WOMAN AND HOME.

YOUNG WOMEN ARE ESPECIALLY FIT TED FOR CEHTAIN.WORK

JBintH on'iood Kcal An»«*r lean iirl—SeWiiiliiieftH of Mourning— A Woman'* of Mltid—The Fib

Alxini Age~Tlii I'ii-*! I!«uu.

How ofu-ii it i* *Uh. xiie is a worn BJTI, and of course *he C.KI't expect to get a* much an JI man FI -ifin.H to have been demonstrated that in the shorthand and typewriting fl*l«l thi* women do not get asmuch vvitjxw* iii the men.

In business office it has generally been considered that the young man can be called upon in way* in which it would not be possible to employ young women, and for this reason his wages hiivelwen made somewhat higher than her* There are, however, many things to be said upon this point, in which it might le shown that there are compensatiotm in the case of the young woman which more than ofTset her supposed disadvan tages.

She Is peculiarly fitted for the confiden tial characterof the place. She has not the inducements to reveal the secrets of the office. She is not likely to be led into temp tatiou after office hours. She is more re iiablw In the matter of sober habits. And last, but uot least, she Is likely to be more congenial as an olTice companion. Thie last qualification opens up a whole line of inter eating considerations. Business men are often subject to annoyances of a very har asaitig character, and the slightest degree of frictiou in the office relations will make much difference in the amount of wear and tearfuvoh ed in the strain upon theuervous system.

The quiet, steady, alert and sympathetic helpfulness of thoroughly honest, capable and respectable young woman goes a long way toward inducing that proper frame of mind, judgment and temper upon which bang business interest* of vast magnitude and importance.

We could therefore recommend to busi ness men the propriety of giving careful and conscientious consideration to the many advantages which they may secure by the judicious selection of a refined, in teliigentand respectable young woman for the duties of stenographer in the office, and particularly the reasonableness of paying her at least as much wages as is paid to the young man in the same line of work.—Ste no^rapher.

flints on Good Manners.

Mnnv women, particularly the more yoti'iiful ones, commit through careless ness or thoughtlessness many breaches of good manners which ueed but a reminder to be speedily remedied. To begin with, the sweet tooth of the average American girl tempts her to eat candy in the street and at the theaters, though she may be quite aware that to do so is not good form The same girl who would scorn to eat pea nuts and condemns those delicacies as "vul gar" munches away on caramels or butter cups in public vehicles, public thorough fares and public places of amusement.

Many young women, the best hearted Iu tho world, will wound their parents' hearts by openly correcting or contradictiug them, forgetting that their own superior knowl edge does not show up to advantage when paraded at tho expense of good manners. This habit on the part of the younger mem here of society is one that should be nipped In the bud at once. Suppose father or mother do mispronounce a word, make misstatement, or fall into an error of gram mar, does It make the thing any better by «mphaslelng their faults RO openly? The first law of good manners is consideration And respect for those older than ourselves: therefore that, outside of any other promptings, should restrain the flippant correction of parents before strangers at least.

To discuss your clothes, your servants or yottr domestic alTalrs Is to stamp yourself ill bred. General conversation is the only tort tolerated In the best circles. Do not talk and laugh at the theater or other plac? of amusement, annoying those about you who oame to enjoy the performance and not your conversation. Do not stare at people aud then discuss them so that there is no possibility of their mistaking the topic of your conversation.—Philadelphia Times.

The Real American Girl.

The truest, best and sweetest type of the American girl of today does not come from the home of wealth she steps out from a home where exist comforts rather than lux nriea. She belongs to the great middle olas»-~tbat class which has given us the best American wifehood which has given helpmates to the foremost American men of our timo, which teaches its daughters the true meaning of love which teaches the manners of the drawing room, but the practical life of the kitchen as well which teaches Its girls the responsibilities of wife hood and the greatness of motherhood. These gtrls may not ride in their carriages, they may not wear the most expensive gowns, they may even help a little to en large the family income, but these self same girls are today the great bulwark of American society not only of the present, btit of the future. They represent the Anicricau home and what Is best and truest la sweet domestic life, and they make the best wives for our American men.

