IMPORTANCE OF SYMPATHY BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

•boat the Hamas Hair Market—Uttl* Stories Abont Womon—Fenula Preserlptiou Writer*—Chat* with Che BOOMkeeper and the Cooilc.

Giving our children »ymp»tby is a subject that should carefully engaga oar attention too often we give them everything else bat our sympathy. A mother can scarcely realize the importance of bringing her views down to the level of bo* children. Many a young girl whose mother bos. from earliest childhood expressed a sympathy for all her childish troubles, has found this the strength and protection againHt the temptations of ber young womanhood for such a girl will go to her mother with every thought, knowing she will find a willing ear and tender, loving heart, ready to feel for and advise ber. Never any danger for a girl who mattes a confidant of ber mother, and the same may be said of a boy who has bis father for his boon companion. How beautiful it is to see a father and son on terms of perfect congeniality the father knows best the quicksands and pitfalls into which bis boy's feet may stray and fall—who so aLle as him to warn and guard that boy—but can bo io it if the boy has feared and deceived him from earliest childhood, if the child makes false utep ho is punished and looked upon jo Idly as if be had committed some unpardonable sin never encouraged to confess a Vault and make a confidant of his parent. Many a boy has gone to ruin for want of sympathy from his parents and many a girl has broken her mother's heart from the same cause. Bympathy and the encouragement to gain our children's confidence must begin in early childhood. Let a mother impatiently push off a litttle toddler who comes to bring a little hand to be kissed, with, "Oh, don't tmther me now, I am busy," or repulse a boy that comes to have the tail of a kite fixed with, "Go to some one else." How long do you suppose it would take to wean off these little ones, yet we see this every day of our lives, and then when our children grow from around oar knees and take their confidences to others we wonder why. Some may say you never had a half dozen at a time around you all wanting something I grant that such a mother is to be pitied, but she has still greater need for the exercise of that great virtue, patience. 1 havo always had a peculiarly tender place In my heart for little children. I never saw a child's feelings hurt or a blow given one, that it did not cause me a sensation of as real pain and suffering as if the blow had descended on myself. 1 was walking alono in comparatively quiet street in New York not long ago, and as I was about to cross the street I saw a wagon coming and stopped a moment as I did so, I was attracted by a group crossing from the opposite side, a large flue looking woman with a baby in her arms and a little "8-year-old toddler by the hand tnd quite au elderly lady. As they were nearly across the mother looked up and saw the wagon with the most impatient gesture as if the child was in any way to blame, she gavo it a jork, lauded it on tho pavement and then did the most unaccountable thing imaginable, gave it a hard slap. I never shall forget tho reproachful look the old grandmother gave her, or tho pitiful expression of the child's tearful face, as it gave a dodge from her as if expecting another blow, and went around to the side of the old lady aud put its little hand up so confidingly into hers with the look of perfect trust, knowing she would be its friend. I wondered why God gave •uch creatures children. She only did what many another impatient woman does, struck ber child for no fault of its own. Bhe was startled when saw tho wagon so near, and because the child did not walk as fast as she could she felt it was to blame for her fright, when it was her own carelessness. If all the useless and unnecessary blows poor little children got were recorded where we could seo them we would be astonished. Parents get fretted and impatient with their children because they do not see and understand things ss they do, forgetting their age and experience.—Atlanta Constitution.

'l*rofits on Human Hair.

The human hair market presents a rather thrilling spectacle upon market days, when hair dressers flock from far and neat* and wander up and down the streets with large •hining shears in their bands, attached to their waists by a great leather band and bridle, writes a correspondent. The young girls who wish to dispose of their tresms oomo out and offer themselves liko lambs at the sagrifloe, and, kneeling before tho formidably shearers, havo their long braids backed off withPOtw^ fell snip of the great •ctaora, le largest toppty of hair comes from Santscrland and Germany, and especially from tho French province*. The country (Oirs are attended by agents of merchants in Loudon, Paris and Vienna. Only at intervals, however, is a prise like perfect suit of golden hair obtained, and there are orders khead in tho shops of Paris and London for all the golden hair that can be obtained in the next five years. When a stock of hair is uolloctcd by traveling agents it is assorted, washed and cleaned. Then each hair is Ira mi through the eye of a needle and polstock it reedy for tho mar1 to make tbe first

Lonkiuz with Children'* Kjcs. One day not long since as my little 2-ycar-old son was beside me at the window, I tried to point out to him an object at distance. He did not seem to see it, and stooping to bring my eyes to a level with his, I found tbe object to be out of tbe range of his vision. I lifted him to my shoulder and soon the little hands clapped their sweet accompaniment to the joyful 'Dere, dere!'

It set me to thinking more deeply than ever upon tho necessity of bringing our views, our language, even our manual ability, down to the level of our children.

