A DOCTOR'S OPINION OF WHAT IS IDEAL EXERCISE FOR WOMEN.

•picking Out a Husband—"A Serious Proposal to Ladies"— Keep tlie Rabies TFarm—A Gould Baby's Bassinet—Teaching: Children—A Remarkable Little State.

"The ideal exercise for women who haven't time for gymnasiums?" The doctor repeated the question thoughtfully. Then she smiled. "Housework is not a fcafl substitute," said she. "Armsand legs are exercised in sweeping the muscles of the back are strengthened by the slight tending and rising in bedmaking the ehe.st is expanded by the broadening motion of the arms in dusting. And, as the windows should all be wide open in the bedrooms find rooms where cleaning is in progress, the worker has plenty of fresh air. Yes, housework is an excellent exercise. "Of course ihervare women who haven't time for either gymnasiums or housework —women who

sit

at desks all day or over

typewriters or sewing machines, women who stand in stores and work in factories. There area great many of them. I wish they could be made to know the value of walking. Of course that will not develop their arms or necessarily expand their chests. But walking and drawing in deep, long breaths, expelling the air slowly ,-ifter each inspiration, will do more for ibeir lungs and chests than quarts of oil and mustard plasters galore. It will give them appetites for dinner it will invigorate and strengthen them it will help to render them impervious to colrl it is absolutely necessary for the preservation of their health to walk briskly, with shoulders well thrown back and head erect, after their long day's imprisonment. "For something which will develop all the muscles—well, the evening walk plus the inorningswinging of dumbbells or Indian clubs will be enough. An exercise which seems to take some of the stiffness out of the body is this: .Just before one gets into bed let her hold her hands, the fingers touching, as high above her head as she can. Then Jet her rise slowly on her toes I the greatest possible height, and then bend forward from the waist, not moving the knees, to see how nearly she can touch the floor with her hands as she swings them forward. Arms, legs, chest and back all get some slight exerciso from this, and that detestable aged feeling which creeps on after the day's work is banished. Sometimes one's muscles seem stiffened. That means the beginning of decrepitude. Keep them limber. That's the secret of eternal youth."—New York World.

ricking Out a Husband.

Girls, you don't want a man whoisafraid of good, honest work, and there are lots of them who are. You don't want to have to spend the very best of your youth in living to reform a man

or shield

who

a

him, so that

you will not become claimant for the pity of your friend-. You don't want a man

is st ingy, and what girl wiih two

grains of sense, i* not. sharp enough io discover this trait '.u the lovers? Neither do you want a spendthrift. You don t, \,. nt a jealous husband, for he is about as dangerous to live with asu lunat io. YMU don't want a dandy, who curls his hair, has his nails manicured and uses a face bleach, Riid you wouldn't believe how many such specimens are Hoatiug*iround in good society. You want

a

whole smiled, lovable

gentleman. He must—now take out your memorandum book—be courteous to the aged and kind to the little folks, tho sort of a fellow who knows that a girl loves flowers and sweetmeats, but who is not such a fool that he would pawn his overcoat. to get them—the kind of a chap who disdains to fall into rhapsodies over every pretty women he meets, who realizes that life is not a joke, but who in his seriousness is never depressing. He must, bo gentle, sympathetic, honorable, just, with enough romance about his makeup to save liiiu from being prosaie, and, above all, he must be so situated in life that he can attempt the role of hoiuemnker without fear of being

dismal failure. Where will such

paragon be found? Keep your eyes wide open. If you do not meet him, take my advice and join the sisters who prefer single bliss to wedded wretchedness.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

"A Serlou* Proposal to Ladies." Really there is nothing new under the nun. Even the doctrine of woman's rights is not at all a nineteenth century idea, as the reformers would have it appear. Two centuries ago there lived the woman who was the tirst advocate of woman's rights. This good lady's name was Mrs. Mary Astell, and she published her theories in a little book called "A Serious Proposal to the Ladies For the Advancement of Their True and Greatest Interest, by liover of Her Sex."

