WOMAN AND HOME.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GLOOMY AND CHEERY HOMES.

Tnre Soli About the Hon»«-How Daughters Should Bo Educated—Reason' for Women** Small Pay—Tbo Right# of Chil

dren—Ilang* of Babies' Carls. All renders know that dark, lowering days tend to depress the spirits. The effect 1a partly physical, partly ntental. Invalids feel the depressing influence seriously, and even those in vigorous health are sensible of it to a greater or less degree.

Analogous to this effect of dull weather is the effect of gloom in the household. Indeed the influence is even more marked in Shis case than in the other. Cloudy days are the exception in the outside world, and are soon succeeded by sunshine but in gloomy homes there are few rifts in the all encompassing cloud.

The hygienic influence of such a state of things is very bad, to say nothing of its moral and social effects. It is like the atmosphere of a malarial region, which one cannot help inhaling.

It is thoroughly depressing, and this means that every inherited morbid tendency in the members of such a family is strengthened that every incipient disease is helped toward development that where disease is in progress, the power of resistance and recuperation is weakened that -where epidemics are prevailing, the danger of exposure is greatly increased that the brain itself, the great center of all vital forces, works with impeded action.

Is it surprising that in gloomy homes there is a lack of spirit, hope and energy? That dark thoughts, impatient acts and unkind words prevail, that little things annoy, that husbands are unreasonable, mothers irritable and children cross?

We need not spend words in attempting to describe the effect of a cheery home, •where love and kindness reign, and husband and wife and children daily bask in a sunshine nearly allied to the glory of heaven, and in turn radiate it into the world around.

But what shall be done to change the gloom to cheer? In some cases, where ill health is the cause of the difficulty, the doctor's advice should bo sought. In other cases, a habit, of petty fault finding is the source of the trouble, and must be corrected. Sometimes there is a natural physical tendency to fretfulness, and the will must be aroused to counteract it.

A gentleman who found a habit of gloom steadily growing on,him, at length one morning declared, "By the help of God, I will not, yield to it any longer!" He set a watch upon himself and gradually overcame the evil tendency.

In m.'tny cases gloomy and irritable moods arc due to overwork, want of sleep, improper fond, foul air in dwellings, deficiency of exercise in the open air and sunshine, or to lack of change of scene. In such eases the prime thing is to remove the cause of I heevil.—Youth's Companion.

I'nre Soil About the IJ«tus«'. But "p:i:v iiir, pure water, pure milk*' arc to be supplemented by pure soil. Now, in time, about any house not provided with careful drainage tin soil becomes completely saturated with poison. And 1 am bound to say that this is the case wish a birgo proportion of country hor.nc.- So full is the soil nf --dops and waste that.! hey are .sure to get, into I ho well at times. For inslf.uce, dry tipelI occurs, shrinking the soil and opening a vast number of conduits under tit-." surface. Then a heavy rain comes and da? through them, carrying with the waUi- the infection which it picks up at all point •. On such occasions a well is said to taste cl surface water, but it is not surface water only. In all probability, but organic decay .".rid iUt.h that havo been thrown about the house instead of being carefully carried off to bo used as a fertili/.er.

The best possible) manure in the soil about a house after it has been torn down. The solid waste from a houso can bo easily disposed of, and largely is so, as. food for animals, but the liquid waste is dashed out. of doors or into an open sluggish drain, where it accumulates until it is ready to infect, the occupants of tlio house. A very large part of the waste of houses should at once be buried, especially decaying vegetables, and the dust which is gathered by sweeping.—Dr. Maurice in St. Louis (Jlobe-Democrat.

llovv Daughters Should tie Kducated. To inaugurate an economical fashion is well only let, it lx one of prevention, not of cure. To rear a girl in absolute dependence, good for nothing, selfish in her aims, and exacting in her demands, is a sin against the daughter and against society. To begin at, her birth to economize and retrench in every department, for the accumulation of money, that this monstrous perversion of her life may be accomplished and maintained, is grotesque and heathenLib. Girls thus trained will fail of attaining a hi jib onlei of womanhood. Their alms will be petty, their ideals low, and nothing very exeeilent can be expected of them in wifehood or motherhood. 1 iet the reform already inaugurated be made fashionable and bo carried on.

