In the recent reunions of veterans and military societies throughout the country it has t«K-n pleasant to nee the general recognition of the work of women In war, and their part in the national successes. It has been pleasant to see the generous brotherhood of men in this relation, and to receive their honest appreciation, to feel that nothing has been withheld, and to en* joy the setiwiof equality in difference. But It baa been yet more pleasant to observe, as it has Jxwn irnpres«ed on us, that the work of women in war was everywhere, we will not say that of undoing and remedying the work of men, but that of succor, relief and mercy that it was the alleviation of pain, that it was not the inflicting, but the binding up of bleeding wounds, the bandaging of cuts, the cooling of fever, the KOOthing of
suspense
and sorrow, the
attHuaging of agonies upon the field, the
hindering of despair to breaking, waiting
heart** at home, and all with a forgetfulnesii of self, of fatigue, of digust that at the time often seemed superhuman.
It was the nightly sitting by the delirious pillow, the hold in' of the dying hand, the taking of the dying numagf, the giving of the whole strength to the leaning, shrinking «»ul stepping down into the dark, cold, unknown waters. It was the following of the hospital flag into all dangers, perhaps even into death for themselves, and often into lifelong disabilities. And at homo it was the needle woman, the lint semper, the letter writer, the heartoner that was a member of the great army the woman bent over hot (Ires making jellies, sweetmeats, cakes and dainties for convalescent appetites the women helping in the great sailor and soldier fairs, and in the great band of the sanitary comm'vsion.
Surely there is some promise in this of the vast peace festival of earth, of that time when wars shall be no more and all the world shall cease from strife. For as the influence of women comes more and tnore to be felt, it must still be on the side of succor and merey, until It may be held useless for men to spend their prowess inflicting when women spend theirs in healing, while their voice, whenever it can bo heard, the voice of the higher typo of women, of the thinkers and workers rather than of the passionate and partisan ones, will bo given for peace and only peace.
Meanwhile It has been pleasant to have such public acceptance of the power for usefulness of women in national crista,and to have the universal acknowledgement of the strength with which, if they did not bear arms hernselves, they have held up the hands of those who did,and of the fact that their efforts at the base of operations have been equal to another department in the conduct, of war, and that, the suffering of heroes would have been increased beyond computation but for women »md their work,™Harper's IWutnr.
The Ntory of Social Hello. Sometimes I doubt if 1 were born, writes a society belle In The lilies' Home Journal. I think I am the result of transmigration—first an orchid, next a bird of paradise, and Inst of nil, a blooded horse. I belong loan old family, and my solicitor tells mo that 1 have a great deal of money but whoever heard of a woman having enough? Mamma, very sensibly, trained
me to bo a coquet te. From the lime that 1 could stand 1 was fully aware of the value of my white »kin, my deep, dark eyes and that, attached to the wonderful ml hair, they made a gorgeous framing for my finely cut face.
I was willing to go tobedoarly, for 1 had been told of the good of those sleeping hours that como before 12 o'clock to be bathed and rubbed until I was weary enough to sleep again, because my nurse had said that this would make my form handsome and supple and my arms and neck the admiration of the world. School wo* nn unknown quantity to me—govern* canes and that sort of thing came and endured them, learned of them, and was sjM»ken of by them as the most beautiful girl they had ever seen—but one who was utterly heartless. They little understood that heart was the last thing that would be desirable in mv profession, for I made it such.
At 18 years of age I was brought out, but for three months Is^fore that my mother had taught mo exactly who among the men were eligible, who were uot, what women were to lie cultivated, what ones to Is* civil to and whnt one« to ignore. 1 made my llr-t appearance nt the Patriarch*' liall, and mamma very widely had me dnvwed in the flnast of white silk muslin, made in empire style, with a broad, white sash alxut my waist. a white rose in my hair, ami long, wlute gloves only partially covering my bonutiful arms. As was proper, I ac -epted the invitations to dance from the elderly men, from whom it was a compliment to rwcive them, and as far as possible I ignored the younger ones. I sought mamma's wing at the end of each danc*. and to her delight the impression left on every !»Mly*s mind was that of my being an extremely Ivautiful, ingenuous, young girl who knew nothing whatever about societ y.

