A Delicinui* Way to Cook Shad.

The human body is the most beautiful ol created objects. It is stronjx, delicate, supWe and graceful. Thin applies pre eminently to th female form, but while woman BeemK to he satisfied with the way God made the tra", flowers and animals she is not satisfied with the way he made her body, so she Keeks to improve perfection.

She trusts God to shape and plan the universe, but not her body, for while he put a sufficient number of bones iuside her body to hold it erect she forsooth must supplement them with a layer of bones outside to change and improve the outside of the figure. So we have that abomination known as the corset.

History tells us that as nations have grown wealthy and .extravagrant, the people giving thunselves up to excesses of all kinds, the coiset has been laced tight and even tighter ad the climax of frivolity approached. The consumption of corsets in America, not including those imported, is •aid to be 00.000 yearly. What does this argue for the state of morals in our country? It is said that national dress keeps pace with nat'onal history. Both begin in simplicity'an.i end in voluptuousness.

Tight lacing has been one of the high water marks of the self indulgent period. The body, when incased in stiff bones or tight lacing of any kind, is incapable of graceful motion, healthful exercise and ability to perform the work of life.

The "Venus of Milo," the acknowledged standard of beauty of form, has a waist about twice the girth of the modern belle, and the undulating lines and curves of the statue flow into each other, revealing great refinement of curvature and imperceptible gradation.

How different is the corset made form, •with high, square shoulders, waist like an hourglass, hips extremely prominent, an artificial and ungainly attire!

If your horf-os, cattle and dogs were subjected to the umel treatment young women inflict, upon themselves, the newspapers and the oflicers for the prevention of cruelty to animals would be on the tracks of the guilty parties. But why should women exhaust their vitality by injurious modes of dressing? "Oh, it's the fashionl" comes the reply.

But what is fashion that her laws should be obeyed in defiance of all the laws of beauty, fitne.st., true grace and health? Tf she declares that woman shall wear a hump at her back, wide crinoline skirts trailing in the dust or a waist like a wasp, there seems to be no resistance. The plates and fashion papers of the day represent only oaricatures of the female form.

The corset curse among women is more

YOUUK Women In I"

Over 20 years ago thelloni or British and American Young Women was founded in Paris. Miss Leigh, whose name is known throughout the world in connection with the institution, lias been the wifeof a Canadian archbishop for some years, but has never lost her interest in nor stopped her labors in behalf of the work.

Since its establishment the home has befriended over 7,0 K) young women, taking care of them in city where unprotected young wonn are in much danger and providing many of them with employment through its iv„'ist rat ion bureau. It is open to all respectable English speaking girls in every class of life without distinction of creed. The work is branched as follows: 1. A home for daily and unemployed governesses. 2. For young women apprenticed in shops. 8. For ladies' maids, nurses, etc., seeking situations. 4. Sanitarium. 5. A free registry for those who are seeking situations

The home is situated at 77 Avenue Wagram in Paris, and a letter sent to this address announcing young woman's arrival toy a ec rtain train will insure her being met at the railroad station and t#ken to the home. Brandies are Governesses and Artists' institute, 18 line de Milan, Washington House, formerly 1"3 Faubourg St. Honors Young Women's Christian Association and Home. ',V Faubourg St. Hon ore.

Most of the young women aided by the society are well connected orphans, often of military and naval oflicers, or of professional English speaking men. This fact should encourage any gentlewoman of slender means going to Paris to pursue any vocation to copy these addresses for possible reference and refuge in a day of need,— Paris letter.

Women Seen Through London Spectacle*.

Women cling to the idea that they are all born sain! and angels, and that men hold a monopoly of evil, from which it ia the proud du of their mot hers, sisters and wives to rescue them. They do not choose to believe that really bad women can cxiM tn their own class of lifts. They only reeog ntae the fact of their presence on earth at all as belonging to quite another sphere, upon which it is easy and best to turn one's back entirely.

It is time tuat this cuckoo cry of the goodness and purity of woman should cease. Women are no better and not so very much purer than a—that is, if you take them en masse, for he very degraded are just as much typos (v- the very noblest and best. The goodtu-s. »f man is just as important as the good tK of woman, only somehow the world ha* ost sight of that fact lately. And the gowl -sa of both can only be attained by a ci«ir and accurate knowledge of their faults and potentialities for evil.

