The rooking school was ouly boru to the -world a half dozen years a^o. Now tbey Isave 5 tn»mo so popular that they are almost «s common i:i New York as the "drag store" in a prohibition state. "It sounds a littlo odd," remarked the fair .director of ono of these institutions, "to say that no young laily is considered to havo finisbed bcroiucatum and to be ready for society until she has taken a course in cooking. ^Nevertheless, that is getting to bo the fact.

It is beginning to bo j-calized that a knowledge of bretul making is of at least as much imjxrtance as a knowledge of Greek roots, -And that good soup is worth more to the humau raco than the ability to demonstrate a problem of Euclid. After a fashionable young woman has got through her boarding •chool. and perhaps been abroad, she comes hero antl gets a thorough grounding in the art of cooking. Work? Well, there's uot much play about it. She has to mix dough, inead bread, and wash dishes just liko the second cook at home. "There is no collego nonsense of sitting off end taking notes from a lecture. Sho has to do tho actual work until she thoroughly understands it. Bread is tho first thing, then meats and soups, and finally pastry and fancy dishes. Practical experiments in all these things are mixed with a greatdeal of instruction about tho care of a house and the details of marketing. When the young woman finishes a courso in a good cooking school she has tho art at her fingers' ends, and can get up anything from a hand mado and double jointed sandwich for a railroad eating house to a ten courso dinner of ho most elalwrato kind. Many of tho young women who aro learning these things will never have a chance to uso their knowledge practically, but you may bo sura their households won't be the •worse off because of it. "The same practical spirit which has developed the cooking school has made other kinds of instruction popular which a few years ago -would havo been frowned upon. Great numbers of young women of wealthy families and social rank aro now learning millinery and dressmaking. Indeed, I understand that •omo fashionable modistes draw no inconsiderable revenue from tho instruction which they regularly give classes of such pupils. Of courso, it is oxtremoly improbable that *ny of these young ladies will ever have to mnko dresses for themselves or anybody else, but riches havo wings, and a competent knowlodgo of these arts is a good possession for any young woman.—"C. E. R." in Now York Commercial Advertiser.

llufililng the Fashion*.

The room was filling fast when in stepped a pretty girl. Sho had the elastic tread, tho clear skin, the brignfc oyo, the blowing hair that belong to American young womanhood, but nobody looked at hor for these. Every eyo wus b«nl on gown, on hat, on wrap. Tho rest of the assemblage woro wintor sho was spring. I havo no memory for tho details of the costume. I ouly know that it was in browns and grays with a touch of rod hero and there, a ribbon sash fluttering from the skirt, a bunch of posies nodding in the head. There was no tournure. The drapery fell in simple and natural folds. A modest, unobtrusive garb in every particular, quietly •worn. Every ono gazed at the flowers and became conscious that tho season for feathers •was gone. Every woman noted the tailor jacket and felt a sudden pang of disgust at the weight of a belated sealskin. A moment before thoy woro uneasy. They had boen on tho vorgo of a transition. The young girl had precipitated tho crisis. It was upon them. It was past. Thoy would not appear in public again till thoy were dressod as she.

Two women behind uo woro talking about hor a "walking lady" from So & So's establishment, they called hor. One met her at tho picture galleries, in tho book stores, on tho promonado, wherever women congregated, they said. It was her business to rush tho season, spring and fall, ayd to introduce a now material or a novel shape, by looking pretty in it and drawing oyos wherever sho •wore it. "I am going to ask hor what she calls that jackot and whether bustles are really going out," wound up tho bolder of tho pnir, as sho loft hor companion and walked up to tho graceful young girl. A moment later tho two woro in conversation, tho walking lady answering her inquisitor's questions •wi nppareut readiness and oasa,

Tho walking lady is a unique advertisemonk I am inclined to think she Is a now ono. She does uot scorn, at any rato, to bo extensively employed as yet Most of the firms at which I havo inquired after her disown hor acquaintance—Eliza Putnam Hear ton in J5ow York Moil aud Express.

A Woman's Experience.

