WOMAN AND HOME.

PHYSICAL GRACE IN WOMAN IS BENEFICENT SUNSHINE.

One of the World's Heroines—How She Entered Journalism Consider the Children's Tastes Some Simple Xe*8erts.

Woman In Baslncm. ,,

A perfect woman should be a chef d'eeu-v:-2 of grace and refinement, and to this end she milffc ?)e erempfc from toil. As the fcmmm form and. above all, the expression oi the face aro only the products of the emotions which an- individual oftenest experiences*, a woman can only be beautiful and graceful in person in so far as the greater proportion

Of

her emotional expe­

riences are sweet, tender and

peaceful.

This is a theory that Mr. Bain has developed with great fullness and clearness. But the emotions which toil entails in the struggle for life are violent and strong. Anger, hatred, enthusiasm, boldness, courage, these may impart strength and grandeur to the 3ndivk!^ :I, but they can never endow her with the attractiveness of grace.

The working woman grows ugly and loses her feminine characteristics. She loses what is most exquisite and aesthetic in woman. I foresee here many objections, It is man, you say, who desires grace in woman. It is but another proof of masculino egotism thus to foster idleness in woman in order that she may become that \vInch he specially desires. Do not let us dignify as a natural law what is but the outcome of masculino psychical tastes and its. I believo this to be a mistake. in woman is not merely the product of caprice and selfishness In the man who chooses the prettiest woman becauso she touches his sense of the beautiful. Graco plays afar higher role in the social and psychical evolution of humanity. It is an ever active and moral force, always beneflccnt, the fruits of which are far greater than could be produced by any labor by woman. Womanly grace and the lovo which men bear a beautiful woman have perhaps lcen the origin of paternal lovo and of all the other sweet and tender feelings of which the male is capable.

Graco is tho aesthetic side of weakness, and since man seeks this quality in woman it follows by the well known psychological law of association that the perception of grace and the sweet emotions of love becomo moro closely connected tho more psychical progress increases. Once this combination is fairly established all graceful and pretty things by reason of this law awaken tho emotion of love feebly, yet in a sufficient degreo that all protty things,, be they human beings, natural objects or artistic productions, give us pleasure, and this pleasure is only in a lesser degree a reproduction of tho pleasures of love.

But grace, as wo havo just said, is tho aesthetic side of weakness. Hence tho association between tho emotions of lovo and the perception jf graco bocomes stronger. It cxtonitfc itself from graceful things to weak things, for at certain times almost all weak tilings prcsont

themselves

to us

under tho testhetio aspect of grace, so that as tho association between these two sensations widens it becomes as association between love and weakness. Weaker creatures, for example, young children, who aro par excellence the weakest of ail boings, awaken in us a profound sympathy, which is but a rushlight in comparison with tho intensity of tho flame of sympathy which unites us to woman. Wo find then that physical graco in woman is a beneficent sunshine, calling into bloom tho softer omotions of man.

One of tho World's Heroines.

Ono of tho world's lioroinos of whom wa hear Inadequately littlo fs Miss Clara Barton. Of course in a general way every ono knows that Clara Barton represents tho Red Cross society, and her namo is associated with relief work wherever needed from whatever cause.

But it is not so well known that Miss Barton's life from early girlhood to the prosent has boon ono of indofatigablo effort in tho eauso of suffering humanity. She has been tho recipient of many magnificent testimonials of appreciation from crowned heads and high dignitaries in Europe. Queen Victoria has pinned an English decoration upon hor breast with her own royal hand. Queen Natalie has bestowed upon her tho Servian decoration of the Red Cross, and in point of fact sho has hiul much greater honor shown her abroad than in her own country—not a peculiar experience, however. Miss Barton was born In Massachusetts 64 years ago. Sho was a farmer's daughter and has been self supporting in a variety of ways— taught a country school, worked in a factory, hold a position in the patent office at Washington and has been on tho lecture platform.

Hor life has been one prolonged ministration to her fellow men, beginning with hor efforts in behalf of Union soldiers during the war. It was mainly through her parslstent efforts that the Red Cross of Geneva has found its way to America. The national society now has its headquarters In Washington city, and it is there that Miss Barton makes her homo when not afield, so to speak.

