WOMAN AND HOME.

THERE IS A KIND OF KITCHEN ECONOMY WHICH IS WASTEFUL.

Education and Motherhood—The Care of the H*lr-A Stingy Man's Wife—She Got Ahead of Him—In the Drawing Boom, the Kitchen and Nursery.

"Many a young wife," said a motherly woman the other day. "would find the wheels of her household moving much more smoothly if she would spend a little less money on the furnishing of her drawing room and devote it instead to supplying her kitchen with labor saving appliances and plenty of utensils. Economy in kitchen utensils may easily be pushed too far, and if there is another place where a woman may be more readily excused than another for extravagance it is just there. "To have to stop in the middle of making a dessert in order to clean a saucepan or a kettle in which tbe soup had been prepared, because you have not another, is folly when soup kettles can be had for twenty-five cents each. To have your kitchen knives of such poor metal that they will not stay sharp, or to let a good knife remain dull because you think you cannot afford to spend ten cents to have it sharpened, is a real waste of strength out of all proportion to the saving. To have nothing by which you can measure your ingredients accurately, because it costs more to buy a set of weights or a graduated glass measure than to trust to guess work and an old tea cup, has spoiled many a good dish that cost just as much and has brought humiliation on many a good cook. "To scrape your porridge pot with a spoon because you will not buy a patent pot scraper for twelve cents wears out ten spoons to one pot scraper, and the hired girl invariably selects your best spoon for that purpose. Sifting the coal ashes is such a dirty business as it is usually performed, and the servant kicks against it so vigorously, that the most economical housekeeper soon abandons it in despuir. A patent ash sifter that allows no dust to escape and preserves all the half burned coal will pay for itself in one winter and last five. A cheap refrigerator can be had for one-third the cost of a good one of tho same sizo, but if you buy it your ice bill will be twico as large. "There is hardly anything in the kitchen of which there are not two varieties, the cheap aud the deal*, and the result of the use of either is generally its exact opposite in actual cash. But in comfort to one's self and to ono's husband and children, a saving of time, temper, brain worry and back ache, they repay their cost many times over every week."—Now York Tribune.

The Caro of the Hair.

Actresses aro the only class of women who need to wash their heads. They livo in a powdered atmosphore on tho stage, the injurious effects of which nothing but soap and warm water will avert. Ordinarily water is bad for tho head it chills the scalp and rots the hair. I havo oustoiners who have not put water on their hair since they were children. One lady, with a suit of the most beautiful black hair I can recall, told me she had not washed hor head since her wedding day, and that was thirteen year* ago.

But the hair must be kept clean, for all that, I know nothing better than a good brush, which, if well applied, will invigorate and cleanso tho head and give a gloss to the hair that nothing else will secure. I consider the comb a most deleterious instrument un* less handled correotly.

To begin at the head, as most people do in combing, is to tear out or break the hair. The proper way is to begin at the ends. Get the tangles out first, and ascend byidegrees. Tho tresses smoothed out should then be di-' Tided into three or four parts and combed in Motions. Iu using a lino tooth comb never drag it through tho length of the hair unless you are anxious to become bald.

The dandruff is not in tho hair it is in the scalp, and the scalp only should be combed or scraped. By carefully dividing the hair the head can bo bared aud combcd. A little practice will onablo a maid to glide tho comb out of the hair, removing much of the dandruff and dust with it. What remains in tho hair can bo brushed off. It is difficult for an individual to clean her own head. The duty should be performed by some one.

A very excolleut shampoo can bo prepared at home that will keep tho head in a healthy condition. Put into a toilot bottle a mixture containing the following ingredieuts: One pint of water, flvo cents' worth of powdered Castile soap, two tablespoonfuls of alcohol, half tho quantity ot borax and tho yolk of two eggs. Tho egg contains iron, which will bo absorbed the soap and borax will cleanse the Bkiu and the alcohol supply a sufficiency of heat to prevent cold.—Interview in New York World.

Stinginess Personified.