I have no patience with the theories that would seek to place the average American girl in any other position than that which she occupies, ornaments and rightfully hold*—the foremost place in our respeck, our admiration and our love. She is not the society girl of the day, and she is better for it She knows no superficial life, she knows only the life in a home where husband, wife and children are one in lov«, one iu thoughts and one in every action. She believes no woman to be so sweet as her mother, no man so good as her father. She believes that there are good women and true men abroad in the world, and, thank God, her belief is righu And that man will ever be happiest who takes such a girl for his wife.—1-adie*' Home journal.

Une cannot hope that tae aged, nccustoincd to the-usage, will abandon it at once. If it eases their pief to so display it, who would forbid them, who have lost so many of their life frieudsf In the very old there is, if anyivlu v, an approach to appropriateness in be VA aring of at least partial black. But the discarding of excessive mourning display may well be begun by the young and middle aged. Especially let us not have children, spirits of joy and hope, masquerading in the hues of death. \Vby cloud their lives more than nature clouds them? In all but the very aged it seems as if some appropriate observance in neck dress, the wearing of grayB and browns, etc., rather than any gay colors, were as far as we could safely go without inflicting our grief on others. —Li ppincott's.

A Woinan'i Presence of Mind.

There are few who are not familiar with the story of "Elizabeth or, The Exile of Siberia," but there are not many who know that the author, Mme. Sophie Cottin, was not only a woman of genius, but a patriot whose sympathy for distress made her risk her own life without a question or besitar tion.

She was a widow, young and beautiful, and who, mourning her husband, inconsolable, retired from the world and in her strict seclusion devoted herself to her liter ary work. While the reign of terror was at its height a man whose name was on the proscribed list, but who was personally unknown to her, appealed to her for aid. He was in hiding, doomed to the guillotine should he be arrested. To assist him meant, in case of detection, arrest and death for herself. But notwithstanding this she went to work at once to complete an unfinished story that she might have money for him when he came. While thus engaged she was surprised by a domiciliary visit from the gendarmes. The compromising letter lay upen her desk.

With wonderful presence of mind, she explained that she was a literary woman engaged iu her usual occupation and offer ed to read a portion of what she had written. They were soldiers themselves, and she read with ail the dramatic* power she possessed the entire manuscript so far as it had been completed. They were charmed and gratified and went away, refraining from searching the papers or molesting her in any way.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

On® Thing a Woman Will Fib About. No matter how honest a woman* may be, she will lib about her age.

There are exceptions to this, all exclaim in wrath, but these same G. Washington exceptions will smile and purr like contented pussy cuts when some understander of the feminine nature says: "What! You 86? You don't look a day over 201"

You see the principle is there just the same, and the universal horror of growing old. There is that which is unspeakably terrible to a woman in having old age relentlessly stalking toward her and no power on earth able to Drevent it.

Men laugh at the idea, but they do not understand—they cannot. To a man increasing years usually bring success, happiness, attainment of the aims and desires of his youth, while the passing years take from a woman youth and beauty, her greatest powers, make her more dependent on the man she marries, obliterates her. A wise woman does well to fasten thfe heartstrings of those she loves to her by cultivating in the day of her freshness and beauty the fascinating little manners and ways that can laugh at time—a thing complexions cannot do. But when we get too blue over this subject it is comforting to remember women who mysteriously never grew old. If only they had told us howl—Chi cago News.

The First Beau.

The first beau appears along about when we are 14 or 15. There have been, of course, many little boy admirers, but the genuine gallant does cot materialize until we put on long dresses and commence making ourselves up for young ladies, a comprehensive phrase that all girls will understand. He is usually the brother of some especial chum of ours, and in this way we are enabled to see him more often than if we had DO reason for going to his house. He is exceedingly bashful before people,, but can talk a blue streak when we are alone. He squanders his allowance on ice cream, soda and caramels, and on rare occasions invites us to a church sociable or concert. He is always one of the group of youths who wait outside the church or Sunday school door, and he is the one always to escort us to our homtes on such occasions.

