WOMAN AND HOME.

VAST STRIDES MADE IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF HOME GOWNS.

A Woinan'» View* on Fanning—111* of Babyhood A Difficult Question A Game for the Young—Trained Cook*.

Cleanliness In the Kitchen. In former years it must be confessed that, even among the ricb, but little attention was paid to house dress. Any gown not appropriate for the street was considered quite good enough to be worn at home—an erroneous theory which we are glad to state has become quite obsolete. The idea that ill fitting, ugly, or even slightly soiled gowns should be reserved for use in the home was a mistaken one, and ft Is well that fashion has prescribed as definitely as she has for the thorough remedying of this evil by devising a system of dress to be worn within the sacred precincts of home, which is at once conducive to comfort and attractiveness for it is a noteworthy fact that anything approaching compression or bands* about the waist has been carefully eliminated from this variety of attire.

This in itself demonstrates a vast stride in the direction of progress for when fashion has set her seal upon so hygienic and beautiful style as that at present affected for house wear, together with all that she has done recently in the complete eradication of bustles and many other obnoxious features of woman's attire, great things may Ihj expected in future. In this particular, at least, one point has been scored in favor of the hygienic welfare of the fashionably clad woman she is not hampered in the least by the easy fit and usual light weight of the gown she wears at home, no matter what excruciating agonies she may feel called upon to endure in public.

Moreover, her tea gowns, often beautiful as dreams, if rightly devised, are frequently preferred by those who surround her in the home circle to anything else she wears. They admit of a wide play of originality, and are as graceful and fanciful as they are comfortable and healthful.— Jennesa Miller's Magazine.

A Woman's Viows on Inarming. Mrs. Clay, of Kentucky, is an earnest advocate of farming enterprise for self supporting women who have also a family of children to support. She says:

For on the farm she will not have to leave her children in order to make her support, but can give them her personal attention. There are neighborhood public schools to which they can bo sent. Each child can have an interest in the farm, and take part In making it productive. The pigs, calves, etc., the boys can care for the fowls can be cared for by the girls, and both can help in the garden and yard and keep the flowers in order. By a fruit and vegetable garden, with bees and fowls, a woman can support, her children comfortably, and get their clothing and groceries in exchange, have a her.lthy employment, pure fresh air to breathe, keep her children free from the polluting influences of the street, and have uo rent gatherer call on her when her purse is low.

The expenses for clothiug ami fuel are less, and it is not necessary to have so much cash on hand. Sho cau keep a cow for milk and butter, a horse and spring wagon to carry her fruit and vegetables to market, and tho family to church if too far out to walk. The slops and waste from garden and kitchen will fatten hogs enough for meat and lard. There is nothing about farming that a woman may not learn to do, and it seems to me a thousand times preferable to living in a tenoment house, in afoul, close st reet, on a scant income, with stale meat and vegetables to eat. Few persons in calculating the profits of a farm take into account tho liviug that a good farmer can have, mid at so small a cost.

I would advise no one to buy a farm before sho is able to pay for it, or at least half of it. Better buy less, and as you have the means add to it. I would rather have fewer acres of good, productive land, well situated, than twice the number of acres of poor land. It takes just so much labor to till an acre, and good land well tilled produces tvvico ns much as poor land well tilled. If a woman is able to live comfortably and givo her children a good education in tho common schoolB and keep her home, sho hiis dono well. Few persons do more than that.

Ills of Babyhood.

It is notable that fever or any inflammatory diseases will produce a much greater acceleration of pulse in a child than iu an adults Qfteu slight attack of indigestion, which a man would not notice, will make a baby's pulse run very high and there is often exacerbation toward evening. An irregular intermittent pulse is indicative of fully developed meningitis and other severe organic diseases of the brain. But sometimes it comes from disease of the heart, and to decide its cause ono must be careful to consider other symptoms.

The baby's stomach is very small in proportion to its size, and the intestinal digestion very rapid. Therefore, during the first few months of its life it takes very little food at a time, if by any chance the stomach is overloaded uature resists, and the contents are simply thrown up. It is Important, then, that a mother should know that when milk conies up uufer-mentc-d, just ns the child has swallowed it, the stomach has taken in more than it can hold, and there need not be necessarily any difficulty with the food.