Lately a lady shopping in one of the large dry goods stores on Broadway, noticed a couple also shopping. The man, evidently tho husbaud of his companion, had a very pompous and condescending manner. He joked with the pretty clerks and hurried up tho cash boy. They were buying a bonnet, or rather he was buying the bonnet. She woro a handsome hat trimmed in lovely plumes, and all ot her apparel was handsome, but he seemed to view her as a possession

Sonnet,

urcbased with his money. Ho chose tho tho material, everything. She stood by timidly listening and approving his choice, thou he paid for it although sho timidly suggested that it should bo sent home

O. D. so she could try it before settling for it. Mr. M. must pay for it himself. Then they went to the glove department and he ordered some gloves out, and while the girl was fitting a pair he looked at his watch aud remembered an appointmeut for which he was already five minutes lata,

He seemed very much provoked because the girl did not have the gloves fitted on his wife's hand. Finally, after much discussion, be put tho price of the gloves on the counter and started off. Bis wife flushed crimson, and then looking as if she were making an unpardonable request said: "Oh, Henry, can you plesse leave me car fare!" Hp frowned, then searched in his pockets, and could not find less than a quarter of a dollar. He tried to get that changed, but finding that time was flying, he gave it to har sating, "You can g»t it changed on tbe car and hand the rest to ma in tho morning for my car far*." Tbe very poorest shop girl in that store was glkd she was not that man's wife, although bis wife wore silk* and fine laces, and lived in a handsome home.—Oor. St. LouU Post* Dispateh.

Xdmetloii No* Opposed to Motherhood. In America, in "a report given of the fam0y eoeditiotts ot oco hundred and thirty

Bubsequent effect upon the health may be judged when it is found that twelve years after the graduation one youne woman, ranking at the head of her class, Wthe mother of six vigorous children two others, earnest students, have each a family of five, and a number of others have four children.

No correspondence has been held with married classmates living at a distance. These mentioned are personally known to be pothers in the fullest sense, and constitute striking contradictions to the claim that education ha3 an injurious effect upon woman. "But," It may be objected, "these are exceptionally healthy women." Undoubtedly, but if the training has any influence at all, it should make them fall slightly below the standard of the preceding generation, whereas, in several instances, they improved upon the record of their mothers, not only in general health, but in the condition and size of their families. —Miss Alice B. Tweedy in Popular Science Monthly.

She Got Ahead of Hisi.

Woman, commercially considered, is scaling the heights abreast of man. That is what a Pittsburg drummer learned in Cleveland, much to his discomfiture, and be has not quit telling and complaining about it yet. He went into a house that bandies engine supplies and fixtures. He was followed by a petite, rather pretty lady, jauntily dressed. He admired her' on sight, and thought that she must surely be the progMretor's daughter.

He forgot business in his extreme cdnsidsration for the observance of good manners, And politely stepped aside to allow her to address her father before he undertook to get an order out of Mm He was a little astonished to see her hand the old gentleman a card, completely dazed when she began to talk steam gauges, the very things he was filing had almost a stroke of apoplexy when she took an order, and wished he was dead when she looked at him as she tripped out with a mischievous smile, which said plainly that she knew what he was there for, and she had got in ahead of him.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Double Pay and No Lecture.

A well known citizen adopted a novel expedient the other night to secure peace. It was incumbent upon him to attend to some business down town, and he promised hia wife that he would positively be back at 8:80. There would be no slip up, no accidents or mishaps, no "ifs" or "buts"—there could be no mistake about it—he would be home at 8:80 prompt. His wife looked a little doubtful. "Will you give me a

dollar

hour you are later than that?"'

for every

-'-bed.

"Donel" he exclaimed ot #11 about it. As he groped his way ck he suddenly bethought himse. Of course his wife was up. dear, I'm two hours and a half f5. Double pay. Now, don't sa: The lady saw that she could not 1 efuse to abide by the contract, now that she wouldn't have taken curtain lecture which she had and committed to memory forth —St. Louis Republic. f,

Dremmaking as a Pro-

While tho lot of a dressmaker ...., prentice is not an enviable one, there are lew trades for women that offer such prizes as making clothes for other women. Tho chief drewmaker of a Bond street establishment will command a salary of £260 to £800 a year. What is more, the supply is not equal to the demand. A good head woman will always have a dozen places open to her if she leaves a situation. Naturally this encourages an independence of spirit that is often fatal to long continuance in one place. A chief band's work is confined to cutting out, overlooking the other women and conferring with the designer. The designer is the rock over which most of them split, for if he wants too many alterations the dressmaker rebels. The hours of a chief hand are not heavy, and no Paris education is necessary, as many suppose. If French ideas are needed a Frenchwoman is Imported. The best houses prefer an English hand who is thoroughly English.—Pall Mai' Qazette.

Elegant Trifling at Dinner.

