WHAT ONE YOUNG WOMAN HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE

8ICYCLE.

Why Women I.ove to Dress Well—Paper in the Sick Room—Helen Hunt .Jack-

I.ittlu liojr— How to Keep Plant# During the Winter—A Doll's .House. Sojyg tlinc ago there was a co::i3iunica{ Ion in your issue from some girl who gave her ex-neriem-es in searching for a solution of the problem of bow to get necessary exercise in a regular and independent way, and suggested the bicycle as a means to the end.

I have never been particularly in earnest on this point until lately, but during the hi miner I had to work hard anil left the result* in a dreadful sleeplessness that grew won*? and worse till I was in despair. My physician gave me opiates, and I was unable to get any sleep at ail without them. Of •conrae this could not last, and it was through hi* snxgf^tion that I came to the point of contemplating the wheel aa a saving agency. I went down and bought a ticket and took a icfeon.' I did not think that could possibly *x» the solution, for it could not do me any to lie pushed round the school, igno•m.iiously held by a handle, and I never •could make the thing stand up. I wan very .much discouraged and went home blue and down-hearted to teir my mother, who was •glad of my discouragement, as she was in mortal terror of the thing killing me. Next morning, after a night of .such length and horrible restlessness as only those can understand who cannot sleep, I camo for another f.riid.

This time I did better and spoilt the hour Ibere in such hard work that I was tired when 1 had to go home. What do you think 1 did when I got there? Laid down and wont to sleep 1 After that delicious nap nothing could keep me from my wheel. I have 1 it to ride and ride continually. I am all .,,.it and sleep like a top, and if by any chanca I am so busy for two or three days that I doirt get out and begin to feel that horrid nervousness coming over me it docs not bother me any more, for I know I hare my cure at baud.

The young lady who wrote that letter to you said every one would be an enthusiast if they once tried tho wheel, and I indorse her opinion and would say, in addition, just you try lying awake night after night till the wee ,wna'"inairs, hear hour after hour strike and think (lie light is never coming, and be reduced to begging your friends and family to stay up just a little longer, so as to make the night seem so much shorter, and then all of a fcudden have the power of sleep given back to you, and if you don't got enthusiastic for the cause of this blessed change you'aro very different from any ono I over knew.

Tf there nre any norvous, overstrung teachers, lot them try my cure, and if their pupils dou't bless tho wheel then I shall bo very much mistaken.—Another Convert in Washington Star.

Why Women Dress Well.

ilrs. Jennoss Miller's opinion ou tho subject is that women are interested in dress very largely from a desire to please, and with women fond of admiration it is undoubtedly true that they desiro to please men but there is a largo class who dress from a desire to excite envy among women. Women of very sensitive refinement take more pleasure out of dointiuess next tho skin than outside, while .others, becausoof tho admiration excited by Mi^ptp^y, prefijr tho latter. not think it is possible to state how *marrlttgo affects woman's love of dress. Circumstances generally coutrol that. If

great

manv cares press upon a woman, she is apt to \jecoliio cureless for that reason alone, and in the certainty that sho is married anil therefore placed Iwyond tho question of how &o win a husband by the coquetries of dress added to other charms. Too few women real izo that a -husband's love is often easily lost by tho neglect to bo as attractive as before marriage. There are, however, conspicuous exceptions of womon who dross more carefully than over to please their husbands, but they aro the wise women of tho world.

Very few women permit men to dlctato matter* of dress, whether husbands or lovers. I think that thero are many women who would desiro to bo daintily dressed if no or.e over saw them, but the great masses would fall into carelessness without tho incentivoof public approval. And in regard to drew reform. women enter upon it for tho two reasons, to lw attractive autl to gain health—the numbers are about equal for both. This work is growing tremendously, and it is tho very ultra-fashionables that aro taking hold of it. Thev are becoming convinced that tho grace iti the long linos, which suggest without. closely defining tho figure, lend charm to many otherwise uuattractive women.