Besides, it is a fact that the liver, which is very large in proportion to the siae of the child, sometimes presses against the stomach, if the laby is laid on the left side after nursing, and this compression may cause vomiting so it is wise always to have a new born baby, indeed any child not large enough to turn itself, laid first ou its right side to sleep. This makes room for the stomach, and prevents any pressure vpon the hoart. -Dr. Julia Holmes Smith in New York Ledger. 3?

A Game for the Young.

I will now describe a game in which the mind is.brought into play. First of all the stage coach. The playera seat themselves in a circle. That one of th«m who is the best hand at making up a story is chosen to be driver. If none of the boys feels equal to the position a grown persoti may fill it. Then to eavii one is given the name of something in connection with a stage coach or the harness—such as pole whiflletree, thorough brace, trace, collar, reins, etc. Every player having received a name, the driver takes his stand where the whole circle is under his eye, and proceeds to relate a thrilling narrative of the adventure of a coach on a rough and muddy road in the dead of night, which should simply be a harrowing record of disaster.

Whenever the word pole, whiflletree, collar or reins comes in the players bearing that name must spring from their seats, turn completely around and sit down again. Whenever the word stagecoach is mentioned all the players must jump up, turn around and then exchange seats. The failure to do this promptly in either case entails a forfeit, and when the story is ended the forfeits are to be dealt with in the time honored manner.—J. McDonald Oxley in New York Herald.

Care of Parlor and Bedroom. It is a difficult matter to describe what care should be taken of the parlor, for each individual has a special taste of furnishing and decorating, which seems to be the entertaining subject among, many women. This room, although little occupied, requires ventilating every morning, and the shutters should be allowed to remain open through the entire day. The same advice may be applied to the bedroom or chamber with a little more emphasis, and an earnest plea for plenty of fresh air, and a greater welcome extended to the purifying rays of the ascending sun.

It is an unhealthy practice for elderly people to sleep in the same bed with children, and as few as possible should be confined in the one room. No fire, heat, nor light of any kind should be burned all night, for they impoverish the air and unquestionably "feed upon our very vitals." Cold, damp beds are extremely dangerous, and no oue should enter the chilling sheets without first having wrapped themselves securely in a good woolen blanket.

The housemaid should never forget to turn the mattresses in the morning and to thoroughly air the sheets, quilts and pillows. Water that has stood in a bedroom over night is not considered pure, and must therefore be used for washing purposes only. The spare room should be cleaned and heated at least once a week, to prevent tho settling of a killing dampness. —Dr. Joint Shippman in Hall's Journal.

Have a Good Fire.

No intelligent woman would Mint of sitting down to sew with a needle devoid of a point, or attempting to write without peD or pencil, yet many a one will ruin temper and food by attempting to cook with a poor fire. Sometimes, it is true, economy must bo closely studied, where the stove has done duty for manyyears, and the way is not clearly shown to obtain anew one with modern improvements. But many a housewife will spend much care and labor in the preparation of some elaborate dish, and then spoil the whole by attempting to cook it with an indifferent fire. Although more or less cooks burn their food, the greatest evil seems to arise from too slow a fire, so that from the oven emerge soggy pie crust, heavy cake and partially cooked roasts.

A well beaten omelet is spoiled because, tho fire being low, the cook does not wait for the frying pan to become thoroughly heated, trusting to "luck" that it "will come out all right." The doughnuts "soak fat" because the fat had not been brought to the proper heat. Fifteen minutes are wasted in stirring a pudding, because it would take the milk so long to come to a boil that the impatient cook added the eggs and corn starch before the milk boiled. Many a woman spends all of Saturday forenoon with her baking, which might easily have been done in two hours, and with better success, had she begun with a good steady fire.—Inez Redding in Good Housekeeping.

The Pulse.

The pulse is felt by placing the tips oi oue or more of the fingers upou the radial artery, near the wrist, and holding them there several minutes. Care must be token not to so compress the artery its to stop the circulation. Note is taken of the frequency of the beat. The pulse is quick or slow, weak or strong, ivgula" or irregular. When oue or more beats are omitted it is said to be an intermittiug pulse. Often it is necessary to compare the lie il pulses with each other, as well as with the im pulse of the heart, in order to ascertain whether differences in rhythm arc present.

