'hrOLSTOI'8 WIFE AS NECESSARY TO HIM AS HIS RIGHT HAND.

A Collection of Good Things Concerning Women and Their Work That Are Worth 1 Beading and Remembering—Suggestions to Hooaekeepers and Mother*.

Miss Elizabeth D. Hanscom, in an interesting article, quotes Mr. Btead (who writes of life at Tasnaia Poliana, the oxintry estate of the Russian novelist and theorist, Lyof Tolstoi), as saying: 'The dreams of the idealist are seldom capable of trai'tion into the prose of actual life, espe ijy when the idealist happens to be married and the father of a large family."

Mr. Stead further affirms that if Count Tolstoi had teen at liberty to fully carry out his ideas there would now be no Count Tolstoi. All f,tae world knows that he believes in literally obeying the injunction to sell all and

Sborto

vc tho poor, that be believes manual to be a necessary condition of ideal life, and that to possess more than the bare essentials of life seemed to him a sin. Yet he and ids family live in luxury on his ancestral entate. What all the world does not know is that the Countess Tolstoi is the reconciling factor in this apparent conflict of theory and practice.

Nearly thirty years ago, before be developed bis philosophy of life, Count Tolstoi married tho daughter of a Moscow physician. During all these years she has shown herself to tie a woman of unusual powers. She directs, controls, manages everything at the household at Moscow and at Yosnaia Poliana.

She assumes the whole responsibility of caring for the family, which numbers thirteen children, superintends their education and teaches them English and music. Her business ability is also shown by the fact that she has sole charge of the sole, circulation and distribution of her husband's books. Hor is she wanting In sympathy for the count's Intellectual labors. Sho is both amanuensis, reviser and translator. Tolstoi's writing is illegible to ruost readers, and his wife rewrites his manuscripts again and again until they suit his fastidious taste. In this way she copied "War and Peace," from end to end, sbc times, and his last work, "Life," sho rewrote sixteen times, besides translating it into French. When, however, it comes to a question of adopting bis views entirely, sho refuses.

Ouo of tho country seatii has already been •old, tho family has retired from society, the mode of lifo has been ranch simplified but the Countess of Tolstoi will not consent to giving up everything, or to living like a peasant. For tho sake of her children she insists ou a comfortablo life. By the law of the land, without tho consent of his wife, the oount canuot resign all the resources ou which the family is maintained. Accordingly, he has retired from active participation in the household arrangements he is his wife's guest, coming and going as he chooses, partaking of the plainest faro, maintaining a rigid simplicity of lifo, and all tho time considering that his family livo in culpable luxury because thoy have servants to wash their linen and to prepare tlwir food.—New Orleans Picayuno.

lie Won His Quarter.

There is not half tho flirtation dono on tho oars that one might imagihe. Possibly this may be due partly to the sense that people have of only going a short distance. Henco it doesn't seem worth while to engage in any of thorn) artless attempts at exciting Interest which the flirt is prone to affect. It wouldn't last long enough to pay. Enough couldn't be done.

But no matter how short the trip, if a pretty woman finds herself tho object of admiring glances she is never .Insensible to it.

An observer of human nature called attention to a fact connection with this point. "Now, you notice that woman that just oanio in," said he. "Sho is 83, and any man with half an eyo can soo that sho is not at all frisky, but is respectable and quite matronly. "Ill wager you a quarter that in a few minutes some man's attention will be attracted by her. She will seo that without seeming to notico it "In a minute or two you will see her hand go up to her head and sho will give one or two little touches to her hair, just to seo that everything is trim and thot there are no trailing unseemly ends. It is her way of accepting the homage of an admiring glance that Is still respectful. Watofa now and seo."

In a few minutes a large, good looking man had looked up from his paper and bis eves had rested contentedly on the woman. Her glance swept him coolly and she looked out of the window. The next momont her hand had gone up to her hair. Tho man had won his quarter.—Now York World

The Girl Wlio Gushes.

