THE CONTAGION OF MANNERS AND ERRONEOUS IDEAS THEREON.

The Heroism of Little Nellie Barry - Other Courages Acts by the "Weaker" Sex. Well Meant Suggestions to the Sisters.

A Beautiful Epitaph. At a large public meeting tbo other day, several of the speakers urged the value of public Kcbool discipline, pointing oat the advantage of bringing chiklrca of different social circles together in sebodl as in iifo and the permanent gooi rirteing when the child of the professional man., for instance, is beaten in his KtiKiie*. as sometimes happens, by the chilii of tbo day lalxxrer. Ail Kueb allusions invariably brought applause froui a very well eductitod aiid generally well to do audience. But it won otworvabl© that these argumentst all began and ended with boys. Not a word vvfw mid by any speaker about the advantages or disadvantages, if cny, of giving to girls the same discipline, and this omission seemed rather to vitiate the argument As the education and even the employments of the two sexes uro plainly coining nearer together—contrary to what used to be predicted a« the result of advancing civilization—it would seem that tbe problem of education must be lu thi* respect much the samo for both Yet there are undoubtedly many parent* who, while* able to see the advantages of a more public education for boys, draw the lino there, and demand for their growing daughters what Is called "a select school."

My own impression is that this distinction is a mistake, and that whatever arguments apply to public school education for boys must reach girls also. In the first place, girls need, even more thau boys, to learn at school the qualities and merits of those in a different social circle, because if they do not learn it then, they uay never learn it. Men learn It all through their lives, because almost evorv department of business Brings into contact and comparison those trained in very different spheres. Women not engaged in business have much less opportunity for this contact: their homes include but two grades —employers and employed and outside of their honu* it is only sonle roro occasion of church work or charitable work which brings women hi to that easy intercourse with those out of thoir own set which is so familiar to men. If Jane Maria does not learn at school that tlie daughter of the coal beaver or tho washerwoman may be as good a scholar, or even have as good manners as herself, she may never have another opportunity whereas her brother may make tho same discovery in collego or in business. So far, then, tho need of this fret early intercourse would seem even greater in case of the girl.-

The answer to this would be that the risk of contamination in morals and manners will also to greater hi case of the girl Is this so certain) It is useless to deny that in certain large cities populated largely by lately arrived foreigners there may be 'some ground for this tar but It must not bo carried far. It must always be remeraf?erofl that, fortunately for oar civilization,' the raoe and religion most largely represented among these very foreigners happen to maintain a high standard of feminine purity and that, therefore, as to the inofet important essentials, the danger is less than one might suppose. If it bo said that in ease of a girl there should be absolutely no danger at tut, it can only be answered that tto sunlit fecurlty has ever been discovered, since th«i conventual system of education certainly does not effect it.

Even as to manners the most exclusive private school may still leave much to bo desired. The more exclusive it is, the more certain it is tliat some very rough material will be sent there to bo made into shape. I have heard on anxious parent deplore that tho occasional outbreaks of her little girl in the direction of rudeness and slang were generally traced to tho carefully selected children of the city school, and not to the offspring of country blacksmiths and farm laborers .with whom she played at their summon home.—T. W". H. in Harper's Basar.

A Little Heroine.

Into the record of deeds of heroism by those older than she, deserves to be placed the story of little Nellie Barry, of Cambridge, Mass. She was 10 years old, but her heart was stout, as she was the protector of her four brothers, all younger still. Her mother was dead and her father was an habitue of the gin mills. This dreary apology for a family lived in a squalid little house in an out of the way street of old Cambridge.

Fourth of July night in 1885 will long be remembered in Cambridge as a peculiarly noisy and nerve shocking one. There was a particularly large amount of bang and toot around the Barry house. Whether there was any malice lurking there will perhaps never be known. At all events, little Nellie was awakened later in the night by the suffocating smell of smoke. Her instincts of protection were roused. She rushed out of the house in her night dress, and was terrified to see one end of the house, the end where her small brothers were sleeping, cracking and blazing like a huge bonfire.

It did not take the resolute little woman long to decide on her plan of campaign. Her father was away, presumably drunk there were no neighbors at hand. Up stairs she went, through the black smoke, and shortly returned with a chubby boy, the youngest of the brood. Then back for the second.

