"MORAL SIDE OF THE QUESTION MARRIED WOMEN TEACHERS.

Sow Sojne Women Go gbopptof-Sesdlng FloweN by Poet—Women Who Feel Toanr—To Make GirU Think—Qurlyle on Kwrel Writing.

The objection made to married women In the schools was not that they failed in any way as teachers. We grant they have generally had more experience than the unmarried and are more settled in their pl»n« They are indeed admirable teach

er*.

but how much more admirable would they be as mothers. Some enterprising person collected the illustrious names among sons of clergymen, and then attempted to compute what the world had lost by the celibacy of the priesthood. So we might compote the loss to our own time dne to this false ideal of a childless marriage by referring to the chil-. dren of those cultivated women who have found in home and family their broadest sphere of action.

Mi** Philippa Fawcett, who won the highest honors at Cambridge, is a good illustration. Her mother, Mrs. fnwcett, is a woman of the highest cultivation. We are truly thankful she did not enter British schools or government offices, but chose rather to help her husband and train her child at home.

A law to exclude married women from our schools would do but little good. The

Silation

uestion is asocial and moral one and legcannot reach it. A good, healthy, moral sentiment is what we need a sentiment which makes teaching less honorable for a married woman than the care of a home a sentiment which considers childless women unfortunate and to be pitied.

Of course the presence of married women in our schools is but a straw in the current, yet it shows the way the river flows. There nre married women seeking publio positions everywhere. A childless marriage is the ideal of happiness.

Well, we are digging our own graves. Who will there bo to perpetuate our name? Who will Inherit tho mental and moral tendencies with which we have sought to better the world? Our places must be taken not by those who have proflted by the rich development of our own lives, but by those from tho lower ranks, who must learn anew tho lessons of culture and refinement.—Cor. Chicago Tribune.

How 8om« Women Go Shopping. But it is when fair woman goes a-shop-ping that she becomes least admirable. Then her hand is raised against every woman who crosses her path. From tho moment she pushes open tho swinging doors of the first retail shop she enters and lots them fly back into tho face of the woman behind her till alio reaches her home again she has laid herself open at every turn to tho charge of bad manners. She has in her progress made tired clerks spend hours in taking down goods simply for her amusement when she has not the smallest intention of purchasing from them.

Sho has made audiblo comments upon "tho stupidity and slowness of these shop girls." She has swept off from loaded shop counters with her draperies moro than one easily damaged article, which she has tcorned to pick up and replace. She has jostled against other women and met their indignant looks with a stony, not to say insolent, staro. She has needlessly blocked tho way when others wished to pass her.

She has carried her closed umbrella or sunshado at an angle that was a porpetual menace to any woman that came near her. Sho has put up her glass and stared haughtily through it at the gown of tho woman next to her at the bargain counter. In her shrill, penetrating voice she has discussed in the most publio places gossip reflecting more or loss injuriously upon other people.

She has, in short, done very little that she should have done, and very, very much that sho ought not to have done yet she returns from it all with a serener conscience than a mediroval saint coming home to the convent after a day particularly well filled with meritorious deeds. She will tell yon complacently that a man can never learn to shop like a woman. And man can.never be too thankful for his inability in this particular direction.—Oscar Fay Adams in North American Review.

Much taste may be displayed in the arrangement, and upon opening the box the effect will be quite the same «yi that of a bouquet.

Cover the stems of the flowers with damp moss in such away that they will be firmly Imbedded, and thus kept fresh for along time. Before putting the lid upon the box sprinkle the flowers and place a covering of leaves* over them.

A friend who received a box of camelias from Georgia reported their arrival in perfect condition. Their stems were laid in freshly cut potato.

To Make Girls Think.

Now, what can be done to correct irregular habits and make our girls think? One of the best things to make them thoughtful, earnest and practical, and to teach them to use their own judgment and form their own opinions, is a well selected course of reading. Most of our girls do read a little, generally novels and newspapers, and, as in this class of reading there is little that they wish to retain, they fall into slovenly and careless habits of thought and expression.