This book was printed in lt94, and therein the good lady implores women "not to be content, to be in the world like tulips in A garden, to makealiue show and be good for uothing She also says that women •alue men too much and themselves too little, and that they "should bo capable of BobW things than the pitiful conquest of some poor humau heart, for a woman should always remember that she has no mighty obligation to the man who makes lore to her, she has no reason to be fond of being a wife or to reckon it a price of preferment when she is taken to be a tnnu'a upper servant.'' Ye gods ami little fishes, to think that radical seutiment was •written ii(H years ago: And what a glorious woman's club president Dame Astell would have made if sho were alive today! And still the foolish mind of woman seems ever bout on "the pitiful conquest of some -poor human heart," for which the gods be thanked, else how would there be any woman born to prate ami prattle of the rights of their sex?—New York Sun.

Keep the Babies Warm.

A professional nurse of many years' experience tells me that she finds more babies suffering from insufficient clothing among the rich than among the poor. For example, she was summoned by a physician to a wealthy family where the •-months-old baby was suffering from some mysterious trouble that baffled everybody. He could liv« only a few days, the doctor said. If somethiugwas not done. He could keep nothing on his stomach and was slowly starving to death. The nurse found a distracted mother and a pinched and moaning baby. His fh?sh was blue, and there was a settled look of anguish on his face. The ntirs*e picked him up the silk and laeo of his costly cdb Ur.v.ui just what she expected ~dre«* and -ktn of linen as fine as gfts^amer •. warm, ahirts and HW 5*.-n. skirls of the rogulainai fine and thin as to give "Is this the way you have baby from the first a-k. "Oh, «», I've alway* had t!:e in or

"Well, it's no wonder Le is sick. He hasn't enough on to keep a fly warm in Jujy." The nurse called for the thickest blanket in the house and a hot water bag and gent the astonished mother down town for the warmest flannel wrappers, however ugly thev might be. The result was that in a few days the child was taking his food perfectly and was thriving as well as could be desired.—Babyhood.

A Gould Baby'* Bassinet.

Mrs. George Gould went all the way to Paris to buy a layette for her first baby. It was made of hand loom muslins, convent sewed and trimmed with narrow but fine lace. Mrs. Edwin Gould and her mother, Mrs. Dr. Shrady, weut to the Women's Exchange, and her order gave 40 American women in reduced circumstances from one to three weeks' work. The little garments were as beautiful as they could be, not trimmed, but made, and the needle women were well paid for their cunning skill. English nainsook was used throughout, and instead of elaborate embroidery the hems and seams were invisibly stitched, and the tucks were hairlike in width. The little lace used on the yokes and cuffs was real valenciennes and cost 20 cents a yard. About the only piece of extravagance in which this sensible girl wife indulged was a shell shaped bassinet, with a lofty canopy,curtained and flounced with rose colored silk and point d'espritlace. The little mattress, made by a woman, was tufted with babjr ribbons, the pillow was filled with curled hair, picked until it was as soft as moss, and the cambric sheets and pillow cases were probably finer than any handkerchief Jay Gould carried in bis early manhood.—St. Louis Republic.

Teaching Children.

The new svstem of education by which a child's interest is sustained and his ambition awakened has, together with its many obvious advantages, very real dangers, which the old dry as dust methods were at least free from. However wearisome a task under the old regime, there was certainly no danger of overstimulation or undue tension of the brain. In these days of high pressure, when every possible effort is made to excite intelligent, interest in the pupil, it is only too easy by the so called successful methods of the day to produce a kind of mental excitement which is extremely hurtful both mentally and physically. Fancy a mother of the period 'actually saying in good faith, in speaking of a well known teacher: "Miss X. is wouderfully successful with her scholars.

