WOMAN AND HOME.

THE COMPENSATION THAT COMES TO THE WIFE AND MOTHER,

How to Tame and Train a Canary lilrA. Valuable Thought* on the Care of Chfl» dren—Physical Culture for Ladle*—•The

Kobl« Deed* of Some of JEartb'e AncoU.

"My boys and I bare been shut ap together for six weeks," said a little woman the other day, bar bright face dimpling with sonny smiles, showing bow sweet and fresh is the quality of youth fulness' which makes the matron as captivating in her meridian a* the girl most bave been in tier morning. "Quarantined,n she added "and we've had a siege of it: but the day lads were never really ill, notwithstanding-lthe dreadful character of the disease which bad them in itB clutches. Of course we were terribly anxious, and the doctor kept warning us that we could ntA be too careful and 1 had such a horror of any infection wafting itself from our doors into the home of somebody else where there were children that 1 could not sufficiently multiply precautions but when all was said, and all the privations and disappointments borne, there were compensations. The bovs and I grew so well acquainted 1 Wo read several splendid books through, from first chapter to finis we studied the New Testament we played games. They told me everything, just us when they were my babies toddling over the floor and coming to mamma with their questions and their troubles and now that it is over I shall always look back with a certain gratitude and pleasure of memory on our six weeks in quarantine."

Mothers whose boys and girls are full of the excitements and ambitions of student life, or whose brood is just poising tor flight from the homo nest, will understand this woman's feeling perfectly.

A similar experience has been the portion of many of us, varied perhaps by certain conditions. The dear husband, it may be, has been very ill, so that for some days life, seeming gray faced and unfamiliar, has on anew and stern aspect what with the secession from tfco ordinary routine, meals altered to suit th convenience of those In attendance on the invalid, the world of fashion and of recreation temporarily excluded, the daughter's practicing hushed, the Tittle ones diverted in a far away nursery that papa should not be disturbed, kindred coming with anxious faces and soft foot falls to make daily inquiry, flowers and dainty food left at the door by friendly neighbors, the pastor dropping in an often as the physician, the door bell muffled while to all hearts in the household there has been vaguely threatening the menace of an unspeakable sorrow.

What if the happy, easy going, merry voiced man, spending his life between business and homo, the morning and evening regularly calling him to one or the other point with tho steady jogging1 back and forth of tho pendulum, should bo about to leave it all, to lay down tho caros and forgot tho activities, and sleep the last sleep! The wife, who has accepted much of his devotion as a matter of course, her right liko that of the flower to sunshine and rain, suddenly in a glimpse of rovelation perceives how much •he loves him, appreciates his generous love for her and when, later, tho tido turns, and tho patient is convalescent, tho first blessed helpless querulous stago over, and the "season of calm weathor," when health is coming back like tho tido at flood, fairly inaugurated, what delight, what ecstasy, wtiat renewal of the wooing and the winning days of long ago

I

"Papa and mamma," the children say, smiling as they pass the door and hoar tho voices of the married lovers in endless confidential chat, "are really more devoted than ever." For tho first time in years tho pair have on opportunity to bo much together in that solitude of two which is tho sweetest thing in the whole world, and itself an Eden returned, -when the two, heart, soul and human interests, are absolutely ono.

Itoarer to God we climb by such a ladder as this, and heavon sheds its light of jasper and amethyst over earth's prosaic days. There is a kernel of compensation within the husk of tuch suffering, common though it be, and tho homo values rise higher, the homo unities are bettor conserved, tho home attitude of defense against outside temptations is more resolutely maintained in consequence,

A child's school course is interrupted just when parents and teachers aro most jubilant over tho rich mental development which is so rapid and so promising. The eyes, the back, the quick growth, some danger signal flung out by nature in pallor or fatigue, sleep walking or forgotfulnees, pain or nervous waste, alarm tho family doctor, and he calls a halt. Father and mother are reluctant to admit that tho studies and school disciplino are too much for the son or daughter of whom they aro so proud but they aro people of common tense, and too much is at stake to make risk possible. The boy leaves the desk and takes up the hoe and rake the girl goes from the piano to the seaside a journey is planned, and a thousand influences hitherto out at range are brought to bear upon tho culture of the youthful mind. The time, far from being lost, is put to good account. The law of compensation holds everywhere, never more firmly than in the life of the household. —Harper's Baxar.