Every one knows or has seen the "gushing girl." She is not a rare specimen, and be found most anywhere upon the face of th* gkxie, and though she is generally a nonentity in regard to brains and good common imose, she is still, to a cwtain extent, ablo to do a good deal of harm to her more sensible sisters. As a general thing she is disliked by her own sex, who have no patience with her wild flights of fancy, while a man will listen and be half amused, but forming the while a wrong idea of tthe rest of womankind. School girls' gush and extravagant expressions are excused because there is hope that it will be outgrown, but where it is carried from the school room into womanhood there is no hope.

A "gusher" can hardly be a good, true woman, for she lacks sincerity, going Into ecstasies over trifles as quickly as she doe over things of merit, lite saying it that after a man has told a He a number of times over It actually becomes truth to him, and perhaps it Is the same tin the case of the "gusher." She becomes so in the habit of raring over anything and everything- that she actually believes all she says. Oush will be tolerated in a young woman. 8o long as she is fresh and pretty, with rosy cheeks and bright eyes, some one srtll listen to her, bat let her beware when the roses fade and the crows' feet creep in, for it is only the brilliant, the witty, or the wise to whom a hearing Is then given.—'Tofcido Bhds

cmearsd with mud, and we, for our own protection, are obliged to wear heavy walking boots and mohair underskirts. The French understand the charm there is in frou-frou faminiiwi belongings, and when a French woman lifts her skirt, she would be disgusted if instead of her whirl of white lace, silk ankles and pretty little shoes, she had to show a dark colored mokiir or silk skirt and a pair of thick shoes, buttoned up high to protect the stocking beneath from dost and mud."

Women and Newspaper*.

The newspaper has so cunningly and unobtrusively insinuated itself into the good graces of the gentler sex that it has quite outrivaled a class of literature at one time the intellectual food most palatable to the appetite of tho average woman. Nowadays, if in the busy rounds of social and domestic duties my lady can claim an hour all her own, that hour is given to the earnest perusal of her favorite daily. She no longer goes skimming through the news in a half hearted sort of a way, tot is wide awake to the current discussions of the day, giving to them such deep and careful attention that she finds herself well armed at all points with a knowledge that enables her to meet the questions of the moment in a skillful and diplomatic manner, thus adding one more to her long list of feminine attractions.

Men have for so long a time accustomed themselves to regard the fair ones as bright bits of femininity to be petted, loved and admired for their prettiness, their sweetness and their grace, that the intellectual side of a woman's nature has been sadly overlooked and neglected. Having been brought ton realization of this she refuses any longer to occupy this pedestal of fragile nonentity, preferring to step down and take her place in the community as a thinking, reasoning being, and, as a rule, her efforts in this direction are characterized by a keenness of observation as surprising as it is alluring.— Philadelphia Inquirer.

Women Wlio Work.

The number of women, both single and married, now looking for employment is greater than ever before. The salaries for young men In clerkships and other genteel employments have become so reduced that few can afford to marry unless the woman is willing to put "her shoulder to the wheel" and help with her means to keop the pot boiling. The trouble usually is that when the wife commences to work outside of her home the husband becomes careless and frequently allows the chief burden of their sup port to rest upon her.

It Is always better, when it is possible, for tho wife to leave the providing to her husband, and devote hor energies to make a comfortable homo and encourage bis efforts, but in many cases ill health and the impossibility of obtaining paying employment prevent the husband from doing his duty in this respect. Should this happen, it is well for a woman to be prepared, and in tho early days of married life it is easy to acquire either a trade or profession that may stand their friend in the future. A good drcssnmker or milliner need never suffer for lack of means, a competent artist or musician can utilize her gifts to advantage, if necessary tyjwwriting is easily acquired, and a woman who con make a good loaf of bread, a crisp roll of first cla® pastry, need never know tho want of a dollar.— New York Star.

Russian Women.

Speaking of the women in Russia, Lady Randolph Churchill notes that "most Russian ladies smoke cigarettes, in one of the drawing rooms generally set apart for thu purpose, causing a continual movement, which takes off tho stiffness of a formal dinner party and enables people to circulate more freely." "Speaking many languages,'' continues tho writer, "having read profusely, light in hand, Russian ladies form the most charming society possible and act as a tonio on a sluggish mind accustomed to the moral and physical fogs of London. They dress well, but affect the heavy richness of well dressed Germans (if such can be found) rather than the graceful and airy nothing* which make up a Frenchwoman's dress. Black Is held In abhorrence at the court, being considered ugly and unlucky, and any one venturing to wear it In the royal presence is not only looked upon with disfavor, but is likely to hear of it How strange that Russian women, so eminently fitted by naturo and education to influence and help those struggling in the higher vocations of life, should have, seemingly, but one ambition—to efface themselves, to attract uoattention, to arouse no jealousies. Yet I doubt not that their influence is felt, but it is not open and fearless as in America or England."