Therefore it is time that we should C*-HM |o strain at guat and swallow a camel. We must lea- judge fairly and behave without prej- ice to condemn a vice and toe tender to t.uo sinner above all. to have patience with -hose who preach a new re form, even ,n their seal, they oversttp the precise brands of speech which weonrseiveet may consider correct and self controlled.

An 1838 Ball Drm

aunt: "I went to the ball and enjoyed myself very much. Perhaps you would like J(i0. know how I was dressed. I bought me a hiihop's lawiv dress at 70 cents a yard (it was a very nifce piece), and got Miss Aimira Bradley to nnilce it. She made it Grecian bodist and leg of mutton sleeves plaited down. She'said that ruffled sleeves were entirely out of fashion. 1 had a piece of pink gauz^riobon tied in a bow at the bottom of, the plaits, and apiece of the same tied around my waist and tied in a bow at the point.

chief trimmed with a narrow lace edging. I wore a thin flannel petticoat and a thick one, with another cambric muslin one over that. I had on a pair of worsted stockings and silk ones over them. I had my hair curled at the barbers. I had to sit still two hours to have it done. I went to the ball at 7 o'clock aud got home at 2. Miss Sarah Hildreth was the belle. She looked very beautiful. She had on a satin dress with a figured blond Over that, aud a black mantilla. Her blond dress was so long that it dragged seven or eight inches.'*—San Francisco Argonaut.

The Future Woman.

Mrs. Theodore Sutro, the well known society woman of New York, has the following to say about the "woman of the future:" "She will not wear trousers. On the contrary, her garments will be prettier, and she herself will be, if that is possible, more effeminate, more gentle and tender than she is now. Why? Because she will realize, by being all these, that her power will be increased in a corresponding ratio. Woman's rights are invariably associated in a man's mind with the loud voiced woman, the woman without little personal vanities, the woman who is indifferent to her appearance, who wears big boots and would like to wear high hats and make other incursions on his wardrobe. "He is the reigning power now, and looking at things irom his point of vision can he be blamed for not wanting to abdicate in favor of any one so unattractive to him as this person? There will be more marriages for love in her day than there are now,

the reason that natural selection will replace convenience. She will be qualified for work, and not fearing it will not marry for support She will be able to provide for herself, and when she marries it will be because she loves the man, because be is congenial and sympathetic to her and will not retard her mental and moral development. She will be fearless and frank and will have the courage of her convictions."

Delicious Way to Cook Shad.

a

Take a large' dripping pan and stand it on the range. Put into it a heaping tablespoonful of well clarified beef fat or suet. Let it melt till the bottom of the pan is well greased, so there is no possibility of the fish sticking. Now take a fine roe shad, "split for broiling, dry it well on a coarse linen cloth, sprinkle it generously with salt and lay it out flat in the pan with the skin side of the* fish oh top. Stand in a hot oven and let it cook until the skin seems to be puffed up in blisters and is just & nice binwn and crisp, when you may know it is done.

Have a platter larger than the fish quite hot: Stand it on the kitchen table by the side of the dripping pan aud quickly turn the shad from the pan onto the platter, just as you would turn an omelet from a pan. It will come out nice and whole, the roe and the entire fish being as perfectlyjdone and quite as delicious as planked shad. Serve with pieces of lemon and garnish with parsley.

The advantage of cooking a shad this way is that all the juice and flavor are retained and no odor of cooking fish spread through the house. Try, it and you will never cook a shad any other way. It is delicious.—New York Herald.

Women Miners In India.

The women, in spite of their marriages at 14 and 15 years of age, were strong and well set up and in manner perfectly gentle and modest. Each was dressed exactly as she would have been for any other occupation, though her cloth and sari were perhaps a little dirtier than they would have been in a less grimy calling, and each wore a mass of bangles and anklets, some of them very interesting specimens of barbaric silver and bell metal work. Save for a little pause of curiosity to look at me and my clothes, they worked steadily on, pushing forward the

heavy

trollies, which, when

laden, weigh about eight hundredweight. One or two had requests to make of the foreman as he went by—in general these being trifling things, such as taking half a day's leave or some little point about the land they held—but the general quiet, good order, discipline and respect were all points that impressed me much. The few questions which I put to them about their hours, which are only eight a day, their food and amusements, which seemed largely to center in the. big bazaar of Sunday, were straightforwardly and frankly answered.— Bengal Cor. London Graphic.