Training and Taming Canary Birds. I have tamed several birds. I left England one year ago, and before 1 came hvi a bird that wjui so wild, it was terrible to go near the oage. This Is what I did: I hung the cage up against the wall in my bedroom, more from fear of tbe cat than anything, and at night when it got dusk I threw over the cage alight covering When I want to bed and the gas was bunting bright it roused the bird, and she generally gave a twit, twit, asking if I was them I took the covering off, placed bar on my table and used to sit by bor talking baby nonsense, til! at last she came to tbe side where 1 was sitting, flutter her wing* and open her beak, which I took for a kistaad "good night* I always pot her up and oovorsd her sometimes she would twit and worry in her cage after I was In bed, upoa whtoh 1 always called out, "Go to deep, birdie," and she was generally quiet.

During day I shut myself in my roan and opened the cage door it was not kmg foroshe came out and woaki pick op mtf threads and carry them too tbe sage. Sixne I came to Anaerio* I bought her a large cage, soch as they pat mooting birds in, and gave her plenty v-* (when I placed tbe cid case on tike b» rrfn^l to go iato iU. Never bans ilnad: I always placed ber cageont dining ro table at one end and tiwre I *4*11, with door always opan, aulas I opened the tew and closed It for a ooisent, whan «h» hopped about the oag* fwy.

m«m hopping into my room and would twit till she roused me, then she hopped tomy son's and performed the same kindness to him.

At last she would follow me into tbe kitchen and be very enraged if I drove her back to the sitting room. She always came to me if I ™»lWi her and would fetch bread from any point, and if I pretended to take it from her, would flgbt like a little fury she^ would do the same for my son. We placed little reins cm her and she would hop round the table, and just as 1 had taught ber some little tricks she suddenly died from cramp, by some one, thinking she had not water enough to bathe in, pouring some water which had been iced and, taking cold, h«rf killed ber. I have not had another. Why, in a lady living in Sussex has a large cage full out of doors, and all her canaries live in the trees, and at feeding time they all come down and she is covered by a yellow cloud as they perch on her in every spot they can find to rest upon.—Savannah (Ga.) Lady in Good Housekeeping.

Dramatic Education.

•Too would be surprised," said a fnena, "at tbe number of society women who study dramatic art under the best teachers without tbe slightest intention of ever going on the stage. They do it as the readiest means of acquiring charm of manners and 'a good presence." The Delsarte system of training, rightly taken, is the finest way of acquiring flexibility of figure, grace of movement and facial control. I have often wished in observing the gauche motions and tricks of munnur in even educated women that they could for a few months have the training a good actress receives. One sees these tricks of face conspicuous in country people coming to the centennial, and plenty who are not from the country either. The women smile, and they wrinkle up their eyes, their noses, and show their gums and teeth like enraged poodles.

A good dramatic teacher would attack theee faults at once, and keep criticising them till the pupil was cured. Delsarte's "decomposing exercises"—attractive name! —are really the finest things for acquiring grace and control of the figure. They are, you know, a series of relaxing movements by handing each joint separately from the finger tips to the hips, differing from calisthenics in being less formal and fatiguing. Delsarte had the fault of a Frenchman in the passion for formulating theories which afflicts that nation. Formulas seldom do justice to an art, and his rules sound absurd, while their practice is quite another thing. A woman desiring the completest physical and emotional training should put herself under an enthusiastic pupil of Delsarte.— St. Louis Republic. J|

Sleeping Booms for Children. Possibly the attention of very few mothers has been directed to the importance of the position of their children's beds. With certain orderly, careful mothers a small alcove adjoining their sleeping room is generally considered suitable, leaving the main room so much freer for other uses. But to what fate are we consigning our child when we exile him to tho olcovo? Here lurks all tho stale, vitiated or we might say dead air, undisturbed by the freer currents of the main room. The child breathing this air night after night experiences a loss of vitality, a tendency to colds and a languid, depressed condition in the morning, quite different from the refreshed awakening in pure air.

It has been demonstrated that the beds nearest the walls in the hospitals have tho highest rate of mortality, they being subject to influences of polluted air similar to tho alcove of the bedroom. The existonoe of bad ventilation around the corners and sides of rooms lias been so well demonstrated that it has already given rise to the building of rotunda hospitals, whore the current of air along the floors rises as it reaches the wall, effectually ventilating the whola The first suggestion of this idea came from tho dropping of a small piece of paper near the center of a rotunda, where it skimmed along the floor and rose as it reached the wall. In an ordinary room a similar experiment with a piece of thistle down will indicate the usual direction of the air currents.—Babyhood.