Japanese Interiors.
(The houses that the Japanese women occupy are, it goes without Baying, as neat and wondroosly fashioned as themselves almost always full of surprises, with movable panels, with boxes and slides, with compartments of all shapes and astonishing little closets. Everything is sera pulously clean, even among the humblest* and of apparent simplicity, especially among the richest. Alone the altar of the ancestors, where sticks of incense burn, is gilded, lacquered and garnished like a pagoda with vases and lanterns. Everywhere else a purposed bareness—a bareness all the more complete and white if the dwelling pretends to elegance. No embroidered oipestries sometimes transparent portieres, made of strung beads and bamboos. And never any furniture it is on the floor rjr on little lacquer pedestals that necessary objects or vases of flowers
To the mistress.of the house luxury consists in the very excess of that cleanliness of which I spoke above, and which is otte of the incontestable qualities of the Japanese people. It is everywhere the custom to unshoe before entering a bouse, and nothing equals the whiteness of those mats upon which one never walks without flne socks with divided toes. The wood work itself is white, neither painted nor varnished, keeping as its sole ornamentation, among women of true taste, the imperceptible veins of the young pine.—Pierre Lot! in Harper's.
Inimical to Health.
It is too bad that the duties of our health inspectors do not cover the mysteries of the beauty shops and cosmetic parlors about New York. If they did the reports would be interesting in showing not only the baneful influence of the goods sold but the army of women from all sections of the city who are willing to risk comfort, money and health for the sake of "trying something that is warranted to remove tan and freckles, whiten the skin, tint the cheeks and soften the flesh."
The stuff is sold at the rate of $3 a pint and is just about as soothing to the face as an application of creosote, ammonia and soapsuds would be. At all events the effect produced by Mmc. de Humbug's balm of youth is exactly the same.
If you doubt this you have only to visit the cosmetic factories, West Fourteenth and Twenty-third streets, Broadway and Sixth avenue, and under the pretext of waiting for your sister see with your own eyes the "wonderful change in the appearance" made by the patent medicines. You won't know the customers, for the reason that they are heavily veiled, to hide the frightful ravages made by the poisonous lotions. .Most of theso customers are accompanied by their husbands, fathers or brother*, who como to swear at the madam, who knows in her heart she is trading on the credulity of her sex and advising the uso of a decoction the very ingredients of which are injurious.—New York World.
Young People Should Keep Houae. "The great increase in tho number of divorce cases In recent years," said an old lawyer, who scores of times had asked alimony for ill used clients, "is due in great part to the tendency o? tho middle classes of society to live in boarding houses and family hotels. With no housework to supervise, nor oven tho care of their own apartments, young wives and middle aged wives also find themselves with too much leisure on hnnd. To vary the, monotony of such a life protracted shopping excursions, street promenades and frequent theatre matinees are resorted to. "My advice to newly married couples," continued tho venerable vender of legal lore, "is to settle down to housekeeping, no matter on how modest a scale it may be. Even if the bride has to soil her white hands with housework she will be happier than if exposed to the dangers which lurk in the indolent life of a boarding house existence."—New York Telegram.
SureeMful Co-operation.
Perhaps tho most successful system of co-operative housekeeping in the world Is at Guise, a suburb of Paris, The association was founded in I860 by a largo hearted, largo brained Frenchman of wealth, who planned the system and furnished the capital. It opened with GOO persons or associates and now has a membership of thousand,*. Everything is bought in bulk, and so large are profits, owing to the excellence of the management, that it is sold at less than cost. In paying for rent the associate pays for food, fuel, light, lanedering and schooling, jnst as a tenant in a first class apartment house liquidates the expense of heat and janitor's service in the single charge of rent. In connection with the housekeeping service there Is a nursery, kindergarten and preparatory schools, where infants and children are cared for and educated.—New York World.
»tl$* North Had Traveled.
