Healthful Foot!--Illnts For Mother*.

The only way to make cooking, clcanin. and tilt! other forms of housework respectable is to have this l.ilwr performed by re spected people, Kducation or training i.' the first step i:i raising a workman in esteem. We ought to profit by the history of the trained nurses. A friend of mine visiting in Ottawa a few years ago was rather surprised to meet at various social assemblies a trainrd

nurse

who, as the gaest

of Lady !,., was the bcrrineof the hour. Knowing that the Ku«lish are hot woat tc treat governesses

other cultivated people

in their employ wilh special consideration, the American t^irl could not understand the enthusiasm with which the profession of nursing was regarded.

The conservative K::g!i.sh adopt some new ideas more quick !y than we, but few Americans need to be told that nursing is now looked forward to as a profession by hundreds of American girls of good families and refined antecedents. The work is often hard and sometimes of the most menial order. The nurses have to wear uniform.' when o:: duty, and they must become mem bers of 01 hers' households, but their knowledge gives them recognized authority, and their service in saving life confers on them a badge of merit.

Another kind of service has lately risen in dignity because it has been taken up by cultivated people.

At the

summer resorts

in many parts of the country, notably nt the White mountains, the dining room at tendance has passed into the hands of col lege students and local schoolmistresses. A quick eye, a steady and, a sure foot and a long memory are the essentials for a skillful hotel waiter, and these requirements arc admirably met by our keen witted -youth who are struggling for an education. Their position is recognized by those guc„sts whose wealth is not recently acquired.

I lately happened to be seated at table under the shadow of Chocorna with a gentleman who was a cosmopolitan of Colonel Higginson's description—at home even in his own country. Being familiar with the society of European capitals, this gentleman appreciated the social conditions of different peoples. When the pretty wait ress, evidently tho village schoolmistress, and probably a descendant of some Revolutionary soldier, came-for orders, the gentle man at once addressed her as "Miss."

Tho great reason why housework is repugnant to self respecting Americans is not

much on account of the work itself, for other kinds oi' labor aro hard and monotonous, but on account of tho conditions under which it is performed. The single domestic lacks society. She is isolated from th.» family life, and she can never call any time lier own. Girls will work all day amid the steam of a laundry, the fumes of a factory, the bad air of a sewing room becau:. there they have companionship, their hours are defined, and they arc their own mistresses when tho day's work is done. It in impossible to have these conditions in domestic service except in very wealthy fam ilies, and there the workers must bo branded as servants. As there is every probability that house wages will go higher rather than lower, and as tho girls will not come to tho houses, tho houses must go to tho girls. —Forum. _______

DresM of French Babies.

For the first six months babies in France aro not so lovable as thoso of America. Not that they are less pink and white that their eyes have less of the heavenly blue, and that their tiny fingers are less tapering and rosy, but all theso beauty spots are not, set off by dress. Most of tho French still wrap their babes in swaddling bands and cover their heads with homely skull caps. Have you seen Daguan-Bouveret's "Madonna" standing in a sunlit, blooming grove holding her babe in her arms?

Only that great artist could make the babe interesting, for this one, liko French babies, is wrapped up in eoarso linens and flannels, tucked up likoamummy. It seems cruel to stretch their little limbs, render them immovable with tightened bands and pack thoir little bodies and feet as if the whole bundle was to be sent back forthwith to heaven with "fragile" written on the back. Nothing is left of tho precious baby to smile to and to kiss but the small tip of an excuse for a nose and tho rosy tapering bits of fingers.

Over the torturing bands and clothes the well to do put lace skirts and dresses, but naturally the flowing elVect is lost and the little face looks more packed up than ever, when the thick, plain skull cap is topped with a fancy lace one. Babies' dresses, too, are not, made as long ns in America, and as soon as tho swaddling bauds ere taken off tho tots are put in short clothes. French mammas seem to be afraid of fresh air for their babies, for they never have them wear low necked dresses with short, sleeves.

