Leut'iilng to Walk.
J'eople sometimes ask, At what age can we seat a child in a chair when put him on his legs how old must he be. before we teach him to walk? The answers are easy. i.ile must not be made to sit till ho has spontaneously sat up in his bed and has been able to hold his seat. This sometimes happens in the sixth or seventh month, sometimes later. The sitting position is not without danger, oven when ho takes it himself imposed prematurely upon him it tires the backbone and may
Interfere with the growth, so the child should never be taught to stand or walk. That is his affair, not ours.
Place him on a carpet in a healthy room in the open air and let him play in freedom, roll, try to go abend on his hands and feet, or go backward, which he will do more successfully at first it nil gradually strengthens and hardens him. Someday be will manage to get upon his knees, another day to go forward upon them, and then to raise himself up against the chairs, ile thus learns to do all he can, as fast as he can, and no more.
Hut., they say, he will be longer in learning to walk if he is left to go on his kneos or his hands and feet indefinitely. What difference does it make if, exploring the world hi this way, ho becomes acquainted with things, learns to estimate distances, strengthens his legs and back, prepares himself, in short, to walk better when he
gets
to walking?
The important thing is not whether be walks now or then, but that ho learns to guide himself, to help himself, and to have confidence in himself. I hold, without exaggeration, that, education of the character is going on at the same time with trainirfg in locomot ion, and that the way one learns to walk is not without moral importance. —Professor Ilenri Marion in Popular Science Monthly.
Don't B® Picture.
One of the loveliest of natures gifts to woman is a beautiful complexion but when a young woman goes to work to improve upon nature by the use of paints and powders she has made a mistake.
During the Mardi Gra.s time, when the cars were crowded to their utmost by pleasure seeking and utterly worn out people. a young lady was swinging on the strap whose complexion was all aglow, her cheeks most exquisitely tinted, her chin and forehead white and fair. It did look lovely, but a very practical gentleman in the ear was overheard to say to another, as the young lady stepped lightly from the car step to the ground as the car stopped at her corner, "There goes a pretty girl if you're a good judge of paintings."
No man or woman blames any girl for using all the simple measures in her power for the boautilieation of her face ami form. It is one of the cardinal principles of a woman's nature to try to make herself as pretty as she can- pretty in her own eyes and pretty in the eves of others—but no matter how dexterously or artistically the dainty rouere may be applied its presence is toll tale, and no matter how fair she may otherwise l»o the tr.rl has lost even'charm to the sensible? and worldly wise when the verdict •"she is painted" is decided upon her.

K-* ,im Ui«* tli*» Hamper*.
There is t-thing in the whole range of kitelsea in wl»u-h many otherwise sensible sbow much stupidity as in the management of a kitchen stove, fbey socm to think that making afire is a game of chance. Th-y seldom investigate dampers or look into the matter of draughts scientifically, cL^e they might teach their tervant* to manage them, and Urns save themselves mi endless amount of petty worry. The writer knew a bright woman who once i*dd an expensive range at a sacrifice because "it smoked when the fira ura*
.. j,
Trivial investigation of the store ahowed ist the principal damper was «al«d np sool^and had evidently never been
used in the three years during which the stove bad been in use. If the first owner lftid inspected the stove, as the second did, when it began to smoke, to see if the smoke had free escape to the smokepipe, she would have found this damper. The smoke came into the kitchen because there was no vent for its escape left open in the stove when the fire was kindled.—New York Tribune.
Bric-a-Brac.
Will women ever cease to be children? The holiday rubbish with which the shops are filled year after year, and which must find purchasers, makes one despair of intelligent judgment among them. Such an eternal procession of "shams," of plated knickknacks, of tidies and doilies, oif cushion and tawdry draperies, enough to supply the world. "Walls that can be whitewashed, plain blinds at the windows, and the cheapest kind of chairs to sit upon, are my ideas of happiness," said a lady recently, who has been famous for the beauty of her bric-a-brac and the number of her "pretty things." "I am so tired," she continued, "of living in a house that looks as if it were afflicted with perpetual smallpox, and taking care of things that have no real use or value, but simply occupy space."
