A DdCTOR ON HOW TO AVOID^ND HOW TO CURE MELANCHOLIA.

"Why do so many women have melancholia?" repeated the doctor, who has a large practice among the "depressed" and "nervous" feminine population. "Because they don't take care to avoid it. Because they absolutely disregard the rules of mental and physical well being. Because they would rather eat what they like and suffer indigestion and the blues afterward than to eat what is good for them, but doesn't tickle their palates. Because they'd rather git around on down cushions than take a tramp six miles through the open air. Because they read too ra uch sentimental stuff. Because they haven't enough to occupy their minds and their hands."

Then the doctor paused to take breath and began again somewhat less aggressively: "It is never the women who have cause to feel blue," he said, "who indulge in blues. The women who have shiftless husbands, hard hearted landlords, sick babies and all the usual accompaniments of poverty never grow so depressed that they have to be treated for it. They are too busy. It's the woman with an adoring family, ^ocial position and a comfortable income who doesn't find life worth living. It isn't the servant girl who gets up at 6 to kindle the fire and who slaves all day who indulges in melancholia, but the daughter of the family who arises at 8, dawdles over her breakfast, reads a little, practices a little, shops a little, craves excitement with all herheart and is melancholy because she doesn't have it. "There is no habit which grows upon one so rapidly," went on the doctor. "It becomes a disease in a very short time. My own plan, whenever I feel an attack corning on, is to put on my walking boots and tramp vigorously us far as I can. It is simply impossible to exercise and feel blue at the same time. Of course a general care of the health is necessary, and work is the chief factor in effectingacure. Every woman vvlio has a tendency to melancholia should have an occupation which, if it doesn't entirely absorb her, will at least keep her busy. And she should give her mind up to practical rather than theoretical affairs. She should study how to put an extra shelf in a closet or how to make an overshoe that won't come off at the heel, rather than the teachings of the theosophical school or the philosophy of Herbert Spencer. Ordinarily good health, plenty of oxercise, plenty of work and an interest in the affairs of this world rather than the next are tho great preventives and cures of melancholia."

A Floral Qnllt.

I cut blue denim into 42 hexagon pieces five inches long on each side. These were all hemmed neatly at one time on the sew ing machine and put in a drawer. Afterward each one was worked and laid away until all were ready for sewing together. Flower catalogues were boijght, figures selected for each patch and basted on. A bunch of carnation pinks was traced with rather coarse thread and outlined as flower, leaf and stem. I took off the paper and embroidered the design with linen floss. As taste or time permitted, I carried out the pattern in its delicate tracery and shadiug.

When all was done, there were no two patches alike. There were pansies, sweet peaft, geraniuraB, roses, daffodils, tulips, coreopsis, chrysanthemums, a large bunch of clover and holly leaves and berries. As 42 is a goodly number, many designs were needed. Each design with leaves, stems and tendrils extended to the patch. Wall paper often has pretty designs. 1 sewed the hemmed edges together in an overstitch on the right side, and at each corner where they connected worked a large daisy. The effect was very pretty. As one lady said, it reminded her of snowflakes magnified. I crocheted fringe of white and blue cotton yarn, mixed, in a pretty design. For the fringe, put in each stitch a chain of 80 stitches of double cotton. It was lined with unbleached muslin.

Aa the designs came from the different floral catalogues, I think the floral quilt is good name for it. In one corner is worked the year and this verse:

Dream what you wilt, Beneath this quilt May blessings Bttll bo yours. —Housekeeper.

Cheap Baying.

That is the way with a woman. She will go without rubbers and economize on flannels. She will save on her down town luncheons and walk holes in her shoes rather than waste money on her fares. She will launder her handkerchiefs in her own room, rinsing them in her wash basin and pasting them on tho mirror to dry. They will be soapy and smelly and horrid, but she will use them heroically, borne up by the knowledge that she has saved half a dollar out of the weekly laundry bill.

