MOTHERS OF MEN.

"THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROGRESS OF TH% WORLD.

The Reign of Woman Ik Also the Reign of Man, but the Reign of Man I» the 8uljjligation of \Vuinan —The Average Woman's

Xife Is Now Too Flat and Simple.

The mother of Tcsla made churns and looms, and so exercised her brains ine•ehanicully, while her husband preached -and served the church as a priest. Behold the result. I am profoundly convinced that we have suffered a'loss beyond imagination to conceive or language express 1)3' keeping woman in the narrow routine •of housework. She is mother. She is maker. She it is who stamps the babe •with prenatal bias. She touches tho souls she bears with lire of genius or the tanieness of platitudinous routine. Tenia's mother was a maker, a schemer, an inventor. She was fortunate in that her husband was the slave of tameness. The consequence is a boy that lias burst the bounds of Slavic speculation and idealism and lias -even corne to the front of Saxon inventors and discoverers. A Slavic orator reproached his people that they had never been able to invent so much as a mousetrap. But Tcsla is the leader of the age of electricity. He has even surpassed for brilliant originality our Edison. I am convinced that this illustration is of very wide application. Our mothers are cooks and washerwomen and housekeepers. It tells on the bnlws. We must first sec to the fountain, then to the stream—tho stream of humanity. What wonderful -care should 1m? taken of the motherhood!

All civilization should bend to tho purpose to furnish the future generation with powder giving mothers. Even the father is of less importance—much less.

John Stuart Mill said that if people ever -came to bo highly moral it would be when they camo to fully understand that a single udt by a man or a woman might cause untold misery for ages to come, and that •one might blight by a single sin her own child's eternal prospects. This subject of hereditary influence !. is been studied very much moil? thoroughly since Mr/ Mill, and it Is eoncded that tho amount of freedom that a person enjoys Is modified and directed by 1 he actions and character of jmrents to a degree never realized until this era of scientific investigation. But the weight of testimony goes more and more to show that tho mother is the real maker of the child. I do not, however, •care so much to speak of individuals, but of the general fact that you cannot raise tho average tone of a people much above tho mother's. Educate hem, inspire them, and the sons come into tho world with a propulsion for that which is noblo and a necessity in them to do something worthy -and great.

The average womim's life is too flat, too niiitplc, too 71111011 occupied with the tamo and common. 1 am not inclined, however, to urge any further attempts at public speaking—the rostrum age has fortunately waned. We wire less for actors, less for talk. The typical men are no longer Clays -and Websters, but Edisons, Tyndalls, lluxleys. These are men that push the world -ahead in knowledge and achievement. But they ait rare. They should abound. When one looks over a common crowd or over a community of people, tho startling fact is that so largo a part are nobodies. I do not mean that they aro merely not distinguish «d, but that they are insignificant—mere •echoes in the world. Take out one-tenth of the people, and the nino-tenths would barely make a living. They would do no fresh thinking and no investigating of the unknown. Problems would nevor be solved, rarely even known to exist. What twaddle makes up ordinary conversation! Or, even worse, what vulgarity! 1 believe this is not a necessity that tho ninotenths might bo the people of power and thought and originality, Tho key to this situation is with our mothers. But tlioy cannot turn the lock for themselves.

Mew England, by a lino education of mot herhood in theology, succeeded in creating a race of theologians. Every woman in Mew England in tho eighteenth eontury could discuss the wholo'body of divinity as well as men could. They had equal privileges and used them. Both sexfcs went together to church and the prayer meetings. The Mew England school for intellectual wrestling was in tho church, not in tho schoolhouse. Tho result was an equal capacity of tho sexes to dispute over election, grace, the future state, free will and decrees. Such women Imre splendid men. Tho Mew Englanders made America Intellectually. That, sort of education has passed away. Equality now is demanded and largely obtained in tho common schools and colleges. Women can graduate at universities. But when a woman is married custom drops her into a crack. She Is intendiHl henceforth to keep a house In order. "The-predominant Idea is sexual. That hers is the intellectual force to shape the future la not comprehended. Men have long since fallen into the liablt of forming associations and clubs. Women's clubs we must have—not cooking clubs, but clubs for Intelleeuml work. I say it bluntly, our women rarely think clearly, rarely spend time on high problems to enable them to advance opinions worth listening to.