The rage for ornament has reached such proportions that it must be followed by reaction. The discovery of materials and methods by which precious metals, gems and other rich and rare substances can be closely imitated has intoxicated the raassei and made the semblance of splendor so common that wealth must take refuge in refinement and simplicity in order to avoid the community of display. The intrinsic worth, or worthlessness, of "holiday" displays is easily estimated by looking at a collection of the residuum after the "season," which casts a spell over the great body of buyers, is over, and the influence has "departed. It is then seen with quite different eyes its character, or want of character, stands revealed, and it is offered for a song—which no one cares to sing.— Homemaker.
Energy In Woman.
At the fireside the woman may be very quiet, and not a bit venturesome toward great or somber undertakings but she will not be apathetic if she is wise, for that is death in life, bringing perplexity and mistake. She will make an effort in the interest of some little beneficence every hour in aid of her better nature or the demands of some one, and change the history of her small sphere for the best. The great ones of the world have been those who constantly renewed their energy and I think if many of us made a brave effort every day, the thinkers and pioneers would not stand so solitary on the heights.
There is a belief abroad that one should receive power for an effort, while it is really energy which brings power, as the seed brings the fruit. We have selfish energy all about, but like every imitation it is a poisonous variety. The strength and penetration of those devoted to the happiness of others and the spread of learning are the result of prayerful self giving, no matter whether the effort is to smile into the eyes of one who sorrows today, or to minister to a thousand sufferers for all of life. Effort made Louisa Alcott, Clara Barton and Julia Ward Howe, and it makes as woll every cheery home spirit who loves another more than herself.— Rose Hawthorne Lathrop in Harper's Ba-
Is Beauty a Blessing?
Of the beautiful women I have known, but few have attained superiority of any kind. So much is expected by the woman accustomed to admiration that she plays and palters with her fate till the crooked stick is all that is left her. This we see exemplified again and again. While the earnest, lofty, sweet smiling woman of the pale hair and doubtful line of nose has perhaps one true lover whose worth she has time to recognize, an acknowledged beauty will find herself surrounded by a crowd of showy egotists whose admiration so dazes and bewilders her that she is sometimes tempted to bestow herself upon the most importunate one in order to end the unseemly struggle.
Then the incentive to education and to the cultivation of one's especial powers is lacking. Forgetting that, the triumphs which have made a holiday of youth must lesson with the years, many a fair one neglects that training of the mind which gives to her who is poor in all else an endless storehouse of wealth from which she can hope to produce treasures for her own delectation and that of those about her, long after the fitful bloom upon her handsome sister's cheek has faded with the roses of departed summer.—Anna Katharine Green in Ladies' Home Journal.
Sachets Trade M»rki.
It is a peculiar fact that nine out of ten of the pretty girls seen on the ferryboats have little leather traveling bags iu their hands. As the girls never take handkerchiefs or purses out of the bag's, or iu fact open them at all, many persons wonder what the sachels contain. I asked a bright young lady whom I met on the ferry this morning and she explained matters. "Those little bags," said she, "arc the sign manuals of the typewriters and stenographers. When you see a girl swinging along with a sachel evidently light you may know that it contains only her lunch. When the bag seems heavy it is equally certain that the bearer has been sitting up the night before working hard to catch up with her correspondence or copying. All the girls who do cither typewriting or stenography carry thenv, and they area big improvement over the heavy rolls of legal cap that used to be seen so frequently iu the hands or tucked under the arms of the girls that li\e in Brooklyn or Jersey and work in New York."—New York Telegram.
Short on Family KMUW.
One of the oddities of fashionable society In Philadelphia which is puzzling to strangers is the cumber of young ladles met with and classified as belles who bear the same family name.
Until recently it has not been considered good form to use, except in intimate intercourse, young ladies' first names, but Bow it is not only necessary, but, there being daughters of different branches of the same family bearish the same Christian name, and such titles as Miss Arabella Bitteaheuse II and Miss Region Pedigree III are found on card* and Invitations.
