WOMAN AND HOME.

PLAIN TALK CONCERNING THE SCIENCE OF HEALTH.

The Heating of Houses—A Case of Spoiled Girl—Lowell's Second Wife—A Timely Question for Slot hers—Directing: the

Natural Lore of Finery.

The house that the soul inhabits was intended to be strong, useful and beautiful. When the Creator placed Eve beside Adam (not on a pedestal above him or on a footstool beneath hira) he no more intended that she should -be a sickly, nervous, narrow waisted, troubled faced weakling than that Adam should be so. Both of them were pronounced "very good," a verdict which could not truthfully be given upon the physical health of the majority of civilized women today. How have we fallen from our high estate? Simply and solely through ignorance.

Many of us do not know how to prevent disease, and wo do not care to learn. We fight off pain aud sickness by the drug habit, which some writer has said is the modern equivalent of the ancient compact with the devil. Just as men were fabled tc purchase immunity from care by selling their souls to tho devil, so the modern feminine bundle of nerves buys exemption from pain by the daily use of drugs. But we are not intended to suffer pain—wewere never meant to be diseased. It is true that our bodies are often poor enough to begin with.

We inherit asthma or boils or consumption or debility or a disease beginning with some other letter of the alphabet, but this affliction is not sent to teach us resignation—it is sent to teach us determination. Health is a science just as much as astronomy and algebra are, and its principles can be mastered by study and practice. It is sheer ignorance to suppose that a bottle of bitters will make amends for over indulgence in a box of sweets, that a dose of pills will undo the evil of overeating, or that a day spent in dawdling will offset the injury of a night spent in dancing.

The best housekeeper to take entire charge of our tenement of clay is Mother Nature, and, like all other housekeepers, she is very partial to tho virtue of cleanliness. Dr. Willard Parker says that "women make themselves portable machines for effete mat ter. Their nerves cry out when fed by dirty blood, and the cry is called neuralgia."

Breathe clear air from morning to night, and from night to morning again, and you will be rewarded with a ligiuness of spirit that the largest drugstore is powerless to bestow. Eat clean food—food that is not greasy nor spicy nor hard of digestion—and you will be nourished and made strong by the only genuine blood purifier in the market. Bathe in clean water every day, and note tho elevating and tranquillizing effect it has on tho mind.

Think clean thoughts, aud the body as well as the soul will seem to be matefeilow with the angels.—Wives and Daughters.

The Mcating of Houses.

The question of proper temperature for sittiug and sleeping rooms depends upon a number of circumstances. To lay down an ironclad rule and expect it to fit all cases is absurd. The rule in a recent article that no room should be kept heated beyond a temperature of 08 degs. is a most excellent one—for some people. Ice cold baths are also absolutely necessary for continued good health—with some people. But it happens in this world that while the temperature of one house is di fferent. from that of others it is because tho temperament of one individual fs different from that of others. At least this is generally the reason. Of course the necessity for pure air cannot be overstated. It is in fact our life. But tho fact should not be lost sight of that cold air is not necessarily pure air. Consequently the practice of opening up a warm room to let the coldest air of the winter rush through it like a blast from the north pole is by no means as healthy as it may seem to "pure air" enthusiasts. Most of the colds, coughs and pulmonary troubles of all sorts are caused by sudden changes in temperature, and hence it is desirable to avoid these sudden changes.

The best way to do this, and at the same time pay proper attention to the purity of the atmosphere which is to be taken into the lungs, is to regulate the temperature of the room by means of a thermometer These are so cheap nowadays that even the most economical can afford one or more, and in fact one in winter is the most economical investment that can lie made. If an open fireplace is used very little other ventilat ion is necessary. If a closed stove is the heater then the room should be ventilated some hour during the twenty-four when it is not occupied, and by ventilation is not mear.t. refrigeration. Carefui atten tion to these details may seem a little troublesome, but immunity from customary winter complaints will amply repay all the time and attention devoted to them.—Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Case of Spoiled Girl.

