ADVICE OF ELDERS IN CHOOSING THE FRIENDS OF YOUTH I KW irtr

Some Useful Fur tl»e Ilomtmaker'n Guidance—HHit» For the Parlor ami Kitchen—The Kespousibillties

Which Rest Upon Mother*.

"It seems as if grandmamma could not find enough fault, with my friends," a young girl was heard complaining to her sister the other day, and grandmamma, not beyoad hearing, felt very sore and indignant ovt the unjust remark. Wliy had she fotsnd fault with the friends of her darling? Because she loved to pick a rose to pieces and throw its petals to the wind, or because she did not love the young girl and want her to be happy? Far from it. Her whole thought in the matter was love. Yet, for all that, perhaps her eye was not altogether single in the direction in which that love looked. For, i« the first place, she was moved by desire that her grandchild should ha^e about her the best companionship, and her anxiety that it should be the bwcVnadc her inspect and criticise and find fault, made her difficult to please, for what was there quite good enough for the occasion, and who was there to be fully trusted to do no harm of blight or tarnish to this opening flower of her hope?

And then, in the last place, it is not inir possible that a little jealonsy of the companion, who has possibly more beauty, or more talent, or more money, or more position, more of the world's advantages in general, perhaps even a prettier manner or a better temper, than her own young girl, made her look askant and speak bitterly, seeing in her own dear the demerit that only eyes made keen by jealous love are quick enough to see, but which only the tongue that champions a rival is sharp enough to announce. At any rate in either case it is love, even if love perverted. But is it not better for those of us who have reached the dignity of the elders, who are grandmothers and aunts, without actual responsibility and power to forbid, to remember that youth and years behold things from entirely different points of view?

If we look back over the intervening space of our own live«, we shall remember how ardently youth took everything in hand, how wo chose our friends, few out of many, for reasons surely appealing to ourselv es. and having chosen them, how we clung to them, confided in them, held«them as a part of us, felt censure of them as censure of us, not only as censure of our choice, but of all the life of ours, the thoughts, the feelings, the acts that had entered into it. We did not sympathize with that love for ns which would separate tlieso friends from us, and wo would have despised the jealous thought that saw the wrong side of these young friends who were the other half of our souls, as Horace has it, had we been aware of it.

Would it not be best, then, to reserve the fault finding from loud expression, to endeavor to improve the young companion uiuier our di spleasure, and if that is not possible, then to break up the uudesired companionship by long visits elsewhere of our own young girl, by journeyings and occupations or by bringing forward companions beyond reproach, whom the propinquity may make as dear as were the unilesired?—Harper's Bazar.

Tlio Problem of Servants Again. French housekeeping, too, has its trials, If we are to judge from some of the letters printed in the Paris Figaro. The young wife of ft doctor, who says that she goes out much, loves to dress, entertains often and "has been educated to think that 'order is the first law of heaven,' complains that the first five years of her married life were made unhappy by bad servants. "I could not tell," she says, "whether it was b.ul luck or incapacity on my part, but it was impossible to get along, with servants. Bad ones remained but a week, and good ones soon became spoiled. One day I called on the mother superior of the convent in which I was educated, and among the things 1 happened to speak of was the trouble to reconcile economy, my taste for society. my husband's profession and the keeping of order in tho house with bad service. 'Shall I tell you how to do it?' said the mother superior. 'There is only one way to obtain it you must have everything work with regulation. In our house everything runs like clockwork, and no one is allowed to break the rules of the system upon which things are done. Try it. Put the servants' occupations for every hour on paper. See that each one has a duty to perform at every stated hour. The first aim is to obviate all whims, all uncertainties, all orders badly given or badly understood and all other things prejudicial to a good nil ministration. For the first, month you must, rule with a rod of iron. At the least breaking of any of the injunctions you must point to the written regulations. Let no protest make you swerve, and when the habit of doing things is systematically formed you will be surprised to see how smoothly everything will run.' I followed tho advice and was surprised to see how admirably it worked."

A Mother** Reflections.