She will deny herself the pleasure of having that dress which she really needs, though she has the cloth all ready and waiting, simply because the dressmaker charges so much. She vrill renounce cor respondent because stationery and stamps, you know, really run away with a good deal of money. She will make a martyr of herself, and talk about it and glory in it until every young man who knows her (and who isn't old enough to understand) will think what a heroic little thing sbe is to battle with the odds of poverty.

And theja, brave and demure in her threadbare cloth gown, she happens across a bargain counter and mortgages het salary for a month buying impossible gauzes: things that won't wash nor wear nor keep one warm things that must be made over stiff and crinkling silk and trimmed with velvet or ribbons or lace, and then are only fit for a festal garb. And the young woman knows that she cannot afford either the "trimmings" or the "making," and she really doe# not know what she would do with the frocks if she could afford them. So she lays the fragikv useless, aUining gnoses away in the orris powder at t&e bottom of a trunk and talks some more about her poverty. And her conscience doesn't trouble her at all. Why? Oh, because the things that she bought were cheap!—Chi oago Post.

The dado is altogether banished the frieze is brought well down upon the wall conventionalized flowers are allowed to trail about graceful designs are sought. No attempt at subduing the walls into a mere background is made, and only the dainty furniture stands against them and claims their support. The picture as a whole is made sweet and inviting. And if some few critics carp and cry out that it is wrong, let them build up rooms that are better suited to their needs and that offer more tempting repose. For while it is beyond dispute that flowered papers do not make perfect backgrounds, they do make parts of an attractive whole.

Others, less well suited to such rooms, can be found to serve where sleeping and sitting rooms are combined and where pictures will be hung or the walls otherwise decorated. But for the room that induces sleep, that lulls the senses to rest, that is designed for a bedroom, and bedroom only, the dainty flowered papers and the papers of bright yet tender tone are good despite the apparent paradox, and despite the law that pronounces wa!^ a background only, whi rh in all other rooms should be obeyed. —Harper 3 Bazar.

1 Bad Place For Women."'

The reader can scarcely conceive of greater hardships in life than the people who inhabit the Arctic coast of Alaska endure. Life is to them a serious struggle. Their faces tell it. Women 20 years pf age show that they have borne exposure and hardships which have already made them prematurely old.

The farther south of the Arctic circle they live the less they have to endure, as the struggle to maintain existence is less of a strain and effort, and the cold is not so deadly in its work.

All the drudgery in life is done by the women, and the growing girls get their share assigned to them quite early enough. Not infrequently by the time a girl is 16 years old she is a mother. Scarcely one child out of five survives and grows up, and it is not uncommon in winter for both child and mother to be frozen to death.

In hunting, expeditions the women carry the burdens and do the other hard work in whaling they cut tn the blubber, drag it to the settlement with the aid of the dogs f\nd stow it down in caches, and in the daily routine of life the hard work is practically all theirs.

They are devoted to' their children, in fact to all children, never scolding or punishing them, and if a woman sees a child in trouble she will go at once to its relief. Children who do live are carefully reared and devotedly cared for.

In case of a shortage of food supply of the settlement the women are the first to be turned out to die, and they accept their lot without complaint, willingly leaving to their husbands and children whatever chances of living there may be in the small allowance of food at hand.—New York Journal.

Woman and Poverty.

It is hard to the woman of small nfeans and luxurious tastes to keep within her income and abreast with the times', but a little sound sense in the way of finding out short cuts to economy, will work wonders.

The woman who has learned to make a good appearance upon next to nothing becomes an object of envy to her less fortunate sisters. It is largely a question of investigation, of watching sales, of shopping properly, of making $1 buy $1 worth of goods. And only that severe teacher—experience—will teach all this. A woman cau be dignified even if she-is poor, nor should she feel that because poverty has flung its somber cloak about her she should draw its folds still closer and hide herself from the pure sunshine of the world or the kindly friendship of her friends.

Too many women are inclined, when poor, to withdraw into a shell, snail fashion, and become crabbed and poverty spoiled. Poverty is not the greatest of crimes, as many suppose. There are, lots of things worse than that, and wealth is not the alpha and omega of happiness.