Possibly it would not be believed unless it were seen that the following letter could have been written by a beautiful Hack Bay girl from Paris to her father, who pretend* to laugh at the postscript, although he asks grimly, "What's all this written in poetry for about- daughters' devotion to their dads —toll me that?" It must be added that this letter was written after this particular example of luxurious daughter had been absent in Paris for three months without having found time to write to her father. She is abroad with her grandmamma, wl.i. writes the letters, and has just been joined by her aunt, who took her a message to "write to papa." This is tho way she rose to the occasion:

OSAN PA PA—I can't find any pen, eo I must writ© with a pencil, and 1 hope you can read it. My aunt is here, and w® aro awfully glad to sec her. I havt been talking to her about a ring, and she approves of my having it. It is a duster of clear diamonds and is a beauty. She will lend me the money until the draft come? from you. Now please don't delay sending it. 1 think yon had better send it to the banker's. Iam going out shopping, so must saygoodby. Lots of love. Your daughter, CAROUSE.

P. S.—I am sure you will like the ring. In America It would cost twice as much, for it is very large.

All luxurious American daughters may apply the lesson. Meantime American fathers of little girls must, turn over new leaves or they will all fi»d themselves some fine day confronted by beautiful and stylish voung "women capable of writing from a ioreign land a penciled postscript "I think you will like the ring." by way of expres sion of daughterly love. In this particular CJVSO the poor, downtrodden parent —a mar. wi«e in the councils of his city-was so de lighted to sec even scrap of bis absent krirl's handwriting that he sat and doted upon the half blank pages with glistening eyes, and took the letter fartmly from his oocket half a dozen time®

oa a

political meeting, where he made a powerful speech, saying among other good things, "The American home and the

American family, as they exist today, are the bulwarks of our republic and the chiei reason for its hope of life among the nations of the earth."—Boston Transcript.

The Poet Lowell's Second Wife. I do not remember and have no record ol the time when I.owell married his second wife, Frances Dunlap, but the revolution she brought about in his life had begun before his friends new the causes of it. She was one of the rarest and most sympathetic creatures I have ever known. .She was the governess of Lowell's daughter when I first went to stay at Elm wood, and I then felt the charm of her character. She was a sincere Swedenborgian, with the serene faith and spiritual outlook I hare generally found to be characteristic of that sect with a warmth of spiritual sympathy of which I have never known another instance a fine and subtle faculty of appreciation, serious and tender, which was to Lowell like an infolding of the divine spirit. .The only particular in which the sympathy failed was in the feeling that she had in regard to his humorous poems. She disliked the vein. It was not that she lacked humor or the appreciation of his, but she thought that kind of literature unworthy of him. This she said to me more than once. But aside from this she fitted him like the air around him. He had felt the charm of her character before he weut to Europe, and had begun to bend to it but, ns he said to me after his marriage, he would make r.o sign till he had tested by a prolonged absence the solidity of the feeling he had felt growing up. He waited, therefore, till his visit to Germany had satisfied him that it. was sympathy and not propinquity that lay at the root of his inclination for her before declaring himself.

No married life could be more fortunate in all respects except one—they had no children. But for all that his life required she wiis to him healing from sorrow and a defense against all trouble, a very spring of life and hope.—W. J. Stillman in Atlantic.

A Timely Question for Mothers. In these days when little folks are releigated to the care of paid nurses for at least twenty-one out of every twenty-four hours, and the pretty woman who shows off the baby to visitors or who runs in occasionally to take a peep at it in the nursery appears to be only its mother in name, the question ar|pes, Are the women of today less motherly in the true sense of the word, or is it only because the altered living, the luxury of these fin de siecle days, requires a different demeanor, yet which is only the superficial veneer over the true, sweet heart of noble womanhood!'

Our women are so progressive, there are so many interests nowadays that formerly were not entered into by women that home life and home duties sometimes appear slighted, and we wonder if the children growing up in a circle where "mother" is but an occasional visitor will not come to regard the member of the numerous soci eties or the gay butterfly whose whole aim is the attending of teas, receptions, balls and dinners, as such an utter stranger that little confidences will be given elsewhere, sorrows sobbed out into other ears, and the great wealth of love that should be kept for that dearest one on earth divided up or scattered about, among those who have more time to bestow upon the neglected children of a mother who is wrapped up in social or public obligations.

Perhaps mothers are just as motherly as in the olden days when "the children" were the beginning and end of every hope and every ambition, but if they are the distinctive tenderness and all absorbing love in many cases remain skillfully hidden by the whirling rush of their outside obligations. —Jenness Miller Illustrated.