"It seems to me," said a woman lately, one whose sons ami daughters an1 grown and out in the world, "that if I had my children to bring tip over :ain I would give up everything and de\t« myself to each till he was 5 years old. What I did was to employ uurs s—what a travesty of the tenderly significant word!- -from infancy to about that time, when 1 looked after them myself, One of my children—lie is a married man now—cherishes still a most unreasonable fear of the dark, even of passing an open door of an unlighted apartment, because forsooth years ago in his babyhood a nurse urged him to sleep lost a wolf should come out of the dark and get him. "A second son will carry to his grave a nervous dread of laughing, born of a practice by another nurse of showing her large, white, glittering teeth in a mirthless grin when as an infant he fretted. I caught her at it one day and instantly sent her away, but tho mischief was done, and I have been helpless to coin Kit it. And my nurses were no worse than my neighbors'. "A child's caretaker should be a child lover, and who loves a child like his mother? I long to say to every young mother I know: •Stay vrith your k-ibus if you possibly can

until

they ar» big enough to know what is swing on about them, l/ct maids wait upon, assist you in supplying their needs, but let. no nurse have a chance to do them ignorant and life lasting harm.' Her Point of View in New York Times,

Every eye is gazinc upon her—not with impudence, oh, no! but sircply because the passengers Live nothing else to do, and the least thing concerning one passenger interests the others.

I wonder why sensible women—or at least they seem sensible in other things than dress—calmly submit to being made the victims of a fashion? Why have they not sufficient independence to •say: "I don't care if the fashion does demand that I hide my pocket in the folds of my skirt or else carry my ptarse in my hand at the risk of its being snatched from me. I will wear my clothes made in the most comfortable style and my pockets where I can reach them?"

Aye, when will they do this?—New York Herald. .. rvi

Notes on Towels.

The housewife who wishes to save her best kitchen towels will do well to provide a number of coarser towels made from twilled brown cotton crash to use about the stove and in handling pots and pans. The best towels for silver and china are of linen, either plaided or striped. It is best not to bny the heaviest quality, as it is some time before they become pliable enough to absorb water readily. A fine quality of Russian crash is durable and much liked for other kitchen towels. For kitchen hand towels, a good quality of cotton and linen is pleasanter to the hands and dries them better than the coarser qualities of Russian crash.

Of bed and bathroom towels the variety is so great as to prove quite bewildering. Damask towels are more pleasing to the eye than useful, though every housekeeper buys them for her towel rack, to divide the honor with those of fine birdseye linen. A good quality of huckabuck is, however, preferred for ordinary use by those who like a towel that absorb the water quickly and gently stimulates the skin. Those with hemstitched are liked better than those with fringed edges. For the bathroom there are very rough and large Russian towels, the Turkish towels of many qualities and most reasonable in price, the imperial towels, which take up the water almost as readily as a sponge, and towels made from linen tape.—New York Post.

A Convenient Kitchen Essential. There are many houses that have not sufficient storage space for the articles in regular use, and as a natural consequence the back door and yard are fringed with utensils, boxes, barrels and rubbish of various sorts, all necessary to have at hi.nd, but for which there is no suitable provision iiltl:-» way of putting-away places. It war.1.1 1 a matter of decided economy in time ar.d strength, if not absolute cash, to build either a commodious extension or provide a detached building adjacent to the licv. for such a purpose. Shelves, pantricn, hooks and racks should be arranged, and each shoind have its allotted place, with an imperative requirement that it always be found there.

There ai-e many houses where the space is so contracted that one must carry up stairs or dawn the cellar many of the articles in common use, and there is no more killing work for the housekeeper than this. No one who has not tried it- can imagine the tax on the strength and the addition to the burden of life which is imposed by this lack of convenience. Of course, it may bo said that with limited means one can not make the necessary provision in building, but this is nbt in any sense a valid excuse. At least something should be done to save steps for the housekeeper, who is in many instances the mother of the family and does her work without assistance.—New York Ledger.

Youth Has Had Its Day.

Never till the present time had woman such a golden opportunity for revealing, as Voltaire remarks, in tho decline of her beauty the charm of her .intellect. Never was the sphere of middle aged woman wider. We have abolished the generic term of "old maid" and substituted that of the woman "with rights," "with a mission," "with work." Taine marveled over the numbers of unmarried women he found in tho quiet provincial towns and in the dull country neighborhoods of England. We do not waste them in convents wo use them in philanthropy, education, politics, art and even, in a left handed way, the church, whereunto modern dress assists.

