WOMAN AND HOME.

HCW THE SPANISH WOMEN OF THE PAST LIVED AND KEPT HOUSE,

Another Appeal Cor Fraab Air-Hi* A|* at Which Women Shoold Marry—Something About remah Suicide#— Int«raa&ing 8** toettotm About tbe Fair Sea.*

The 8panish woman of tbe Eighteenth oentnrjr form* a marked contrast to her French tfrtf- at the dawn of tbe Revolution. Whereas the French woman of the past century is perhaps the most witty, skeptical and free of those who have a place In history, the Spanlard is the most "devote," docile and ignorant—notice that 1 hare said "devote," not pious, for piety, in my opinion, existed in a better mid more solid form among tbe famoos women of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries, chief among whom shines the great queen Isabel, tbe Catholic. At tbe t*tn» of the Renaissance Spab&h women, whose learning equaled their piety, far from contenting themselves with no education, or with only a superficial one, held professor•hips of rhetoric and Latin, like Isabel Galindo, or widened tbe domain of philosophic (peculation, like Oliva Saboco, In the Eighteenth century these traditions were so utterly lost that it was considered dangerous to teach girts the alphabet on the ground that if they were able to read and write they migbt correspond with their sweethearts. 1 have heard it told of a great-grandmother of mine, of noble family (grandees in fact), that she was obliged to learn to write alone, copying tbe letters from a printed book, with a fpointed stick for pen and mulberry Juioe for ink. A salutary ignorance, absolute submission to paternal and conjugal authority, religious practices and complete self effacement formed the regime under which the Spanish woman of the last century lived. These abuxes were lashed by the satiric scourge of our famous Moratin in

las Ninas," "El viejo la Nina" and "La Mojiguta." Tho result of the teaching of these coinudies amounted to a complete transformation of the female character. The Spanish woman of the timo anterior to the Cortes of Cadiz has tocome the classic type, as classic as the "garbanxo" and the "bolero." Tbe woman of this pure and simple national type never went out exoept to mass, and that very early, for, us the proverb has it, "Good women don't walk."

Her dress consisted of the tight petticoat of fine cloth or icrge, white kerchief fastened with a gold pin and velvet bodice and lace fpantJiln Her only luxury when dressed in her best (for she never walked) was the openwork silk stocking and tbe satin slipper. She employed her time in manual labor, Ironing, knitting, embroidering on a frame, or making preserves or sweetmeats. Patchwork was fashionable in spite of its danger to the eyes. As lately as my girlhood ray mother used to show me, as a work deserving of admiration, cushions worked by my greatgrandmother in patchwork so One that the work almost formed anew texture. Even if •he knew how to read this woman was acquainted with no other book than the breviary, the Christian Year and the catechism, which she used to teach her children by force of blows—for to chastise children was at that time a kind of rita, which it would have been incorrect to curtail. She led the prayer of the rosary surrounded by her servants and family at night she gave her blessing to her sons, who kissed her hand, even though they already wore beards and were married she oonsuited with some friar or other on the affairs of her household and bad home made remedies for all known luflrmitias. So thorough going a female figure was bound to disappear at the advent of society as at preseut constituted.—Fortnightly Review.

A harmless application for timeasia purpose is made of a quarter of an ounce of white wax, with one teaspoonful each glycerine and mutton suet. The wax and suet are melted separately, and then the whole mass is well mixed and turned into a mold to cool.

Dr. Felix Oswald, in a recent article in a medical journal shows that fifty-five out of 100 white children die before they complete seven years of life, but he asserts that hardly five of that number are born with germs of an early death and that two-thirds of the the remainder perish from want of life air. ft is too oomnKMUy assumed that cbi lungs wittrie to stand ordiuar.v fratfi air. to jadge by the ptetmMam timt taJnut to shot ip «wy f*.waibl« ares.. through wbtah pare air can enter a room In which it is tap*. .* petftAiutttX t© hjli-iJ* W-6 —jfc and

Dr. Oswald remarks: "Boys in knee breeches often manage to remedy the evil by dint of strategy, while their petticoatod Juniors bare to stand the brunt of paternal infatuation. Every form of disease is a^ gravated by the influence of impure air." Human beings can Bve along time without food, but without air they cannot live six minutes. Their vitality is propartfcmatalydinrfnfaihwd by the tack of pure air and the substitution of air that is vitiated and inadequate to supply tbe sustenance required from it.