What they need is to read something that they desire to remember something that contains facts presented in an interesting manner. Give them the companionship of the best authors, and they will find an enjoyment which social gayety cannot give. Many would be glad to read not only for amusement but for culture and information, if the way were pointed 3Ut. Authors and literary men, seeing young people venturing into the world of books alone and unguided, have proffered the fruits of their experience and given advice as to the selection of books.

The following list of books on this subject or part of them can be found in all large public libraries: "Books and Reading," Porter "What to Read," Moore "How to Do It," Hale "Best Reading," Perkins "Friendship of Books," Maurice "Book Lover," Baldwin "Choice of Books," Carlyle. Business Woman's Journal.

Carlyle'® Advice Abont Writing. Carlyle's opinions concerning the writing of novels by women may be gathered from this letter addressed to a girl who sought his literary advice: "A young lady's chief duty and outlook is not to write novels (especially not while she is 'ignorant of the world,' and not even when perhaps she knows it too well), but by and by to be queen of a household, and to manage it queenlike and womanlike. Let her turn her whole faculty and industry in that direction shove her own novel well aside for a good while or forever, and be shy even of reading novels. "If she do read let it be good and wise books (moro and more exclusively those), which not one in ten thousand of the kind called 'novels' now is."

The young writer, dismayed by this counsel, wrote again to tho Scotchman, and promised to "shove her novel well aside." Thereupon Carlyle seems to have relented a little, for he penned another epistle, in which, amidst much kind advice, occurs tho significant passage: "I do not forbid you literature, if there absolutely bo no other aim. But in that cose first prepare for it read, study, reflect inquire far and near (perhaps in various ages, in various countries, or languages) jjgeomo acquainted with.thejreat sottlS that havebeen—see if you haveaiiything to add which is distinctly in their spirit and if yes, do so."

Ferfnmed Indies.

That fashionable ladies in Parisian society sometimes inject morphia to calm nerves which have become agitated by excited days and sleepless nights is beyond doubt but do they go so far as to inject patchouli and other perfumes? And If they did what would be the advantage over simpler methods of diffusing sweet odors from their dainty persons? It has been gravely stated in quarters which would not be expected to libel French women that this is the new erase but this is one of those bits of news which you may believe or not. It is not difficult to scent the feminine garments in such wise that the wearer, like the goddess in the Odyssey, should waft around her a cloud of sweet odors. To perfume the blood seems to be, to stay the least of it, unnecessary. Bat are not women just now rather too much given to perfumes? A drawing room with half a dozen ladies in it Is apt to have an atmosphere a good deal too reminiscent of Mr. Rimmel's shop. A little perfume goes along way—at all events with men.—St. James' Gasette.

Washing Black Hosiery*

Great improvements have been made in the dyeing of black stockings by the use of the new imperial fast dye, for which it is trial mad that the color will improve rather than not by washing, and drapers will do well to give a hint to their customers how dyed cotton stockings ought to be treated. No washing powders or washing liquors of any sort should be made use of, and tfeey should be washed in soft water, soft lather first, and instead of wringing them out hard, which is the common process, and by which, at all events, certain portions of the dye must be expected to be removed, they should be rolled in a dry cloth and have the moisture well pressed out and then dried quickly afterward. Nothing oonld be more melancholy looking than the rusty white black stockings of years gone by, after they had been a short time in use, and the blue black color of the new dyes gives them an excellent appearance. -British Warehouseman.

A bath should be washed, rinsed and wiped after say use, and the common practice of a household taking their baths in Trithout this is the one thing not to be endured. I write this for the benefit of young women boarding, who would like to carry out thorough hygiene in clothing and baths with imperative limits of expense.—Shirley Dare in New York Herald.

To Can Citron.