We are teased unmercifully about him and really enjoy it, though pretending to be fearfully indignant and provoked about it. This sort of thing goes on until something happens, as some things have a way of doing, and either he goes away to college or we leave for boarding school, or perhaps a quart el or a change of residence occurs. At any rate years perhaps will roll away before we see a bearded man who bears not the slightest resemblance to the blushing, rosy cheeked hoy we called our first beau.— Klmira Telegram.

Music Teacher's Advice.

A vocal teacher on Murray hill, who gets $5 for SO-minute vocal lessons, is most conscientious in prescribing for the physical welfare of her pupils. Here is her theory: "Perfect digestion, sweet breath and nice teeth first, mj dear, and then We will study the scales. Give up candy or give up vocal music. The two can't bo harmonized. Eat a pound of grapes every day of your life. This is good for the voice, the throat and the stomach. Get them at any price. Pay $1 a pound and if need be go without gloves. Splash cold water over the throat, shoulders, chest and arms every morning, dry quickly, and you will never have a cold. Close the register in the sleeping room, no matter what the temperature is and sleep in a flannel gown with plenty of blankets. Quilts and comfortables are weighty, but not warm. Cold air should never touch a delicate throat. Breathe through the nostrils day and night. Sleep with the mouth closed, if you have to tie up the chin. In bad weather don't economise on car fare. It is cheaper to ride than to ruin the boots sad soil the hem of neat garments. A cultivated voice should be the pride of a giri who talks as well as the one who sings."— New York Evening Sun.

Outside her domestic circle the Italian woman dees not work, except in the lower classes, find then she uses rather her physical thaa her intellectual strength. The business woman, like in L( ranee, is not met with except in Hedmcnt and Milan.

Smoking Women In Fiction.

The prominence of cigarette smoking women in modern fiction, especially in dealing with the refined products of civilization on the continent, must have been noticed. If smoking by women were one of the commonest and most natural things in the life at great European centers, we should not be surprised, but we do not believe it is yet so common, at least as a public practice, as the fiction writers would show. We think that the novelist is attracted to the cigarette smoking woman rather because there is an element of irregularity about her, something new, somewhat startling to American readers and therefore likely to take.

There is no question that cigarette smoking is common among the "fine ladies" of Europe, and particularly in that class from which Marion Crawford has drawn some of his recent characters. The curious but pure creature who ran away with Don Orsino's heart he first met in a studio where she was sitting for her portrait. When fatigued with sitting she borrowed a cigarette, placed herself carelessly on a divan, and smoked with Don Orsino and the artist.—Exchange.

Flats as Homes.

Severe criticisms were passed recently upon a firm of builders because they had put up in a small city, where land was cheap, a large apartment house. "Here will be 10 families crowded under one roof," said the critics, "when each one might just as well have a roof of its own.". But when the 10 flats which the building contained were rented another side of the 'question came to light.

Seven were occupied by families of women who had naturally suffered much from timidity when living in isolated dwellings, or who had been crowded and inconvenienced when hiring rooms in the homes of other people. Two other families were those of traveling salesmen, who were obliged to be out of, town more than half the time. The modern flat, even in its .best form, may not be a model dwelling place, but it is blessedly adapted to the purpose of setting the fatherless in families.—Congregationalism

t?66| Children's Feet Bry.

"Keep children's feet dry and warm,'' said an experienced old nurse, "and you ueed not be afraid of their taking cold." When a child's feet are found to be cold at night, plunge them for an instant into cold water and rub briskly with a dry, coarse towel. Then have him go to lied at once. Nervous children are apt to have chilly feet, Often they are in a cold perspiration th greater part of the tima Such children should change their stockings daily, wear^ thick soled shoes and avoid rubbers, ex cept in absolutely stormy weather.

