The care of the chamber* In a hoaae is an Important

part

are

of the housewife'# duty. They

not to difficult to keep in order providing they are uot neglected, but looked after each day

carefully es the boosewife^a time will allow. There are parts of tLo housework that may be slighted when the housekeeper is in a hurry, but that part should never be the rhumhw work. The health of the household 4f»r»tni-U that this work should be done properly. A carelessly cared for sleeping room is as much to be dreaded as an ill kept drain pipe, for either will bring the doctor to the house more frequently than most people could wish.

Some women ore in such a harry to get their chamber work done that the beds are never properly aired. There I* seldnfi a necessity for this hurried work only in the mind of the housewife, who sees nothing but untidiness in an unmade bed. To bo sure, a bed stripped of its covering and left to air does not look as tidy as when mado nice and smooth, bat as health should always take precedence of looks, that alone ought to suffice when airing tin room. An hoar is tho least time that ought to be allowed for the airing of the bed, and no bed might ever be made without having been properly aired in this way. To be sure, more airing is to be desired, but, nevertheless, where there is sickness the airing ought only to bo done according to the advice of a physician.

Before leaving tho room in the morning, after dressing, remove all tho covering from the bed and place across chairs. Shake up the pillows and put on chairs, shake the bed, but do not turn it over, bat let it lie flat just as it wan when occupied. Remove from the room all "asto water, throw down the windows from tho top, close the door and. Jot it remain for half an hour, then go in, turn the bed and covering, and let air as long as dosired. When ready make the- bed, and usually a slight brushing of the room is not out of ptaco. This ought to be done with a damp broom (not a wet one) and little dost will arise. Then empty waste basketB, hair receivers, otc.. and thoroughly dust tho room with a cloth kept particularly for this purpose, wipe out tho toilet set and fill tho pitcher with clean water. Removo tho soiled towels and place clean ones iu their stead. If there is a stove in the room, wipe it over, brush up tho oilcloth or zinc uuder it and wipe with a dry cloth.

When a general cleaning is necessary, which in a room used ordinarily ought to be about once in two weeks, more tirao will have to be given to tho work than that of every day. Dust and remove all small ornament* and furniture that is movable into another room. Throw up tho curtains as far as they will go, and open tho windows. Remove and shako well the covering from the bod, lift off feather bed and mattress, and dust thoroughly tho springs, slats and bedstead. lteplaoe mattress and bed and leave to air. When ready, make tho bed the same as usual and cover the wholo with an old sheet, or piece of calico kept for this purpose. Take some coarso corn meal dampened just enough to make it adhere together, and shake it on tho carpot next tho wall. Sweep a speoe large enough to fit the bod and wheel the bed into it. Sweep tho rest of tho room in the same way, taking caro that none of the sweopings go ander the bed, or the dusting of this article will have to bo done over. Whe the whole floor has been gone over, take up tho sweepiugs, close the door and let tho dust settle.

When it is settled, dost what remains in the room. If the mantel is of inorbb, wash in ammonia water and wipe with a dry cloth. Wipe tho window sills and aronnd tho door knobs with a cloth wrung out of ammonia water. Replaco the furniture and ornaments previously removed, adjust the curtains, uncover tho bed, and the room is finished. Where there is an invalid, never sweep the room whilo the person is in it, no matter how dirty, but wipe tho carpet or floor with a cloth that has been wrung out of ammonia water and is only damp enough to lift the dust—Boston But!get.

The Practical Woman.

As I have said before, man has the advantage of possession life is the survival of the fittest and since man has tho vantage ground, only thoso women who are armed with tho same weapons, havo tho same determination to succeed and the same state to lorn will gain tho samo footing. I do not mean to accuse man of any more injustice than come* of this struggle for life as I havo said business is business. Mo man pays for anything more than he is compelled to pay. Let our girls becomo really thorough salesVomeu, both wholesale and retail, even if It comes to traveling let them practically learn printing, engraving, designing, light cabinet wook, stenography, book keeping, watch making, goklsmi thing, dressmaking (at which the practical woman sometimes makes a fortune)—anr of tho hundreds of Utings for which their nimblo and delicate fingers, native wit and taste, quick perceptions and faithful perseverance, fit them, and let them learn it as a business thoroughly, honorably, with the determination to be first class workwomen, and soon they will share the pay as well as the work of men. And believe roe, our girl will be no less fitted to be a uvKut, loving wife and mother, If she sees fit to marry and she will not be driven fcto a thoughtkas marriage to escape the drudgery earning the pittanre which will not support her, nor of making a sacrifice, which is generally considered to bo even more disgraceful than that Think of this, you who bemoan the thousands Of unhappy marriage* and tho frtHjucurr of div*»rcv. Atwl if aho is left, as so many women are left, wuh children depending on bi*r for support, she is in no wors* condition than tho widower who is left with them to care for. Think of this, vou who may bo widow*.