If by chance there is lew cut dress in tho layette, they put on a guimpe, so as to have baby's delicate skin under cover. When the age of the emancipation has come, the Imby takes its revenge by throwing its arms up, kicking and trying the gymnastic feat of putting its toes in its mouth. Rut the emancipation does not lost long, for a kind of corset is put ou the child to straighten it up, as if it lacked backbone, and it is not discarded until the girl is given regular corsets and the time of suspenders has come for the boy.—Paris Cor.

Charming GtrUt Honest Clerks!

The number of large defalcations involving betrayals of trust is visibly less than it was formerly, and in number and variety embezzlements do not keep pace with the constant increase of the volume of mercantile business. An embezzlement is no longer au everyday occurrence, and the word indeed has ceased from use in this state as a legal definition of tho offense of larceny by breach of trust.

A retail establishment in this city has recently unearthed a number of petty theft!?, all chargeable, as investigation shows, to male and not to female clerks, though the latter outnumber the former in the proportion of Ave to one. During the past 10 or 15 years there has been a prodigious increase in the number of girls and young women in the saks and cashier?' depart* menta ct retail dry goods shop*. There are female cashiers, accountants, auditors, bookkeepers entry clerks and cashgirls. Thev are intelligent-, accurate, alert and almost without exception lionet.

Potpies and How to Make Them.

No dish known to the average house keeper is more commonly made a failur-. of than the ordinary potpie. Do what i: will, keep it covered ever so carefully, ku: the water up to the boiling point, tiptet across the floor to avoid jarring—indeed, use whatever precautions she may, wkt:: the dish is served the dumpling is as heavy as heavy can be, and the discouraged coo! declares with emphasis that she can't in) tigine the reason why she never can mak good potpie. One reasou of the failure that people try to make it too good. Th. use cream, butter, eggs and various ingrc dients, all of which make the compour.. too rich, aud, as a matter of course, tmoment the air comes in contact with i. down it goes.

Almost any one may succeed in mr.kir a potpie by following tho most simple ui rections: With flour, cold water, a pincl of salt and the usual proportion of bak::: powder, make a paste which may, wi:! great care, be handled with the hand Turn it out on the pastry board and pat i. gently with the hands, using just as littk

flour as

possible to shape it into a cake o.

even thickness. Then lay this in the kettle over the meat and vegetables, which must be nearly done. Boil rapidly for 15 minutes then take it carefully from the fire, remove all but the gravy, which is to b, slightly thickened with flour, providing the dumpling has not made it thick enough before, which is sometimes the case. Pour the gravy over the dish and serve immediately. Made and treated in this way dumplings will be light and digestible 9 times out of 10. A number of cooks who have adopted this recipe say that in years they havo not had a single failure.—New York Ledger.

Chinese Foot Binding.

The evils of foot binding—as indeed the evils of anything that interferes with the Natural development of what God pro nounced good—could not perhaps be exaggerated, but the pain connected with it might be, and perhaps has been. There is pain, great pain, when the feet are first bound. But if we judge from what we see about us every day—namely, little girls at play, and little beggar girls running after us on tho street begging for a cash—for thr

beggars

bind their feek—we are compelled

to say that it looks as if the pain connected with it is not severe. It is perhaps somewhat similar to that connected with the straightening of a club foot, and as t'.c bandages are not taken off at night there is perhaps not much more pain suffered from it during a whole lifetime than that suffered by our ladies who wear tight shoes.

While we would not exaggerate the pain.-, of foot binding, it is only just to say thai nothing can be said in its favor. It no doubt adds to the woman's beauty in the eyes of tho Chinese, for it is an all but universal custom, but it takes away all her grace of movement and much of her useful ness. She is compelled to walk on her heels, her knees being entirely stiff. It im pairs her usefulness, especially among the country people, for she helps to plant and

harvest

tho grain but as a mother, which

is her principal business, it matters little whether she can walk or not. Indeed wealthy ladies usually have a woman on each side of them to support them, though this is the result of fashion as much as of weakness.—Isaac T. Headland in Harper's Bazar.

Nuts as Healthful Food.

