Observer Notices In New York.

A late fad cf the New York girls is journalism. It is difficult to find a young woman in need of a little pin money who does not make a note of every peculiar incident that she is the observer of, with the view of sending it in to some newspaper, hoping wildly that it will be printed and a comfortable little chcck be returned in acknowledgment. The entertaining feature of this freshest feminine excitement is that every girl who indulges in it is utterly sanguine that each word she writes will be eagerly accepted by the spellbound editors, and that fame is rushing toward her with the speed of a well equipped locomotive. Unlike men, these aspirants for journalistic laurels regard the task of composing available newspaper readying about as seriously as they would that of sewing on their buttons. In truth. believe they go about the literary exerefce even more lightly than tin* i!omestic~one. Journalism with them is not profession, but a pastime.

They are bure that they cunie into the world fully equipped for it, and that it can be taken up and enjoyed like a new novel. "DECLINED WITH TIIANK8."

I meta girl the other day who has recently /been reduced to a rather impecunious position in the world. "Oh, I'm all right," she said, "I shall make plenty of money."

When she was asked what her plan was for enriching herself, she replied: "I am going to begin writing for the newspapers next week."

With a truly sublime faith, this girl is now sending in manuscripts to all the newspaper offices in New York. Ten days of toil have brought in nothing. But her example, if it could be held up Iwfore the hundreds of other amateurs who are smothering the editors In the unavailable pearls of their young fancies, would not deter a single struggler from her endeavor to reach the pinnacle of fortune and fame.

It was at a reception in the rooms of a well known litterateur the other night that a rosy bud of tempting sweetness, in a snowy gown, dashed up to the editor of a morning paper, who wau present, and exclaimed: "Oh, I'm so glad you are going to print ray article tomorrow." •'Have we something of yours?" asked the editor. "Yes, indeed," replied tho girl. "I mailed it yesterday."

Tho editor smiled and changed the subject but for some unexplained cause tho beauty's effusion did not see the light of the next day. At her breakfast table she found an ominous looking envelope, for which tho servants told her there was six cents extra postage to be paid. Tearing own the massive thing, that most depressing of all inanimate objects, a rejected manuscript, was laid stark and awful before her. On a little dotached slip that fluttered into her lap tho most horrible of all words to tho young newspaper worker burned into her eyes: "Declined with thanks." Still our girls persist In making their fortunes as newspaper writers.

Equestriennes afoot havo become a common sight in New York city, and thoy are to be seen, in theif Variations of the conventional horseback costume, walking to and from the fctttBles around Central park. Thoy look like those heroines which old fashioned novelists ami dramatists used to put in their romances, and who were ever being saved from doadly perils bv the opportuno heroes. But theso Nmv York maidens of tho saddle are more utilitarian. One of them was on a fractious horse, and tho loast pranced, slued, reared, plunged and seemed determined to throw her off. She kept her seat In a most determined manner. At length tho beast gave unmistakable ovidonce that lie was going to lie down and roll over. "Help! liolpi" tho girl cried, showing for tho first time any fright.

It was no jalo and poetic young man who responded, but a burly park policeman, who said as ho seized tho now squatted horso by the rein: "Get oft, miss. Why don't you got ofTf

Hhe seemed strongly fixed in tho saddle, and even when she and tho horse both lay flat sho was inwparable from her seat, "Are you glued fast?" tho officer asked, as ho tugged at her arms. "No—not glued," sho gasped, "only buttouod on."

And indeed she was. Determined not to be thrown by her spirited steed, sho had devised a scheme of fastening herself to tho saddle. But hereafter she will use it only on a horse that cavorts without lying down.

TUE HANDY HAKDBAO.

On the anniversary of your natal day some one gives you a handbag. You never have carried one, and you always thought that you never would. It is a wsak, feminine failing, this being always thxl to a bag. Still, sinthis one has been given to you, you think you will try it St will hold your handkerchief—one's jweket does get out of the way sometimes ami it is a good thing to have one's handkerchief promptly available. Then the bag becomes handy for car fare. It is embarrassing to poke and pry and struggle and exclaim over trying to got at one's purse, usually stranded, like McOinty, in the bottom of the hole your dressmaker calls a pocket. Besides, change is a bother in a poefcethook. It is easier just to make a practice of dropping small money loose in the handbag, so that you will have it •handy and can generally ho sure of finding astray five cent piece or a penny there.

