WOMAN AND HOME.

/rr J-A? *N INOEFI SOMETHING WHfOM MAKES WOMAN'S CHARM., „.

Beyond beauty, cleverness, wit, attainI meota, beyond any exulowmeaS.'W'luc-fl can be given to a woman, is tbe simple and indeflna-

Dls attribute which we call charm. It Is impossible to analyze its compouent parts, and equally bo to write a prescription in avoirdupoisor apothecary weight-the resultant precipitate of which shall compose this best of the Creator'* gifts to woman.

Eve had it, we fancy, and Miriam, Roth and the queen of Sheba aud it belonged too, no doubt, to Jezebel, the infamous but splendid and surpassingly brave princess, before wftom even Elijah'# courage quailed. Sappho Jr»»H charm, so had Cleopatra and Beatrice End Rosalind. Mary of Scotland bewitched /men's hearts not less by her coaqueriug charm (than by her wonderful loveliness and dauntless daring, while Elizabeth of England— 1^ mauy sided, strong aud rwolute.withaman'a hear: uadtfr her woman's corsage—bad the fatal ck/tct of lacking ckurj-j. ,s^f Tlwro iu every conmiunity, la yf very chuidj, who, with no apparent effort, aptiVtoUj u-i uearUi and eajoy a popularity pwhich others vainly envy, continuing to please till their latest day, for age eaunot wither nor custom stale the infinite variety of a really charming woman. A rose is a rose, and a cabbage is a cabbage, and each bat its place but nobody claims charm for a /oabbage, though it take the prize at a country fair, hlle the simplest rosebud on the bush by thfi wayside challenges the world of flower# with, this royal distiaction.

What Is it? A trick of manner, of speech, a lifting of the eyebrow, a drooping of the lip, an air of gentle breeding, a fine grained courtesy! These may bo part of it, but charm to something deeper. The pretty waitress at your elbow may possess it, while It is denied to lit-r mistress, the daughter, perhaps, of a hundred earls, Whatever else it is, be assured it is pure womanliness, and bat belonged to the fair mix nlnco that far off day when the sons of God behekl tbo daughters of men, and beholding, loved them.—Harper's Bazar.

Duluty liouivkitvptiii.

Not only does the Preach woman buy the material for her dinner, but helps to cook it when bought. In that marvelous place, a French kitchen, whore two or three Httle holes in a stove cook such delioatn dishes, and perform Bueh 'culinary feats as our great roaring ooal flras have no conception of, sho flits about like a fairy, creating magical moines out of raw material of the most ordinary description. Yes, though a lady born and bred, refined, elegant and agreeable in society, a LkJ1o in her way, yet sho does not think it beneath her dignity to lighten the household expenses by practical economy and activity.

The dinner of Fmioh family Is cheap and simple. There la always a soup, the meat of the RUswpan sometiiuos, if not strict in expenditure another plate of meat generally, two vegetables, dressed and oaten BrtjMirateJy, and sometimes, not always, a sweot dish if not that, a little fruit, such As may be the cheapest and ripest in the season. Hut there is very little iu each tbing, and It is rather In arrangement than in material that they appear rio-'i.

The French may be a trifle epicurean in their tas.Uifi, but they «vre not gourmands. They spend little lu eating and they eat Inferior thiugs, though their' cookery is father a get en co than a mere accident of civilisation. At home the great aim of the French is to save, and auy self sacrifice that leads to this result is cheerfully undertaken, more especially In eating than the mere luxury of idleness.

No French woman will spend a cent to save herself trouble. She would rather work like a dray horse to buy an extra yard of ribbon or a new pair of gloves than Uo ou the softest sofa In the world in placid, fine ladyiwn, with crumpled gtuizo or bare hands.—Waverly Magaeine.

School of Method*.