One cause of mischief in this direction is the confusion in many minds of the relations of heat and cold to pure or impure air. Rooms are shut up tightly to keep In the heat, and some economical but obtuse people cannot powibly see the useof having a warm flre with the window or door open. It looks to tK«m like a piece of extravagance, and 'if you want the door open what do you want a fire for!" seems to them a question incapable of reasonable answer. Hence air famine is not alone inflicted on the babies, but is frequently made to curse tha individual and the family through life.—Good Housekeeping

Women as Saloides,

A feet interesting to women is developed in the comparison of old and rsoent statistics of suicide. In the old works on suicide the causes of self destruction among women were given: First, as disappointment in love next, religious excitement and, lastly, dissasa Late investigation shows a marked decrease from the two first named causes. This is encouraging, as it shows a corresponding Increase In woman% mental and moral strength. There was a time when love and the home tte of husband and ohfldren were a woman's only source of comfort and diversion. If love failed and husband and children proved unkind the woman had no resource* There was a time when women were expected to believe what men formulated as to faith without question. Their minds, like those of children, were unprepared to grapple with ntfw ideas. All this is changed.

Girls are educated with their brothers. Women are In sympathy with their husbands' profession or business, or they carve out independent lives for themselves. Women have grown kM personal, and they recognise other than their own. Love may be lost, but humanity, friendship, work, and books are left. Love may die, bat the sun will still shine and the earth hold much of happiness.

Women no longer pin their faith exclusively on interpretations of men. Women are working out problems for themselves. They qo longer consider tt a sin to read, and disCUfs, and think for themselves. Their minds have grown strong enough to grasp a new idea without growing hysterical and becoming insane or committing suicide. Only a weak woman kills herself for love: only a silly one in religious excitement.—Washing" ton Post.

that for many reasons. The brain is immature, the reason is feeble and the character is uafmoed. Tbe consideration which would prompt a girl to marry at 1? woald in many cases have little weight with her at 24. At 17 she is a child, at 94 a woman.

Facts About CoffeaJ"

The pleasures of coffee are by no means disipated in the warm season, when "hot coffee" is not needed as a means of defying the discomfort of cold "weather. Cold coffee it a delicious beverage when well mada Cpffwft ice made of strong coffse froseu in a freezer and served in cups with whipped cream is a dainty dessert, or a convenient part of the afternoon tea menu coffee soda is a peculiar summer drink, and few people accustomed to the morning cup of coffee m«ir« any difference on acoount of the weather in this most important feature of the breakfast table. An expert in coffee maintains that the best coffee is made in the old fashioned tin coffee pot. "Don't give me any new pattern arrangement for making coffee," he says, "the old tin pot is tbe only kind of /firing utensil that preserves the aroma and the full flavor of the coffee."

After the coffee has been boiled and settled pour it in good strength upon a cup half filled with cream and hot milk. Most true coffee epicures have a beverage prepared with full strength that will give a delicious aroma and a true but delicate flavor to a cup of rich cream and boiled milk. Rather peculiarly the average American drinks about the same amount or coffee now that he did eighteen years ago. In 1870 the average consumption for each person was seven and a half pounds, in 1S88 it was seven and two-thirds pounds, showing that the taste for coffee neither increases nor decreases.—Boston Journal,

Killed a Battler with Her Tin Pall. Mrs. Frank Keen, of Chichesterville, had a rather thrilling experience with a rattlemaim a day or two ago, which* she will probably remember during the remainder of her Ufa She was pieking raspberries in her garden when she suddenly heard a peculiar rattling noise. She continued her work for a mlniit* or two, when she again heard the •ama noise nearer by, accompanied by an ominous hiss, and, glancing into the bushes does at hand, she saw a big rattlesnake already coiled and about to spring at her.