The oleaginous seeds or nuts area class of foods containing in general no starch, but aro rich in fat and nitrogenous elements in tho form of vegetable albumen and casein. In composition tho nuts rank high in nu tritive value, but owing to the oily matter which they contain aro difficult of dlges tion unless reduced to a very minutely divided state before or during mastication. The fat of nuts is similar in character to cream, and needs to bo reduced to the con sistency of cream to be easily digested. Nuts should be used at the regular mealtime, and not partaken of as a tidbit between meals. It is likewise well to eat them in connection with some hard food to insure thorough mastication.

Nuts, as well as most other seeds, contain a largo proportion of nitrogenous matter, even more than most grains. The peanut,, for example, contains 28.8 per cent of this element, which is more than any other food substances either animal or vegetable. Some uuts aro more digestible when cooked than when served raw, and, owing to the large proportion of fat which nuts contain, they may be utilized inr variety of ways in connection with other food materials, to make pleasing and palatable dishes.

Walnut, pecan nd hickory nut meats may be easily reduced to a meal by chopping quite fine aud afterward pressingwith a potato masher through a wire sieve or a

very

fine colander. Such nutmeals may be served as a dressing on grains, or may be utilized in the preparation of numerous breads, soups, purees, &c.—Good Health

Character In at Woman's Hair.

Did yt.u ever know a woman's character can be read by her hair? Palmistry having gone out of date among fashionable people, tho unveiling of the disposition may be done by a close examination of my lady's locks.

If her hair shows much care, being glossy, well kept, and every pin ia its- place, you may rely upon it she is a lady, born and bred, whether her own or the deft fingers of a maid arranged it

Gloss only comes from constant attention, and the woman of innate reflnemeat is the one who lingers over her toilet, revels in baths and adores shampoos. Therefore, sign number one reads truthfully. Coarse hair shows humblo birth. Brown hair, as a rule, if of the peculiarly fine character that makes it appear very thin, will indicate a good disposition. Hair that splits in the ends is a representation of the owner's tendency to quarrel and have bickerings and differences on all occasions.

Black, glossy hair shows treachery blond, fluffy hair weakness and vanity, and red hair temper bnt truthfulness. The sort of hair known as drab, the kind so hard to match and awfully high priced when one wants a false bang, reads thus, highly sensitive and touchy. Either dye your locks or expect to be read of all men, for \hongh hands sometimes lit hair never Iocs.—American Hairdresser.

A CIPJW Complex I ou.

No woman is happy who has not a. good complexion. There aits many muddy skinned wonunj who only need a short coarse in cathartics to give them dear skins

and clean looking eye*. Then again there are others who need to use hot water anany good unperfumed soap on their face' once a day. After the face is washed hot water, it should be rinsed in cold n"' allowed to dry without using a vow. Toweling the face too much brings wrinkles. No woman who fails to w. her face in soap and hot water can claim have a clean skin. Little bumps and swt: I ingsor redness are relieved by bathing wk. spirits of camphor.

Ammonia in the water wrinkles the skin Blonds should never use glycerin on t\ face. If they must use grease to soften skin, let it be a little almond oil mLcu with almond meal and oatmeal or ccn. meal. Steaming the lace, said to be, gcr for a bumpy skin, reddens it almost beyc. repair. Young girls with stubby finvv tips should pinch each finger sepai: after washing the hands.—New Ork ... Picayune.

Burning Kitchen Itefuse.

A word might bo said in regard to the burning of wrapping paper. Nothing, unless perhaps salt, clam shells, or watermelon rinds will deaden afire more effectually. 1 remember a washing day rendered unusually blue by a late clothes boiling all on account of a big paper conflagration. Better leave the wrapping papers to be burned after the dinner is cooked, if they must be burned. Really cremation seems the most desirable method of disposing of paper in which meat, cheese and other articles coming under the head of groceries are wrapped. Cremation is one of the indications of a progressive age.—Good Housekeeping.

She Needs No Defender.

Now SorosiB has been discussing the question as to whether a woman minister, woman doctor or a woman lawyer is the most useful member of her sex. Nobody appears to have been on hand to put in a plea for the wife, mother and housekeeper. They aren't in it in Sorosis.—Boston Herald.

