EXAGGERATED EXPECTATIONS OF THE GIRL GRADUATE.

Girl*—Shopping lit London Is a Joy.
As the girl graduate will have to suffer from unreasonable criticism, so she will often suffer from exaggerated expectations. It will be assumed that because she lias spent four years out of her twenty JJNUB of life, more or less, at a college that she will be in all respects a pattern being as to knowledge, temper, dress, demeanor and grammar But why should the four years be expected to count for so much, and the previous
sixteen
years for nothing?
Boys retain for life the impress of their childish associations the refinement or coarseness, the knowledge or ignorance of their early homes will be a source of Lasting influence. College does something to equalize, but it cannot do everything. One may hear not merely the recent graduates, but the professors who train them, using in elegancies of speech or pronunciation which have clung round them all their lives, the bequest of childish associations.
Granting that girls are several degrees quicker in observation and adaptation, yet the same thing will be true of them. And so in point of character. As we see college bred men engage in public affairs, some of them with a purifying influence going out from them, while others outdo their associate* in all mean arts, so there will be a corresponding ynriety, though perhaps less extreme, among women. No course of study, no diploma, can guarantee personal nobleness or obliterate the difference between one type of character and another. As years go on the fact of college education will soon fall back into the past, and become only one factor in the personal career but all high qualities that have taken root in the young nature will grow and grow in proportion to the depth of the soil and to the joint influence of sunshine and rain.—T. W. Higginson in Harper's Bazar.
Woman Unhappy Without Love. I am curious to know whether a woman into whose life love has never entered can ever have been what 1 should call happy. I do not think HO. She may have found the quiet garden of which content keeps the keys. She may IMJ reconciled to her fate, and console herself by thinking bow much Iwtter off she is than if she were unhappily married, but such dull resignation is not even first cousin to the rapture of joy.
I am old fashioned, perhaps, in my ideas, but I honestly think that real happiness comes to a woman only hand in hand wJth love.
When she begins to feel thut with one man in it the room is full, und empty when lie is gone, no mutter how many may remain, she begins to be tremulously, deIlciously, deliriously happy. But that is only the beginning and if love holds happiness by the hand fear stands at tho other elbow. A word too many or too few, a smile that docs not go her way, and the girl suffers as much as she has
Just enjoyed.
Her very soul hungers within her for some dear certainty. And when that comes— when her troth is plighted—is that her happiest moment? She does not think so then, for she is looking forward to her bridal morning.
The day of day comes at Inst, and the new life begins. Is that, then, the happiest moment? Hardly, for tho very most loving people who ever lived are not quite one, to begin with, and they must learn- to live together. A year—a year of mutual forbearance, of getting well acquainted— a happy year and now they look into each pther's eves fearlessly. They are one at lost and for all time!
Surely that is the happiest moment! 1 had made up my mind to say so but is it? Ah, I think, after all, the happiest moment is when Lovo is a sweet, shy newoomerf and Hope leads It by the hand.— Louise Chandler Moulton in Ladies' Home Journal.
Sinking Beds for Sick Patients.
First, how to make tho bed: A mattress not too hard, and, if possible, on a single bed. Cover over with a sheet, tucking in well then across the bed I put apiece of rubber oil cloth, about a yard wide and tang enough to tuck in each side then I take a sheet, fold it once in half lengthwise and place It lengthwise over the rubber cloth, tucking it in on one side. This leaves more than is necessary to tuck in on the other side, so 1 draw tight across, and the surplus fold flat and put under the mattress. This I call a draw sheet, and should bo placed so as to come well tinder the patient's hips, so that In vising the bed pan, in case of a mishap, the under sheet will not get wet. Now. if the draw sheet should get soiled or wet I untuck it, and being over a piece of rubber cloth it will •lip very readily.