I never buy citron, as 1 like that which I prepare myself quite as welL I take out what I need from a can of citron preserve, drain it carefully for several hours, then cut it into thin slices, and use as though it were dried. Possibly the rule for preserving citron may be of use. Cut the melon in thin slices, peel and remove the seeds and boil in clear water till nearly tender. Mai™ a sirup, using one pound of granulated sugar for one pound of melon boil and skim. Slice five or six lemons for each ten pounds of the preserve, and remove all

Drain the melon carefully and put it with the lemon into the. hot sirup and boil until clear. Then can in seK^eaUng cans. I sometimes add a few raisins to a part at the preserve it is improved in flavor'to most tastes, but the appearance is rather injured by their presence.—Woman's World. «w

Horses for Women.

A man has his horse, his dog, his gun, his boat—all those things which give decision, firmness and poise to character. Let a woman have her horse, if she can, waiting before or after the hours of needle work or study or housekeeping to give her freedom from staidness or morbid thought, to bring exhilaration and new life and companionship with the green fields of spring, autumn roadways overarched with crimson tipped maples and the glistening snow sweeps of winter. It will take the lines from her face, will place her clear eyed and erect and in a line with life from twelve to sixty.—Harper's Weekly,

Photograph Holders.

In all the descriptions given of photograph holders I have never seen one like this. It may be that some one will think it as pretty as IMo, and it is easily made. Take a board three-fourths of an inch thick and five and one-half by three and one-half inches and cover with plush. Gild two new clothespins, tack them on lengthwise of the board, heads down, with the open part of the pins running lengthwise, about two inches apart. Tie a small satin bow on each pin, and I think you will be satisfied with the effect.—Cor Detroit Free Press.

Iu Choosing Perfumes.

Never make an exclusive use of a perfume which for a very long time has been abandoned, which has been-used in a former generation, for the perfume must be of modern make as well as the dress. A woman who wears a newly imported dress, with all tho improvements and styles of the day, and scents of la marechale, which was par excellence the perfume of the last century, is taxed with an unpardonable anachronism, which proves a defect of taste that mars the effect of Itin all other things. —Exchange

Jnnauschck Says Don't.

Do you rfemember Punch's advice to those about to marry? You know it was all comprised in a single word,."Don't." Well, that is exactly my adviSai to any young woman who is ambitious to act. Tell the young women of America how to become actresses? I should much rather tell them how to become good wives and mothers in the quiet and seclusion of happy homes.—Janauschek in Philadelphia Times.

One Way to Cleanse a Carpet.

A TBUE GERMAN GIRL

THERE CANNOT BE NICER WHEN ALL

ANYTHING IS SAID

8be Is Not "Great Fan,** bat There Is an Entire Absence of Affeetatlon—Always Constant Sweetheart and a Falthfal and levoted Wife,

The German girl is not like other girls. She is not so piquant as the American girl nor so stylish as the French girl, and not so sympathetic as the English girl. She has neither the persuasive magnetism of the Viennese, nor the burning presence of the Italian, nor the versatility of the Russian. Her lack of these conventional attractions usually leads men who do not know her to imagine the German girl to be a rather inferior and uninteresting young woman. Men who have been fortunate enough to know thoroughbred continental German girls, however, think differently.

Physically the German girl is not so charming as the American girl. Her waist is neither round nor tapering." Her shoulders do not slope. Her carriage lacks spirit. Her face is round rather than oval, and her hands and feet are not strikingly trim. On the other hand she has a well turned arm, a smooth pink and white skin untouched by modern improvements, an abundance of well kept hair and a delightful neck. Her figure is full, but not overfed. Her eyes are clear, though unsuggestive.

NOT A COQUETTE.

The fine art of fascinating men by infinitesimal gestures or suggestions of gestures is not hers. She cannot sway feeling by the turn of the head, a droop of the figure, a sinking of the hand, or a curve of the neck. She may have an idea or two about managing her eyelids, tossing her head, plucking apart rosebuds, and other like elementary practices, but the wide world of elaborate feminine coquetry without words is beyond her ken.