I will say here that men have objected to this kif«, saving that if women are self supporting they will not caret© marry. Surely, 1 reply, if a «wm depend* upon his money aKxio to attract and keep, the time has arriml nbrn wocaan shookl compel him to walk* himself worthy of her Usve and her pOSWmtoO,

There are many bright Instance* where women have met a»d ttwkrttood this condition of affair*, and ha*e«o«s to worktike met ami themselves* valuable.

Virginia, was sent north for a year or two of ''finishing" at a school. When she returned, she cooki play on the guitar and sing ballads very sweetly could pares in "Paradise Lost," bound the chief coontriasof Europe and name the planets, and she was as expert in wax and filagree work. 8be married after three years, and her knowledge of domestic affairs was such that she at once took charge of a large household ot white and black servants, whom she governed with skill and tact

The establishment was almost complete within itself. Weaving, spinning, tailoring, the making np of every kind of garment, the coring of meat, dairy work, the preservation of every kind of food were carried on undo* her eye.

Within the last few years the most thoughtful women are turning back to them again. They insist that the tmining of their daughters shall make them familiar with tho sick room as well as the laboratory, apd teach them to use kitchen utensils at least as skillfully as tho brush and palette.

In the public schools of some of oar largest cities sewing and cooking are taught to tho girls, and in several of the higher class of private schools courses in nursing are given.

The Companion would not deter any young girl from taking tho highest course opon to her in classical, scientific or artistic education she may some time find use for such knowledge.

But every woman some time in her lifo requires a knowledge of homekeeping and the caro of tho sick. While sho seeks tho kind of education open to both her and her brother, let her not despise that necessary to her as a woman only.—Youth's Companion.

Superstition* Concerning Babies.

Among Vosges peasants childreu born at new moon have their tongues better hung than others, while those born at the lift quarter have less tonguo, but reason better. A daughter born during the waxen moon is always precocious.

A pair of tongs or knife put in the cradle will satisfy the Welsh mother as to her child's safety. The knife is also used in parts of England. small bit of red ribbon is all the Roumanian infant requires to secure it from harm, whilo tho Esthonian mother attaches a bit of asafetida to the child's neck. Garlic, salt, bread and stoak are first put in tho cradlo of anew born child in Holland. A sufficient preventivo for an Irish babe is a belt made of women's hair.

In lower Brittany on the birth of a child neighboring women at once toko it iu charge, wash it, crack its joints and rub its head with oil "to solder the cranium bones." It is then wrapped up in a tight bundle and its lips moistened with brandy "to make it a full Breton," says Tho Manchester Union.

She was an expert nurse, and capable of prescribing for her children and slaves in simple ailments. Without "culture," as it is known now, her manners were fine, stately, yet gracious. They were thoee natural to a woman of kindly feeling who has long had the habit of authority.

Her granddaughter, another Esther, born fifty years later, came home from college famtiUr with countlcss facts and lines of thought of which tho first Esther never heard. Tho younger woman was skilled in the higher mathematics and in four languages.

But her household, when she married, was left in the care of ill trained, paid servants. She did not know how the food which they spoiled should be cooked. When her child was ill, sho could not spread a plaster or fasten a bandage, but was forced to leave him wholly to the care of a nurse.

Her clothing was bought ready made nothing in her home bore evidenco of her skill, taste or care. With all her cleverness and knowledge, she lacked some ability, some skill, which gave to the older woman a definite place and power in her generation.

In how many families would these true pictures find a place? In the days of our grandmothers education for women was limited. They found an outlet for their intelligence and energy in household affairs. When the chances of education were given to the women of the next generation, they slighted the humble domestic arts as menial and aaintellectuoL

Iu modern Greece the mother, before putting tho child in its cradle, turns threo times around before the fire whilo singing her favorite song to ward away evil spirits.

In Scotland it is also said that to rock the empty cradle will insure the coming of other occupants for it

If you rock the cradle empty, Then you shall have babies plenty. The 8wedisb mother pats a book under the head of tho new born infant that it may be quick at reading, and puts money into ths first bath to guarantee its possession in the future.