The late Miss Marianne North was one of the most notable of English women. About twenty year* ago, being rich and Independent, she went alone to India, China, Japan. Australia, California, the South Sea islands and the West Indies to study the native flora. She penetrated where flew men had set foot, and In twelve years of exploration made a priceless collection of plants ami drawings, which she deposited at Kew gardens Is a museum built at her own ex pease and presented as a free gift to the nation. Miss North was not only a naturalist, a linguist and an explorer, but ata artist, a musician and a most brilliant talker, as well as a noble hearted woman.—Harper's Bear.

that when milk has once been chilled it soars much more rapidly than the original article. The difficulty will, I think, be met by a general redaction on the part of the dairy companies in the quantity of ice used. It has been ascertained by experiment that when milk is cooled—that is, the animal heat got rid of—by exposing it more generally to the air or aerating it, the milk is better and will keep several hours longer. The process is perfectly simple and means a saving of hundreds of dollars to a dairy ice bill. It trill also make a large number of people independent of ice combines.—Interview in St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.
Soda Will Save Yon Feel.
A young friend said to me oac day: "We are fond of string brans, and they are the cheapest fresh vegetable one can buy if only it did not take so long to cook them, but unless I plan to have them on baking or ironing day I cannot afford them. It leems absurd to keep an extra fire for two hours just for a little mess of beans."
Have you had her experience? Try a little soda—just a generous "pinch" of soda for a common mess of beans, put into the water in which you boil them, will cook the toughest beans tender in an hour or less and detract nothing from their flavor. The same is true of boiled onions, beets, tough meats, eta In boiling a ham always paiboll in soda water, then take it out and wash and scrape well, add clear water, and you will be surprised to see bow much more sweet and tender your bam will be.
Apiece of fresh beef that has lain just long enough to become a trifle suspicious may be so renewed by parboiling in soda water as to be above reproach when placed before the most delicate nostrils. In the case of a beefsteak or roast a thorough rinsing in cold soda water will prove quite effectual, when tho taint is so slight as to be wholly on the exposed surface.—Good Housekeeping.
The Diplomat's Compliment. Madame Machetta, better known, perhaps, as Blanche Roosevelt, is not only a very clever litteratrice, but she is still one »f the most beautiful women of the present day. To these personal charms a very delicate compliment was recently paid by iht, Russian ambassador to the court of St. James. Before leaving St. Petersburg he was commissioned by the czarina to send her the "photographs of tho six most beautiful women in London." The ambassador managed to execute it with a skill which proves him to be a diplomat ol the very first water.
In duo time a frame reached the czarina, in which were grouped six photos. The center one was an enlarged head of the Princess of Wales, round which were arranged five smaller studies of Madame Roosevelt-Moclietta in various poses. The delicate compliment was duly appreciated by the czarina, who sent to Madame Machetta a valuable scarf of Russian lace and an autograph letter, which, no doubt, the recipient considered still more valuable.—London Modern Society.
Household Linen.
A correspondent inquires in regard to the cost of a very modest outfit of linen for the household and if it can be purchased ready made
In reply it mc be said that three pairs of sheets at and three pair at $1.25 (each pair), would !e sufficient for a start. Six pairs of pillo* cases at fifty-five ceuts per pair, three be: tor cases at fifty cents each, one dozen els at $3, six bath towels for $1.50, one dr (coarse) for $2.25, one piece of crash kitchen use, 81. This would do for beginning for two people, but to the list must bo added one best damask tablo cloth and three of German linen. Two dozen napkins, one large, one small, anu ouo dozen doilies, a dozen china towels and three table squares. These last will add $15 to tho original list, which amounted to something less than $31. A very respectable outfit could therefore be purchased, ready for use, except hemming the crash, for about $35. Of course the bed linen would bo cotton.—Housewife.
A Profitable Occupation.
Among the many ingeuiotis ways iu which women seek opportunities to make a livelihood is that of going around to the houses of society people and cleaning and repairing flne dresses that have been accidentally soiled or otherwise injured. It is said that there are women who find every hour of the time profitably employed in this manner in fact more work of the sort than they can accomplish is offered them. Lace mending Is included in this service, and the skill of some of these nomad renovators of such cobweb finery amounts almost to lace weaving.—New York Times.