The woman of fine nature will accept this fact gracefully, and by her example help many a disheartened woman to look on the bright side of life, to look her finances squarely in the face and avoid laying out her money in unnecessary expenditure. By a bit of forethought a small sum of money cau work wonders, as the active, fine natured woman who has learned it all well knows.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

Legal Injustice to Women.

A young man and wife start out together in a small investment, depending for profit on the joint labor of one behind the counter or both, as business may require, the wife being the domestic manager.

Nine times in4en, under my observation, the wife works the harder. She works in the kitchen she works in the store. She does not indulge in luxuries.

If after 10 years of common toil, including the blessed relief of motherhood and its joyful added cares, he, under our lax divorce laws, should brutally cast her off on one of the many pretexts found now sufficient, the equity of that wife and mother in the property of which she fully halved the making is not recognized except by caprice of courts or license of flexible statutes.

I must say that the disposition of the judiciary has been almost invariably oa the side of equity, but common law and statutory bars still operate hardly upon the wife and mother.

The mother, however abject her poverty, wants the child or the children, and will work herself to the bone to maintain and educate them. Under the laws that lie on the books of most of our states she cannot get her moiety of the material goods to which she is in conscience entitled except after expense aud delay, if she succeeds even then. She rarely succeed". —Margaret Sullivan in Douahoe's Magazine.

A Woman'* Compliment.

"Absolutely the most satisfactory compliment. which ever drifted my way." said a woman. "I received the other day. "I was hurrying through one of the blocks between Fifth and Sixth avenues, just below Twenty-third street, when I saw approaching me a woman whom I thought I knew, I took her to be an out of town friend, and my pleasure to meet her was: the greater from its rarity. I hurried forward, not waiting to fairly reach her before beginning my delighted greeting. The words froze on my lips, however, as wej actually met, for I saw that though the likeness was extraordinary, even at close

was almost out of hearing before I could rally and call 'Thank you' after her. I shall never see her again of course, but I shall always remember her quick tact and delightful courtesy."—Her Point of View in New York Times.

Children's Ears.

Do you ever notice children's ears when you «ire on the street cars? If you do, you will be as surprised as I was to find how many project from the head in an absurd and ugly manner. This can be remedied and should be, for a good shaped ear, lying •lose to the head, is a mark of exceeding beauty. An observing person has invented "ear caps." These are bar/ds of covered wire, fitting close to the head and carefully made, so that even a sensitive child feels no discomfort from wearing them. .They are made to be worn at night, though under an ordinary street cap t%ey are unnoficeable. Children can also be taught at an early

not to lie with the tops of

their ears bent over, as many children do. —New York News.- til

tsfo The Japanese Empress. Some years ago, when the imperial palace was burned, the unselfish empress of Japan, amid all the excitement and discomfort she was called upon to endure in a hasty flight to a comfortless old yashiki, thinking first of her subjects' natural concern for her comfort, sat down and wrote them a dainty little rhyme, which proclaimed as erroneous the report that she had changed her residence. It coyly asserted that her home had always been in the hearts of her people, and that she sincerely hoped that neither by flame nor by cold could she be driven from that dear abode.—Harper's Bazar.

Firmness With Children.

So inufch good advice is proffered to mothers that the coming generation should be a well nigh faultless race. Herbert Spencer writes: "Consider well beforehand what you are going to do. weigh all the consequences, think whether your firmness of purpose will be sufficient, and then, if you finally make the law, enforce it uniformly at whatever cost. If the consequences you tell your child will follow certain acts invariably ensue, he will soon come to respect your laws as he does those of nature." w*LPT

Beauty In Deep Breathing.

Indolence is the mother of ugliness. Nineteen out of 20 people are too lazy to breathe properly. The rarity of beauty is not to be wondered at considering the absolute necessity to health of abundant fresh air. Habitual deep breathing produces health and beauty, not only by exercising the muscles of the chest, but by throwing back the head and compelling the whole body to assume a straight and majestic attitude.—Health Hints.