Too often rubbers area temptation to child, inducing him to walk in puddles ani experiment as to how far he can wade the water without wetting his feet. Cofj insoles are desirable for boys and girls whi are much out of doors, and the habit of £8*4*"' quiring into the condition of their own feet will make them exercise proper precaution and avoid illness.—Childhood.

The American Mother. '"Vi

Our British brother really begins to find us out. In an article on the American child, which one who has been here contributes to the London Queen, he says of the American mother: "She is if possible too unselfish, and the consequence is that the child is apt to become exacting. But it is precisely this peculiar trait that runs through all American society it is characteristic of men no less than of women. Husbands slave for their wives, regardless of all recreation even in the most heated days of summer, while the wives in their turn lavish all their thought and care upon the little ones." .,

Spirit In a Child.

The older members of the family often laugh at the "spirit" of the child when thep should correct it. When the habit of ill temper has been formed by continual outbursts of anger, they attempt to curb it and find how hard it is to control the force of habit. Selfishness of every kind grows with indulgence, but nothing grows so rapidly by indulf »nce as temper. When this habit is once confirmed, the individual may be justly likened to some rabid wild beast, whom every ohe seeks to avoid.—New York Tribune. a

Fruit and Health.

Lemons, grapes and tomatoes are most valuable from a medical point of view, and if the uses of such fruits and their juices were persevered in there is every reason to believe that not only cancer, but many other riiBAA-wn of a similar nature with which the skill of the surgeon and physician are unable to cope, might be actually cured, or so much alleviated as scarcely to shorten life —Family Doctor.

studying Greek Drama.

Syracuse has a Greek drama class for women that meets once a week to study the dramas that in the days of their early popularity no woman might appear in, for on the Athenian stage no woman actor was allowed. Even Sophocles' Electra was always played by a man, and her m«Udms were the youths of Athens.

The pine bath is one of the modern fashionable treatment fads. A strong solution of extract of pine is poured in the water of the bath, which is made as hot as can be borne. This bath is taken at night only.

COLDS AND THEIR CURE-s

A» «»U1 Nurse Tells How They May Be Handled.

An old nurse, whose remedies are looked upon as infallible, was asked the other day how to cure a cold, and here is what she said: 'pii

When a cold once gets a good start, yon can't cure it. It's bound to run its course for three weeks, like a fever. The time to take a cold in hand is when the first symptoms are felt. For a cold in the head the best thing to do is to steam the head. That is what the doctors do. They use all sorts of appliances, but a common teakettle will do. When the water boils, move the kettle to the back of the stove, remove the cover and hold the face over the steam. Put a towel around your neck, so as not to wet your garments, and keep your month open. Keep this up as long as you can stand it. Do it at night when you are going to bed. If yon do it and then go out, it will be more apt to aggravate than to cure the cold. If one could stay in the house and keep the rooms at about the same even temperature for two or three days, nothing more might be required.

In addition to steaming the face a hot bath should be taken and a dose of quinine. This is one of the few medicines that it is safe to take without a doctor's prescription. How much should constitute a dose depends altogether upon whether the patient has ever taken it before or not. Almost any one, though, can take two 2-grain pills night and morning. Tt must be discontinued, though, just as soon as you begin to experience a ringing sensation in the ears. A laxative is also necessary.

A cold on the

lungs

is even more' seri­

ous than a ccld in the head. If it begins with soreness and tightness of the chest, thd best thing to do is to rub in with the tips of your fingers a mixture of vaseline and turpentine. A hot foot bath, in which two tablespoonfuis of mustard to the gallon have been dissolved, and a hot drink should be taken. If there is much pain, apply a ginger plaster to the chest. If there is a dry, hard cough, steaming the face will relieve it. As the cough becomes looser a cough mixture made of molasses, butter and an onion, all boiled together, should be taken.

For a simple sore throat there is nothing better than to gargle it with salt and water.

The Vienna Twist.