The department devoted to the preparation of girls, who liave left school, for the duties erf Wives, mothers, nurses, housekeepers and servant* was next visited, aud in this important department of the Pestalowi-Froebel-Haus over forty young women from the various ranks of life were gathered. It was under the special patronage of the crown princess, whose own daughters were its first pupils. Dhe lady who directed tbo teaching of washing and ironing kept a close eye to the perfection of the work, whick Is all classified. At one time table linen was washed and ironed properly at another tbo best methods of treating dish towels are taught at another the washing of flannels and the doing up of prints and ginghams at another clear starching, the cleansing of laoes.and flue material*, aud so on, until the whole round of a family laundry has been scientifically taught and enforced by practice

This fact has been alow to find recognition in country, when devotion to women Is a dominant character of all intelligent Americans. More generally than elsewhere are tfce women of America accorded equal advantages in the battle of lite in all Gelds of labor.

Sat in all efforts to secure that most desirableof poesearicm,eound health, the American woman is glided fewer opportonitiee than men. She takes len exercise, ber clothing is leas calculated to leave the vital organs unhampered, and She Is only beginning to indulge in ont door exercise, in boating, bicycling, tennis, etc. At bast, her time of muscular eoergy is during tbe out door months. During the f«6t of the year she hibernates, in so far as muscular development Is concerned, while her brother can keep his wmmtr gained muscular tissues from growing flaccid by club swinging, dumbbell exercise and other doings at a public gymnasium. School drill and calisthenics accomplish something for the girls, but not enough. They rtiould have a gymnasium of their own, or have certain hours of their own at a gymnasium for both sexes. There are too many pale girls, dyspeptic girls and sallow girls.—Pittsburg Bulletin. ^y.

Tbe Box Didn't Malte Change.

f,

A lady, nicely dressed, boarded a short line car at tbe corner of Carton and T« ut i» aureate, to ride to the city. She flashed ohtof her pocket, which was concealed where in* men could ever find it, a beautiful little pur*", and extracting a dime, she refused the proffered aid of a fellow passenger to put her far3 in the box. She walked to the forward end of the car and dropped the dime Into the opening of tbe box. Then she stood there with an expectant look on her face and one hand on the top of the box. Whether she expected tbe box would open and band out a nickel in change in about the same manner as practiced by a cabinet "speak easy" the other passengers could only guo«s. The driver told her she would have to stand tbe loss of the nickel unlets the car took on another passenger.

At the Pittsburg end of tbe bridge another passenger got on. He wore a slight blonde muetache and a self satisfied uir of "mashing" anything in sight as he tripped past tho young lady. As he asked the driver for two nickels in exchange for a dime, the mule puncher told hiui of the young lady's predicament. Of course, he was only too glad tc pay her back the five cents and smiled sweetly as be handed .over the amount. With a "you-bet-I'm-in-it" expression, he turned around and dropped the other nickel in. tho Ikh. Then he discovered that he was out a vickel, and the smile* of the passengers mado him go out on the plRtform and commute with himself. The iudividual wbo enjoyed tbe joke the moat was the young lady who caused his misfortune.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

IJMSO Worth Ov«r 918&.000. The grandest of all the pieces is an overdress made for the Empress Eugenie, and completed at tho time of the fall of the empire, bo that it never came into her poeseosion. It represents tho fluest skilled labor of a large corps of expert point lace makers for a period of many yerrs, and is valued at $100,000. The dimensions are yards in length, 54 inches in width, and its weight is only lh}4 ounces.

At the Paris Universal exposition this was awarded the first prixe. The material is a niarvelously wrought combination of the finest point lace, comprising Aloncon, point do gaze and Venice point. On the groundwork of its voluminous folds is a bewildering array of sprigs, medallions, tulips, lilies, roses and rose leaves and running vines, tie minutest detail of each and all of which bear*, the most critical inspection. To oonnoisseurs It is indeed a tiling of beauty and tireless admiration. To tho feminine mind it is a -vision of loveliness, which, once seen, never can be forgotten.

Several millionaires have tried to purchase this dress, but it is not for sale. An ardeni admirer of Mrs. Langtry is reported to have made aa offer of $188,000 for it, but without avail.—New York Star.

llappy, but Not Beautiful.

