MAKING FARM LIFE HAPPY.

How in HHp 1lom«* f.lfe.

Miss Jennie Jv Hooker, of McCutchanville, Intl., receivt.fi a prize of $200 from The Cosmopolitan Magazine for tin l»est essay on bow to make farm life attractive. Mere is an alwtrart of her paper:

Youim people leave the farm ljecau.se their rural Iiohr'--* are often unattractive Hie! lacking in sociiil arid Hiuciition«il pri\iletfe* They have mistaken ideas, too, of the pIc.LMin'H of city life and of the labor coiimrU'd with stores

!"»fl

factories. On

theoth-r hand, wh.lc farming Lsnii honor ahlf, lii-althfnl and comparatively inde ncndftit. pur-nit. it has its needs. "If the farm life," *:iy« an essayist, "is to be made thoroughly attractive, if it is to be raised to tlie c.vaited pillion it merits, it will be neci-i«arv, first, t« l«*««en the ta«k work of fanning second, to raise maximum crops and profit*: third, to Mirrourxl tiic work with intellectual pro^re.sH, not forgetting for a sdntfle Miomeiit to proprrly appreciate the honorable position of the farmer in the community and last, and bv no means least, make the home not only attractive in appearance, but a place wherein dwells the spirit, of harmony."

Labor having inventions have lightened the work of farmers more than that of their wives. "Too often the wife and mother is a poor, overworked creature, whose Iineof vision seldom extends beyond the four walls of her home, vainly endeavoring to furnish the table and cover other necessary expenses of the house with the price of but ter, f'KKS and poultry." Wom en on the farm are not given the full nd vantage of sewing machines, knitting machines, patent, churns and washing il*vchines. (iirls on the farms should be paid for their work. The raising of poultry is more profitable and agreeable than the Care of milk and butter.

Women on the farm should cultivate reading clubs, good books and periodicals. The home should be made attractive with Interesting literature unrl simple, tasteful decorations. Concerts and lectures in the Oeighborhood should be attended. Music should be cultivated, instrumental if possibly vocal in any ease. Books and music may be had by the humblest farmer who ever, walked lietween the plow handles, And combined with those two blessings is the home inlluence, which cannot occupy neutral ground, but must be cither a blessing fir a curse

By all means, hen, let there be domestic Amusements, llreside pleasures which, even though they be quiet and simple, shall make our rural home happy and not leave it ati unpleasant place which will oblige the youthful spirit to look elsewhere for Joj\ The home should be a place of cheer fulliens and unselfishness, and where the rights of the humblest are respected. In too many farm households the father never unbends, the mother never feels well nigh to enjoy any pleasures, however innocent, and simple they may be. From such a circle the younger members are apt l,o break away.

The buy nil he farm has often little time to himself, lie is put in harness young, ami is expected to rest, from regular labor by running errands for everybody. It is not eas\ to keep a boy treated thus on the farm after lie gets large enough to shift for himself. The better way would be to give him light. tasks, to praise hint for honest effort, to tench him the use of money and to encourage him in lit tie business venturer of his own. A small share in the oi*op.- on a patch of ground for himself will not. be amiss. A pleasant room adds to his contentment, and if he can have a pony or horse lie might be reckoned even happy Will young people cared for in this fashion leave the farmv

Influence of Women's KiitliukIwmn. Women are often contemptuously called gushw This is too sweeping. WhiJe there,lire undoubtedly some who may just iy be so classified, it should not bo over looked that women have a great capacity for enthusiasm. Notwithstanding the cyn ic's dictum that the friendship of women is merely a cessation of hostilities, there are women's friendship that represent, the liinvi lovely relations possible, because each wili love the good and hate the bad in the other, though not as an outsider would, for each regards the faults of her friend with he same kind of dislike she gives to her own besett ing weaknesses. Their tie votion to each other is enthusiastic, and SO are their opinions on the subject of friendship.

Ilut while it is true that women more than men have the divine attribute of loving the sinner while they hate the sin, it is likewise true that in too many eases "the king cm do no wrong." They idealize theme whom they love, and they love those whom they idealize. .Such women have the bliud enthusiasm which we speak of as if it wen* an infinn ity, though it may sometimes produce a greater moral revolution than the sternest criticism. Many a son has been shamed into trying to be like the man his mother believes he is. and many a husband, it) trying to liU with honor the high position to winch his wife has raised him—iu her mind plays his part so well that it eventually Wromes second nature to him, even if it is radically opposed to the nature with which he was originally endowed.—Detroit Free Pres.-..

