shrink from every fresh impulse of glare.

After that night at the theatre I saw ray lady who was loft many times and in many places. It would not be said that her husband condemned hor to scclusion. On the contrary he took hor everywhere. If he was lavish in the matter of his own personal adornment, he urged his wife to deny herself nothing. If it delighted him to pose as the central figure in afield of cloth of gold, stiff with gorgeous embroidery, he was determined that his wife should not lack for Tyrian purple, so to speak, and diamonds that would have graced a coronet. Why shouldn't sho be a happy woman? Her costumes were extravagantly oompared to symphonies and jwems.

But sho was not happy. In the midst of all the excitement accompanying the spectacular pageantry of hor husband's life she knew that sho was loft. Why indulge in any nonsense about her failure to grow with hor husband and keep pace with him intellectually} It would be stupidly, brutally false to say such a thing. She was lora to be the queen of an ideal home and to hold solely sovereign sway over ono heart But her husband had dividod his affections between her and the many headed monster thing tilled the public, and their home life had been turned into a gildod tumult.

I still see these two on public occasions. A shadow is beginning to darken the husband's face. He feels that life is growing stalo and -flat. Just why, be cannot tsfi. He knows that it is not the fault of bis loyal wife, but there is something wrong somewhere. Perhaps there is just the suspicion of a shadow on the fair fftco of the lady who was left It suggests a sorrow in which self plays no part. The fleeting yoars carry her in the direction of a nobler, higher life, and sho feels that she is traveling the road alono. I have ceased to study these two faces. The lady who was left is getting beyond me. I cannot say as much for her husband. He is still in sight, and lik^to remain there.—Atlanta Constitution.

Women Workers at Starvation Point. What ought to be done," I imagine my missionary saying to her "heathen," "is to convinco you that so long as you choose to do the work that you-like to do, and not tbo work which the world wants done, you must be content to dwell at starvation point. But do not complain of the world. You are having your own way. You are, by your own admission, doing what you like to do. You might just as well go out hi the yard and build snow houses and say This is the work I like to do and I should not be content with any other, and I think something ought to be done to get me better pay for it.' The world wants a few snow houses for the children, but it does not want more than may be had «t the cost of tbo mittens, and rubber boots, and knickerbocker knees that the children wear out in building them. The world wants a few flannel undergarments, but it is a very simple want, which a fe.w unskilled women can supply. If you chooee not to put thought •nd skilljand planning into the more complicated work that tbe world wants done, remember that you are having your own way you are not simply oppressed by other people. You are really tyrannising over yourself. The man with the wheelbarrow is more independent than the man on the railroad. Ho has only to walk behind bis wheelbarrow but he does not get there. He Is at starvation point all the time. Nothing can be done for him uuless he is willing to fall into line with the rest of the world and board the train."

And because we must look at all features of the case if we would ever improve it, we strike immediately against a fact which lies perhaps vary near the root of the difficulty, and which must be considered. To a suggestion of the country, this poor young worker replied with pathetic ignorance: "1 wouldn't know what to do in the country if I were them I don't seem to like it, somehow. It isn't the company, for mother and me keep to ourselves a good deal, but somehow we know how to get along in the city, and the country scares me.*

That undoubtedly is the statement of a widely prevalent feeling. To thousands of these pavement born and pavement bound souls the country is a great, unknown wilder* uses, a mysterious Sahara, teeming with gobUna and specters. To many it ban inaccessible desert of whose nature not only, but of whose ways and of whose approaches they are as ignorant as of the ways of Mors or the road to Juptter. They might just a* well be recommended to household service in an outlying ring of Saturn or to stock a little farm onooeof the hillsides of the moon as to be merely recommended to the dairies and porches of a Connecticut village It is all terra Incognito.—Gail Hamilton in New Tor* WorXL

The Development Bays. It eetens to me that the key to the wise development of boys Is their confidence win that and boU it, and you bold your boy. Let a boy one* feel that be can *ocne to you wfeh any trouble* great or small, and you will save M« tram committing foUies which be wfQ regret forever. When a mothsr s*ye to ber

best,* and is discreet in her counsel?, she will not only protect him, but strengthen him. A great deal of mischief is done by making mountains out of molehills. If a boy is so unfortunate as to be without a mother, let him seek the counsel of some wise and motherly woman. If a boy has a weak and selfish mother, let him respect her for all hi* suffered and shelter her with his love.