This, of course, cannot he carried out in introduction#, and as there ate at least twenty families with young ladies bearing the same isa.ne, :hou«h only distantly related, the efltect at a large party is very

In Our Grandmother's Days.
One of the interesting articles to be seen at Waldoboro is a changeable silk dress, 104 years old, the property tV Mrs. Benjamin Kaler. It is made slip -.hion, lined about the waist with brown linen and has a silk belt about one inch wide, no facing about the bottom, made to trail. It was the property of Mrs. Kaler's grandmother, Mrs. Betsey Shibles, of Thomaston. Her mother was a sister to the lamented Daniel Webster. This dress was torn when she went to General Knox's funeral. Hundreds of ladies have called to see this dress from time to time. The same lady has also a handsome gold ring, marked R. B. S. (Robert B. Shibles), which is 1Q3 years old. —Lewiston Journal.
Ridicule.
We may satirize error, but we must compassionate the erring and this we must always teach by example to children, not only in what we say of others before them, but iu our treatment of themselves. We should never use ridicule toward them except when it is evidently so good natured that its spirit cannot be mistaken. The agony which a sensitive child feels onbeing held up "before others as an object of ridicule, even for a trifling error, a mistake or peculiarity, is not soon forgotten or easily forgiven. When we wish therefore to excite contrition for a serious fault, ridicule should never be employed, as the feelings raised are opposed to self-reproach.—New York Ledger.
It Is Best to Wait.
There come times in the life of each of us when some one we cared for and trusted hurts us deeply, deals us a blow that blinds for a moment—so keen and unexpected. and cruel it is—to sense and reason aud generosity. It may be that the power of retaliation is ours, and in the first passionate smarting of that hurt we may reach out an eager, cruel hand to return blow for blow. But wait I tell you there will be more pleasure to you in the simple blue of the sky and the peaceful chanting of the sea if you let each hurt, each unkind word pass by in grieved silence than if you bitterly resent. Dear heart—wait.—Ella Higginson in West Shore.
Airing the Bod.
It is not everybody who can make abed well. Most servants produce poor results in this respect. Beds should be stripped of all belongings and left to air thoroughly. Don't, however, leave a Window open directly upon the bed and linen with a fog or rain prevailing outside. It is not uncommon to see sheets and bedding hanging out of a window with, perhaps, rain not actually r.:l
ling, but with 90 per cent,
of humidity i.i the atmosphere, and the person sleepiir in that bed at night wonders the nex: day where he got his cold. A room may 1 aired in moist weather, but the bedding) bed must not absorb any dampness.—I. _w York Times.
Quotations ou the frieze of library or boudoir are r. pretty conceit. In apartments on Fifth avenue, New York, one's eye catches this quotation in black letters on the pink terra cotta friezes of the library, "Out of this silence yet I picked a welcome." In the boudoir are these words, "Show thy patience, daughter," and "I'll borrow lessons of the rippling stream and make a pastime of each weary step."
Women are learning more and more to carry the handy little change purses which they have so long envied their much pocketed brothers. As a rule now the conductor does not have to wait more thau four minutes while the lady dives down into her chatelaine bag, scrimmages around for her change purse, counts up her four pennies and hands out a 12 bill. The change is a great relief.
Among the famous jewels possessed by fortunate women is a beautiful pearl necklace, well knpwn in London, owned by the Countess Tolstoi. It is composed of stones large and perfect in shape and nearly black in color. They cannot be called more beautiful than the shimmering white favorites, but on account of their rarity they are considerably more valuable.
Mrs. Chauncey M. Depew is said to be one of the most elegantly and correctly dressed women in New York. Besides filling most graciously her prominent place in fashionable society, and being a most devoted motl.er to the little son of whom the famous orator is so fond, she devotes some time to literature, and him often seen her name in print.
In the desire to train children in the way of neatness many people make the little ones at bedtime carefully fold each garment taken off. It is a mistake to do this, as the clothes need to be thoroughly sired during the night. The child may be taught to hang them up on low hooks and thus acquire orderly habits.

The habit of threatening is bad every way. It does not tend to secure obedience and respect, A simple command given in gentleness and firmness, and Invariably enforced, soon creates a habit of obedience without storming or enumeration of awful penalties.

