cIR REMARKABLE INSIGHT INTO HUMAN" NATURE.*

lie Change In Public Sentiment During Recent Year*—Some of Hie Great Women tVrlters—George Kliot'n Ilijli Rank—The Present Immnnl Tendency.

Many years a^o a lladyf entrauco into lifcrraturo was hailed either with a florid comMirnent or a cold sneer. No such reception |S given her nowadays. In past generations fane Austen and Miss Edgowortbr, Fanny liumoy and Miss Martineau had shown that In several kinds of fiction women could do at [least as well as men. In the caso of Miss lkusten's stories it is doubtful whether they have ever been surpassed as faithful reflections of English middle class life.

Anthony Trollope, a few years ago, also jsayed to draw English society exactly as it but, though ho attained a fair measure of success, it is very doubtful whether "Pride laud Prejudice" and tho rest will not live ImACst "Ii.i-e-bester Towers" and i/3 like are TwJWi. Then, while no analyst of human I sarnra keen as Thackeray, and no literary Xjjiricaturist so full of genius as Dickens, has fover emerged from tho ranks of woiiieu written, it is certain that, with tho exception of l«„Vse great novelists, George Eliot bad a JfUer insight into humanity and a nobler f' 'ouch than any male writer of tho last half jijentury. She would certainly stand third to /Thackeray and Dickens, while some would place her second among tho three.

WOMEN IX POETRY.

An poetry the last fifty years have shown 'women standing on the very steps of the thror.o where the laureate sits. No poetess of t.h preceding ages ever struck as deep and true note as Mrs. Browning in her "Aurora

•Leigh" and her shorter poems—works of which any male writer of our day might be proud. Tho success of the sex in our time, however, must not bo measured by great names aloue. Tho characteristic of this age

isjjme immense amount of excellent aDd honX&t literary work dono not by scores or hundmls but by thousands of ladies in England, France, and, above all, America.

In preceding centuries half tho human race was intentionally repressed. Women wero told that to mind babies, cook dinners, or mend stockings was their natural avocation, and exceptions liko Anna Seward or Hannah Moro wero hailed as prodigies. Now nobody denies to a daughter the right to pen, papar and ink, and if she can begin by earning a few guineas for au essay or a story in a magazine the fact is treated as a matter of course.

Tho women of England and America havo

at present no novelist with the literary power of George Eliot, but thoy have at least half a dozen who may be classed in the second rank. Nor is this blank in the first class peculiar to women. Thoro is now no male novelist in this country or tho United States who enjoys the uncontested supremacy of Scott, Dickens or Thackeray in his generation. The fact is that in this, as in other kinds of literature, the general standard has risen, and there -seem no giants because thero are so many who are above the middle height.

It is sometimes said by those who regard fiction as frivolous that it is all very well for tho ladies of literature to write for us stories which help to .while away a passing hour, but that sterner work must come from men. A story which is not meroly a story, which provokes thought and keeps itself alive beyond tho xoofton, which rouses controversy and excites contradiction, is "Robert Elsmere"—a from rt. woman's pen. When will male rivals influence politics aud religion as Mrs. Beeoher Stowo and Mrs. Humphrey Ward havo dono by tho sincerity and earnestness of their tone?

JIISTAKKS MADE.-

Of course there is a seamy side to this new iievelopmout of our literature. A fow wornon take advantage of their sex to write tales that aro not truo, not healthy and not pure. They draw coarse pictures of men's smoking rooms and clubs as if they knew all about them. They revel in Latin and French quotations, sometimes misspelled and always dragged in by the head aud shoulders. They delight in libertinism, and call it liberty. They revel in allusions to eating, drinking and midnight dissipation. They aro for tho most part unsexed creatures, neither men nor womeu queer things In petticoats, with a morbid tasto for the society of dissolute bach elors. Wo may happily ignore their books.

Other novels written by young womeu are objectionable because their sins against delicacy are duo to ignorance. Whou an unmarried girl who has audacity and genius •attempts to describe love, she is sometimes bolder in her coloring than any mau or woy'man who has had experience of lifo. She

writes things that shock, just as a babbling child can bring confusion in a drawing room by its courage and simplicity.

In one caso of a novel of this kind it is said that the authoress, on American, wrote it anonymously when she was a girl of 18, and, on confessing it years afterward to her mid dlo aged husband, he left her at once, tissort* ing confidently that it came from no maiden mind. A keener critical sense would have -detected ifl its audacity the very note of absolute ignorance pretending to knowledge.