While we carefully guard whatever is womanly in our daughters, let them be trained to more of liber and firmness. Educate them to self denial if pecuuiary circumstances demand it, and not to self indulgence. Accustom them to boot service in the household, to regard economy as praiseworthy and even heroic, and to add to all their other accomplishments a practical know ledge of work and the possession of some lner.itive vocation or industry by which they ran support themselves. Such girls when port ionlcsw will carry to their husbands doweries iu themselves.—North American lieview.

One Ilcastm r«r Woman'* Small I'ay. Often, where men and women s^eem to be doing just the same work, the woman is requiring one trifling concession and another which she really pays for in her own wages.

The Bouquet Game.

One of tho players is asked to name her favorite flower this she does, mentioning three or four—as tho lily, the rose, the violet, etc. She is then invited to leave the room. When she has done so the other players designate by the names of the choseu flowers, several friends or playmates (absent, or present) of the one who has withdrawn. She is now called back and asked, "What will you do with the lily?"

To which she replies in any manner she pleases. Perhaps she says, "I will wear it next my heart." "Tho rose?'1 "I will cast it aside," etc. When she has disposed of each of the flowers according to her fancy, she is told whom they represent: then, it may be, she finds she has cast nwav her dearest friend has given the place of honor to one whom she regards with indifference, and so on.

H«tv- to fold a Shirt.

Few things put a man in a temper more than a badly folded shirE, no matter how well it is laundered. There is a certain art In the method of "folding" that, if carefully followed insures stiff cuffs and an unruffled front. Spread the shirt on a table or bed, fold over the two sides lengthways, so that they lie one over the other npon tbe bosom. Turn the sleeves back half way from the shoulders, doubling the sleeve gussets in half and allowing thera to lie straight down en the folded body. Then take the whole and give it across fold upward, so that the lower part of the shirt which is turned over shall cover the. upper part of the sleeves assd bosom,—Yankee Blade, ________

Strang Women.

Thero are records of strong women, although they are comparatively rare. In the time of Louis XV there was an actress engaged at the Theatre Francais, Mile. Gauthier, who could break a coin between the fingers of one hand, and roll a silver plate into the form of acup of conical shape. No one could bear the pressure of her hand, and only Maurice de Saxe, one of the strongest men of his time, was able to open her closed hand.

In the same century there lived in England a woman, Miss Bettie Thompson, who could break chains with her hand. Miss Kerra, a young mulatto woman, who appeared in most of the capitals of Europe, was. we believe, the first to perform th« featj while hanging with the bend of her knees in a trapeze, of holding a man at his belt with her teeth and turning him rapidly round with her hands. The same trick was performed more recently, among others, by Miss Leona Dare and Miss Carie Wilton.

It cannot be said that this is exactly a fitting performance for women, or that the exhibition of the weaker sex as athletea generally is an altogether edifying spectacle. It ought to be discouraged as much as possible as degrading to the sex.—Chambers' Journal.

Helping the Infant Along.

In the North of England, when a child ia taken from the house for the first time it is given an egg, some salt and a little loaf of bread, and occasionally a small piece of money—these gifts being supposed t® insure the child against ever standing in need of the common necessaries of life. In the East Riding of Yorkshire a few matches are added to light the child to heaven. In Holland, Sweden, Norway, Poland and parts of Russia the mother of a new born babe, if not too poor, provides a small cheese, which is cut in small slices and' distributed among the unmarried, ladies ol the neighborhood.

meet her future husband at across path or cross roads within the month. In Northumberland a cake called the "dreaming bread" is distributed in the same way, the young ladies who partake of ife being supposed to dream of their future husbands the same night. In the United States, as well as in many other countries, a book, a piece of money and a bottle of liquor is placed before an infant tho day it is 1 year old, the object being to test what its aftei inclinations will be.—St. Louis Republic.

