Said a motherly old

ko"1

who

has

been a

professional nnrr*? ni:iny yer.rs: "I believe one of tliedonici- '. ic training Fchools •we need most szuool for mothers and nursegirls. or at least a course of severe lessons on the niishment of children. Of course children iTiivt bepiinished. I know, too, that xvc have progressed very materially in this w: y. The father nowadays who would wallop hi: boys with a trunk strap kept hanging liandy by the buckle beljind the kitchen door, aa was common enough when I was a child, would be in danger of an overhauling hj' the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. But we have other ways, some quite as serious in their effects, not only on the character of the child, but physically as well. "Boxing the ears is an altogether too common mode of punishment among all sorts of mothers. When a man punishes a child it's usually a rerious matter, for they seldom do it unless angry, and they have no conception of the force of the blows they administer. "At a free dispensary on the west side more than a dozen cases of deafness in little children have been treated, every one of which was due to a fracture of the eardrum caused by a blow on the side of the head/ Quite naturally a child's eardrums are weaker and thinner than those of an adult, and e.en if the membrane Is not broken inflammation is likely to be caused by a blow and to result in impaired hearing. A blow on the ear causes the air to rush suddenly and with great force against the eardrum nnk'i in the same way that a wave in the surf would do, except that the concussion of the air makes the force of the latter more powerful and consequently harmful. "Keeping the children after school is another barbarous mode of punishment. In the first place it gives the child the impression that school is a sort of punishment, and his being 'cept later is simply prolonging the torture Besides, children, as a rule, are kept in the schoolroom long enough and should 1)0 let nut into the fresh air as soon as possible. Besides, it punishes the teacher, who is often overworked and tired as well as the child. "I've known mothers to wonder why their children \iero so timid and easily frightened, when they themselves had often shut thoso sure children in a dark closet for tho most t.ivial offenses. Such a punishment frequently affects a child's brain, brings on spasms and sometimes results in the death of a sensitive child from the terror inspired. "Do 1 really believe children ought to be punished at all? Why, of course. Both rewards and punishments ai'c necessary for children. If a child is very unruly or ul tempered it is because of his mother's lack of training or because of inherited tendencies, and in either case justice ought to be tempered with mercy. If a child is positively cruel there is no way, but to make him feel tho pain he inflicts. Theroare two things only for which a child should bo punished—disobedience and untruthfulness—and if a child is taught to do right for right's sake and not for fear of punishment very little punishment will go a long way."—Chicago Post.

A Model Cycling Costume.

Mrs. Elizabeth Robins .C?enn*ll, 4.h* authoress and actress, formerly of Philadelphia, but now of London, who has been riding first a tandem with her husband and later on the ladies' bicycle for nearly ten years, and who has toured many thousands of miles both here and nbroad, wears a costumo which she nd vocal es highly and which appears to possess considerable merit for tho use intended. In describing it she eays:

I used to thinK that the orditnu-y tailor made dress would serve all cycling purposes. And so it did

jus

long as I rode a

tandem ricycle, where thero is next to no danger of skirts catching in the wheels. But on a bicycle I found it was another matter. The rugs in which I arrived at Berlin forced me to have anew gown made, and my husband, who Wife tired of seeing me tumble, set his wits to work and in vented what I think a perfect cycling dres- i. There have been other inventions declared perfect by their inventors—for example, one marvelous skirt, closed around tho bottom with a wide piece of cloth in which there are incipient knickerbhckors. But what, 1 wonder, becomes of that piece of oloth when you sil uu the machine? Then thero art} skirls closed around the feet like a bag and a number of other ingenious de vices.

But mine is ho simplest of all. My skirt was of blue serge (this was a mistake gmy tweed would have been better). It was made without foundation and with a deep hem turned tip on the outside and well secured by rows of stitching, so that there was absolutely nothing on the inside to catch. It was the ordinary walking length, for I dislike when I am in a large town to liava on an eccentric costume. But by a clever arrangement of hooks and eyes—the hooks around the waist—-I could loop it up so that it just reached my ankles when 1 Wits on the machine, and as there was no unnecessary fullness in the back there was small—if anv -danger of its getting wound up in the wheel.