These faults of feminine literature, however, are inevitable incidents of immaturity. Young poets ore just as foolish, and so are young male novelists. The main point stands that, as a story professes to represent life as it is, all tho young authoresses of the day are -at a disadvantage. Few women ever attain to what may be called a full knowledge of life. While unmarried, or if married early and happily, they learn little of tho grim and ugly realities of tho world. Even when they tMArch for the facts a great deal is unknown tt them because they see life as observers rather than actors.

The wonder is that they do so well, and the explanation is that intuition and inspiration comes to their aid. George Eliot could never have mixed with peasants at the ale house, yet in "Silas Manser* she reports their talk to the life and her auctioneer ia "Mid'dientnrch*' is depicted as if she had been baying horses from him for years. We see, therefore, the gain to the world of the new movement which has called to the_ service of man tho literary faculties of a sex that from few facts can draw inferences boldly and penetrate at a glance mysteries which men have punled over for years,—London Telegraph.

Popular Nam«s of Women.

I wonder if any woman ever liked her own name. When I was ia the harness used to hare to read all the manuscript that came tc the office. Most of *onr contributors were women. Women, I have sometimes thought, are naturally inclined to literature. 1 never knew one who didnt drift into writing for the press if she had the slightest encouragement. And when they begin to write, of course, the first thing they do fa to select Mm de plume. These assumed names used to amuse me, and I took a fancy one day to keep track of them for one year. At the expiration of that time I discovered that th« name "Maud" led the Ust The next was '•Lillian," and then they scampered off talt As realm of flctioc, "Beelak,* "Mispah,* "Barweoa," and the like.—Chicago Tribaa*

Stay-at-Homes.

A Chine*) tea merchant in a small town in California came home from San Francisco one day with his new wife, for whom, a© cording to custom, he had paid a great amount. It soon appeared that she was as proudLof the trade as he was.

Ah Lee permitted the wife and daughter of his chief customer, Squire Hadley, to pay his young wife a visit of courtesy—an unusual privilege. "How do you like our little city, Mrs. Ah Leef' asl:ed Mrs. Hadley "it must seem very quiet here after noisy San Francisco." "Me no hear heap noisee down 8a' F'an'seo," replied Mrs. Ah Lee with dignity. "I suppose not," said Dora Hadley. "Your women and girls are not allowed to go about in the way we do. I should think you'd just hunger and thirst to go shopping and buy things don't you ever! You no buyee, no shoppeef'

There was a light of pride in the dark almond eyes, a haughty turn to the queer shaped head, and Mrs. Ah Lee replied with feminine emphasis: "Melican lady walk, walk, walk: buy heap dresses spend heap dollars. Chinaman lady cost heap dollars, for why Chinaman lady stay by she."—Youth's Compaction.

The Other Side.

The plaint of the "saleslady" or "salesgentleman" in tho large dry goods store about the shoppers who come in and have half the goods in the store pulled down and then depart without buying anything frequently finds its way into print. I venture to say that the percentage of captious, irritable and hard to please customers is no greater than that of indifferent, inattentive button clerks. Can anything be worse than to be waited upon by a young person who chews gum and Itands around with her eyes turned inward and her thoughts far away? Or one who is carrying on an animated conversation about her love affairs, or the peculiarities of the customer who has just gone out with the next gay person one who ceases her chatter to answer your question with a distinctively painful effort, and then resumes the interest' ing history of Charley's last visit. Do you thi|ik you* abash that young that person by getting up and leaving the store? Not a bit of it. That is what she wants you to do, so she can continue her conversation without interruption.—Lady Shopper in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Another Kind of Tick*.

A stout and aggressive woman elbowed her way up the silver counter at one of the big stores the other day, and said pompously to the clerk, who was waiting at the time on some one else: "How much are your toothpicks?"' "Wo don't keep them at this counter," said the girl.

Tho portly and haughty woman crushed the girl, or tried to, with a look of scorn, and repeated: "I asked you how much are those toothpicks?"

The girl was' evidontly mystified, and replied again: "We don't keep them here, madam." "You don't keep them? Then what are those!" exclaimed the woman, with a haughty gesture toward a little velvet lined box containing a dozen sharp pointed implements four or five inches long. "Those aro nutpicks, madam," said the girl, inn cruelly distinct voice.

The haughty woman lost herself in tho crowd with neatness and dispatch.—New York Sun.