A Living Monument.

The "Little Bethlehem" charity in Paria has an interesting history. It was founded a few years ago by the Count and Countess of Laurenceau, whoso only child, a beautiful and winsome little girl, was greatly beloved by her largo circlo of relatives, and on each birthday oho was showered with gifts or money, which were put on interest for her marriage dowry. The child died before she reached maturity, and lier' sorrowing mother took tho money which might"have purchased a costly monument and founded this day nursery for homeless babies in Paris.

Iler example has been widely imitated by other bereaved mothers, who have devoted money intended for memorial windows or elaborate monuments to the "Little Bethlehem." Mme. Carnot, wife of the president of the republic, is a frequent visitor and benefactor of this charity, and may often be seen on her way to the Rue Bacon with her hands filled with fruits and flowers or more substantial gifts.— New York Ledger.

Bag of Milk.

ere you ai

"Heli^Bh are, two pounds of chops, good scant weight," said the merry Cranston sweet grocer to the young man of family who had brought in an order from his wife, "and now fo?your milk where's your can?" The young man of family protested- that he hadn't read the order, and had not been equipped with a can. "Nevei mind," said the grocer "here, hold on to it," and he dexterously slipped one #apei sugar bag inside of another and filliped the corners into place. The two quarts of milk were poured into the inner bag. "Th grease in the milk prevents it from goinjt through the paper, as water would," explained the grocer. "I had hard work to get people to believe they could carry milk in a bag at fiwft, and had to let it go at mj own risk. I've sent it so half a mile bj slow transit still Fd advise you not to stop to tell any long stories on the way home." —Providence Journal.

They Settled the Pin Honey QueitlM.

He was a young man who had been a few years married. In answer to a question about pin money he said: "I get my wages every Saturday night. I carry the mone homel and give every cent of it to my wife If I want any I ask her for it. She bayi what we want, and she puts in tbe bank all we can spare. It is as much her inter est as it is mine to save all we can. If she is fit to be my wife and to bring up thi children she is fit to be trusted with thi money, and I never ask her what she doe# with It."

Another man, who receives monthlj wages, said: "When I am paid I hand ove: to my wife as much money as she earned before we were married, and that was a week."

There is peace in both these houses. There is no need of comment.—Woman's Journal.

Pretty Girls as Nurses.

"She's a King's Daughter, God bless lieri and she's been all through this house, leav ing joy and sunshine in her wake."

It was an old, wrinkled woman who spoke. Her eyes were dimmed with tears as she gazed affectionately at a prety young girl, scarcely twenty, who was just turning the corner.

The scene was a Brooklyn street, in one of the most densely populated parts of thf city, and the young girl a member of the King's Daughters. "We do all tho good we can," said at elderly member of the order, "but the greatest service is being done by our young girls just budding into womanhood. They are indefatigable workers, and each das finds them climbing tail tenement house stairs and in the sick rooms of the vers poor."—Now York Journal.

A Cure for Tootliachc.

It is no! r.b all uncommon to have toothache with perfectly sound teeth, or in teeth tha! \a\ been recently filled. Without expl. ti::g the cause for this I would simply rc rnmend a very convenient little applicatit i, v/hich you can readily prepare yourself ul keep on hand. Take apiece of cbanv skin, or oL fln closeijyjover flannel, and soak it' thoroughly iu a goo«i extract of Jamaica ginger, or what is bet ter still, iu tincture of capsicum, which you can obtain from any druggist.

Let this dry, and put it away until the time of need. To use it in the case of the toothache I have mentioned, with a pair ol scissors cut a small piece off, and place it between the gum and the lip, directly ovei the root of the offending tooth. This will act jis a counter-irritant, audits effect is really marvelous. Laury McHenry ii New York World.

A Milk Bath.