Perhaps no form of disaster has overtaken this country In tho last 80 years that Clam Barton's namo has not figured in connection with it as that of an angel of mercy and help. When In 1888 the Mississippi floods rendered thousands homeless and destitute, sho stationed herself at Cincinnati, sending out relief wisely and frugally, and wired for help in every direction.

The droughts of Texas, the earthquake of Charleston, the disasters of Johnstown, tho Beaufort horror, one and all touched the quick sympathies and felt the wise helpfulness of this truly good and great woman, whose last thought In any juncture Is self.—Mow York Mail and Express.

How Sli* Knlrml .Journalism.

Mm, Margaret F. Sullivan Is one of the best editorial writers in the country.

and

strangely enough was In this very capacity, so seldom filled by a woman, that ahe did her first newspaper work. She was A 18-year-old schoolgirl when some subject in which, aw it happened, sho was particularly interested and about which she was very well informed came up for discussion In the newspapers. She rem! the editorials which were written about lt but realised that they did not go to the root of the matter and aftrr a few days wrote her own views on the subject and sent the article to the Chicago Tribune. She did not sign her full name.

It was promptly printed and A request •ent hor for another article on the same subject. She sent one, and It came out with tho same flattering promptness. Then a note was sent asking her to come to Thf Tribune office. She went* a schoolgirl, Jr? short skirts and with her hair down bet back, and tbegrare and reverend seignior* of the U| paper were astonished wlM

they 6aw her. After they bad got their breath they said it must be a Vnistake. They wanted to see the man who had written those editorials. The young girl assured them that she had written them. Then the learned gentlemen hinted that it was worse than a mistake. That there was, er—well, they did not accuse her outright of lying, but they unmistakably looked their doubt.

The girl from school then said she would be glad to accommodate them by sitting down and writing a few editorials while they watched the wheels go round. She was taken at her word and for several days wrote brilliant editorials under lock and key, as it were, in The Tribune office. Finally the doubting Thomases reluctantly admitted that the schoolgirl was a brilliant prodigy and not a clever fraud, and from that time until a few years ago Mrs. Sullivan was one of the leading writers on the paper. She finally severed her connection with The Tribune to occnpy an equally high place on the staff of the Chicago Herald.—New York Sun, /•,,

Consider the Children's Tastes. ''What shall I make of my son?'- is a'

question often heard from the lips of perplexed parents. Perhaps the more sensible but none the less anxious query might be, "What will my son make of himself?" Before you try to make anything of a boy except to lay the foundation for his becoming a good and honorable man give him a chance to show his own preferences. In nine cases out of ten he will hit upon the right thing. We are constantly being treated to the sorry spectacle of a boy in an office poring over musty accounts who will loiter when chance permits at the open door of a machine shop, and whose greatest delight is to pore over and repair a refractory sewing machine or typewriter —anything that permits him to use his brain in studying the intricacies of machinery. I know a young newspaper man who is moro at home on an engine or in a railroad yard than in a newspaper office— at home in tho sense of feeling happy.

It was a mother who hit upon a plan early in her children's lives of giving them scrapbooks and telling them to fill them with whatever they liked best, and now the boy whoso book was filled with pictures and stories of bugs and insects and all manner of creeping things is a noted scientist in that line. I have been told that at tho tender age of 8 he would bring in a stray ladybug or some insect from the garden, build a house for it with his blocks and lovingly watch and care for it.

Another son, whose name you would all know as that of a railway magnate, filled his with locomotives and cars and driving wheels and cogs and all sorts of engines.

Give the boys, and girls, too, a chance to bo original. The scrapbook plan is worth trying. If a baby girl of four summers shows exceptional tasto in dressing her doll, foster that taste. Big salaries await persons with original ideas in any line of business or trade.—New York Recorder.

Simple Desserts.

It is a great waste of time and frequently of money for the woman who docs her own work or has only the help of ono servant to indulge in elaborate desserts. Some sort of dessert is necessary after every dinner. It is tho proper course to "linger over." Lingering ov?r cold roast and chilly vegetables would iack the charm which attaches to dallying with dessert. But because desserts are graceful and necessary for the dainty finishing of a dinner is no reason why tho cook or the mother should spend hours every day in stoning raisins and similar occupations.