Presently the advantages of tho bag for holding at* extra handkerchief aud "another pair of gloves" occur to you. Is is so handy, if you make up your mind suddenly to go to a matinee, to have decent, gloves ready and a nice clean handkerchief. It will really be a great idea to make a habit of keeping an extra iair of gloves in the handbag. By and by you get In the way of dropping small bundles into the bag. The few yards of niching that you feel so mean about having "sent" you can rwdly take without inconvenience to yourself by just dropping ft into the bag likewise the little book you would not havo bought except that your bag is "so bandy for small things" nod really holds so much, without getting full. Dear met You dont know what you would do without it* though you must get ov«r the habit of patting your half pound of candy in it. It spoils one's glows so to go fishing around a bag f°*" and getting one% fingers all over candy.— New York Letter in Boston Herald.

Historic Houses.

Two historic mansions stand in the town of Ledyard, Conn. One is the Allyn homestead, at Allyn's Point, on tho Thames river, and the other the Rodman Niles mansion, which is situated far back from the banks of the river in tho heart of the town. Both houses figure in the history of the Union, and are in a good state of preservation. A correspondent at New London writes of the Allyn homestead that its exact age is not known. It is said to have been built by Robert Allyn or by one of his sons. Robert Allyn settled at Allyn's Point near tho middle of the Seventeenth century and reared a large family, descendants of whom are now influential in business circles in New York and Chicago. Tho Niles mansion is described as an immense chimneyed pile, standing alone amid huge elm trees over a mile from any human habitation und on tho edge of a forest. It is said to have been erected in 1703. It is painted its original color—the bright red that was so commonly used in New England ft hundred years ago—and the rived chestnut shingles upon its roof and sides are still firmly held by wrought iron nails which were hammered out on a forgo near by in the days when cut nails were unknown.—Exchange.'

A Girl'* Presence of Mlml.

A whole village was thrown into excitement not long ago by an ignorant, uncontrolled yOung mother, who ran screaming into the street, "Jack is bleeding to death! Run for the doctor, quick I"

The father walked the floor in a panic of terror the children cried the neighbors flocked in tho mother went into hysterics, and little Jack was fainting from loss of blood. The "blood spurts" showed that an artery had been severed. His father was trying to plaster up the wound in his arm, when a young girl of sixteen, from the high school, came rusbiug in. She snatched a pillow case off tho bod, cut it into strips and bound them tightly above and below the wound.

The doctor came soon, and simply said: "My dear, you have saved the boy's life. Your knowledge of physiology was as good as mine, in this easel"—Home Magazine.

Our Girls in Public Life.

Thero may bo girls in our stores who are impatient of homo discipline aud anxious to seo the world for themselves, but tho bulk of the daughters of clergymen, doctors, professional men, etc., who seek to find some means of livelihood in the world's hard highway, do it simply because they are compolled.

They havo by no means turned their backs on possible husbands and homes of their own and it is cruel to speak as if their one chance of happiness and true womanhood lay in tho ono direction which seems closed to them.

Work thoy must, or they will starve and there aro scores of girls working now in all our largo cities as journalists, typewriters, artists, proof readers, shorthand clerks, who keep themselves as "unspotted from the world" as if they lived in tho seclusion of a country parsonage.—New York Journal.

Pretty Gabrielle Greeley.

Miss Gabrielle Greeley, daughter of Horace Greeley, who, as a girl of IS, was a famous belle, resides very quietly ou the old farm at Chappaqua. She is about 26 years of age, still very beautiful, but has almost entirely given up society, devoting herself chiefly to charitable work under ritualistic auspices. She bought in the old Greeley homestead, and has since spent much money and time ou the Episcopal church near by. Perhaps no girl in America ever had a better claim to social recognition both at home and abroad than Miss Greeley, whose beauty is of a striking character and whose accomplishments are many. She was the rag© for two seasons in London, but while enjoying the simple pleasures of life cared nothing for its social successes,—Epoch.

She may enter any occupation she chooses, work in any lines she likes, and be certain, not only of the approbation of individuals, but of that of the community in which she live®.

MRS. HARRISON'S DAILY LIFE.