After I left Berlin I had as little trouble with my dress as if 1 hod, like the French woman, worn Knickerbockers. For the rest, a linen blouse, a jacket to put on when off the machine and a felt hat completed my costume. Next to the skin wool should be worn, for riding combinations ifre most comfortable, and I recommend wool corsets. They absorb the prcspiration. Mine has so few bones that it is never stiff and does not interfere with my movements.

Why Nc*ill«wnrk lit Not Praetlecd. The reasons of the growing infidelity to needlework as an amusement are not far to »eek. The nervous restlessness of the modern temperament is one of them. Our grandmothers knew nothing of nerves and were content in the accomplishment of one (square of wool work in the span of a labor day. Hour after hour sat the mother of all. living at her spinning wheel or at her tapestry frame, slumbrous of brain, tranquil of heart and placid of face, while the world without revolved in bliss or despair, reeking naught of her whose soul lay La the evcAutkm of an embroidered blossom or the turn of a stocking heel. Today far other issues claim the energies and the wits of womanhood. Her ears are no longer cIom^I to tho press of Ufa nor to its pain, for which knitting is no sedative nor crochet an anodyne.

Another reason for the discarding of what is commonly called "fancy work" among educated women Is the spread of the utilitarian spirit characteristic of these latter

days. Life is less ornamental than it was, I,at it is certainly more useful as a whole. Butterflies may be numerous enough., but there are more bees. What is the nse of embellishing antimacassars? is a question which certainly never occurred to our fail ancestresses, but it rises naturally enough to the heart and also to the lips of the modern uuiid who joins a Dorcas ijociety if the love of stiteliory be in her. or subscribes to a forary if it be not. Lawn tennis has also something to do with the decline and fall of the \vorfcb»ssj et.

Twenty years ago the necessity for physical exercise had not dawned upon the female intelligence, and the doctrines of hy giene were neither understood by the public nor formulated by the faculty. The boys 3f the family went out into the fresh air to play ball, but the girls sat in the schoolroom and learned to do crewel work, while their mothers played croquet, with never a vision of tennis to disturb their lethargy. Now these activities are the rule instead of the exception, and as the days provide no extra hours in which to take part in them the cult of the health has superseded the cult of the needle. Modern life has no longer time for useless stitches and few enough minutes for necessary ones.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Women In the Home Circle. In speaking of the rapid strides made in the advancement of women, William M. Salter, in his address before the Society for Ethical Culture, said: "The richest result of movements for the education and advancement of women will be in the circle of the home. Tliere is no knowledge of history or philosophy, no acquaintance with public affairs, no range of scientific study that may not come into play in a mother's education of her children. We do not always realize that the advancement of woman means the advancement of man. Let us be large and liberal in spirit let us say that henceforth man and woman shall rise together that great thoughts and great aims shall inspire them both that together they shall work for the humanization of society, the civilization of the race."

Now this is a sentiment in which we entirely agfee. The home circle is the one to be enriched by woman's best thoughts and noblest ambitions—not directly she receives a college education to lc ok about for fields of work far away from the surroundings of her youth or the circle of her acquaintances.

We believe in women tidvancing in thought and mental culture so that they are companionable wives to their husbands and instructive mothers to their children. Let their wider education teach them how to make home pleasant instead of spurring them onto the platform or into the arena of politics. The work is just as noble and the reward far greater, though their fame may not extend beyond the limits of the affec t.ions of those closely akin to them.

Yet is not the praise of husband and the happy smile of children when mother can spare them an hour of valuable time more appreciated by the true woman than the applause of thousands who are as quick to condemn as ready to uphold? Today you may bask in the sunshine of leadership in circles where the discussion of abstruse topics exclude the humbler duties of home, yet a new light may appear tomorrow and you will be as though you had never been. But in the home it is different. There you shine with an undimmed radiance that no rival can diminish or cloud destroy you are queen of hearts, the best and sweetest in the world, with the noble title of wife and mother.—Philadelphia Times.