Whenever I offered to help in any household duty I remember I was told that it was Wore troublo to show m® how to do it properly than to do it alono, and so my poor, patient, hard working mother baked and churned and swept and ironed alone, and when sho had worked herself into an unwarily early grave, sho left behind her a daughter who could "neither wash dishes not •ow up a scftiu."

Perhaps I should blush to confess that I could "feed tho swine,w ayo mid tho rest of stock, and could harness a team and drive it, too, as wvll as any man on the place. For I had led a wikl, nomad sort of life out of school hours, ami when I followed my father and brothers to the field they did not seem to find it a trouble to teach mo, so in my way I became quite a farmer, but I was none tho less unable to keen tuv father's house. I learned it all later, but through much tribulation

chintiiy for hii.t£elf and not for her ha is guilty of that form of selfishness which is almost, if not quite, a crime.

Husband and wife are partners in the work of life, each having charge of a special department, and what each does in that department contributes to the general welfare and benefit of the "firm." Neither has the moral right to consult his or her interests alone. The interests of both should be regarded, »iwl the kind and thoughtful husband will not care to monopolize all the benefits resulting from tho labor of both. For every machine that he buys fcfl* himself to save labor, or make work easier and more effective, he will buy one for his wife. Ho will furnish her a good washing machine and a- wringer. There will bo a good churn, and tho stove will be one with all the "modern improvements." There will be a cistern, and the cistern will have a pump, and, of course, there will be a sewing machine, and, perhaps, a knitting machine. Why not? Knitting by hand is something liko going through acorn field with the old hoo. If ho has a cultivator to do that work with, why should sho not have a inachino to do tho family knitting with? She can knit evenings, do you say? What will you be doing then? Reading the newspaper, or magazine, eh? Well, perhaps sho would like to read some, rather than bo obliged to spend the hours until bed time in knitting. Think of it "Put yourself in her place," and—do as you would be done by.— American Agriculturist.

How to Be Agreeable.

Very rarely, If ever, young persons acquire the ability to converse with easo and fluency. This implies, first of all, good ideas, clearly and sensibly expressed. An empty mind never mado a good talker remember, "you cannot draw water out of an empty welL" Next in importance is self possession. "Self possession is nine points in tho law"—of good breeding.

A good voice is as essential to self-posses-sion as good ideas aro essential to fiuent language. The voice, from infancy, should bo carefully trained and developed a full, cloar, flexible voico is one of tho surest indications of good breeding it falls liko music on the ear, and while it pleases the listener, it adds to the confidence of its possessor, be he ever so timid. One may be witty without being popular voluble without being agreeable a great talker and yet a great bore. It is wise, then, to note carefully the following suggestions:

Be sincere he who habitually sneers at everything, will not only render himself disagreeable to others, but will soon cease to find pleasure in life.

Be frank a frank, open countenance and a clear, cheery laugh aro worth far more, even socially, than "pedautry in a stiff cravat."

Be amiable you may hide a vindictive nature under a polite exterior for a time, as a cat masks its sharp claws in velvet fur, but the least provocation brings out one as quickly as the other ill natured persons are always disliked.

Be sensible society never lacks for fools. If you want elbow room, "go up higher." Be cheerful if you have no great trouble on your mind, you have no right to render other people miserable by your long face and dolorous tones. If you do you will be generally avoidod.

But above all, be cordial true cordiality unites all the qualities we have enumerated. —American Agriculturist.

Mr.

Thompson and the Fainting Bride.

Assistant Secretary Thompson, of the treasury department is said to be an expert in reviving swooning persons, but not until last week did he have an opportunity to display his skill in that line for the benefit of his official associates. A party of New England excursionists were passing through the department, among them being a newly married couple. In consequence of the overexertion or the poor sanitary condition of the treasury, the young bride fell'in a faint immediately in front of Mr. Thompson's office.

Hearing the commotion in the corridor, Mr. Thompson opened his door, and, taking in tho situation at a glance, directed that the f«nt.lng lady be laid upon the sofa in his room. The young husband was almost frantic, and with an utter disregard for tho presence of strangers he endeavored to restore his wife to consciousness by pressing her to his bosom aud caressing her extravagantly. Mr. Thompson suggested hi* infallible remedy of stretching the patient upon her back, with hor head downward, so as to allow the blood to circulate to the brain. The young husband at first remonstrated against what seemed to him to be treatment too heroic for his better half, but he finally consented, and in a few minutes the young lady was restored, and the happy couple rejoined their friends and continued their sight seeing expedition.