Directing the Natural tove of Finery. "Margery, run and fetch your beautifui new dancing dress to show to Tante," said a fond mamma to her midget of six, whe trotted off to return an instant later carrying a billowy concoction of silk and lace. "Isn't that lovely? And won't my girl look too sweet in it for anything?" th( mother continued, shaking out the tin frock, while Margery stood looking on delightedly. "Are you not afraid of making that child vain?" suggested the visitor, whose conventional ideas were rather shocked at such open admiration. "Not at all," answered the other "that is just my theory I like her to care for dress. We all do, for that, matt er, so why not treat it as a matter of course? Besides her things give me a great deal of trouble and 1 want hei to appreciate them. "You love your clothes, don't you, sweet heart?" she went on, turning to the child "and you are much obliged to mother foi getting you such lovely dresses, and you like to look pretty for papa, and you car. dance better aud behave better, too, can you not., when you have on your beautiful pink and blue frocks? "According to my ideas," continued this new mother in Israal more seriously, "it Lfeminine and right to love needlework and fine raiment, and I think it is a great mistake not to direct a little girl's natural love for clothes instead of trying to suppress it. It is a womanly instinct to love pretty things and to makes one's self as attractive as possible, and 1 want my daughter tc think of it in that way, and as beiug only natural and light and one of the prerogatives of her sex."—New York Tribune.

A Japanese Tearoom.

In one of the city homes a small reception hall decorated in .Japanese style is used as a tearoom. A large umbrella is hung from the center of the ceiling, almost covering the space. The walls are draped with china silk in subdued tone and conventional pattern.

The floor^ covered with matting in Japanese convent ional design, had one rug before the bamboo lounge. The pillows, piled high upon the lounge, were covered with Japanese embroidery and china silk in conventional design. Between the tearoom and the reception room were black curtains with the great awkward Japanese birds flying across them.

The tea table was of bamboo the tea set came straight from the land of the mikado. Doilies and tea cloth embroidered in the Japanese national flower, the chrysanthemum. One panel of apple blossoms painted in Japan and a group of fans formed the sole decoration of the walls. Pictures do not look well on hangings. Chrysanthemums in quaint jars were the flowers used.

At an afternoon tea the hostess received In a kimono of palest gray crape, with sash (or obi) and folds at the neck of pale rose. Two little girls in gay figured kimonos served tea. —Edna McElravy in Home Maker.

Women of Greece.

Women in Greece devote much thought to the moral regeneration of criminals, and there are Christian asters who make this their special mission. The queen of Greece herself is at the head of the association not as a mere ornamental patron, but as directing force and an indefatigable share in the labors of the sisterhood. All the in mates of the Athenian prisons, as well as the condemned, are constantly visit/d by the queen herself and her associates in vh?

private and individual manner peculiar tc the movement. After religious instruction is over ench lady retires to the room set apart for her use*and the men are brought to her one by one for private conversation, which may be contiuued as long as she finds it ueces.s::ry. She sees them quite alone, a point on which great stress is laid, as it is held that in no country is a prisoner likely to open his heart or speak the truth in the presence of an officer to whose fixed authority he is entirely subject.—Blackwood's Magazine.

Obsolete Bridal Customs.

There was a certain old custom which, unluckily for the brides of today, has fallen into disuse. In old times it was incumbent upon the bridegroom to place quite a sum of money in a purse on the wedding night and present it to the bride. Afterward this was done the following morning, and the gift was callcd the dow purse. Another phase of the same thing existed in, Cumberland, where the bridegroom provided himself with gold and crown pieces. At the words, "With all my worldly goods I thee endow," he gave the clergyman his fee and poured the rest of the money into the handkerchief which the bride held out.

In other places it was the custom on the day following the marriage'for the bride to ask her husband for a gift of money or property, and he was bound in honor to grant her request. All these delightful customs—from the bride's point of view— have been so frowned upon by poor and penurious bridegrooms that they have been completely buried.—Chicago Herald.

An Artist's Method of Making Coffee. I met a friend last evening wrestling with the bust of Caligula, and he invited me to his room to sip some coffee. The coffee having such an excellent flavor, I asked him his recipe for making it. "The pouring of the cream is where the whole secret lies," he said. "When I make it I put the coffee in the pot containing a little cold water and let it boil. Never pour boiling water on dry coffee it kills it. When it has boiled enough, add sufficient water to weaken it now arrange your cups, take the coffee pot in one hand and the cream pitcher in the other and pour slowly together into the cups. This allows both liquids to mix thoroughly and the result is perfect. Some people boil the cream with the coffee, but this is wrong, for the cream loses its sweetness in boiling." If the mixing of the crea.n and coffee resulted in such a delicious beverage as we sipped, I invite all coffee drinkers to try it.—Hartford Post.

