WOMEN AND HOME.

ONE OF THEM WHO SAYS WOMAN'S SPHERE IS GROWING TOO WIDE.

It Is clear from the recent discussions about female suffrage that there is a good deal of uncertainty and difference of opinion at the present day as to woman's sphere in the world. The movement which led to the improvement in women's education is still io young that its results can hardly yet be tested. We have no sufficient material to enable us to decide whether, and if so in what direction, the female intellect differs from the male. We have no adequate means of judging whether those special womanly qualities which are universally 'valued and admired are inherent in a womanV nature, or are doe, in part at least, to the circumstances of her past life, sheltered as it has been from much of the struggle and competition of life. It must still be considered uncertain whether the particular direction token by the higher education for women is the ideally right one. The advance has been so rapid that we have hardly bad time to breathe, still less to ponder and Judge. But the cry is for further advance, or rather for more change, for new openings, for fresh developments.

It might perhaps be wiser, seeing that we have done so much, to be content for the present to move a little slower, and take time to the work that has been already done. There seems something selfish in our haste. We wish that the changes should, at any rate, oome in our day, that we may have the merit and the benefit of them. A little more caution is surely needed before we take steps which it would be impossible to retrace. Is it too much to ask that those who wish for more changes should at least take time to formulate what is their conception of woman's share it* the work of society) I have been told that the only way to decide this is to open everything to woman for which nature has not obviously unfitted her.' This suggestion, for Christians at least, has one decided objection. There is nothing in the nature of women to unfit them for holy order*, but we cannot imagine that any Christian, however advanced an advocate of women's rights she may be, would wish to see women as priests. Nature does not, therefore, seem to be an altogether safe guide in this tangled question. I should like to ask my fellow Christians whether revelation has not something to say to us on this subject.

The old story of the creation of woman tells us that she was made as a helpmeet for man. I doubt whether modern claims have advanced her to a nobler place. St. Paul's views about women are well known, but they aro, as a rule, dismissed with some remarks about the nature of the times or a statement that St. Paul did not appreciate women—was a misogynist, in fact. Yet oven he had valued women friends—Priscilla, Phoebe, Lois, Eunice. St. Peter was a married man and lived with women round him, and he had found out that the ornament of women was "a meek and quiet spirit." The political platform of the Nineteenth century does not, somehow, seem akin to the meek and quiet spirit.

I fancy that I have men in America among the best women a better ideal of woman's sphere than is often to bo found in our own country. I seem to have noticed there some glimmerings of an idea that women should regard it as a duty to bring sweetness and light, intellectual as well as moral, into the Uvea of their male relations and friends, and that with that object each woman should aim at making herself as complete a character as site could. If we women would only take the trouble to be something, to have a character, to have interests, to have ideals, to have true religion, who could say where our power would stopf But no, we want our rights, we want to make a noise, we want to be of consequence, we aro afraid that our opinions are not sufficiently valued, we clamor for an appreciable test of our influence.

The gospel teaches us a different lesson. It would be well if* we couid content ourselves for a time with bringing the fruits of our improved education, of our enlarged opportunities, to bear upon the duties imposed upon us within our old sphere, and those othere which ore intimately connected with it. Meanwhile we might well study, with a little more care than we have hitherto done, what are the peculiar characteristic* of the female intellect. Too much time has been wasted in the desire to prove that it the same or equal to that of man. If we believe that the fact that the world is peopled with beings of different sexes is not due to chance, but to tho will of the Creator, we are bound to believe that he has appointed work of different kinds for each sax. We cannot believe that in the revelation he has given us he has left us without guidance in the perplexing task af how this work is to be apportioned.—Louise Creighton in Guardian.

Woman in China.

In a missionary periodical published in Shanghai, Dr. Faber, a well known scholar, published a paper on the status of women in China. Ho refers especially to the theoretical position av igaed to women by th» classics. These lay down the following dogmas on the subject: (1) Women are as different in nature from man as earth is from heaven. (SO Dualism, not only in body form, but in the very essence of nature, is indicated and proclaimed by Chinese moralists of all times and creeds. The mala belongs to yang, tho female to yin. (3) Death and all other evils have their origin In yin, or female principle life and prosperity come from It* subjection to the yang, or male principles and it is, therefore, regarded as a law of nature that women should be kept under the control of men and not allowed any will of their own. (4) Women, indeed, are human being*, but they are of a lower stale than men, and never can attain to full equality with them. (5) The aim of female education, therefore, is perfect submission, not cultivation and dev. potent of mind. Women cannot have happiness of their own they have to live mod work for men. (7 Only as the iher of a

r«1

as the continuator of the dir. line of a family, can a woman escape from her degradation and become to a certain degree her husband's equal, but then only in household affair*, especially the fieraaledapartmaot, and in the ancestral ball.