A groat many of the trials with boy* anse from improper diet The next reform should be table reform. Food is amoral agent. Hot spices and over rich food are irritants, and growing boys and girls are often corrected for some di&play of temper which is directly traceable to the table. The growing body requires an immense amount of fuel: it should be varied, simple and nutritions. Don't lecture your boy when he is fretfuL Dont exasperate him win him, and hold him by your love and patience. Make his interests your interests, and share your troubles with him. Nothing does boys more good than a sense of responsibility they like to be trusted, and that is the way to make them worthy of trust.

Much of the misery of domestic life comes from the selfish exactions of men who have been spoiled by their mothers. All life is an exchange of courtesies. Boys are quick to detect a sham, ready to resent a supposed injury and equally ready to listen to a cry of distress. Every woman in the land who is blessed with a boy to train has a sacred duty to perform he may fill her hands with torn pantaloons and her heart with aches, but the same hands will be clasped in blessing and the lama' heart will throb with joy if she makes him her companion and friend.—Kate Tonnatt Woods in Boston Globe.

Cnre and Care of Burns.

In all burns great care should be taken to save tho cuticle—the raised portion of the skin that forms the blister. Clothing, etc., should be removed with the utmost gentleness. Blisters should be carefully punctured with a clean needle. The best way to be sure that a needle is clean when required for such service is to heat it red hot, allow it to cool, and then use it It will thus be freed from any organisms, for in such a place as a burn germs will thrive abundantly and prove most detrimental, so that the utmost care is necessary. Then the raised cuticle should be pressed down to the true skin, and covered with a large quantity of clean cotton wool to prevent the access of air, as free exposure tends to increase shock and pain.

Equal parts of lime water and linseed oil applied on lint and covered with cotton wool is a favorite remedy, known under the name of carron oil, or tho blister may be covered with wheaten flour. Lately powdered clay has been employed, but for the first fow days it is best to wrap the part in cotton wool, sufficient oil being employed to prevent its sticking. Tho dressings once put on must not be removed for some days—not, indeed, until they have been loosened by the discharge or become offensive. The constant removal of dressings is disturbing, painful, and consequently injurious, and to obviate any necessity for it carbolic oil, as a disinfectant, is used in the proportion of one to ten or more.

Small burns or scalds may be treated by water dressing, lead lotion, chalk and water, collodion or Friar's balsam. Two parts of collodion to one of castor oil is an excellent application. The patient should be kept in a warm atmosphere, well covered up, and some wine or brandy and hot water may be administered.—Family Doctor. 1—

A Young Man Worth Catching. It is said that human nature is very much the saihe in all ages and all nations, and it is not likely that the young people of the present generation differ materially from their fathers or grandfathers. The difference, as demonstrated by th«i»-«nanne» than, must be owing to training—either injudicious training or a lack of it altogether and for this mothers primarily and after them fathers are responsible. The latter either give their inexperienced boys unlimited money and ask for no account of expenditures, or else give them too little, making them mean spirited and petty in disposition by a humiliating system that forces a son to beg every dollar, with full and satisfactory reasons for making the request The mother, in turn, coddles her son, sacrifices ber wants to gratify his selfish whims out of her own pocket, waits upon him and Idolises him, and between them they develop all the smallness and selfishnen of his nature, until when he comes to manhood he Is neither fit for society nor marriage. "A good son makes a good husband" is an old saying and in the long run a true one. Look among your friends, and wherever you find a young man with sisters to support, an invalid mother to depend upon him, or some home care, there you will And a man who is unconsciously developing all the gnat and generous impulses of his nature. Let sons be taught to lint consider the comfort or pleasure of mothers and sisters encourage their intercourse with worthy young girls let them understand that the manliest plealure is that of such companionship, and that it is a privilege to offer such attentions as they can. Then there will be cause for no such complaints as one now hears whenever there is a cosy feminine gathering.—Exchange.