Tho Turks load tho child with amulets as toon as it is born, and a small bit of mud well steeped in a jar of hot water, prepared by previous charms, is stuck on its forehead.

In 8pain the child's faco is swept wit a a pine ti:: bough.

English

Wive*.

Divorces in England ore retarded as almost disgraceful, no matter on which sido is the divorce. Of couree here, as elsewhere, the man is more readily forgiven than the woman. Legal separation is toleaated, but divorce is best for the freedom of the woman divorced, who may thus go about without undue social surveillance. Legally separated, she is forced to be nun like in her rigid exclusion from the gay outside world An |Cngii»h spinster, until she be well on in years, bas very little freedom socially.

Tho English wife is freer. Stiil she is

very

submissive to her good lord as a rule. But in society's doings she .is autocrat absolutely. An Englishman may not dreg "Tom, Dick or Harry** home to dinner without an invitation being given by his wife. Failing tbr.t, be takes saeh friend or friends to his clab. Business topics are never cauvascd at English dinnere st home. It is bad form to discuss a mans Umincss occupation. Often the nature of it is unknown to even intimate friends*

An English trom&a counts the towrirr of children as her truest womanly di^ -y. Itanv children are many blessings, from the qt: "ionthe throne to thehoirv49st &^uHBMi\i«rif^s pi nt from tho en being given to the mother of triplets. To ss %"e owi: «"liM

Another says that her inquiries would lead her to pot it at 4 years. Women grow np in corsets and harmonto with their environments. They put on corsets in the morning beta* they do their shoes, and do not think they could oornb their hair without stays. They live in corsets, and would be thoroughly uncomfortable without them. They haven't developed moato get along without support. As yet the corset might be made at least unobtrusive. It used to be the proper thing to wear an ander bodice of shape and thinness to hide or Hiagnim the outline of the contrivance

whalebones and steels. Nowadays nothing of the sort seems to be necessary. The corset is prominent as if paraded outside the gown. The fashinc plate marks its top and bottom distinctly, and as for the woman hersolf. look at the next one yon see on a horse car, ami you can sketch her corset very accurately over the margin of your newspaper. —Exchange.

Can of Children's Feet.

Wise mothers sae that the children have dry feet. Shoes should be loose enough to be comfortable always—half an inch longer than the foot, but not loose enough to slip aronnd. Never let the child wear a shoe that Is run over on the sideor heel, and constantly discourage the habit of standing on the outer edge of the shoe, turning in the toes, or rubbing one foot over another. Have the child taught from the earliest hours of understanding that the moment his feet are wet he must change shoes and stockings. Some children's feet perspire so that woolen stockings keep the feet damp gnd oold 1st them wear cotton hose, and buy the elastic woolen webbing which comes by the yard, and draw it over tho child's limb to the ankle this will protect the limbs, wmch, in snow and slush, should be covered with leggings. If mothers will make it a rule that the child's hoes must be bung up when taken off, and the feet warmed before going to bed, they will save themselves much trouble. Too many mothers tie np a child's throat, a most pernicious habit, and allow the ohild to wear thin shoes or sit with rubbers on for boors.—Herald of Health.

Pleasant tm laks.

"My dear," a fond husband remarked the other day, "I have talked with Dr. Mildew about your case, and so I have brought yon a pair of diamond earrings." **Oh, how lovely I" she exclaimed And then, after a moment ot

eortatln admiration,

she added: "But I dodt see what this has to do with exercise." "Why, in the first place," was the answer, "yiju will go out more and get much more fresh air and, in the second, you will continually bo putting up your hands to assure yourealf that tho diamonds are not lost, and in that way"

She interrupted him with some saucy remark, but his impudence was forgiven for the sake of his gift.—Boston Courier.

Wlllinc: to Trade.

A bright 4-yoar-old Lawrence boy had enjoyed the undivided affections of father and mother. A few days ago a baby sister came into the household, and tho attention which it received inspired the brother with an idea that he was being sadly neglected. One day as both parents were admiring the new coiner the boy suddenly burst out into the exclamation: "Nobody cares anything for me now," and putting on his cap he ran out of the house. Just then a neighbor came along with a small dog and, accosting the youngster, jokingly asked him if ho would not like to exchange the baby for the dog. Instead of the anticipated indignant scorning of tho proposition the little fellow with brightening face responded quickly: "Yes, and I've got 81 that I'll give to boots'—Lawrence American.

He Excused Her.

