WOMAN AND HOME

PROGRESS OF LAWS IN PENNSYLVANIA RELATING TO WOMEN.

Wby Women Marry—The Coin of FoUt« Society—The Camp Game—Saving Her Boy*—Some Pretty FUlow*—Marriage

and Property. Formerly a married woman tvas in a condition of civil vassalage. Marriage merged her existence in that of her husband vested him with her personal property allowed him her earnings gave him her land rents, and disabled her from making any binding contract. She could enter no suit, nor make a will, and generally she was subject to the control of her husband, who could enforce his order with the birch.

Such, for ceuturies, was her condition in the mother country, and Blackstone complacently concluded his chapter on the subject by congratulating the "female sex on being so great a favorite with the laws of England." In Pennsylvania, too, her statu for 200 years was the same. It was not until the year of grace 1848 that her property was relieved from the control of her husband or liability to his creditors. In I80O. by her husband joining, she was given power to recover her property by suit. In 1851 she was allowed to loan money to her husband. In 1855 she could make a will. In the same year, on desertion by the husband, she could sell her property if authorized by court.

In l«ie she was empowered to receipt for a legacy 'under the will of her father." In 1833 she got privilege to mortgage her land, ff the husband consented. In 1871 power was granted her to sell her railroad stock! In 18T2 she acquired privilege to buy a sewing machine! On April 3, 1872, she was allowed her earnings, provided she spread upon the records of court her petitions to that effect. In 1878 she was empowered to •ell her land if she proved her husband a lunatic, and in

1887

some other privileges

were granted, as to which lawyers differ. That these rights were so long withheld is amazing, and that an act of assembly was ever necessary for a woman to "receipt for a legacy under the will of her father" (1) is enough to astound every god on Mount Olympus.

The whole policy was wrong in that disability was the rule instead of the exception.—Canonsburgh (Pa.) Notes.

Wliy Women Marry.

You see, the day has gone by when a man would do anything for a woman countries need to bo either very young or very olil when this sort of thing happens, but after all I can't help but remember that question, "What do women marry for?"

Some women marry because they want a home of their own, and these are my conclusions:

Some women marry because they haven't the moral courage to remain single. Some women marry because they want a little moro money in their purses and a little larger credit at the shops.

Some women marry because they want to put "Mrs." on their visiting cards. Some women marry because their mother wants thorn' to.

Some women marry because a man asked them to, and they don't like to Bay no.

Some women marry for money—money, aud nothing else. Theso women get the money, and with it great responsibilities they never dreamed of.

Some women marry because they love the man, because they want to be his wife, his friend and his helpmate because they want to make him feel that there is one woman in tho world whom ho can love and cherish, and from whom ho will receive love and consideration in return. Because they want him to feel that if sorrow comes he has a sympathizing, loving friend close beside him, and that in tho day of joy there is one who can give him smile for smile. These are the women worth marrying. The others are of little worth, and never would be missed if they suddenly dropped out of tho matrimonial bonds.—Bab's New York letter.

Tho Coin of Polite Society. Whenever a kindly or considerate act is shown you, my dear, be always careful to say that magic index to good breeding— "Thank you." Certainly you say it to tho man who has given you an evening of amusement at the theatre or the concert, or who has taken you to and fetches you from a friend's home. To whom else should you nay it?

To the maid servaut who hands you your letters, who makes a special point of keeping your room in good order, and who, remembering that you liked certain things placed in ncertain way. was careful always to do if.

To tho stranger who holds opeu a door for you, to the elevator man who saves vou climbing

many stairs, to the man who

gives you a sent in a car or ornuibus, and to anybody, in any station of life, who shows you a courtesy of any kind.

We aw apt to be very stingy with our thanks to accept thiugs entirely too much for granted, and to believe, in having courtesies shown us, that they are only what we deserve. Now this is the wrong way of looking at it. and some day it will servo that girl right—that girl who believes that the good things of life in the way of politenessnre her* lawfully, and that without any effort on her (Kirt they can be retained, will discover her mistake.