Women who cannot wear the "bun'' chignon are favoring the Vienna twist. Yon make ii this way: First, have your fringe (or ba.igs) at least from four to six inches long and curl it tightly. When you comb it out, comb from, not toward, your face ar.d gather all your hair into one tail, tying securely just above the nape of the neck. Then ease out the hair over the en wn and wave it with the tongs. Twist the tail into a smooth rope and loop it rp, twisting the end round the ribbon and tying the hair above. Cnrl any short hair on the nape of the neck and pin the bangs back into place with invisible hairpins. Some women add a twist of velvet with upright bows* others affect a wide fold of surah silk fastened round the coil and finished by a paste buckle.

A Hklf and a Half.

A small pupil in one of our schools stood before her teacher at recess with the half of an apple in each hand. "Which half is the biggest, Misfe

Her teacher was in a mood to be critical, and answered^" "A half is a half, whether it's half of an apple or half of the world. So, you see, if your apple is cut exactly in halves one half must be just the size of the other half."

The eyes of the little pupil filled with tears as she heard this scholarly discussion, but she still held out the two "halves" of her apple, although her little hands trembled. "I didn't mean it that way, teacher," she said, sweetly. "I wantiyou to have the biggest hall" "Thank you, my dear," said the teacher, who suddenly discovered that it took very little learning to be generous and though.tfuL—Detroit Free Press.

Totally Blind with Scrofulous Sore Eyes

Hood's Sarsaparilla Gave Back, Her Sight, and Joy to Her Father's Heart, -1 -J' Waterbury, Vt., Nov. 19,1892. 0.1. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.:

In April, 1889, my little girl Mamie, who was then 3 year old, commenced having ulcerated eyes, also had sores back of hev ears. Her sight began to grow dim, and I f-iared she

Might be Blind.

I then lived in Jerlclio, Vt, In the early days of June I went with her to tho Mary Fletcher hospital in Burlington, and there she was treated four different times—a surgical operation each time, one of which left the scars now visible on the eye balls. She recovered from this treatment each time, a slight Improvement for a few days, was soon worse thnn ever. She could discern daylight from darkness, but could net ««e lo walk acrona the room. next went to a large hospital in Hartford, Conn. At this hospital no surgical operations were performed, but medicine was dropped Into her eyes and given her to take. She was at this hospital about ten weeks, continually grow.

WMM, and when 1 took her in November Was Totally Blind. "I arrived at my station In Jericho with, tlw child, sad iu spirit and impoverished in pocket completely diacourngcd, On our way to the house from the station, we stopped at the store of Capt. McKIunan, who was an old sea captain, to warm ourselves. The captain had known the child before we went away. While we were warming ourselves Mamie said: •"Papa, it's dark, where are you? I can't see you.come to me.' ...

The captain's heart was touched, and with tears, his eyes he said: .i rley, you go and get a bottle of Hood's Sarsaj Ilia and give it to her, and if it don't help lie-1 will pay for it.' "That very afternoon I got Hood's Sarsaparilla and commenced giving it to her according to directions. The first beneficial result was a brltrhtenlng of the eyes, which continued steadily Improving until, under the treatment of Hood's Sarsaparilla, on the ninth day she ceuld aee to pick up a pin on the floor without its being pointed out to her, and before the first bottle was all use:

Her Sight was ("rtirely Restored. I keep Hood's Sarsap rilla in the house always, and when the child gets a little cold, if her eyes appear inflamed, a few doses settles it. I thank God first, Hood's Sarsaparilla second,

A Woman's Letter. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: If any one wants to know how good your medicine is, just refer them to me.

I was so low, people thought I never could get well again. The trouble was in my womb, causing bearing-down and severe backache. I was so nervous and irritable my people could hardly live with me. Sometimes I woukl almost fall down, I was so dizzy, and how I did lie awake nights! I thought I should go crazy!

But now all that is changed, and I am a well woman. I owe all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg* etadle Compound. Now, when I do not feel just right, Itake a bottle of your medicine and a box of your pills. They never fail." —Mrs. L.