Taste la Hons* Furnishing* Nobody likes better than myself a pretty, feminine looking house, yet, even so, nobody can detast worse than I a cardboard, worsted and ftlwp braai establishment of about tinfourth dilution. It makes me heartsick to enter a woman's bona*, hear her lament that she has not the money for these things which another has, and, as often happens, hear her give a sly slap at another woman of better taste for having them, "especially when everybody knows how much her husband's business has fallen off." She would probably be surprised if somebody told her that this same result has been achieved with much less money than the herself has spent, and when it came to her understanding what pretty sacrifices and Indecisions had waited on every purchase. Madame went without candy for a month to make that upland id, big, soft sofa pillow, while the very aristocratic couch on which the wonder maker sits means a whole season's going to parties without Sowers, in sweet simplicity unadorned. Ah, me! I love women so, I would gladly never see one of them denied an honest heart's desire, but—oh! when a woman makes up her mind to furnish ber house well at the expense of herself it is royal amusement to note the unexpected ways through which her economies will take ber. Till ber object is accomplished she is a stoic, a Spartan and a Boddhfet—a trinity of self sacrifice** all in one.—New York Graphic.

S To Parity ftsltai.

I wish to teQ my experience with foul smelling geese feathers. I tried days of exposure to a southern midsummer sun, then baked them in an oven for hours, all to no purpose. I had rsosntiy been using borax to wash blankets, and the idea occurred to me to use it for my feathers. I did not add soap, becauw it would leave streaks. So I pot on the boiler, fitted it half full of water, then added the borax, pounded fine so as to dissolve readily. In the lump it was as near the sine of a baijf {escapes I can describe it.

squeezed dry, a handful at a time, working them to the opposite aid. I then fastened the case by the end to the clothesline, thoroughly nhn1ng up and changing ends about four times dunng the two days it took them to dry. I felt I had made a discovery, and yearly in midsummer since that time my pillows undergo the process. I have no feather beds, or they would also. I boil in their ticks, and it leaves no streaks it they are squeezed dry enough not to run. —Cor. Braftleboro Household.

If Men Realised.

I tell you, that if men realized their duties and performed them, there would not be a woman working to-day. Trace back the trouble and you will find that it is the lack of recognition on the part of men to the claims that exist in their homes. Children are brought into the world, and too often taught to be independent, which means really one less for the father to care for, and one less to care for the father. Wives are allowed to add something to the income, and against this I cannot tell yon how bitter I am. Done with the utmost good faith, with an unselfishness that is thoroughly womanly, it is yet the greatest miafcnlrft that can possibly be made by a young woman. Man is entirely a creature of habit, and once he learns to rely upon a certain amount of help coming from the woman he will never cease to expect it, and sick or well, tired or not, old or young, he will fail to see any reason why it should not continue as it did at first—"Bab" in New York Star.

Flesh Worms or Black Heads. These are no worms and have no heads. To understand what they are, remember that there are sebaceous glands for the supply of oil for the surface of the skin, and that there are tubes leading from them to the skin. It is quite possible for the openings to become closed by dust and dirt (the blackness) the constant supply of the oil enlarging these, making them look like worms. Those who eat an unusual amount of greasy food sre more liable than others to have them, or those having a sallow complexion, a dingy appearance, indicating a deranged state of the liver. Do not squeeze them, but apply a warm, wet cloth, so softening them that they will discharge, at least, by a gentle pressure. I recommend regular bathing weekly, using warm water with ammonia or castile soap, with the frequeut use of the flesh brush. A very plain style of living, using no pork, will be favorable to cure.—Dr. Hansford in Brattleboro Household.

An Unlovable Creature.

As in religion the hypocrite is the church's worst enemy, so in the social fabric the flatterer is woman's worst When she goes out to a party, for instance, she is told how lovely and sweet and charming she is, and so gets to believe she is faultless, even though she bo gradually developing into a female rough by being cross and disagreeable at home. A young woman who is selfish and rude to her mother or brothers or sisters stands a fair chance of becoming in middle life a— well, to put it mild, a very unlovable creature.—Thomas P. Grasty in Arkansaw Traveler.