Mr. Thompson says he obtained his experience in fainting oases from Dr. Gittings, of Columbia, S. C. The doctor was called upon to nrlminjitrr to a lady who had fainted. Upon his arrival ho fouud the patient stretched out upon a sofa, with a high pillow under her head. The doctor's first instructions were to "take that pillow from under her head and place the family Bible under her heels, and she will be all right ia a minute." Mr. Thompson never forgot remedy, and he has practised it repeatedly with great success.—Baltimore Sun.

A Hint to the Thoughtful.

A recently published pamphlet on "Wedlock," by an anouymous author, undertakes to show that matrimony is not so bad as is represented by many who make up their picture from the scandals of divorce courts, tho quarrels of uncongenial partners, and the disease and wretchedness that follow excess and ignorance as inevitable consequences. Ho assures the candidates for conjugal happiness that there is a golden secret by which love may be made perpetual. The great error, he thinks, is the traditional fiction that husband and wife are ono, and tho husband is that ono. Tbey should both preserve their individuality as they possessed it before marriage. They should maintain reserve the same as indays of courtship they should respect, as n, each other's personality they should each pt -HTVO a sphere apart from the otter in which exercise good tastes, judgment, will and activities with which nature has endowed every person, and which are the norma! development, health «/, •.juwl enjoyment of existence In a word, his rente, ly for the evils "and abuses of U» -$itutjon is, ih ai der tho same roof but -i^art.—Homo J—*—^

TERKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

dear, the ladies of the half world have gone in far the excessively polite and really courteous women are afraid of being misunderstood. A great amount of thanksgiving comes from tho half woman when a man puts their fares in the stage box, and as for giving one of them a seat, the sighs and exclamations and protestations are almost as overwhelming as tho perfume of pachouli or white rose that is all over every place. It is really very funny, and when there aro no men about—for instance, in an elevator at a large shop—they are equally effervescing to women. "My dear triAflnm, I trust I am not crushing you, and "My dear madam, will you kindly allow me to pass?" said like honey tastes, so overwhelms the ordinary woman, who has found "Excuse me" sufficient for most times, that die is absolutely driven to silence to defend herself.

But tho reason for scowling is found in the continued impertinence of men—at least men by courtesy. From Fifth avenue and Thirtyfourth street down to Broadway and Nineteenth street one is never certain if one smiles that a "liin may not smile back, and in a very offensive way. A minute's stop to buy a flower, a minute to look in a window, and woe betide you, if one of those horrid creatures be near. Really, the police might put a stop to them, for no woman, indeed no school girl of tho most frivolous type, could be anything out displeased at their glances, presumably of admiration. The stolid dude is so much greater comfort that one longs for him, even if he commits such a betiso as sucking bis cane. Out of town people will conclude the New York woman is ferocious, but, indeed, she has the best reason for it—self protection.—"Bab" in New York Star.

How to Dust a Boom.

The proper way to dust a room is to begin with the walls. Pin several thicknesses of cloth over a broom and sweep the walls down thoroughly, leaving at the same timo all the doors and windows open. This matter of sweeping the walls is important and should be done once a week in rooms that are much used. Then with a damp cloth wipe off the picture cords or wires, the backs of all the picture frames and the tops of the door and window frames. If there is any danger of injuring pictures or frames with a damp cloth use a dry one, but wipe them all off carefully. As often as you can get a good draft which will carry the dust out of the window, shako and beat the curtains, whether they be Holland, lace, scrim or what not, for they are prime sinners in the matter of harboring dust.

The window—sash, sill and glass—should also receive attention. Use a large cloth, with half of it well dampened for dusting, the dry end being useful to wipe off small articles that might be injured by dampness— and be careful that you manipulate the cloth so as to wipe the dust into it and keep it there. If it gets dirty have a clean one, and always wash thorn out and scald them aftor using. If there are insido. shutters to the windows they need to be cared for almost as tenderly as a baby. A thorough cleaning every week, carefully wiping both upper and under sides of the slats, is the only thing that will keep them in decent order. A room is not thoroughly dusted until all the furniture and woodwork and gas fixtures have been oleaned with the damp duster. Upholstered furniture should be taken out, brushed all over and then wiped with the damp cloth, not forgetting the under side.—Florence Finoh Kelly in New York Mail and Express.