IIow She GMW|I«I Pneumonia, Just how the fashionable woman who ap pears night after night in tho Metropolitan opera house clad (K| tulle dross, kid gloves and shippers and a pS^l necklace manages to escape pneumonia must ever remain a problem to vex and bother tho doctor and philosopher. These lovely creatures aro certainly endowed with great endurance, whatever may be said of their sense. Perhaps, as Carlylosaid: "Vanity is warmer than down and pride rivals the robe of ermine." But to get at facts I put tho question to a pretty little creature who never read a line of the sage. "I don't feel cold at all," she said, "in evening dress. Just bofore dressing I bathe my neck, arms and shoulders in glycerine and rose water, and after drying with a coarse towel I have my maid rub me down with alcohol. I don't need this at all, but I do it to please papa. I think, however, it is a good idea, for my flesh never gets goosey and this is my second season and I haven't had a cold yet. Then I always wear a vory warm wrap in tho carriage, and when I get home I take a warm bath and go to bed."—New York World.

The Road to Woman's Heart. How shall women bo wooed? Let no random counsel guide her. Women are as various as the leaves in the wood, and each leaf has a mood for each hour of its life from swelling spring to crackling autumn. Devoirs that would be most acceptablo to ouo might" bo repulsed with stinging force by others, and addresses that were' welcome at neon, eveu though clothed in identical garments, may pall «,t night. No man can tell. Arrows shot at a venture often find joints in the harness of a heart as well as of a king. Some women-were made to be taken by siege, and all the storming of Marc Autony could not compel surrender and some would rush to capture in tho swift assault who could defend walls, gates and circling moats forever and a day. But mark you, lady! She who would capitulate to the stubborn wooer may chnngo her liking with the flying hours and change it back again—no rule is sure to win. But however madame should be wooed, sbe demands at least that she be loved, and reads iu her article of faith that constancy is part of vows.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Rope* Made of Women'* Hair. Speaking before a meeting of the Methodic* ministers, Bishop J\wler told of a new heathen temple in the northern part of Japan, It is of enormous site, and the timbers were hauled to and placed in their present position by ropes made from the hair of tho women of the province. An edict went forth calling, for the long hair of the women, and enough was obtained to make two monster ropesone 1? inches in circumference and 1,400 feet long, and the other 10 to II inches around and 3,000 feet long.—St. Louis Republic.

Unexpected Forbearance, was dressing her doll, while

Frank, who was out of humor, spoke to her in a very teasing way. She was quick tempered, but in this instance did not retort. "Bessie," her mamma said, "Frank talked very disagreeably to you. It was veary nioa of you not to answer back, as you do sotn*times." "Mamma," replied Bearie, "I wanted to, but couldn't I had my mouth full of pins." —Harpert Young Poopk.

AFTER THE MOORISH.

Oh Moros'. OhMorosI He staggers! A ah a Sweet love, ah, thou never canst reach me— !.sss® "Ay, ay! See, I come, though a-dying!

Behold tho red cross I have won thee! The word of thy Moor is not broken

Now throw the thread down again over the outside of the hand, bring the needle towards you, pass it upward through the loop held over the fingers, under the mesh stick, through the foundation loop and in front of the thread proceeding from the thumb. Now gradually draw the needle through, so as to form a knot and a loop over the mesh stick. The stick regulates the size of the loop. Only practice can teach you just how to do this.

Make another loop just like the first in the foundation loop. Then draw out the stick make another row in the same way, making one more loop in each row. Work in each loop of the preceding row, just as you did in the foundation loop. The work thus proceeds diagonally, but the meshes pull out square.

If desired netting can be started on a long string, instead of a foundation loop. Variety can be introduced by using sticks or thread* of. several sizes in alternation. In wool oi silk several colors may be used and beads tacked on the knots or narrow ribbon run in. Netting is frequently used for shoulder capes, tidies, babies' caps, etc. To make the crown of a baby's cap do about thirty loops in a row, then run a thread through and draw up in a circle. Around this work as many rows of loops as may be desired. Netting is often edged off with ornamental crochet stitches. With stout twino, like macrame cord, any girl or boy might net a fishing net or a hammock

Filet proper is coarse, square meshed netting of linen thread. To make guipure d'art the filet is first mounted on a frame. A suitable frame can be made by bending a wire into the shape of square or rectangle, joining tho ends carefully and covering the wire smoothly with old silk or muslin sewed over the wire like tubing. Ovor this open parallelogram stretch out the filet, sewing or lacing 1 lie edges firmly to the covering.