Another innovation which involves a good deal of elegant trifling at table has beeu introduced into fashionable bouses in Paris during the progress of that sometimes dreary part of the dinner called "dessert." This cousists In tbe practice of placing on the table small receptacles in silver, rather bluntly called murmitee, or "pots." The marmites are carefully covered, and may contain almonds, nuts, cakes, or any other tiny kickshaws of the sort. The elegant trifling comes fat when tho guests, brimful of mystery as to the contents of their respective receptacles, go through a process of exchange and barter, each discovery being saluted with observations of a more or less spirited character. Polite badinage is the rule when a guest has exclfouged his well filled marinite for a comparatively empty one, or received from a fair neighbor a "pot" replete with rare delicacies «n troc for his own relatively valueless assortment of sweets.—Cor. London Telegraph.

Giving Shape to Feet.

Every one, but especially children, should wear properly fitting shoes, no matter how commosi their material. .. They should be neither too large nor too small, and should have low, fiat heels, that must be promptly ^righted" as soon as they begin to wear to one side. If the toes of tho foot show a tendency to overlap they should be rubbed with the hands once or twice each day aud if this care be given when the curving commences it will, as a rule, prove sufficient to correct any irregularities of this nature. If a uail is wayward in its growth, trim it only lightly at the alliag corner, but fully at tho opposite cormr. If both comers grow too deeply into tbe flesh, clip them carefully and lightly, and then scrape the center of the nail from the tip to near tbe root until it is thin and flexible. This process seldom fails to correct refractory nails—provHcd* of course, they are aot neglected too long.—Chicago Mail.

Women

elers—to be secured in this city, and, strange as it may seem—and yet why should it be anything strange?—one of the best, if not the very best, is a woman. She will not work for less than $100 a week, and she has no trouble in finding constant employment at that figure. She is a splendid colorist and Is full of suggestions as to designs."-—New York Times.

Some Carious Marriage Lawi.

The chentlo, or present given at the betrothal by the bride's father to the bridegroom's father, is not to exceed one rupee and seven suparis and betel nuts. The marriage chentlo payable to the bridegroom's father may be one rupee and shall not exceed 100 rupees. The value of the cocoanuts distributed at the marriage procession is not to exceed ten rupees, and the same limit is fixed on the value of the mosalu, or present by the bride's maternal relation# Tbe payment at the ceremony fchen the bridegroom touches with his fingers his mother-in-law's dress must not go beyond two rupees. The number of dinner parties given by the bride's family is not to be more than five, and the number of guests at each not more than twenty-five. The marriage party going to the bride's village are not to spend more than thirty rupees, and when the bridegroom is invited to a social evening at bis father-in-law's house he is not to be paid more than two rupees nor to take with him more than five raeo.—Times of India.

Training of Girls and Boys.

Buskins says—and it is one of his wisest aphorisms—that a girl can not be "hammered into shape." She must be allowed to grow as a flower or a tree grows, while a boy seems to come up straighter for a certain amount of hardship and severity. Nor is this a fanciful distinction. Men and women are not alike, but complementary. The man, whose work in the world is to combat and to subdue, is by blows made stronger and more firm In his principles, while with the woman it is quite otherwise. Blows, hammering, simply crush her, or twist her out of shape, or harden and drive her inward upon herself. She must be judiciously let alone. Mind, I do not say she must grow up without discipline or training—far from it! But the hands must be gentle, the touch must be wise, and she must be allowed to develop in her own way.—Olive Thorns Miller. j®®

A lady who can afford to erect glass bouses or rent them should by all means devote her energies to the growth of choice flowers for cutting nothing pays so well, and, though the initial expense is great and the firing no light matter where coal Is dear, she will save a good deal iu the labor department, for there will be scarcely any work that it is physically impossiblo for her to perform herself, and no&e that cannot be performed by intelligent lads under her supervision, provided, of course, that she knows her bttsiiMW.—Wotnasft World.

Bow to Treat a Friend. fti

Your friend can think you the most unselfish girl in the world, but he must not show bis own selfishness by expecting you to devote your evenings exclusively to him, ignoring those who are at home. Let him come in and be one of them—there's a dear five minutes when he can speak to you, when he can kiss you on the lips that he knows are only the gates to sweet, pure speech when he can whisper the lovely nothings that mean so much to yo'u both. Then, too, don't let him feel that he must give up all his friends for you don't accept valuable presents from him, and don't assume an air of proprietorship with him. Tell him nothing about your family affairs, for the secrets of the household do not even belong to the man you are goiug to marry.—Ladies' Home Journal.

The Queen's Bread. fol

The queen's partiality for Viennese and French bread runs into all sorts of shapes. There are long French loaves and twists and rolls, and the Viennese bread is shaped into all sorts of curves and twists. There is one roll made like a little manakin. This is supplied for the edification and amusement of the queen's little grandchildren when they sit at her majesty's table. The queen is always supplied with this bread when at B$$feingbam palace. Her baker is Mr. S. Potro*ywalski, a Polish refugee, in whom the prince consort took a great interest. This fanoy bread is only supplied for the queen's table for the rest of the household the paler* ba^ar bakes. Some of the larger loaves suppUt-d the queen oost tenpence each.—PaLl Mall Qazette. fpi

Women Who Are Admtrek.