In my life I have known many women well. Among them is a fair majority of what the truly appreciative would call happy, for which I thank God, as it has helped me to take, on the whole, a hopeful view of life, as well ns of human nature. Now, are these women, blessed, as many of them are, with devoted husbands, cheerful homes, cultivated society and leisure for the exorcise of any spcclal talent they may possess, beautiful women With one or two exceptions, no. Indeed, more than a few of them are positively plain, if only feature is considered, while from the rest I can single out but two or three whose faces and figures conform to any of the recognized standards of physical perfection. But they are loved, they are honored, they are deferred to. While not eliciting the admiration of every passer by, they have acquired through the force, tho sweetness or originality of their character the appreciation of tho*e whose appreciation confers hmior and happiness, and consequently their days pass iu an atmosphere of peace and good will, which is as far above the delirious adaiiratiou aceordixi to tho simply beautiful as the placid shiuiug of the sunbeam is to the phenomenal blaze of an evanescent flame.— Anna Katherine Green.

Mr*. A»tor*» Black Pearls.

It is not often that women have admirable jewels and are not aware of the fact. When the late Mrs. John Jacob Atitor died she left all her personal property, including her splendid collection of jewels, to her husband. When the lain John Jacob Astor was abotft starting for Europe in 188P, be sent the precious casket of jewels as a gift to his daugh-t«r4n-law, Mrs. WUliam Waldorf Astor.

Mrs. Astor, who was in town only to say pood-by, seut the box to a safe deposit company unopened, and then returned to Newport.

During the summer she saw a woman at the Casino wearing black pearls. "Oh, IM like to hare some blaek pearkr she exclaimed. "But you have all the Astor jewela* "Yes, but I've never opened the jewel case and don't know what's in It," 'WbafcF gasped a half doeec women in various stages of collapse. "WdJ, you just send for it at once."

The ca$« was d«ly forwarded, and therein, sure enough, Ww tbe«eMi*ted Astor black pearls, a set unequal^ in tbe world forsLte, color ahd 8ymin9try.--New York Letter.

The Use of Ifareotles Among Women I could givp you a formidable list of narcotics which women in all ranks of society are daily using: Chloral, chlorodyne etfher, chloroform (less used by women here than in America), sal volatile, eau de Cologne, and soon. I have bad patients who had habituated themselves to two ounces (90Q grains) of chloral as their daily allowance. Twenty grains of chloral, I may say, is a, full medicinal dose. I have treated patients who have been in the habit of swallowing eight ounces of chlorodyne a jlay and I have known ladies who could take a pint of chlorodyne in the twenty-four hours. Both tea and coffee*, are ttsed to excess" I found a patient insensible in her room,one day who had drank nothing but tea. But she had consumed a pound of tea in the day. Tobacco, in the form of cigars as well as cigarettes, is constantly resorted to by women. Thirty cigarettes a day has been the allowance of softie of my patients.—Dr. Norman Kerr in St. James Budget.

A Kitchen Necessity.

A good range or cooking stove lightens woman's work so much that every kttchen should contain one though tho parlor be unfurnished or the bouse uipainted, have a safe, reliable stove with which te do the family cooking. I doubt if therois a man living who would bother with an implement as trying as a burned out, cracked cooking steve that takes three times tho fuel it should to heat the oven hot enough to bake. A cooking stove should be roomy it is a mistake to buy a Btnall stove. A range with six lids, large oven, elevated ^arming oven and other conveniences is the joy of a housewife's heart. A stove with four lids, revolving top, reservoir, will do. There are many good kinds made. Stoves and ranges should have large fire boxes. When wood is burned in winter, chunks and small logs can be burned therein at night if the drafts are properly regulated ^he fire will keep until morning.•MJood Housekeeping.

Foreign Women in the East.4* A French lady, who was the first.European female to visit the town of Nim-Dinh, Tonkin, made a great sensation when she first appeared in publlo. Tbe fair sex of the town gathered around, and their comments gave great entertainment to the Europeans who understood them. The ladies regarded the white woman's blue eyes as the height of ugliness. They could not understand the bustle at all, but formally decided that it was a natural deformity, which, however, excited a fire of pleasantries instead of commiseration, and when they saw the young woman take the arm of her husband and walk away her conduct was regarded as simply scandalous, and there was a cherus of inter jectioos exactly equivalent to •our word shocking. Like Leigh Hunt's fish, they thought the sight of a man and womaa on the street "linked fin in fin" a most unseemly spectacle,—Exchange.