Have the Nursery Bright and Cheerful. Babies are quick to notice beauty. It need not be of the highest, artistic type, but a bright carpet, some pictures representing events in child e, a sunny room, where the furniture is wliole and clean—in fact, a bright and cheerful nursery will leave its pleasant impression on the childish mind long after the occupant has passed through its portals to do battle with the great world lying beyond, and will be the cornerstone of many pleasant memories whereas the many prisonlike dens which pass for nurseries will never be tl\ought of save with feelings of dislike, for first impressions even iri small children are the ones to last the longest, and the early surroundings are bound to make their mark on the minds that are at that time in their most receptive state.— St. Louis Republic.

A Woman in a Mexican Cauip. Mrs. John Rose Magruder, a daughter of the late Henry D. Cooke, the banker, has made her home for the last ten years in Mexico, where her husband has mining interests. During .the greater portion of the time she is the only woman in camp, and on this account, as well as in order to be of aid in case of illness, she has acquired considerable knowledge of medicine. A clever device adopted to show the ignorant native women when certain powders or pills should be administered was to make a little sketch of the country in that immediate vicinity and mark off on the mountainside the different stages of the sun from early morning to evening at which the medicine was to be administered.—Kate Field's Washington.

A Jolly Game for an Evening Party. A good "paper and pencil game" is Illustrated Proverbs. Each player draws a picture illustrating some proverb he passes it to his ueighbor, who writes what he thinks the sketch may mean, then turns down the picture and passes on the paper. The next one reads the proverb, makes an illustration of it, and passes it on, first turning down the proverb and leaving only his own sketch to be seen, and so on until each player has had all the papers, which are then exhibited. It is not nccessary at all that the players should know how to draw, for the more crude the sketches the more amusing is the game.—Cincinnati Knquiror.

A Stained Glass Window.

"Put a stained glass window in the children's playroom," advised a friend to woman planning a coming home. "From the baby up it will be a source of the greatest delight to the little people. I discovered that quite by chance in renting a house with one in tny own bedroom. My baby, who was fretful from teething that winter, would go to sleep much quicker in my room than in his own, and when I remarked upon it the nurse told me it was because the bright window interested and finally quieted him. I soon saw that it was BO. All children love pictures and gay colors."—New York Times.

Inexpensive Cases for Gloves. Linen glove cases, which are simply a fold of linen long enough for the long gloves, are buttonholed all around and have "Gloves" embroidered on the outside fold, with small flower sprays in scattering design at each side. They inclose a loose lining of silver paper and a small envelope sachet—Exchange.

RAINY DAY DKESSES.

SENSIBLE ADVICE ON WOMAN'S WET WEATHER COSTUMES.

Th.»vo Is No Reason, if a Woman Is Indep«udeiit Enough, Why She Should Look Like a Fright Every Time She Goes Out in a Storm—Several Suggestions.

Some earnest student of human nature once said that the most melancholy siglit in the world was to see a fat man with a boil on his neck trying to flirt with a girl in a fourth story window, but for real downright sadness a woman on a wet day distances all competitors. The average woman in a rainstorm is a sight to shudier at, for, however neat and pretty she may be on ordinary occasions, demoralization seems to set in as the rain begins to fall, and the result is a weird and awful appearance that would make a man cross the street to avoid meeting his own wife. Of course this all applies to the average everyday woman, who does not make a practice of taking a cab home when she feels the first warning spatter—a custom, by the way, which is much more commendable,. though perhaps expensive, than straggling around trying to manage parcels, purse, umbrella and dress skirt.

Observe the average woman on a rainy day ut the big bridge en trance, for instance, as she fumbles in her pocketbook for ticket or change, and if ye have tears prepare to shed them. Her hat is awry, but she knows it not. In one. hand a portion of her dress skirt is hitched, while another portion has been gathering up the mud, as has the portion of one white lace trimmed skirt which, bedraggled and torn, flap* against her shoes, leaving them muddy and unsightly. Her right hand holds an umbrella as well as her skirt her left fumbles in her pocketbook, while her other, as Sir Henry Boyle would say, endeavors to straighten her hat, fix a hairpin in her bang and do a few other things just vis important. Her face is set and hard looking and there is a wild glitter in her eye. From her appearance one might judge that she was a female communist or a shoplifter, or that she is possessed of what in literary circles is known as a "jag." But this woman is a respected member of society, a church member, a King's Daughter, the head of a happy home and an admirer of Browning and Isben. But shedoesn't look it a little hit.

