A PLEA FOR THE PASSBOOK BY ONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO USE IT.

Valuable Household Hints.

Among the counsels Kiven to those much advised persobs, housekeepers, is this one, wafted on the wings of wisdom and experience, "Pay cash and shun the passbook or any other form of credit system." Thus only, it is said, can strict economy and living within one's income be learned. If one has only .V) cents in her purse, let the dinner cost 49 cents rather than 51 cents. The consciousness of having lived within one's mearm will in the loug run far outweigh the delight even of good dinners. The passbook, it is claimed, is a beguiler into extravagance and luxurious living, a breeder of dissensions between the trader and his customer, and when viewed in its total at the month's end a cause of grief and astonrneut to her who must pay the bill.

Having faithfully tried both ways of buying, I am prepared to defend the passbook and to urge its general adoption in place of daily payments. It is easier, takes less time and need not involve temptation to extravagance. In these days when housekeeping is a science, intelligent and conscientious women are not tempted to extravagance.

Many good and wholesome dishes are inexpensive, and if occasional indulgence in oostly food be permitted the weekly account can be evened up by greater economy. Corned beef or an Irish stew, like "the littie girl with the little curl," when they are good, are very good, and they make a happy medium when averaged with a pair of fowls or a roast.

By the use of a passbook the vexing necessity of making change is avoided. The grocer knits his brows when a S5 bill is given to pay for a yeast cake and a few other trifles, rummages in his cash drawer and sends his boy to half a dozen places to find change. If the order is a large one, other customers must wait while the grocer foots the bill and the lady reviews the column before making payment. It would incommode fewer people if this account were looked over in the leisure and privacy of her own house. I have stood wearily in a butcher's shop, seats not being provided, 25 minutes by the clock, waiting my turn, while others selected their meats, looked over and talked over their accounts and paid. Fully half thid time would have been saved had every lady carried her passbook, as 1 did mine.

When the passbook is used, let it be the only account kept. Two accounts seldom agree. If the book invariably accompanies ttoe purchaser, there will be no additions or alterations to be made at the end of the month, and consequently no surprises for tfje customer. She may look it over and foot the columns every day or every week and see exactly where she stands. My own way is to instruct my grocer to keep no separate account, and to insist that members of my own family shall always take the book with them when sent upon er rands. The grocer must refuse to take any order, even from myself, unless the little book be first produced. It is the daybook and ledger of both parties. It is therefore correct.

As goods are selected they are noted by the grocer, with their prices, in the book. When the articles are delivered, the book lies on the top of the basket, and the cook is required to compare parcels with acoount book to make sure that nothing has been omitted. If a grocer would not acoede to this simple and accurato arrangement, I would refuse him my trade. But 1 have never found one who did not gladly adopt the plan and wish it universal. Women who givo their orders at the door aud think no rnoro about their marketing cannot of course use the passbook. They must accept the grocer's statement, be it right or wrong. But suoh I cannot help regarding ns among those who shirk responsibilites and therefore upon whom advice is wasted.—-Harper's Bazar.

Tho Clinging Vine.

The figure of woman as tho clingiug vine has been altogether overworked. It may be pertinent in individual cases, but it does mot. represent accurately the relation which women sustain to men, either in this country or iu many others. Among the laboring classes tho world over the women do as much work as tho meu, and perhaps on tho whole a good deal more. They do not need to cling to their husbands or brothers to do It, and in "higher walks" of life, if we ao•ept cotiveutioual distinctions as true ones, it is men who appear frequently as the dinging vines, supported by a trellis in the ahapeof a wife.

A French writer, in speaking of Parisian women, says: "What in particular distinguishes the Parisian woman from other women is her good humor and clear head. She knows how to use her gifts no less in society than iu business. She is often the real leader and director of the affairs which oarry the husband's name. While monsieur travels about, giving orders, taking purchases, cashing checks, visiting factories, etc., madam sits in the magasin and holds all the threads of the business In her hand. She has often that prevoyance which is usually credited to the husband, and his firmness and courage united with feminine tact and quick perception. At home, as mother and wife, she shows the same admirable qualities."

The Mine praise might be awarded to many American women, though Americans have not shown their good sense to tho same extent as Frenchmen in taking their wives Into business confidence.— Christian Register.

Woman and Dm*.