Despite all these deficiencies tho presence of the typical German girl is something of an inspiration. She does not overwhelm a man with vivacity, nor burden him with highly wrought affectation of attention. She does not mobilize her face for a campaign of grimaces and expressions tho minute he opens his mouth. She listens somewhat impassively, though not phlegmatically, to all he says. Her repose is natural and sympathetic. It was born and bred in her, is apart of her, and so is remarkably refreshing to a man who has worn his way repeatedly through the pantomimic routine of the tete-a-tete with women of other breeding and temperament.

In conversation the German girl is encourag mg rather than exciting and entertaining. §he does not try to "keep up her end." She never "carries on." She is not "sharp," nor "keen," nor "smart," nor great fun." She cannot even "take care of herself" conversationally. Sho does not know all about operas she has nevor heard and sciences she lias never studied. She does not "adore calculus," and is not "awfully fond of metaphysics." Sho rarely generalizes brilliantly concerning novels she has only heard others tell of, and she is far from clever at cribbing colloquial witticisms. Sho is, however, intelligent and well educated, and has an abundance of ideas of her ovra. Although she knows little Latin and less Greek, she can speak French fairly well, understands some English, and has a smattering of Italian or Spanish. She is full of information as to the great elector Frederick the Great, the iron days between 1807 and 1815, and the modern German triumvirate. She is well acquainted with the works of Goethe, Shakespeare, Heine and Moliere. She can quot« by the page from her favorite poet Schiller. In case of need she can follow her heart with her hand and turn off an astonishing quantity of sentimental verses on slight provocation. She loves music, and is familiar with most of the grand operas.

The German girl has all these things to talk of understanding^, yet she never sweeps a man off bis feet with a flood of conversational pedantry. When a subject she is acquainted with turns up she talks on it easily, without on effort to appear brilliant or unique or deep. She is very worshipful of the great masters, but does not exhaust her breath and vocabulary to say so. She never uses slang. She speaks her native tongue plainly without availing hexfeelf of expressions like "ain't," "hadn't ought" or ''like you and L" Her correctness of speech, however, is not studied, and she never tries to get under cover with a "dear me, I always get that wrong." Her "ja" is as sweet as the American girl's "yes," and her "nein" falls from her lips with a soft indecision that mitigates half the pain of the refusal,

AND WIFE.

When the German girl has had her little fling, and it is a very little one, her Fran Mamma gets her engaged. Her new social status is published at onoe to the whole world around her. Unannounced engagements are unknown to the German girl. The instant she accepts a young man's proposal every one knows it, and regards her as already half married. She does not court the pleasures of a helter-skelter, fast and loose love affair. She becomes all wrapped up in her Frits, or Hans, or Wilhelm at once. There is no more flirting, or corresponding, or skating, or dancing with other men. She loves her fiance with an absorbing devotion which is seldom duplicated on this side of the Atlantic. Sho get| no special pleasure from "playing" him teasing him, exciting his jealousy or "losing him on." All she wishes is to have him right at hand all the time, holding her hand while ofbera are present and her when alone with him. This unswerving faithfulness and childlike devotion continues well along into her married life and usually to the end. The quiet, responsive, undemonstrative, trustful Gennto frnu is only a-a.' .ml development of the well bred Gem -1 girl.

Make Tour Daughter Love Too. ff If yon want to core a small boy of oowardicetalk to him of neroes apd heroism, and if yon want your daughter to make the most of herself and to be proud of yon as a teacher and mother &bpthe beautiful constantly before her. You know how you bought cosmetics to beautify yourself, how you followed the recipes for removing freckles and burnt all the skin off your face. You iWmember, too, the bottle of laudanum you kept in your trunk for murderous purposes, and the quantity of patent medicine you swallowed on the sly in the hope of getting fat, removing tan or becoming as fair as an oriental lily.