Some one has suggested that when we lose patience with a child for inability to perform some fa»«ir, we should try the same thing with our left hand. But I think thisof treble importance when applied to the child's mental and moral capabilities.

Sisters, if we could lift the little heads to our thinking level as easily as we can bring the dear little faces so close to our own, there would be no difficulty but since this is impossible, and I may say undesirable, let us stoop and look at things from their point of view.

Every true mother does this more or less, instinctively, but even the most tactful mother is apt to grow impatient sometimes because the child does not comprehend so readily as she expects. While I have known women who seemed to be almost devoid of this ability to look with a child's eyes and I have often longed to cry out to her to kneel beside her baby and see how very contracted was its horizon.

Mothers, you give your children well kept homes, clothes, plenty of good food and abundance of love. Do give them sympathy. Sympathy in their joys, in their troubles and in their eager efforts to unravel the thousand

and

one mysteries with which even their little world is teeming.—New York Home Journal.

Figures of the German.

The florist Voi llant-Roseau has originated beautiful garlands of flowers, about one meter long, clustering rather at one end and tapering at the other, with bows of ribbons at each extremity and safety pins for fastening. These garlands take the place of the usual bouquets. They are brought in on flat gilt baskets, with poles iu the center—something like short May poles to these are fixed the small end of the floral string. A favored belle is well decorated with the perfumed cordons before the end of the. dance, and they suit exactly the light tulle plain dress jupes.

Another figure is a tin box, made to look liko a milliner's hat box the leader of the german touches a spring, the sides fall down and a small fountain sends up its crystal water to a moderate height. The leader then a silver goblet and carries to his chosen dancer a few drops of the sparkling beverage. It would be considered bad taste to give either champagne or wine. Atomizers aro also bestowed, more or less luxurious in taste and full of perfume. If the spray is daintily aud gracefully given, the resulting fragrant atmosphere is delightful. Tho tambourines given to the leaders now aro always painted by the host or hostess, and are really works of art in the substantial materials used, for they are considered to be a sort of bibelot ven in exchango for arduous labor.—-Porta otter.

Woman and Her Umbrella sss Only one woman in ten knows bow to carry an umbrella, and she rarely carries her knowledge into practioe. Every rain storm proves this. Among men there is a tacit understanding that the umbrella shall be •tilted in passing, so that neither of the pedestrians need be wholly uncovered for even a short time. The tilting is, of course, away from the other pedestrian, and is a considerate and courteous act which both sexes could easily perform. But the women ha vent time for anything of this kind. Their eyes are fixed on some distant point, and they strike out in that direction like pedestrians in a go-as-you-please race. Not infrequently they lower their heads and charge upon an individual or a group with results which are often dangerous. If by any chance they collido with'persons moving in the other direction, they glare at the new comers in a manner which would have made Lady Maelotil's worst scowl seem an angelic smile by contrast They are equally polite in this matter to members of their own sex, and rnrrM laughing collisions often occur, for even they will admit that they havo less patience with women than with thoee bated creatures, the men.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

To Preserve Flower*.

There is much discussion at present as to bow flowers can be best preserved to send to Car away people. When it is desirable to floral souvenir* there Is much chagrin that the perfumed beauties arrive in a mashed, dilapidated and discolored condition at their objective point This can easily bo notified by a little care and attention. The best way Is to pack the Bowers in ice. That ita suro preservative, especially if a liUle tall is sprinkled over the crystalline surface. Anrttw mode in which Sowers are sent in complete preservation, even (and it is frequently douet to Europe, is to pock them ckeely iu tiu cans, covering the stem with cottou. Over all a layer of wot cotton placed. At the end of tbe osa voyage Urn

nr«rt

Sowars will be found fresh and

fragrant as at the beginning. To keep flowers brightly from day to day—that is. cut flowers —it is only nor wary to sprinkle with water, place the Asms deeply in moisture, and, If Decenary, pat a light layer of cotton over them. Flower# can be made to last a kng time if care watched, but they require the tare of an experienced lover of blooms.—St. Louis Okbe-IXw rat

Mis* Xartowe's Watciifal Aunt A member of Miss Julia Marlowe's company soys that tbe pretty little actress is probably the most remarkable art creation on tbe American stage. Everything that she does, even to the most casual gesture, has been drilled into ber by ber aunt, a sagacious and indefatigable woman. Having but little natural talout. Miss Marlowe has wisely suffered herself to become a mere automaton to har ambitious aunt, and her diligent obedience to hyti*uctions has resulted in the polished performance now given by the new favorite. It is the custom of this aunt to stand constantly at one of the stage entrances and watch her protege, signaling to her what or what not to da It is said that one nigbt Miss Marlowe during a performance forgot beraelf and casually raised one hand to her bead to brush back a falling curL Thei-eupou her auut, standing in the entrance, beat her lists together in an agony of disgust and cried out loud enough almost for the audience to hear: "Take down that hand— take down that band, I say 1" And Miss Julia took down her hand as promptly as ever she could.—Chicago Herald.