Worth Remembering. ./-a"

The following incident was related by a family physician: Being called upon to visit a sick child, he found the babe in apparently good health, but crying and struggling continually as though suffering extreme pain and anguish. The mother stated that the child was desirous of nursing continually, and in order to quiet it, she bad been obliged to let it nurse as often as the crying parox­

ysm

came on. When that failed to quiet it, paregoric or soothing sirup had been administered. "When did you give the baby a drink of water last!" asked the doctor. "I do&tt remember" replied the mother. "I seldomSet him drink water. Does he needitf" "Need it I" exclaimed the doctor. "Why should he not need it as much as you? The child is suffering from thirst, nothing mora"

He accordingly called for cold water, gave the infant a few spoonfuls, and it immediately ceased fretting and soon went to sleep, enjoying along refreshing slumber, the first for many hours.

All mothers and norsss should remember Infants who nurse may often suffer torment for th© lack of a drink of water. Often a child cries from thirst therefore use common sense, and instead of dosing it with poisonous compounds, give the little sufferer all he wants.—Exchange. _________

Physical Cottar* tor XjtdJes.

"The Society for the Promotion of Physical Culture and Conet Dress" is tbe comprehensive naxno under which about one hundred Chicago women are associated. The name leaves nothing to be desired in tbe way of explanation.When Mrs. Annie Jenness-Milkr lectured hero the society was formod to promulgate her ideas and continue in this vicinity her crusade for dress reform. Meetings are bald on the first Friday of every month during the winter, and In the summer a child of the society, the "Outing olub," keeps the members together. Mrs. Dr. Cary talked about the evils of tight lacing and of kindred objects, illustrating ber remarks by a manikin—perhaps it should be oalled a woman ikin, the told the members whar»U*ir hugs were, and pointed out tbe feet that the heart lies, te ordinary human beings, near the breast

She also located other internal organs very accurately. Tbe need for fresh air was enlaiged upon, and the lecturer inveighed against wmpiessiag the long? wish coneta It was remarked that moet woman are sadly ignorant of phy*iogy in general, and of their own bodies in particular, and the S*eker unpin liasril ber desire tpqpmd knowledge tut nrt -«~~g humanity. —Chicago Herald.

The Tyraaay ef Pmisiilen. A prominent New Tore woman declared 'torn rter that she is ready to organise a society the protection of women fwa the tyrant', .t dnunakwi "Just thin*. I it," abeMD&ime, "in th* great majority of cases we cant have a dress mad* as w* want It for love or money. Th* dreemmetrnr aoornfully tgn sour desires, and makes i$ to suit bsr eeif. '1 want m*k» your gown thai way,* eafcl my dressmaker the other day in answer

to a Msggestion of mine. 'It fa not the style now.' 'But,' I protested, It is the most becoming style for me.' 'No difference,' replied tbe autocrat, 'I know best how it should be mada' Now, if a man were to go to his tailor and order a suit to be made in the continental style, it would be made so, no matter what the tailor privately thought of his easterner's taste. But the dressmaker treats her customer as a child and ignores her wishes entirely. Then, too, a dressmaker will solemnly promise to make a costume for a certain price, and in three cases out of five will calmly charge one third mora. It is high tJma for women to kick against this tyranny, and teach dressmakers to do business in a business like way."—New York Tribune.

Thomas Corwin's Granddaughter. One of the most vigorous, untiring women workers this city has absorbed in many a yoar is Mrs. SsJlie McDonald, the granddaughter of the noted Tom Corwin. She wimB here from Ohio with no money and set to work in various departments of labor. She is an energetic and successful advertising and gets a handsome income from rtm* of business. Occasionally die sells a typewriter or a sewing machine, and is negotiating the sale of rolling stock to anew railroad on commission. She is interested in a new city on the Erie and has become the owner of several lots, and is now erecting a couple of houses on speculation. She makes orange marmalade of a quality superior to the imported article and sells it to the wholesale dealers. She writes each week a fashion article, and owns an interest in a patent for a new toy. She is full of ideas, keen and bright, is always at work, and is considered tbe best collector of money in the advertising businees. Withal, she is remarkably even tempered, and so always pleases her customers.—New York Letter.

The Retort Courteous.