Lessons That Am Needed.

It is a wise mother vtyio can find occupation for her children that will afford education for them as well as amusement, and yet these little homemakers of tjie next generation are generally more eagerto help mother at seven than they are at seventeen.

Any woman who has done her cooking with "a troublesome comfort" in a high chair at her elbow will testify tt the satisfaction with which the chubby hands will cut out cakes from a piece of dough, and the triumph with which they will point out their own when taken from the oven.

Patience, mothers! If you give those little bands to understand that their help is more bother than assistance they will not be jus ready to proffer their aid with the cakes by and by, when their help will be needed. If we impress upon oiir children from infancy tho idea that each ohe of them, even the toddler at our knee, has some part to perform in the routine of work that he is as necessary to the f'ell being of the household as are father and mother, he will grow up with a sense of Responsibility which will bind him closer to the home. It may be easier now to hang up little Robbie's coat for him and hunt up his mittens than it is to keep a cheerful, patient oversight of the child while teaching him to do it for himself. But will it be easier by and by when Robert is twenty?

We have seen a young girl's gown, the work of painstaking, loving, mother hands, with the clinging folds and carefully laid plaits, gray with the siftings of dust and lint, and as we noted its crumpled, untidy appearance we have felt that nothing can measure the responsibilities that wait upon those who are intrusted with the care of children.—Elizabeth Ford Holt in Good Housekeeping.

Mother of tho American Editor. It was the qualities inherited from his mother that led Horace Greeley on to success and even to fortune in the pecuniary sense of the worth. She Was of a masctiline hardihood of body, intellect and character, of cheerful and untiring industry, working out of doors as well as in doors, and 4 humorist. endowed with a constant flow of animal spirits. It is reported of her that she "coukl outrake any man in the towu and could load the hay wagons as fast and as wel I as her husband. While doing more than the work of an ordinary man and an ordinary woman combined, she would laugh and sing all day long and tell stories all the evening."

She was a great favorite, especially with the children, whom she delighted with an inexhaustible stock of stories and songs and other country ballads and traditions. It was this latter source from which her little Horace derived his first educational impulse as he stood beside her while she plied her spinning wheel. She was also his first teacher in the more prosaic "rudiments," Horace was a feeble, sickly child, often under medical treatment, and unable to watch through a closcd window the falling of rain without incurring an instant and violent attack of illness. She was

par­

ticularly tender of him from the fact of having lost her two previous children just before his birth. Hence he was kept close to her side, and from the spelling book on her knee he learned to rend, as well as to be entertained, before he could fairly walk, and at an earlier period than be could remember in later years.—St. Ixjuis PostDispatch. 'j,.

Scrapbook*.

In a ccrtain Boston family each member of the household is provided witft large scrapbooks, in which to collect pictures of various subjects. The father calls his three volumes "A

Study of Human Nature/' and 1

portraits of men and women from nil she

different walks of life are collected thereinJ The mother gathers scenes from tho life on Christ the oldest daughter, reproductions of artists' pictures, while the three younger people "divide among themselves the subjects of home scenes, animal pictures, Bible pi?tures and views from America, Europe, Asia and Africa. It is remarkable how rapidly these scrapbooks have grown.