It was getting hotter now, and the smoke almst choked the heroic little damsel, but her burden was safely deposited near the

other little slumberer. Then she went after the third. The flames sizzled around the bedroom door. The girl's little feet began to blister from the fierce heat of the floor. Big drops of perspiration fell from her face. Yet up through smoke and flame she went again, for there was another life to save. After terrible pain and labor, for the last was the biggest boy of the four, Nelly Barry saved it, and sank down on the cool grass, faint and weary from suffering, but happy that she had done her duty.

Left alone with the infuriated beast, with only an ax for defense, this TnHUn woman coolly waited until the bear came near enough, and letyng the ax fall v^th all her might upon its killed it with that one stroke. The same weapon applied to three of the little orphans effectively prevented their ever realizing their loss, and the other she kindly adopted and carried home with her. Reaching her home, she found her husband, son and others assembled there, anxiously speculating as to what could have been the remit of the encounter they had failed to see ended. Standing before them, with tbe cub in her arms, she scornfully surveyed them from head to foot and exclaimed: "Cowards, you have no Indian blood in your veins!"

A Courageous French GirL.

Some years ago four men, who were employed in common sewer at a place called Noyon, in Prance, upon opening a drain were so affected by the fetid vapors that they were unable to ascend. Tbe lateness of the hour (it was 11 o'clock at night) rendered it difficult to procure assistance, anfl the delay must have proved fatal had not a young girl, a servant in the family, with courage and humanity that would have done honor to the most elevated station, at the hazard of her own life, attempted their deliverance.

Exercise for Women.

"One of the greatest obstacles in the way of prescribing exercise for the ailments of women," said a physician the other day, "is the fact that the constitutions of many women hre so weak that an ordinary amount of muscular exercise tires them out and really does them harm and if I limit them to a simple exercise liko walking, my treatment inspires no confidence. Most people think that no good can be derived from a muscular exercise that does not consist in revolving around a horizontal bar, swinging clubs about the head, bounding over a tennis lawn or propelling a bicycle or tricycle, aiul, many women who try this kind of thing and find it does them harm, give up exorcise in despair and take to medicine for relief. "The fact is that a generation or two of idleness or lock of proper physical culture on the part of their female ancestors lias caused the constitution of a large proportion of the women of this generation to be unfit for physical exertion of any sort but the most moderate kind. The present rage for outdoor sports ou the part of young girls is a welcome assurance that before long the physique of the averago woman will attain something liko itts proper standard. It seems almost impossible, however, to persuade a constitutionally weak woman to take regularly that slight amount of exercise which she can stand without doing hor harm. It seems so trifling that she has no faith in it"—Now York Tribune.

Dividing tlie Work.

Plans are good things when they are mado in the right way and of the right material, and a little system often helps things along wonderfully. Some folks may need plans to spur them on to work, but others need thetu as a check upon their worSlng. She who plans three days' work for every one is apt to reach the evening twilight in a despondent, discouraged frame of mind, not conducive to a courageous beginning of the next day while she who has finished her self allotted task at noon feels brighter and more cheerful all tho rest of the day, and is less liable to a sleepless night and headache the next morning. Many women realise that they are doing too much, but hardly see how they can help themselves. There is a dress, perhaps, to be made next week, in addition to the regular housework.

Now to put off beginning it until Tuesday, may mean vexation and hurry all the rest of tho week, while to try to get it half done Monday may lead to the neglect of other equally important tasks and the languor and aches and pains that come from overwork. How will it work to allot so much of the task for each day until Saturday—the skirt to be cut and the seams sewed up Monday, the basque made Tuesday,the sleeves Wednaaday, and so on, leaving Saturday for the tasks that may bo pushed forward from some other day by sickness, unexpected company gr other things unlocked for, and then doing day's work and no more in that dayf who has thus tried to put some check on her ambition says it worked well with har.r-XcyistQn Journal. i»L

This generous girl, who was only f7 years of age, was, at her own request, let down several times to the poor men by a rope. She was so fortunate as to save two of them pretty easily, but, in tying the third to th^ cord which was let down to her for the purpose, she found her breath failing and was in great danger of suffocation. In this dreadful situation she had the presence of mind to tie herself by tbe hair to the rope, and was thus drawn up almost expiring with the poor man in whose behalf she bad so humanely exerted herself.