A milk bath means a beautiful complexion and a luxury. If purses would permit the extravagance Che city milkman would not. Water clear is just^ as bene ficial as water combined with a little milk.

Here is a mock milk bath that is almost as beneficial to the skin as pure milk. Make up a dozen or more .bags of cheese cloth about afoot square. Fill them witt oatmeal and pure white castile soap, shaved fine—two-thirds oatmeal and one-third soap. Add a little borax and some pow dered orris root and tie up the bags se curely. One bag in twelve gallons of watei makes a delightfully refreshing bath and the skin like velvet.—Chicago Herald. ________.

There are thousands and thousands ol wives and mothers in New York who make ends meet by sewing on overalls that paj 75 cents, shirts 60 cents, vests 95 cents, trousers S3, flannel shirts $1 a dozen. Thej are obliged to find their own thread for the overalls and shirts, and carry the work tc and from the shop. If they take a street car one-tenth of their earnings is gone.

Styles In Hats and Bonnets for Midwinter Described—Becoming Combinations of Cloth and Far in Form of Toques, and Hats with Visor Brlma.

Many of the hrtts designed especially for midwinter are l?.Tsing combinations of cloth and fur. Avery pretty hat, with •visor brim, seen recently, vas of dark blue cloth to match the dress with which it was to be worn. It was bordered, as was the gown, with astrakhan fur. The cloth crown was folded in plaits at the front, while on the back three* black and yellow birds werp perched. Very pretty cloth toques are now worn, with borders of sealskin. The crowns are soft. Many of the toques are trimmed with miniature heads representing a seal's, or an otter's or a fox's according to the fur, and on the hat as its border.

GBA.Y FELT HAT.

Feathers play on important part in the trimmings of hats as well as of bonnets. In the cut is illustrated an imported gray felt hat suited to a youthful face. It 1a trimmed with feathers in two shades of gray. From the center springs out an aigrette. A charming gray felt bonnet seen was unadorned except with a gray beaver edge and a raw of steel scrolls. Under the front of the brim and at the back were turquois blue velvet flutings.

The New Sloped Skirt.

New skirts, with most of their fullness taken out by a sloped seam in tho middle of the back, are cut off in three horizontal pieces to break the monotony of straight breadths, a fashion very becoming to tall, slender figures. The foundation skirt of silk has two straight breadths joined by seam down the middle of the front, fitted over the hips by three darts in each breadth, and meeting at tho back of the waist. The space at the top beyond tho fastening is sloped diagonally to meet two shorter breadths thafc arc similarly sloped, and parts of two three-cornered breadths, also sloped in the middle, are set in at the foot to give fullness to the bottom of the skirt.

The outside material is usually of cloth of double width, and has therefore fewet length wise seams than the foundation skirt. It is cut in three crosswise pieces passing straight around the figure, each lapping slightly upon that below it, and each a third of the length_of the skirt in depth when finished with a stitched hem. These pieces also havo the sloped soam iD the back, and arc sowed on the foundation skirt without fullness. Such skirts are most worn with round waists that are slipped under the skirt hence tho top of tho skirt is trimmed with passementerio to give a pretty finish to the bodice. At

tthe

foot of

tho skirt is usually a band of fur ox feathers and passementerie.—Harper's Ba

A Cloth Tea Gown.

With the present fad for cloth have been introduced uot only evening and Weddiny dresses of cloth, but cloth too gowns as well.

In the accompanying illustration is shown an imported gown, which abroad is known as the "Bernhardt" gown. Its name is due to two causes: The gifted Sara wore the first one that Wits designed, and second it is fastened with a Bernhardt girdle. The model shown is in orange hued cloth, with full white

often with a quantity of little curls on the ton a la Josephine. Some women wear the hair slightly waved on the brow and temples and the rest turned back a In Marie Antoinette.

New York Skating Costume.