Every one who has been touched and amused by "Little Lord FauutleroyV' courtesy in teaching his grandfather baseball will bo Interested in Mrs. Burnett's assertion that her littlo son furnished the material for the scene. She says: "One day tho original thought it necessary to instruct mo in the great national game. After a great deal of explaining I was obliged to admit that I was rather stupid. 'Oh, no, you're not, dearest,' protested the little boy, •you're not at all stupid but I'm afraid I'm not a good 'splainer and then, as you're a lady, of course baseball is not very easy to yon.'"—Chicago Journal.

Feed Onions to the Children.

A prominent physician was seen buying a barrel of onions, and, being guyed about his purchase, said: "I always have boiled onions for dinner for the benefit of my children. I like onions, too. Thoy are the best medicine I know of for preventing colds. Feed onions, raw, boiled or baked, to tho children three or four times a week, and they'll grow up healthy and strong. No worms, no scarlatina, no diphtheria where children cat plentifully of onions everyday." Another distinguished physician confirmed the foregoing statement, adding: "I couldn't givo better advice, no matter how hard I might try."— Buffalo Express.

Women Doctors.

It is estimated that there are 2,500 women in the United States who hold diplomas from medical colleges, either American or foreign. Dr. Elizabeth Blnckwell, who graduated in 1848, is said to bo the first woman doctor. Tho first one in Sv. oden is Karoline WiderStrom, who has recently been engaged by the Thule Life Insurance company to examine women who wish to insu:v iheir lives. Tho physician of the Milwaukee County hospital is Dr. Anna McConnel!.—Detroit Free Press.

Tnrtlan in Jewell Directolrc and Ftnt Bmplre Jewell —Tha Popular Chatelaine—Wearing Styles In Finger fUnga.

The New Opera Glass Holder.

Many innovations and revivals mark the jewelry worn by the fashionable world at the present time. Directoire and first empire costumes, reintroduced after lonz years of disuse, have, says The Jeweler's Circular, established a second renaissance in matters of jewelry. This is especially true in France and England, where a reaction has set in toward beauty and grace in the various adornments of life.

The fancy for silver rings set with gems continues among men, and there are many novel and ingenious devices shown in these •tiia autumn. Two snakes twisted one abovo the other, and with heads meeting on top, furnish a popular design, especially when the eyes of the serpents are represented by small gems. A plain gold or silver band with a gem sunk in the center is another popular ring. A ram's head, the boras of which turn back and meet so as to form a ring, is an old idea revived in these rings. A favorite ring is one in slender gold setting containing a trnai! but fine gem. A ring of gold rope tied in a tiny knot on top and set with a gem is attractive.

Something quite new for tho winter season is the opera glass holder, made to fitany opera glass. This very convenient contrivance is a sort of telescopic handle of pearl, ivory or silver that can be shortened or lengthened at will, and when adjusted to a glass renders the latter as convenient to hold as is a lorgnette.

of the feminine portion of

the community has been replaced by that luxury so dear to every woman's heart. The queens of fashion, led by the Princess of Wales, who gives the keynote to the world of elegance, have shown themselves covered with jewels. We are assured, on authority not to be questioned, that the directoire riviere of many of the

gowns are em

broidered and filled in with gems, and that old fashioned clasp bracelets, adorned and thickly set with stones, have been reinstated, as have the girdles that played such an important part in ladies' dress during the early days of tho directoire period Even the unmarried French girls may now wear diamonds, which have heretofore been restricted to matrons. It is true that fashion demands that the stones bo small, but this is an innovation worth noting, especially as these stones appear not only on tho fingers and about tho necks of young girls, but iu their ear rings.

The popular chatelaine in silver and silver gilt and gold is a revival of first empire jewelry. These chr.telaines are worn both with and without girdles, and are frequently weighted with six or eight articles that swing from tho swivels, such as a watch, card case, scissors, note book, otc. An imported chatelaine seen, in Louis XII style, was made in old silver, and consisted of three chased open work ohains, to which are attached a scent bottle in cut crystal, a note book with heavily chased silver cover and a pencil case.

POPCLAB FINGER IUXOS.

It is safe to soy that finger rings are in greater demand than ever. Both sexes wear them, and both sexes, in large measure, use their own personal taste in the selection of these ornaments. Fashion does not prescribe many limitations in tho matter.