The filet is to be filled in with lace stitches, some of which you already know. You know that point de Bruxelles, or Brussels point, is a loose buttonhole stitch, so loose that the stitches hang down in loops or picots.

Now, if you make two rows of this, crossing each other so that the loops are turned in opposite directions, you have made point d'esprit. If you examine a piece of antique laco you will see that its ground is largely covered with this stitch.

Another common stitch is plain in and out darning But done evenly and carefully, it becomes au art stitch, known as point de toile. Point de feston is als( a kind of darning, but it is done over the corner of a square, with a succession of loops over the foundation threads. Point do feston and point de Bruxelles can be grouped or combined in various ways, to form blocks, stars and other patterns.

Point de reprise is used chiefly in making leaves, petals, etc. Stretch two or thre« threads over one or more squares, then darn in and out over these threads. All of thi stitches are exceedingly simple. With the present hints, all that you need in order to learn tuem is to examine a piece of antique lace. Wheels are sometimes introduced. These are the very same as used in point lace.

Lace-stitched done in silk are sometimes introduced into art embroidery. I have seen a pattern imitating antique lace, the squares of filet outlined upon a plush foundation and then worked over with point de feston.

The edge of antique lace is finished off with close buttonhole stitch. The scallops are cut out in square points, following, of course, the character of the meshes. Netting may be cut any length or width convenient, as if does not ravel out.—Margaret B. Harvey in Philadelphia Times. 4^

GUIPURE D'ART.f

?rett.v and Useful Needlework That Our Girls May Katrily Learn. Guipure d'art is that species of needlework jommonly known as antique lace. This lace »n be purchased so cheaply that it would icarcely pay finy girl to make it. But it would pay her to learn the stitches, as they are of use in other kinds of needlework.

Guipure d'art is generally made of linen thread, but silk or other material may be substituted. It is worked on a foundation of netting, usually called filet.

Netting is easily made. The necessary inr elements are a iratting needle and a mesh stick. The mcsli stick is of ivory, round or Bat—flat is better for antique lace. The netting neodle may be of steel for linen thread or silk, bone for wool. Tho needle is straight and forked at both ends. It should be wound '.lengthwise with thread, moderately fullfllke shuttle.

To begin and net, pin a foundation loop fast to a cushion or table cover. What you want is a firm starting point. This may be dispensed with after the work is sufficiently advanced. Tie the end of the working thread, that wound on the needle fast to the foundation loop and take the mesh stick in the left hand, holding it between the thumb and forefinger. Take tho needle in the right hand, pflca the thread downward over the stick and the extended fingers bring it up over the outside of the fingers, then forward between the thumb and forefinger, between which the loose loop thus made is held tightly for the present.

AN ECCENTRIC DOCTOR.

The Quaint Way* of a Suciossful 'ev» ]£ii~lan AZediral Man.

^Dr. Charles Wild practiced medicine in Brooklinc, Mass., in the days when people insisted upon taking large doses of calomel, rhubarb, jalap, picra, ipecac, antimony and countless other drugs, and on being blistered and bled. The docsor "vas equal to the occasion, and gaveiis patients their money's worth of physic and service—when they could secure his attendance.

For the doctor was a difficult man to find, and, when found, to impress with the idea that he was actually needed. Unless the case was represented as a matter of life ?.nd death, he was apt to delay his visit until the patient had recovered or died. Those who hunted for him, knowing his habits of going, from one patient to another, without going homo for a day or a night, used to go through the streets looking for "old Sal," his sorrel mare, and his familial old buggy, standing before some house door.

But such was the public confidence in him, that in ordinary illnesses people would wait his tardy visit rather than send for another physician.

The author of "Sketches of Brookline" describes him as entering a house in the breezy way, stamping off the snow or the mud, throwing off his overcoat and letting do.YD his black leather pouch, with noise enough for three men. His salutation, uttevci in a deep, gruff voice, was likely to be, if the patient was an acquaintance: "Well! well! what kind of a kick-up have you got now?"

He gave nicknames to the children, and would ask: "How's Nicodemus today?"' or: "Well! is Ichabod's tooth ready for the lance this morning?" A friend's child, whose name was Florence, ho called "Rome," "Milan." or by several other Italian cities.

A member of his family, while making out the doctor's bills, was perplexed by a charge upon tho books of a visit to "Don Sebastian." On inquiry it proved to.be the niclcname of a child of the Cabot family.

