ALEXANDRA CLUB.

HAS NINE HUNDRED ENGLISHWOMEN AS MEMBERS.

Oonfffdereri "The First Ladies*" Club In England—No One Eligible For MemberMi ip Who Would lie Excluded From the

QuvouV Drawing Jioom Some Member*.

"We consider ours is the first ladies' clab in London.". So membersof the handsome cluli in Grosvenor street are wont to assure the humble outsider. Stress, it mast be Hndenaood, is placed on theword "ladies," because the AH»emarle, with which the Alexandra rnitfht Ix compared, contains members of both sexes. And the Alexandrans do well to be proud of their club. It was started 20 years ago. It has grown steadily until the pi esent time, when it has some 900 members, and its life, fjo far as can be ascertained, lias been untroubled by momentous incidents, for clubs at least may be said to be happiest without a history.

The superior merits of the Alexandra muBtbe taken on trust by gentlemen, who, together with dogs and such children as cannot remain perfectly quiet, are forbidden to set foot within the doors of 12 Grosvenor street. But for all that, one or two menservants may be observed by envious members of their sex, stationed on the privileged (ride of the portals. The adult female visitor, however, who presents herself under proper auspices, will find the drawbridge raised in her favor, and she will presently be In the heart of the feminine fortress. Stepping across the hall, she may peep into the diniug room, where she will not fail to be duly impressed by that air of staid solemnity which wine glasses and dinner napkins present when set in ordered array for no visible guests.

Proceeding, under the pleasant escort of Miss Kiuneur, the secretary, along the Turkey carpeted passages, she will note the special sanctum of the manageress, who undertakes all the housekeeping arrangements. She will cast a glance at the little office where members can interview servants in absolute privacy, and she will certainly tarry awhile in Miss Kinnear'sown charming sitting room. Then, after piling dressing rooms and a ground floor bedroom, reserved for elderly or delicate ladies, she will come to the reading toom. which has been built at the rear of the house to meet the wants of the growing society. It is a large reading room, well furnished with papers and periodicals, and comfortable withal.

But the principal room is the double drawing room, which occupies the first floor. The decoration is pleasing, without being particularly striking. There are plenty of reposeful chairs, and altogether we see the type of drawing room in which well born and prosperous English women, with no special fads—political, artistic or social—are wont to be found. This is rather a negative description of the Alexandrans. But we counterbalance it by an affirmative statement in saying that they are smart. Of this fact any one may judge who sees the very elegant embodiments of the newest fashions that are set down from neat coupes and victorias at the club door.

But there is also a considerable section who, from preference, are not smart, and ID the matter of general sociability the Alexandra would probably yield the palm to several clubs which comprise women whose interests aro at once vigorous and tolerably alike. This, however, is not to say that much pleasant chat may not be enjoyed at the Alexandra by small coteries of friends.

By Its enactment that "no lady is eligible who naH been or would probably be preluded from attending her majesty's drawing room," the club laid itself open to some quips and did not, JUS will be seen, succeed in drawing a line which should entirely hedge oil' the gentle from the intrusion of the simple, since the phrase "probably would be excluded" leaves an awkward gap

the barrier. The club's other rule that all candidates must be proposed, seconded and supported by members probably serves the social purpose more effectually.

The system of club managemeut deserves notice. The proprietorship of the olub is tested in the finance committee, consisting of Lady Vincent us president and five other ladies. This committee undertakes the entire financial management, relieving the members of all peouuiary liability, and publishes the annual statement of accounts. The general committee comprises the members of the finance committee as ex officio members, together with from nine to fourteen others, who are elected originally by the whole oft he club members. It is stipulated that two or three should retire anBually, but as they are eligible for re-elec-tion, and ns the general committee also reserves the right of filling two vacancies annually by election among themselves, continuity of management is secured at some sacrifice of direct representation.

Lady Knightley of Fawsley is president of the general committee, and the club includes among its numerous members Lady Mary Hervey, Mrs, Byrne, Lady Henley, the Hon. Mrs. Courtney Vernon, Mrs. F. Cavendish Ben thick, Mrs, Gurney Buxton, Lady K, Spencer Churchill, Mrs. Hider Haguard, rs. Beresford Hope, l.ady Emily Fiumaurice. l.ndy Sts Leonards, Mrs. Mack worth Praod and Mrs. Taylor of Chip* chase.

The club irives itself additional distinction by occasionally electing honorary life members. This compliment has been paid to Mrs, Fnwcett and to Mrs, Townsend, foundress of the Girls' Friendly society.

It remains to mid that there is excellent sleeping aecotnroodatskm at the Alexandra, that the whole building is fitted with electric lights, and thnt both the entrance fee an'd the subscription are 5 guineas.—London Queen.