She is not the equal of ber husband ch» be pitohim, and is *~nt tor her kaphas on the sacrifices Ibylnar deeewndanta.

A half teaspoouful of borax will make him clean and sweet, and in hot weather a small handful of see salt, which comes in boxes ready prepared for the bath, will strengthen him. A rilk sponge, a piece of scentless soap, towels and all his little nU»n clothes must also be in readiness. Lay a large piece of old blanket, witfa apiece of robber cloth under it, on your lap, disrobe his baby majesty, lay him on his stomach and sponge him all over quickly, being very careful not to let soap and water get in his eyes or ears.

Wet and soap the sponge, and wash carefully in the creases of his neck and arms and under bis arms, lathering the stomach well to get up a circulation. Now lower him gently into the tub, and amuse him by letting him splash the water with his hands while you sponge him rapidly all over the body for four or five minutes. Many young mothers are clumsy awkward, and baby, who knows a great deal more than you give him credit for, feels that he is not treated properly and resents it in the only way possible to him by a free use of his lungs. Lift him out on a pfrwa of dry blanket, oover with a soft Turkish towel, and dry thoroughly then rub chest, back, arm pits and the entire body well with aa old piees cf gauae flannel All flth ttlnn longer in the telling than iu the doing.

The Born Nurse.

The "born nurse" is a family institution, whose fame is wide and wlbose virtues are well recognised. Perhaps her talents are inherited from along line of ancestral nurses, whose touch was healing, and who from time immemorial have been the comfort of the family doctor. Perhaps she is unique in the family history, but however this may be, she is quiet, she is self contained, she has a low voice, and her gentle manners have also authority withal, for the born nurse does not permit ber heart to run away with her head. She understands how to prepare a tempting meal for an invalid's appetite, for this talented person is a born cook as well. Her hot drinks are always hot, not lukewarm, her beef tea salted, her bit of chicken browned to a turn, and her buttered toast thin, but never burned. This ideal person never asks her patient what she can think of that she would like to eat, neither does she leave dishes or delicacies of any sort in sight of the patient when the invalid's meal is over.

She is cheerful without being boisterous iuid hopeful without obtrusdvenesa. She believes in sunshine and fresh air and the cleanliness which is so near akin to godliness. Sheobeyu the doctor's orders implicitly, and it does not occur to her to question his wisdom in the hearing of her patient, whatever she may do in the silence of her own mind, any more than it does to substitute some nostrum for bis prescription because it cured Aum Sally last

But until the doctor comes 8he is the fountain bead of aid and relief. She knows that hot water is good for sprains, as well as for colio aud a toothache. She remembers the best remedies for stings of insects, she knows that a fainting woman must be laid low, and when there are arms or legs or fingers to be bandaged her deft hands make the turns and manage the injured member with the least possible motion, and she can improvise a splint from an old cigar box or an umbrella handle with perfect success.—Art Interchange.

Cooking Utensils.

Rnglirfi friends often ask me how it is that one gets in the humblest places in France ap!etising and varied food and nice made dishes. My answer is: "The French always cook in copper." All meat, from veal to game, that is used in a made dish, is first fried in butter, which can only be done properly in a copper vessel, because its heat is evenly diffused, and it does not grow rapidly very hot or cold. Butter melted in an iron vessel, even though it have a porcelain lining, soon blackens. Potatoes fried in butter in a copper saucepan take a beautiful golden tinge. In an iron one they get black. That glory of the French cordon bleu-, "canard aux navets," would stick to the bottom of any but a coppcr stewpan, and get burned if not constantly stirred. Now, frequent stirring involves a loss of aroma. What I have said of duck applies to "bosuf a la mode," or "poulet a la Marengo," or shoulder of mutton braise, or "gibelotte de lapin."

When new to France, 1 set myself up with a batterie de cuisine bought in Belgium. It was of iron, enameled with blue without, and with white within. Having one day invited a doaen or so friends to dinner, I secured the servicea of a chef. I shall never forget how, on being taken into the kitchen, he folded his arms and eyed the utensils with which be was to operate. "You want, seriously," he said, "to lay before your guests a dinner which they will eat with pleasure?" "Of course." "Well, as it is impossible to work with that batterie de cuisine, and as it is too late to get another, I beg leave to go away. The vessels you have are only fit to scald vegetables."