Mm Keen had a large tin pail partly filled with raspberries in her hand, and without a moment's hesitation she let the snake have a taste of the berries and the big pail at the sametima. The pail must have fallen with a terrific whack on the reptile's when Mrs. Keen went the Injuries done to tirned out Th f® baf the found the head had been v.

Fnoeb Bathing Suits.

In yachting costumes aa in other dresses is to be seen the influence of either directoire, empire or incroyable, all exaggerations, however, being avoided by best modistes. Numbered with effective yachting dresses seen was one of navy serge and brown Holland. Tbe waistcoat, cuffs, pocket flaps and underskirt were of the Holland, all embroidered in navy gold and red mixed braid. The little walk-

log Jacket and over dress were of the serge and decorated with braiding. The looso fronts of the jacket were lined with Holland. White glazed sailor hats are to be this year's fnahi/w for yachting, and tbe blaok glased ones are also to be greatly worn—whether they are or not is another question. A very useful yachting or traveling cap has just been brought out by Redfern, which has the merit of being pretty. Tbe material is blue serge, braided with a red, blue gold braid small flaps, whioh go over tbe ears and tie under the ohin, are also braided form part of the trimming of tbe hat, when not in use being collapsible, it oan go easily in an ulster pocket.

In the first cut are shown two effective seaside costumes. One is in light green foulard, overlaid with a design consisting of large blaok leaves. The waistcoat, collar and pooket flaps are in plain green silk, tbe plaited short sleeves And elbow puffings to matoh. The hat Is of M«nnu straw, with flower and ribbon garniture. The remaining figure represents a costume, the skirt and pocket of which are in white mousseline de laine spotted with red. Tbe loose front is of plain pongee silk, as are the collar, revers, eta Tbe hat is of red tulle, drawn and plaited over the frame.

FRENCH BATHtKO SUITS.

In the second cut are represented a bathing wrapper and a bath draw. The former is striped with toweling, with a sash in white woolen braid with fringed ends. This is a convenient garment for wearing to and from the bath. The bath dress is compeesd of a tunic short drawers in navy blue serge, trimmed with white galon. On tho shoul* ders is a large white cloak, useful to wrap about one on oomlng out from the water.

The marie Antoinette 8cart A novelty for covering tbe head, shoulders and arms at lawn parties is a lace scarf with capucbon, or hood, that can be worn with the low throated corsage and short sleeves of fuU dress toilet*. This scarf resembles somewhat the mantilla worn by Spanish women, but Parisians attribute its origin to Marie Antoinette, who delighted in soarfs and fichus when she and tbe ladies of her court played at dairy maid and shepherdess in the pleasure grounds of France. It is simply along stra-ght scarf of laee, with tbe middle gathered under a bow of high loops, ljlrn those oa tbe crown of a toque, a scalloped edge drooping over the front hair, and the wider edge over the back of the head, while the long ends cover the shoulders, one sod crossing the cbest, and boinj, ^-aed on the left shoulder with a fanciful

Deeoiatlve Device*.

The "Butterfly Sociable.M

Pretty, quaint friezes for stair cases and walls may be painted on the rough brown paper specially adapted to the purpose. An old witch riding on the proverbial broom, with a moonlight sky a fairy on a rainbow Puck on his mushrooms owls on a crescent moon, in fact any design roughly dashed on will giv| wonderfully good effects.

A clem- device for a towel rack c(*sists of an ordinary bar, about a yard long, suspended by picture cord and tassel or brass chain to the walL To this bar are hung three large rings, six inches in diameter, held fx place by a screw, the towel being hung through these rings.

For a manteL, an Indian scarf makes a charming drapery, and is a great saving in labor over the heavy plush embroidered ones and a great gain in an artistic sense. Place it simply along the mantel shelf and catch it up high in the center or on one side with a few glass or silver spangles.