It is not the fairest woman that arouses the deepest admiration not the richest not the most faultlessly attired or most perfect in womanly graces and accomplishments. It is the woman, young, middle aged or old, who refrains from opening the car window at her side the woman who, knowing that the passengers at the back will suffer from the draught, will endure undue warmth or loosen or lay aside her wraps rather than inflict discomfort upon others. Such women are rare. So are perfect pearls and flawless diamonds. —Home Magazine.

Not Boil Ton* Food.

Black for Young and Old

A woman under twenty or over fifty can wear black well. Between those limits she should avoid it. Women wear it, thinking it makes the skin look white. A woman has a black evening gown. She looks at her neck, at her arms above her black gloves, and thinks how fair and white they look. Vary true. But at the same time, every line and wrinkle in her face is accentuated.

A TALE OF OLD JAPAN.

In the first half of the Seventeenth century Kotsuke-no-Suke was the lord of Soma, a rich agricultural district containing 136 villages. Kotsuke-no-Suke was a hard, grasping landlord, who oppressed his peasants by heavy taxes until they ere reduced to the last extremity of poverty. Year after year the wretched farmers petitioned their lord, through the village mayors, to have their burdens lightened, but without avail. Being a member of the shogun's cabinet, Kot-guke-no-Suke spent the greater part of the year in Yeddo, where he maintained a private palace and a host of retainers. "flis extravagance gave rise to much comment in the capital, but few of the haughty nobles who frequented his entertainments knew by what means the lord of Soma procured the vast sums of money necessary to support suoh lavish magnificence,

In the fall of cne year 1648 the farmers dwelling on the estate of Kotsuke-no-Suke assembled together to devise measures for their relief. That year the taxes had been heavier than ever before and scores of families were threatened with starvation during the winter. The stoutest hearted among them were filled with despair at the apparent hopelessness of their situation. Sogoro, the mayor of one of the villages and himself a farmer, had been throughout all their vicissitudes the stanch friend of the down trodden peasants. He now advised them to draw up a petition to the shogun's cabinet and then to select a committee to go up to Yeddo and present it to that body. When the evil doings of their lord were known to bis fellow councilors their upbraidings and his own wounded pride might shame him into mercy. Sogoro's plan was adopted, and he was one of the number chosen to go to Yeddo to present the memorial to the cabinet. Knowing the dangers that attended his mission Sogoro, on the eve of his departure, oalled his family together and said "I am going to Yeddo, and it may be that I shall never return, for it is hard to say how 1 shall be treated by those in power* I am willing, however, to give my life for the good of our suffering fellow tenants. Let jos therefore drink a cup of wine together, for it may be that you shall see my face no more. If I die, mourn not over my fate—weep not for me."

Sogoro and his companions went to Yeddo, and there they soon learned of the riotous living of their spendthrift lord, and they wept when they reflected that all his wanton luxury was bought with the life blood of their famishing friends at Soma. In a few days they had an opportunity of presenting their petition to Lord Kuze, a member of the cabinet, and they all felt elated that the great nobleman had condescended to listen to their grievances and to accept their memorial.

The action of Kotsuke-no-Suke's tenants created no little stir in Yeddo, and many observations upon that nobleman and his style of living were made that could scarcely be called complimentary. But it

does

A great obstruction to improvement in the art of cooking is the almost universal misconception, that the finer cuts of meat are more nutritious than tbe coarser portions, coupled with an almost universal prejudice among working people against stewed food. This prejudice is doubtless due to the tasteless quality of boiled meat boiling toughens each of the finer fibers, and deprives tbe meat al most of its distinctive flavw.—Atkins Art of Cooking.

not do for people living in

glass houses to throw stones. All the members of the shogun's cabinet had at one time or another been guilty of oppressing their own peasants, and it woiild be extremely awkward for them now to sit in judgment upon Kotsuke-no-Suke. So it was decided to return the petition to the complainants. Accordingly Sogoro received a summons to appear at the residence of Lor** Kuze. There he was met by two councilors, who handed him the ill starred memorial, saying:

"A short time ago you had the audacity to thrust this petition into the hands of Lord Kuze. By his extraordinary clemency he forgives your offense, but beware that you do not again presume upon his lordship's forbearance, for ill will it fare with you." "His lordship's censure ia just," humbly responded Sogoro. "But, oh, my lords! this action of ours is not hasty or ill considered. Year after year have we suffered untold hardships, until now we. and our friends are without even the necessaries of life. Therefore have we presented this petition. I pray you, lords, consider our case vouchsafe to help ua that we may live. Our gratitude to you shall know no bounds." "Your request la a just one," replied &e councilors, when tbey had heard the words of Sogoro, "but your memorial cannot be received."