A jar of preserved ginger is comparatively inexpensive, and from it may be made desserts for a family of ordinary sizo. With delicate biscuits and a cup of coffee it forms a delicious ending for an evening meal. Fruit and nuts are quite as cheap and much more wholesome than pies and puddings. Half a dozen oranges for 15 cents will make abetter dessert for six people than one pie costing 18 cents. Apples polished and attractively arranged might often be substituted for puddings and sauces.

Boiled custard Is a yery easily prepared dish, and where poured over cake which is beginning to grow hard makes a delicate dessert. Crackers and cheese may be served with tho coffeo instead of the regular dessert and aro quite as much as most pooplo care for who have eaten a substantial dinner. Figs and dates are moderate in price, easily arranged and wholesome. In fact, by a little forethought a housekeeper should bo able to furnish desserts for live days out of every seven without recourse to the cookbook or tho stove.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Woman In Business.

It is ono of the most difficult things in the world to map out a suitable and in every way satisfactory career for a young woman of the present day. The evolution of events has brought woman prominently into business circles. That she will stay there seems to be a foregone conclusion— at least sho is likely to remain there for tho present—and the question is, What is the best way for her to get along with the now situation thnt confronts her?

In most cases she has gone into business life because sho must. It was absolutely necessary for her to bo her own breadwinner* or elso to take her portion from somo reluctant hand. Unwilling to do this and unable to endure the humiliation of what has lieon for along time to many women an alternative only a few removes from begging, sho has carved out her own way and patiently and contentedly walks therein, satisfied if she can win comfortable subsistence from an always grasping and tyrannical world.

Tho great outcry that women will lose their distinctively feminine qualities once they get fairly launched Into business has proved not only false, but foolish, for the sensible daughters of sensible parents have learned long ens this that there must be no nonsensetn their dally walk and conversation, and that the deportment that they have boon might for the drawing room Is quite as useful in the office and counting house as In the social assembly. A gentlewoman never IOSJS her distinctive qualities wherever she may be placed, and whether it may beat the typewriter, the.cashier's desk or in any other of the departments of business her Innate refinement will show Itself, and early tmdMons will never leave her —V York Ledger,

A "Bed Day" For Children.

About once a month I noticed that my two strong, active children grew what WIM culled cms*.'" I determined to watch lor the cause and discovered that even the infant boy can only stand a certain amount of exercise without becoming "worn.out."

that room did look sometimes! Cut papers, toys, everything in every direction, but I knew that the little legs and body were obtaining a muoh needed rest, and what did a little clutter more or less amount to?

The next day they would be as bright and "chipper" as young robins. I firmly believe that by this plan I have warded off many a little attack of actual illness by building up the physical strength so that sickness could not take a hold. This plan I believe to be original with me, but I am not only willing to give it away to all mothers, but to send as well hearty good wishes with it.—"A Mother" in Housekeepers'Weekly.

Picking Out a Husband. "V.

For aman'8 birth look to his linen and finger nails and observe the inflections of his voice. For his tastes study the color of his ties, the pattern and hang of his trousers, his friends and his rings, if any. For his propensities walk round and look carefully at the back of his head and remember, girls, never to marry a man whose neck bulges ever so little over his collar. If you want a successful man, see that ho has a neat foot. He will move quicker, get over obstacles faster, than a man who

Mothers as Examples.

Not every mother thinks at all as she goes about her daily task, her little ones togging at her heels, that then they are getting their first character lessons and arc forming the habits of a lifetime. It is then they learn to be patient and brave or fretful and cowardly. It is then they learn to think kindly of people or to be suspicious and selfish. It is the mother who teaches good manners, and she cannot teach them by making a politic thing of it. The child is too shrewd for that. He will soon learn that he can be polite here and rude there and suit his manner to his company. But if that dear and gentle mother tries to make her little ones feel that they are in a world full of brothers and sisters —that everybody is in a sweet sense kin— why, then the politeness comes out as a flower blows and is as natural as breath ing.—Philadelphia Times.

Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson.