DEESS AND FASHION,
LATEST SPRING FASHIONS ILLUSTRATED AND DESCRIBED.
Fashions in Millinery as Indicated by the Easter Bonnets—The Jfew Three-Cor-nered Hat Christened "Bavenswood and Introdnced by Ellen Terry.
The Easter bonnets always indicate the drift of the fashions for late spring and summer wear. This season's bonnets, according to the usual indication, will be worn low. While, however, flat bonne's are the rule they will not usually be worn fiat, but generally turned up at the back. Lace, straw, chipi and Neapolitan br.iius ark all represented in the new millinery. The new straw bonnets show a mixture if colors that is striking. Gray and dark steel are fashionable, as is the new brownish yellow called Cleopatra.
Metal and paste play an all important part in French millinery. Gold ornaments of many varieties ai-e prepared in thousands for millinery purposes, as are gold aigret _s and gold osprays. Milliners are using snakes ip gold, jet and silver, to inter-

mingle with other trimmings. The three cornered "R.ivenswood" hat, introduced by Ellen Terry in the play of "Ravenswood," is likely to have quite a run. It is suited, to any woman to whom a boat shaped hat is becoming.
In our cut'we illustrate three bonnets imported fortlyj Easter season. One is in orange hefc wnamed with oranges and leaves. Ano'her is a Ravenswood hat in straw, edged with velvet and ornamented with feathers. The remaining on« is in black point de gaze, with tufts of violets for trimmings, and long trails of violets forming strings.
On some of the new bonnets the flowe-s stand erect over the face, and bows are, a nearly every case, arranged with upstanding loops. A material much employed in millinery is chiffon tulle is also used.
The hats from Paris are extraordinarily large and often fantastic, with enormous bows and equally large bouquets of flowers. Toques of slender shape and round English turbans are largely imported. The close small hats for early spring and for wearing with tailor gowns are modiflul English walking hats, with the brim rollr I at the back. Pointed and crinkled fronts of brims are features of small French hats.
Spring and Summer Tobies.
The present preference for Louis XIV, XV and XVI periods is evidenced in the style of the new cotton fabrics. These are printed in floral designs of great beauty. They nearly all cover the entire ground, or large bouquets are scattered at sparse intervals on a color that accords with them but on navy blue and darker tones the patterns printed in white cashmerian designs on peach or gray, blue or red O most effective. Stripes formed of flowers, and flowers thrown on stripes are new. The most curious innovation this season is that many bunches of flowers are thrown upon shaded moons as large as half a crown.
Lace Bodices Once More.
Eveuing bodices are once more, as a rule, to be laced at the back, aud many morning ones also, where the bodice and skirt are cut in one, or are sewn toget her, as many are. The plan is not convenient for packing, but it has merits. The long sleeves to low bodices have only been accepted as yet in diaphanous materials by English women, and the fabrics are cut mostly on the cross and wrinkled. Black lace and spotted and faceted -.et thus used have most frequently a tight lining cut in white net, which Is perfectly invisible when worn, but proves most becoming to the skin of the arm.
A New Style of Bonquet.
The accompanying cut shows an exceedingly pretty and original arrangement of flowers known tu» the "shower" bouquet. The top part of this bouquet is entirely of red and brown, and long grasses, ferns, etc., intermingling with amass of silk ribbons of a delicate pink color. The whole represents a most artistic combination of lovely colors and delicate tints, and when carried in front of the dress has the effect of a cascade of flowers. It need not be added that when the delicate pink of the ribbons used in the bouquet from which this cut was taken does not harmonize proper- THE SHOWER BOUQUET. ly with the -ades of the costune with which it is used some other shade of ribbon should be chosen. The proper variation will commend itaeif to a lady of taste.
I invisible Nets Again In Demand.
There is a greater demand for invisible nets than there has been for years, for the soft curls and the frizzed fronts are apt to become quickly disordered under hats and bonnets. Great care should be taken a putting them on, or with fine hair a most unbecoming line is apt to be -formed over the forehead. Jeweled nets for the back of the hair, and other curious varieties known to the past generation and in favor when middle aged women were young, are being resuscitated. Bat no mode is ever faithfully reproduced.