Floor Coverings.

In using denim for floor coverings lay it over padded paper, which will make it look much heavier than it really is and will also deaden the noise that results from too flimsy a floor covering. I saw this material used with excellent effect in a really handsome din'n room as a background for very largo eastern rug that was laid in the center of the room. If one does not choose to pat a floor in order by staining or painting a border, use the denim, matting or ingrain or brussels filling in plain colors. If One large rug is used, it is quite unnecessary to cover the entire floor with any of these materials, except it be the matting. One advantage in using the denim is that it can go Into the washtub and renew its cleanliness and what beauty it has as often as one chooses.—New York News.

For the Bath.

A delightful preparation for the bath and one that is good for softening and whitening the skin is made from oatmeal, pure ca«ute and Italian orris root, powdered. The soap is powdered and mixed with the oatmeal and orris root and put in small bags of cheesecloth to be osed in

£st

'lllf '--ii-'

ace of a sponge. Enough of the bags to a long time may be made from five pounds of meal, half a pound of soap and a pound of orris root. Make as many bags as you can from a yard of cheesecloth, cutting them about four or five inches square and stitching them tightly. Fill the bags loosely and sew up the other end. Dip in warm water when you use one.—Chicago New*.

WHO

Discontent Dispellers.

How much woman's interest in everything about her, which is a part of her lutter day religion, improves her physically is a frequently commented upon fact. The fresh complexioned, keen eyed woman of 45, alert and interested, is a common sight today, but only a short time ago that age was looked upon as almost if not quite hopeless. Says George MacDonald in one of his novels: "I believe that many women go into consumption just from discontent—the righteous discontent of a soul which was meant to sit at the Father's table aud cannot content itself with the husks that the swine eat."—New York Times.

At Home Days.

If women would ouly realize how disappointing it is to go along distance to call upon one and then find the one they desire to see "just gone out," there would be more who would set aside some particular day each week upon which they would be at home, have that day understood by all their friends and above all things make ita point to stay in upon the appointed day. And a call seems so much more homelike and cheering if a cup of chocolate, glass of wine or tea and some light cake are in readiness.* Try it and see if you and your friends are not both better satisfied with each other.—New York Commercial.

The Blissful Onion.

There can be no successful dinner without the aid of the leek family. Every soup, every meat course and every sauce and dressing, whether for fish, flesh or sa1 ad, needs the flavor of the onion. This blessing is easily disguised, but the professional cook keeps the secret. Two drops of onion juice in any cream soup instantly kills the starchy, pastry, nursery taste. One drop will lift a sauce or a cream gravy out of the common. Rub the bowl with a leek or a slice of onion and the tamest salad, red or green, has sap.—New York Telegram.

In Behalf of Baby.

Do not discourage the baby from using his muscles because of rumpling his clothes or even taking the shine off your furniture. His little limbs are worth more to him— and perhaps to you, too, when, mothers, you are old aud have to depend on them— than, the polished legs of your table. Litr tie girls have to play an all important part in their life, especially when they come to work for another baby life. So do let the girls have some muscular development as well as the boys.—Detroit Free Press.

Cries of Sick Children.

In the crying of sick children there arc many peculiarities which when differentiated lead to correct conclusions about their ailments. 'In pneumonia and capil­

lary

brouchitis, according to a medical paper, the cry is moderate and peevish and muffled, as if the door were shut between child and hearer. The cry of croup is hoarse, brassy and metallic, with a crowing inspiration. That of cerebral disease, particularly hydrocephalus, is short, sharp, shrill and solitary.—London Tit-Bits.

Chat Hglps Digestion. )l:

Serious, gloomy and cross people should eat alone. A man or a woman with a scowling face and a savage temper will give every child and sensitive adult about the table indigestion. Deep thinking or preoccupation of mind retards assimilation and digestion. As a rule, meal times are dull times. Foods are eaten too rapidly, tak£n into the stomach ouly partially masticated and often forced down with drafts of ice cold water, which weakens the action of the gastric juices.

Fainting the Uly.