In England there is an exaggerated fear of verdigris, which, however sickening, is really never total in its effects. But as the prejudice is strong, it might be well for manufacturers to guarantee absolute safety by using nickel instead of tin for lining. Nickel hardly ever wears out, and is easy to keep clean.— London Truth.

h»T»Hn«B is due to old age. It's on its way to the grave, And nothing can now restore its sight. "What birds live to a good old mgo_30 years or twenty-five, or sometimes thirty— their sight often fades and total eclipse settles down upon them. It is just as impossible to restore a bird's vision at such a stage as to prevent an old man's locks from turning gray. "There is, however, a species of blindness ffhftj-. is liable to victimize songsters of all feathers and all ages. This is of comparatively rare occurrence, and it is doubtless sometimes due to a cold which the bird has caught while hanging in a draught. Then cheap bird foods containing opium are vary injurious to a canary's health. "I believe, moreover, that a brass or painted cage is not the best thing in which to house one's lemon colored troubadour. The bird^s QPfftinnal pecking at the wires must result in a considerable amount of paint or lacquer finding its way into its maw, and this surely cannot be wholesome. Besides, in the case of brass cages, after the lacquer is nibbled away, verdigris accumulates on the wires, and this poison must have a baleful effect on tbe yellow peckers within, acting as a prolific source of sightlessness."—Ph iladelphia Reo* erd, ..

wick Thorpe, the author of "Cur

She is now a woman of 89, and she wrote the well known verses when die was under 17. All she got for them was a letter of thanks irom the editor of a Detroit newspaper, to whom she sent the lines. She to a native of Indiana, and passed her childhood in great poverty. She says: "Of all Hnil, prosaic lives mine was the dullest and most prosaic." When she wrote "Curfew" she had no education and no knowledge of books, though she afterwards applied herself to them and became a school teacher. But even during her early married life it was more important to her reputation among her neighbors thatshe should "keep house" in ap-, proved fashion than that she should write wall, and she remarks: "Until the year 1880 I was laundry maid, cook, seamstress and nurse for my children." This experience recalls the story of Mrs. George Ripley, to whom suspended Harvard students used to go to be coached. Some one is said to have once found her listening at the same time to me boy who was reciting Greek and another who was demonstrating a proposition in analytics, while she shelled peas and rocked the baby's cradle with her foot.—Buffalo Courier.

rv .Beautiful Stand Cover.

Ttie fiat top of the stand is covered with embossed leather, with an edge or lambrequin falling from each side. The fall, which to eleven inches deep, is made of Pompeian red silk, with chamois skin decoration. A pattern of vine leaves is drawn upon a wide strip of chamois, which to basted securely upon the silk. The design to worked in heavy buttonhole stitch with silk the color of the skin, and the spaces between cut away, leaving the red silk as the ground for the pattern. The leaves are veined with gold paint. In doing this velning the best success is achieved by using dry gold, mixed as it is used, with thick gum water. A line of Japanese gold thread to couched upon the edge of the leaves after the chamois has been cut away. He connecting stems are also worked upon the silk ground with the gold thread.

The decoration should make across stripe from five to six inohes broad, below, it should be at least one inch of silk hemmed up, fnd a* a finish small gold and red tassefeafSsewed on over a fringe made by cutting a strip of chamois three iiiehes deep into strands.

A description gives very little idea of the beauty of this decoration. Upon the ends of a piano scarf or across stripe on a short cabinet curtain it would be very rich and effective).—Louisville Courier-Journal.

A Lady Decorator.

city has found congenial employment as a professional decorator of the home. It to a new, but none the lees practicable avenue to feminine sustenance, yet calls for special fitness. The tendency of the times, in the matter of home decorations and urnishment, to in the direction of prodigality, rather than taste. Liberality of outlay, not refinement of feeling, is manifested in the homes of those that have newly acquired the means for rendering their homes as attractive as those of their well to do neighbors. To such homes the fair professional decorator brings a taste and artistic feeling that will invest all she arranges with a quality not purchasable, and a fitness and harmony not to be secured by gold, silver or bank checks. An able architect is secured to plan the new house, but the interior adornment of that house is left to the—often—crude tastes of its occupants. To remedy this defect comes the young woman of artistic ideas, based upon natural instinct in that direction, and cultivated by experience and observation.—Pittsburg Bulle-tbu-ro W

Having occasion a few days ago'to nsquire the services of a notary public, I dropped into the office of an Olive street patent lawyer, and stating my business, I was surprised to learn that the young lady who was industriously playing a typo writer was the notary public whose shingle hung without the door. She had been duly commissioned by Governor Francis, and claimed, justly, I presume, to be the fint lady notary in the state. I do not know that there is any legal obstacle in tba way of a lady holding a commission, and I presume that Governor Francos consulted tbe law before issuing it. It certainly opens up another avenue to ladies to become self-sup-parting, and lady notariea are likely to become quite th« fashion.—Congressman O'NeQ in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

WHAT SHALL WE WEAR?

STYLES THAT ARE APPROVED IN THE WORLD OF FASHION.

Gowns That Are Being Blade by New York Modistes for Breakfast and iandusjus. An Imported Sfonrnlng Costome in Paramatta Cloth.