Hints Abotrt Skirt*.
The present style of dress skirts look well on a sylph, but a stout figure Is at a great disadvantage in a clinging skirt, iu gowns for matttze wejirera the straight outlines should be softened by the introduction of a few folds in front or a panel at the side. Some of the new skirts are slit open on either side to reveal a glimpse of a silk petticoat in a contrasting colon
ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.
Mew Ideas in Decorative Work on Artlol«s That Combine Use and Beauty.
A simple style of decoration just now finding favor takes the form of a number of roundels or wafers worked in chain stitch upon a linen or serge foundation. These wafers are begun iu the middle and are worked in enlarging circles round and round till they are about the size of a copper two cent piece. Sometimes five rows are placed round the edge of a tea cloth or quilt, the wafers in each row being a trifle smaller than those in the preceding row, till the smallest are only the size of peas. For variety they can be arranged in groups of five, three or seven, scattered at equal distance over the background. Upo a&ilkorsatin foundation the wafers are not unfrequeutly made of strands of gold 'thread, which are placed as closely as possible together, and sewn down with fine but strong yellow silk.
The most fashionable nightdress sachets are very large, from 18 to 22 inches square. They are all wadded and scented. They are made JIS a square pocket, open at two sidos, one corner turned up and bordered with cord in preference to lace. Ivorysatin would be best,^vith the ''monogram painted in letters formed of flowers, and accompanied by sprays of flowers.
A very quaint-and pretty little novelty in pincushions is an ordiuary wooden spoou, first enameled white, and, when dry, painted with small flowers and grasses in brown antl gold bronze. A small cushion of light blue satiu is fixed Jin tho bowl of the snoop with glue, aud the spoon is trimmed gracefully with light blue ribbons.
It is not surprising that jewels should have found their way from dress to needlework. Gorgeous though their appearance bS, they are not appropriate to every article of home decoration. They are especially unsuitable for cushion covers, their unyielding surface rendering them anything but comfortable when the cushion is required for use. Perhaps they are more satisfactory for the decoration of work or theater bags made of plush or shot surah, upon which much splendor may be lavished.
Very dainty are cozies for slipping over a dish of hot tea cakes or scones. These are usually made round in shape, and a trifle larger than the dish they are to cover. They are thickly wadded, and covered with soft silk drawn up to the top, where it forms a full rosette, which serves as a handle. Round the lower part is stretched a band of embroidered plush or velveteen, which may be as ornamental as it is possible to make it.
Fancies in Jfurnlturis.
Old oak furniture isn!Wmga renaissance, and medieval designs in modern work are seen sufficiently to show that there is a fancy for them on the part of many. Not only dining rooms but bedrooms are furnished in oak. They look a trifle somber,

however.Hnd'would make most people feel melancholy in bad Weather. A quaint piece in oak in imitation of an ancient monk's bene'' is shown in our cut. It can be quickly converted into a table by turning over the back, which is handsomely carved on both sides. House linen or clothes are usually kept in the box beneath the seat.
Folks who have gilded looking glasses can use them, and be in tho latest fashion. They will be all the rage presently.
An odd new bedroom suit is in shrimp pink, decorated with quaint Japanese pictures. The washstaml is furnished with a couple of silk curtains.
One of the most useful of decorated bits of furniture is the corner cupboard filled with triangular shelves and fitted with glass doors.
The little table is a very popular piece of furniture and the number of charming forms which it takes on can hardly be enumerated. There are solid small tables «f carved oak, Japanese tables fitted with shelves after the fashion of acabinct Turkish coffee tables inlaid with mother of pearl or silver, and wicker tables in fanciful shapes, bronzed or finished in glossy enamel paint of some delicate tint. Especially popular are the ivory enameled tables which come in many graceful forms and show a band painted decoration "f tiny flowers dotted over the surface, large bunches and sprays of handsoi. blossoms that look as if carelessly thrown down upon the table.