Magazines and pictorial papers have been, a fruitful source from which to gather, and interested friends have contributed. The fact that the books are divided into separate subjects adds much to their interest, and their instructiveness to lie children is great. Another scrapbook soon to be made in this family is the outcome of a summer In Europe. A collection of over 150 photographs are to be mounted in this book, all of them being views which the owner has seen. They will be arranged in the order of his journey, and opposite each picture will be written a full description, giving heights of mountains and other points of particular interest, and telling the exact circumstances Under which it was seen. This album will be invaluable to its owner and entertaining to all who see it.—Boston Letter. •v ,•

"Love of Dress and Its Limits. Beauty has a powerful influence over most of us. A humorously pathetic story of an old man whose life had been spent with a severely plain, ill dressed wife, and who secretly purchased a flaxen haired doll to gratify his latent love of the beautiful, will illustrate the principle. Actual physical beauty is a rare gift, but pleasant, iheery, cleanly looks and agreeable dressing go far toward answering the same purpose. The woman who studies the question of dress in order that she may find and appropriate, who makes a careful study of olor and outlines from an artistic standpoint, and who seeks to emphasize every ane of her good points and to disguise those which are less attractive, is adding materially to her influence for good at home and abroad. But when dress becomes a paramount consideration in a woman's life and simply a means of gratifying her vanity or eclipsing her neighbors ifc is a lamentable perversion and injures herself and all who come under her influence. Christian Union.

New York and Other Women. New York women are very fond of criticising what they call the bad dressing of the south and west by this they prove their absolute ignorance of the effect of surroundings. They might as well expect an Italian peasant girl to wear a Regent street tailor made gown as to think that a southern girl, breathing in soft airs, having a warm, sunshiny atmosphere, will not love pink, blues, soft frills and trifles, or that a western girl, iuhaling a cold, clear, crisp air, will not yearn for warm browns, rich greens or glowing reds. New York is narrow it is a city of one street, one restaurant, and, it thinks, one set. It claims that the best of everything comes to it, and yet Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco each has more pretty women than this great city.—New York Cor. Buffalo News.

The Care of Odds and Ends. There are few things that are more neglected or that cause more annoyance than the bits and scraps of cloth that accumulate about a house. Those that are valuable are often allowed to go to waste through carelessness or else are permitted to become occasions of annoyance by reason of gathering moths or dust, and from the littering up of the rooms in which they are stored. The best plan is to provide large bags for all pieces and patches. Cotton, silk and woolen should be kept separate. In the woolen Jjag a package of*camphor^ may keep away moths unless the parcels become too thoroughly inhabited by them. The foolishness of throwing away all that is not of immediate use need not be commented on it should be self evident.—New York Ledger.

I A Shawl from Persian Cats' Hair. The Duchess of Northumberland is tho possessor of a shawl which was presented by King Charles of France, and which

cost half a million of francs. It is manu

frnT'

sian cat. The hair of this cat's fur is so extremely fine and plastic that a single hairis scarcely perceptible to the naked eye. The spinning and weaving of this material and Ihe production of a single shp.wl like the one referred to requires a Tew thousands of catskins and the labor of several years. The Duchess of Northumberland's shawl measures eight yards square, but is so fine and elastic that it aui, if necessary, be compressed into a large coffee cup.—Exchange,

Poor Economy.

A dangerous policy consists of economizing in lights and fuel, newspapers and magazines, and attractive dress, good nature and patience, until husbands and sons are driven to chibscoms and saloons for the warmth and 'cheer and freedom that is lacking in their so called "homes," and daughters have little knowledge or interest beyond matters of dress and fancy work, the servant question and their own and children's ailments.—St. Louis Globe-Dem-ocrat.

Tho Value of a Business Education. Charlotte Emerson Brown, president of the Federation of Women's Clubs, recommends a business training as one of the essential branches in every woman's education. She says that she and her husband are partners in business, having invested their capital together. Mr. Brown attends to the investing of the funds Mrs. Brown takes care of the books, and can account for every penny spent since their marriage

How to Mix Lettuce.

Have your salad bowl, which is of course one sufficiently large to allow the salad a thorough tossing without sprinkling either the maker or the tablecloth, rubbed with onion, and the lettuce leaves, which have been carefully washed and thorocghly dried, brought to the table in it. It is veil to allow the lettuce to lie in ice water for an hour before you are ready to nse it, in order that it may be crisp and cold. Lettuce is one of the things which incorporates with great rapidity any substance with which it comes in contact, and consequently the flavor of the onion becomes a pleasing but uot predominant portion of the dressing.