In the world of fashion, gowns are provided in great variety, not only for dinners, receptions and balls, but for breakfast and luncheons as well. In the illustration is given a beautiful model for a breakfast gown. The drees photographed for our cut was in a pale shade of coral pink cashmere. The trimmings were of surah ribbon, of a shade to match, and vandyked lace.

A BREAKFAST GOWN.

A skirt is bordered with a double row of lace, mounted on a kilting and beaded with several tucks. The jacket bodice has inserted lace on the bust and a lace basque edged with points.

Indies' luncheons have become such fashionable entertainments that special gowns have been designed for them. Luncheon gowns described by Harper's Bazar consist of a princesse dress of rich brocade, so simply made that it sits smoothly under the long coat of cloth that is worn over it when in the street. The coat is lined with the brocade of which the dress is made, and covers the dress completely, except below the waist in front, where it opens slightly, in order to display the rich skirt beneath. The brocaded princesse house dress to double breasted, lapping in a point on the left breast, and its skirt front is doubled, to be caught up as a Greek apron, a row of galloon edging the front of waist and skirt being its only trimming. A fur collar and cuffs trim the great princesse coat of cloth, which to removed when the wearer is in the house, and its brocade lining is visible only when it is laid aside in the ante-room.

The bonnet, which to retained during the luncheon, to a toque made of cloth like the coat or velvet of the same color, with trimming of passementerie like that on the drees and a little fur, also narrow velvet strings that begin at. the end of tbe crown. A rich costume of this kind has a design of American autumn leaves in red shades on a green ground for the brocade of the princesse gown, while the great coat is of dark green cloth madt with a very high Collar and deep cuffs of black Astrakhan. A bodice trimming of two great palm leaves of black silk cord passementerie begins narrowly on the shoulders just back of the sleeves, and its wide curves extend under the arms to the waistline from thence a long fringe falls low on the side, made of strands pf cord and I-"-- ,.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

The Linen Cupboard A Provlnoe for Daintiness, Order and Refinement.

In bygone times, not yet entirely behind us, women prided themselves on their exquisitely neat and well stored linen cupboards. Abroad the practice to still kept up, and the linen to a guage of tbe thoroughness and capabilities of the housewife. Our grandmothers would be horrified at the heterogeneous collection forming the store of some of the young housewives of tbe present day. How some of us ever find the thing required, at the proper time, would be a question difficult to answer. But the unnecessary confusion can be easily rectified with just a little care and patience.

The first essential is to have a conveniently situated cupboard. In some houses it is frequently well arranged and purposely placed in the vicinity of the bathroom, so that it benefits by the warmth of the hot water pipes but, even when such is not the case, some other dry, receptacle can be fitted for the purpose. The shelves, being satisfactorily distributed and of the proper width for the reception of larger articles, should be covered with strips of old sheets or coarse muslin tacked with nails on the wall, and left banging sufficiently to cover up the linen when arranged on the shelf to keep all dust away.

It is a convenience to keep inside the cupboard correct lists of the articles stored on each shelf, and, to avoid the untidy appearance of pasted paper, alterations, etc., cards hung by narrow colored ribbon may be used with advantage, and can easily be rewritten when necessary. Camphor is very good and wholesbme, but, where it is disliked, little muslin bags of cedar chips placed here and there give a clean and fragrant smell

With regard to placing the various things, a certain amount of discretion cau be used— putting, for instance, such articles as are used less frequently on the higher shelves or at the back, if tbey are deep enough to allow it, and towels, napkins, doilies, etc., in the more accessible places, where they can lw found on an emergency, and even, if needs be, in the dark, without upsetting the order of the whole shelf. Each pile of things must be well away from its neighbor to insure comfort and tidiness each set of things well sorted—napkins of one pattern, towels of ope border, etc. for nothiug is m^re demoralizing to the wholesome atmosphere of the linen, store or to the temper of the victim than a useless, and consequently not patient, search amongst an ill assorted pile for one particular thing that cannot be found because it has not been put into its proper place.

In modest establishments especially it is well not to aspire to too many varieties of things, and, in purchasing linen, to invest in articles by the doaen, or in the largest quantities needed, from the start It to cheaper in the long run and insures similarity. A set of six towels picked up cheap at one sale, a remnant of odd napkins purchased up in a misguided impulse at another, only help to make up a miscelliii^'Ua. and uncomfortable collection.

Linen can be made to last an incredible iength of time by the exercise of judicious care. It must be well examined, neatly mended and thoroughly aired after every wash and before it to put away. When the sheets begin to wear they can be turned sides to middle. Wornout tablecloths will make into napkins, sideboard cloths, etc. Use the things in rotation, always placing the last article washed at the bottom of the pile and giving out whatever comes next from the top. Of all the provinces over which the housewife rules tbe linen store offers as great scope as-any for daintiness, order and refinement, and if well managed it may be "a thing of beauty aud a joy forever."