You ran never be too generous with thank yous 1 hey are the current coin of polite society, the circulation of which tonus to make everybody more eager to do unto others as they would be done by. No girl makes a mistake who has a thank you always ready, it is the index to a good character and a loving heart. Politeness is golden, and thank ywtt is the coin which passes every where and is rccognlwd by all. —Kuth Asi.ruore in Ladies^ Home Journal.

careful of it! But I mean through God's help to have my boys all grow up to become good men, and if it's going to take a pretty room and pretty carpets to help do it, why I am very glad I have them, that's all!—Cor. Detroit Free Press. t*

Where^Women Get Coppers. "She was such a pretty girl I hated to give her coppers," said the conductor of a Fourth avenne car on a down trip yesterday, "but, then, what am I to do? I can't lug three or four pounds of coppers around in my pockets, can I? Then, besides, it's the women who give me Jhe coppers, and it's only right that they should take them back again."

Having thus eased his conscience of the sin of giving coppers to the pretty girl the conductor looked at me for approval. "Where do women get so many more coppers than men?" I asked the conductor, curiously. "Well, you see, it is this way," he replied "there never was a woman who didn't love to go shopping, and then, of course, they are always on the lookout for bargains, and the consequence is where they trade everything is marked 09 cents, $1.87, 99K tents, and so on. It makes the women think they are saving money, and at the same time it makes us an awful bother, for in every purchase they make they get a lot of coppers which they in turn unload on us poor conductors. Men don't give us coppers often, so we generally shove ours off on the women."—New York Herald.

The Camp Game.

Select two gentlemen as captains, who in turn call the names of those they desire to enter their particular camp. When a division of the company hats thus been made the camps separate, each having one room. They then select some word or words denoting a substance or object, as, for example, the loud pedal of the piano, in the Profile house, in the White mountains, or the dragon flies painted on the ceiling of the bath room in the House of Pansa in Saratoga, or any other thing seemingly impossible to guess.

When both camps have decided on an object to be guessed the captain of each details a person to be interviewed by the other camp. This person must correctly answer, by yes or no, all questions, but must not convey any unnecessary information. As soon as the object is guessed the camp immediately clap, so announcing that they are the victors, and the individual who has been questioned'becomes a member of the enemy's camp. The one possessing the most people at the close of an hour is the winner of the game.—Emma J. Gray in Good Housekeeping.

Pretty Pillows.

An effective pillow for a couch is made from four of the small Turkish squares or small Japauese squares of embroidery. The squares are set together with an insertion of stout white or ecru lace, and colored ribbons that match the colors of the squares are run through the insertion. Such a pillow seen had the embroidered squares in pink and dark olive, and the insertion run with ribbons of the same colors. The back of the pillow was olive surah silk and a cord of the two colors edged the pillow.

A pillow for an infant's cradle is beautiful made in the same way. Take four small and fine white linen doilies with a hemstitched border and fasten them together with an insertion of lace. Back the pillow with fine liuen and edge it with a frill of lace, or of fine linen with a narrow lace on its edge. The pillow itself that is used under the cover should be of the finest white hair in a white cotton or coarser linen case. Feathers and down are so heating to the head that the hair pillow is now considered more hygienic.—New YorkPost.

Where to Put on a Child's Wraps, Thero is another thing that mothers and nurses often do thoughtlessly, and with no eud of evil results to the children. This is the habit of dressing them for their out of door drive or walk in the warm nursery, and then letting them stand around for some time while the nurse gets herself ready. For that is the usual practice. The nurse dresses the baby first, even to gloves and tippet, and then she begins leisurely on the details of her own toilet. Meanwhile the little one waits about in the warm room, getting warmer and warmer, until at last, when it gets into the outer air, it is in a perspiration that will induce a chill at once.

A child should not have its wraps put on until the very last moment. And then it should be done, not in a warm room, but in the hall, from which it should be carried lis soon as the operation is completed. In that way the change in temperature is modified as much as is possible, and the liability to eold is greatly lessened.—New York Eveuing Sun.

Marriage aud Property.