They simply love their work, and their progress is something extraordinary. When I remember how I used to hate study when I was a child, I cannot sufficiently admire the present methods. Why, my Elsie thinks of nothing but lessons, and she gets so excited over her books that she is unable to sleep, and I have to give her phenacetine to quiet her." St.. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Remarkable Little State. Among the colonial possessions or dependencies of Holland there is a remarkable little state which, in its constitution and the customs of its inhabitants, surpasses the boldest flights of the advocates of women's rights. In the island of Java, between the cities of Hatavia and Samara ng, is the kingdom of Bantam, which, although tributary to Holland, is in other respects an independent state, politically without, importance, yet happy, rich and since time immemorial governed and defeuded by women. The sovereign is, indeed, a man, but all the rest of the government belongs to women. The. king is entirely dependent upon his state council, composed of three women. The highest, authorities, all state officers, court functionaries, military commanders and soldiers are without exception women. The men are agriculturists anil merchants. The king's bodyguard is formed of amazons, who ride in tlio masculine style. The throne is inherited by the eldest son, and in case the king dies without issue 100 amazons assemble and choose successor from among their own sons, the chosen one being then proclaimed lawful king.— Brooklyn Eagle.

A Little Fun at Home.

Do not be afraid of a little fun at home. Do not shut up your house lest the suu should fade your carpets, and your hearts lest a laugh shake clown a few of the musty old cobwebs that are hanging there. If you want to ruin yoursons, let them think that all mirth and" social enjoyment must be left at, the threshold without when they come home at night. When once a home is regarded as only a place to eat, drink and sleep in, the work is begun that ends in gambling houses and reckless degradation. Young people must have fun and relaxation. If they do not, find it at their own hearthstones, they will seek it at less profitable places. Do not repress the buoyant spirits of your children. Half an hour of merriment within doors and merriment of a home blots out the remembrance of many a care and annoyance during the day, and the best safeguard they can take with them into the world is the influence of bright home.—Christian at Work.

A Hint to American Girls.

I am convinced that if some neat handed girls, instead of becoming ladies' maids, were to set up as morning hairdressers in towu they would very shortly fiud the occupation a most lucrative one. In the small French as well as German towns, to say nothing of Paris and Berlin, these hairdressing girls abound. Even women of the jKwrer bourgeoisie, if not adepts at arranging the hair, are waited upon every morning to have their heads neatly turned out. I am told that in Berliu an ordinary "frlsir-madchen" receives 10 or 12 shillings a month for attending on a lady every morning. The more accomplished ones are paid at a higher rate. The very market women aud laundresses in Paris and Madrid have exquisitely dressed heads, whereas even in the upper classes here a really smart coiffure is at once remarked upon.—London Qneen.

Mr*. W»ll*ce'i Romance.

The long and happy life of Mrs. Lew Wallace is, it seems, founded upon a pret ty romance. General Wallace was but 19 years old when serving his country in the Mexican war. A comrade talked much of a certain Susan Elston, who lived in his home town, Crawfordsville. Ind., and young Lieutenant Wallace in consequence became enamored of a girl whom he had never seen. As soon as he left Mexico he jotirneyed to Crawfordsville, made Miss Elston's acquaintance, and three years later they were married. Mrs. Wallace is described as slight and of medium height, with regular features and beautiful brown hair, which is now tinged with gray. She has been all her life an omnivorous reader, and at her best is a witty and brilliant conversationist.—New York Letter.

W»nataf the Bouse.

The hot air heater Is superior to other methods of warming the house in that ail the air conveyed into the room is fresh,

the air, as it becomes cooled, finding an exit through the doors and windows, or if there are open fireplaces they do excellent service in drawing off the chilled air from the floor level. But there are so many poorly constructed heaters admitting gas to the rooms, or of such thin iron that they soon burn out, that they are somewhat in disfavor. Very frequently, too, the heaters are too small for the house they are intended to

they are forced far beyond their capacity, the air being burned before reaching the tooms. It is far better to place a larger heater than is actually required in the house and secure the desired amount hot air with a low fire.—Household News.

A Sure Cure.

It is told of Hannah More that she had a good way of managing talebearers. It is said that whenever she was told anything derogatory to another her invariable reply was, "Come, we will go and ask if this be true." The

Children's Shoes.

Shoes for children should bo selected with more regard for comfort than service A good fit does not imply largeness. There should be an excess of sole leather in length but sufficient snugness in the quarters to prevent slipping. The toes need and must have room, but by having the heel, ankle and arch snugly dressed the foot gets support and power to resist fatigue. Athletes insist on these points in starting for a walk or race. Parents make a mistake in ordering wider when longer shoes are required. Until they stop growing children need a half size longer every tune they get a pair of shoes.—Shoe and Leather Journal.