We have abolished the ringlets and white muslin and bluo ribbons sacred to maidenhood, ns well as the caps of middle ages. These latter, thanks to the advances made by the artist in hair, will soon become as extinct as the turbans our grandmothers wore at the Georgiau jubilee. Bonnets will probably share the same fate, for bats are simultaneously worn by three generations. Mothers and daughters drees alike, aiming not at maintaining an appearance of perennial youth, but of preserving that of an eternal middle age,—Hearth and Home.

In Fashionable Drawing Kooms. The fashionable drawing room today is verv far removed indeed from the crowded, omat-j affair of a dozen years ago, when decoration ran rampant iu a thousand devices, and the tables and chairs were crowded so thickly together that it was almost impossible to move about tho room without knocking something over. Now the arrangement is classical and somewhat stiff, and the sociable aspect is tempered with a sort of formality which suggests one's newest clothes and best behavior. It must be admitted, however, that the lounging manners of the youths of the period are hardlv in keeping with the gilded entourage of a Louis XVII salon, which would seem to suggest the courtly graces of a bygone age.

Our women, on the other hand, with a finer perception, have noticeably adapted themselves more or less to their surroundings. The ever graceful court*y has been revived, and there is much more of gracious charm and dignified urbanity of late, the somewhat, blunt although hearty manners of the "English school" which were fashionable some years ago having almost entirely disappeared.—Chicago Tribune.

The Wife of Rider liagfard. In appearance Mrs. Haggard is charming. She has clear cut features, a strong, self reliant mouth, large, expressive brown eyes and an abundance of dark brown hair. She is above the medium height, with the strong, graceful figure that belongs to healthy, rigorous womanhood. Her personality is quite as interesting as is that of her well knowT? husband, whose strong, square forehead, firm lips and clear, deep eyes impress you with I heir owner's strength and originality. In stature Mr. Haggard i* tall and erect, his voice low and melodious. Me has been described as blond ami athletic gentleman." While at Ditch ingh&tn he is want to appear in Jacket

Fried Mush.

Cut the mush in slices about half an inch In thickness, or thinner if desired sach slice carefully with flour. Put abjlp two tablespoonfuls of lard in r. shallow frying pan. Place over the fire, and when smoking hot drop in the mush. Do not disturb it, but allow it to fry brown on one side, then turn and brown on the other. Remove, place on a piece of brown paper for just a moment, dish and serve. It requires a deal more trouble to put the fat in than to keep it out, and one point to fye remembered is to have the fat hot before' the mush goes in fry quickly and take it out. If the fat runs short before the frying is done, pull the pan aside until tho mush is brown. You must not add fresh cold lard while there is mush in the pan.—Mrs. Rorer in Table Talk.

Protect Your Guests.

Mothers, one and all, if you desire your little sons and daughters to be popular with the adult guests who visit your house, take warning do not let them swoop down upon your friends directly they en£er your house and continue to be in evidence during the entire period of their stay. It may sound cruel and unkind, but it will pay in the end, for, no matter how kind hearted a man or gushing a woman may be, they will very soon tire of a course of infantile conversation, attentions and pastimes, aiid in order to keep your friends you must let them see the children only at such rare intervals that they will learn to appreciate their society.—Philadelphia Times.

Began Writing Early In Life. Sir Morell Mackenzie, the great specialist, had strong theories on the subject of women being qualified to earn their own living, and educated each of his daughters with a view to their being able to follow a profession. The eldest daughter, now Mrs. McKerma, having a taste for literature, began to write regularly for publication when 18, and shortly after became a permanent correspondent. Mrs. McKenna has worked hard and steadily since she began to write, at first under the personal supervision of her father, by no means renouncing her work since her marriage.

A Beautiful Princess.

The most beautiful unmarried young princess in Europe is the youngest daughter of the king of the Belgians, the Princess Clementina. She is 22, very tall, has dark hair ana eyes and carries herself like a queen. The suicide of her favorite broth-er-in-law, the Archduke Rudolph, and the death of Prince Baudouin of Flanders, who had been mentioned as her possible husband, have combined to impress her with the feeling that she should spend her days in the retirement of a convent.—Paris Letter. _______

.Javclle Water.