Fancy rings in gold or silver remain as popular as ever. A taking novelty in this clnai of jewelry has been recently introduced under the name of the puzzle ring. This newcomer, when in shape to wear, represents four strands of gold interlaced in loosely braided pattern over the top of tho finger. When off the finger and shaken apart this ring is a veritable pozzle.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Popular Borne MSdt Christmas Glfta. Good Things for the Holidays. The pretty chair and sofa pillows that are seen in such varisty nowadays combine beauty and utility in a most satisfactory manner and furnish a holiday gift acceptable to any man or woman who is not averse to a little luxurious ease. On the subject of mskfng these pillows, Good Housekeeping tells among other things that blue denim or blue jeans is a very artistic covering, combining the many merits of being cheap, durable, artistic and fashionable. It may be made up either on the right or wrong side, and tbe rather intense blue tone is softened very much by repeated washing before using it One of tbe newest of these pillows is oblong, rather than square, a conventional design marked on the under or light colored side of tbe denim and outlined in white cord either couched or buttonhole stitched down. The two narrow ends of the pillow are finished by a long fringe of white cord. To make this you cut the oord into twenty-two inch lengths take two of these lengths and draw them through the denim an eighth of an inch from tho edge twist them tightly and tie a little two inch tassel made of tho cord into the end. Repeat thus along tho end of the pillow at intervals of an inch or an inch and a quarter. Tho fine macreme or hammock cortl is the kind used.

For any one who wishes to avoid the many stitches that even a simple design involves, are tho pretty chintzes and cretonnes, or the more expensive India silks, which come in such exquisite oolorings. These are decorative with no other finish than that of drawing In the four corners and adding a little rosetto of tho chintz or silk. A very good substitute for eider down or feathers in stuffing these pillows is excelsior, an inexpensive substanco to bo found at any upholsterer's.

Daiuty baby pillows are made by covering tho plain bod ticking case with pink or pale blue silesia and then making tho little pillow slips of fino linen fastened at both ends with pearl studs and borders of drawn work or lace insertion abovo the hem

The Christmas Plnm Padding.

Chop and rub to a cream one-half pound of suet Add a scaut half pound of sugar. Mix well. Add three well beaten eggs, one nutmeg grated, one-half teaspoonful of clove, one-half toaspoonful of mace, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth cup of brandy, ono cup of milk nnd one-half pound of flour. Then add one-half pound of raisins, one-half pound of currents and three-eighths of a pound of citron. Steam from flvo to eight hours.

This is a Boston cooking school recipe, in regard to which it is explaiuod that the amount of tho recipe will fill a large mold, that tho suet should be rubbed for along time after removing the skin and strings and tbe raisins should bo chopped. If brandy is omitted more milk must boused, for tho mixture wlum ready for steaming should be much thinner than tho usual suet pudding. Tho longer the pudding is steamed the bottor. This pudding is recommended as kooping for years, but the omission of brandy will, of course, diminish the kecpiug quality. As it can bo prepared beforehand, this is an excellent pudding for Christmas, for it is that much labor saved to the cook on the busy day. Tho sauce for the pudding is made as follows:

Cream two cups butter, add slowly one cup powdered sugar, the unbeaten white of one egg, two tablespoonfuls wino and ene of brandy, and one-fourth cup boiling water. Heat until smooth and creamy. Heat the bowl for tho creamed butter, and when adding tho wine and brandy do so slowly in order to prevent curdling.

A Good Fruit Cake.

Good fruit cakc, liko fino wine, grows better with age tho cako concocted before Christmas, so far from deteriorating, will become richer and more melting as it and tho holiday season together draw to a close. A fine cako may bo mado with tho following ingredients: One pound of sifted flour, one pound of butter, ouo of powdered white sugar, twelve eggs, one and a half pounds of raisins, ono nnd a half of currants, one tablespoonful of ciunamou, ono tablespoonful of mace, two nutmegs, one pound of citron, ono glass of wine, half a glass of brandy and half a glass of rosowater mixed together. Pick the currants clean, wash tbom and drain them through a colander wipo them in a towel, spread them out and set them to dry by the fire. Stone the raisins and cut them iu halves. Sprinkle both currants and raisins with the flour to prevent them from settling to tho bottom of the cake. Cut tbe citron into thin slices and put it into the liquor. Put tho butter into the sugar, warm it and stir it to a cream. Beat tbe eggs as light as possible, add thorn to the batter and sugar alternately with the flour. Add the remaining ingredients gradually stir all as hard as possible for ton minutes. Bake in a pan lined with wbito paper, well battered, for three hours Or more.

tho sachet shown in tbe