From every point of view 1 think it is time that we got rid of "with all my worldly goods I thee endow." The married women's property act, 18^-2, has put it out of date. Under the common law this declaration of unlimited endowment was proper enough. AH the wife's worldly goods passed to the husband, aud it was only fair that she should enjoy (theoretically) reciprocal rights in her husband's substance. But the act has changed all that. Matrimony no longer affects the lady's rights in her property. She need uot endow her husband unless she likes why, then, should he endow her? The businesslike plan would be for each to state in figures the precise amount of en dowment contemplated—whether it is a nobleman endowing his cook or a dnchess or baroness endowing some young spark whom she has a fancy to make her husband.—London Truth,

Professor Lowell's Sister.

It is not generally known that James Russell Ix)well has a sister who has gained some literary fame, and whose scholarship and gifts entitle her to wide recognition. Mary Traill Spence Lowell was born in lS10,"and is nine years the senior of herdistinguished brother. In 1883 she married Mr. Samuel R. Putnam, and since that time her home, has been in Boston, whew she still lives in her house on Beacon street.

Mrs. Putnam is noted as a linguist, and has written some very able papers on Polish aud Hungarian literature, and in 1961 she published

book called "Records

of an Obscure Man," S«on after she published a dnim.ntic i*cm called "The Tragedv of Errors and Tragedy of Success," and on the deatli of her father, the Ecv. Dr. Charles liOwdl, Mrs. Putnam wrot** the memorial Of hisHfo»—-New Orkv.r. Times-Democrat.

1 Judas Colored Hair:

I believe, after all, the stigma of "Judas colored hair," notwithstanding that red hair—yes, regular brick top hair—is desirable. Being a man it doesn't matter much to me what my complexion is, but if I were a girl and not already redheaded I would pray to be transformed into a golden blonde. In the first place, a redheaded girl never tans or turns brown. That comes, as I have learned fr9m a physician, because she has an excessive amount of iron in her blood.

It is the iron that gives the tint to the skin as well as to the hair. If a redheaded girl had less iron in her blood she would be adorned with a head of either black, brown, or chestnut colored hair. One drawback is the iron comes out in blotches sometimes, making what we call freckles. It is noted as a somewhat singular thing— perhaps the iron in the blood has something to do with it—that mosquitoes never bite red haired persons.—St. Louis Republic. j-,

Make the Tea Table Attractive. No domestic sight is pleasanter in its way than a tea table on a cold winter night, spread with a bright cloth and set out with dainty china and shining silver, and with all the cheer inspiring appurtenances of the tea tray, wfth the plate of hot bread, the savory dish of hot jneat, and the little relishes that the housekeepers know well how to supply. And in summer its counterpart is seen in the table laid in the room brightened by the level sun's rays, where a crisp salad, piles of white and brown bread, and a plate of rusk or tea biscuit, pitchers of milk, and a dish of berries with cream galore revive the fainting appetites and spirits of those who have borne the heat and burden of the day.—Harper's Bazar.

A Hint to Iiovers In This.

One of the Hotel Duquesne guests, evidently a railroad man, noticed that the telegraph operator was at leisure about 8:30 o'clock, and soon began a telegraph correspondence with him. As a sender he used a lead pencil and the showcase. The operator had no difficulty in catching everything. The gentleman declared that he could do much better on a piano, as it was upon that he learned. "I have taught my daughter telegraphy on the piano," said he, "and we have great times holding our conversations from either end of the instrument. We both use the same instrument, though, which dnM not often occur with bona fide telegraphy."—Pittsburg Dispatch.

German Versus American Girls. German girls are beginning' to resent with bitterness of spirit, as do their English sistci-s, the encroachment of American beauties upon their preserves. These pretty, graceful and brilliant daughters of Columbin are sent to Germany to study music, pnSiting, literature, etc.. and, while quickly i. storing the arts, subjugate the hearts of the susceptible German officers as well. The number of officers with American wives seems to be rapidly on the increase, and the faithful German spinsters, with their frugal habits and domestic skill, object to the invaders with justifiable wrath.—Berlin Letter.

The Queen of Society.'