The instant she recovered she insisted upon being let down again, but her exertions this time failed of success, for the fourth unfortunate man was drawn up dead. The corporation of tbe town of Noyon, as a small token .of their approbation, presented the heroine with 600 livres and conferred on her the civic crown, with a medal engraved with tbe arms of the town, her name and a narrative of the action. The Duke of Orleans also sent her 500 livres and settled 200 yearly on her for life.—Philadelphia Press.

TEHRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

a subtle sisniiteiace in the refrain, "But I will marry my ain love," that the house felt with an unmistakable thrill. For better than ail tfae wide fame of the great prima donna—one of the few greatest the world has ever known—is the beautiful fulfillment of tbe life of the woman in the peace and sweetness of her married happiness. After one of the most triumphant and resplendent careers of the lyric stage die bias, indeed, married her "ain love," and the wife, the friend, tbe woman, is as great as was the singer with the world at bar feet.

To Annie Louise Cary is given not only the matchless voice, the marvelous power to charm, but tbe charm is enriched and made permanent by the soul that shines through the beautiful eyes, the dignity and nobleness of character which the nation holds in honor, «nH which will ever insure to Annie Louise Cary- Raymond the place of the greatest lyric artist that America ever produced.— Boston Traveller.

Restricting Hindoo Women. The Hindoo women travel as lightly as the men, but the two sexes are never put into the cainA cars. There are closed cars on all of the trains for high caste Hindoo women, and these have windows of blue gla^s in the first «nA second classes, which permit the women to look out, but which prevent the men from »rwbing in These women come to the depot in closed chairs, and as they go to the tram they p»«ll their shawls close about their faces, though their ankles and calves, covered with gold and silver bracelets, often show. In some of the cars the windows of the women's compartments are so fixed with shutters that there can be no looking out, and in the train which carried me to Dar jeeling there was one car covered with canvas as thick as that of a circus tent. This contained Hindoo women, who, as they rode up tbe Himalaya mountains through the finest scenery in the world, were thus shut in tbe stuffy darkness of this tent like car, and saw no more of the grandeur of the nature about them than they would have seen had they been tied up in so many leather bags and sent through the aaails.—Frank G. Carpenter.

Foul libels Upon the Sex.

It is one of the long current and apparently immortal slandors invented by the liar, man, chat women go to church to criticise the dress of their sister worshipers and show off their own. The Gossiper brands the statement as a foul aspersion upon the gentle sex. The nature of woman is essentially reverential and religious. Man reasons and doubts, he finds inconsistencies between science and revealed religion, he demands that he sco the nail prints and thrust his finger into the wounded side before he will believo. Woman, "the last to linger at the cross, tbe first at tlie sepulcher," seixes with the hands of love and faith tho eternal truth and holds it fast, walking with trust unshaken amid the darts which skepticism hurls at her religion, carrying it with her through the "valley of the shadow," and holding it aloft as the waves of the dark river encircle hor.—Nashville American.

Shapes—Ail About the New Flower Hat*—JfoTelties la Tennis Shirts and Jackets Described.

Conspicuous among fashions are the flower bonnets and hats. The strings to tbe bonnets are usually of black lace or narrow velvet, and there is -generally a looped bow somewhere among the Sowers. The velvet may be black, or of the tender green of the leaf. White lilac, lilies of the valley, mignonette. moss rose buds, honeysuckle, pink or tea roseetc., are among the flowers most serai, or the whole bonnet is of moss grass or leaves, with a little bunch of flowers lightly put in. t*o

A STTU8H HAT.

The small round hats resemble, in some lases, the top of a round box, smothered in Bowers. Others are very large, veiled in tulle, with all colors of roses apparently toesed on and again, others are entirely of semi-transparent colored tulle or white lisse, with leaves lavishly adjusted. In the cut is illustrated a large hat of lace straw, bordered with a brim of solid straw, which is covered with puffings of cream net and garlands of tinted leaves and large roses, over which hover butterflies suspended at the top of a long pin. The bows are in pale lemon and Nile green velvet a niching of cream net surrounds the brim, which is filled in under the center with rosettes of baby ribbon.