Paper in the Sick Hoom.

Whilo on the subject of paper, uowspaper especially, did it over occur to you what a useful article it is? It serves so many purposes, rineed between tho sheet and bedspread or another sheet it will keep out tho •cold, thus making a very light cover for patients unable to staud tho weight of bed clothes and serviug for a blanket to those who cannot afford on©. One great objection to it in this capacity is tho noise it is likely to make. If vou want to keep ice for any length of time, fill a wine cooler or any similarly shaped vessel and wrap several thicknesses of paper close around it, standing it on paper, having a blanket or something thick to cover It, and roar. ice will keep for twelve hours or longer.

Often you aro called on to pour strong smelling medicine or some eqnaUiy obnoxious fluid into a narrow neck bottle.1 A piece of writing paper will imiteati excellent funnel. One more u-* for paper then I will say no

jv on the subject. An old phy-icten n»ce taught me how to do dry cupping, and find it works splendidly, and think it quite an improvoinetit on tho swab, and the pufiing and Wowing accessary to extinguish the flam®, which in many eass*. unfortunately for nurse and patient, has bwi forgotten.

treatment of children were formed and adopted. Rennie was never punished as most children are, even by loving mothers—shaken or slapped or shut up in closets. His mother had endless patience with his occasional fits of naughtiness or obstinacy. But neither she yield and give him his cwn way to save trouble. She made him do what was right bot she did it by methods of her own, and always, whatever she did, he felt that die loved him best of alL

To teach hitn to do right instead of wrong of his own choice was her great desire. "If he is only good because I am the strongest and be is afraid of me, what use will it be in the end," she would say. "Some day he will be bigger than I am and no longer afraid, then if only the fear of punishment has stood in his way, he will go straight to the wrong. No he must learn to use his own will and conscience, and not because he is afraid of a whipping."

Babies think more than grown-up people quite realize. Very early little Rennie began to reason things oat. As soon as he could understand, his mother set herself to explain to him the reason of things. She never said "You must do so and so because I order it," but "because it is kind and brave and unselfish." She would sometimes add, "It would please mamma very much if you do it," but she never commanded. "It has cost him a hard struggle sometimes," she told me, "not to do the pleasant thing which was selfish or greedy or mean, but never, not once, has he disappointed me in the eadl"

This happy child, thus led, not dragged, in the right direction, and living on terms of the closest intimacy with his mother, grew into a superb, manly boy, one of the handsomest and dearest I have ever known. Ji

Keeping Plants in Winter. 1| Doors opening into the room in which you keep flowers should have strips of listing tacked about them in such a way as to close all cracks through which the wind can enter. A sfcrong wind will blow more cold into a room in moderate weather than will be likely to penetrate in still nights when the thermometer i3 down to zero. Therefore, be sure to fortify against the admission of air through these inlets. It is a good plan to take a day for doing this work. Begin at one corner of tho room aud go over it thoroughly, finishing up each part as you go along. By systematizing tho work in this way you aro sure to have it doue well, but if you stop a crack hero and there, and now and then, as it happens to be discovered, you will be pretty sure to have a bad job of it, taken as a whole.

If your plant3 should freeze, as soon as you discover what has been done put them in a dark room or the collar, where the temperature is but little above freezing, and sprinkle, or rather, shower them with cold water. In most cases such plants as abutilons, geraniums and others of similar character can, if taken in time, before allowed to thaw, be saved, and I have had quite tender plants come through tho ordeal with comparatively little injury. The frost must be extracted gradually and with the application of as little heat as possible. Keep them away from tho light and warmth for two or three days. If the tops wilt after the frost has been extracted you may feel quite sure that the wilted portion cannot be saved, so cut it ofl? at once, aud be sure to cut below that part which appears affected by^tho frost. If some of the frosted part- is left'on, very often decay sets in, which extends to tho stalks below. Should the whole top seem killed, it does not follow that the roots liavo not vitality enough left to send up new shoots, so do not throw them out till you have given them a trial,—Ladies' Homo Journal.