Prompt and effective was the action of a thin, keen eyed woman whom I Baw in the millinery department of a big store. Spinster was written all over her face, and a defiance of age was noticeable in the material and cut of her wardrobe. She informed a saleswomanjher Easter bonnet must be bought then and there. She was too tired of shopping to go a step further. The willing but inconsiderate clerk took down a bonnet of sober character, with the remark: "This, I think, will please you it is very suitable for a middle aged lady." Hie spinster quietly requested her to pttt the bonnet on her own head, which the unsuspecting woman, herself of an uncertain age, promptly did. Then, looking her full in the face, the irate and ancient maiden sweetly said: "It fits you perfectly, perfectly. You were right: it iq just the bonnet for a middle aged person." The saleswoman bit her lip and removed the bonnet in speechless chagrin. She knew her want of tact had cost her a customer. The Blaster bonnet was sought for elsewhere.— New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

Mf'

jf Time to Stop. Several large retail stores in this city have put a stop to the practice of sending home goods to customers for inspection, as they find that such articles are frequently used and then returned with the statement that they do not answer tho purpose. A lady well known in fashionable circles recently ordered from one of the foremost houses two dossen fairy lamps sent to her residence for approval Three days afterwards she gave a dinner party. Among the guests was a member of the firm in question. The fairy lamps were used with pleasant effect on the table, sparkling among the flowers and greens or shining in shady nooks about the dining rpoi Imagine the merchant's surprise the day the dinner to hear that the lamps had all come back to the&toro with a polite note stating that the lady did uot like them. It is a Dositive fact that she had not even the grace to remove the stumps of the burned candles or wash off the grease dripped upon the lamps.—Philadelphia Lettex

Why th* Sohoolma'am Thrasuod frlm. The following is a sample of a Friday afternoon composition which Adam Biglier wrote while a toy at sohooL We may add that Adam Big liar was soundly thrashed for it: "A schoolma'am is a verb, because she denotes action when you throw paper wads at tho girls. Switch is a conjunction, and is \iqpd to connect the verb schoolma'am to the noun boy. This is a compound sentence, of wfeicb boy is the subject and switch the object. First person, plural number, hellish case. A schoolma'am is different from a boy a boy wears pants and a schoolma'am wears her hair all bangod on tho forehead. She puts paint on her face and has some big feller come and take her home. Ma says a schoolma'am never gets to be older than 18 until she gets married. It takes two schoolma'ams all day to cook dinner."—Preston Timea^

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR!

4EW YORK AND PARIS FASHIONS THAT HAVE FOUND FAVOR.

Hew Fichna Which Hav* Been Copied {torn Old Pictures and Christened After Martha Washington, Dolly Madison and

Other Historical Women.

Many of the new fichus are christened with old some being patriotically called after Martha Washington and Dolly Madison others are called Marie Antoinette, while others, copied from old pictures, are flmiH as Joshua Reynolds fichus..

J1CHU TO WEAR OVXB A LOW BODICt In the cut is represented a convenient and at the same time tasteful fichu, designed to wear over a decollete dress. This simple accessory gives to the wearer a high or tow bodice as occasion requires. These simple capes are beooming to most figures, and furnish an attractive drapery for bodices that are not otherwise trimmed. A dressy fichu is shown in the second cut. It is known as ef the Marguerite and is gauged on the shoulder. It is of soft silk match the full front, and may be black or whito, as best suits the dre6s over which it is to be worn. The flowers and coquille are of lace tho high collar is made of

raK

bright colored ottoman ribbon, as are the butterfly bows at the back and the front. Some of the new fichus are doubled squares of mull, net, or mousseline de soie, with the corners of the back rounded, the bias middle edge folded slightly, and the fronts pointed. Tbe entire edgo is then trimmed with a frill of lace.

Evening Toilets.

Many evening gowns now consist only of a front breadth of considerable width, stretching far back under the arm, and of a train. These wide front breadths are generally made either of contrasting material—satin with brocade, or brocade with velvet, or of a fine piece of embroidery. Some in fine lisse, th? ground either cream or light tender green, pink or maize, aro worked in soft silk either with palms or interlacing designs, "which are closer and heavier at tbe foot, and more scattered towards tbe waist. They are sold in lengths of four and an eighth yards, whioh can be, and frequently are, divided, the half being enough. A beautiful design is composed mainly of empire wreaths, graduating upwards, the edge at the foot cut out in scallops and buttonholed.

Crepe do Chine is a favorite material for cimilnr treatraant, save that the patterns ore all different, all elaborate, and well covering. A striped lisse, sold by the yard, and useful for the same purpose, has a brocaded floral design between the stripes and liaM is combined in weaving with fancy grenadine, and has horizontal lines.