They Already Had That.

A party were stopping at a country house on tiie North river, near New York, including as guests, Mrs. Arthur Welrnan, Mrs. David King, Mrs. Coleman Drayton, nee Augusta Astor, Mrs. Walker Breeee Smith, Mr. S. H. Olin, Mr. Charles Robinnon and others of like ilk. Every one had gathered in the drawing room after dinner, and all were feeling contented with themselves as well as at peace with the outside world, when It was suggested, as a pastime, that every lady shtfuld state the gift she most coveted, and the possession of which she would most prise. With prompt acquiescence each registered her choice. Mrs. Welman wished for the most exquisite jewels extant, Mrs. King desired to be the beet dressed woman In society, Mrs. Drayton preferred to own tho handsomest turn outs, while Mm Smith craved popularity. Now, Charles Robinson Is nothing If not frank springing from his chair, be exclaimed: "Heavens! doot any of you care for beauty And he does not yet onderatand that be made a bad break.—Sen Francisco Argooaut.

Be Loved Them As flwy Were. When the honors came upon the Grants the of the White House began to renew the dream of her girlhood—tn haw- Iter eyes straightened. Wishing to surprise J» president, Mr*. Grant, telliug nobody, sent for the most eminent oculist In America. He willingly promised to undertake the operation, which be sssored her would be easy to •ocompitah, and without danger. The good lady could not contain herself for joy. and, woman tike, gave way when she saw her and confided to him her secret, the pleasure sb* bad in store for him. He looked wistfully into those dear eyes which bad held him with tender gase through all tha trials of a checkered career, and said. In his simple way: "My dear, I wish you would sot change tbsm. 1 lore them as they are, and they might seen strange if alterr l." Nor Laaacetot, nor Romeo, nor love* of any dime or age, ever spoke words of tenderer gallantry.—America.

Betrayed Her Confidence.

A woman here feels very sore over the latest escapade of her 7-year-old incorrigib'e. There were some visitors invited to tea one evening recently, and during the course of the meal John Henry Augustus remarked, with a chuckle: "Mother's got all her best things on the table to-night ain't you, maP The mortified mother gave the youngster a kick under the table, when he added, innocently: "You needn't kick me under the table now, 'cause I didn't tell a word about borrowing the napkins."—Kingston Freeroim« sg?

Somebody, in telling women how to shake off the appearance of years, says: "Resist the first inclination to stoop. Brace up whenever the shoulders settle in the least To place one's self side wise before a mirror and allow the back to curve forward, then gradually to straighten it, will convince any one that, with every inch that is raised, ten years seem to be taken from the apparent age." Nothing so much assists one in making a favorable impression as a good carriage. It is much more effective than a pretty face, and is never associated with age in any one's mind. Any letting down of the shoulders or "settling" of the figure tells, at once that time and the world are getting the best of one.— Dress.

It is reported of the celebrated English physician, Dr. Field, that at a time when diphtheria was raging, a few years ago, he used nothing but common flour of sulphur, a teaspoonful mixed with the finger in a wineglassful of water and given as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. He never lost a caso of this disease. Sulphur destroys the fungus in man and beast In extreme cases, where a garglo could not be used, dry sulphur was blown down the throat through a quill, and sulphur burned in a shovel so that the patient could inhale itExchange. i,

Dangers of Kissing.

A medical journal has discovered that kissing is dangerous. A good many people have found that out to their cost but not quite in the way that the medical writer means. All manner of diseases are communicable by kissing, he says and.it is especially dangerous for a man who smokes to kiss* his children. "Ho should never touch their pure lips with his own." "Promiscuous kissing," we are further told, "should be hurried out of fashion by all well bred and sensible people.—One® a Week.

Ammonia."