Dress and Complexion.

Every woman who is ambitious to look her best should have a list for private consultation of trying colors. Each complexion has its best and its worst possibilities. Most persons can wear dark blue or green, for instance, but very few can wear dark red. It is wise to accept one's limitations and dress within them. If peacock blue is unbecoming, and it usually is, why should women make guys of themselves by donning it? If white is the kindest ally, why not choose white whenever it is possible to have it?—New York Telegram.

Living Love.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends ard d'ead, but fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving and cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can bo thrilled and made happier by them. The kind things you will say after they are gone say before they'go. The flowers you mean to send for their coffins bestow now, and so brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them.—American Woman's Journal.

Ballot Girls.

In France the ballet girl begins her career usually at 7 years old. She is then paid at the rate of 40 cents for each appearance in public, as a demoiselle de quadrille $20 to $40 a mouth, as a coryphee $50 to $60 and as a sujet §60 to £120. A dancer of the first class will get from $120 to $300 month and a star from t"5,000 to $10,000 a year. The average English girl will not work hard enough to at vr.i:i the highest excellence as a dancer.—I'.iris Herald.

Croup.

For croup the best thing to do while waiting for the doctor—and it will often make his arrival merely a formality—is to put lard ou a cloth and sprinkle with mustard and apply quickly to the chest. This will not blister and acts promptly. Doses of sirup of ipecac used with this will relievo almost any case, of plain spasmodic croup, and the physician will tell you how to look after the baby the next day.—NewYork Times.

Ironing Old Silk.

In ironing old silk do not damp it at the moment, but at least an hour'before. Sprinkle it thoroughly and roll it up as tightly as possible in a towel. The iron Bhould be tried on a scrap of the silk first. Silk varies in quality and thickness, and an iron which is too hot for one cloth is just right for another.—Exchange.

She Invented a Gridiron.

Mrs. Monachesi, who won the second prize of the New York Society of Ceramic Arts for figures, and whose porcelain pictures are attracting much admiration, has Invented a gridiron which, it is said, will broil steak and chops more satisfactorily and economically than any other gridiron made.—New York Advertiser.

A Woman Screwmaker.

New York has a woman Bcrew manufacturer. Her name is Mary Cleary. She lives in a cozy Bleecker street flat and would rather prowl around a big hardware stock than go to the grandest opera that ever was sung or the finest collection of pictures that ever was hung.—New York News.

How to Make Beds.

One of the rules impressed upon the mind of the chambermaid bronght up in France is, in making beds, the under sheet must be well turned in at the head of the bed and the upper sheet well tucked in at the foot. This rule is thoroughly sensible. —New York Mail and Express.

Miss Dittweiler, who was for many years one of Queen Victoria's personal attendants, is always invited over to spend her Christmas at court. She retired a few years ago to Carlsbad, her native place, but is never overlooked as the season of Christmas comes round.

CHILDREN'S FEEDING.

NOURISHMENT NECESSARY FOR GOOD C4 TEETH, BONES AND MUSCLES.

roo Profuse a Use of Superfine White Flour Sows the Seeds of Debility, Dyspepsia and Deformity and Checks the Development of Brain and Nerves.

From nothing, nothing comes. If children are to have good teeth, bones and muscles, they must be fed on food which contains an adequate supply of nourishment for the above structures otherwise they are half starved and are quite sure to be troubled in aftej life with decaying teeth, contracted jaws, crooked spines and legs and delicate muscles. In an article in The Tribune not long ago it was represented that the teeth of the American and English children and young people are becoming more and more defective. We have not to look far for the chief cause of the decaying teeth which often crowd the poorly developed jaws of the rising generation.