I take one side that is not folded and draw my jwtient to the edge of the bod. Then I go to the opposite side, take out the folded part and smooth it out. The surplus sheet In the middle of the bed I tako dose xip to my patieat's back, and with both hands press down the mattress. My patient turns over he is on a clean sheet and without being lifted, then go to the other side of the bed and fold lu the same manner as before I had done the surplus clean portion. If there is any odor, or it is at all much soiled, I put a clean one on. In that case before turning my patient I pin to either one of the sides of the soiled sheet my clean one, tuck it in and fold, taking under my patient as before described. Often the patient is lying at the side of the bed. In that case he is moved only once*
I keep a plentiful supply of pillow cases and change often. Having an extra pillow I hold the patient's head with one arm and put the fresh pillow under with the other hand. I change my draw sheet once or twice, whether It is soiled or not, as it makes my patient feel always refreshed. It has never yet caused any harm, and I have minced a good many.—New York Letter.
A Woman's Smile.
Do women fully appreciate the value of a smile? Do they ever think that It Is to the cheerful, sweet minded woman that friends come in wasons of sorrow and trial for help and comfort that it is to her that the feverish child turn* far a touch of the kindly hand or a glimpse of the face that fill* the darkened chamber with sunlight? The husband, wearied with the pressure of business, turns to his home and meets on the threshold the smiting face of his wife, and yielding to its soothing influence the caret of tha outside world AW forgotten lie Is a king In his own realm, and at his aide is the queen, or rather the household magician, whoae walk coofcm away gloom and ill temper.

Hints to Save Arm Act es.
A lady recently spilled cream on a woolen dress. She quickly placed apiece of absorbent cotton on the cream, letting it stay a few minutes. When removed the cream had been entirely absorbed and not a trace remained on the dress.
A clothier states that the proper way to wash a flannel shirt is to souse the garment in hot soap water, never rubbing, and put it repeatedly through a wringer. The garment should never be wrung with the bands and never be put in cold water.
Teach the "girl" to take off the lids and close the drafts of the stove as soon as she is through cooking so as to save carrying in so much coal or wood. This will' appeal to her more directly than the thought of saving the fuel, perhaps.
The elasticity of cane chair bottoms can be restored by washing the cane with soap and water until it is well soaked, and then drying thoroughly in the air, after which they will become as tight and firm as new, if none of the canes are broken.
It is a great help to have a kitchen table covered with a piece of zinc smoothly rolled over the edges. It saves the time and labor spent in continually scouring the table, for it can be thoroughly cleaned in a few seconds by wiping it with a wet cloth.—New York Journal.
Housekeeping Girls.
It may be true that "most girls of the period know much more about the proper management of a house when they marry than their mothers did," but this is not the experience of the majority of men who marry American girls. No one is brighter or quicker to learn the mysteries of household work than the American girl, but in the great majority of cases she gains this knowledge-after her marriage. Wherever the English system of enforcing training in cooking and household work is adopted there the girls are found to bo adepts, but unfortunately, especially in the west, the custom is to leave all household work to servants. Thus the girl grows up with no practical knowledge of this work, which seems so easy, but which in reality requires patient study and much practice to do well. So when she comes to manage a household she is at the mercy of servants, who are quick to take advantage of her ignorance. She generally emerges the victor after several years of costly experience, but she would have been spared all this worry, vexation and hard work had her mother insisted, as English mothers do, upon equal proficiency in the kitchen and the music room.—San Francisco Chronicle.
Shopping in London Is a Joy.
I have heard people object to the servility of the London shop keeper. For my own part, I delight in it. Alter the door mat principle which obtains in New York, I like to feel that I am doing a great honor to the place whore I buy a shilling handkerchief, and I like to be bowed in and bowed out as if I were empress of India. And a little money goes such a great wayi And if you want to have your soul filled with delight go to a bootmaker's. You can get the most exquisite French slippers with the Louis Quinze heels at a price that will make you open your eyes, and when the shop keeper tries them on he will say In an utterly blissful tone, "Madame is an American, isn't she?" Then ypu feel as if yoti would like to buy out all £he shop. He knew you, not by tho strawberry mark on your left arm, but by the size of your foot, and you feel so light after this that you believe you could walk on clouds.
Some very clever body said that the thanksgiving continually rendered by people here whom one had tipped was not sincere. Now if you give a ha'penny to a boy, do you care whether it is sincere or not, provided he sayB it? I don't. But I wish we could import about ten millions of "thank yous" into the United States, and I am sure that everybody would be willing to pay duty on them.— London Letter.