JrirV' ______ Fashions In The new black moire sashee hare insertions of brilliant jet let in near the end^ som* being horizontal, and others tapering perpendicularly. Two rows are plaoed orison tally, with the band of sash ribbon between, and sometimes a delicate fringe at the edge. There are charming washing sashes tor children's frocks to be had now, striped, in several colors, deeply fringed, and measuring about two and one-half yards long. ,,

HH Hairnet Petttooats. Oujhal the newest forma af trimming is to embroider tho petticoat in dlk, with open designs, to the depth of a quarter of a yard. Others again have wide frills af laoe at the hem, with thick satin sfcltah embroidery in silk above. Another styl* is to l*t in lace insertion, in triple rows, above a frill of lace, with strips of the flannel showing between.

Frontlets for Otreetetee Oaa*s. Collars and shirt fronts, in striped linen, for wearing with the jacket bodioes and waistcoats, are much affected by soeae women. Other frontlets are of pale colored silk, plaited finely, with a frill edging on* sida. Tbaee are for wearing with the direct aire coats, and so are the pleated cravats er ties, hi delicate colored silk.

Hie work Is very easy to carry out, and If carefully done hae a good effect, liw only tools required are a hammer and a pricker. Soft wood like pina, alder or lime, about half an inch thick, ought to be choeen, and tbe surface can either be stained, enameled, or covered with plush, velvet, cloth, felt at leather. The deeign is first marked on tissue, tracing, or thin note paper, and fixed to the surface of the wood with drawing pins.

Each point, where a nail head is to appear, has to be pricked in the wood, more or less deep according to the size of the nail. The nail is thai inserted in tbe prick hole with the fingers, but not finally fixed with the hammer until all the nails have been plaoed and the paper beneath removed. To prevent the nail spikee from bending, and the nail heads from being injured, a flat piece of wood ought to be interposed between the nail beads and the hammer. The nails are the same as thoee which upholsterers use, and of many shapes, in yellow or white metal, silvered or gilt, in bronse or oxidized blue color and in black. The color of the nails depends on the color of the material which is to be decorated. Much work is done with simply tho ordinary brass headed furniture nail, which is always easily obtainable, and it furnishes very effective ornamentation with small outlay of trouble and expense.

Doing Up Curtains..

A more economical method of doing up curtains than to send them to a laundry is described by a good housekeeper as follows: Dust them thoroughly, and if there aro any breaks or tears in them, mend them before washing. Do not wring them, but pass through a clothes wringer, keeping them straight boil a few minutes, then rinse in clear water. Blue the starch a trifle, but do not make them too stiff then lay sheets on tiie floor and spread the curtains on them, fairing* care to stretch the work straight and true. Pin the edges on tho sheet and let them lie till perfectly dry, and you will be convinced that home laundryingof nice curtains is far preferable to hiring them done up, as they will last longer and look nicer than when pressed by hot irons.

Sardine Sandwiches.

Drain off the oil from a box of sardines, and lay them on soft paper to absorb all the oil poffiible. Pick over with a silver fork, removing the bones, etc., and minoe fine with a silver knife. Mix carefully with tho juice of a small lemon, a teaspoonful of melted butter, and a very little cayenne pepper and salt. Cut off the crust from some good raised bread, and butter th© loaf evenly and thinly before cutting the slice. (Leave the crust on if you choose, or you may cut them in fancy shapes before spreading on the paste.)

The Paraml Lamp Shade.

The lamp shade illustrated in the cut is made in crimped tissue paper in two colors, such as carmino for the first veil and pale yellow for tho top one.

Each veil is attached t* the frame and kept in place by a piece of elastic double paper frilling round the top. Ten sheets of paper are required few tbe inside vefl and twelve for the outside.

Ebony Ptnish fWr Wood.

A fine durable eboidzed finish tar hard or soft wood may be made with fine ooacb black ground in oil, thinned, witti a little H.ianM nil, Japan drvr and terpentine. Give tho work several ooata, rubbing down with fine tand paper and finish with Hie oil and pumice. The only drawback is that It will require along time to dry s* hard ths* it can be ru bbed.

Spring medicine means more now-a-days than It did ten years ago. The winter of 1888-88 has left the nerves att faggti out. The nerves must be strengthened, the blood purified, liver and bowels regulated. Palne's Celery Compound— tit* Spring mmIMm o/te-day—does all this, as nothing else can.