To make dressing sufficient for from six to ten persous measure with your wooden or silver salad spoon six spoonfuls of oil, to be poured as you measure it upon the let •tuce and the leaves thoroughly tossed in it. Then dissolve in two saladspoonfuls of vinegar two saltspoonfuls of salt, pour over the leaves, and after another thorough tossing serve. The great secret of

French dressing is that, given in the proper proportion, each leaf shall be thoroughly moistened, and for this reason stress is laid upon the tossing and mixing in the bowl. Salad is served after the meat or game course.—Ladies' Home Journal.

Homemade Pets for Children. Dear to the hearts of children will be the Maltese cats and pugdogs made from printed cottons. The cats are as- large as life and more natural looking than the dogs. Each pattern has on it printed directions for making the animals, and all there is to do is to cut the different parts of the body out, following the stamped out lines, sew them together and fill them with ifotton. Unmade the cats cost five cents and the pugs three. If bought made up they cost much more.

Other toys not so serviceable, but which fascinate doll loving little maids, are wooden clothespins dressed in gowns, cloaks and hats of tissue paper. Tho head of the clothespin is painted for the face of the doll—that is, it is given eyes and brows, the outline of a nose and mouth, and color upon the cheeks. White cotton, astrakhan or some fuzzy black stuff is used for the wig, which is stuck on the head with mucilage. The dresses are as long as the prongs of the pin, and are made empire style, being banded high under the arms with a sash of paper. The arms of paper are concealed where they are fastened on by huge puff sleeves.

Tiny paper hats or large bonnets are set jauntily upon the head.—New York Post.

Neatness Is Necessary to Prettiness. Neatness is not only a good thing for a girl, but it is a very important thing. Girls all wish to look well, and it is expected of them to look pretty. The intricacies of their dress and the variety of colors worn make it imperative there be 110 appearance of neglect. Tho want of a hook or a button, the drop of the underskirt and the soil of garment or skin are sufficient to mar any amount of native prettiness. The hand, though white and well shaped, is' repulsive if it is no: immaculately clean and the taper fingers finished with well manicured nails, and so are well shaped feet, even in Cinderella proportioned shoes or in shoes that lack buttons. Fashion decrees and good sense indorses that a young woman must be tidy and trim its her dress, and to be this neatness is the first requirement. It is therefore essential that a part of every girl's training'should be the formation of habits of neatness, and that this training be early begiiJi. If a young woman's education in this particular has been neglected, she should begin at once to rectify the ssiistake in her rearing.—Baltimore

Itules of Dress for Young Girls. It seems to be a recognized rule that girls from two to eight shall wear long dress skirts. Above that age they are worn short to the knees, or just below, until twelve, when they are again lengthened. At sixteen they reach nearly to the floor. Girls of twelve still wear their dresses fastened in the back. If tall for that age the dress skirt may reach to the Bhoe top. Among sensible people comfortable dresses

which give full play'to all the muscles and

allow of the fullest development of the figure are considered in far better taste than those which are tightly fitted, perhaps over corsets. All wool undergarments, continuous frmn the neck the feet, are essential for health. Physicians now are very apt also to recommend all wool night robes to take the place of those during t.he day, the change from wool to cotton being considered too great.—Exchange.

American Women Need No English Advice. Jessie Bartlett-Davis is American to the core. Quite naturally, therefore, she does not take kindly to advice from English women. "Tin-, idea," uhe said the other day, "of Mrs. Kendal coming over here and telling us American wor/un huw to treat our husbands! I'd like Mrs. Kendal to understand that American women are the best wives the worjd kuuws anything about."

Mrs. Davis was making up for her part in "R*Jbin Hood" as she made this vigorous declaration, and she dabbed on a little more rouge its she spoke. "Guess my husband and I know how to get along without, English women's help. We don't go about telling how we can't be separated, but—we're all rightl" and Mrs. Davis trilled a few passages in her deepest tones.—New York Recorder.