Mrs. Astor possesses dignity of manner tempered with a sweet and serious courtesy. She carries herself calmly, is self poised and serene as the evening star, yet without a trace of coldness. She greets her guests with a quaintly attractive if rather queenly little bend of the head, then a clear, direct cordial look of kindly recognition, supplemented by a plain friendly American hand shake, and the right word to the right person in the right place.—New York Home Journal.

A lady who was sick in bed for many months evolved the idea of an invalid's tablecloth. The napkin which had been used was never large enough to protect the bedclothes from the tray and dishes, so she took a piece of heavy linen as long as the bed was wide and twenty inches in width. This she hemstitched and embroidered in outline, and the result was something useful and pretty as well as pretty.

I love that unconscious boldness with which the happy child confronts ray own gaze with a look of sympathetic equality in its eyes the smile that first floods the eyes and then broadens the month and dimples the cheek before it confides to ine with a little ripple of laughter some great joke or some great secret. Parents miss much who do not treat their children as equals.

Patti was only seven when she first went on the stage to sing. Her initial appearance was at a concert in Niblo's garden Dec. 3, 1851. Her formal debut in Opera was made at the Academy of Music on the night of Nov. 24,1859, when she sung the title role in "Lucia diLammermoor." She was then only 15 years old.

No graduate of Vassar college has ever been divorced from her husband. Such is the statement of a man who married one of them, and who declares that the young ladies who have been educated at the college are the best cooks in the world.

In Turkey woman is held in the most rigid seclusion. She must always appear veiled. With pigs and .dogs she is forbidden to enter a mosque, and the Koran declares a woman who is unmarried to be in astate of reprobation.

Each find every woman nowadays can study the point at which she feels she is likely to fail first, and concentrate the chiefest muscular development there, not neglecting general exercises meantime.

A USEFUL AND NECESSARY ADJUNCT TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD.

In Pleasant Weather Children Should Be Tanght to Live Oat of Doors—Th» Sunniest Room in Every Home Should Be

Fitted Up for the Children.

The choice of a day and night- nursery certainly is ar important factor in the proper physical '. "elopment of a boy or a girl. In the late sv.: :ig, warm summer and early fall,all children should live as much as possible in the open air. If by good fortune the home Is in a village, or on a farm, or in a city where householders have lots ol goodly size, the service of the nursery maid is reduced to the minimum in the season for out of door life, and the mother need only consider, in the furnishing of the play room, the necessities which come with inclement weather. As early as possible teach the children to live out of doors. 'When too tiny to do anything but sleep in the sun, as do the insects and animals of all ages, have the nurse sit out of doors in an easy chair, and cuddling the little one in her arms, let him breathe in nature's tonic of fresh, sun warmed air: or bring out the baby carriage and let the naps be taken where, secure from draught, the baby lungs may take in pure air to vitalize the blood and give to the organism what is needed for growth.

When the child is awake let him sit in nurse's lap, and with a stick dig up the soil, and even on warm, sunshiny days, when a nice shower has softened the ground, let the child make mud pies, for so he gets near to our dear mother earth. He measures his latent faculty of creation, and if there be more than one child in the family a spirit of emulation will be aroused, and the first strivings to be more than ordinary will be born in the little soul.

OIVE THEM LIBERTY-.

The child whose face, hands, feet, nails are always immaculate is the unfortunate child who has never been allowed to come In contact with his mother earth, and such a child is very rarely well and strong. Play clothes should not be fine clothes, and one of the very first lessons to be taught a boy or girl is a due regard for the fitness of things, even in the small matter of suitable dress for different occasions. While a stick will answer for a little baby to prod the earth, children who are always impatient for some hard work should be supplied with little rakes and hoes and spades, and however small the garden plat let the child have apiece of it for himself.

In case of necessity mamma's chamber and the day nursery must be one but for the sake of both the children should, if possible, have their own room. The reason Is evident. What would delight the hearts of a bevy of children in the furnishings and appointments of a play room would offend the taste of a refined woman if she had always to live in it. Nine children out of ten would rather have the picture of a cow, or a horse, or a dog in the place of honor thau one of Whistler's finest etchings or even Millet's "Angelus."