Wasted Sympathy.

Ttcro is an awful lot of wasted sympathy in this world. We don't want to sympathise with everybody, but there are some people we want to sympathize with so badly that we will go so far as to invent troubles for them to be able to do it When a girl loves fondly she can't stand her sweetheart being always happy. She wants to be a good angel to him, and he's got to pretend to be miserable sometimes just to let her feel that she is a comfort to hm That's why when he tells her he's very tired and wants to go home to bed she hiiii in ha- arms as if he were in the deepest trouble and says: "Poor darling, poor darling 1" And she tells her chum about poor George, who was so tired the night before that ho couldn't possibly sit up, and "my heart just bled for him." A woman would rather feed the man she loves with jelly when he is sick than eat frogs with him when he's well.—San Francisco Chronicle.

To Be Conversationists.

Conversation must embrace mutual intelligence "a good listener makes a good talker." Again, much avails in knowing what to avoid saying, and also deliver us from the vanity of the parlor lecturer, or from those who talk simply for effect. It is the duty of every amiable, educated and witty wouiati to be agreeable to alL Tho beneficial iufluence which they exert is, in conscqucncc. incalculable. By beginning at home, by exercising your heart and your manners in your own household you will soon find to your children and friends, that even in your "table talks" you will have done much to qualify yourself and your listeners for that conversation which, as ^nanlng familiar discourse and interchange of sentiments, must itself be entirely qualified by the life, the intellect, the culture of the one maintaining it.—Kansas City Journal

Women Doctors. &

There aro now some 9,000 women doctors in the United States, about one to each thirtythree of tho masculine variety. Some of them have incomes exceeding $90,000 and very few fall below 1,000. They grow and thrive best in New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. After that comes the far west In the south they have never got a footing, and outside of Maryland and Virginia there is not one in the length and breadth of Dixieland. Only 8 per cent of graduates forswear for matrimony, and of those who do one-third marry .other doctors.

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?

STYLES IN DRESS INTRODUCED FOR SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER.

French Fichns, Dress Fronts, Embroidered Jabots and Other Tasteful Accessories for Draping the Bodices of House Dresses.

Low Fichus on Low Waists.

Fichus, jabots and lace dress fronts are all much used for draping the bodices of house dresses. These tasteful accessories of lace, muslin, embroidery and crape add much to the appearance of otherwise plain dresses, and are consequently quite popular.

The Marie Antoinette fichu, made of silk muslin, mull, lace or crape, and modeled after the neckkerchief worn by the queen, from which it takes its name, is one of the many forms of fichu now seen. Other patterns are high across the shoulders and tie low in front with ends hanging below the waist Then titers are low fichus or fronts for draping dress waists they are low in the neck.

A HOVKL. DRESS FRONT.

In tbe cut is illustrated a Paris dress front of quite novel construction. This model combines a high collar, yoke or guimpe, epaulettes and a plaited stomacher. The materials used in making it are Breton lace or embroidered lisse, spotted or spangled net, with trimmings of bright colored ribbon bows. Very pretty jabots are made of lace or embroidered crape. Black Chantilly or point d'esprit fichus are much worn with black dresses.

Gloves for All Occasion#.

Gloves for morning walks and general wear are of dressed kid, corded on the back, not widely embroidered, and fastened smoothly on the wrists by four large gilt buttons they are either tan colored, gray or black. For afternoon visits and receptions suede mousquetaire gloves are worn in eight button lengths, quite plain on the back, and these also are in tan and gray shades. Dress gloves are very similar to suede mousquetaires, but are of twelve to thirty button lengths, reaching up to the sleeves of tbe evening gown, and may be tan colored, gray, white or black. All dress gloves are quite plain on the back.

The sac gloves, loose wristed without buttons, draw off and on easily, and are choeen quite large for the country, for traveling and for steamer use: they come in suede, in glace kid and in heavy doeskin tan, chamois color, gray and black sac gloves are for general use, and white sac gloves are especially liked with yachting gowns. Riding and driving gloves of heavy kid are now made short like men's gloves to fasten with only one large button, and are also worn longer with four buttons at the wrists. There aro also tilburied driving gloves, heavy doeskin faced inside the hand with kid to prevent the reins from slipping.—Harper's Bazar.. ./--''i "*'Ss 'if

Latest Novelties In Fans.