It la curious that knickerbockers should be the wear of all tho women oft he eastern hemisphere, where femininity is more instated oa than In our purer atmosphere, and yet that here the petticoat isfs«o strenuously supported as "the badge of all our tribe." There is really nothing essentially immodest in a costume that allows the fact to be perceived that a woman is a biped, and surely a dress that covers the limbs separately, and therefore effectually, must be admitted (once the possibility of displaying two feet being allowed) to be the mote suitable style of apparel for all occasions of exercise. It of course is so far unpleasant for a modest woman to wear such a dress that, being novel, it attract* observation, but as woo as it became cus tomary any such special notice would oease. tt is not long ago that woman who bathed in the sea la a dual garment vrr-s eonskieml "fast." but now cvnn the bath ing machine proprietor Ss converted and givss Harriet for the day the use of a divided garments and we all perceive that It ts by far the most decent method of dress* ing for the circumstances Nodoubtasimi iar truth—for It la equally true—will ere

long be accepted as to the cicii»0 u.ress. The loose skirt working up and down over the ankles with the wheel is tlie really offensive spectacle aud the only other alternative—namely, that women shall not cycle at all—is not likely to be adopted.—Loudon Illustrated News.

Stays and Stamina. jr

The American *v omau's Illustrated World prints the result of an interesting experiment made by a dozen young women under the direction of Dr. Sargent to determine the influence of tight clothing upon the act ion of the heart. The ff-st was the running of 440 yards in loose gymnasium garments, and covering the same distance with the corsets on. The running time was 2 minutes and 30 seconds for each trial, and in order that there should be no cardiac excitement or depression following the test the second trial was made the next day.

Before beginning the running the average heart impulse was 84 beats to the minute. After running the above named distance the heart impulse was 152 beats to the minute, the average natural waist girth being 25 inches. The next day corsets were worn during the exercise, and the average girth of waist was reduced to 24 inches. The same distance was run in the game time by all, and immediately afterward the average heart impulse was found to be 168 beats per minute.

Dr. Sargent says that henefver feels justified in advising an athlete whose heart impulse is 160 beats per minute after a little exercise to enter a running or rowing race, and from this may be inferred the physiological loss entailed upon the system in women who force this important organ to labor under the disadvantage of a tight corset. .••••

Don't Whip the Children.

The old ironclad methods of punishment are happily fast passing away. Thtere has been a vast change in public sentiment during the last century. The "rod is spared" these days by humane parents. So are the dark closet and other horrors. But, it may be asked, do the gentle reproofs, the chilling looks, the deprivation of treats, accomplish the much to be desired results? Are the children better behaved than of yore?

There may not be so much outward fear of their elders. There may be less awe and reverence, fewer outward and visible signs of an inward respect for authority, but surely there is leas inward, corroding rebellion. While children may not love their parents any more, they are on better terms with them than formerly. The father who

is chummy'with his boy, who gets down to farmer.—Springfield Homestead, that eager, inquiring, restless little soul and explains, visits and encourages, does not need to cut a birch gad or buy a horsewhip In order to maintain discipline. And the mother who sympathizes, cuddles and plays with her children can keep her slipperson her feet and her hairbrush on the dressing table. The holding off of children is a fruitful source of disobedience. They need love, tenderness and sympathy as much as flowers need air and sunshine.— Woman Writer.

lleanty Abroad.

The question of the beauty of English women is being vigorously debated. Grant Allen records his observations now com- tion," answered her friend, amused by the pared with 25 years ago, when he first went pin pricks of fortune endured by the rich.— to France. He says: "I was struck by the extreme plainness of the French peasant girls, the visible unIntelligence of the bourgeoisie, and the mere sprightliness without real beauty of the upper class women. In England, judged by American standards, I thought the women of the lower classes heavy and dumpy, of the middle classes often dull looking, though frequently pretty of the upper classes cold, but handsome. "After 25 years I see little change in France, but much change in England. Beauty, to my eye, is distinctly more frequent. Intelligent beauty is immensely commoner. Bright, pretty girls now abound here and there in the lower class. The upper class remains much where it was, but in the middle classes the improvement is unspeakable. Prettiness is general, and real beauty is much more frequent than formerly. Girls are better grown, havefiner figures, look much more intelligent and possess better chiseled features on an average than their mothers."—New York Suu'a London Letter.

A Tribute to I«uoy Stone.

Frances E. Willard contributes to Lady Henry Somerset's paper, the L^ulon Woman's Herald, an appreciative skSSch of Mrs. Lucy Stone. Miss Willard says: "From my earliest recollection I have known of her character and work, for she was a student in Qberlin college when my parents were there, and I used to hear my mother speak of the independence of character of Lucy Stone, which led her to decline on graduation day the honors she had earned because the essay she had written was to be read by the professor of English literature instead of by its author."