Mrs. Stevenson is quite small and has dark eyes, hair and complexion. Her figure is graceful and extremely quick in action, a nervous restlessness characterizing her every movement. Her hands are beautiful enough to betray discreet friends into indiscreet praise. In their formation they are as nearly perfect "as in capability and usefulness they are active. Mrs. Stevenson paints with considerable skill, writes with more than usual ability, is a clever botanist and practical gardener and an amateur engineer of practical capacity.. As a housekeeper her ability in the cuiy nary department stands her in good stead when native cooks are ignorant and imported ones unattainble.—Ladies' Home Journal.

Women of the French Salon.

Women are today clamoring perhaps moro vociferously than in any previous age of the world for their rights, and yet it is very doubtful if the world will ever again see women exercising that subtle influence that was wielded in tho French salon by women who dressed for men, talked for men and made jumping jacks of them at their own imperious wills.

Just imagine one of Marie Antoinette's "small and earlies" being attended by women exclusively, or conceive, if you can, how Mine, do Stael would have withered you with scorn if you had given her a female audience alone for her brilliant sallies. And yet Napoleon was afraid of her. —Jeannette H. Walworth.

The Sickroom.

When nursing a person who is likely to be ill somo time, move her into a sunny room and also the largest you have. Remove all ourtains and superfluous draper}' and unnecessary furniture. In sickness wear a washing gown and shoes without high heels. Remove all flowers from tho room each night at bedtime and always reject cut flowers that are at all withered. Keep all sedatives and strong drugs out of the patient's reach and if possible under lock and key. I havo known several cases of self destruction from the patients helping themselves to a soothing drug and taking an overdose.—Family Magazine.

An Able Boston Woman.

Thero is an exceedingly able woman in Boston who can report a speech delivered rapidly in German, sho first translating tho speech into English and then recording it in stenographic characters. Such celerity of thought is only approached by the tradition respecting Kossuth, who is said to have thought in Hungarian, translated Into Latin and retranslated and uttered at a rapid rate the choicest English, born of a study of the Bible and Shakespeare.— Boston Congregationalism

THE FINANCIAL END.

TRIALS OF THE BOX OFFICE MAN AND THOSE WHO WATCH HIM. M*

1

Story of the Bit of Cardboard That Admits One to the Theater—The Manager on the Boad Has to Keep His Eyes Open, Says a

Man Who Has Been Through the Mill.

There is something about the wear pnd tear of tho duties incidental to the box oface that.prematurely ages a young •pnnri. Stay by. him a single day, and you'll know what it is. When he comes to the theater in the morning and arranges his tickets in the rack and counts out his change and the advance sales on that day, it is with an air of resignation such as kings and queens used to wear just before they were carted out for execution.

There are so many tickets of various Kinds and prices prepared for each performance and duly dated and numbered and marked with a big letter or number for the day of the week. This larger designation is with the view of handling rapidly. There are drawers containing the tickets of the following days, each day by itself, and when an advance sale is made he puts the money received for it with the tickets for that day. When the day is over, he puts that tray of tickets and money in the safe for the night. The advance money is thus usually kept until the day comes around and then goes into the pile received for the night's performance.

The pecuHarity of this business is that everything connected with the box office is cash. The sales are cash sales, and if a combination show is in the house the settlement with the combination treasurer is made in cash at the close of every performance. Simply put, therefore, at the close of the day the difference between the number of tickets on hand in the morning and the tickets left unsold is represented in the cash drawer.

As a matter of particular fact, however, there ure numerous complications incidental to the operation, and the treasurer of the house and his assistant —the box office young man before alluded to—become prematurely old and abnormally smart grappling with them.

On the rural jcircuits the traveling manager is obliged to be very wary i"i his dealings with the box office man. As soon as the theater doors are thrown open to the public the combination manager or treasurer looking after the interests of the company playing in the house makes his appearance and takes up his stand at the door, where he can watch both the box office and the ticket taker. When you enter any theater where a combination is playing, you'll see this wary individual at his post of duty. He is there on the presumption that the local people will "do" him if they can. He knows all the tricks and wiles of tho box office young man and the doorkeeper and takes nothing for granted.