Here should be spoken a word of caution tho volatile gaseous nature of ammonia makes it easy to adulterate. Dilute good ammonia with several times its bulk of water and It will still have a smell of ammonia. Hie only safe way is to always buy goods made by a reliable house of long standing. Ammonia is even sold bottled with cork, when, if it had any strength at all, it would destroy a cork in a few days.—American Grocer.

Blueing Is added to the water in which Unen is washed, to neutralize the dull yellow tint which clean linen always possesses. Blue add yellow are complementary colors, that is, when mixed together they make white, so that tha peculiar shade of yellow which Is common to all intensely white bodies, and which may be partially, at least, an optical illusion, Is neutralized by the blue. Paper, sugar, starch and many other substances are treated in the same way.

How to Take the Measure for an Outside Garment—Mrs. Robert Uneoln's Oonrc Dress, Worn at the Queen's Drawing

Boom, Illustrated and Described.

There are comparatively few women who know how to take a measure for a garment, and yet this is a matter of importance to those who live out of town and are often compelled to order their clothing by mail. Especially is a correct measure required in ordering a ladies or child's outside garment, whether this be a cloak, a seal sack or jacket Outside of the figures that run along in general liuesaad come under the bead of a 34,36, 33, etc., every cloakmaker has experience with special figures for whom no provision can be made in a general stock. For these a special garment must be made, and to expedite matters for our own readers we give an illustrated diagram, from The Cloak and Suit Review, showing,how to take an accurate measure.

HOW TO TAKE A MEASURE.

Accurate measurements ought to be accompanied by a description of the individual measured, including such points as high or sloping shoulders, standing erect or stooping forward, etc.

Novelties In Children's Fashions. The old fashioned work of elastic tucking, which found so much favor at the beginning of the century, has been revived aud adapted to bodices trimmed with lace, the sleeves to match being buttoned at the wrist

Cashmere has been specially worked with silk sprigs for children and trimmed with washing satin merveilleux, which will not shrink

The pelisses are made with deep silk cuffs and capes embroidered all over. The newest mako of skirt for three-quarter length is arranged in kilts.

A cloth mantle for children is made with a yoke, the skirt portion gathei-ed to it and pinked all round. It is inexpensive and picturesque.

A now baptismal cloak for baby breaks the dull monotony of an article that would seem to know no change. The cape only comes to the waist, is mode of sprigged cashmere and trimmed with rows of brocaded ribbon of various widths.

Some mothers are using white china silks for their little folk, and also for the long robes worn by babies, but thin sheer nainsook is still the preferred material.

Tucked nainsook caps are worn alike by boys and girls until the boy of 18 months has a soft straw bat with a ruche of lace or of white ribbon loops Inside the brim, and a baud with bows or rosettes outside.

Separate Walsta Tor Summer Sklris. French' nainsooks or Victoria lawns are made up in separate waists precisely like those of surah now used, and will be worn all summer with various colored skirts—a cool and comfortable fashion. They may be tucked lengthwise to form a yoke, or else they are shirred at the top. The sleeves are straight and full, or if preferred in coat shape, are quite full and high about the armhole. The belt may be of insertion or of ribbon, and the space below the belt may be worn outside the skirt or thrust under it, as the wearer chooses. -'-Harper's Bazar.

Slippers for Evening Wear.

Slippers are more worn than boots for evening wear. Suede slippers and suede gloves are usual accompaniments for tbe evening toilet, but the newer mode is to wear slippers, of satin if necessary, to match tbe gown. The slipper has the pointed toe and high heel and is not very low in front Silk bows as rosettes are used in ornamentation, but they must bo small ones. The buckle is silver or gilt, sometimes jeweled, and may be targe and square or smaller than thoee hitherto seen. Small pompons of gold, or silver thread are occasional ornaments.