The pulse is the index of the circulation and aids in determining many morbid conditions, but as a whole it is not of as great importance as some of the older writers on medicine would lead us to suppose. Still it is the duty of the nurse to become familiar with the normal pulse, and learn to detect any change in the pulse iu patients nnder her chaw, so as to report intelligently sncli change to the attending physician. A feeble, rapid pulse always indicates a weak heart, and in fevers should put the attendants upon the alert-—S. Francis Brown, M. D., in Housekeepers' Weekly.

Removing Children's Teeth. The extraction of the sixth year molar in the mouths of children is a much disputed point, but briefly it amounts to this: Too often parents neglect the mouths of children, believing that new teeth will come in place of those that are decayed.

The sixth year molar is the first of the permanent set of teeth, and where, at the age of eleven, or before the appearance of the twelfth year molar, it is found so badly »decayed that the pulp must be or is destroyed it is frequently wiser to remove it (and it* fellow in the same jaw If that is decayed), hoping that the erupting twelfth year molar will then appear further forward, and eventually the space be

ated. Thus the wisdom tooth has plenty of space and becomes more useful than

b* boiled without losing some of its nourishing qualities and enriching the water in which it is cooked. The French process of braising, by means of which meat is closely covered and slowly boiled in a stock which becomes gradually absorbed by the meat, is the only one by which the meat does not suffer actual loss. There should be a slight ebullition at the edge of the pot, nothing more. This ebullition should be kept up steadily until the meat is tender, and no longer, as nothing is more injurious to any boiled dish thau to allow the boiling to stop or to cook it biter it is done.—Exchange. .,

V_. Turning: a Sleeping Baby. My mother taught me not to allow my baby to sleep on one side longer than an hour. It is very easy to turn them over without waking them, and it tends to prolong their naps. I take a firm hold of the clothing near the waist and a little below, and roll the baby gently over. It will not waken the lightest of the little sleepers if properly done, and then it is delightful to see them stretch a little and cuddle down in the new position, as though appreciating the change. When they are unable to turn themselves they get cramped after sleeping an hour in one position, and that wakens them and makes them irritable.

If mothers of cross babies will try this plan I am sure they will find it "helps."— Fannie Stoney in Ladies' Home Journal.

Sister Chesebrougli's In teres tine Family. On the morning of Oct. 21, 1890, Mrs. Charlotte L. Chesebrough died at her home iu Carey, O., aged 81 years 5 months and 6 days. She was born in New York state, and in 1833 was married to William Chesebrough in her native state. They came to Ohio in 1840. Her husband died eighteen years go. She reared a large family all were members of her church. Her first child was a boy, the second a girl, and then alternately boy and girl until six boys and six girls made up the family. The first three boys had blue eyes and the first three girls black eyes, while the second three boys had black eyes.^jid the second three girls blue eyes, and the middle one, George, had, when born, one blue eye and one black eye.—Christian Advocate.

Cleanliness In the Kitchen. Little need be said about the kitchen, for every ono knows that the principal instructions would be embraced iu this one word—cleanliness. It is in this room that the habits of a woman can best be discovered, and where her filthy faults are manifestly proven. There is nothing more disgusting than the presence of vermin, and their existence depends chiefly upon the slothful habits of the cook. Powdered borax has been found very efficient in removing that predominant kitchen pest, the cockroach. Other expedients might be suggested, but the best of all can be found in the virtue of good common soap, with plenty of hot water.—Dr. John Shippman in Hall's Journal.

Trained Cooks.

One of the least crowded and best paid professions for women is that of a trained cook, who, in a most becoming cap and apron, goea out to private houses to prepare company luncheons, company breakfasts and dinners. Some with a taste in this dire:", ion have still been fearful of undertaking the work, expecting to endanger t: ir social place, but since women of good i: mi lies and well known social position :."e venturing to try th^fUnpk, to show tl: ir womanly independence and capability3 for business in all sorts of ways, graduates of cooking schools are not afraid to ask for engagements and to express their willingness to do the work.— Brooklyn Eagle.

Mush and Milk for Breakfust. A famous doctor says: Eat a good bowl of mush and milk for your breakfast, and you will not need any medicine. Indian corn contains a large amount of nitrogen,' has qualities anti-constipating, and is easily assimilated. It is cheap, and has great nutritive properties. A course of Indian meal in the shape of Johnny cake, hoe cake, corn or pone bread and mush, relieved by copious draughts of pure cow's milk, to which, if inclined to dyspepsia, a little lime water may be added, will make a life now a burden well worth the living, and you need no other treatment, to correct your nervousness, brighten your vision, and give you sweet and peaceful sleep. ______

Beef for Invalids.