Disheartened beyond measure 8ogost sought out his companions and acqa&bx*ed them with tbe result of their eftorta. It was a gloomy evening which the pnma men spent together, discussing •irfth tearful voices the desperate extremity to which tbe failure ot their pkm had reduced themselves and tbeir friends. At last Sogoro said: •There is still one thing left for as to do we can appeal to oor lord's master, tbs ahogon. 1 know it Is & capital of* imm for a copamoosr to app«»A hH v-v- -v.. •.

majesty, yet, for the sake of my suffering brethren, I shall sacrifice myself that their wrongs may be taade known and happily righted. On the morrow, therefore, do you all, except six men, return to Soma and tell our poor friends to have stout hearts, for there is yet hope for them."

Sogoro had from the first been recognized as the leading spirit of the enterprise, and

hi3

-iT

I remember, I remember Where I was used to swing. And thought the air must rush as fresh

companions now made

haste to follow out his suggestions. The intrepid farmer and his six associates drew up anew memorial setting forth their grievance in a plain, straightforward manner and earnestly appealing for redress.

Shortly after, while the shogun, Iyemitsu, was on his way to TJyeno to worship at the tombs of his ancestors, Sogoro contrived to break through the troop of armed retainers that were escorting his majesty, and thrust the petition into the hands of the shogun. The daring farmfer was seized and hurried ©ff to prison. Iyemitsu was a just ruler and gave the peasants' memorial his careful attention. The result of it all was that Kotsuke-no-Suke was ordered to reduce his tenants' taxes to a proper amount, and to return to them the money he had wrongfully deprived them of.

The lord of Soma was a very angry man, but, though he might rage and vow vengeance upon the heads of his tenants, he had to obey the orders of his chief. And thus relief came at last to the long suffering peasants.

But, alas for poor Sogoro, the irrevocable law of the nation pronoanced his offense deserving of death, and he was turned over to his legal lord for execution. In feudal Japan the nobility held the power of life and death over their peasant vassals, and now the cruel Kot-suke-no-Suke, thirsting for vengeance, determined to destroy the whole family of Sogoro. In vain his tenants, his samurai, his councilors, and even the princes of the surrounding country besought the lord of Soma to be merciful the bloody tyrant was inexorable. Sogoro and his wife were condemned to be crucified, and their three sons, aged 7, 10 and 13 respectively, were ordered to be beheaded in the presenoe of their parents.

On the day of the execution all the inhabitants of the 186 villages of Soma assembled to bid Sogoro and his wife farewell and to encourage them with their presence and prayers.

"Well said, wife," responded .^^uro, gayly. "I am happy because I have attained my heart's desire. Our petition was successful had I 500 lives, and could I 500 times assume this shape of mine, I would die 500 times to redress the wrongs of our people."

Then the executioner, taking his spear, thrust it into the side of O Man and into the side of her husband, and both died there in the sight of the sorrowing peasants. And Kotsuke-no-Suke's chief councilor, when all was over, came and knelt down before the dead body of the farmer and said: "Although you were but a peasant you saved your brethren. You bruised your bones and crushed your heart for their sakes. Honors shall yet be paid to your spirit, and you shall be canonized a* a saint you shall become a tutelar deity among the people of Soma."

And so it came to pass. The farmers of Soma made the grave of Sogoro a place of prayer, and gradually came to look upon him as divine. Finally, a temple arose in his honor, and he was at length duly canonized as a Buddhist Baint.—W. C. Kitchin in New York Ledger.

Mr, E. H. Strykie of Australia, while at the Leland hotel, said the people ©f that continent are in need of metal furniture. He has been to England to secure school desks and seats of light metal which will be durable and cheap, but neither in England nor in America has he been able to get*what ho wants. He says the pest of Queensland is the white ant, against the ravages of which sheet iron roofing and tin covered chairs are the only protection thus far devised. The ants eat wood of every description, boring the doors and house rafters until they are honeycombed, tables, bedsteads and bureaus suffering similarly. Mr. Strykie thinks a metal furniture factory which could supply these things at a prioe permitting them to be shipped long distances would have a large trade on the Australian continent.—Chicago News.