"Where Ijnonujce,"

He sees that every comer hands' in a ticket of some kind, and that the doorkeeper puts that representative of so much cash in tho padlocked box. The pasteboard in that tin box represents the receipts of the house, of which his company has a certain percentage unless playing on a certainty. He carries the key to that box, and if he is "fly" never lets the box go out of his sight. There is another watcher at the gallery door taking the same precaution. Of course he knows the nice box office young man wouldn't cheat him—not for the world I But all the same he is on guard against a possible lapse of conscience. "On the road," said Billy Keogli, who has had experience in the box office and as traveling manager and ought to be pretty well up in the tricks of both, "the traveling manager goes on the principle that every box, office is go ing to 'do him up' if it can. The first thing he does is to go to the theater and get his mail and 'size up' the local man. And the first thing the local man does is to get 'fly,' and if so it will be diamond cut diamond. That process we call 'jollying' begins at once. "The traveling man is always on the defensive. I^e can't beat the other man. All he can do is to prevent the box office from beating him. He must be up to the tricks and as hard as nails. You know in small towns the local treasurer gets a yearly benefit and the doorkeeper gets a benefit. So these two men will 'play* traveling companies for the benefit of their Mends at every opportunity. "The collusion between the box office and the doorkeeper is perfect Sometimes they are very sensitive about being watched, and sometimes they pretend to be indignant. The most indignant treasurer I ever met was in a place where we caught the doorkeeper, who was on the landing just above the box office, sliding tickets down a crack in the floor into the box office below. "Take a popular price house and big audiences of from 1,400 to 1,500 people, and in the rush it is hard to prevent being 'done.' If I can manage to hold them down to $10 or $25 margin, I'm pretty well satisfied. Anew pocket register has come into use that helps keep run of the admissions. You can stand at the receiver, and with your hand in your pocket count every person that goes into the house. "When the ticket seller and the doorkeeper are close together, there is the most danger, for they will communicate with each other with a nod or by signs or words that the company's representative will not understand. No, I don't think the house itself often profits by these tricks. It is considered a rule that the house is 'done' along with the trav­"Mmmmq,ukutoics.niiaM*.ilmpMrs. eling company, though this is not always the case, to my personal knowl edge."—New York Herald.

SENSATIONS OF DROWNING.

The Experiences of a Man Who Barely Escaped a Watery Grave.

When the water rushed into my lungs and stomach, it felt for all the world like a pleurisy pain, which has also given me a tussle in later years, but was over in a second, writes a man who •jvas once nearly drowned. Then my body settled quietly to the bottom, and my arms fell limp by my side. In my half conscious condition I could see all my relatives and acquaintances crowding about me and looking down on me with tearful faces. Ail the events, it seemed, of my career passed slowly in review, and the good, bad and indifferent acts stood out before me in bold relief. I knew I was drowning and remember thinking, "Why, this is not so hard, after all!"

I Wondered where my body would be found and shuddered at the thought that it might never be found. I also wondered whether or not my companion had become alarmed and run away and left me to my fate, or whether he was diving here and there to find me. Then I pictured my burial, and how the clods would resound on my coffin when it was lowered inAo the grave, and my fate would be pointed out to other boys by anxious mothers as a warning.

At the nent stage I could hear bells softly ringing in the distance, together with little tinklings and chirrups sounding in my ears. Then I began to see pretty pictures. The colors of the rainbow danced before my eyes and intermingled and formed into all sorts of odd shapes. I had no pain and no fear of what was expeoted to follow. I seemed to be enchanted at the scene before me. Everything was light and calm and moved about without any visible impelling force. It was like looking into a large mirorrwith every beautiful thing that the most vivid imagination could conjure up revealed thereby.

The last stage that I entered increased tho beauty of the surroundings. All discordant noises ceased and were superseded by the softest, sweetest music that could bo thought of. Apparently I had been transported to a place flooded with bright, calm sunshine. It was neither too hot nor too cold, but seemed like a clear autumn day. Then I seemed to rise from the ground and float off into space like thistle down. Higher and higher I went until I seemed to look down on the world from a great height, and then came a blank.

The next thing I knew I was lying on the raft with my companion looking down on me with a pale face.—New York Journal.