A model skating jacket shows large vel vet sleeves trimmed with astrakhan. A band of the same fur borders the coat and a high collar of it protects the neck of the fair skater. A toque of rough goods to match the coat is trimmed with a cock's plume and a narrow strip of Persian hunb interwoven with tho folds of the cloth.

Fashion Echoe*.

The jeweled dog collars are generally mounted on velvet to correspond with the dress, but a darker shade.

Some of the handsomest fans have light colored tortoise shell mounts ornamented with moonstones and diamonds.

Long gloves are only worn with sleeves fonf. terminate at tbe elbow, ~C The low bodices of new gowns are round at the waist line and very bouffant on the shoulders above the short sleeves.

White kid gloves have repla- those of for evening toilets, and are worn smooth on the arms.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.^

Lamp Shades of All Kinjdls—Fluted, Gathered or Puffed, Cromplod and Crushed,

Silk shades of all descriptions, fluted, gathered, puffed or plain, with or without lace, and generally with a profusion of ribbon bows, are still extensively used. The crushed and crumpled paper, however, seems to be much in vogue, and certainly producesacbarming effect. The plain ones, merely plaited, puffed at the top into a huge kind of ruff aud tied with soft silk sash ribbon, either as a match or a contrast, are very easily made at home, and instructions or a few hints necessary for their manufacture will readily be given wherever the paper is bought. Care must be token, however, to bend back the ruff at the top, so that it does not catch too much heat from the chimney, or the result will be a conflagration.

The paper shades are also made in different colors, and thers is anew graduated shade which is very effective. These simple makes have been improved upou quite lately, and the most dainty paper shades are now to be seen, tempting to a degree— some, for instance, being one mass of yellow single poppies all sloping downward, with their slender and delicate centers so fine that they only give the palest green mixture to the whole. These are also made in red and in blue to represent, bluebells, the latter being much less effective and rather trying to the best complexions. Another make is of graduated colored paper cut into the shape of leaves, representing autumn foliage in its variefcated hues further a shade of crushed rose leaves, the rosebuds and green standing up to form the ruche round the tope. For these the wire frames are so made that there is no danger from the heat of the lam]). Candle shades are all made to match, and bows of ribbon are the order of the day.

To Clean and Remove Stains from Silver. For the ordinary purposes of cleaning silver one of the best materials is a thin paste of two parts of alcohol to one of ammonia, with enough whiting to make a liquidlike cream. This should be rubbed or painted over the silver and allowed to stand till dry. If the paste is then brushed off with a very fine brush the silver will appear bright and clear.

Iu cleaning silver there are but two things to be removed, dirt and the sulphide of silver, which appears as a coating on articles exposed to the air, and is especially noticeable on spoons that come in contact with yolk of egg. In the foregoing preparation the alcohol and ammonia dissolve all dirt and sulphide and the whiting removes them. The whiting must bo soft and free from grit.

It is difficult to remove ink stains from the silver inkstands, penholders, paper weights and other articles of tho writing table, for which this metal is now so much used. Where ordinary means fail it has been recommended to make a little chlorido. of lime into a paste with water and rub upon tbe stains, which will quickly disin pear.

Candied Ginger.

Make a sirup of one pound of granulated sugar and a large cup of water. Place over the fire, let come to a boil and skim. Cut a quarter of a pound of ginger root into small pieces, and put in some water to boil for an hour drain off the water, pour some of the sirup over, enough to cover, and let boil an hour and a half. If tho sirup cooks away add more when the ginger is tender, take tip, drain on a sieve, let cool .and dust with granulated sugar dip again in tho thick sirup, set asido to cool, and when cold roll in sugar again. The sirup should be boiled until it will crystalline the ginger.

Chickon Cream Soup.

Three pints of the wafcur in which a chicken has been boiled, with all fat removed, one piut of rich cream, four eggs, one cupful of bread crumbs, suit, pepper aad celery salt. Heat tho water to the boiliag p: int. Boil thee^gs for twenty-live minr.ies .-md mash the yolks with the bread crumbs, whic'i should ba.softened iu llttl.» milk.