Time* Unto CtiMK«d.

A medical journal declares that no woman doctor ever earned a living before I860. It says. "No respectable family in any commonly respectable neighborhood would let rooms to a woman physician. Even when friends gave her shelter a business card or sign was not allowed. The lad of practical training was really the stumbling block and the cause of nil this prejudioe." Verily, times have changed,

Give the Boys Boon.

Would you train up your boys so that they will love their home? Give them a ooxy room, even the best one if necessary, and make it pleasant with pictures, furniture, etc,, but not so very prim that they may not keep therein their own particular articles. Look more to the comfort and culture of your boys than to the occasional visitor.—Kxcb&nga

KEEP THE BOYS AT HOME.

So This by Providing Recreation In the Way of Magic, Beading and Games.

If children, as Mr. Beeeher expressed it, "are the hands by which we take hold of heaven," how necessary that we provide recreation for these children, remembering that boys will not always be boys, but men some day, and as wise a man as Goethe said, "at evening, home is the best place for man."

A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men V' besides, constant work would make dullards of us =11. "The mind ought sometimes to be diverted, that it may return to better thinking." 5

Beading and music always have honored place, and

tact

added to a good voice

or skillful fingers will keep many boys at home.

But

there are boys who are not

musical and have little taste for literature, and even people who relish both like complete change sometimes. For diversity of taste try what some games will do, advises a writer in Harper's Bazar, who makes these suggestions.

Every homemaker should have a backgammon and checker board, with their necessary accompaniments. Also a chessboard and men, the game of authors, and bagatelle, and any other of the popular games that her children and intimate friends may suggest. You are therefore provided for the different tastes or moods of your family and friends. All the above mentioned games may be purchased for a few dollars, and never would money be better invested.

The game of letters is also excellent, as it teaches spelling and quickens the intellect as well as amuses. Each letter is separately marked on small square cards. Select the requisite ones with which to spell a word, and shaking the letters together so as to well mix them give them to your neighbor to decipher.

Another good home game is called the five vowels. Having chosen sides, the player on one side will ask the one on the opposite a question in which he has used a vowel which must not be included in the answer. If the reply is correct, a person from that side may then put a question to an individual on the other side. Example: "Can you paint chickens?" Answer (without a u), "No, nor draw them." Whoever is unable to answer within 10 seconds pays a forfeit, and the opponent asks another question. The side paying the most forfeits is beaten.

Homemade Cloth Slippers.

The comfort of good warm slippers to put on winter nights, when one is called hurriedly to the bedside of a child or invalid, can hardly be overestimated by those who have to make these midnight vigils. This pattern therefore, furnished by The Prairie Farmer, will surely prove welcome. It is an easy task to enlarge

PATTERN OF

BEDROOM SUPPER.

this pattern to any desired size. The short laps at either side are intended to meet over the top of the foot and should be sewed up with stoiit thread or silk, This being done, it will be seen at once how the remaining seams at the beel and toe should be closed. The slippers may be made of heavy cloth of any kind. Some use the good portion of old pants or coats. The slippers may be bound with skirt braid and lined with flannel. These slippers are also useful to invalids who are not well enough to bear the confinement of leather boots or shoes.

Tlio Convenient Nursery Card.

From Englaud comes the "nursery card," so sensible and such a protection that every mother should hang one on the wall of the little folks' domain at once. According to Table Talk, it is like a map, 8 feet long and 2 feet wide. At the top, in large letters, is written the name and address of nearest physician and druggist. Underneath, a list of accidents most common to childhood —cuts, burns, sprains, bruises, etc. Opposite each the remedy is written. On a shelf underneath, screwed fast to prevent removal, is a box containing the advised remedies, together with scissors, court plaster, absorbent cotton, lint and bandages. How the suffering and screams of a child unnerve a mother and make it difficult to act quickly for its relief. Here, by this new method, everything is at hand without delay of searching the house for what is needed. In the absence of the mother, what a blessing and assistance to the ignorance of servants is such a guide. It is certainly a reliable friend in emergency, this "nursery card, what to do and how to do it."

Jewelry and Silverware.

A new tea strainer is spoon shaped, with double perforated bowls. The spoon with the tea inclosed is placed in the cup and the hot water poured on.

Small diamonds are never used to more advantage than in the dainty flower wreathed brooches that are in vogue.

The obsolete castor reappears in a sort of temple on one leg, with niches in which the glass bottles are enshrined like gods.

Entree dishes of polished silver {date, with beaded edge, are provided in view of the hospitable season.