How the President's Wife Spends Her Time in the White House. The routine of the day begins early at the executive mansion. Breakfast is served promptly at half past 3 clock, in the family dining room on the north side of the house, adjoining the conservatory. This is followed by prayers, either the president or Dr. Scott conducting devotions. The family then separate for the day, the president proceeding directly to his room. Mrs. Harrison and the ladies retire to the "living room" of the house, which is not a room at all. It is the north end of the main hall, on the second floor, separated from the office or public portion of the floor by a rather severe, not to say forbidding black walnut partition, half the height of the walls. Mrs. Harrison finds here her mail, which is attended to with promptness and regularity. So far as the work of answering letters can be delegated, it is given over to Mrs. Sanger, the stenographer. But a large portion of her mail Mrs. Harrison answers herself. Many of the letters can be answered by means of a form that has been composed for the purpose.

The consideration of her mail over, Mrs. Harrison receives the superintendent of public buildings and grounds, who is charged with the duty of disbursing the appropriation made for tho maintenance of the executive mansion. With him Mrs. Harrison discusses the needs of the house and her desires, which must be made to conform to the amount of the funds on hand. Many and long are these conferences, and oftentimes they result in a shifting about and repairing of the furniture and fixtures that would astonish some persons who imagine that the life of the lady of the White House is without care and a continual state of bliss.

After this she devotes herself to the domestic branch of tfie establishment in conference with the h6usekeeper. The menu for the day is arranged during this conference, and in consultation with the steward Mrs. Harrison maintains an intelligent supervision over the kitchen, but the stories current in some circles, representing her as devoting much of her time to actual participation in the work of the department, are exaggerations. Although a good cook, she does not find it necessary or desirable to usurp the functions of that individual in tho White House. And so as to the marketing. Having arranged in a general way for tho provision of the day, it is left to the proper person to see that it is procured. Lunch is served at 1:30, but frequently the president is detained by callers, office seekers, or cabinet meetings, and he does not sit down sometimes until an hour later. It is rarely the case that some one is not invited to join in this meal in a wholly informal manner—a cabinet officer with whom the president may thus continue conference, or some friend who is aske^ to extend his stay over the hour for lunch.

In tho afternoon, for an hour or thereabouts, Mrs. Harrison receives friends who como by appointment, and who usually havo some relative or visitor to present Later in the afternoon Mrs. Harrison usually takes a drive, often with tho president, and when not accompanying him she takes Mi's. McKee and tho babies or some friend who may be in the bouse. The variations from this programme will include lessons in china painting, in which art Mrs. Harrison displays rare talent and skill.

Dinner is served at 6:30 o'clock, and, as was tho case at lunch, almost always the family is joined by some friend. President and Mrs. Harrison are plain livers, preferring the dishes of an old Kentucky "aunty" to the more elaborate menu arranged by a French chef.

In the openings out of the "season," the White House is a very quiet place. President Harrison rarely has an opportunity of speuding any time with his family, except at meals, and after dinner he is usually to ba found at his desk again. If Mrs. Harrison is free from any social duty, she utilizes the evening hours by reading. Being fond of a good theatrical or operatic performance, she occasionally graces one of the theatres with her presence, accompanied by two or three friends. The president has little taste for this class of amusement, especially opera, so is seldom seen at these places. Ho is fond of meeting friends in a quiet way, and when Mrs. Harrison is entertaining callers in the evening, he comes down from his room whenever business permits him to do so, and mingles with them in a delightfully informal way.—A. J. Hilf'jrd in Ladies' Houie Journal

Taken at Her Work.

"I was settling down to work," said a book-agent-pestered man yesterday, "when a pretty woman entered my office. No one would suspect that she was a book agent. She placed a volumn in front of me and began to talk. I told her I would not buy the book if I really wanted it 'Never mind,' fid she, gayly. *It won't cost yon anything to look at it.' "A» she desired, I did look at it. I read tbe introduction and chapter It was about 10 o'clock when I opened the book. At 11 o'clock the pret^r book agent had become uneasy.

At 1 o'clock, when she bad marly worn herself out, I laid the book down, and, putting oa my bat and coat, said to the exasperated woman: "That^s a clever book. I regret that I cannot read more of it, bat I must away to dinner.' "She was mad, but she didn't say a word. Grabbing the book she shoved it into her wM and made for tho street."—Boston Globe.

SALAD—A LESSON IN COOKERY*

And, lastly, o'er the flavored compound toss A magic sonp spoon of anchovy sauce. Oh, green and glorious! oh, herbaceous treat!

