CHANGES OF FIFTY YEARS IN THE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN.

Helpmeets Indeed—Women in Libraries. Woman's Prerogatives—Coterlng Old Blankets—Coffee a* a Deodoriser—Importance of Sanitation.

The whole treatment of children has changed, and the idea of severity toward them, especially while they are little, has become, even with people of harsh character, utterly abhorrent. "Whipping," which even in the "forties" was the regular and proper method of discipline, is considered an almost diabolical cruelty "sending to bed," which was really a method of inflicting solitary confinement, is entirely disused and "standing in the corner" is condemned as inflicting "humiliation." There is, in truth, in a majority of comfortable households, no way left of punishing a child beyond a reproving look, a lecture which must not be too protracted, aod in extreme cases a deprivation of some promised and greatly desired indulgence.

Children's health, too, is looked after with even more care than that of "grown ups," sometimes, indeed, with a sedulousoess which degenerates into coddling education is postponed by at least two years, lest it should press too severely upon unformed minds and a perfect science has grown up among us of devising ways for preventing the little things from suffering from ennui, or from the restlessness with rhich bright children are tormented— lometirnef! with this odd result, that the little men and women grow blase, and betray the "unamusableness" of which the Countess du 'iiarry complained in Louis XV.

The little children are "podded" in affection until the air of ordinary life hardly blows on them, and are in certain classes, especially those classes which can afford to live the happy double life in town and country, the happiest of all created beings. They are liberated for all the earlier years of their live3 from care, have ceased altogether to fear their parents, for whom they invent pet names usually tinged with a coinlc irreverence, and have nearly lost— not quite, for even good nurses are on that point a little' unmanageable—those grotesquely terrible superstitions about policemen, sweeps anil bogie men generally, which forty or fifty years ago terrorized half the nuraeries in the country. They have grown, in their prido of security, ulccptical of ail those things, and have been known to treat even supernatural menaces with a calm "I don't believe you God isn't half so bad as that."—London Spectator.

Helpmeets Indeed.

Tho wives of members of the sacred and medical professions have a different career from those of their sisters who marry the man, and not his vocation. These women arc expected to do much that is not exacted from any other women, and the wife, especially of the clergyman, lives always in "that fierce light which beats upon a throne for she and her family are claimed as the property of tho congregation as thoroughly as ever sovereign became tho possession of a nation. Tho "mistress of the mause" needs to bo a woman of rare character and strong health to fulfill all that is expected of her, fwid it would be well were she also endowed with that serenity of temperament which is tho best armor of defense, and which forbids tho use of offensive weapons.

Tho physician's wifo has also unusual claims upon her time, though in a lesser degree, and tho imperative telephono and the charity patients often absorb her precious momenta, while in addition she has tho wifely anxiety of seeing her poor tired husband awakened from his belated slumbers to go on nocturnal errands.

Maud Muller sighed for tho silken gown and other luxuries which would be hers as the bride of tho judge. She did not look forward to the high vocation of sharing his legal duties, nor does any lawyer's fiancee dream of playing tho part of Portia and assuming to IHJ learned in the law. The editor's wifo seldom uses her peu for the public, and officers of the navy or army expect only tho military virtue of promptness to be practiced in their households. But doctors of divinity and medicine alike, when they marry, feel that they are defrauded if tho chosen young women fail in any of tho requirements imposed by their married dignities.—Harper's Bazar.

Women and Library Work.

Three hundred and eighty women are employed in twenty-four prominent libraries, receiving from &M0 to $1,500, an averago salary of £570. The average is greatly reduced by tho largo number required to do mechanical work in comparison with the few needed for supervisory and independent work. Thirteen women of recognized ability, trained as apprentices In large libraries or in the school of experience, receive from $550 to $2,000, an average •alary of $1,160.

The thirty-seven women trained in the Library school, ouco of Columbia college, but now attached to tho state library at Albany, which was opened in 1SST, receive from $000 to $l,:KX), an average lalaryof fOOO. The thirteen highest salaries paid to Library school women average $1,05X1 Seven women as librarians of state libraries receive from $635 to $1,200, an average salary of $1,000. The twenty-four men filling similar positions receive an average salary of $1 ,+50,

A woman occupying a subordinate position in a library, where faithfulness, accuracy and a fair knowledge of books are the only essentials, can expect from $300 to 1500. A good cataloguer or a librarian with average ability and training can expect to receive from 1600 to $900. A woman with good ability and fitness, with a liberal education and special training, can expect $1,000 at the head of a library or of a department in a large Library, with a possible increase to $1,500 or $2,000. Women rarely receive the same pay as men for the same work.—New York Sun.