Enamel studs are desired. There is a prospect of fobs being called for by women.

Fancy spoons are made with handles of filigree in silver gilt. This is confined in an outside band dotted with colored

FOR THOSE WHO KNIT

HOW TO MAKE A CONVENIENT AND A PRETTY SPOOL HOLDER.

I' Hu^XIttifeWaiiKemeDt Consisting of "Wire Taste, Baby Ribbon and a Safety Pin—It Can lie Easily and_ Cheaply

Made.

For those who crochet or knit a handy little affair is made with 14 inches of wire taste, a yard and a half of "baby ribbon" and a safety pin of medium size. Double the wire taste and wind it with thread from end to end and back again', and fasten the thread. It will make it round like a single large wire, BACK VIEW OF UNFINand it will be ISHED HOLDER. flexible, yet strong and durable. Lay the back of the safety pin against the wire so that the cap or pin sheath will come at the double end and sew it securely in place. Tack one end of the ribbon an inch from the other end of the wire, wind it smoothly over that inch, neatly and compactly covering the end and sewing it firmly through and through so it cannot slip or unwind, then wind smoothly and snugly back along the whole length, winding in the back of the pin, and fasten with needle and silk. The remainder of the ribbon is looped back and forth to form a full bow on the front side, and the end is wound two or three times around the whole in the middle of the bow and fastened at the back.

When crocheting or knitting, slip the spool onto the wire, catch the pin through the dress —just below the belt at the left side or in any handy place—and through the end of tlie wire and clasp it. The spool will pay out the thread easily and regularly, and it cannot roll away to become soiled or

However decorated, this little holder, so clearly described by a writer in The Household, will be found exceedingly useful.

AVHBhinc Flannels.

All flannels should be washed in warm soap lather, with soft water if possible, and thoroughly rinsed in clear, warm water. Soap should not be rubbed on, and care must be taken that no washing powders or washing liquors of any description are used. Instead of wringing, roll in a dry cloth, press the moisture well out, and then dry as quickly as possible. To make a lather use boiled soap. This is done by cutting up the soap into small pieces and pouring boiling water onto it over night. In the morning it will have the appearance of jelly.

The Florence Nightingale.

Harper's Bazar gives these directions: For the Florence Nightingale jacket or invalid's wrap take a yard and seveneighths of 24 inch flannel. Fold it through half its length the fold forms the middle of the back. Out the fold open one-third its depth, 8 inches, and fold the corner down squarely on each side of the slit. This gives the opening for the neck, and the corners form revers. The selvage edges below the revers are the front edges. Place three buttons and buttonholes there, the first close below the revers. The opposite selvage edge is the lower edge of the jacket. The ends of the flannel form sleeves, which are buttoned together. The edge of the sleeves is turned up after they are buttoned to make the right length. The two buttons for each sleeve are placed atfour inches from the front selvage, the lower one five inches from the end of the flannel and the upper three inches higher. The buttonholes are placed four inches from the opposite selvage, that which forms the lower edge, and the same distances from the end of the flannel as the bnttons. The edges are bound with ribbon.

Making Chocolate.

Do yon drink chocolate? If so, here Is Good Housekeeping's recipe: Melt two squares of chocolate,

And soon as you may choose. Two tablespoonfuls sugar And the same of water use. Melt together, adding, then.

One pint hot water see It bolls Ave minutes add one pint Hot milk. Serve Instantly.

Bating and Disease.

It is always desirable to have a good square meal before one goes where there is any kind of infections disease, especially in diphtheria and fevers of all kinds. I always make it a rule to go with a full stomach when I am called into the midst of infected districts. On one occasion, some years ago, I had to see in succession three very infectious cases, all most serious, in the houses of the poor. There were two typhus fever cases, and the last was diphtheria. They were in a frightful condition, and so were the rooms, and I felt as if I had inhaled the poison all through my system. It was hours since had had my breakfast. I left my carriage, jumped into a hansom and went straightway to Birch's and had a basin of turtle soup. I had no further trouble.—Dr. Norman Kerr.

Boiled Turkey.

Good Housekeeping furnishes this recipe for boiled turkey: Wrap bird in cloth oover well in hot water bring to boQ gradually and skim well simmer till tender. Serve with celery sauce.

ENGAGEMENTS TO MARRY.

Wherein They Legally DMter Frotn All Other Kinds of Contracts. It may well be doubted whether young men generally in this state appreciate the true condition of the law in respect of implied engagements of marriage. A recent breach of promise suit in Chenango county is an extreme case on this subject and furnishes afresh illustration of the legal doctrine that no express promise or formal language is needed in order to constitute a contract to marry.