Physicians always order for invalids beef thnt. is cooked very little, in order that none of the nourishment in the meat maybe dried away. Lean beef ground in a machine, salted to taste, made into cakes and broiled just enough to heat, is excellent for invalids to whom the doctor has forbidden vegetables. A person in health may suit his taste.—Hall's Journal.

Vivuulieres may occasionally be seen marching at the head of some French regiments of the line on review days, attired as of yore In their gay costumes and carrying a small parcel painted in the national colore slung over their shoulders. The race, however, is fast dying out, although women still assist as eantinieres in regimental refreshment departments.

Whenever silver, solid or plated, needs a thorough cleaning electro-silicon may be used, aud after the scouring has been done, with a brush dipped in the powder, the pieces should be rinsed off in scalding water containing a little ammonia, and well rubbed with flannel. Even the most tarnished silver may be brightened by this means.

Beware of "making-up" in hot weather. An eyebrow gently trickling down the cheek, veins on the temple that run, lips that gradually expand into laughable proportions, present a sorry spectacle. In fact it fa better to avoid "making-up"at all

EXAMINATION DINNERS.

They Are Conducted tor the CookinC Class in Pratt Institute. The floor is spotlessly clean, tho little gas stoves at each division of the long tables where the young cooks prepare their viands are in perfect order. Each drawer contains its proper allowance of spoons, knives, measuring cups, graters, egg beaters, eta, and is as fresh and sweet as it can be made. The big range smiles with a black good humor across the room to the polished glass doors of tho buffet, where a pretty china table service is displayed.

The trying times for the young housekeepers, after the six months' course is completed, are the examination and the "test dinner" which each student must satisfactorily prepare before receiving her certificate. For the test dinner she receives a plaifi bill of fare, consisting of soup, fish, roast, vegetables, dessert and coffee, each article being specified in kind, and this she is to serve nicely in courses to a little company of guests which always includes some of her instructors. Official guests are often requested to mark their estimates of the various dishes presented.

For instance, a well flavored 'appetizing soup may be marked 100 the fish or roast, lacking in some respects in cooking or service, receives 90 the vegetables, being just about right, 98. Perhaps a slow fire has spoiled the "bake" of a fourth dish, and GO is the highest mark allowed by one just diner while another, compassionating the anxiety of the young hostess, lets, mercy run away with his judgment and puts down an 80 for the unfortunate dish. But in general the favored guests speak in the highest terms of the choice cooking and dainty methodical service of the pupils in the cooking classes.

An additional course in fancy cooking, and another in the selection, preparation, and serving of food for invalids, are offered, and hundreds of Brooklyn young women are being trained in one of the most useful of all housewifely arts, and fitting themselves to help their mothers now, and to superintend homes of their own by and by. There are also evening classes where those who are employed in any way through the day are admitted at lower rates of tuition.

Occasionally a man comes over from Fulton market bringing a mysterious looking, odd shaped bundle, and various knives and saws. Perhaps the bundle contains a quarter of beef or a side of mutton, which tho man cuts up in the presence of the class, explaining carefully where are the best pieces for roasts, soups and stews. He teaches the pupils how to tell whether the meat is in good condition. Hanging on the walls is a large colored drawing of a cow marked off in portions for cooking, and on the following day each scholar is expected to tell how she would go marketing and select a first class dinner.—St. Nicholas.

-j

Economy Should Be Taught. American women are not as a rule selfish. Too many of them are niggard in their expenditures for their own comfort and lavish with their children and friends. There area great many more women who are wasteful of strength and nervous energy than there are women wasteful with money. A spendthrift is one who iy wasteful with the means given him. The woman who throws away her health in pursuit of a veal or fancied good, or for the necessities of life, is a worse manager than a spendthrift of money, inasmuch as health and strength are more valuable capital than any money that can be saved by the expenditure of them.

