HEALTH OF THE AMERICAN GIRL.

A Woman l'bjr«!cl»n S*f* She'll Hold Her Own for Home Time to Come. The health of the American girl is a perennial subject that flourishes like a jrreen

bay

tree. Everybody can wrlt^ about

it and everybody dbai, the result being a

mum

of Peelumiffian literature. What savage* do and what early peoples did are constantly quoted. And the dark bint goe» round that the time* are out of joint because »imilar conditions do not now prevail.

The

reign

of ignorance and superstition

in deplored by those who ought to know better. Because the American girl 1 earns the modern alphabet, her doom iasupposed to be mailed. It is feared that man in America will shortly be without a fitting mate jyid life cease to be delicious. Genial and otherwise delightful specialist# are quoted and misquoted in all their trite half truths, old book* are consulted, and everything doleful is put into a paper that could not be bought, yet which appears. It is not arrauged, for it happens and is always by a man. Strange that the incongruity of thesituation passes muster.

The study of young women by the average practitioner is about a* valuable as would be the study of botany from dried plants. Everything is there except the life of the subject. This absence disturbs not the serenity of the ingenious theorist, who tells us too often that in spite of the invigorating influence of Intermingling of race, of favorable hygienic possibilities In the United States, of health-, ful lllnrrty that everywhere prevails in this country, the American girl is by no means what she should be physically. As a saving grace and novel discovery, the woman of civilization is drawn into the discussion on the ground that she falls to compare favorably with man in point of strength and is thoroughly unworthy in consequence.

The question of any deterioration in the American girl is quickly settled by an appeal to trade, to simple dollars aud cents. The venders of ready made garments state that small women who formerly found a perfect fit in styles manufactured for girls of sixteen are now wearing fourteen-year-old sizes. Naturally these women have not decreased In height and weight. It is the American girl who Is larger. Sense and hygiene in the homo during the past twen-ty-five years have had marked results. The maiden of toduy is the outcome of this improved and nobler way of living. Medical tears may

"So many women seem to have uo definite idea about what their Infants require In the way of wardrobe," remarked the forewoman of an infanta' furnishing departmpnt, as she turned from her customer at the entrance to the elevator. "I sometimes think I will have llsta made of absolutely Indispensable things, and of those articles which fairly well to do babies are *upio«ed to need graded lists with luxuries* ami comforts and bare necessities. 1 think such lists would lie a great convenience and help to busy aud perplexed mot tier*, The price of each article could lie affixed, and women could study out their needs at their own pleasure. An infant's outfit need not be at all oxpousire, if one wuUfiwl with plain and simple things, and they are so much more desirable, for little babies especially. If I had my way no infant would wear a dress or slip with embroidered neck and sleeves. I would trim all of the fir*t suits with fine, narrow Smyrna, torchon or thread lace. Plat vai is very pretty if carefully laundricd.

shed for professional sins,

negligence and offenses, but not for the American girl, who Is likely to hold her own for some time to come.

And now a word for the woman of civillKatlon, whose muscular fibers causo so much anxiety, for the microscopic viow of life tends to destroy all sense of proportion. Since the chief end of civilization is to specialize the individual, to increase power and usefulness by training inherent quality oniefto insure variety of aptitudes In perfected form, is it quite rational to flout modern femininity with the fact that it differs materially from the other half of the world?

Only among suva^es are men and women much alike physically or in mental characteristics. This kind of equality exists uudnr conditions wherein women perform the most uninspiring drudgery, belong to their last captor, have neither permanent homes nor rights over their children, and are literally of no account whatever. Such are the «ood old times, the late lamented paradise of the a«cs known as long ago. One of the evidences that the world is growing better every day Is that men and women cannot now bo compared. They have different aims, motives and point of view, different needs and natures requiring different satisfaction* Out of this difference grow wonderful possibilities of progress ami real happluess. To compare the girl of the period with man, American or otherwise, is a senseless proceeding that denotes Ignorance, and today has ceased to allure by the charm of novelty. There are many interesting medico-social subjects of investigation, but the health of the American girl I# not one. unless based upon facts. I*n»ls« Fiske Bryson. M. 1)., in New York World.

mistake me iikeoeae between the owner and the head on the handle Her friends •predicted nhai the beerirtx'#I' handle would only add t» the iuducement to steal, for the bead and face were exceedingly beautiful, and the shrewd young woman knew perfectly well that tljey were when she ordertd It. Butthe' strange part of it was that it didn't. For six years the owner him carried that umbrella, through rain or shine, having a new cover 'put on* "when necessary, and o£ily«H»Ce ha.s she missed it. That time she left it standing in a shop, and before she had made the rounds.of the place a polite floorwalker bad returned it to her with a smile. "I can keep- my umbrella jus* as well as that and not have It cost me half so much, either," said her best friend when she saw the new umbrella. "I can be ingenious, too, and I'm not proud," So just inside the edge of her new,umbrella-she cut a round hole as big as a half dollar. It did not hurt the usefulness of the article the least bit in the world, but it did impair the desirability of it sufficiently to keep the other members of the family from carrying it off, or from the mistakes of the casual persons in the shops. This ingenuity excited much curiosity, but the young woman found it so effective that she carried the umbrella until little of it was left but the hole.—New York Sun.