The mother who decks her debutante daughter with diamonds is more ambitious for show than sensible. Youth is a girl's highest jewel and needs no sparkling setting other than the flash of clear eyes, the gleam of white teeth, the sweet, sunny smile, with a soul behind it. Painting the lily defaces it, aud diamonds on a young girl seem to suggest that her chams need enhancing because she is not in herself satisfying.—New York News. tv £.

A Thought For Parents.

Each one of us is bound to make the little circle in which he lives bettey and happier. Each of us is bound to se« that out of that small circle the widest good may flow. Each of us may have fixed in his mind the thought that out of a single household may flow influences that shall stimulate the whole commonwealth and the whole civilized world.—Dean Stanley.

A Hair Receiver.

A hair receiver may be made of white linen, embroidered in some slight design, fined with wash silk and folded to a triangular shape, then overhanded together. .If the maker chooses, it can be punched for eyelet holes aud laced together with a nar row silk cord. This enables the quite necessary taking apart, and frequent washing. —Exchange.

In the selection of a petticoat everything depends upon the hips. A girl witfr hips wants a yoke to her skirt, and the slender damsel will look well built if all her skirts are cut wide and fastened with* drawstring.

An exquisite window drapery is of fine silk dftTT""»k in flower-de-luce designs in shades of gold,, with the under curtain of rich silk in iridescent colorings of mauve and nile green caught up in horizontal folds.

After ironing linen place it near the fire or in the sun until perfectly dry, as the garments will be much stiffer than if left to dry slowly. This hint is especially useful with collars, cuffs and petticoats.

A mother should keep herself in perfect, sympathy and close touch with her young daughters, being indeed their nearest friend, and until marriage no one should be allowed to come between them.

TO PIANOFGRTTE PUPILS

Items of XinpgM&lice to-AllWho Want to .t Be

com ^Successful Performers.

It is auxosing how some look at the ^keyboard after th§y iniSs the respective "key. Fapils ought to b6 tatight early to jump distances'' withoutlooking." And, "toother thing, successful jumping depends on the steady position of the hand. It is the arm that does the "jumping," not the hand. The angle between the hand and the arm must not be changed during the operation. A slightly outward position is of advantage. In my opinion, says a writer in The Etude, "jumping" exercises ought to be performed first on black keys and in octaves.

Playing scales with both hands two or three octaves apart is also very useful in order to become familiar with the relative distances on the keyboard, v-

The authority quoted says every pnpil knows or ought to know the different positions of the hand used in playing—the low (on the white keys), the high (on black), and the two oblique (the thumb covering a black, the fifth a white key, and vice versa). When you have to change these positions, it is useful because easier to that do gradually. This is done by sliding the fingers toward the keys that have to be struck.

Furthermore, in all places where one hand has to jump, while the other does not, take advantage of the first leisure instant to jump long before you have to strike, and that as quick as lightning, to place your hand over the right key ready to strike then, and not before, the other hand that has only to "walk" moves to its proper place. Or, in other words, the jumping hand should always move first. A proper use of the pedal often allows the hand to jump in good time where the value of the first note seems to forbid the removal of the hand.

Our next item is an easy way to learn the notes or to learn note reading. Take the treble part of some piece and write it down in the bass clef or the reverse. Beginners ought to be taught both clefs at the same time, starting from the center and counting up to the fifth line of treble, then starting again from the center and going down to the first line of bass. Learn to write notes first by thirds (lines or spaces). Recite the musical alphabet in this order—c, e, g, b, d, f, a, c, and back. Then come the leger lines above fifth lines in treble—viz, a, and then those below first lines in bass—viz, e, c, a: then the spaces b, d. and d, b, g.

An early teaching and writing in the three positions of the seven fundamental triads—ceg, dfa, egb, fac, gbd, ace and bdf—is also of great help.

A Special Room For Sewing:.

The wise housewife is she who would rather dispense with a reception room and have a sewing room than vice versa. The sewing room does not need to be large. It must not contain carpets or uphostered furniture. The floor should be stained and varnished, so that the daily brushing up may be easily accomplished. There should be hooks on the wall, from which the piecebags should hang. Several shelves are necessary, where boxes containing buttons, trimmings, findings, patterns and the like should be kept. A lapboard, an armless rocking chair, a dress form and a big closet for unfinished work are other necessaries. The machine should be placed in a strong light, and there should be a long mirror in which the "hang" of a skirt may be viewed with ease.