That's all right. It may be necessary to put in a plea for the woman minister, doc tor or lawyer, but as for the true wife, mother and housekeeper, God bless her, she has no use for it.—Troy Times.

A Pretty Wny to Serve Butter.

A pretty way to serve butter is to place a small square of ice on each individual but ter plate. With a heated poker a small depression is made in each block, in which are laid one or two clover leaves, if possiple, or a bit of parsley, and in this cool, green nest the yellow butter ball appetizingly and effectively reposes.

The most giddy schoolgirl questions now whether good taste or good feeling will allow her to carry on her head a dead carcass, which suggests a desolated home full of starved nestlings.

Clean the inside of fowls and birds with a moist sponge kept for the purpose. It is much better than wasting their delicate juices by washing with an abundance of water.

instead? How children love to see motlu dress up! A little extra bow or dainty ruci. ings, a little more pains than usual vrir1 the coiffure, or a new home gown—liov, these touches, that are no trouble to giv are appreciated by those keen eyed critic that are quick to detect an undertone o: discontent or the least falling off in personal toilet attentions!

children?" How man:

times I am as£T?fi tlyit question, and always by women 1 "Thai depends upon the cbil dren," is my invariable reply. Children ought to be charming. Nature makes them little animals with strong wills, which the3 proceed to exercise the moment they arc born. What they want they cry and kick for. When they find themselves masters of the situation, domestic despotism sets in, and the whole household submits to a small but penetrating voice that rules with a rod cf iron.

Nature makes these little people absolutely selfish, but nature also makes them absolutely pliable. They are as clay in the hands of the potter. If potters appreciate their awful responsibility and properly mold this human clay, there arise such children as call their authors blessed they become bulwarks of the state. Leave that clay to its own evolution, or fashion it according to fiilse standards, and what should be a joy becomes a curse to society.—Kate Field's Washington.

"An Ounce of Prevention."

"'Keep a child in bed for fully a week after every symptom of illness has disappeared,' is my rule in all serious diseases," said an eminent physician. "If you will do this, you will greatly reduce the chances of a relapse. When the temperature be comes normal and the appetite returns, the patient naturally becomes eager to get up, and it is very natural to suppose that the change from bed to lounge, or even to the next room, would be beneficial, but it is really most dangerous. "This is generally the time when a busy doctor feels that he ought to be able to turn over his charge to those who are nursing him, and yet In many and many a case a relapse has occurred, and the last state is worse than the first. Therefore, as I say, keep the patient in bed a week longer—it does no harm, and an ounce of prevention is worth many a pouiul of cure."

WIVES HATE DUTIES.

PREPA?.!.\'G AND KEEPING THE HOi»:: NOT THE ONLY THING.

American Girls Are, as a Hnle, Too In:opendent When Tliey First Assume tsiarrlafie Contract—Where Wives 1..

Other Nations Excel and Fail.

There is no mistake about it that American wives are unlike anything else of tbc sort in the world, and yet you would suppose the word wife must mean about tin same thing the world over. An American girl always approaches marriage with a certain sense of claiming her rights. She may not have distinctly in mind that sin is wronged, or likely to- be wronged, but she puts herself instinctively in a fencing titude, and her first quarrel will probably be to show that nobody can lord it over her. This sentiment is caught in the schools, cs pecially in girls' schools,, and while ifeis a.-, sociated with a very proper sense of freedom, it can also do a great deal of mischief.

The English wife makes no claim tc know anything about her husband's affair -.. The American girl expects to be taken, in full confidence, and in this I believe she- is right. She ought to- know, and sheoughi to share the consequences of knowing- But so far as I can observe, American wives have not yet come toa conviction that they arc to share in the responsibilities of hor.nbuilding.

They

recognize a certain amount

of duty.about a house, but if bankruptcy occurs not one woman in 100 feels a:r- responsibility as to the occurrence or to the debtors. She simply intends to hold to-all the fragments that she can under the law.