Miss Willard gives an outline of Mrs. Stone's life and says: "As a pioneer iu the most unpopular of all reforms, Mrs. Stone has perhaps suffered mora than almost any of her associates. When the 'woman movement' has moved on to victory, and no artificial limitations hedge her from helping humanity to the limit of her power, the name of Lucy Stone will stand beside that of John Hampden In the history of the An-glo-Saxon race."

Ml** Willard'* Advice.

Miss Willard gives the following excellent advice to young women: "As you sit around the evening lamp can you not resolve that you will commit to memory at least a verse a day from the best poets? 1 shall never cease to be thankful to Professor William P. Jones, my earliest preoeptor In the woman's college in Evanston, who asked all of us girls to form this habit. Indeed he made It a rale for his rhetoric class, and would give us scraps that he bad out from the newspapers of the day afid say, 'Leant that it will be a gem laid up In the casket of your mind.' "This became so much a habit that I have now pinned to my bureau a little collection contalniugseveu of the best sonnets ever written, some of which I am committing to memory, and upon others I am refreshing the knowledge I already bad. Goethe said that a civilised person ought every day to hear a little good music, see a fine picture and leara a few words from some reasonable mind."—Pacific Ensign.

i£k Laugh. There is absolutely nothing that will help you bear the ills of life so well as a good laugh. Laugh all you can. If the clothesline breaks, if the cat tips over the milk and the dog elopes with the roast, if the children fall into the mud simultaneously with the advent of clean aprons, if the new girl quits in the middle of housecleaning, and though you search the earth with candles you find none other to take her place if the neighbor in whom you have trusted goes back on you and keeps chickens, if the chariot ypheels of the uninvited guest draw near when you are out of provender and the gaping of your empty purse is like the unfilled mouth of a young robin, take courage if you have enough sunshine in your heart to keep a laugh on your lips.— Chicago Post.

Why It Is "Badcllffe College." And why Radcliffe college? In the good old days, when the seventeenth century was young, Lord Moulton, one of England's noblemen, wooed and won the fair Anne Radcliffe.

Whether my lord had money himself, or whether his bride brought him wealth, we cannot say. But at any rate Lady Moulton, nee Radcliffe, had money. And she gave Harvard 100 big, shining English pounds in 1643, thereby establishing a precedent for other women and laying the foundation for the fame she will now enjoy. She was the first woman to give anything to Harvard and one of the first to give to any educational purpose.

That's why it's Radcliffe college.—Boston Post. 5

Influence of Pictures.

A room with pictures in it and a room without differ by nearly as much as a room without windows, for pictures are a loophole of escape to the soul, leading it to other scenes and other spheres, as it were, through the frame of an exquisite picture where the fancy may for a moment revel refreshed and delighted. They area relief to the jaded minds they are windows to the imprisoned thought they are books they are histories and sermons, which we can read without the trouble of turning over the leaves.—Atlanta Constitution.

Obeying the Wife.

A Scotch clergyman, just as he had told the bridegroom to love and honor his wife, was surprised to hear the man interject the words "and obey." A few years afterward the clergyman met the man. "D'ye mird, Bir, yon day when ye married me, and when I wad insist upon vowing to obey my wife? Well, ye may now see that I was in the right. Whether ye wad or no, I hare obeyed her and, behold, I am the only man that has a two story house in the hale tounl"— Exchange.

Perfuming Clothes.

A delightful mixture for perfuming elothes that are packed away, and which is •aid to keep out moths also, is made as follows: Pound to a powder an ounce each of doves, caraway seed, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon and tonka beans, and as much orris root as will equal the weight of the foregoing ingredients put together. Little bags of muslin should be filled with this mixture and laid amohg the garments.—Philadelphia Call. ,£S

Miss Mary Cutler's Farm.

Miss" Mary Cutler at Holliston, Mass., owns and manages a nursery farm which affords pleasure to all visitors and knowledge to many. Inheriting the homestead and business from her father nine years ago, she began the task of showing what an intelligent, energetie woman may do, and has made money growing choice trees, plants and flowers for sale. While all the branches, of market gardening and nursery are under her supervision, she can entertain visitors with all the ease of a fashionable dame. She is a good musician, paints pictures which would please an artist and can converse upon any topic of the day. Such a woman "by being a profit making 1b not "buried" by being a

Biches Can't Do Everything:. "Do you know," said Mrs. Midas rather enviously, "I find that it is by no means those women who get their things from abroad that wear the best clothes? Now, I give Worth and Doucet carte blanche. I get my habits and tailor made gowns from the best places in Etwtlaud, and every one of my bonnets and hats is imported. And yet I do not look half as smart as Mrs. Turnpenny, who has her gowns made by a little woman who works by the day and who buys her bonnets on Twenty-third street." "There must .be some law of compensa-

A Pretty Dish.