Today our children are fed largely upon bread, cakes, pie crusts and puddings made from the finest white superfine flour, which can be ground or rolled and bolted from wheat and rye. A careful analysis of these grains shows that immediately beneath the hull lies the dark portion of the kernel, which is hard, firm and very difficult to grind or roll into a fine flour, and more or less of it is quite sure to remain in contact with the bran, and in bolting the rest of it is mostly separated from the fine flour. Now, this dark portion thus disposed of contains in excess the very substances required to nourish the teeth, bones, muscles and brain—namely, the gluten and phosphates—whereas the central or white portion of the grain contains an excess of starch, which is easily pulverized and by bolting gives the superfine white flour.

The superfine white flour is composed of an undue portion of starch, which where in proper proportion, as it exists in the grain, is useful in supplying heat and fat producing material, but it does not coutain enough teeth, bone, muscle, brain aud nerve nourishing materials to sustain animal life for any considerable length of time. Consequently superfine white flour will keep in barrels and bags for a long time without being disturbed by insects, worms or must, whereas the unbolted meal will not keep for any great length of time without becoming unpleasant to the taste. Magendi, one of the ablest physiologists who have ever lived, demonstrated by experiments that animals fed exclusively upon the finest superfine flour died in a few weeks, whereas those fed on unbolted flour thrived. During the study and practice of medicine for over 30 years the worst cases of scurvy I have ever seen occurred in a girl 5 or 6 years old, who for some weeks would eat nothing but toast made from superfine flour bread. I only rescued her from death by requiring her mother to mix mashed potatoes with the flour from which her bread was made.

Imperfect development of the teeth, bones, muscles, brain and nerves is the inevitable result which follows if children are fed largely on superfine white flour cooked in any form, and deformity,-dys-pepsia and debility in after life. If parents care for the present health and development and for the comfort of their children in after life, they should never let any superfine flour or bread or cakes made from such flour enter the house where their children dwell. It is difficult to imagine the immense harm to the present and rising generation which is being done by the use of superfine white flour, aud the whiter the poorer it is. It should be banished from use, and it is being banished steadily by intelligent and liberal minded people who are not slaves to habit and fashion. I have known a man when traveling to walk a mile to get a loaf of eraham bread rather than eat white In cad. To those who have been accustomed to eat graham bread, cakes, etc., white bread is tasteless and without substance and altogether unsatisfactory.

Wherever people live on ttafcolted wheat or rye flour or meal they good teeth, bones or muscles. I well remember, when in Egypt in 1884, at Thebes, the little Arab girl who, with a vessel of water upon her head, ran over the sand, stones, rocks and hills as we rode upon our donkeys to visit the tombs of the kings, for she had splendid teeth, sparkling eyes and a beautiful and well developed waist, symmetrical in form and graceful in every movement. On a visit to the house of our Arab dragoman, or guide, to look at some curiosities which had been obtained from the tombs of the ancient Egyptians, we saw two women grinding at a mill and making the kind of flour which that young girl ate.

There were two millstones, perhaps 18 or 20 inches in diameter, standing in a tray, with an opening through the center of the upper one for pouring in the grain and at opposite sides erect handles. The women took hold of these handles and turned the upper stone arotind and around and back and forth, and the flour, or meal, came out between the outer edges of the stones. 1 said to our guide: "We have not had a bit of good bread in Egypt, for at the hotels at which we have stopped they think that they must furnish superfine flour bread for foreigners to eat. Now, I want you to make us a" loaf of bread from that flour and bring it to our hotel tomorrow, and I will pay you for your trouble." He did so, and it was the best bread we had in Egypt.

It is wonderful to see the improvement in health, development and vitality which frequently ensues with delicate, sickly children and even old dyspeptics, who have been living largely upon unbolted wheat or rye flour bread or pudding. But if the stomach and bowels hre weak from the want of proper nourishment, or if they are irritable or inflamed, then for a limited time, or until they gain strength and health from the use of this more ngurishing food, it is necessary either to sift out with a coarse sieve the coarsest of the bran from graham flour or to obtain flour which has been ground from wheat which has been hulled before grinding, which can be had in some of our cities. If this caution is not heeded by those beginning the use of graham or unbolted flour, it will not infrequently, in the cases named above, prove too irritating at first and its use abandoned and condemned, but for strong, healthy children and adults this flour, bran and all, is just right, as the Lord intended it.—Dr. John Ellis in New York Tribune.