Javelle water, used for turning white the dirtiest linen and removing stains, is composed of bicarbonate of soda, four pounds chloride of lime, one pound. Put the soda into a kettle over the fire, add one galion of boiling water, let it boil from 10 to 15 minutes, then stir in the chloride of lime, avoiding lumps. Use when cool. This is good for removing fruit stains from white underwear.

Towels, sheets and pillowcases are now frequently given for wedding presents. They are hemstitched, marked with the initial or monogram, and laid in a box with a pretty linen sachet filled with lavender.

Queen. Elizabeth, Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale and Charlotte Corday have been instanced to support the assertion that the women who have been greatest in history have, as a rule, been unmarried.

Calls are not suitable occasions for an interchange of grave or carefully formulated opinions, and calls should not be extended beyond 15 minutes unless the guest is assisting with the tea.

Educating a Boy.

In Montaigne's eyes the object of edui tion is to form a boy's character and prepare him for life, and to fill him not so much with learning as with the desire of learning, "with au honest curiosity for information about everything." This sounds perhaps obvious and commonplace, but the seed which Montaigne sowed three centt® ries ago, has, it must be confessed, fallen on stony ground. There area large nunST bcr of persons concerned with educatiorrfat the present day who, if they have equipped a boy with a sufficient stock of learning to enable him to pass an examination, fold their hands and think that they have done all that is needful. I will quote two aphorisms which Montaigne has left us, "Every abridgment of a good book is a foolish abridgment," and "Learning in one man's hand is a scepter in another's, a bauble."-p,-Macmillan's Magazine.

HY THE GENTLE SEX IS HAPPIER NATURALLY THAN MEN.

ley Have .Greater Power of Resistance. An Average High Development of Their Esthetic Sensibilities Leads Them to .Find Pleasure in Many Ways.

Why are women, as a rule, happier than men? First, because they have a greater power of resistance. Physically there is no longer any question among scientists that the female organism withstands unfavorable environment better than the male. During pestilence and epidemics moitef males die than females. A woman can endure a longer and severer nervous strain than a man. It is significant to note how much ^better a woman can bear any kind of pain than a man. The lord of creation moans and writhes when he has a toothache, while a woman bears in white, calm silence such a lacking and rending of the whole nervous system as would in all probability drive a toan either to suicide or distraction. j. The same superior power of resistance may be noted in woman's mental and moral organization. Women can endure a stress of temptation which would prostrate jjjaen in squads like so many tin soldiers in a gust of wind. They can also endure mental strains which would wear out the patience if not the brain tissue of a man in half the time. Woman has a will power which is simply magnificent. Her mental and moral energy seem to gush and bubble from unseen and inexhausible springs of vitality. Woman, both physically and mentally, has a reactionary power which the opposite sex, except in rare instances, is unable to command. The salient characteristic of man's mental and physical force is its quantity whereas the salient charac|teristic of woman's is its quality. And "quality dominates quantity always.

Now this power of resistance on woman's part is a great advantage to her in the attainment of happiness. It enables her to throw off or rise superior to little miseries and worries which fret all the vivacity out of a man. A woman can be cheerful under circumstances which would make a man misanthropic. This difference of organization, and consequent difference of disposition, comcs out in a thousand little ways. It is simply a. difference in the power of re sistance, and if you- follow this power one into particulars you will find that it makes a world of difference in the matter of comparative happiness.

In the second place, woman's superior capacity for happiness is due to the average high development of her 83sthetic sensibilities. Women get a world of enjoyment out of such things Vis music, flowers, the colors and textures of fabrics, dclicate handiwork, dress, adornment, pictures, bric-a-brao and a multitude of things of this nature which the average "practical" man pretends to despise. And this enjoyment of beautiful things is one of the purest and healthfulest kind. It increases the natural refinement, the delicacy of perception, the humanizing influence of the female sex.

It may not rise to artistic talent, or even in some instances to thoroughly artistic appreciation, but it is an elevating, ennobling, cheering, brightening influence in the home life and in society, without which this world would be glum and unlovely enough. The love of the beautiful permeates the gentler sex as a vein of gold runs through a stratum of rock, adding its brightness and beauty to the whole character. It would be very strange if this natural and characteristic development of the cesthetic sense in woman did not add greatly to her capacity for the highest and purest kind of happiness.