Rummaging among past relics of finery, some of our readers may perhaps remember to have come across around fan 'which would fold up into small compass, and, when extended, partook of the nature of a hand screen. Recognizing tho appropriateness of this design to tbe empire style of dress, the ingenious designer has adapted it to the taste of tho present day. In the new fan the sticks are formed of curved pieces of tortoise shell, which by their extreme flexibility become concave or convex as they are waved to and fro, and thus produce a much better current of air than if they were rigid. The bordering of this circular fan is ornamented with ostrich feathers, and a bow of a harmonizing shade of ribbon adorns the canter.

A second fan has a foundation of semitransparent gauze down each radiant, to which is sewn a narrow row of lace. The Idee, being only attached by the inner edge, f»Hg lightly from side to side, and as it does so reveals garlands of roees and other flowers which are painted on the gauze beneath. Another fan is trimmed with loops of beads upon lace or gauze, which also produce a pretty effect Each of these fans may be had in black, white and several colors.,

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Dr. C. V. Riley Tells flow to Destroy the Buffalo Moth at House Cleaning. One of the greatest insect pests of the household, and the despair of good housekeepers, is the so called buffalo moth, which first began to excite complaints in this country in 1874, being found about that time and soon afterward at various points in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Since then it has extended as far west as Illinois and south to Washington. Remedies commonly recommended for this insect are not only bewildering in number, but many of them utterly inefficient therefore the following advice given in Good Housekeeping by such high authority as Dr. C. V. Riley, government entomologist, is of the greatest value and interest to perplexed housewives. Dr. Riley says:

Where carpets are used, and only taken up once a year at "house cleaning," the conditions are very favorable for the insect's increase, particularly where the house cleaning is hurriedly and carelessly done. Wh^n a house has once become infested nothing but the most energetic measures will completely rid it of tbe pest, and in complete riddance is the only hope, as in a year a very few individuals will so increase as to do groat damage. At house cleaning time, then, as many rooms should be bared at once as possible, and the housekeeper should go carefully over the rooms, removing all dust, and with a hand atomizer charged with benzine should pufT the liquid into all the floor cracks and under the base boards until every crevioe has been reached.

The carpets themselves, after thorough beating, should ,be lightly sprayed with the same substance,^ which will quickly evaporate, leaving no odor after a short tima The inflammability of benzine should be remembered, however, and no light should lie brought near it This done, before relaying the carpets it will be well to pour into^the cracks a moderately thick mixture of plas tor of Paris and water, which soon sets and fills them with a solid substance into which the insects will not enter. Then lay around the borders of the room a width of tarred roofing paper and afterward 'ay tbe carpets. This thorough treatment shoidd answer in the very worst cases, and in a house so cleaned tbe insect will probably not regain a foothold during the ensuing year. Cloth covered furniture which may have also become infested should be steamed or also treated with benzine, and chests or drawers in which infested clothing has been stored should be thoroughly sprayed.

Another method of treatment, and one which I bave frequently recommended, was indicated by me in a former communication to Good Housekeeping in rendering my decision in the competition for best remedies for household pests. It can be used to advantage whenever the work of tbe larva is noticed or suspected. It consists in laying a damp cloth (an old towel or a folded sheet will do) smoothly over the suspected part of the carpet and ironing it with a hot iron. The steam thus generated will pass through the carpet and kill all tho insects immediately beneath. If not too laborious, an entire room could be treated to advantage in this way.

A Convenient Piece of Furniture. An odd but useful bit of furniture, which comes within tho range of the home work shop, is the new work table shown in the cut

A NEW WORK TABLK.

Tho top is covored with plush and decorated with au embroidered wreath and tassel fringe. A novel feature is the introduction, on ono side which is scooped out in approve^ work table style, of a bag pockct in antique embroidery, lined with satin, in keeping witb the side bow. Tbe legs of the table are also plush covered, and encircled with ribbon and Tbe wicker waste basket is decorated in keeping.

Baking with a Gasoline Store. In regard to the complaint, not unfrequently heard, that the oven of a gasoline stove does not bake well, a trade journal is authority for the statement that the trouble is quite likely to be tbe fault of the operator. Bread, meat or pastry Is put in as soon as tbe burner is lighted, without waiting until the oven is thoroughly warm. It is impossible to obtain good results after this fashion, ft does not take nearly as long to beat a gasoline oven as it does that of a wood or coal stove, but it is no less important, that it should be well heated.

To Prevent Salt from Packing. The tendency of table salt to pack together in cruets and containers is said to be entirely overcome by thoroughly drying tbe salt and intimately mingling with it a small percentage of dry corn starch or arrowroot From 8 to 10 per cent is amply sufficient for the most humid atmosphere (as on tbe osa coast), while a much less percentage of the rtarch is sufficient for inland points.