Matrons at Police Stations. A much needed movement for the appointment of matrons at police stations is in progress in Boston. It is shameful fo think of women, many of whom are by no means hardened criminals, left entirely to the care of men. It is as necessary to have women as attendants at police stations as to have women ssarchers at the custom house. Common decency requires that this should be done in other cities ss well as Boston.—Frank Leslie's. •w-—-

.Women Not 'All Angels^,1

It is a great mistake to teach boytfthat all women are angels. As they grow older tlfey find out that they have been taught a lie, and then begin to search for other lies in their ethical code, and the result is their faith is shaken in some things that ought to be held as sacred as holy writ—Thomas P. Grasty in Arkansaw Traveler..

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?

HOW TO MAKE COTTON DRESSES FOR SPRING AND SUMMER.

Prevailing Styles In Brooches and Bar Pineo-A Jaunty Basque Bodice With Waistcoat That May Be Worn With

Any Style of Skirt.

Basque bodices are exceedingly fashionable at the present time, especially when worn with a waistcoat of contrasting material and color. While confined to no certain age, these bodices are most largely worn by young girls and young ladies.

BASQUE BODICES WITH PLAITED WAISTCOAT. The bodico here seen and reproduced from The Season has a short basque at the back and may be worn with a skirt arranged in any style. The waistcoat of plaited cream colored surah, which is made, with the front part of the neck band, on a separate foundation, can be changed when desired. The lower part of the waistcoat, closed in the middle with hooks and eyes, is lined with surah. The pocket tabs are 6% inches wide and 2% inches long the revers are 4% inches wide above. The sleeve cuffs are 4 inches and the neckband 2 inches wide. The bodice here represented was made of mixed colored cheviot, with trimmings of red brown plush, large passementerie buttons and harmonizing cord clasps.

Brooch and Bar Pins

The brooch or round pin is fast gaining popularity indeed, it is now the most fashionable form of neck pins made, although the laco or bar pin—as the long pill is variously termed—is also in stylo. A pin to bo called a brooch nowadays need not conform to any regular size or form, so long as it is short and broad rather than bar shaped it is a brooch. In our illustration we give three popular patterns in neck pins, two being brooches and one a regular bar pin.

BROOCHES AND BAR PINS.

One simulates, with small gems in a gold netting, a star and crescent, which, by tho by, is a very popular design. The other brooch consists of a gold horseshoe with a clover leaf in the center. This is also a favorite design. The remaining trinket is a bar pin set with small brilliants. If a lady can afford but one style of pin it is advised that she select a brooch, as the probabilities are that another season the bar pin will be nearly if not quite out of fashion.

Cotton Dresses for Spring.

The cotton dresses being prepared for spring and summer wear are mostly of Scotch ginghams satteens, lawns and muslins, trimmed with embroidery, velvet and the oorded and looped edge ribbons of smooth silk in preference to thoee of satin or velvet. The waists of these dresses are basques, or else round waists gathered to a belt, while some of the French models are polonaises. The basques are shaped like those of stuff dresses, with darts and side forms, though not made to fit so snugly, and are lined throughout, sometimes with the dress material (being merely doubled), or in other cases with a plain, solid color of that material if the goods are at all transparent, while the close satteens have colored satteen or thin silesia linings that are sometimes supplied with whalebones, and finished in every way as a silk or wool dress would be. Tho gingham and lawn basques are moHft with reference to the laundry and may be without lining or with it, as the wearer chooses, and should have the seams pressed open and overcast The shirred basques will be worn again, with shirring just in front of the throat, or else along the shoulders, and again at the waist line in bock and front. Plain basques are short all around, but are pointed in front and have two box plaits behind. Their trimming is open patterned embroidery, set on as a slender shaped vest, with narrow revers of the embroidery beside it The collar is turned over and straight, as are the cuffs of the coat sleeves, or the wristband of the shirt sleeves, which are again suggested. The edge of the basque has in it embroidery shaped to a point In front, wider on the hips, and quite wide in

tilion pleats. A short square bow of ribbon is on the left side of the collar, and a larger bow with ends is on the waistline in the back. Small pearl buttons, nearly flat, with eyes in the centre

Tbe skirt and its drapery are attached to one belt: the skirt is gored as any foundation skirt is, hemmed plainly, or finished with a foot pleating, and has a cushion bustle and steels. if the appearance of a full skirt is desired, there is a fall of the material, or of deep embroidery sewed with scant gathesv or plaited around this skirt, and the drapery is long enough to conceal the epper part of this fall, which may be half a yard deep, or deeper if required. Tbe overskirt of the dress goods falls in a kmg pointed apron, with the point turned underneath, and has square or rounded back breadtlB»i!(itfti the top drooping down frotn the belt in points sr Ifcurnoose foUs.