It will pay to let the whole force of society bear in the line of making a race of grander mothers.

4

Mothers,' said Napo­

leon, 'make France." He saw this to be the greatest of truths. We do not yet see it as a people, not yet, but wo shall come to see It and act on It, The reign of woman is also the reign of man, but tho reign of man is the subjugation of woman.

But let us bear in mind all along that the only unperverted force in community is motherhood. While not exalted, not inspired as it should be, it is not degraded, or when It is degraded tho whole family life tumbles into a wreck with it. There is in the function of life bearing a salvation which lias preserved us from tho worst results. What I plead for is the greater appeal to motherhood. Let us have the best use of this best of human offices.— Mary EL Spencer in St. Louis Globe-Dem-oorat.

Woman** Xecd of Physical Culture. Concisely, my thorns are those: First* woruen are physiologically capable of attaining the same standard of health and ordinary

power

of resistance as men. Sec­

ond, to* moot the present demands upon their strength In the struggle for exist tQce women must aim at the cultivation of all their powers. Third, without this preparation the women of the future will not secure true social equality- The present superiority of staying power In men gives them the advantage in tho greater number of professions and trades. Fourth* the reputed arrested development" of women is the outcome of custom and not a law of nature. Thus men and women start with an equality of chances, but the chance* aro lessened for women by a difference of environment.—Geoffrey Mortimer in Humanitarian.

Teething Babies."

Mothers must use judgment and not give Baby Brown a baked potato because it agrees with Baby Smith.

Babies that are slow teething will bo benefited by calcarea carbonica. Get the sixth decimal trituration and give a pinch of the powder about as big as a small pea twice a day. It should be purchased only at a reliable homeopathic pharmacy.

For the rash that sometimes afflicts teething babies, especially if it bo of a dry, scaly nature, try a piece of sweet butter the size of a hickory nut in every bottle of food for a baby 6 months old or over, not to be given, however, more than four times a day. In a majority of cases a baby docs not require food oftener than four times a day. This may seem a heroic remedy, but it has been tried in a number of instances which have come under my personal obsci-vation with astonishing results and is the remedy prescribed by one of New York's first physicians.

Suppositories and enemas should never be used in cases of constipation except as a last resort or at the advice of a doctor. Try first to regulate the bowels by the judicious use of fruit. A quarter of a nice Greening apple scraped very fine and given before breakfast, half of. a sour baked apple with a very little sugar at noon, or two or three stewed prunes, with the skins taken off, may be given in the morning, or a tcaspooiiful of juice from a sweet orange. When all these fail, a sirup of figs well stewed and strained will generally prove efficacious.

The diarrhea that accompanies teething, if taken in time, can generally be regulated by the food. Rice cooked in milk, rice water mixed with the milk, boiled milk and such simple remedies are better than medicine. Much harm is

done

by checking

too soon a slight looseness of the bowels during teething.—Philadelphia Times.

Mrs. Stowe's Childhood.

One of Harriet Bccchor Stowe's early teachers was John Pierce Brace, who excelled in teaching composition. In "Stories About Favorite Authors," it is told of him that ho gave his pupils thorough training in this art, and that when Harriet was 11 years old she was appointed one of the writers for the annunl school exhibition. Tho subject was a difficult one, but sho wrote lier composition. Tho compositions were read aloud. 'A-uiong tho gentlemen on tho platform was her father, Rev. Lyman Beecher. "When mine was read," says Mrs. Stowe, I noticed that father brightened and looked interested, and at the closo I heard him say: 'Who wroto that composition?' 'Your daughter, sir,' was the answer. "It was tho proudest moment of my life," adds Mrs. Stowo.

When she was 7 years old, her older sister, Catherine, wrote: "Sho Is a very good girl. Sho has been to school all this summer, and has learned to read fluently. She has committed to memory 27 hymns arid two long chap tors in tho Bible. Sho has a very retentive memory and will make a good scholar.''

To Do Up Handkerchiefs.