Antiquity of Faeo Painting. The custom of painting the faee was brought to Gaul and Germany by the Rontons. A few oenturies later 100 different kalves for tbe oomplexion were sold in the German market. In modern times France has been the great manufacturer and consumer of cosmetics. In England, too, the use of them has been general. In 1BTO the English parliament found it expedient to consider a bill to the effect that "all wemen, without distinction as to age or rank, maidens as well as widows, who should deceive tbe male snbjeots of his majesty and mislead them into marriage by uieans of paint, salve, beauty water, false teeth, false Spanish wool, corsets, or padded hips, should be punished under tbe provisions of the law against sorcery, and the marriage should be declared null.

Belleek ware is the latest erase of china collectors. It is manufactured in a little Irish town, is of a rich ivory tint, and is so fine and light that a faint wind might blow it away. A cup and saucer of this ware carries out the Idea of a cactus in delicate leaf like design of the saucer, and the cup shaped like the blosBom with a prickly handle. This ware fires well and brings out delicacy and richness of tint exquisitely. The housewife who owns it, however, must see to it with her own dainty fingers, for the best of servants cannot be trusted with such paper like china.

hospitable roof that you should tradge backward and forward to church all Sunday, with intervals of pious meditation. We never go ourselves more than once.

But I had quickly made up my mind that I had better go. Indeed, I liked going to church and, even if I had not acquired the tasto already, the dullness of the Sunday before—which I had spent in the drawing-room with Mrs. Rayner and Haidee would have made me love it. So said I should like to go, and, as there was no afternoon service at Geldham. Mr. Ravner told me the way to church at Guffingborough, the next parish, which was not far off.

It was a sultry grimmer afternoon, but to be alone and out of the somber atmosphere of the Alders was a relief, [passeda park, among the trees of which I saw a big square white house an American chair stood on the grass in the shade, and a young man in a light suit, with cravat hanging loose, was lying at full length in it. He had a cigar in his mouth, a book in his hand and on a rustic table was a half empty glass containing some liquid with ice in it. I only glanced that way but recognized the gentleman as Mr. Laurence Beade. He saw me, I think, for he started up and coughed but! was looking the other way, and I thought best not to hear him. As I turned the angle of the park, I glanced again at the white house, and I saw, with a little surprise, Mr. Eeade running toward it.

I got to church in yery good time, and, being given a seat in the chancel, I could watch the country people as they filed in and just before service began, Mr. Laurence Reado, having exchanged his light suit for churchgoing attire, strode up the middle aisle and banged the door of his pew upon himself. And, remembering how cool the iced drink looked, and how cozy the arm-chair appeared, I thought it did him credit to come to church the second time.

The sky had grown very dark by the time service was over, and the oocar sional rolling of distant thunder threatened a storm. It was nearly half an hour's walk to the Aiders my way jay where there was little or no shelter, and my umbrella was a small one. However, there was nothing to be done but to otart. 1 had left all chance of shelter behind me, when the rain came pouring down. I stopped, gathered up my skirt round me, gavo a glance round to see that no one was in sight, and then ran for my life. Before I nad gone many yards, I heard some one running after me, and then Mr. Reade's voice calling: "Miss Christie!" Iran on without heeding him, ashamed of mr plight but he would not take the rebuff, and in a few more steps he had caught me .up, and taking away my small umbrella, was holding his large one over me. He opened a sate to the right that led into a field. "But this is the wrong way. I have to turn to the left, I know," said I. "There is a shed for carts here where fre shall get shelter,H said he,

And in a few minutes we reached it, and I found myself under a low root, watching the downpour outside.

A

lew days before I might have found something to enjoy in this curious encounter with my friend of the dog-cartj but the rudeness and suspicion of his sisters had made me shy with him- So I merely sat there and looked straight in front of me, while he, infected by my reserve, leaned against the side oi the shed and looked at me. "I wish it would leave off," I re marked, stupidly, at length

gyl

"Are you in such a hurry to get back to the Alders? It is no diyer than is here." "But at least one ota ohange one's boots." "Have you got your feet wet? Tou will be laid up with rheumatiofever, ox something of the kind*" said he, anxiously. "Oh, no, no said *'It isn't that. But Mr. Rayner will be anxious."