W oman'# Prerogative.

John Stuart Mill, though he admits a woman's right to do whatever the law of her being prompts her to do, so long as she remain* unmarried, assumes that when she marries she has chosen her carver, and any other pursuit must be abandoned. The love of one man for one woman, and of one woman for one man, is not the only passion of love in the human soul. The love of art, science, literature or of any pursuit er calling may become a noble passion de standing gratification as well as the passion of human lore. That individual can sever attain his full and complete development who is compelled to strangle and kilt one-half of hi« nature. The complete individual must develop in all direction*.

Hitherto women have been more or l«*s cramped and restrained in all directions ttttom.

Hitherto love and marriage have"

toea an inspiration and a forward impptns to tn«n onl?. To women they have

been not omy a retardation, but a retrogation. This is violating all intellectual and spiritual laws, which ought to be imperative and paramount. The intellectual and spiritual laws are as much natural laws as the laws of physical nature. Among all natural laws there must be a divine harmony. There can be no discord their relations to one another and to the universe. To discover this harmony and to live in full accord with it is the secret of the salvation of the human race.—Blanch Fearing in Chicago "Woman's News.

Covering Old Blankets.

Almost all old housekeepers have a store of blankets which, having been in use for many years, have become thin and yellow from washing. They would make most useful summer coverings but for their ngly ctVor. Now' a very little expense will make them decidedly pretty and an addition to one's comfort on cool nights, not to be too much commended. Get enough cheese cloth, pale blue or pink, to cover the blanket on both sides, some blue or pink zephyr wool to buttonhole the edges, and tie the cover through the blanket, interlining from side to side, and you have all you need except a big darning needle.

Run the widths of cheese cloth together till they form two pieces a little larger than the blanket, turn in the edges and buttonhole the three thicknesses together all around the square with stitches half an inch apart. Next thread the darningneedle with the zephyr doubled, and put it through from one side to the other and back again, tying the wool in alight knot and leaving short fluffy ends to form a tiny tassel at equal distances in squares all over the cover.

They are prettily made of contrasting colors, pink one side and blue the other, and also of dark red cheese cloth tied with black wool. The most inexperienced person can make them.—Maria Pendleton Kennedy in Homemaker.

Cofl'eo as a Deodorizer.

One of the simplest disinfectants of a sickroom is ground coffee burned on a shovel so as to fill the atmosphere of the room with its pungent, aromatic odor. If two red hot coals arg placed on afire shovel and a teaspoonful of ground coffee is sprinkled over them at a time, using three teaspoonfuls in all, it will fill the ^oom with its aroma, and is said to have the hygienic effect of preventing the spread of various epidemic diseases. The odor is very agrcable and soothing to a sick per son, where other disinfectants prove dis agreeable. Physicians who doubt the power of coffee as a disinfectant frequently recommend it as a deodorizer, and it is cer tainly one of the very best and most agree able. Most of the expensive disinfectants sold in the shops have no special power as such, but are simply deodorizers, the two being frequently confounded. It is best, however, to obtain from a physician in cases of dangerous epidemics something that will certainly destroy the germs of the disease, as well as deodorize the room. —Now York Tribuije.

Tlio Way to Boil Eggs.

One woman (and her household ways arc tho wonder and envy of her friends) says that the right way to boil eggs is not to boil them at all.

First put tho eggs into a wire basket with a tall wire handle, that saves the timo and vexation of fishing them out with a spoon when cooked. Then set the nest of eggs in a kettle or other vessel, with cold water enough to cover the eggs—not hot water or warm water, but cold water. Set tho vessel over a brisk fire. Do not let the water boil, only just "come to a boil," and at that particular time—not before, not later—tho eggs will be cooked as they should be.

Remove the basket of eggs by the tall handle. Spread a napkin over a deep dish, lay in tho eggs and fold the four corners of the napkins over them and serve.

If these directions are followed exactly the eggs when broken will roll into the cups like balls of soft jelly, nothing adhering to the shell tho entire egg thoroughly cooked and delicate and tender through and through.

Air in tho Children's lied rooms.

The ventilation of a bedchamber cannot bo too carefully attended to, and, as says Horace Mann, "seeing the atmosphere is forty miles deep all around the globe, it is a useless pieco of economy to breathe it more than once." Yet nine .mothers out of ten will carefully closo all tho windows for fear of colds and night air, and leave two or three children asleep in a stifling atmosphere and see no connection between the colds and throat troubles they have and tho vitiated air she compels them to breatho night after night. Let tho morning air and sunshine into the bedroom as soon as possible after the occupants have risen, and if there is no sunshine and it is not raining, let in the air. Do not make up beds too soon after they are vacated. You may get your house tidied sooner, but it is neither cleanly nor healthy to snugly pack up bedelotbing until the exhalations of the sleepers' bodies have been removed by exposure to the air.—-Exchange.