To have your handkerchiefs always looking like new ones wash and iron them after tho following directions: After they have been washed and brought in dried from tho line, instead of sprinkling them for ironing, as you do tho other clothes, put two quarts of water in a bowl and squeozo six drops of bluing into it from tho bluobag. Then tako a piece of raw starch tho size of a pigeon's egg and dissolve it in .tho water, being careful that it docs not settle in tho bottom of tho bowl. Take each handkerchief separately, dip it up and down in this water two or three times, squeeze it as dry as possible with tho hands. Then, when they have all boon dipped in, lay them out smoothly in a towel and place them in tho clothesbasket.

To Iron them lay them out flat on tho Ironing table and smooth them on both sides. After this mako a fold 2 inches deep across tho handkerchief and press it in lightly with tho iron. Then mako a fold tho other way across the handkerchief just as they aro folded In tho boxes when you buy them. By laundering them in this way handkerchiefs will look quite now as long as they last.—Now York Herald.

Dress Hints.

Some of Edwin Russell's laconics on dross are: High collars destroy graceful conversation.

Diamonds decrease in beauty as they increase in size. Jot is wicked. Tired good women should never wear jet.

Gloves aro worn too much. Kid gloves make wrinkles in tho face new ones because of their newness old ones because of their want of respectability.

Largo persons should not lose sight of their advantages. There are good points In being big—power and grandeur.

Avoid black. Dress objectively and not subjectively. Women are larger natured in light colors.

Do not wear selfish clothes. A crude green dress Is Its own worst enemy. As you grow older wear lighter colors. White Is intensely spiritual gray, in a lesser degree, also spiritualizes.

Give. Hafoy Water.

It seems strange, but true it is, that there are yet in existence young mothers who never give their young babies a drink of water. Water Is as necessary to a child's well being as good food and its bath. Two or three times a day tho baby should l6 given a drink of water, say a tablespoonful at regular intervals.. Try tho littlomite and see how ho relishes it. Furthermore, It will, if given at regular

Intervals, k(rp

the bowels in good order. The other day, by the way, a prominent physician was called in for a severe case of vomiting and sore stomach He prescribed a tablespoonful of water and one of milk to bo taken separately every hour. His patient laughed, but had tho good sense to obey, and, sure enough, in a few hours she was wnll enough to get up and attend to her work. —Trained Nurse.

Thumb Sucking Children.

The writer knows a woman whose mouth is greatly disfigured from sucking her thumb as a young child, and, further, th** her chest is contracted and her figure spoiled from the same cause. Mothers and tfaose in charge of children are apt to federate a trick just to keep the children quiet at the moment, but they should realize fully the harm that is being done for life. —America.

Table Expenses.

number of housekeepers put their heads together and made an estimate of the average cost of a table supplied with food of the best qualify. Two dollars and a half per week for each person they admitted as ibe lowest estimate, and this necessitated close buying, allowed few luxuries and no waste.--

SATURDAY

CHILDREN'S COLUMN.

1?'^ The Boy Trooper. At nearly every drill of Troop A, the swagger corps of the New- York national guard, a 12-year-old boy in smart uniform takes part in all the exercises. In wrestling on horseback, in the melee and in the pursuit he manages to hold his own with the older boys in spite of his small stature. As a horseman he has no superior in the corps. His nlucky riding and his capital seat make him a show trooper,

and

he has become the envy of his

already

less

brilliant

comrades by the way he goes through the evolution of the trooper's drilL He is the most diminutive soldier who ever donned the uniform of cavalry or infantry, and his name is Paul Fuller, Jr. He comes of a distinguished family. His father is a prominent lawyer and a member of the firm of Coudert Bros. Frederic R. Cou-

I

a

dert of the firm is his uncle. When Troop A gave its annual review, the visitors went into raptures over "Baby," who acted as an usher. He was in the full uniform of the cadets, riding boots, saber and all, and the tiny guardsman won more hearts than all Ills taller brethren put together by his gallant conduct and his soldierly bearing. One evening the sergeant in command called him to the front. Ho introduced him to the captain, and Paul's face blushed crimson with pride. His little hand went up to his fatigue cap in soldierly salute, and he rode back to his comrades as proudly as over did one of Napoleon's old guard with the cross from the great general's hand. He now bids fair to become tho commandant of tho cadets before his t.imo of service is over. Every member of tiie troop takes delight in petting him. Every cadet feels proud of their latest and brightest recruit.