Tireit Mother*. Slake Your Children Help. There is no inlluence too strong, no eloquence too great to impress upon a mother the importance of imparting to her chil drcn whatever knowledge has leen of any service to her. How often one hears a capable housekeeper exclaim, 'ih. I'd grv

What would be a mere indignity to you ia a positive cruelty to a child. Don't feed your children on sweets. Candy, as it is nerved by most confectioners, is too rich for the stomach of the happy-go-lacky ostrich, and it is absolute and irretrievable ruin to the digestion of a child. Saddle tbe best colt that ever entered the Derby with live hnndred weight, and how far won Id it hold otit? You saddle your child with heavier odds when you start it for the race of life with a poor digestion. Let the baby dnnk concentrated lye and be done with it. but don't give it tea and coffee.

Wouldn't a dead baby, provided it went to heaven, be about as well off as a dried up wisp of nerves, a wizened little morsel, old before its time, with a stomach like tanned leather and nerves like blading fagots? No matter what anybody says to the contrary, tea and coffee are unfit drinks for children and tend to nervons precocity. I sometimes wish a great, strong, wholesome angel would comefro heaven to teach poor raorta Is how to care for this beautiful and wonderful mechanism of the body. He would have his bands full bringing up shattered aud broken humanity to the perfect test and standard.~ Chicago Herald.

ilecrcatlon* of Well Known Women. A great deal has been written about the recreations of noted men, but it may be interesting to hear something of those enjoyed by well known women. Queen Victoria delights in water color sketching and playing duets with her favorite daughter, Princess Beatrice. The gentle wife of tbe crown prince of England is fond of fine needlework, dressmaking, playing the zither, photography, and has a pretty talent for oil painting. The Princess Louise is an author, a sculptor and an artist. Sarah Bernhardt indulges in a little harmless sculpturing. Miss Braddon loves horseback riding. Nilsson aud Albani are both devoted to cards, and Patti dotes on billiards, round games and needlework.

Patti, too, spends many hours with her feathered pets, of whom she is extremely fond. Oneof the parrots in her valuable collection of wise and witty birds is an American importation for which she paid a pretty sum. Directly she obtained possession of the bird the sulky pet refused to utter a sound for months, until one day, when suffering from a heavy cold, the strange, unaccountable parrot exclaimed hoarsely to the physician called in consultation, "Oh, doctor, I'm so sick."—New York Sun.

Ilow to Knit Coarse Mltta.

These mitts are for outdoor work in the garden or in the flower beds, and for this purpose unbleached knitting cotton is best for wear. Begin at the wrist. Cast on to needles of medium coarseness 73 stitches, nnd knit GO rounds of ribbing, 2, p2. Now knit 80 rounds (from the 67th to the 146th) in plain knit ting, but you must begin the thumb gore in the ll!5th round by widening after the first 3 stitches (o), then knit I and increase ngain (o).

In the next row knit the stitches and gradually increase or widen the thumb gore iu this way, in a straight line or above the stitch, until you reach the 146th row. Then take up t.he gore stitches for the thumb, which is left open at the top or not narrowed off.

Knit the thumb for the length required in plain knitting und finish off with four rounds: in ribbing 2, 2, then cast off.

On the remaining stitches for the hand knit thirty-five or forty rounds of plain knitting, then six rounds of ribbed knitting, 2, 2, after which cast off.

These mitts are soft to the hands, but will protect them, and when soiled can be washed as often ns necessary without los ing shape by too much shrinkage.—Montreal Star,

Plenty of Sleep for Women. It is a well known fact, among physicians, nurses and those generally interested in the restoration of health, that the percentage of women among the middle and upper classes who retire early is alarmingly small. The term "alarmingly" is used advisedly, because the growing tendency to keep late hours cheats nature out of her just dues and compels her to ret aliate in a manner that often threatens not only health but life most, seriously. There are few women so constituted but that the wear and tear of daily life consumes to a great extent their vitality, which can only be restored by means of perfect repose.

Especially are long, unbroken hours of rest necessary for wives and mothers, all of whom are giving of their strength unreservedly and getting little physically in re turn save that which is derived from sleep. The growing tendency of the age toward physical culture training is not well sus tained in the late hours so universally kept by many of the most enthusiastic ad vocates of that movement. Those who earnestly detire to use the mos1 effective means at hand for the preservation of health and beauty should Hot fail to keep early hours.— Jenness-Miller.

l'rogrcw of .American Women. The women of America are progressing in all -directions at such a rate as to call forth comment from many parts of the world. They have taken off their little pinching, thin soled shoes and let their toes spread out. They consequently walk more in the open air. They have untied their corset strings and breathe freer. They have cut down and opened up the high collar and can turn their heads about freely. They formerly knew little about personal comfort, and now they long for it The young girl clings to her tennis or boat ing suit, while the older sister and mother wear their bedroom gowns as late as possible, and create occasions when they can appear in tea

gswns.

To the stout womaii has got to come some new form of dress, something entirely different from that we now have, and when women are as free as birds and look well then we will have really advanced. An anatomist of national reputation says that women—that is, women generally—will not be able to do the brain work of men until the arterial blood is notrestrained in passages by any bands, gages, bones or steels. —Exchange.