Importance of Sanitation.

It is of the utmost importance that the public should have some general knowledge of proper house sanitation, and I would urge upon the householder to secure it by every means in his power. I do not mean that every man should be his own plumber, but that ho should acquire a sufficient knowledge of this subject, so that he could examine for himself the plumbing of his house or his apartment and say, "I am confident of being able to protect my family from the dangers that surround them. I have inspected my plumbing and the fixtures that connect with it I have seen to it that all the traps under those fixtures are properly set, and that which istiie most important of all, that those traps shall always and at all times maintain and hold their water seals, making it impossible for the deadly sewer is to enter our rooms."—Humanity and ealth.

Mrs. Gladstone to Mothers

Trouble should be taken by every mother to make herself acquainted with the laws and principles governing the human body. She should learn the vigilant watchfulness withoat which she will never succeed in understanding the tender organisation of her child thus constitutions will be strengthened and lives saved. Instead of walking in uncertain paths in the dark, now overcoddllng. now overbracing, praux ticing experiments haphazard on the delicate little frame, the mother will be guided aright, for the laws of nature will betaken for hcr gnids. And so beautiful and so full of interest are these laws that sorely, even if their $tudy involves some sacrifice of time, it will becomc a pleasure as it becomes a dots and there will be ample: compensation.—Mrs. William £. Gladstone in Ladies' Home JournaL

A Prrttr Dluaer CtasUtta.

A very pretty custom in Dresden might well be introduced here. At a swell dinner there when the sweets came on an empty

isBH

cawmcopia was placed by each woman's plate. The writer asked the purpose of the cornucopias, and was told that they were intended to enable the ladies to take something home in for the children. There it is quite the custom to remember the little ones in this way. The inquiry, "What did you bring me?" is familiar to every mother on returning from a dinner or wedding, and the little favor, the piece of candy slipped quietly into the pocket or a pieco of wedding cake, is doubly sweet to the little ones, whose only vision of the festivities froa been its mother's departure and return. It is a pretty custom, this Dresden one, and one that should find favor i^ the eyes of American mothers. Bring in the cornucopia!—New York Recorder.

Italian Cream Caramels. f-

Boil ten pounds of sugar with one pound of glucose to 233 degs. then pour out on the marble and when fairly cool add two and a half pounds of chocolate (melted), then turn to a cream then warm one and a quarter pounds of good butter in a pan and add the chocolate cream and two vanilla beans then warm all till it can be poured out on paper laid on the marble with iron rods around let the mass remain thus over night, or till thoroughly cool, and cut in squares If it is desirable to have these a little softer, cook only to 230 or 281 degs. Italian creams, or "Genesees," as they are called, are sold in New York and Philadelphia at eighty cents per pound.—Supply World.

A Scholar of Forty.

A parlor pupil that an up town school teacher has is a woman of forty, the mother of three children. She comes on certain evenings of every week t-o study the common English branches. In her interview seeking the lessons she said:

My children are at the public schools, and I find myself powerless to give them the assistance which they need to keep up with their grades. Everything is taught differently nowadays than in my school times. I reach the same results, but by a process they do not understand, and I must be taught their way to be of any help to them.—Her Point of View in New York Times.

Origin of Bangs.

The bang is one of the latest innovations among women and girls. It had its origin in the reformatory for girls on Blackwell's island, New York. The inmates were in the habit of getting away, and it was difficult to.recognize them after changing their apparel. It was first suggested to crop them, Mt this was considered too. .".7eeping. The bang was then adopted, :nd it was a perfect mark. For some re:::, or other the style struck the popular fancy, and in the course of a few years nfn its adoption as a mark in the reformat. became one of the fads of fashion.—Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

Women in tho Harvard Observatory.

For twenty years the Harvard observatory has always employed some.women on its staff of computers, but since the endowing of the Draper memorial (founded by Mrs. Henry Draper, of New York, in honor of her husband), a corps of women has been engaged on work more in the nature of original research.

The examination of the photographs, plates, as well as all measurements aiu the preparation of the great catalogue, are in the hands of Mrs. Nina Fleming and her eight women assistants.

Caro in Choosing Playmates.