FEEDING THE CHILDREN

Opinions of Leading Doctors on the Subject of Food for the I»ittle Ones. Next to cleanliness and to fresh air there is nothing more important in the rearing of children of three and over as the proper food and the variety of it Babies are well supplied with general and special diet directions, but it is after the child begins to run about and talk and ask for what it craves from the general table that the vigilance of mothers usually ceases. The little

creafcirrj

has got

past its dreaded "second summer," and of course, the mother reasons, it can get on very well. She then runs between two dangers— either feeding the child with everything on the family table that it cries for, popping a lump of sugar into its mouth when she wants it to be quiet and not disturb other people, or she gives it a too restricted diet. It saves trouble to settle down on one ironclad rule and feed the child forever on one thing, regardless of the point that children, like everybody else, crave some little variety in their food, and always enjoy haying it prettily served up to them.

A pretty plate to eat from, a rosy finger bowl standing by, his own mug and spoon— all these little matters help tho meal along. Dr. Newlin Peirce has taught us that, so far from all need of care in food being done with when the child has cut its teeth, the foods should be provided with especial reference to strengthening the teeth, that need exercise in their way as much as any other of the digestive apparatus. Too much oatmeal porridge is almost as bad as too little, as the tender little teeth require to+re strengthened with exercise upon hard foods. When children are fed too exclusively upon soft foods and spoon foods they lose tho advantages that come from biting into and chewing hard biscuit. The late Dr. N. Archer Randolph recommended oatmeal biscuit because of the sweetness and palatability which the oaten cake developed to the taste by chewing, an entirely different quality from that which is enjoyed in the oatmeal porridge or mush. The child must be taught, however, to ohew long and well, and not to "bolt" large pieces of the biscuit, or the good use of the little grinders will not bo called out.

Dr. Fothergill, the English authority, who has such especial tenderness and sympathy for the people who have to live in towns, in 'the book (republished since his death and prefaced by Dr. B. W. Richardson) also insists on a point frequently overlooked, that the starchy foods given to children aro frequently only half prepared. He does not consider a boiled potato fit food for a child, unless it is afterwards baked in a pudding di6h in the oveu, to fully cook and break up its starchy colls. A boiled potato is said to be "done" in twenty-five minutes, whereas the baked potato, in slower heat, will take npi-iy two hours. Of course the latter has its starch more gradually and entirely cooked. Of tho dangers of the latter way he says: "Starch that has not been properly cooked is not readily dissolved by saliva, but passes on into the stomach unchanged to soak up the gastric juice (which has no solvent action on starch) and thus embarrass the stomach in its' own proper work, the digestion of albuminates."

Por the same reason of giving a larger preparation to the starch (besides having more nutritive quality in its substauce), Fothergill recommends the making of bread from half and half of white flour and the wholemeal of wheat that has been roasted. This makes browner bread, because of having a quantity of the cortical layers of wheat in it, but italso makes more nourishing bread, because the starch in the wheat has been subjected to the softening influences of heat.

Before leaving the subject of potatoes, which are almost universally fed to children, this authority says: "Boil half a dozen medium sized potatoes, mash them thoroughly with pepper, salt, two ounces of butter (two tablespoonfuls) and half a pint of milk put the whole into a pudding dish and set it in the oven for an hour to brown."

Quite a good variety in this is to put less butter to the potatoes, but to add a beaten egg to them, with the milk.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Women as Playwright*.

William Fleischmann, Daniel Frohman's manager: "Yes 'Our Flat' is the first successful farce comedy ever written by a woman. Why can't women write farce comedies! Mrs. Centlivre wrote 'The Wonder.' Mrs. Aphva Belin wrote plays as loose as Wycherly's. But these, I suppose, don't count. You could hardly imagine a woman writing 'The Rag Baby' or 'A Tin Soldier.' There is something too rough in a farce to suit a woman. Yet women laugh the loudest at the absurdities of 'Our Flat.' I suppose it comes home to them. Most of them havo lived in flats. Some of them may unfortunately have had their furniture carted away. They come every night to laugh at the play, but I doubt if they would like to have written it The farce writer must be croeler aud more acrid in his pictures of life than women care to be. There is a great deal of satire in an honest farce, and it is only a woman like George Eliot who dares to be satirical.''—Chicago Tribune.

A Hew Method of Treating Disease.

HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is nevr departure in the treatment of disease. It consists in the collection of 'the specifics used by noted specialists of Europe 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 ciiring catarih was procured, and so ou till these incomparable cures now include disease of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness, rheumatism, and nervous debility.

This new method of -'one remedey for one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all suffferers, many of whom have experienced the ill effects,. and thoroughly realize the absurdity of the claims of patent medicines which are guaranteed to cure every ill 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.