ALL AROUND THE. HOUSE.,

Vp Stairs, Down Stain, in Kitchen and in the ladles' Parlor. An excellent way to dust a room is to begin with the walls. Pin or tie several thicknesses of cloth over a broom and sweep the walls down thoroughly, leaving at the same time all tbe doors and windows open. This matter of sweeping the walls is an important one if you don't believe it examine the cloths after the cleaning has been dona The walls swept down, it is next in order to wipe off with a damp cloth the backs of all the picture frames and the tops of the door and window frames. At least once every week get a good draft, which will carry the dust out of the window then shake tho curtains and beat all the upholstered furniture, for these are prime sinners in the matter of harboring dust

Tho window sash, sill and glass ought all to receive attention. Remember that a room is not thoroughly dusted until all the furniture, wood work and gas fixtures have been ck'.nod. Rooms that are thoroughly swept aud dusted once every week require but little extra labor when that grand and very troublesome household upheaval, known as "house cleaning," occurs.

Madras Curtains.

The present fancy in curtains is for the various styles, qualities and patterns that come under the general head of "Madras goods." Some of the new crepe Madras goods have fine tinsel in the tiniest flocks, but this is not regarded as in auy sunso a novelty, it having appeared last season. The arrangement of the metal is somowhut novel, and for this and for tho exquisite combination and blending of tho many tints the new goods are worthy of the highest praiso.

The favorite colore are of a somewhat subdued order. Brown in almost every shade, the entiro range of olive, myrtle and sage greens, copper, mandarin and every shade of yellow, a very little light blue, dashes of red mostly verging on garnet, rosewood and maroon, old roso, or faded rose as it is called, brick color and all of the variations of these shades are found in the best assortments of these goodsthat arc now coining from foreign looms.

Anew fifty inch all silk grenadine curtain stuff in fancy weave is attracting deserved attention. It is shown in all colors, the gold and ecru tints being the most desirable. Silk brocading in Madras weave on scrim and grenadine ground is shown in all popular colors and patterns.—Decorator and Furnisher.

Breakfast Mnflins.

Good Housekeeping tells how to make breakfast muffins: To make breakfast mufflni, sift with twelve ounces of flour two heaping teaspoonfuls of Rumford's yeast powder and one teaspoenful of salt add gradually a cup and a half of milk and two ounces of butter, melted, but allowed to cool before adding. Mix smoothly with a wooden spoon or the hands. Beat whites and yolks of two eggs separately add yolks, then whites. Bake immediately in muffin rings. This makes about one dozen delicious mnflins.

To Kemove Ink Stains.

Ink stains, when fresh, can ns a rule be removed from cotton and linen goods, and even from carpets, if immediately washed with cold water. Patience and perseverance are required, as the water must be many times changed and tbe rubbing and rinsing continued until every trace of the stain has disappeared. To remove a dry ink stain, try dipping the part stained in hot milk and gently rubbing it on cotton and linen fabrics this will usually succeed,

A Tactefoi Table Decoration. A very pretty and tasteful table decoration, where tbe housewife is wanting in silver and fin« glass service, and yet desires to make a display, consists of a low, flaring basket of light workmanship filled with flowers and their foliage.

Upon the top of the strip fasten apiece of "weather strip," so that there will be formed an air tight joint between tbo weather strip and the lower sash of the window, whether the latter J* closed or raised an inch or two, the lower cross piece of the sash sliding on the rubber of tho weather strip as the sash rise*. With this fixture the lower sash may bo raised enougb to admit air between the lowor and upper sashes without admitting the least air at tbe bottom of tbe window. Tbe air thus entering is thrown upward and has its "chill taken off" before descending upon the heads of the occupants of the room.'