And, on the other hand, the bric-a-brac and draperies which so tastefully udorn a lady's chamber would be considered veritable nuisances in the children's domain. "Put that vase down," "Don't touch the books," "Keep your feet off the sofa." "Stop making pictures on the windowpane," are commands which should never be issued to children -in their own domain, but which are certainly necessary when mamma's comfort is in danger or. the safety of her room furnishings imperiled.

FURNISHING A NURSERY.

In choosing the day nursery, or play room, the mother should consider tho fact that children, like plants, need a great deal of sutfshine and fresh air. They also need room to develop in hence, if I could have my way, the largest and best lighted upstairs room should be set apart for the children. I would have no draperies of any kind about the windows. To shut out any excess of sunshine Venetian blinds are the very best, because, made of wood, they can be wiped over often and so kept clean.

The walls, if the limits of the purse allow, should be painted, because paint can readily be cleaned, and:in the "long run,'' even though the cost be greater than paper, such a treatment of the walls is more economical. A quiet tone of gray, or dull yellow, makes a good shade for the eyes, and Is ateo a good background for pictures, many of which should be hung about the room. These should not be frequently changed, as children seldom grow tired of seeing the same thing. The theme of the pictures should be adapted to the age of the occupants of tho nursery.

In a thoroughly well built house, with uo cracks around the floors or below the windows to admit undesirable draughts of nir, the hard finished floor may be used, but it should be well covered to its utmost boundaries in winter by a good carpet rug, which, like the Venetian blind, is -susceptible of being thoroughly cleaned. Tho furniture of the room should be simple, but dainty.

A MODEL l'LAT ROOM.

In this nursery I should have) children spend the larger part of the life' which is not lived out of doors. The introduction of a young child to the family table is as hurtful to the child as it is often trying to the parents aud, unless as a matter of •heer necessity, this is to be avoided.

One of the happiest families of children I ever knew had their play room in the attic of a city house. Of course, under the eaves there were trunks and boxes where the family treasures were stored away, but curtains made of calico were so hung thiat all evidences of storage were shut out of sight, so keeping the little folk from the temptation to rummage. The floor was kept clean with frequent scrubbing, and rugs nearly covered it, so that the children, of whom there were six under 12 years, need not get cold sitting down to play games.

AH manner of toys were to be found a rocking horse to delight the boys, a swing hung front the rafters for baby, a small table for a doll's tea party, cribs and cradles for the dolls, blocks, Noah's arks, steam cars and express wagons—all in the graceful disorder characteristic of a play room in l*y time and all carefully pat in place wben "clearing up time" came.

In one corner was a real little kitchen, with oilcloth oa the floor, a toy stove and ita paraphernalia, tabs, clothes hoese, etc., that the little girls might taste in advance tbe~deli«hts of housework. Surely all this indk that the pan '5 of tb little folk 1 their happines ad pro, develat hear'. The windows uncur"r, pie ot six:-'' ar:-1 an .. stc gar* t~. -jdet, ksat, of an oj fire.

SEAL FINISHERS.

Hands Must Be Exceedingly Skillful to Sew the Costly Saeques of Fur. In the summer and autumn there is plenty of work for seal finishers or girls who know how to sew sealskins and other furs. The employment of girls in this sort of work is comparatively recent. A few years ago the cutting and sewing of fur skins were mainly done by men. Sometimes a man would teach his wife or his daughter, but the men monopolized the best work and earned good wages. There is a skin cutter now working as a journeyman in this city who is said to be worth 160,000, and yet works his regular hours. He has introduced several generations of his family into one or another branch of the business.

Of late years the sharp competition which has got into the fur business as well as other lines of trade has led to increased employment of females as sewers. The work is nice, and requires a good deal of skill. The smooth, even coior of a lady's new sealskin sacque is not produced without a good deal of patient skill and dexterity. Of course skins do not come perfect. There are slight blemishes that need to be corrected. The skillful cutter takes a skin and blows the hair aside until he can see the roots all over the skin. If he finds a spot that is bare of hair he must select a piece of skin to fit it, and the hair must be exactly of the right length to fit Ou a seal the hair near the tail is shorter than the hair near the head. Of course a piece of fur from near the tail will uot fit in a bare spot near the head of a skin. The cutter has a peculiar method of shaping the pieces to be set in, and this must be understood by the girls who do tho sewing, so that a girl who has worked at the business becomes an expert, and a girl who has not served an apprenticeship at sewing furs is of little use in the shop.