When the doctor had studied tlio case and given tho patient his dose of moulcine, he would, if there was cause for anxiety, settle himself for asocial visit of two or three hours, during which he told droll stories, and acted them" out to the amusement of the children, who were very fond of him If the case was serious he was grave and silent, catching flies, if there wero any to catch, or walked the room in deep thought.

The doctor was more than a physician, he was the counselor of his patients, who consulted him upon all sorts of matters, from choosing a wife or a husband to building a hen-coop. His opinionwas an authority that fow disputed, for his good sense was seldom at fault.

Hisquaint humor, on leaving a sickroom, would often express itself in some such salutation as this: "Now if you can't sleep well and don't know what to do, you can amuse yourself with taking an ometic."—Youth's Companion.

AMONG THE PERUVIANS? *rh« 9outh American 'atlon Described by a Wisconsin Girl.

When Hon. John Hicks was appointed United States Minister to Peru he chose as Secretary of Legation a bright American girl. Miss Elizabeth L. Banks. Since being domiciled at Lima, the capital of Peru, Miss Banks has kept her eyes ope"n, and, with instinct sharpened by her connection with various NcVthwestern newspapers, she has proved a good news-gatherer. Writing to a friend in this city, Miss Banks says: "Procrastination is the ruling habit of Peru. Ask a Peruvian when he will do any othing and he replies "Manana," which being translated meaas 'to-mor-row.' Nothing is ever done to-day, all things take place on the 'man ana,' which never comes. This 'manana' habit is, I suppose, breathed in with every breath of the air that one takes in Peru, and I am afraid I have drawn a good deal o? it into my system. ." 1 "This is a very interesting old city, and yet the people and the government are very much behind the times, their ideas being those of one hundred years ago. The city of Lima has been called 'the heaven of women, the purgatory of men and the hell of asses and to the last proposition I will heartily assent. The city ia, full of donkeys, and the men and women who drivo and ride them always carry a big chunk of wood with them, which they continually apply to the ribs of the poor animals. Some enthusiastic writer has called tho women of Lima tho most beautiful in the world. There aro some pretty Peruvian girls to be met on the* streets or saying their beads in some of tho many churches. Their dtrk eyes are the kind that would make a man jump off Pizarro's bridge into the river Kimac if his suit 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 tooth-pick shoes. They aro very gallant, but are not half so nice as American men from any point of view.—• Washington Capital.

SPEED VS. QUALITY/ Never Consider Doing- of Mora Importancn TIt:n Well-Dolnjf.

Many persons seem to think that speed in work is a higher accomplishment than quality of work. If speed is of the first importance, then it may be an apology for poor quality. If quality is of the first importance, then it may be an apology for want of speed. One says: "I want to learn to write fast." Another says: "I write this very hurriedly please excuse erasures." Would such writers—or workers—rather be thought quick than accurate? Do they place the writing above the written?^ Even a shorthand writer ought not to write faster than he can write welL Speed follows quality quality never follows speed. It is a good thing to do good work fast. But it is a bad thing to do fast work badly—and that is the way it generally is done when the fast-doing is held above the well-doing. Bad work had better be done so slowly that it sever gets done at alL The only way to attain to high speed is to work for something better than speed.—8. & Times.

A New Method of Treating Disease.

HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is a new departure in the treatment of disease. It consists in the collection of the specifics used by noted specialists of £urope and America, and bringing them within the reach of all. For instance the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, was obtained and prepared. The treatmentof other physicians celebrated for curing catanh was procured, and so ou till these incomparable cures now include disease of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness,, rheumatism, and nervous debitity.

This new method of ''one remedey for one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experienced the ill efffects, and thoroughly realize the absurdity of the claims of patent medicines which are guaranteed to cure every 111 out of a single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, has ruined more stomachs than alcohol. A circular describing these new remedies is sent free on receipt of stamp to pay postage by Hospital Remedy Company, Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors.

A new idea embraced in Ely's Cream Balm. Catarrh is cured by oleansing and healing, not by drying up. It is not a liquid or suufif, but is easily applied into the nostrils. Its effect is magical and a thorough treatment will cure the worst cases. Price 50c.

With Ely's Cream Balm a child can be treated without pain or dread and with perfect, safety. Try the remedy. It cures catarrh, hay fever and colds in the head. It is easily applied into the nostrils and gives a relief with the first application. Price 50o. 30-2