Deformed Children,

An anxious mother once took a child to a physician to have him pass judgment on a very "Ugly shaped jaw. The lower one protruded, and they did not set well together. The doctor assured her that that, or most such blemishes, could be treated if the patient were taken young enough. In this case the child has grown to be a pretty woman with as well formed a mouth as any one could,desire.—New York Telegram.

Rubbers Are Not Popular.

"Rubber shoes are not as salable as they were a few years ago. Women are getting sensible. They have double soled boots that are made for the street and worn on the street. Some are calfskin, but all are thick, serviceable and comfortably fitted. Boots of this sort invariably accompany the cloth dress, felt hat and loose gloves of the woman who understands and illustrates the eternal fitness of things,

Once More For Woman,

At the last public function Carter Harrison ever took part in, and the last public act of his life, it is pleasant to remember that he rang the new Liberty bell in honor of "American Cities' day." Then Mayor Harrison said, "Now, boys, ring it once more for woman." This was Mr. Harrison's last public utterance, and the next time the bell was rung it was in requiem for the murdered mayor. 1

Parents »ad Children.

Says an exchange: "A woman should go away occasionally and give her children and their father a chance to get real well acquainted. For some reason a father is always better to his children when they are left alone with him. It is good for a man to have his children come to him with their troubles, which they seldom do if their mother is at home, and in addition it gives her a rest."

Mrs. Morton's Shoes.

"A lady whospends a small fortune on her foot covering is Mrs. Levi P. Morton^ She is very particular about the make and has them altered until they fit without a wrinkle—like her dresses. Patent leather, suede kid of four or five different shades, satin, silk and velvet, with no two pairs alike, either in color or decoration—such is a partial description of that lady's footgear.'

Doilies of IAOO Bark.

"Fern doilies" are made of lace bark, a diaphanous, lacelike material found under the bark of certain Jamaica trees. This is bordered with a set pattern cut out of the brown cabbage plant. The doilies are not only unique and beautiful, but also serve as "promoters" of conversation by leadingthe talk to foreign lands and quaint fancies.— Housework.

A Salmagundi Party.

As the word implies, a salmagundi party is one in which a variety of forms of entertainment is sought, and may include games, cards, dancing, etc. At a salmagundi £arty held in New York cooking was the form of entertainment, each guest being called upon to prepare ^sotne dish for the supper.—Exchange. 1 jrJth

A girl is not in her teens until she becomes IB years old. The word "teens" means the years of one's age having the termination "teen," beginning with "thirteen" and ending with "nineteen." A girl only 12 years old is not in her teens, although she is in her thirteenth year.

MODERN LEG SAVERS.

AN INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF HOW THE ELEVATORS WORK.

In a tarse City Iinndrcds of Thousand* Bide on Them Daily—One Elevator Wltf Carry 1G,6€0 Persons Day—HOW Some •of Thcia Are Operated by Water Bower.

Five hundred thousand men ride in. the elevator?: of York city, every day of the year, and not one man of them in a humlrc.l h::s more than the vaguest idea how these .shooting cars work. As for the 100,000 or so women who daily call out "up" or "down," the percentage who know what makes the thing go v. would be shockingly small.