The holy synod of the Russian or Greek church has just issued a decree imposing a religious penance from three to five years In length upon all widows and widowers who are wicked enough to attempt matrimony for the third time, and for all widows of 60 who are found guilty of the second offense a rigid penance of two years' duration is prescribed.
One of the favorite arguments against sending girls to college is that so many of them get married after graduation, and therefore the work and money is wasted. Another popular objection is that college knowledge makes them so wise and unattractive they won't have any chances to marry.

WHAT ONE GIRL DID.
Emily Gelger, a Belle of the Rerolution, Keeps a Secret in a Novel Way. There is an old saying that Gen. Greene "exchanged his northern laurels for southern willows." It is true that he met with many reverses during his famous campaigns in the Carolinas, and more than once was compelled to flee from a victorious foe but these defeats do not detract from his greatness.
During one of his retreats, when he had Lord Rawdon at his heels, as it were, Gen. Greene was desirous of sending a message to Gen. Sumter, the "Gamecock of the Revolution," who was then on the Wateree with his detachment, Greene was anxious to form a junction with Sumter, believing that combined the American forces might fall upon Rnwdon with success, as he bad divided bis army and seemed to offer himself as an easy prey.
In vain did Greene look for some one to carry the message. The country between him and Sumter was full of Tories, who never neglected an opportunity to shed the blood of Whigs, as the patriots were termed. The bravest men in the neigh boi hood shrank from carrying the dispatch, and Greene was despairing when a young girl presented herself at his headquarters. "I hear that you want to send a message to Gen. Sumter," said the beautiful stranger. "I will take it to him. My name is Emily Gciger, and I want to do something for my country."
The patriot general was thunderstruck, but at the same time he hailed her proposition with unbounded delight.
I know the country through which I will have to pass," continued Emily, "and if you will trust mo with the message I promise to place it in Sumter's hands."
Accordingly Gen. Greene wrote a letter which he gave the fearless girl, at the same time tolling her its contents, which she was to communicate verbally'to Sumter in ca»e of accidents and with the paper carefully concealed Emily Geiger mounted her horse and rode away. She had embarked on a dangerous journey, but this did not deter her. Her way led through some unbroken country and over ground infested by British and Tories, acd on the second day she was halted by some of Lord Rawdon's scouts, who refused to believe her artfully contrived answers and conducted her into their camp.
Confronted by the new danger, Emily Geiger's daring did not desert her. She recalled Gen. Greene's instructions, and when she had been placed in a room, there to remain until she bad boon searched by one of her own sex, she made up her mind what she would do. A Tory had been dispatched for tho woman who Was to search tho suspected girl, and before he had returned with her Emily ate up Greene's written instructions to Sumter, piece by piece. It wus her only hope to escape punishment, if not death, and at the same time keep Greene's designs from becoming known to the -.nemy.
When the Tory woman arrived Emily was carefully searched, but nothing damaging was found on her person, and as she refused to disclose the secret she was suspected of having in her possession the Tories were compelled to set her at liberty. Even then she was released under protest, and when she rode off was secretly followed, but taking a roundabout route she deceived her foes, and soon afterward galloped into Sumter's camp, much to the surprise and delight of that officer.
One of the historians of the revolution has truly said that "the salvation of the army was due more than once to the watchfulness and tact of woman," and we have thought to rescue from the annals of that trying period the name of one of its young heroines—Emily Geiger.—T. C. Harbaugh in New York Herald.
A Peculiar Qualification.
A lot of women were discussing the servant problem, and one clever woman put forward an entirely new idea as the desirable requirement for a servant, "I have grown modest of late years," she said. "I no longer demand, as I once used to, that my cook shall know how to cook or that my waitress «ha]i understand sewing—not at all. The one demand I do make in the •errant who comes to me is that she shall have a grief. I advertise' Wanted, a cook with a grief—serviceable and warranted to last.' There is nothing that will make a woman so tractable and teachable as a grief. And, yon see, a woman with an affliction doesn't want to be off nights like ga.y hearted girls. She stays at home and nurses her sorrow and thinks up little things to do about the house meantime. "Such a woman will accomplish a great amount of work. What kind of a grief do I find most serviceable? A disappointment in love, if I treat it with deep consideration and reppect, will last the longest—longer erm tlmn mourning for a dead husband." —New York Evening San.