Where the Idea Comes From. "I believe," said a man not long since, "that the fairy tales on which children are fed In their most impressionable days are largely responsible tgr the rage of all girls, particularly Americans, for princes. There was never a fairy story written that did not have a prince for a hero. What would have been Cinderella's reward If the young man who found her glass slipper had not been a prince? Suppose he had been a worthy grocer's clerk or an intelligent young farmer would not the tale have lost Its fascination? Then the hind in the wood did he not turn into a prince? and the frog also? "Suppose the hind had turned into a wood chopper and the frog into an honest fisherman would the girls have been so well pleased? And arc not all the fortunate and happy girls of the fairy tales princesses either by birth or marriage? I tell you that there is more truth in this theory of mine than people imagine, and if I ever become the father of a family my children shall know nothing about the titled heroes of fairy tales."

.How Marion Itarland Started.
Some one recently asked Marion liarland what first led her to write a cook book, and her response was: "Do you remember Squsers? When a twy does thing he goes and knows it. That was my impulse to cook-book making. Yon see I set up to housekeeping an ignorant young thing, eighty mites away from my mother, with utterly incompetent servants and too much pride to ask aid and counsel of the notable housewives among my husband'* parishioners. Then it T.TB* that 1 discovered that all cook books at my command were vanity and vexation of spirit, and made «p my mind that if I live*! to be a competent household authority I would put the fruita of my bitter experience within reach of other women similarly situated.

Mothers like to see it, for it is considered very healthful. The boys like it because it sweetens the breath. The hotel men like it because it tires the jaws. The druggists like it because it increases their receipts.—Cor. Chicago Herald

The Freckled Girl's Boom.
Sing ho for the freckle faced girl, the girl with the reddish hair, the girl with the picnic smile, who helps her mother, and isn't at all advanced in classics or music, but sticks to "Annie Rooney" till the next song comes out, and is true to that as long as there's a note left. Sing ho for her! For the freckle faced girl has had her room furnished, and! I can tell you it's a sunburst. The walls are old ivory color, the frieze at the top of the warm tones of burnt umber, showing garland festoons in the colonial order.
Etchings in the deep reddish etching tints are framed in wide white frames and hang here and there on the wall. The woodwork, in the Sixteenth century finish, of mahogany hue, worn off in places very pale and whitish. The floor is a dead colored brown, with blue and gray rugs. The curtains at the doorway are drab and bine, with just a touch of red on the border white muslins hang at the windows, and a scorched brown colored toilet set and ribboned bows of the same color on the chairs help to make a very artistic room. So the freckle faced girl doesn't worry herself now when she hears of a blonde's boudoir in pink or a brunette's yellow and black room.—Exchange.
Careless Girls, ltead This.
The girl who goes round the house in a soiled skirt and slouch waist, slip shod and nair tumbled need not expect to be the darling of a man's heart for any length of time. A corset is a necessity to a pillowfigured woman and a blessing to the one who lose) plumb without a reed. Cottons and wash fabrics may be bought for a few cents a yard, half a dollar will pay for a dress pattern, and the woman who cannot fashion a pilgrim skirt and sailor blouse in a couple of days ought to attend an industrial school for a week.
Two or three dimes invested in ribbons and colored cambric will brighten the collar, cuffs and belt, and the wife, sister or niece who cannot look fresh, sweet and pretty in it deserves the neglect she will get. Men love white gowns, blue ribbons and fluttering lace. With muslin a dime a yard and pink, blue, cream and crimson ribbon a dollar a bolt, why can't the fancy be humored? Brace up, Miss Slattern! Take a reef in at the belt line, keep your hair dressed, your shoes laced, your skirts pulled back and let the rose be your model of sweetness apd simplicity.—New York World.
Lounge language, f'
It is quite easy to judge of a person's character by the way she uses the multifarious lounge pillows in vogue preset If a person comes in, sits carefully down, with a worried look behind her at the pillows, cautiously sinks back*in some space between them, and avoids them with her elbows, beware of such a person. She will have prune sauce and toast for lunch and won't let your dog come into the vestibule her husband will walk six blocks to avoid two horse car fares and go with his wife dry goods shopping. But the people who sink back with a sigh of satisfaction into the pillows, put there for that purpose, who will get one behind the spine, another behind their head and one under each elbow, and beam iu comfort at you from their midst, are liU around good people and not to be scratched off the ticket.—Miss Meander in Boston Gazette.