You could save the gullible little girl all this expense, misgiving, disappointment and physical derangement by telling her how beautiful and fair she is, how glorious her eyes are and how more than priceless her youth is. Put her at her ease. Get her en rapport with herself and you will make a beauty of her. Feed her heart and mind as well as her body. Tell her you love hert call her sweet names, reserving plain Maria for company. Get her confidence, cover up the blemishes by enlarging on her good points. Select ideals for her in marble, history, pictures, music and poetry, and though she may not reach any one of them the attempt will do her a world of good.—Exchange.

The New Gamo of Clumps. In this game all the players are equally divided. They sit on opposite sides of the room, and a girl is taken from one clump and a boy from the other. They leave the room, while each clump thinks of some word, proverb or incident. They then return into the room and go each to the opposite party whence they came. By dint of questions and cross questioning they must find out the word or incident fixed on. If the girl succeeds she rejoins her own clump, if she fails she sits with the other, and tho same with the boy if ho succeeds he keeps with his own party, and if he fails he also has to join the adverse party. The failures thus swell the clump opposed to their own, and the game is won by the side that numbers most at its conclusion. It is an amusing game, the different clumps welcoming the successcs and failures, making it lively and bright..— Augusta Chronicle.

Pot Cnlturo of Cranberries. The common cranberry of our swamps is a very attractive plant when cultivated in pots. Tho plants are evergreen, and will grow in any ordinary living room with care. The beautiful vivid coloml berry will remain on the plants till tho flowers appear for the next crop. The best way to cultivate them is to line a shallow box that fits the window sill with zinc, and bore two holes in tho bottom in the sido nearest the room for drainage. Fill the box half full with mold, cover it with a layer of moss, put tho plants in, and always keep tho moss moist. Sprinkle tho moss and plants thoroughly, putting a pail beneath tho two holes to receive the drip. Bits of bark tacked upon the outside of tho box add to the sylvan beauty of this little window garden.—Cor. Good Housekeeping.

Girl* Want Praise.

The daughter does not know you love her when you are eternully saying: "I am ashamed of tho way you walk she cannot think she is dear to you when your observations ore based on her defects for which you are responsible. She does not know the cost of her living—and there is wisdom in her ignorance, by the way—nor the extent of your anxiety for her future welfare. She is unhappy. She wants to bo loved and

etted and cuddled and kissed, and if she not find admirers, friends and lovers in her own family she will find them in some other community. Of this be very certain: your little girl is just what you make her. She is a divine study and worth all the care and attention, all the nurturing and devotion you can lavish on her.—-New York World.

Keeping Milk Without lee. Housekeepers who cannot afford ice meet their greatest difficulty in trying to keep milk. That they can easily overcome by canning as they do fruits. The cans should first be thoroughly washed, then boiled or baked in the oven for half an hour longer. This should be done beforo the milk arrives. As soon as it comes put it into the jars and tightly screw down the lids. Place them in a steamer over cold water, which should be heated gradually. Keep the jars steaming for not less than an hour, then screw the lids down and make them air tight. If this process is rightly conducted the milk In the jars ought to keep unchanged for at least a week. It is also freed from all disease germs, as a carrier of which it is notorious.—New York Telegram.

Wedloelt.

No woman will love a man better for being renowned or prominent. Though he be the first among men she will be prouder, not fonder as is often the case, she will not even be proud. But give her love, appreci ation, kindness, and there is no sacrifice she will not make for his content and comfort. The man who loves her well is her hero and king—no less a hero to her though he is not to any other, no less a king though his only kingdom is her heart and home. In nine cases out of ten it is a man's own fault if he is unlaappy with his wife. It is a very exceptional woman who will tic:« be all she can to an attentive husband, and a very exceptional one who will not be very disagreeable if she finds herself willfully neglected.—New York Ledger.