Tin Covered Kitchen Tables. Housekeepers who. never had a tin covered table for kitchen -use are still unacquainted with one of the most valuable articles of domestic economy. It is never too late to get one, however, as an ordinary kitchen table takes kindly to the metal cover. .Get the tinsmith to fit a sheet of tin on the table and perforate the edges for tacking. The tin should cover the thickness of the board top, that it may be tacked on the under side [of the table. A table socovered needs no scrubbing, is impervious to hot kettles, sheds grease as the proverbial duck's back does water, and in fact cheers the heart of the kitcbenmaid more than anything on earth, except her wages and her "company."

The woman who does her own work should not I6t another dawn find her without one—if she is not at present rejoicing in it. Said a wise family man the other day, "Anything which simplifies the domestic labor of the household should be regarded as of distinct benefit to mankind," and he was speaking of a tin covered kitchen table upon whose virtures his wife was dilating,

A fair and cheap substitute is found by covering tables with the marbled cloth sold sometimes for washstands and children's bibs. It was Mephistopheles himself who designed kitchen tables out of soft pine boards. With their absorbent and spreading qualities a tiny drop of grease is quickly converted into an unsightly blotch, and a hot handle or kettle sears Ita indelible mark across their surface. They were made certainly to be covered.—Her Point of "View in New York Times.

Some Home Cures.

Since we are adopting so many of our grandmother's ways of cooking, why not go back to the old way of gathering herbs to be used for trifling ailments, instead of calling a doctor whenever one of the family has a cold or is a little nervous? Every garden should have some space for herbs. Catnip is excellent for nervous headache, colds, slight fevers and colic. It is also good to put in poultices for bolls and other painful swellings. Sage is good for fevers, nervousness, sore mouth or sore throat.

An infusion made from the root of a plant called pleurisy root is excellent for colds and slight affections of the lungs. To prepare it grate the root, pour boiling water over it, let it steep a ffiw moments and drink it freely. Wormwood is another good old fashioned herb. A simple tea of it is good for children who are troubled with worms. The leaves, steeped in vinegar, makeexcellentapplicationsforsprains, neuralgia and pleurisy.

A most excellent cough sirup may be made by steeping a handful each of hoarhound, smart weed, thoroughwort and white root, or pleurisy root. When steeped, strain, sweeten with loaf sugar and set the dish on the back of the stove until the sirup is stewed down to the ordinary consistency.

For summer complaint and diarrhoea use lettuce roots, blackberry roots and the leaves of the ml raspberry bush. Horseradish leaves bruised, and the under side applied to the flesh, make a good substitute for mustard plasters.—Housekeeper.

How Children Are Spoiled. The little oues are entitled to loving care, to tender caresses and sweet words of endearment. It is only when love becomes injudiciously indulgent that the process of spoiling begins. It Is so pleasant and easy to give way to little exactions, to laugh at the naughty, yet winsome actions, that the rosebud is surrounded with prickly thorns, the kitten's sharp claws are grown before we awaken to the fact that our own precious darling Is a high private at least, if not a commanding officer, in the great army of enfant

a

gatm. It sounds better in

French—the foreign syllables are less downright—but there is no softening the bard reality away.

And then, with a remorseful consdousnctts that it is our child who has become a nuisance''—the favorite term applied to the spoiled children of other people—we enter hurriedly and energetically upon the task of rooting up the noxious weeds which are choking the growth of all that is sweet and attractive In the youthful character. And with a sigh of contrition we deplore our own failures and resolve to be more vigilant. We will not, we must not, let the little darlings 1* ruined by our inefficiency. And so, taking courage, we begin over again, looking cheerfully forward to the days wheti, as grandmothers, we can exerci*© the privileges of that dignity and spoil to our heart's contact.— Harper's Basar.

The Uttl* Children «f tike Bm*. The little children of the race are intellectually more respectable than the majority of ft* adults. To be sure, it is their attitude and not their achievements that stakes them mn but in estimating the human being as a mind rather than as "a gecew in the social machine," who can help thinking the attitude more important than the achievement?