To get some more precise ideas about these vertical railways, the writer went down the other day into subterranean New York, into those wonderful modern catacombs where engines throb and elec-. tricity takes its birth, under one of the great down town buildings, which contains no less than 34 elevators, 21 for passengers, 13 for freight. ?A strange and unfamiliar region is this, where giant wheels, belted to other wheels, make the foundations tyemble,and the air roar in one's "Here." sr.-.d *he engineer, to whom all this \v :s ns miliar as the schoolroom to its ter. :Iier. 'here are the boilers which supply to work tin- elevator pumps aud to lr.ru the dynamo.-.. There are nhw of them, cach 18 feet long and feet in diameter. They burn .25 tons of coal a week, winter and summer. The Reasons make very little difference it is a 1 ways the same down here. "Now com." this way, and you will see how this ster-m makes the pump* send water up to the tanks at the top of the building—5,000 gallons of it a minute. Say they wqr\ at full pressure half the time, or four hours a day, that gives 120, 000 gallons p:imped up about 200 fee whicjh means nearly 240,000,000 foot pounds of energy a day to run the ele vators alone. "Not so bad, is it? And the beauty of it is that in doing this work wo use the water over an I over again pumped into the tanks above, then discharged iuto the big tajik down here, then through the pumps again ind so on until wo change it for cleanliness." "And how does the water run through the elevators?" "I can uiaka that plain to you in two minutes. You see each elevator has its water tank at the top of the buildiug and its own hydraulic machine at the bottom, and the two are connected by an 8 inch iron pipe. Tnat pipe lets the water from above into tl.a 3 foot cyliiyler of tho hy draulic machine, and this water is kept by the pumps at a pressure of 100 pounds to the square inch. "Consequently whenever ithe water presses into the cylinder it drives this pistou rod out to its full length, 1(5 feet, with the force of some scores of tons—the calculation is,ea.-. if you remember the for mula. Now this piston rod in moving pulls apart what you might call the two blocks of an enormous pulley, with five wheels in each block"Here they are, see. And the wire rope which runs around these pulley wheels goes over a wheel up under the roof, and then down till it catches the top of- the elevator car. As there are 10 wheels in the two pulley blocks the end of the rope with the car attached travels 10 times as far as the piston rod does, or 10 times 1(5 feet, which is the distance the elevator travels up and down." "What brings the piston back and the elevator down?" "The changing of this valve where the iron pipe joins "the cylinder. When the valve is thrown one way, the water presses into the cylinder, and up goes the elevator when the valve is thrown the other way, the pressure on the piston is relieved and the water is discharged into the tank ovfer there, through these pipes. Then the elevator comes down by its own weight and that of the passengers. "The valve is worked by the elevator boy when he pulls the cord either way, and if he should forget to pull the cord the valve would act automatically, just as the valves in an engine do. "The wider the valve is opened, going either way, the faster the car goes, up to a certain point, where, whatever might happen, even supposing the valve to burst, a separate attachment, consisting of an independent cable, would stop the car by the action of what we call the safety governor. There you have the whole thing in a nutshell." "And what if the wire rope which holds the car should break?" "The elevator would stop instantly, as it woxild also if one of the four ropes—for there are four, not one—should even stretch. The car would stop because by reason of a simple device a series of wedges would be thrown out and grip the iron frame in which the elevator slides. The hejs vier the load the harder the wedges would hold."

In some elevators the big cylinder is visible above the floor in a vertical instead of a horizontal position, with the pulley wheels scattered along At intervals on the way up, as if to give the passengers food for reflection. gSftjt V-',

In some again there is no water tank at the top of the building, the requisite pressure being obtained by pumping compressed air. These are details which concern the elevator men only, and not the general public. It is a, splendid achievement to have mastered the main point of a single system.

One point which I found interesting is the question of speed. How fast do these elevators run? How many miles do they cover a day?

This merely depends upon the number of pulley wheels you have attached to your piston rod. With six, seven or ten pairs of pulley wheels, instead of five pairs, the, elevators just under consideration would run 32, 64 or 160 feet farther for each stroke of the piston than they do at present.

The present rate is 500 feet a minute, so 10 pairs of pulleys would give 1,000 feet a minute. Twenty pairs would give 2,000 feet a minute, 40 pairs 4,000 feet minute and 80 pairs 8,000 feet a minute, or over 80 miles an hour. Theoretically there is nO limit, but as a matter of fact, with these constant stoppages at every floor, the present speed of elevators is considered as great as will ever become advisable.

Already in express elevators in Chicago, in such human beehives as the Rookery, where no stop is made before the tenth or. twelfth floor, elevators are rus at the rate of 800 feet a minute.

Hie average New York elevator may be said to carry 20 passengers many carry more, some less but, taking these figures and allowing 500 complete trips up and down as the daily work of an elevator in the bttsy buildings, then you find each of thane elevators carry 10,000 persons daily when it runs full.—Boston Globe.
