While a RT«at many of our young girls, having finished their nominal school studies, are restless and uneasy, half longing for a novel field of labor, for an opportunity to do something that shall help the world along, some mii£io:tary Hold or alsolute crraud of their own i:i life, they are in some danger of for^ettin^ that a tield for their usefulness lie3 directly within their ov.n gate* -a missionary field to which the)' wore Lorn, and whose neglect will injure far more than any effort they can make in other directions—unless very superlatively gifted for work in those direction*—can help the world. This field of which we speak lies in their own homes, aud is never so wel! cultivated as in the turns/)n of cold weather and bright fires, long evening* and bright lamps and in homes whore there is a father, an uri'.Ie, maybe, and certainly some brothers, our young girl is the priestess of the mission she desires.

To Make Mutch Scrotclium.

Japanese flguroi an, always ornamental-

one way is to make match seratchers out of

Talking of match scratchers, I havo mado a nuiuitor of original ones out of iiand paper. They srivo tho wall and are quite ornamental. One of the simplest is a shoot of the sand paper painted to represent an old mill with a storm coming up over far away hills. In painting theso use an okl worthies bristle brush, an the grit of tho hard sand soon wears it out. I use either oil or water colon, preferring tho former well weakened with tur|ontiie to make it flow easily. Another design is a desert scene, with camels drinking from a stone trough under a group of palms. Away in the distanco the pyramids are seen, giving it a truly Egyptian appearance. The water trough is box fastened to one-half tho shoot of sand paper and the camels' heads reach down iuto it, apparently. Another design is of a girl carrying an umbrella—pointed—with half a market basket in rwliof, this is to hold tho matches. There is a street scene with a comer and lamp post, aud the more one scratches the sand paper tho more the picture looks as if the rain were really coining down, for every time a match is lighted it loaves a long streak across the picture.

A design of a fat old lady selling melons in market is a cuto ono. In front of her is a half of a big basket—like a round bushel baskot—while all around her lie big green and yellow melons and pumpkins. Over her bead is painted a big umbrella, and no matter how many matches are lighted across her smiling, fat visage, she never seems one bit afraid of gutting wot. Tho basket holds the matches, of course.— Eva Best in Detroit Free IVess.

About Picture Hanging.

Most |HHplc who are fortunate enough to be the jKissessors of oil paintings know that they should never hung in a strong light, tor if hung they soon take on a faded, washed out upiearuno© but |crltaps theso same |xopIe do not know that chn'raos suffer iu tho same way tf exposed for any length of time in a strong light. Tho word chromo has an uninviting sound, being associated witu the advertising card yet there are many verv line ohromns that eveu the most artistic would not be ashamed to hang up in their hoiifs. Tho art of chromo making has

near perfection in the last fow

yeaix that many of the finer grades of way of success in literature or on the stage, chronvx aits much more preferable to the infert -mdea of oil paintings.

V.-rv ifum in pictures such as lithographs, stot-l engraving* or any of those that have gla~ o"or their fiux«, dust is observed betw.vn the glass unci picture, making on ugly mark on tho face or margin of tho paper.

Certainly! Why not!

Dramatic Career of Women. Many young ladies ask my advioe concerning a dramatic career for themselves, Tho play is a great factor in the amusement loving world. We must be entertained, and time flies, young actors grow old, old ones die, and the ranks needs must be filled. It is a worthy profession, when worthy natures adorn it. But it is a hard life at its easiest and best. In a dramatic career more than any other a woman should feel the impelling force of great talent or the extreme oommand of necessity before she enters upon it. As a rule it calls for the sacrifice of all domestic comfort, the outlay of every particle of brain and body power, and demands unremitting drudgery for years before the rewards are obtained. After the rewards do come tho labor of study and rehearsal and constant appearanoce taxes all the vitality of a strong woman and allows no time for homo life. Tho pretty young girl who dreams only of glory and riches needs to weigh all those considerations calmly before she ventures upon this most arduous and uncertain of careers.

A Mother'* Oetotion.