But it is down in the stable that "Baby's" sway is most undisputed. Here is his favorite lounging place every day after school duties are over, and.tlio grooms and stable boys all swear by him. Hois just as great a favorito with the horses, who know that lumps of sugar are plentiful in the tiny trooper's pockets.—New York Journal.

Boys' Speeches.

At one of tho big privato schools for boys over in Brooklyn there is a debating sooiety which meets once a fortnight and discusses various questions of public interest. At one meeting capital punishment was the subject presented, and the young lad upon whom tho duty of opening the meeting rested was somewhat embarrassed over his position.

When the meeting was called to order, however, ho promptly stood up and began, "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, the subject which Ave are about to discuss this evening is'onoof the most vital importance to everybody in this room," but he never got any farther in that sentence, for he was greeted with cheers and laughter that effectually interrupted him.

Of course the young speaker did not mean to imply that every ono of his listeners was In danger of being hanged or electrocuted, but what lie said sounded like it, and so they laughed.

Another boy speaker at another class debating sooiety got himself laughed at, too, once when ho stood up to talk about General Grant. Ho was very much embarrassed ,and frankly confessed that he was able to say very little.

4'But,''

he add­

ed, "if I wcro to say but .three words, I should wish to make them a continuous eulogy upon Genoral Grant." That boy is a gray haired man now, but he and his friends still laugh at his continuous three word eulogy.—New York Times.

Mother Ooom Partiea.

Mother Goose parties for the small people are enjoyable affairs. Plenty of amusement is provided for the Mother Goose characters, who come In every guise belonging to these ever popular nursery tales. When refreshments are served, a pretty idea Is to have the creams, ices and sweets molded in the form of favorites famous In rhyme, such as "Old Dog Tray," **Puss In Boots," "Cinderella and Her Slipper," "Cock Robin," etc. .*£•

BIGGAR'S DRESS SUIT.

Tbe Thrifty ParnellKe Who Walked Bather Than Fay a Penny. Talking of the speaker's dinners to members, at which, in oompliment to the official position of the host as representative of her majesty in the house of commons, levee dress or uniform is worn by the guests, I was once told a funny stdry of the late Joseph £iggar, the thorny tempered deformed little bacon merchant who was the aristocratic, refined Parnell's first ally and for some time his only follower in parliaments#

Biggar was not a poor man, but He was a thrifty one, and he hated the idea of spending money on a court dress. Yet Mr. Parnell liked his party to appear at the speaker's dinners as asserting their privileges of parliament. So Biggar undertook the irksome expense of hiring a court suit in which to go to dine with the speaker. The man who told me the story, another member who was not dining officially that night, was in the habit of going home with Biggar on the top of the last tram— they lived near each other out Lambreth way somewhere—and on this night the quaint little form of Biggar appeared in his smart, trim dress, sword, paste buttons and all, without even an overcoat, to go hor:?, as usual.

His companion remonstrated, but in vain, nor would Biggar even consent to ride as far as the tram would have taken him, but got down, as was his custom, at the extreme point to which a penny conveyed him and walked the street thence to his rooms. His companion went so far as to offer to pay the extra penny out of his own pocket, but Biggar refused sternly. He was savage at the foolish expense to which he had already gone and would not have even a penny more made of it.

A man capable of such indifference to costume has a right to remonstrate about feminine attention to dress, but few are those men!—Mrs. Fenwick-Mil-ler in London Graphic.

The Dutch System.

Professor Peabody, who gives in The Forum eome facts concerning the Dutch system, says there are no great poorhouses and few ablebodied paupers in Holland. There is a tract of public land containing 6,000 acres. It is divided into six model farms, and to one of these is sent the poor person applying for public relief. If he voluntarily serves till he learns agriculture, he is allowed to rent a small farm for himself and be what is called a free farmer. Every pauper who is thus reclaimed tp honest, regular industry is so much .gfex to the state. There is also a forced labor colony, where beggars and vagrants are sent and made to do farm and other work, whether they want to or not.

For Sleeplessness.