4 11

"Mr. Rayner and Mrs. Rayner, won't she be anxious, tooP" "Oh, Mrs. Rayner is never anything! At least—I mean," said I, "she is sc reserved that—" "That yo.u like Mr. Rayner beStP" "Oh, yes!"

He drew himself up rather coldly. "So do most ladies, I believe." "One can't help liking a peraon who talks and laughs, and is bright and kind, better than one who never speaks, and glides about like a ghost, and looks coldly at you if you speak to her." W, "Perhaps she means to be kind," said he, gently. "Then she ought to make her meaning plainer. She can't think it is kind to fix her eyes upon me as if I were

sponsively that it BQems hand in mine, and at other times to take &o more notice of me titan if I were not there. Besides, she knows that it is the first time I have ever left home, and she must see sometimes that I am not happy."

Then I remembered that I had no light to make this confession to a comparative stranger, and added, quicklv:

I ought not to talk as if I were 111tareated. I am not at all. If she would only not be quite so coldf'

Perhaps her own troubles are very heavy and hard to bear." "Oh, no, ihey are not!" I replied, confidently. "At least, she has & kind husband and a pretty home, and every* thing she can wish for. And I think it is veiy selfish of hex to give herself up to brooding over the memory of her dead child, instead of trying to please her living husband."

Her dead chUdr* "Yes. She had a boy who died some

rs

ago. and she has never got over That is why she is so reserved." "Oh! How long ago did this boy die?" asked he, in a curiously inereo* tdous tone. "About five yean ago, I think Mt Rayner said." "Oh, then it was Mr. Rayner who told you?" "Tea."

"And Mrs. Rayner has never got over it?"

ANY ONE CAN DYE

"No. It seems difficult to believe, doesn't it, that a brilliant woman who wrote books and was much admired should fade like that into a kind of shadow?" "Oh, she wrote books! Did she tell you so herself?" gp| "No—Mr. Rayner." "Oh! Did Mr. Rayner tell you any more?"

The irony in his tone was now so unmistakable that I hesitated, and looked up at him inquiringly. 3^ *4$ "I am sure he must have told you that he is a very ill-used man and a very long-suffering husband, and asked you to pity him. Didn't he, Miss ChristieP Ah, I see he did!" he cried.

I could feel the Hood rushing to my cheeks: but I was indignantaihaariny to submit to this catechism. *4 Mr. Rayner never asks impertinent questions," I said, severely.

The young man drew back and muttered: "I beg your pardon." Iwaa sorry directly but my dignity forbade my calling mm back to retract the snub. Yet I was dying to know the reason of his violent prejudice against Mr. Rayner. To my relief, in a few minutes he came back to me of his own accord.

Miss Christie," he began, nervously, "I am afraid I have offended you. Won't you forgive me for being carried a little too far lay my interest a lady who h.erself confessed that she is awa from her friends for the first time an not—very happy?"

I could not resist such an appeal I looked up smiling: Oh, I am not at all offended! But I should like to know what reason you have for thinking so ill of Mr. Rayner." "Perhaps lam-wrong,11 ho said. "It is not his fault that, with all his cleverness, his ease of manner is not quite the ease of a gentleman."

I considered for a moment and then said, timidly: "Won't you tell me anything more? I am alone in the world and need all the knowledge lean get of the people I live among to guide me in my conduct."

He seemed to debate within himself for a moment, and then drawing near said, very earnestly: "Seriously, then, Miss Christie, I would advise you to leave the Alders as soon as you possibly can, even before you have got another engagement. You are in the midst of more dangers than you can possibly know of, more probably than I know of myself, more certainly than I can warn you against."

His voice was very low as he finished, and while we both remained silent, a dark figure suddenly appeared before us, blocking out the light. It was Mr, Rayner. Mr. Reade and I started

Tiiltily. The new-comer had aproached so quietly that we had not ad he li