Cleaning "Windows and Paint To make more easy the cleaning'of win-* dows and paint get a large sponge,.such asis used to wash carriages, and chamois akin and go to work. Use lukewarm water. Wash off the windows, glas^ and frames thoroughly with a sponge, then tfith the skin wipe them off, and no rub-, bingwill be required. Proceed the same with the painted work about the house, and you who try it will find your paint and windows never looked so well'before. Wring the chamois as dry as you can each time you use it. One. ad vantage df this method over the old way of cleaning is that no lint is left on paint or windows:

A handy thing to have for the window corners is a toothbrush to take dust or dirt out. If the paint .has been white and turned yellow, take a. little soda on the spotage and rub over it, washing'off with clean water, and you will be surprised to see how much better it will look. Or if the window sill has "any grease spots upon it, spread the soda thickly over them then scrub with soap and water. One or two tablespoonfuls of ammonia added to a pail of water will clean windows better than soap.—Hall's Journal of

Health.

Washing Soda Saves Labor. A writer has defined dirt as "matter out of place." This applies with double force to the greaseof the kitchen, which is too often allowed to accumulate on.the sides of the sink and on dishes. Properly used this grease is invaluable in making soap. By cutting the grease in the sink and on the dishes by the use of some very powerful alkali like potash or soda, we make a substance, which, if not a soap, contains the component parts of soap, 'and at once assists as a cleansing agent. A keg of "washing soda" should always be on hand near the sink so that a.little water with a lump of soda may be thrown in spiders or griddles or in any other utensil that has become greasy from cooking. After a few moments' boiling all the grease is eaten up by the alkali, and when the mixture is thrown down the sink it actually acts as a means of cleansing instead of choking up the pipe with grease.—New York Tribune.

Enthusiastic crusaders on the lookout for wrongs to champion had better survey the home field first, and having done what is demanded of them th.ere may sally [forth lance in hand and lmnner upraised. For indeed, whether they encounter giants or windmills, they have the inspiration of a good cause in fighting under the banner of work.

But they should understand that while their attitude is a tribute to work it is not real work, and rarely takes in the point of view of the orker, which is the important thing fy :my movement that is to be truely helpful to them.—"Thrown on Her Own Resources," Jenny June.

Women as Doctors.

To go back as far as the end of the Thirteenth century, a woman named Protula was professor of the art of healing, at the University of Palermo,and au old certificate in the archives of Paris shows that it was a woman who was called upon to prescribe for Louis IX on his return from the crusade. In the Seventeenth century Oliva del Sabucco, a Spanish woman, was considered an excellent doctor, and a hundred years later Anna Manzolini, an Italian, was professor in a medical college in Milan. Two other well known women doctors were Barbara Welntranhein, a German woman, and also a Swedish woman named Christine Erxbelen. In these days the United States boasts of more women doctors than any other country. England follows next,—Philadelphia Press.

A Woman with a War Reeord. The most interesting character in the Cherokee Nation is Mrs. Stella Christian, who donned male attire and fought bravely in the Confederate army during the rebellion. She was wounded at Elk Horn farm, and her sex being discovered she was discharged. Later in the war she served again under General Marmaduke. Subsequently she married an Arkansas farmer, and is now the mother of nine boy warriors.—Exchange.

A Woman's Two Husbands. Just what a young woman can do when she sets her mind to it is shown by the achievement of a good looking widow near Oshkosh, Wis.

Having been maid and wife she is now a widow.—-Yankee Blade.

WHERE THE GIRLS LIVE.

It was hardly necessary for me to have asked that question, for there is an indefinable something about Miss Storer that assures one of sympathy and charity. She is a young, sweet faced woman, with a world of tenderness in her eyes and in her voice. The little silver Maltese cross she wears at her throat shows her to be one of the "King's Daughters."

AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE.

"Quite interesting," continued Miss Storer, "is the case of one of 'my girls,' of whom, by the way, I expect great things one of these days. She was but fourteen years old when she came here. Her father was dead, and her mother dying of consumption in the hospital. Her future bade fair to be that of any one of the thousands of waifs who drift into the paths of sin in this city every year. She had lieeu placed in the Five Points House of Industry, but she shrank from the companions she met there. She was handsome, ambitious and determined. "When whe came under my care I saw that it was a question either of interesting her in the development of an uncommonly bright mind or leaving her untutored but •ivid imagination full sway to carry her Into ways of idleness and sin. I allowed that girl to spend almost all of her time in the study room, and happily was able at last to get a bome in the family of a school teacher, where she was looked upon less as a servant than as a companion. "She has developed literary tastes of no mean order, and, as I said before, I expect great things of her yet."—Sophie Searle in New York Advertiser.

l«e«Ml Xtrrlscc.