National Hair Remedies.
To remedy falling of the hair each nation has its prescriptions. The American treatment with vaseline is the only one 1 can recommend from experience. The French cling to the use of brandy and quinine a teaspoonful of quinine powder in half a pini of brandy, diluted to suit the skin, applied night and morning to the roots of the hair. A weak decoction of walnut leaves is another of their favor ite washes.
The English believe justly in Dr. Erasmus Wilson's lotion of eight ounces of cologne, one ounce tincture of cantharides, with half a dram each of oils of rosemary and lavender. One of their old recipes for the hair is a small handful of box leaves infused in a pint of boiling water, with five tables poo nfuls of Jamaica rum added after an hour.
Tho decoction may be strained or left a few days with the leaves in. These are standard old recipes against falling of the fcair and baldness, highly recommended for generations. I have been told that Norwegians and other people of the north of Europe use fresh sperm oil for the hair, and a prized restorer in this country owes its virtues to tho same thing. A Danish recipe highly prized is this: One ounce salt, three ounces of sweet oil, an ounce cayenne pepper, a small glass of spirits of ammonia, put in a large quart bottle and filled with hot water. It is well shaker and stands for ten days, when it must be strained through linen and kept for use. A sponge is wet with the fluid and the roots of the hair well rubbed with it at night. I muKt think the quantity of am monia excessive. For most women this will bear at least another pint of water.— Shirley Dare.
The Sex Are Queer.
There were four passengers of us who got off at a country junction to wait two hours for the train on the other lino—two men and two women. None of us had ever seeu each other before. The station was little better than a barn, with no houso nearer than a quarter of a mile. The women gave each other a look and entered the waiting room, where they Bat down as far apart as possible. "Well, old boy," remarked the strange man to me. "Have a smoke?" "You bet."
And in five minutes wo were well acquainted and playing eucher under the shadow of a box car. He didu't take me for a thief, and I never suspected him of murder, and the two hours went by in a hurry.
Not so in tho depot, however. For the first half hour the# wo women glared at each other. Noither would speak first. Each was afraid of the other. One looked out into a turnip field and tho other into a swamp. Now and then one or tho other mustered up courage to approach the door and look out, but alwayB to return to her seat again. Only ono had a watch. She consulted it every five minutes, but the other dared not ask her what time it was.
As an offset, however, a wooden pail, half full of warm water, stood near her, and though the other lady was dying for a drink she dared not go over to the paiL One had a novel and the other had a bundle of shells and curiosities, and they could have chatted and visited and read and had a good time. But they dared not. They had not been introduced. What an awful, awful thing if they had spoken and acted civilized, und then one had found out that the other was only a hired girll—New York Sun.
Speculating Over the Pudding. When I was a youngster, said a man a fow days ago, my mother never used to let us know what kind of pudding we were going to get for dinner.
And there were a lot of youngsters in that family, too youngsters in roundabouts and youngsters in petticoats, and life never lost its charm for them, because each day unfolded a mystery that touched life in its dearest aspect—the pudding for dinner. There was maternal wisdom for youl All day long there was something to speculate about, and to be vaguely glad over, as children can be, without quite remembering what it is that makes them glad.
And it wasn't the pudding alone— though, to be sure, any healthy stomached youngster can evolve an amount of optim ism over a pudding in prospectu that would put to tho blush many grown persons with a fortune in pnesentibus. It was tho not knowing. Mystery was the finest nnd most potent flavor that went Into the sauce, and the best of the pudding was in tho anticipation. Why, they ate pudding all day long, these wisely mothered children, and when the pudding m% ment actually came they were in a state of uncertain and rapturous expectation that would glorify the most commonplace batter that was ever beaten up out of eggs and flour Into such a pudding as the lips of children never touched before. And so there was something to live for and be glad over all day long, until the moment of realization came, and after that it was bedtime and then morning and another pudding.—New York Evening Sua,