A Doll's House.

It was erected by Thomas Lynch, Jr., for his little 4-year-old daughter, at a cost or $3,500, and is as complete as the wildest juvenile dream could wish it to bo. It is built ot brick, with a tower and cupola liko an ancient castle, and looks for all the world like a reproduction of tho great modern residence of some millionaire. It has a little flight of steps leading up to the solid oak front door and an electric push bell for the convenience of the baby visitors of tho happy mistress of tho house.

On this door, which, by the way, is four feet high, is tho name of the proprietor on a silver slate, "Miss Leila Lynch." There is a hallway lighted by a miniature gas lamp suspended from the ceiling, and it is finished in tho choicest of hard woods. There are umbrella and hat racks of appropriate dimensions. Elegant draperies cover tho parlor doors, and the parlor is fitted up in grand style.

Tho furniture is all of white enameled wood, covered with white brocaded silk. Thero is an elegant mantel filled with bric-a-brac of thi choicest kind and little lamps of tho rarest juitterns. A beautiful chandelier furnished with real gas hangs from the center of tho room. Center tables, divans, easy chairs, sofas, etc., fill up the apartment. Dolls from Paris occupy positions here and there, just like

Ballroom Etiquette.

The etiquette at balls is exceedingly sample compared with the elaborate ceremonies and processions in Russia and Germany. Greater liberty is permitted to young people to walk about at intervals or sit out during dances. Though it is not considered correct to dance more than three times with the samo partner, girls are left in all such matters very much to their own good sense. In Germany there are several fanciful dances where the ladies select their partners for one turn round the room, mi,! if thev leave out any one to whom they have been introduced, it is considered an insult Excepting the royal quadrille, which opens the state ball, there is no survival in England of tho stately measures of former times. Dancing is not so much a social pageant shared by all, and a spectacle beautiful in itself, as a personal pleasure for those who take part and a weariness to those who look ou.

A hunt ball is perhaps the prettiest example of national taste that a foreigner could See. A well lighted shir* hall, into which have been introduced as many objects of outdoor interest as the heart of Englishman could desm—flowers, shrubs, foxes' head# and brush**, with other trophies of sport— makes a fitting frame to the moving groups of fair faced girls, bright and fresh as daiaeft in the field, bronsed yoang officers, hunting squires in puik, with here and there the member of some lu-ighbortug dab or a master of harriers in grwen.

pletely covered. Now place one hand on the paper and with the other invert the glass. Ken remove your hand from the paper and the water will not fell out, owing to the upward pressure of the atmosphere.

Again, take a piece of thick brown paper about a foot square and heat it at the fire. When hot place it oc the table and rub it with a clothes-brush for about half a minute. Then hold the brown paper over some small light bodies—little pieces of blotting paper will do-and the light bodies will jump about in a most excited manner. It the brown paper be held over somebody's head, several hairs will immediately stand on thenends, greatly to the amusement of the spectators.

Another even more striking experiment, and not so generally known, is performed as follows: Get any piece of wood, not too thick, about afoot long, and lay it on the table in such a position that half of it projects over the edge of the table. Place a broad book on that part of it which is on the table. Strike the projecting part of the wood sharply with a strong stick or a poker and the piece of wood will smash in two. You should strike very sharply and without hesitation or tho experiment may fail and your book and wood be hurled to the other side of the room.

One more experiment is, peirhaps, a little harder to perform than the preceding bnt I have seen several people succeed with ease, (jet a glass of water and a needle and try to make the needle float. All that is required is a little skill. In the same way ordinary nib» can be floated in water. If you have a magnet—a penny one will do—and rub it on the needle before the latter is placed In the water, it will point, like a compass, to the magnetic pole when floating, no matter what way it may point when first placed in the- liquid.— New York Journal.