CHANGES SINCE OUR ANCESTORS FIRST WORSHIPED OUTDOORS.

Forty Gowns for the Pretty Girl Who Goes to Camp Meeting for Two Weeks. She Also Has Silk Curtains, Mirrors and
Pictures for the Tent She Lives In.
If camping out is synonymous to some persons with an unconventional Bohemian mode of living, with camp fires for stoves and roughly roasted food for dinner, with happy-go-lucky enjoyment, with rough-and-ready clothing, and as little of thcx as possible, this is not at^&ll the camp meeting girl's idea of the life. To. her camping out means weeks of preparation, of constructing bewitching gowns, of planning how to equip a temporary home as complete as a model little country villa, of shopping and packing, of arranging and disarranging and rearranging, followed by almost unalloyed bliss under green trees and in tented fields, for a world of pleasure can be crowded into two weeks.
The camp is a little city in itself, and contains in its borders almost as many types and conditions of life an a real ci|y discloses. It is often a puzzling question to many would-be campers out as to what tO take and what not to take, how much and how little will do for the season, what others do or do not carry with them. The answer, in a nutshell, is simply this: Take whatever you like, and provided a little judgment is exercised you will not find a simple nor an elaborate equipment amisa. As' to gowns, there is the prayer meeting to dress for, and also those interesting walks to and from the meetings, and those delightful hours between morning and afternoon and afternoon and evening meetings, all affording opportunity for the display of becoming costumes. V"
ONE GIRL'S GOWNS.
To be sure. there are no dances, no evening parties, no stipulated form of amusement of any kind, but young people can easily dispense with excuses for dressing well and enjoying themselves. To a number of light hearted girls with nothing to do, happy in the consciousness of being well gowned, well bonneted and well shod, there is no need to search further for pleasure, provided there is an equal number of young men with nothing to do but to talk to the girls. Add to this the feeling thut one is doing one's duty, putting up with all the discomforts of camp life for religion's sake, and nothing is needed to complete the sum of contentment to at least the younger portion of the community.
To continue the subject of gowns, a fashionable young woman can easily change her costume at camp three times a day, and she need not wear the same toilet more than once. At this rate she can dispose of forty-two gowns during the fourteen days of camp. This is what a Baltimore girl prepared for camp: An abundant supply of cool, dainty, chaHio gowns, gorgeously gotten up with ribbon and lace, for warm evenings a black lace gown and spring costumes for the cold spells, sure to come ginghams, and, most important of all, woollen suits for morning wear, not to speak of outing flannels, shirt waists and a blazer for any and all' seasons. She had been there before, and therefore made her stout woollen gown, waterproof and overshoes the first consideration in her preparation, remembering the raining spells that make the picturesque streets muddy and the camp generally damp and cold.
But her preparations were on a small scale compared with those of her mother, who was weeks making arrangements for housekeeping, and whose busy brain bad to take in not only the matter of her own wardrobe, but of the comfort of the family in their tented abode. Her home at camp was quite extensive, consisting of a series of tents, one communicating with the other, and forming a drawing room, bedrooms, dining room, and a small outer tentas a kitchen. The thoughtful mother, with an eye for the artistic, and plenty of money at her command, laid in first of all a supply of beautiful summer portieres of Madras and silk, with polished poles and brass rings, to hang in the tents. They serve a double purpose, for besides being ornamental, and giving the interior of the tents a handsome appearance when drawn back, they can be closed at a moment's notice, and convert one room into two at night where many bedrooms are needed.
FURNISHING THE COTTAGE.