Woman's Saffirag* Societies.

Ladies in New York interested in "suffrage for women" are, by means of different local societies, educating themselves in the question of the day as involved in politics and constitutional rights. One reason, aud a very excellent one, assigned for such a course of study the ignorance among women of the theory of government aud the necessity for a knowledge of the fundamental rules of political economy, whether the rights of suffrage be ever accorded to them or not. Of these societies, one is the "New York City Woman Suffrage league," of which Mrs. L. D. Blake, as successor to Mrs. Elisabeth Cady Stanton, is president. Another is the "Woman's Suffrage committee," presided over by Mrs. Elate Palmer Stearns. A third is the "Society for Political Study," at which city and stato governments aro discussed. Mrs. Emily Wakeman is president.—New York Cor. Chicago Journal.

Woman Versos Man.

"There is a growing tendency nowadays for women tounsex themselves—that is, to crowd into occupations which have up to late years been occupied exclusively by man. If women usurp occupations originally inteiuled for the other sex, what about the men who arc thrown out? for it is very certain there is not room for both." This is a fallacious popular idea. The question is misunderstood women have not become manly, but men have become effeminate. In consequenco of all their time immemorial employments having been gradually taken from them, women in thb Nineteenth century are absolutely driven to seek some outlet for their energies, or necessities, in new lines of work.—National Review.

Jnat Looked at Him.

Sometimes an impudent ruffian gets hie due at the hands of a woman. Not long ago a modest, well bred girl paused for a moment on a street corner to await the coming of a friend whom she had left indoors. A man saw the stationary feminina figure, and. approaching, began with confidence to talk about the weather and inquire the young woman's destination. He was met with a stony stare. He braved it for a moment and talked on, but presently his words began to fail, be repeated himself, he stammered, he stuttered, he even blushed under the cool, surprised eyes, and in the end he turned aud almost ran away from the woman be was insulting.—Chicago Herald.

The Value of a Helpmeet.

When a man becomes a widower be soon learns what the financial worth of ha wife was to him. When he is compelled to hire the food cooked, the garments made, the washing and ironing done, ho finds that about one-half of his income is required to meet these outgoes. Who saved this expense before) Lei the cold fingor* and tho silent lips in the graveyard bear testimony.—New England Farmer

Abo at the New Hats and Bonnets Designed for Spring Wear—Short Waisied Frocks with Long, Fall Skirts

for Tiny Girls.

With the near approach of Easter, women's thoughts turn naturally to the consideration of spring millinery. Few, if any there be, who would willingly go without a new bonnet to an Easter Sunday service. The shops are foil of gay hued capotes and hats of one style or another. It may be truly said of the majority of these confections that they are unusually attractive and becoming.

SPRING BOXNKT.

The stylish bonnets and hats represented in our cuts were designed for Harper's Bazaar, and are pleasing examples of New York fashions in trimmed millinery. Ths French capote shown in the first cut is made of black tulle puffed between rows of jet beads. The brim is edged with black straw lace dotted with fine jet beads. It is slightly notched in the top of the front, and the trimming of Charles X. pink silk lace is drawn through this notch on the hair. The flowers are chrysanthemums of the same new pink shade, with some green leaves. Black ribbon strings with picot edge.

The remaining model represents a brown Milan straw hat trimmed with blue gros grain and pink rosea

are made with yoke waist, leg

The yoks and sloeves of colored flinghama are often made of white muslin, tho yoke daintily tucked an 1 feather stitched, with embroidered edging set along the lower edgo, turned upward. The belt is of inser tdoa, and a sash of the colored material, about six laches wide, trimmed across the ends, i* fastened at the sides of the belt and tied in bow behind. A bias puff of the colored ma terial is sometimes placed across the shoulders of the yoke, suggesting a separate guimpe.