It is all owing to the attire which ordinarily sane women persist in wearing on rainy days, making no distinction whatever between sunshiny, clear weather and that which is sloppy and "demnition damp, moist and uncomfortable." In these days when woman is "advancing" to such an extent that the tyrant man must needs step lively to keep pace with her it would be well if she would take a pause in debating such subjects as "How to Manage a Husband" and "The Final Extinction of Man," and earnestly discuss "Why Do Women Look Like Such Guys on a Rainy Day?" Then they would commence to realize where they were at in much shorter time than through a century of "talks" on vague and faroff questions. There is no need for lovely woman to make herself look like a fright because she is going out in the rain, but neither is their any law, human or divine, which countenances her going about looking like a bedraggled hen.

Evetjjr woman should have in her wardrobe one or two "rainy day" gowns—that is, one or two dark light weight dresses that' have outworn better uses, and that ordinarily would be handed over to the maid or the laundress. Take the skirt of such a gown and denude it of all trimming, then shorten it with a liberal hand—as the cookbooks say. Don't be too modest about cutting away all that last foot of material that gets so deeply, darkly, beautifully muddy when the streets are sloppy, It is much better to walk abroad in a gown that shows the tops of your shoes, if necessary, than to walk along blissfully unconscious, with dress skirt and petticoats hitched up to your knee on one side, while the other side trails ingloriously in the mire. You must wear a short, dark petticoat under this black stockings and good stout boots.

Many women cannot wear overshoes, and if your pocketbook admits of a pair of boots made to order by a good maker foi rainy weather use they will be found much more satisfactory and comfortable than the "rubbers" that so often are more bother than help. Now, if you are addicted to the mackintosh, you may wear one over this, as they are made up in very jaunty styles, but every woman knows how hot, heavy and perspiring rubber coats—even idealized rubber coats—are. Except in veryviolent rainstorms a short jacket which leaves the arms free will be more convenient. Women who affect stained glass effects as to costume and brown pottery coiffures would do well to leave both at home on rainy days. Frouzy hair gets out of frouzc and looks unkept and witchlike "picture" hats get crooked plumes wilt, and artistic neck garnitures droop in most unbecoming style under the influence of dampness. Braid your hair up snugly under a little English tourist hat or a sailor, either glazed or felt.

Wear a veil—not. a cloud of gauze, but a sensible veil that will keep your hair in trim though the wind blows a hurricane. You can have a bit of white linen show at your neck if you wish or a trim mackintosh buttoned snugly across produces a neat effect. The short skirt idea may strike you as rather shocking at first, but try it and you will find it not half bad in wet weather. Robed like this a woman can keep trim and neat through the rain, and will never, look like such a fright that her husband will sneak down aside street to avoid greeting her. A bright Brooklyn woman has invented a sensible waterproof garment called the "duck's back waterproof," but every woman does not like these rubber garments, and for such why not adopt- a homemade rainy weather suit?—New York Herald.

A Fact That Will Jiot Down. It is not in the least necessary to squeeze the breath out of one's body in order to look well. If a woman weighs 175 pounds it is the greatest mistalfer to attempt to dispose of the flesh. Pressed in at one portion of the body it is sure to protrude in another, and as long as it is there there is very little use to try to disguise it. A 26-inch waist Irith a 43-inch bust doesn't come within the range of good Dame Nature's Idea of proportion. A well built waist, of what is substituted by many ladies, a corset with a part of the bones removed, may be made a

very

comfortable affair. It should not be very tight. Indeed this is exactly where many women make a serious Ibnistake, Don't do it, girls. If you are fat, the too solid flesh ramaius. and you only make yourself absurd trying to lace it out of its natural position.—New York Ledger.

The Uws of health are taught in our schools: tmt not tu a way to be of much practical benefit ana are never illustrated by living examples, which in many cases could easily bo done. If some schoiar who had just, contracted a cold was brought t»-fore the school, so that all could hear the dry loud cough, and know its significance see the thin white coating on the tongue and later, as the cold nevelopes, 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 he given OhamDerlain'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 treated as soon as the first symptoms appear.