The drawing room she furnished with light reed furniture, put by from year to year for the camp meeting season. Straw rocking chairs, settees and lounges, decorated with bright ribbons and downy silken cushions, and alight colored flowered cappet make a soft covering for the rough floor. An ample supply of mirrors reflect the light from handsome piano lamps with showy shades, and on cabinets and tables choice bric-a-brac, some of it bought especially for the camp home, and some chosen from tho city home. Pictures even are taken to the camp and fastened to the walls of the tent by hooks. A little cabinet organ also, for few tents are without this piece of furniture. For the bedrooms there are complete seta of cottage furniture, and with lace canopies, embroidered pillow shams and spreads the sleeping Apartments r.ru made as cozy and attractive as if a year, instead of but two weeks, wore to be spent at the resort, -^'1
Cool looking matting with Turkish Vugs cover the floors, and scrap baskets, toilet articles and scarfs decorate these rooms. In the diniug room light oaken chairs, table and buffet have been choscu, and rich damask cloths, embroidered doilies, shining glass and silver from the appointments of the city house. The main idea, which was admirably carried out, was to select the furniture and decorations with a view to making the interior of the tents look light and summer like, and in good taste with the exterior surroundings. With all this preparation the inner man has also been thought of. Jars of deliclous preserves, jellies and pickles, and various* other table delicacies vere taken, and* with the fwsh country fruit and vegetables to be purchased at the camp, this jolly

"Sparrow Orass."
In Webster's Dictionary, under the word "asparagus," this note occurs: This word was formerly prouounced sparrow grass bat this pronunciation is now confined exclusively to uneducated peoplo.
Walker's English Dictionary quotes authority to show that not only was asparagus commonly ailed "sparrow grass" in England, even by educated persons, at the beginning of this century, but "cucumber" was pronounced "cowcumber.'- These two pronunciations passed out of use both in England and America, until now few people use them.
The marketmen in the great cities and their environs, however, still cling quite tenaciously to "sparrow grass," which they shorten up to "grass" as a matter of convenience, r/"Is that nice asparagus?" a customer asks. "Yes, that's very good grass," answers the marketman, with an emphasis on the "grass," as if to notify his customer that he knows what the vegetable is properly called, and in his next bill the marketman puts down this charge: 4 bunches grass 15c--• 00
For the pronunciation "cowcumber" there is some excuse, as the word comes to us through the French, in which language it was formerly coucombre, and ia now concombre. The German word kukummer was dropped in English for the French one. the English deriving nearly all their words for salads and the nicer table dishes from tho Frencli.
But for the word "sparrow grass," as applied to asparagus, there is absolutely no excuse. It is a sheer corruption of the word asparagus. The sparrows are not particularly fond of the seeds of tho ripened asparagus, nor is it a grass in any sense.
The asparagus, indeed, belongs to the lily family, like certain other edible vegetables. It is certainly no new discovery, for the word is Greek, and means, according to some etymologists, "to swell with sap or juice and asparagus was eaten and much esteemed by the Romans.-—Youth's Companion.
He Was Thirsty.
Just after the baccalaureate examination in Dublin, I was driving down on a jaunting car with some friends to the races at the Curragh of Kildare. As we would say in Ireland, "it came on to rain very hard as would bo said in America, "there was a heavy rain storm and on reaching the first roadside inn I told the driver to halt, and as we, his passengers, jumped from the car, I said, we having had the comparative shelter of umbrellas: "Come in quick, Denny* jou must le, wet." "Faith, your honor," was his ready answer, "If I was as wet inside as I am outside I would be as dry as a bone!"— Harper's Magazine.
Cataleptic Animals.
All the burrowing animals are in a state of catalepsy and live for months in a state of apparent death. Frogs have been taken from solid sandstone, after being imbedded for many years, and resuscitated. How many men are cataleptic in the last stages of life is a matter .which the doctors know scarcely more about than other people. And yet in medical colleges poor men are snatched up almost before they are cold for purposes of operative surgery. Paupers and prisoners who have no friends are not asked as to their will in the matter, but are quickly appropriated for purposes of dissection.—New Orleans picayune.
The Safety Coffin.
One of the most curious inventions of 1868 was that of a safety coffin, intended to obviate the results of premature burial, and invented by M. Vester, a German. The coffin was made larger than required by the size of the body it had at the head a movable lid, communicating with the open air by means of a square trough from the bottom of the grave. The arrangement was such that a person might thus readily escape from the tomb. The inventor proposed to place refreshments in the coffin as a prudent precaution against starvation!— Once a Week.