The next time you are planning a small dinner ask your butcher to cut your fore quarter of lamb into a "crown" piece. If he knows how, he will do it so skillfully that after it has been roasted it will reach the table as round as'a crown, with the clean chop ends sticking up and out in an artistically curving fashion, the whole simulating, as much as meat can simulate, the regal headpiece. Turn a can of French peas into the center of the crown, and these, falling through between the ribs, may suggest emeralds, or if they don't they'll prove a suitable garnish and excellent eating.—Her Point of View in New York Times.

Horsford's Acid Phosphate For Impaired Vitality and weakened energy, is wonderfully successful.

THE CHURCH ALTAR.

"Clergyman Tells How to Handsomely Decorate It. Palms and other potted plants are* usually used iu the Christinas decoration of the church, but a much finer effect can be secured by grouping these at points away from the altar and decorating that with vines or evergreeus. If holly is procurable, it can be massed, about the altar and arranged along the chancel rail in a carelessly artistic way and be made much more effective than any potted plants, as the latter always, have a more or less formal air about them, in spite of all efforts to avoid it. If you have tall palms, place them in the background.

If evergreens and flowering plants are used, do not combine them, but keep the flowers to one side. The two do not harmonize. One "kills" the other, to make use of the term which artists use to express inharmonious combinations of colors. In this case it is not so much a clash of color as it is of individuality. Red berries and leaves require nothing in the shape of flowers to bring out their beauty, but show to the best advantage by themselves, or when used with evergreens. In wreathing the chancel rails, fasten the sprays to a rope or cord with fine wire or string, and do not attempt any regularity in size or shape of festoons when you put the wreathing in place. Aim to produce an unstudied effect,

A charming effect is produced by sprinkling the leaves of evergreen with mucilage and sifting powdered mica over them. This will glisten in the evening like frost. If the supply of holly berries is limited, crystallized grasses can be worked in effectively. There are varieties of shrubs growing in swampy places which bear scarlet fruit which makes a very satisfactory substitute for the holly. Throw vines over the altar, letting the ends of the branches trail on the floor at sides aud front.

Among the dark green foliage—which should be washed before using, to bring out its glossy beauty—fasten the berries gathered in the swamp and use grasses among them if you choose. Some of the berries can be dipped in mucilage and dusted with mica and combined with the scarlet clusters. The frosty white and glowing scarlet harmoni/.e well aud contrast strongly and heighten the effect of each other. The rich green of the ivy will throw out the colors most effectively.

The long branches are easy to arrange satisfactorily. Simply throw them over the altar, and they seem to almost arrange themselves. A pure white cross can be placed on the altar, with sprays of ivy winding about it and trailing over its arms. If thought preferable, a cross or star-made entirely of berries, either in their natural color or frosted, can be placed in front of the altar, against a background of ivy or evergreens. In this case I would not use clusters of berries at other points of the altar decoration, but confine the effect to .the designs into which they are worked.— Rev. D. E. C.

Hydrogen and Oxygen Ciusos. Chemical experiments prove that hydro gen and oxygen gases will combine with tremendous violence at very high pressure 2,700 pounds to the square inch. In these experiments a small glass tube was employed, into the ends of which two platinum wires were fused, and after introducing a cubic centimeter of acidulated water the tube was hermetically sealed, then placed in a large glass vessel of cold water and an electric current of six volts passed through it.

The acidulated water was rapidly decomposed into hydorgen and oxygen gases, the action continuing as. energetically after 10 minutes had elapsed 15 and 20 minutes passed, the action within the minute vessel continuing exactly 25 minutes elapsed, when a vivid flash, succeeded by a violent report, terminated the experiment, shattering the glass vessel and scat teirng fragments in all directions. The force of the explosion may be understood from tho fact of the sealed tube being but an inch and a half in length, and containing only one cubic centimeter of water, nevertheless portions of the glass were hurled with sufficient force in the immediate neighborhood of the explosion to penetrate a wooden bench to half an inch. —New York Sun.