A Word About Sleeves*!*

Many of the poplin dresses, made with high velvet sleeves, have sleeveless jackets to go with them, which fit round the armhole. These hints are worth the consideration of those who dress welL Distinct sleeves appear in many dresses, and for stoat women velvet sleeves and plastrons greatly narrow the figure. Thin people are improved by having the upper part of tbe sleeve made wide in material to match the bodice.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

A Rich and Original Curtain in Imitation of Indian Work. Which Is Mow a Fad. Among decorative materials that have of late come into use, few are more susceptible of graceful and artistic effect than chamois leather. This has long been familiar in its natural yellow color, but now that it has been utilized in the field of ornamental work, it is to be found dyed in various attractive shades of straw and orange colors, as well as browns and tans. Deoorator and Furnisher describes among other new things that have appeared in chamois leather work, a very rich and handsome curtain for a bookcase:

First, out of any old cloth cut a curtain tile size desired this is not to be used except to shape the chamois on, for %he skins are so irregular that it is difficult tc shape it well without a foundation. Baste the pieces on. making them join without overlapping more than euough for a seam, if possible when this cannot be done cut them to fit When they are all fitted evenly and smoothly, with the four edges straight, join them with feather stitching, using yellow qr bronze silk, or both, fastening here and there a few bronze or yellow beads.

Cut'deep fringe top and bottom, putting one or two strips underneath to make the bottom heavier. The one thickness is enough at the top. as this is turned over on the right side. Across the top just below the fringe, paint in bronze paint the following legend: "Dreams and books arc each a world."

Across the bottom paint a border of mingled acorns, cups and oak leaves, using water color and bronzes. With a strong piece of sewing silk fasten irregularly in tho fringe extra strands made by stringing first a real acorn cup, bronze or plain, then enough beads to make it the same length as the fringe.

Tie the curtain to the pole with thongs of the chamois, the ends slitted two or three times, which may be cut from the strips trimmed off to make it fit The lining or foundation curtain should bo removed before the feather stitching is done. If the fitting has been well done, so that the curtain falls Into easy folds, the result will boa very original and handsome curtain, an excellent imitation of tho best kind of Indian work, which is tho tnomentary fad at present.

,u Alleged Antique Furniture. An old furniture repairer tells that, much of the furniture in antiquo stylos now on tho market, and too often sold as a "veritable "antique," is made of unmistakably old, well seasoned and sound wood by clover workmen who know how to apply chemicals which have the effect of "aging" the completed article until it may readily deceive oven an expert But, unfortunately, some of these cunning cabinet makers are not always scrupulous enough to have their clawfooted chairs, cabinets and so forth made of old wood, but work up fresh young maple or oak, and stain or color in such away that you would believe the article a century old. Some of tho purchasers of these wonder why they snap and crack as they stand In their rooms. By and by the veneering scales off and the joints draw apart, and the thing is ready for repairs.

A FIREPLACE SCREEN.

The trellis is of white enameled wood, with two wicker flower pot covers fixed In front and linsd with tin for the reception of ferns or flowers. The back of tho trellis is lined with colored sateen and on the front is a trail Of imitation ivy. In tbe evening a combination of tbe fashionable fairy lights with this is very picturesque.

Home Made Porter.

Two gallons of water, one-half pound of hops, one quart of barley (burnt and ground for coffee), one tablespoonful of ginger, one pint of West India molasses. Boil tbe bops and barley together two hours, so as to get tbe strength all out, then strain and add a cup of hot yeort. When almost cold put in the molasses, stir up well and strain again let it work sufllciently, and when the foam has covered the entire top of tbe liquid, bottle, cork tight and keep in a cool plaice. It is ready for use in a few days.

Pre— rvad Cbarrles.

Weigh after stoning them, and to each pound add three-quarters of a pound of finely crushed sugar sprinkle tbe sugar over tbe fruit in layers, and let them stand together all night then boil gently three-quarters of an hour. This makes a delicious preserve, and is pretty for dessert. A little red currant juice added when the fruit is put in tbe preserving p»" is an improvement, and, if so, rather more sugar shook! be allowed, in about the proportion of ooe-half pound to each half pint of juice. Any scum that rises should be skimmed off.

•towed Chicken with Rice.

Cot op a chicken and stew it boil a cup of rice by itself till it Is done. Five minutes before up tbe chicken put In tbe rkse, with a liberal seasoning of salt, pepper aad batter When done take tbe chicken out on a platter pour tbe rice and gravy through a ff^aii tiere, and the rice which goes through with the gravy will thicken it sufficiently. Place tbe remaining rk» in large spoonful* aroand the edge of the platter and serve the gravy by itself in a gravy boat

How to Serve Pineapples.