Mr*. Myer* Believe# in Educating Women. Airs. Annie Nathan Myers is one of fcba clever young women of the day. She was among the first to take the examination course for wonaen at Columbia college, and it is mainly through her persistent efforts that Barnard College was founded. She has made ao exhaustive study of the condition of woman's education throughout the country, and is convinced thai giving the ballot to women would simply increase the unintelligent voic, unless some «\hi«iUoaal qualification were introduced. She thinks that women shook! be broadly educated and admitted to all spheres of activity before the power of legislation Is conferred upon them.—New York Letter

The Belle Polishes Violins in Saxony. In some of the villages of Saxony the in- ft habitats, men and women, spend their I

entire lives iu the making Of violins. A good instrument is made of sixty-two different pieces, each one usually made by a different person, and the polishing of the instrument when completed is relegated to the women. Twenty and thirty times are the best violins polished, each family having its own particular hue and style of color, the secrets of which are handed down from mother to daughter through the generations, and the belle of the village is not tb" most beautiful maiden, but she who is tbe best polisher.—Exchange.

Dr. Taimaee'is Niece.

Miss Mollie Talmngv, a niece of Dr Talmage, was born in China and lived there some time as a missionary. She could speak Chiuese before she learned English. She says the Chinese language is very difficult to master, because so much depends on the tone or pitch in which the same word is spoken. For instance, the word "gee" has -eight different meanings, according as it is pronounced. The word "ku-je" menns "precious," ami it also means "devil." One American who was studying the language referred to his wife as his "ku-je," and as he did not get the pitch right he called her a devil.—Detroit News. .....-j.-.

Fixing, the Window Frames.* Windows can be lowered at tho top, even if they are not furnished with the modern pulley arrangement. Remove the narrow" strip of wood that holds the upper sash in place,'and put a movable wooden button on the outer frame, so that the bottom of the upper sash will rest on it. Put another button half way down to support the sash wheu lowered. This is sometimes done in old country houses. Storm windows should always have one*, movable pane. Then, even in winter, there can always be a flushing of air through the entire house once or twice a day.—Washington Star.

Buy Plenty of Length.

When buying stair carpet buy a quarter of a yard more than is absolutely required. Let it run under the room carpet, at the head or foot of the stairs. When your carpet begins to show wear on the steps, change it so that what was on the steps comes on the raise or up and down space between the steps, thus bringing a new spot where the wear comes. It takestwice as long to wear out a carpet if this tftjone, and what applies to the carpet just as well to the crash used CgjK A very little extra expense saves a good deal in the change. nrjm,

A peculiar freshness aud daintiness is given to modern rooms by the use of pale green in furniture, screens, overmantels and tables.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

Some Seasonable Suggestions Concerning Children's Clothing. Triple capes are now often applied to jackets and coats for children, and full pointed capes are new. In the cut is shown an attractive coat for a little girl. It is pinked oct or buttonholed in deep vandykes around the edges of the blonse coat and the double Bouncings that form a shoulder cape. This double cape is attached to a circular yoke, finished off with a turn-down collar. Fine plaitings of silk appear under the Vandykes, and knots of ribbon are placed at the neck and waist. Soft silk embroidered all over is a featune in children's fashions. A charming little pelisse had the skirt, the collar and a fully gath fired cape all covered with a sprig of a floral pattern in silk embroidery. White corduroy is a material peculiarly well suited to little people, and espeeially for little boys' coats, made double breasted, with a cape, flap pockets and large pearl buttons. A perfectly new style of juveniledoak is made of fine cloth, fawn or gray, pinked at the edges and made in a double frill.

LITTLE GIRL'S COAT.

The frocks worn by infants after they leave off long robes become each season more beautiful and more elaborate. There are some exquisite specimens of fine embroidery and Valenciennes lace which almost cover the skirts and tiny bodices. The loose shape which falls from the yoke to the feet, without any indication at the waist unless a sash is worn, is made not only in muslin but in heliotrope silk, for nothing would now seem to be considered too elaborate for our young people.

Birthday Rings.

Finger rings are worn in larger numbers now than before in some years. A new feature in these ornaments are the birthset with an appropriate stone in .which the anniversary fall. For instance, if one's in April, th» stone is a blem of innocence if one iSght of day in May, then

Anew glove for riding or driving has the gantlet grained in Imitation of crocodile. The fancy for gold trimmings and for imitation jewels is greater than at any previous season.

There is sufficient variety in round hats to please all tastes. Soft Siciiienne and Bengaline are used for bridesmaids.

Small boys who assist at weddings are dressed as pages, or else they wear the Continental suit and three cornered hat.

Court trains are square-cornered, and are drawn far back to display the side# of the petticoat.