It is not an unusual thing for one large establishment to have fifty or sixty girls sewing furs in the busy season in summer. The most expert girls readily get employment. the year round, while those who are less expert are the first to be discarded, and go from shop to shop. The wages earned is somewhat higher than the prices paid for ordinary sewing, as the business is somewhat unhealthy and requires cbnsiderable skill. The girls earn from $9 a week rtpward. Frequently when fur houses advertise for help girls apply who are totally ignorant of the business, and pretend that they know how, but they are soon found out and discharged.—New York Sun.

Wages of Lace Makers.

The finest lace that is mode today is tht point de gaze. This is made in Belgium. The net itself is ueedlework, upon which the pattern is wrought, while the net is stretched over a background of paper. The work is exceedingly fine and exacting, and because of its tediousness those who are engaged in the manufacture of itarescl dom able to earn more than a few cents a day. Not much better than this are the wages of the torchon workers, who make the real torchon in a little town in the south of France called Le Puy. During a year of ordinary labor they average from four to six cents a day, although iu special years, when there is a greater demand for their varieties of lace, they sometimes earn from twenty to sixty cents a day.—New York Evening Sun.

Big: Partridge Story

A western journal relates tho following: A few mornings ago Thomas Trees went down the creek from his father's house to examine some traps he had set. While inspecting the traps he heard his dog making an unusual noise some distance below him. On going to the dog he found him lying on the ground and partridges sticking out all around his body. The dog had found a flock, and alighting in the midst had pinioned ten, but when he rose up eight of them escaped, he still holding two with his paws. Thomas secured the two partridges—the others all escaping. This is an extraordinary feat for dog, and only needed a word from the young man to have secured the whole of the birds originally captured by tho dog.

Of Course It's a Woman. "The hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that moves the world." The mother sitting beside and rockiag, the cradle, often singing her sad lullaby, may bo thus shaping, as it were, the destinies of nations. But if diseases, consequent on motherhood, have borne ber down, and sapped her life, how mournful will be her song. To cheer,tbe mother, brighten her life, aud brighten her s'ong, Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, has, after long experience, compounded a remedy which he bas called his "Favorite Prescription," bftoause ladles preferred it to all other. He guaranteex It to cure nervousness, neuralgic pains, bearingdown pains, irregularities, weakness, of prolapsus, headache, backache, or any of the ailments of the female organs. What ho asks Is, that the ladies should give it a fair trial, and satisfaction is assured. Money refunded, if it doesn't give satisfaction.

Kupepsy.

This is what you ought to have, in fact, you must have it, to fully enjoy life. Thousands are searching for it daily, and mourning because they find it not. Thousands upon thousands of dollars are spent annually by our pcple in the people in the hope that they may attain this boon. Ana yet it may be bad by all. We guarantee that Electric Bitters, If used according to directions and the use persisted in, will bring you Good Digestion and oust the demon Dyspepsia and install instead Eupepsy. We recommend Electric Bitters for Dyspepsia and all diseases of Liver, Stomach and Kidneys. Sold at 50c. and $1 per bottle by J. & C. Baur, druggists. 4

How to Succeed.

This is the great problem of life which few satisfactorily solve. Some fail because of poor health, others want of lack, but the majority from deficient grit—want uf nerve. They are nervous, irresolute, changeable, easily get the blues and "take thcspirit* down to keep the spirits up," thus wasting money, time, opportunity and nerve force. There Is nothing like the Restorative Nervine, discovered by the great specialist, Dr. Miles, to cure all nervous diseases, as headache, the blues, nervous prostration, sleeplessness, neuralgia, 81. Vitus dance, tits and hysteria. Trial bottles and a line book of testimonials tree at all druggists. 2