All the way through a man's life, be it consumed like a beautiful fabric in unholy passion or held aloft like St George's banner undeflled in the battle of life, his mother stands by him, and yearns over him, and praj for him to the last. If he is successful, she is proud if he is often cast down, she is pitiful if he is wicked, she excuses him if he dies young, her hopes are buried in his grave, and she never ceases to dream of what her darling might have been. Others may love him well, but their love never discounts hers, Others may be proud of him, but she always sits in the front row with those who applaud, and catches the splendor of his achievements before it is more to other eyes than alight reflected from afar, or the noise of wings that tarry in their wming. She anticipates bin. triumphs and antedates his victories.

Boys Doing Housework, t:

In tho training of children, a subject upon which I have been asked by many to write, I .cannot suggest anything better than that mothers should teach their children to be I useful, and begin tbo lessons early—from the first step out of babyhood. Parents would I more readily accept this suggestion if they would give it an honest examination. Unfortunately, except among the poor, whose poverty compels them to practice it, this is a doctrine that receives of late but little attontion, and is in great danger of becoming obsolete. Mothers—who must be chiefly responsible—scout at the idea. The excuse is advanced that usefulness with girls is possible, but that to teach boys to be of service is an absurd and hopeless task. It is said that boys aro troublesome, restless and awkward, and more given over to mischief fuid play than work. Wo are-asked: "Would you have us teach boys, as thsy grow older, to run on errands, up stairs and down, at the risk of overturning everything with which they come in contact! Would you try to .teach them how to dust a room, to help set the table, etc. f"

How to Select a Wife.

In the first place, soe the girl you intend to honor as early in the morning as possible, and note whether she is fresh and tidy or limp and frowxy.

Watch how she treats her pets—her dog, her canary, her little sisters. Discover what die eats and dfinkst, ihd yourself certain whether she bathes or uses perfumery.

Remember il she makes a habit of walking or driving. Inform yourself whether she dotes upon Owen Meredith and Henry James, or reads Longfellow ami Fenimore Cooper.

It would require, of coarse, a great respect for one's word to keep the pledge, since many pennies collected in the box would stamp one as ill natured or a gossip, but this mortification was probably prevented by having all of the boxes exactly alike and without mark, «o that they could not be Identified. The mere matter ot bring obliged to put a penny in the box when thoughtless remarks were made would be dfe. rative, because of its indnning the habit of thinking when speaking.

Cm of the HmXr.

Younj girls of the preKont day completely destroy their hair by crimping it with irons and twisting it up tightly with thick, hard hairpins. This treatment may make the hair look pretty for the time being, but no thought is given as to the ultimate result and the appearance it will present a few years hence. The hair should be well brushed every night and morning with a moderately hard brush—brushes made with short, unbleached bristles are the best—and on retiring to rest the hair should be drawn back lightly over the ears, plaited in one long plait, and allowed to hang down the back it should not be fastened up with hair pins, nor should any cap or coveting be worn on the head. This method makes the hair bright and glossy, without the aid of oils or pomades, which are best avoided. The fewer hair pins and ties used in dressing the hair the better and twisted hair pins are injurious. It is not well to continue the same style of dressing the hair for too long a perion, as that is apt to make it thin in some places a little change is a relief to the head and otherwise advisable. Cutting the hair occasionally is necessary, and should not be neglected.—New Orleans Tim ^Democrat.

The seed of the common sun flower is t£e best remedy for whooping cough that I have ever known. Brown tho seeds slightly, like coffee, then grind and steep when sufficiently steeped drain clear of the dregs and sweeten with rock candy or lump sugar. Let the little ones drink freely of it at intervals throughout the day, and especially before retiring at night In all ordinary cases, where children are properly cared for and kept in in bad weather, no other medicine will be required. It also has a very loosening effect oh* a bard, tight cough, and thus it seems that even the despised sun flower is good for something. To any who are inclined to be skeptical I would say, please try it before/ you condemn. I consider it so excellent'« remedy that last summer I devoted a cosw siderable portion of my summer garden to the raising of sun flowers that I might gather the seeds for medical purposes.—"Mrs. J. J. C." in Detroit Free Press. ,y.