The French women, who are proverbially good managers, seldom scrimp themselves or their households, but by the most, sedu lous care secure well made clothing anil comfortable, even luxurious, table, on a sum that most American families woulc. be unable to live upon without the greatest personal sacrifices. The knowledge of such domestic economy as this is sadly needed in a country where, without a doubt, as much wholesome food is thrown away as is consumed, where as much material is cast into the ragbag or thrown away as is u.sed in dress, aud where more than double the money is paid and double the time allotted to tho ordinary domestic worker than is required to accomplish the same task in countries where low prices compel people to do all they can in a specified time.—New York Tribune.

U*e a Postage Stamp.

The value of the postage stamp as a time saver seems to be unknown to most women. The readiness with which half the women you know will take upon themselves errands that really require a great deal of time rather than do the errand by the aid of the post is amusing. .Sometimes it is pathetic. A busy woman with many calls upon her time will a long way to change a pair of gloves or to return a borrowed handkerchief when a postage stamp would save her an hour of time. Short letters will take the place of calls in nine cases out of ten when the calls are merely for small errands. The truth is, there is too great a regard for those small expenses which are after all economies with most of the less rich half of creation. —Boston Transcript.

To Clean Hardwood Floors. I have had eighteen years' experience in the care of hard wood floors. I have found that a preparation of turpentine and paraffine is the cleanest and best thing to rub them with. Buy the paraffine in cakes, shave thin and melt in an earthen dish on the top of the range. When melted take away from the fire and add the turpentine. Apply with old cotton, and rub after with a dry cioth. Care most he used in the melting, as the paraffine is inflammable Use one-quarter of a pound of paraffine to one pint of turpentine. If too thick to rub easily add more turpentine. If your floor is dirty rah it flrst with clear turpentine. Cor. Boston Transcript.

A BRAVE WOMAN.

She Slept a Whole Night with a Rat Under Her and Never Screamed. More than a score of years ago a party of Americans were traveling in Spain, There were eight of them—four men and four women—and one night they found themselves in a little hostelry containing one bed, in which the four women slept, with the bare floor.for the men, who found the necessary room to lie down in by utilizing the space under the bed for their feet. Just as the party were dropping off into their first doze the youngest woman felt something soft and warm moving iu the straw of the tick beneath her. She awaited a moment to make sure, and then as it began a passage up one side of her body she gave a jump that lauded her clear over by the opposite wall, and got ready to scream. "What is it?" came from the doctor on the floor. "There is a rat or a snake in the bed," she whispered excitedly.

The doctor sat up. "Nonsense!" he said. "I tell you there is. It is in the straw of the tick. And it crept up my leg." "Well," asked the doctor calmly, "suppose there is an animal there. What are you going to do about it?" "Do? Why I'm going to get the girls out and open the tick and take tho creature out. You don't suppose I'm going to sleep all night w-ith a snake coiling around under me, do you?" "Now, see here," expostulated the doctor, "let's reason about this thing. It can't be a snake it's probably a rat and it's inside the ticking and it can't get out. It can't possibly harm you. And by and by the warmth of your body will make it drowsy, and it will curl down quietly and go to sleep. So much for the rat. "Now, here we are—eight of its tired out. Nobody knows about the rat but 11s two. Now, are you going to be sefish enough to wake these six people up, turn tho girls out of their bed—they will scream, too, till they are black in the face—make us men take all the straw out of the tick, find and kill the animal and then get all the straw back into the tick—nearly a whole night's performance—just because you have got hysterical .over a harmless little creature? "Now, be a sensible girl, get back into bed and let mo get to sleep again. When the rat gets to sleep you willl(too. Just try it."

If it is ever 'given to a man to be eloquent it is when ho is pleading for his own comfort, and the doctor was just a man after all. His persuasiveness won. The young woman crept timidly buck, and lay with clinched fists and tightly shut eyes, while the little creature nestled uneasily about, and finally crept close to her side under the ticking and curled down to sleep. Sure enough the doctor was right. And pretty soon she did go to sleep, oo, and only waked with the morning to tell the other women of their fifth bedfellow, and how she had saved them from an overwhelming fright.

And the girls quite turned her head with their ohsl and alis! And the dpctor said she was pretty sensible for a woman. And she sometimes tells the story even today. "But was it a rat after all?" the listener is sure to ask when she is done. And she also likes to answer, "It is my chief est .glory in the whole affair that I left tho inn in an hour without speaking of the matter, and to this day I do not know whether I slept with a rat, or a kitten, or a snake."— New York Evening Sun.