Heavy corded white pique, white bourotte striped cloths and smooth striped cloths in two shades of gray or hrown will be the favorite materials for walking coats for tinygirls the coming season.

don net* and Their Trimmings.

French milliners have decreed that a ladies' bonnet must match her costnme, and while many American women will not observo this rale, it wiB doubtless pro-rail to some extent. The new straw bonnets already in the shop windows have evidently been made with a view to matching costumes ia color, as thoy are out in all the new shades neon in dress goods. Bonnets of black lace and black beaded Spanish net over the foundations of primrose, pink, sea green or eherry satin are worn by fashionable ladies at the present time. Loops of velvet of the darkest moss great are u»d to trim some of the new bonnets, and these are lined with spinach or apple green satin, the fiowera nsed with these trimmings being pale green hops and pink roses. Pointed effects are noted in the productions of both milliners and dressmakers. This is achieved by trimmings being so folded as to form a point &t the top.

Becoming Tells.

A worrtan who knows says: I wonder when, if ever, women will find out that cream or whito veils are tho only becoming ones. A woman with any intelligent regard for her eyes, as a natter of coarse, wears no veil at alL A conscientious regard for one's complexion is the commoner form of intelligence, however, and this at least should dictate that soft colore set off pretty skins better than brighter ones, while they toy less unpleasant emphasis on defects.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

facts, Theories and Experiments la Everyday Life.

A number of disinfectants for household use are generally classed together as about equally good. But as each has a more or less specific action, it may be expected to serve some particular puroose with best effect. Following are a few common disinfectants and uses ascribed to them: Quicklime, to absorb moisture and putrid fluids. Uso fresh limo, scattering it about finely powdered, aud whitewash with lima

Charcoal powder, to absorb putrid gases. The charcoal should be dry and fresh, mixed with lime.

Chloride of limo, to givo off chlorine, to absorb putrid effluvia and to stop putrefaction. Sulphate of iron (copperas), ono pound dissolved in one quart of water. Poured down waste pipes this will destroy tho foulest smell. A quantity in an open pan will purify the air in rooms.

Tho Weight of Women's Gowns.

"What is the normal weight of a gownP This question was recently asked of a New York modiste, by a New York woman and was answered with tho aid of the scales. A black silk reception costume that glittered with jet sequins was first put to tho proof. It tipped the beam at thirty-four pounds. A companion gown, like unto the first, but rejoicing in a train, and yet more brilliant with jet, owned uublushingly to an avoirdupois of forty-nine pounds. An examination into the mysteries of their construction was resorted to in order to discover just where this weight camo in. It lay somewhat in the draperies, somewhat in the multitudinous bones and steels, to some extent in the balls of lend that were deliberately hung to tho bodico and concealed about tho skirt to hold its intricacies in place, and most of all in the jet that mado of the whole array a full defensive panoply, bullet proof.

Walking dresses were also tested with the following results: A tailor made gown of fine wool, with kilted skirt, but wholly without adventitious trimming*, a very Cinderella of a Lenten robe, weighed twelvo pounds. Fifteen, seventeen and nineteen were the figures of three others respectively. No kind of a dress was found that weighed short of ten pounds, and yet fashionable women who wear fashionable gowns are seldom known to complain of the weight of a dress, though their doctors' bills prove how serious are the results of such unnatural and uncalled for strain upon their nerves and strength.

I Keep the Hands Soft.

The roughest and hardest of hands can be made soft and white in a month's timo by doctoring them a little at bedtime. A little ammonia or borax in the water you wash your hands with, and that water just lukewarm, will keep the skin clean and soft A little oatmoal mixed with the water will whiten the hands. Many poople use glycerine on their bunds when they go to bed, wearing gloves to keep tho bedding clean but glycerinu makes o:uo skins harsh and red. Theso people should rub their hands with dry oatmeal aud wear gloves in led. The best preparation for the hands at night is white of egg with a grain of alum dissolved in it.

Amatear Nursing.

Amateur nurses are often ovel' zealous. They bestow srch care tlint it becomes wcai'iuoss to their patients who would gladly exchungo their loving fuss for the quiet indifference of on outsider. The nurse should never fidgetin and out of the sick room, but go about her work quietly aud calmly.

same liquid.