A Boy's Early Training.

I believe that from the outset of a child's career the appeal should be constantly made to his manhood. It may be true that we inherit a large heredity of the brutal sort but there is also in every one, or in most, a large heredity of the noble and good. All the progress of the ages has not gone for nothing. It is in our blood. It can be felt as instinct. It can be appealed to and used as a fulcrum to move the boy to generous deeds. I do not believe in appeols to a boy's avarice and greed, whether it be in the way of apple tarts or paradise. Nor do I believe in appeals to his fear, Whether in the way of rawhides or eternal bonfires. But from the beginning, and continuously, let us call out the noble and make the mean a source of mortification. Our young men at 16 would then go out of the family with courage ot convictions, and an abhorrence for selfishness.—M. Maurice, M. D.. in Glrtw-Democrtt. _______

Seasoned SMtv Wood.'

Green wood is easier chopped than diy wood. But the forehanded man will chop the green wood while it is green and have it seasoned afterward. Stove wood seasons rapidly when ft is in a dry, airy place. Though tho wood must bo burned as cut, it is the more economical to chooee the dry wood. The extra labor required for its cutting will be more than well paid for by the greater heat from its combustion, not to speak of tho time lost in getting green wood to bumChicago Times. $ To Baild Home,

The true disposal of the latter third of the day is to devote it to the family for recrea tion and sports. I know scores of men who follow intellectual pursuits who never havs a family hour.

WHAT SHALL WE WfiAItf

SOMETHING FOR

HEW IN PINAFORES LITTLE GIRLS.

cuneet Style* is Jewelry for Men's Wear with Business Salts and wit!* Evening: Bum A Simple Loose Fitting Dress for Children.

Simple, loose fitting dresses fa# littlo girls always find admirers. Such dresses aro not only much moro readily fitted to their unformed figures, but are at the same time more becoming and more comfortable.

FRONT AND BACK OK BLOUSE DRES8. In tho illustration is given both a front and back view of a stylish blouse dress suitable for girls from 6 to 9 years of age. It may be made of any desirable wool fabric, and is quite effective when trimmed with rows of braid in place of the tucks shown in tho cut.

Styles in Cn.f Buttons.

T.inV sleeve buttons, medium to small in size, are tho sort affected by tho younger men in Now York city. These may bo of gold or silver and aro often unique in design, as a snake for one link and a bee for another.

The disposition of New Yorkers towfcrd tho link buttons by no means affects tho popularity of single buttons in square, round and oblong forms which, outsido of tho locality mentioned, are very popular. An attractivo design in single buttons is that of gold wires extending in four different directions and forming a 'square on which rests a little ladybug of gold, when a gem is not set in the center. r.f f^r 1

An Attractive Pinafore.

'ftie model here given of a pinafore or over dress for little girls can hardly foil to pleaso mothers in search of something new in this direction. $

OTRL'S PINAFORE.

The model, shown is made of muslin, trimmed with laeo, and Is designed to protect and at tho same time shdw the bright silk dress over which it is worn. It can be made of stouter material—in fact, such fabric as is usually employed in making aprons.

Bealakln Fnra.

Sealskin, now so fashionable, can hardly go out of stylo or use, for notwithstanding claims to the contrary tho fur oeal is by no means liablo to extermination. The number taken in any ono season is strictly limited to 100,000, and tho destruction of fehiales is absolutely prohibited. Largo as this figure may seem, tho number of seals. Visiting the islands in tho season is so largo that it in no way endangers the supply, and merely thins them down from year to year. It is a fair inference fro:n these facts that sealskin furs aro never likely to bo as cheap as many other Idnds aro. Tho supply does not greatly fluctuate from year to year, and the 100,000 skins annually obtained have to meet the entiro demands of tho world's markets. They may be more or less fashionable at ono time than another, and with the fluctuations of fashion come fluctuations of value, but there will always bo sufficient demand for so beautiful an article as to absorb tho supply.

Scarf Plna for Men.