One of the most satisfactory of wax finishes for wood is made by boiling a quarter of a pound of white wax with one ounce of pearlash and one quart of water. It should be stirred while boiling and until cold. Apply with a paint brush, and afterward rub until dry with velvet or plush.

Decorator and Furnisher, which gives the above useful items, tells also how to make from the straw matting that covers large tea boxes a very attractive specimen of the fanciful baskets now so highly prised iu tbe feminine world. Cut a circular plaque of this matting about fourteen inches iu diameter, sew the edge firmly and bind with cotton tape to prevei.t raveling give the back of the plaque a coat of copper, steel, gold or silver paint, shading into red, blue or grayish green on one side, and then paint in a devioe of lilies, tulips or some other large blossom. Line tbe inside of the plaque with satin (terra cotta and old rose are very effective so employed), bind the edge with satin ribbon wide enough to conceal the tape binding, and draw the sides of the plaque up in boat shape with a folded strip of wide satin ribbon, finishing with bows at each side of ribbons in two or three colors, theendsof the ribbon cut forked or fringed out,

The Care of Matting.

In sweeping the pretty and ecouomTcal straw matting that is growing to be very popular with housekeepers daring warm weather, do not use a broom, for it will tear tbe strands in a short time. Along handled bristle brush, such as is used for oilcloth, is the nicest and will remove the dust best, for the soft bristles can go into crevices that a broom would miss. Always, when possible, brush the matting the lengthwise way of the grain, and tbe strands of straw will not wear and break as quickly as though brushed across. Some persons clean matting by sprinkling bran or ooarne Indian meal ova* It, then with along handled mop, with cloth wrung out of dlean, warm water, rubbing tbe grain well all over the carpet, then leaving it until dry, when tbe grain is brushed off. This is claimed to be a thorough way of cleansing matting, but it is usual to simply wipe it off with a damp cloth wrung out of salt and water, not wetting the matting much.

For winter use, if a heavy layer of carpet lining is put under it, matting is a comfortable floor covering. With pretty rugs scattered over it, tbe room has a pleasant, homelike appearance that is very attractive. It is cheap, and if care is taken when putting it down that little cleavers, mode especially for the purpose, are used instead of the ordinary carpet tacks, it can be taken op at any time when cleaning bouse, cleaned and put dowu again, in lees time and with leas labor than a woolen carpet, and it does not require to bo beaten, but may be washed wtiHvlM tfcwWk* the same as usual.

'I^.Some Good Salads. -,

Cucumber Salad.—Take a large fresh cut cucumber, peel and slice it as thin as possible sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over it Allow this to stand until wanted for the table, when pour over tt one toblespoonful of the best vinegar and two to three tablespoonfuls of pure salad eiL

Red Cabbage Salad.—A red cabbage with a firm heart and two fine beads of celery cut up the best parts of these as fine as possible, mix them lightly together with two or three spoonfuls of a good salad dressing garnish tbe dish with tbe top of the celery, and serve.

Salad of French Beans.—Take any quantity of cold boiled French beans seo that they ore well drained from water pour a sufficient quantity of vinegar over them to cover let tho beans remain in the vinegar for full twenty minutes drain tbe surplus vinegar off, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and a little of good salad oil, if liked.

Freneti Jams.

Choose ripe, sound apricots, peel them and remove the stonea Put eight pounds of apricots it a basin with five pounds of granulated sugar stir with a wooden spoon till the sugar is melted, and let the apricots stand four hours. Then boH in a shallow preserving pan for ten minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Blanch a few kernels with boiling water, peel and mix them in tbe Jam. pot it in small pota, and, when cold, lay a round of paper dipped In brandy close on the jam. Cover this with a layer of fine beef suet to insure keeping, and tie over tbe top papers brushed with white of egg or shellac varnish. Green gages, plums, nectarines and quinces may be made into jam in the same way. 7-."