The plaintiff in the case to which we refer was introduced to the defendant in December, 1885, He told her he had long wished to make her acquaintance. He was in the habit of attending the same church and prayer meetings as she did and frequently escorted her home. He also took her to public entertainments occasionally. .This went on for more than two years. In the spring of 1888, the defendant's attentions grew more marked, and he went home with the plaintiff from church nearly every Sunday and from prayer meeting nearly every Thursday evening and would often go into the house and remain with her, usually alone in the parlor, until 10 or 11 o'clock. On one occasion there was a conversation in reference to a trip to Europe. On another, the defendant talked to the plaintiff about building a house and awed her what building lot she preferred.

In May, 1888, the plaintiff told the defendant that she had heard somebody say that the only reason he went with her was to please himself and see how big a fool he oould make of her. She asked the defendant whether this was true, and he declared that it was not, saying that he had admired her from his first acquaintance with her and that he had never meta young lady whom he regarded more highly that he longed to make her happy and would always protect her. The plaintiff responded that she wanted to know whether he was true, and he replied that he had said all he could to show that he was true, adding as he was leaving, "If I live, I will make you happy."

It furthermore appeared on the trial that the defendant had more than once told the plaintiff that he did not believe in long engagements, and that the plaintiff reoeived no attentions or visits from other young men during the period in which the defendant was in the habit of visiting her.

From these facts the trial court left it to the jury to say whether or not they would infer that there was an engagement of marriage between the plaintiff and the defendant. The jury found in favor of the plaintiff and awarded her a verdict of $3,000, which has lately been affirmed by the general term of the supreme court in the fourth judicial department.

It will be observed that there was no suggestion or pretense on the part of the plaintiff that the defendant had ever in express words either promised to marry her or asked her to marry him The intent of the parties was solely to be inferred from their language, not amounting to an express agreement to marry, and their conduct toward one another.

The leading case in this state on the same subject is Homan against Earle, which arose in Brooklyn 20 years ago, and went to the court of appeals, where the opinion was by Chief Judge Church.

That great judge laid down the true rule applicable to such questions as follows: "Contracts of marriage are unlike nil others. They concern the highest interests of human life and enlist the tenderest sympathies of the human heart, and the acts and declarations done and implied by parties negotiating them are often correspondingly delicate and emotional. As a matter of law the learned judge was clearly right in holding that no formal language is necessary to constitute the contract of marriage. If the conduct and declarations of the parties clearly indicate that they regard themselves as engaged, it is not material by what means they have arrived at that state."

The application of this rule to the Chenango county case led the general term to affirm the judgment. A consideration of tlie facts upon which the jury found in favor of the plaintiff should suggest to young men that if they conduct themselves as though they were engaged they may beoome defendants in breach of promise suits whether they have ever actually said anything about marriage or not.—New York Sun.

A Royal Rainmaker.

King Lobengula has the reputation of being a remarkably good hand at making a

thunderstorm, and in this he gives way to no man. I remember one day in June —the month in the whole year in which you least expect rain—some natives bad brought a large python into camp and were singing some of their rain songs. It Is

sudden death to any native in Matabeleland who if he sees a python does not by some means or other manage to secure it and bring it in alive. The king took possesion of the reptile and said he must go and make rain. 1 laughed at this and said I did not think he could do so, to which the king replied, "You will see."

The python was skinned alive, its liver taken out and cooked, and the usual rainmaking rites performed. Curiously enough, just before sundown the sky clouded over, and soon afterward one of the heaviest thunderstorms I had ever seen broke over the place. Next morning the king asked me if a white man could make a

thunder

storm like that? I said, "No, king, if we could get you down among the farmers in the Karoo, we could guarantee yon a fortune."—Review of Reviews.

Tunnel and Bridge to Copenhagen. Copenhagen is often cut off from the mainland during a part of the winter by accumulations of ice in the great belt, and it is now proposed to make a tunnel between the islands of Seeland and Fun en, and abridge between Funen and the mainland. The t«rmini of the tunnel will be at Italskow Pynt and Kunnshaved, and Its length about 11 miles. The construction will be easy, owing to the soft nature of the bottom, and the island of Spragal will be used for ventilation and other purposes. The cost of the tunnel is estimated at 80,000,000 Danish crowns (about £1,180,000. that of the bridge, 18,000,000 crowns (£880,000), and Copenhagen will be brought two hoars nearer the continent. —London Globe.