Scarf pins for men aro necessarily limited to business and what are known as afternoon suits, tho fashion of the full dress suit calling for tho studs. Scarf pins for day weddings, afternoon receptions and other dressy occa«sions that do not permit of an evening suit, may bo a solitary gem, as cn opal, a cat's oyo or a star sapphire, which last, by the by, is very fashionable, or it may bo a cluster. To wear with badness or morning suite is such a marvelous array of gold and silver scarf pins that no attempt will be m^d® at their description.

Three studs aro the correct number for men's wear. With evening dresa jeweled studs are worn, tho gems being, however, •mnll and mounted in slender setting. In these studs, pearls, small diamonds and rubies aro employed, pearls having, perhaps, the preference. Plain gold studs represent a correct style for evening dress and are much worn. ',

Y" The Diamond San Brooch. Tbo new brooch and pendant knowi» i« diamond «=w» and consisting of a sua shaped ornament of diamonds in which tbo stows aro graduated from very lar^o ones in tho center to tiny ones at what ore suppoeed to bo the ends of the con's rays, are now contest* ia3 favor with tho old time craocnt Rial star ot diamonds.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE. Cfeltalold Work of Various Kind*—TVadltlonal (lood Dishes for the Season.

Celluloid, which can be bought in smi'l sheets, is one of the newer materials used in fancy articles, and should not be overlooked by those who are making up holiday gifts. It can be beautifully decorated with gold and silver paints and oil covers, and, being stiff, is suitable for covers to littlo needle books and cases of various lands.

Then there is much to bo done with chamois skin. There is hardly anything nicer feu* making sachels, court piasters cases, pen wipers, wipers for spectacles, needle books and the like. A pretty pen wiper is cut out in the shape of a butterfly, the body of which Is made of brovn velvet. Leaves for spectacles are shaped like a real forest leaf with tho edges notched. The top leaf is veined with gilt or with embroidery silk, and the whole tied together with ribbon.

Extra Mince Flos.

Every housekeeper wants her holiday mince pies to be especially nice. The following recipe differs considerably from ordinary ones and makes one's mouth water, but to read it: Keep a beefs tongue in salt for four or fivo days, then boil till tender and, when cold, chop it fine to this add two pounds of finely chopped suet, two pounds of raisins, two pounds of currants (well washed end drained), twelve largo apples (chopped), four pounds of sugar, the juice and pulp of two largo oranges and tho grated rind of one, a cupful of strawberry or raspberry jaiq, threo-fourtUs of a pound of citron shaved fine, a cupful of quiuco preserve, two tablespoonfula of ground cinnamon and ono nutmeg. Wet tho mince meat with tho rich liquor from tho sweet peach picklo jar, with a littlo brandy if desired, and add tho juico and grated rind of four lemons. £5**^

Christmas Plum Pudding.

Whatever olso may bo omitted from tho Christmas bill of fare, plum y.uddins should have a place. A small pudding, very light and rich, may bo mado as follows: To threo ounces of flour and the samo weight of fine, lightly grated bread crumbs, add six ounces beef suet chopped small, six ounces of raisins weighed after stoning, six of well cleaned currants, four ounces of minced apples, five of sugar, two of candied orange peel, half a teaspoonful of nutmeg and pounded mace mixed, a very little salt, a small glass of brandy and threo whole eggs. Mix and beat theso ingredients well together, tie them tightly in a thickly floured cloth and boil three and a half hours. Serve with wino sauce.

il A Delicate, Wholesome Dessert. As everybody does not eat mince pie, ptum pudding and other very rich dishes, something lighter -should also bo included in tho dessert of Christmas and Now Year's dinners. An almond custard is very nico and perfectly harmless to on irritable stomach. Tho ingredients are ono pint of milk ono teacupful of sugar, one-fourth of a pound of blanched ah: sonds pounded flno, two spoonfuls of rose water and the yolks of fow eggs. Stir over a slow fire till thick as cream. Pour into a dish beat the whites of tho eggs with little ftigar and lay on top,

This Is simply threo bags of Say 4 by inches in rino, with a casing stitched on noar tlio top of c^ch to admit a double cord, on which tho threo bags aro strung.