FOR THE TABLE.

Floral Decoration That Lends Poetry and Grace to the Setting of a Feast. The fashion of table decoration grows every day more varied. The tasteful fancy of one hostess is to .adorn her feasts with garlands of flowers, knotted with ribbons of delicate color. Sometimes festoons of violets hang about the silver candlesticks sometimes the dishes are wreathed with roses, or sprays of white lilac blossoms are strewn amid the wax candles. Always satin ribbons of pale tints bind the clusters of blossoms.

Another giver of dinner parties and a collector of porcelains as well brings out her dainty ciipids, shepherdesses and court ladies and flings flowers at their feet—here two carnations, there a moss or blush rose, a spray of lilac, an orchid.. The table is a poetic confusion of porcelain figures and flowers. At the ends and in the center stand magnificent vases, filled with exotic blooms.

The latest Parisian fashion is to surround the fruit dishes with thick wreaths of roses or violets traceries of flowers are scattered over the tablecloth. Heraldio devices, coats of arms, ships, baskets, wagons wrought in flowers, are also seen at fashionable dinner tables. The menus, surrounded with ribbons, are pinned on sprays of flowers. This abundant use of blossoms gives an incomparable poetry and grace to the setting of the feast. Wax candles are the most refined and soft illuminants but at some houses lamps are placed on the table amid flowers.

The Souvenir Spoon Fad.

The fad for souvenir spoons has evidently come to sfcjiy. It pervades the length and breadth of the land and interests men, women md children alike. There are souvenir spoons galore, representing not only dead but living American celebrities, in instance of which may be noted the Whittier, Longfellow, Lincoln and Grant spoons while old towns of historic importance have each one or more memorial spoons.

These souvenirs fortunately blend utility with beauty. They are made in a sufficient variety of sizes and shapes to serve as tea, coffee, dessert and pap spoons. There are

AN INTERESTING GROUP OF SOUVENIR SPOONS. specially formed spoons for oranges, and spoons with fancy bowls for almonds, bonbons, olives and the like. Each family may, therefore, collect a fine assortment of these souvenirs without feeling that an improvident thing has been done.

These commemorative spoons furnish a nover ending fund for conversation at .teas and dinners, and greatly please the littlo folk with their object lessons in history. Prominent among the New York souvenirs are the Liberty and Knickerbocker spoons Washington ha» hw George Washington and White House spoons, while lS'ew England is to the front with her Moll pitcher and Witch spoons, her Paul Revere, Dexter, Plymouth Rock and a score or more of others. In the cut are depicted several of these souvenirs, the ornamentation of which is an appropriate explanation of the name bestowed upon each.. They include a spoon for tea, another for bonbons, a spoon for oranges, and aio after dinner coffee spoon.

PnlT Paste.

Puff paste may be made with butter for shortening, or by using half butter aud half lard an extra teaspoonful of salt will be required if lard is used. Stir the beaten yelk of an egg into half a cupful of ice water, and with this moisten the flour, Into which one-half pound of butter has been chopped, making a stiff dough. Use for the whole one pound of shortening to one pound of flour. Roll out the paste baste with one-third of the remaining butter fold closely and roll out again repeat the process till tbe butter lis u&ed up. Roll very thiu, and set in a cold nlace for ten minutes before using. Brush over with beaten egg while hot.

Washing Gilded China.

If glass or china has gilding on it, even that considered the most durable, w^sh gently in hot water, rinse in cold, but never rub with a towel of any kind. Rinse thoroughly, turn down on a dry towel to drain and dry, and when ready to put up, dry, wipe gently with a very soft, thin cloth or a piece of silk kept specially for that purpose, but rubbing or attempting to polish will soon tarnish any gilding. If through any carelessness or accident gilding becomes tarnished, a slight polishing with a chamois skin with a very little whiting may be tried, but it is a misfortune when any such cleansing becomes a work of necessity.

Date Sandwiches.

Cut white or Graham bread in tbin slices, trim off any hard crust that may cling round the edges, butter thinly, then spread on one alios of prepared dates. They will need to be gently coaxed, rolled and spread with a silver fork to make a smooth layer. The dates having accommodated themselves to circumstances, cover with anotEertbin slice of the buttered bread aad press the two sides gently together, after the well known manner of sandwiches. Serve while they are newly made.

Entree of Hashed Mutton.

Mince an onion and fry it in butter to a brown color, add a tablespoonful of flour, stir well, pour in enough stock or broth to make the sauce, with a dash of vinegar, pepper, salt and spioes to taste. Let the sauce give a boil, then strain it, and when cold put in the slices of meat, well trimmed, of any outside parts, and a good allowance of pickled gherkins cut in slices. L«t tbe whole get warm by gentle simmering, and keep it hot till wanted for table. Serve garnished with fried bread.