Should not wa mothers be careful in choosing playmates for our little dtats? Smaller children are apt to make them babyish, while older ones perhaps teach them things wo do not care to have them know. It is best I think to keep their friends under our own supervision, and to watch them unseen for a little while, and we can soon judge whether or not they are suitable playmates for our children.—Cor. Babyhood.

Keating Her Eyos.

I was driving to a succession of "At Homes" with a lady noted for her beautiful bright eyes large, prominent and flashing, they outshine her big diamond eardrops. I notice that directly we re-en-tered tho carnage to go from one reception to another sho almost closed her eyelids all the sparkle vanished her brilliance "stood at ease."—London Illustrated News.

Don't shut up your house, lest the sun should fade your carpets and your hearts, lest merry laugh should shake down some of tho musty old cobwebs therel If you want to ruin your sons, let them thinkthat all mirth and social enjoyment must be left on tho threshold without when they come home at night.—Home Gems.

A pretty wedding gift is the combination set of the long glove, handkerchief and nightdress cases, together with the toilet cushion, all made to match in design and treatment. They are made of white silk and embroidered in orange blossoms. A frill of pinked silk and lace edges them.

The fact that women in East India are making pnblic speeches is a striking evidence of the rapid strides of progress., In the Indian national congress the women are recognized, and the consensus of thought from the standpoint of both sexes is considered potent.

THE "GIRLS' POLY."

Some of the Advantages of London's Practical Working Girls' Club.

Perhaps the most complete and practically successful working girls' club that has yet been organized is one that has been provided through the generosity of a good man and his devoted wife. It is in London, at the West End, in Langham place, just beyond Regent street, and adjoining the well known Langham hotel. It is commonly known as tho "Girls' Poly," to distinguish it from an institution with which it is closely allied, the Young Men's Polytechnic institute, which is universally known among young people in London as the "Poly." The more precise name of the club in question is the "Young Women's institute."

The fees for institute membership iire very small—eighteen pence per quarter, or five shillings ($1.25) per year. The establishment is open in all its parts for the benefit of the members, from 6:30 to 10 in the evenings. The membership fee gives free use of sitting rooms, library, readiug and music rooms, game rooms, recreation grounds and numerous other advantages, and also entitles the fortunate young women to admission at low tuition rates to an immense range of classes and entertainments.

The purely club features of the place are highly prized by the girls. It is no small thing for them to have a bright, cheerful establishment that they regard as their own, where they may resort in tho evenings, and in connection „with which they have access to so much that is diverting and instructive. It is needless to emphasize the importance of such a privilege, to any one who knows how the average young worltingmen and women of our great cities are obliged to live.

In the. refreshment rooms the member may procure her cup of tea and light lunch, at a cost decidedly less than elsewhere, And there is served in the capacious dining room an excellent and substantial dinner, in courses, at sixpence. For fouvper.ee, a very good but less bountiful dinner may bo had by the more economical young women of business. These privileges are, of course, limited to members. Tho institute dining rooms are vastly more pleasant than the cheap restaurantn or lunchrooms to which the girls might otherwise be compelled to resort, and the food at the institute is incomparably better in quality aud cheaper in price.

All the influences of the place are homelike, wholesome and improving. There seems to be a tacit understanding among the young women who meet in these agreeable quarters that they must be on their best behavior—must "live up to their blue china," so to speak.—Albert Shaw in Scribner's.

Girls in I)r'y Goods Stores.

"I've made a close study of the working girl," said the superintendent of one of-the biggest of the mammoth dry goods stores on Fulton street, "and know her, as a class, to be honorable aud self respecting. She earns good wages, too, and as she is prudent and saving often has a modest bank account. Of courso my experience does not go beyond the class of girls emjrfoyed in dry goods stores. I have been in a number of cities in the south and west and am in a position to judge of the moral and intellectual status of the saleswoman as she has appeared to me. The chief characteristic I have noticed in tho Brooklyn girl is her independence, not the independence which becomes offensive and unbearable, but the evidence of modest worth and respect which pervades everything she does. Her demeanor is unobtrusive, yet by no means shrinking, and she answers your questions frankly and without hesitation. "In point of dress the Brooklyn saleswoman is by far the superior of her New York sister. She is always neat and clean, not so much so from necessity as choice. Do I approve of uniformity in dress? Under certain conditions, yes. In big dry goods stores, where saleswomen .are apt to be mistaken for patrons, some distinguishing mark is absolutely necessary. 1 do not approve of what you call a uniform—that is, a kind of livery in which the wearer is made to feet her position—but it is w?ll to have all dressed in dark colors of the same shade."—Brooklyn Eagle.