A Variety In Breads.

A variety in the simple wheaten loaf of bolted flour is raisin bread. This is simple—a wheat loaf to which a cup of stoned raisins are added, when it is molded up and put in the pan to rise the last time. It is nice hot for supper. Swedish bread is made by rolling out light bread dough to about the thickness of half an inch, rubbing it well with softened butter, sprinkling it with sugar, grating nutmeg over the whole and adding about a cupful of well cleaned currants to a large loaf. Roll up the sheet dough after sprinkling these ingredients over it. Let it rise for half an hour in a well buttered pan, rubbing a little softened butter on the outside of the loaf. Bake it in a quick oven for about half an hour. Serve it hot for tea. It is hardly necessary to draw attention to the excellent apple kuchen of the Germans, which is really a kind of cake, or the delightful hot apple bread of Baltimore, which is made with a layer of apple sauce between layers of dough.

R. Hi Patoo, 613 Walton Ave., N. Y. City, writes: "I have u«ed Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup for years and find it the most efficacious remedy for coughs, colds and laryngitis I have ever tried."

A Well Worn Bond.

A curiosity in the shape of a Delhi town bond for $500 was turned in to tin town treasurer a few weeks ago. It wat punctured so full of pinholes as to be almost unreadable, and it bore other evidences of hard usage. As soon as its genuineness was determined, however, the money was paid on it, and a county official made an investigation. Its late owner finally admitted that he had carried the bond for years pinned fast to his undershirt, and that as he changed his shirt quite frequently the bond had become full of pinholes.—Delhi (N. Y.) Letter.

White Girls' Marriages With Indians.

Of the two New England girls who attracted notice a few years ago by wed fling Indians, one, Nora Belle Fellows, the former schoolteacher, has found life unbearable with the Sioux Chaska and has left her husband. Tl^ other, Elaine Qoodale, the poet, found life on an In dian reservation unbearable mid has come east with her husband.

A. UNIQUE MURDER TRIAL.

Brutal Way In Which .a Woman Protested Against Her Uuithaiid's Infidelity.

A murder trial, believed tobe unique in the crimlnal history of this country, terminated in the Liverpool assizes last week. Margaret. Walker,,aged 53, had many peculiarities, but the one which brought her into trouble was her objection to her husband carrying on an illicit amour. Her duty, judged by the British standard, was to protest, and if remonstrance failed to suffer in silence. Mrs. Walker, not being made of submis sive material, confined herself to th former course, and she protested with such vigor that she is now a widow and an occupant of a condemned uiurdererV cell. It cams about in this way:

Her husband last summer imprudently renewed certain relations with a woman of whom his wrife had long been jealous. On returning home Mrs. Walker gave him a good thrashing, and as that did not convert him she in a masterful manner hustled him up stairs, chained him to a bedpost in the topmost room of the house and kept him there to the day of his death, which was Nov. 16 last. During the four months of his captivity he was visited and thrashed every day by his,strong willed and strong nerved spouse. There were several lodgers in the house, and they heard the man's cries every day, but got used to them and never dreamed of telling the police.

Finally, on the morning of Nov. 16. Mrs. Walker finished the novel disciplinary course of treatment by battering in her erring husband's head with a massive steel chain. The doctors said the man's body was a mass of wounds and bruises.

The murder, brutal and revolting as it was, would not have attracted much attention had the victim been some long suffering wife. What strikes the public imagination is that a woman should dartto kill her husband in such a masculine fashion, and that it is possible for. a human being in the second city of the empire to be kept a prisoner for four months and slowly done to death. Mrs. Walker will probably be hanged. The judge, in sentencing the woman, warned her not to hope for mercy.—Liverpool Letter.

Nonconformists Make Trouble.

A correspondent says that the nonconformist farmers of Wales, in order to convince the government of the necessity for the early introduction of a bill for disestablishing the state church there, are again refusing to pay tithes. They have adopted Irish Land league methods of resisting and assaulting the sheriff's officers, barricading houses and even indulging in moonlighting. It is not miprobable that the military will have to be called upon to assist the civil power. The Tories are arranging for anew campaign iu Wales by flooding the country with orators and literature in the interest of the state church.