There is something remarkably absorbing and obliterating in marriage. The living woman who shares a man's name and home is more engrossing than the dead angel, even if she is only the wife of convenience nod not of low.

Even if she irritate* and annoys him, she keeps fate thoughts from straying far away from her.

Women's hearts feed on pas»l memories, but men's seldom do mors than nibble at socfa intangible food. A man thinks oil wbatbese«s,a woman of what she remembers. He is no more fickle or unfeeling woman, but he is more of a philosopher, and he does not make himself miserable over tbe irrevocable.

It behooves the woman who would

It is for such that the "Free Home for Destitute Young Girls" is intended. "This home is for respectable girls only, and not for those who have fallen," said Miss Storer, the superintendent, as I sat in the comfortable parlor of the home the other afternoon. "Where do they come from?" Theycome to us from other institutions sometimes, and through visiting missionaries. Often they are brought by clergymen, who have found them growing up like wild weeds in idleness and exposed to evil influences. Sometimes, moreover^ a girl will come here alone voluntarily." "And if a girl does come here alone and •f her own free will and ask admission," said I, "would you take her in without inquiry as to her respectability f" "Certainly we would," replied the matron. "Time enough to inquire into her character after she has been given a shelter."

She kindly took me through the house

at my

r?ques1\aDd, sh°wld

me the rooms

where the girls slept. Six or seven

iron

bedsteads with white coverlids are placed in each sleeping chamber of the wide, old fashioned house. To be sure, there are no bright pictures or pretty girlish trifles arranged about the rooms to make them attractive, but the neat little beds must be welcome indeed to the really destitute girls. The large front "room above the parlor is used as a general sitting room by the girls, where they cau study or sew every afternoon.

When I looked*in the other day there were about ten young girls busily engaged, some with their books and others in sewing. They seemed delightfully like a big happy family. "It is one of the rules of the institution that no girl shall leave us without knowing how to read and write," said the superintendent. "And so a portion of each day is devoted to their instruction in the simple branches of education. They are also taught sewing by hand and on the machine, besides being trained in all kinds of household duties, so as to be able to take the positions that are obtained for them in Christian families, where they will find good homes."

HOW THE GIRLS ARE TREATED. Applicants are received at the home between the ages of twelve and twenty-five, and all who want to become inmates must pledge themselves to obey the rules, to remain at least a month, and to nccept such situations on leaving as the superintendent may approve.

The girls while in the home rise at 6 o'clock in the morning, and go to bed at o'clock. Every morning they meet in the parlor for devotional services, and after breakfast are kept busy with domestic du ties. In the afternoons they study, sew or are allowed to go out for a walk never, however, being permitted to go upon the streets unless accompanied by some one who is connected with the home. "Do the girls ever become dissatisfied and wish to go awayf" I asked the superintendent. "Sometimes, but not very often," she answered. "Of course it is natural that a young girl should become restless under the restraint she must feel here, if she has been allowed her own free will before she came here, but for the most part we are able to control them, and they learn to appreciate the advantages of the home.

The Sflnool Ar« for Children. The strati upon the brain of tbe ohihi depends greatly upoivsystem or the want of it /n'the jducationat procesk We think that'more children break down in study -fo/.want of properly adopted educational, methods than from Any other cau^e. The. brain was formerly' believ^tf ^o reach its greatest development at about the sfeventh year." "This is now, however, known to be' incorrect, "and the- maximum individual' weight is not met with until at or shortly before the twentieth year. But the brain at seven years has grown far as actually, to reach in "the male five-sixths and in the1 feinal€ ten^elevehths of its ultitnate weight. This would seem tdr indicate that by that time it has matured so far as to be able to fulfill its functions with ease. It is not' wise, generally speaking, to set^a child to study of any kind^ even the, simplest, be-' foce that age. At every age the child i.-, learning spontaneously through all its senses, but the spontaneity should not be interfered with, or only in the very slightest degree.

Herbert Spencer says "the first requisite

a child is colled on to exercise its brain un til this degree of maturity at least has been arrived at the better. There are excep tional cases where precocious infants^ who yet, as'men, hav6 made tl\eir mark in the world, have Bomehow imbibed an astonishing amount of knowledge at a much earlier period. Witness the well known case of John Stuart Mill, who read Greek at three, and of Macaulay, who read incessantly from the time he was three years old but ordinary humanity is slower, and Bhould not be unduly hastened.—Brooklyn Eagle.