Woman's Good Taste.

In keeping with the rapid strides- made along other lines in this country the paat few years, the furnishings of American houses have assumed an artistic tone that puts- to shame the crude and glaring colors and' theawkward designs of the furniture which predominated less than a score of ears agot Such furnishings were considered tasteful' then, but to eyes educated up to the present standard how•discoi'dant. A hint of'.he artistic taste with which woman is more or less endowed was even then displayed in the tasteful groupings of furniture and the good, arrangement of ornamental pieces, such asthey were, and it is this taste, developed and educated, with better materials, that makes the interior of the home of today what it is. So much has been accomplished in this reform that scarcely a home can now oe found, even tho most unpretentious, that is not pleasant to look upon ou account of the artistic combination of things useful and ornamental, and where the tastes of the family are displayed regardless, of how others plan their homes.—Lewiston Journal.

Over Dressing.

The idea that cost is-the measure of attractiveness in dress is a-very vulgar error. Simplicity of design and a due regard to the congruities of color aro essential to elbgauce in tho matter of costume. Ono might infer from tho strong contrasts- of gorgeous hues

which

some ladies affect in their promenade attire that they had learned the art of personal decoration in a herald's college, and held it to be one and thesame thing with the art of emblazing. All this sort of thing is an outrage on good taste. A dumpy, high complexioned dame,, arrayed in purple silk, with shawl and bonnet of many radiant dyes, is a burlesque on the laws, of adaptation which makes tho judicious grieve. Assimilation, not contrast, is the secret of true elegance in dress. The several parts of the costume should be in tasteful harmony with each other, and the whole should bo adapted to tho style of the figure, the complexion and the features of the wearer,

Shade unperceived still softening into shade, And all so forming a harmonious whole. -—New York Ledger.

How to. Stand a "Season."

"How do you manage to keep so fresh and unwearied?" was asked by a correspondent of a dashing belle who had not been in bed before 3 o'clock a single night for three WGGkS, "Shall I tell you the secret?" was the reply. "Whenever I go home at 1, 2, 3 or 4 o'clock, as the case may be, my maid waits up for me and gets a warm bath instantly ready. After I havo jumped into that and out of it again quickly, sho gives me a large cupful of smoking hot bouillon, into which she puts some sherry, and I drink it off as briskly as I can, then pop into bed and in ten minutes am sound asleep. In the morning I am allowed to sleep until I wake myself. Mamma never has me called, unless, perhaps, I am unusually tired and do not open my eyes in time tsa get ready for some luncheon at which I am due. Then, of course, they have to rescue me.. I have a jolly cold bath and a light breakfast, generally nothing more than a cup of coffee and a roll, dress, order round my ponies^ and here I ami"—Providence Journal.

The Tapering Waist,

Parisian women pay much more attention to their figures than English women, as the slender, tapering waist aud full bust of tho French woman as compared with the large waist and too often flat bosom of the English dame sufficiently testify. This tapering effect is produced largely by the corset, the French corset having frequently two sets of lacers— one for the waist, so that it may be compressed without drawing the shoulder blades and narrowing the Chest of the wearer. A French woman, too, in making a street costume, will line the jacket with alight flannel and dispense altogether with the undo- dress waist-the necessary warmth being obtained by the lining with much less bungling effect about the figure. An English woman, on tho contrary, will invariably have the two

jackets

Miss ElLabeth L. Banks, the private secretary of Hon. John Hicks, United States minister to Peru, writes home from Lima: "There are some very pretty Peruvian girls co bemrt on the streets or saying their beads in some of the many churches. Their dark eyes are the vir«i that would make a man jump off Pizarro's bridge into the River Rimac if his gait happened to go wrong. The Peruvian men pay a great deal of attention to their personal appearance, and pass away much of their time in dress suits and toothpick shoes. They aro very gallant, but are not half so nice as American mea from any point of view."