With many of the hats plain tulle veils are worn. These are sufficiently long to cross at the back and tie in a bow under the chin.

Black laoe bonnets are much tbe fashkxk A wreath of crevette colored roses had been oombined with an upstanding bow of black laco in the center and brier stems round. A brilliant coquelioot crepe bonnet had three jet stabs in front and a black wing on either side, like Mercury's helmet.

The, SeMon's New Gloves.

It is almost impossible to believe tbe number of shades or tones of color represented in tbe gloves. Reseda, through many gradations, tones to gray, while there are many grays which shade to quite another kind of green. In French kid thes»Vba.ve thick crochet backs, and there is a new introduotldn'bf $iuch nartoitrer crochet backs, which are now the fashion^ Tbere are serpen tfcluea, blue grays, gray' grays, tea greens—indeed, all tbe innumerable shades to be found in the dresses of the period can be matched exactly in gloves. Colors that are ugly in themselves look well when thoy assimilate with thedreaa

There is a large cboioe in fawn shades Some verge almost to yellow, some to drab and some to brown. There are two qualities In suedes there is still a great demand for the beet, but the public are beginning to realIce that French kid lasts twice as long. A novelty in the season's gloves is that tbe but' tons exactly match the tone of tbe kid. There are two new shades—a positive mouse and tbe exact tint of wash leather, which la, perhaps, tbe color of all others that gooa* best with light summer dreeaea. Tbere is a demand also for tbe pinky form of drab, whloh accords well with some of the new tapestried drosses. Tbeold fashioned rifle green is oocnIng in again, and rieux rose glovee are to be had.

Neok Scarf* and Ties for Has. Neok scarfs for spring and summer have white or very light grounds, and are smaller and less puffed than thoee worn in the winter. The narrowly folded Asoot scarfs and tbe four in hand scarfs tied by the wearer are the fashionable cboioe, and are worn in light colors in morning and afternoon alike tbe materials are China silk, arm urea, satins, China crape and fodbrda In dark colors navy blue foulard and grayish blue with large white designs or bold stripes are preferred. For traveling and general wear are neat scarfs of washing silk in small broken plaids, ohecks or stripes of blaok, blue, or brown on white, or eiee with lines of gayer colors theee are made up in sailor knot*

For Juns weddings are white China crape •carls with brocaded designs of small sprigs wide cross stripes. Windeorties—wide bias •carts to be tied in a bow with ends—are fhnwn for wear in white China crape with red or blue brocaded Sowers, and in soft twilled silks with stripes at two shades of ooe color or inooatrast. A novelty for summer the flannel scarf made dt the new silk and wool used for shirts, the ground of white with stripes of colored sOk.

"4' Concerning Moths.

"The.damage by moths is done when the millers begin to fly,"-explains The Upholstery Review, "as their very presence indicates the absence of the worm." Carpets are seldom troubled with moth worms except where hatched in a dark, unprotected space, and where it is moderately warm. Nearly all the trouble from moths emanates from the furniture, tbe burlap inside the outer covering being their best field for work, where they can be free from annoyance and find plenty to eat. Many furniture dealers realize their danger, and cleanse the burlap used with napbtha.

The authority quoted says "Ckansfng carpets by the naphtha process is regarded as the surest and most satisfactory where there is tho slightest suspicion of moth eggs or worms. It is especially adapted to pile carpets. Caution should be exercised as to toe purity and clearness of the naphtha used and the thorough extraction of tbe grease, else the dirt adheres more easily than before. Where carpets are to remain in storage some time tbe odor can be left in the carpet, A more thorough cleansing can be assured by having the carpet beaten first A surface application of naphtha will drive the impurities through the article, to be absorbed by that which is under it

A Rose Jar.

Gather rose leaves when they are not in the least damp and place them in your jar, with the following essential oils sprinkled between them: Cloves, cinnamon, neroli, lavender, lemon and rosemary. Keep th& jar closed tightly, opening It when the delightful perfume will fill the room. A rose leaf pillow may be perfumed in tbe same maimer, only placing them between cotton batting, tacking tiicm in and putting it between the lining and outside oovering of a sofa pillow.