Again, the natural buoyancy and vivacity of woman's nature increases her capacity for happiness. This I suppose to be the result of the fineness and responsiveness of her nervous organism. At all events no one can fail to remark the liveliness, the sparkle, the vivacity of women, especially young women. Man is a morose animal compared with his consort. Who has not noticed that most men work silently,whoreas most women, where it is permissible, sing at their work? When you see a bevy of girls together you always expect to liea~ them laughing. With boys it is different. They are quite as likely to be planning, arguing or quarreling. And the distinction holds through life. Man as a rule is serious and overcast woman is cheerful and sunshiny. It is a matter of organism, of disposition, of inbred characteristic. And the sunshiny disposition would surely seem to be the one most likely to increase its possessor's capacity for happiness.

Finally, take them on the average, women are more highly developed on the spiritual side than men. And as the spiritual life is tho sourco of the supremest joy which mankind can know, is it notreason. le to claim that woman's capacity for happiness exceeds m^n's in proportion to her clearer apprehension and more devout appreciation cu' things which are divine and eternal? Woman's religious faith is her heart's dearest treasure. SJie finds immeasurable resources of joy and comfort in her belief in heaven, immortality, the survival of all precious earthly ties and companionships, the endurance beyond the grave of all that is lovely and worthy here, and the revelation of beatific realities of which the present life can give us only the merest hints and suggestions.

So that if a woman were deprived of all other sources of happiness save this alone, she would still be able to live a life of such transcendent brightness and hopefulness that all the grosser, more tangible pleasures of earth would be like a child's discarded toys compared with the shining visions and ideals of the child when she is blossoming out of maidenhood into womanhood.

Had woman but the single advantage oyer man of her more quickened and highly developed spiritual nature, it would be enough to establish for her the claim of a capacity for happiness which could never be equaled on man's part save by an equivalent quickening and enriching of the higher life of the soul.—Paul Pastnor in Detroit Free Press.

Countess of Aberdeen.

The Countess of Aberdeen spent much of her youth on her father's highland estate of Goischan. It was in these days that she made friends with her father's guest, Mr. Gladstone. Mounted on ha* little *pony she often accompanied him on his rides, and he talked kindly to the bright little girlsometimes concerning principles and people that some statesmen would have thought quite removed from the interest of so young a creatnre. But time Jesses quickly, and when, in 1877, Isabel Majoribanks became the Countess of Ab&tleen, those early conversations and the personal Influence they established had secured for Mr. Gladstone an influential and enthusiastic adherent In the popular yoang peeress.

One day Nora canio tip stairs and said, "Babykins, do you want to coniedown into the kitchen and help niu cook?"

Babykins did, so Norn, carried him down and put him. in his high chair at one end of the kitchen table. -Nora was making pies. Babykins wanted the rolling pin. so she gave it to him.

Babykins rolled it backward and forward. "Why, you are a fine little cook," said Nora. "A cap is all you want."

Nora took an empty paper bag and put it on Babykins' head. Babykins was pleased. Then she sprinkled some sugar on the table, and Babykins rolled it with the rolling pin.

Every now and then Babykins stopped to eat some. After he had eaten a little he would roll again with the rolling pin. "What are you making now, Babykins?" asked Nora. "Kisses," said Babykins. "I want to know," said Nora. "Well, you must give me the recipe for your kisses, Babykins.Babyland.

Kitchen Soap Por the Hair.

For washing the hair, particularly such as is inclined to be oily, nothing is better than the common hard soap of the kitchen. A woman who has xised it frequently herself, and seen its benefits tested in other cases, prescribes it with strong faith. "Make a strong suds," she says "rub it quickly on the hair and wash it off again at once. After it hat any scented soap or wash may be used in the way of au ordinary shampoo."

An English maid, who is famed for the care of her mistress' hair, may be taken in further testimony of the same article, as the only wash she used is soapsuds thickened "with a tenspoonful of glycerin and the white of an egg. Undoubtedly women wast6 money in expensive hair beautifiers and preservers. Simple means right to one's hand are quite as effective. The pulp of a lemonfTor instance, rubbed on the roots of the hair will stop ordinary cases of falling out.—Her Point of View in New York Times,^.