If persons troubled with sleeplessness would keep at hand a bottle of the following mixture and use it as a sponge bath, they would find the greatest relief: Into 8 ounces of alcohol put 2 of ammonia and 2 of camphor. Shake thoroughly, and when well mixed add 4 ounces of sea salt and enough hot water to fill a quart bottle. To apply it pour a little of the, liquid in a shallow dish, moisten the whole body a little at a time by dipping a small sponge in it. Rub on only a very little, then finish with a vigorous rubbing with a coarse crash towel. GeHnto bed, and you will promptly fall asleep.—New York Recorder.

A Scrupulous Censor.

When Rome was under tho papal power, a play was once submitted to the prelate charged with the revision of manuscripts for tho press. In the first scene an actor is represented as sitting at a table and calling, "Waiter, a beefsteak." The scrupulous censor wrote In the margin: "Note—When the piece is played during Lent, the actor, instead of calling for a beefsteak, will order an omelet."—San Francisco Argonaut. 'Space.

When in fine, clear weather we have a deep rich blue above us, it is caused by a haze.

THEY COOKED UNSOAKED RAIN.

And by the Aid of Lightning and Snow Blade a Satis&ctory Meal. ''Perhaps one of the most peculiarly prepared luncheons ever laid before hungry people was one which we had when we were snowed up in the theater of a small western town,'' said a theatrical man to a reporter. "Upon this night in the brief interval after the people left the theater, while we were dressing to go to our hotel, a terrific Knowstorm, such as you can only find In the west, came up. The snow drifted against our doors and all about the streets, so that we had to remain all night in the theater. Of course we feut hungry, as actors will sometimes do, and we began a search for something eatable. "We prowled around the property room and were about to give up in disgust when one of the company struck a box of beans, which were used to imitate the sound of rain. By shaking the box a stage rainstorm could be produced! We took this 'rain,' as the profession is pleased to call it, but saw no way of cooking it. Some one suggested that the Vthunder' might be a good thing to cook "it upon, in lieu of nothing better. The 'thunder' was a sheet of tin or iron which was shaken to make the roar of heaven's jirtilleiy. We bent the 'thunder' so that it would hold the beans, but were at a loss for means for producing heat. Our property man suggested that we use 'lightning,' a powder of lycopodium, used for making flashes upon the stage, for the fire. We found quite a lot of this, and with the addition of some 'snow'—little bits of paper used to represent the beautiful—westarted quite afire and succeeded in cooking the beans, which we ate with a relish. Resolving into stage parlance, we had used 'thunder,' 'lightning' and 'snow' to cook a lunch that consisted of ,'rain. —Pittsburg Dispatch.

Trees Five Thousand Tears Old.' The oldest as well as the most inter esting botanical monuments now growing upon the earth are the baobab or sour gourd trees of Africa. This remarkable tree has a short branching trunk which seldom attains a height of over 70 feet, while its diameter is often as great as 80 or 100 feet. Adanson, the naturalist who gave the genus its botanical name, calculating from scientific data, says that the ago of some of the oldest of these trees is little if any short of 5,000 years. The hollow trunks of these forest giants, which are often of a rapacity sufficient to furnish room for 40 or 60 bodies, are used as tombs by tho native Africans, who suspend the remains of •'•heir departed friends and relatives on hooks fastened upon tho interior of suoh trees for that purpose.— St. Louis Republic.

The Human Electrical Forces!

How They Control the Organs of the Body.

Tho 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 tho h-mllh of the organs of the body. Nerve force Js produced by the brain and convoyed by moans of the nerves to the various organs oi :no body, thus supplying the latter with the vitality necessary to inyure their health. The pneumogastric nerve, as sliown here, may bo said to be the most important or the entire nerve system, as it supplies the heart, lunss, stomach, 'jewels, etc.. with the r.ervo force necessary to Weep them active and healthy. As will be 6een by the cut the long nerve descending from the base of the brain and terminating in the bowels Is the pneumogastric, while the numerous little branches supply the 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 conweakened.

cnuently wi Physicians

ysfcians generally fall to recognize, the Importance of this fact, but treat the organ itself instead of the cause of the troublo The noted specialist, Franklin Miles. M. J)., LL. B., nas given the greater part of his life to the study of this subject, and the principal discoveries concerning it are due to his efforts.

Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine, the unrivaled brain and nerve food, is prepared on the principle that all nervous and many other difHculties originate from disorders of tho nerve centers. Its wonderful success in Curing these disorders is testified to by thousands in every part of the land.