The Value of Milk.

Milk is of universal use and peculiarly adapted to children and invalids because it contains in its normal condition a proper proportion of food elements in a palatable and easily digested form. 'ITaese are, under normal conditions: Fat, 3.7 per cont. sugar, 4.7 caseine, 3.3.

The casein represents the muscle forming and force giving element. Under some circumstances milk from which the cream has been removed msy be as valuable a food as whole milk. The sugar gives palatability and furnishes prominent carbonaceous element. The fat adds an easily assimilated carbonaceous element, very valuable tinder some circumstances to invalids, giving milk its value as a relish in coffee, on oatmeal or with dessert. It is also the most expensive element in milk.— Boston Transcript.

Artistic as Well Useful.

The round topped trunk has gone out of fashion for the reason, the manufacturer tells us, that the trunk has so often to be part of the furniture of the room. The flat'topped trunk may have an expensive or rich cover laid over the top, with a cushion beneath, and make an ornamental if somewhat elevated seat. The front and sides of the trunk may be hidden by a valance attached to the cushion. If not desired for a seat, a trunk that is not too large may be made to look like the treasure'ehest"of a prince by fitting to it a covering of dark velvet ornamented with bands of light colored leather applied with gold,copi|er and.silver threads.—Exchange.

"I have been using Sulvation Oil for backache, stiffness in the neck, and pain in the side and found it an excellent cure. I keep it constantly on hand.

Disease at the Rack Door.

Yes, it is the nasty habit of pitching out of the back door a pailful and dipperful, now and then, of greasy water, and a handful of parings and the general waste of the kitchen that breeds fevers and bilious diseases. The waste disappears for the most part in the soil, but that is the key to the mischief. The soil gets full after a time and ferments, and the hot sun breeds gases which surround and enter the house. This is true not only of the cheaper, poorer houses and careless families, but well to do, intelligent people have spots behind their houses saturated with slops. In populous towns no amount of supervision can prevent a great deal of filthy evil, but in the country towns slops should be carried out to trees and poured in small quantities here and there as fertilizer. Trees'will take up a large quantity of water and be grateful for it. There must be simply constant intelligence in the disposal of waste.—Farm Life.

"I always let a cold go as it conies"— one says which means that he overworks the system in getting rid of a cold rather than assist it by using Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.

Life Saving Humor.

There is

a

priest at Saratoff who is a

humorist, an it seems not improbable that his humor has saved his life. During the cliolcra riots his reverence was attacked by a mob, one of the leaders exclaiming, "That is the priest who buried me alive I have just risen from the grave." Although the people were crying "Stone him," the priest kept h.i 4 composure. "If yon have just risen," he inquired «,f his assailant, "-how is ifc that you are already drunk:''' The- answer is not recorded, but tho priest survived to tell Iho tale.—London. Globe.

The laws of health are taught in our schools but not in a way to be of much practical benefit and are never illustrated by living examples, which in many cases could easily be done. If some schoiar who had just contracted a cold was brought before the school, so that all could hfcar the dry loud cough, and know its significance see thu thin white coating on the tongue and later, as the cold developed, see the profuse watery expectoration and thin watery discharge from the nose, not one of them would ever forget what the first symptoms of a cold were. The scholar should then be given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely, that all might see that even "a severe cold could be cured in one or two days, or at least greatly mitigated when properly treat ed as soon as the first symptoms appear.

The bow has a groove on each end. A collar runs down inside the pendant (stem) and fits into the grooves, firmly locking the bow to the pendant, so that it cannot be pulled or twisted off.

It positively prevents the loss of the watch by theft, and avoids injury to it from dropping.

IT CAN ONLY BE HAD with Jas. Boss Filled or other watch cases bearing this trade mark AH watch dealers sell them without extra cost. Ask your jeweler for pamphlet, or send to the manufacturers.