The Great Women of Islam.

In the early centuries of Islam, almost until the extinction of the Saracenic empire in the east, women continued to occupy as exalted a position as in modern society. Zobeida, the wife of Horun, plays a conspicuouspart in the history of the age, and by her virtues, as well as by her accomplishments, leaves an honored name tc posterity. Humieda, the wife of Faruk, a, Medinlte

citizen,

left for many yean the

sole guardian of her minor son, educates him to become one of the most distinguished juris-consults of the day.

Sukinah, or Sakina, the daughter of Hussain and the grand daugter of All, was' the most brilliant, most accomplished and most virtuous woman of her time. JETerself no mean scholar, she prized the converse of learned and pious people. Buran, the wife of the Caliph Mamun, UmmulFaxl, Mamun's sister, married to the eighth Imam of the house of Ali, UmmiHabil, Mamun's daughter, were all famous for their scholarship.—Ameer Ali in Nineteenth Century. 8sfe

Ono of Woman's Ways.

«•1

"One" of the most singular things in feminine human nature," says aNew York hotel man, "is the utter indifference of a woman in a hotel in matters which, in her own home would excite the liveliest apprehension. I've seen a woman stand her children upon fifty dollar chairs to look out of the windows, and laugh at them jumping up and down on two hundred dollar sofas as if it were cunning. Furniture upholstered in the most delicate colors and textures will be used in tho most reckless maimer. Sho will slam her street shoes or damp umbrella on it, will put empty plates on it when meals are served in her rooms, or throw oranges or bananas on it when she comes from tho dining room—it is all the same. "Much of our furniture is new, of delicate pattern and very expensive. But how long will such furniture last with such treatment? Women who will do this would lock their own drawing rooms against their own children, probably keep such rooms closed except for company. As for the children of anybody else—well, they'd skin 'em alive if they caught them at such things! Did you ever notice what a distinctively weary appearance hotel furniture soon assumes? These are some of the reasons. And these are some of the reasons why the hotel bills come high."—New York Herald.

I iclds for Women's Worb.

Horace Mann, the great educator, used to say that while the world was sown with jails and prisons, he could not understand the complaint made by some women that almost no career except the domestic career was open to them. Mrs. Frye and Mrs. Dix were to him models worthy of all imitation, and that moro women did not imitate them was due, he thought, to the fact that work of the kind that they loved was not followed by worldly distinction.—Exchange.

Little Judith, the eight yOar 6ld daughter of Mr. Millineaux, of the Inland Christian Advocate, Des Moines, Iowa, on learning that her special playmate, a child of her own age, had taken the whooping cough, took a bottle of medicine, which had cured her of troublesome cough, and went over and said: "You must take thin medicine it will do you good." Mr. Mullinoaux was curious as to the result and on making inquiry learned that tho littlo neighbor, who had tiaen unable to rest at night, had been greatly relibved in that respect. Tho paroxysms were neither so frequent, severe or enduring. The cough, under the genial action of this admirable remedy, was loosened. The medicine liquifies the nvueus and enables the sufferer to throw it off. The attack in the beginning gave every evidence of-helngasevero attack of whooping cough. Indeod it was a genuine case but this preparation, while perhaps it m«y not be a positive cure for the disease, is undoubtedly able to alleviate it. If it does not cure it, it will give tinque*lioncd relief. The medicine referred- to is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For na!e by druggists.

THE CAPRI GIRL.

How Capri Women Are So Healthy.

Tho Women of Capri are the healthiest in the world. The secret of tlielr wonderful vigor Is work, plain diet and constant life in the open air. "Nerves" are unknown.

Women of our own country have Injured their nerves by wrong diet and ashut-up, Indoor life. Thousands fee) Just ready to drop from nervous weakness. It Is what makes so many nervous, tired, languid, without energy or ambition. They have headache, stomach trouble, kidney and liver complaints, constipated bowels, headache, malaria, palpitation, poor blood, etc., which are caused by tocakencd nerves and nervous prostration.

The Grip also, has left as an after-effect, more weakened and shattered nerves and more physical dcDlllty and prostration than any other known epidemic.

These difficulties are always Increased and greatly aggravated In Spring, by that Spring Debility which so weakens and enervates us all. But all these troubles are curable by the great tonic and restorative for women, Dr. Greene's Nervura. A perfcct condition of nerve vigor and strength always follows Its use, and thus women can secure as strong nerves and vigorous health as those of Capri. No woman should fail to use Greene1* Nervura in spring if sho wiehes to keep strong and healthy. Purely vegetable and harmless. Druggists, SI.