The Hottest Spot In the East. In the eastern hemisphere the hottest spot is on tiie borders of the Persian gulf on the sooth western coast of Persia. The thermometer during July and August never falls below 100 degrees during the night, while the temperature during the day rises to 128 or 129 degrees. Little or no rain foils, and yet, in spite of this terrific beat and other drawbacks, a comparatively numerous population contrive to live there, obtaining their water supply by divers from the copious spring*

HOW LONG CAN A POTTER WORM,

-r

Interesting Statistics About His Average Age and Years of JLabor. How long can an operative in the pot

teries

follow his usual occupation and yet oontinue to retain his health? is a question often asked. We have made a pretty thorough investigation of the matter and ,ve gathered facts which will throw some jlxt on the subject:

The average, age of a raoldmaker is 84 years, and the average years of work are 21. After working 13 years they begin to decline. Twenty-three per cent are American born.

Jiggermen live 82 years and work 18. They begin to fail after 11 years of .work. Thirty-live per cent are American born.

Turners average 84 years and work an average of 17 years, and they begin to decline after 14 years of work. Thirty-four per cent of them are Americans by birth.

Handlers average 28. They begin to decline after working, 16, and 6 per cent of them had commenced to decline at the time these statistics were compiled. Fiftyfive per cent of them are of American birth.

General ware pressers reach the average age of 80 years. They begin to decline after spending 15 years in the dusty shop. Forty-nine per cent are American born.

Throwers average 42 years and begin to decline after spending 29 years upon the thrower's wheel.

Sagger makers reach the average of 84 years, but begin to decline after spending 16 years at the trade. Thirty-five per cent of them are Americans.

Kjlmnen enjoy an average age of 82. Ten per cent of them begin to decline after spending 14 years in the cheerless kiln shed. Forty-five per cent are native Americans.

Dippers average 38 and spend 21 years at work.before they commence to decline. Thirty-seven per cent of them are Americans.

Decorators average 29 years, but begin to decline after they have Bpent 13 years in the shop. Thirty-four per cent.of them are Americans. y. I

Packers and warehouse men enjoy ah average existence of 80 years. They begin to decline,1 however, after they have wrestled with the musty straw for 13 years. Sixty per cent are Americans.—Trenton Potters' Journal.

Boiled Water.

To restore the flavor to boiled water, mix air with it—that is, shake it thoroughly in a carafe or other open mouthed vessel that will yet prevent it from spilling. This takes away the flat, insipid taste that is objectionable.—New York Times.

The joints and muscles are so lubricated by Hood's Sarsaparilla that all rheumatism and stiflness soon disappears. Get only Hood's.

English" Slang.

There are fashions in speech as well as fashions in clothes. Everything in society just now is either "awfully ghastly" or "awfully charming, don't you know." If your new bonnet isn't awfully ghastly, it must be awfully charming, and if Mi^s Fourstars' singing nt the local concert the other evening wasn't awfully charming then it must certainly have In -n awfully ghastly. Pretty is no longer pretty, but pooty. the famous man milliner, has caught the trick from his duchess customers. You hear him talk glibly of pooty gowns and pooty sails. Gorgeous or deadly are the correct adjectives to use when speaking of the weather. Nowadays it is quite customary for educated people to talk of the dook. In quite aristocratic circles the final is dropped in many words. They talk of ridin, shootin, talkin, singin. I suppose the next thing we shall hear will be that they have*ceased to aspirate their h's for the excellent reason that it has become so common for ordinary folks to do so.—Pall Mall Budget.

A Timely lilt of Advice.

In these times of grip and pneumonia it is of great importance that we should know where to look for a safe and sure remedy. A slight cold may become a serious one, the scarcely noticeable pain in the chest is too often the forerunner of pneumonia. The first cough may lead to consumption (a cough is always dangerous). Never neglect a cold or cough for even one day, but get at once, as a safe and sure remedy, Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure, which is recommended on all sides. It should be kept in the house regularly to avoid delay when needed. It is sold at all the drug stores.

The Human Electrical Forces!

How They Control the Organs of the Body.

The electrical force of the human body, as the nerve fluid may be termed, is an especially attractive department of science, as it exerts so marked an influence on the health of the organs of the body, Nerve force Is produced Dy the brain and conveyed by means of the nerves to the various organs of the body, tbussapplylng the latter with tlie vitality necessary to insure their health. The pncumogastric nerve, as shown here, may be said to be the most important of the entire nerve system, as it supplies the heart, lungs, stomach, bowels, etc., with the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy. As will be seen by the cut the long nerve descending from the base of the brain and terminating in the bowels is the pncumogastric, while the numerous Jit-, tie branches supply tb heart, lungs and stomach with necessary vitality. When the brain becomes in any way disordered by irritability or exhaustion, the nerve force which it supplies is lessened, and the organs receiving the diminished supply are conuently

weakened.