In other words and all around, the American wife does not go into the partnership with a full surrender of herself. Divorces are now one to every ten marriages,, and she has a half formed or a quarter formed sentiment that she may some day escape the wedding bond if she finds it disagreeable. Of course this reserve of the fullness of the gift, this not quite consummated union, tends directly to mischief. It is likely to breed quarrels, if not a divorce. As a rule, we may set it down that a divorced woman is a husk without a soul. Oh, yes, there are exceptions, but not many. Our true hope for ourselves is to enter into an honest, full marriage—not to love only, but to do our duty. You can not crawl out of the wreck of a shattered home fit to bo gin tho experiment of building another. The really married American woman makes as near a model wife as the world can show. I think the French wives of the middle class are, on the whole, the best product of Christian marriage.

Then I have an idea that husbands and wives live too much in different worlds. This is not so with English people, and especially not so with German and French There the wife at least understands on a pinch how to do her husband's work. I do not know one wife in twenty who can nar ness or unharness a horse or milk a cow. Most of them consider it a shame to do so. When I first married, I had on occasion to drive a horse home, and either leave, it all night in harness or unharness it myseif. John told me next day that 1 had pulled the harness into pieces—had unbuckled every buckle but the right ones, etc. I ^elt vexed and resolved to learn the art, and 1 have. I fancy I cau put on and take off horse's jacket as neatly as I can do it foi Ned. But of course Ned is almost alwnyit my horse boy, ready to harness and to drive for me.

Only will you tell me why a farmer's wife should not be able to milk a cow or a gro ceryman's wife to take his place for a day and sell and keep books? I have watched the effect of this full co-operation, and it works admirably. I know a Welsh, merchant who keeps a corner grocery and fruit store, and the next door is his wife's millinery store. She keeps the books with her daughter's help, and the husband pushes all moneyn and accounts through, the glass windows between the two stores. The Englishman would not agree to this he and his wife work together in all but money matters.

Cash

and accounts he holds to be

sublime affairs quite beyond the comprehension of the female sox. Another friend of mine is a commission merchant and is working on a small capital, but his wife takes the place of a clerk, and so they make the years pull through, always gaining a little.

Do I mean to say that it is the duty of an American wife to milk cows and run groceries and market wagons and make hay? Then another class shouts quite as loudly to know if I think a man has a right to marry a woman and turn her into a cook or a servant. My deardarlings, it is all in a nutshell. You have just as much right to take right hold, according to your circumstances, and make ends meet :s your hus band has. He has no more rig., to make a drudge of you than you have to make :r drudge of him. But it so happens in this life of ours that very few of us escape doing or having an obligation to do a great deal of work, and some of it is not pleasant. 1 conceive the real American wife is the one who cheerfully turns a duty into pleasure. It is not in the nature of things that most of husbands am support wives without work. I am sorry to believe that we are not growing in our respect and honor for work.

The old style New England woman had as hard a lot as any one ever had, but she honored it. Now, I believe with W. T. Harris that we have to do less work than formerly, and machinery is still going tc lessen it for both man and woman in the future. We need not "be slaves," but we shall never be able to live soundly and womanly without earning our bread. Perhaps my ideal is best expressed in that co-operation—a family should be a fully cooperative body. Don't think you are rising above your level by showing signs of idle ness and freedom from toil and care, or that you are lowering yourself by any possible work. I like to make hay. We only demean ourselves by being ashamed of work.—Mary E. Spencer in St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

Indiscriminate Saving.

"Save the bits of twine. Wind them on this ball." So said an oversaving housekeeper to her new "help" as the latter made a roll of the paper in which a leg of mutton had been sent from the market, and put paper and twine into the kitchen fire. The "help," a sensible young person, looked questioninglv at her mistress, making no reply. Here was an opportunity not to be slighted: the woman must convert this young person. She said, "Never throw away anything that can be of use." The servant "talked back." "The cord was greasy: it was not fit to use again."

was the preacher who was converted this time, and she sensibly confessed herself more zealous than wise.

Nothing will take the place of a bit of twine, as all housekeepers have been convinced, bnt we prefer that which has been used on packages containing other goods than sausage, fish or suet. There are other odors more grateful to the sense of smelL— Good Housekeeping.
