name of Miss Mary Bates is a household word in her native state—California -'-.is'l her success is pointed to as the only one achieved by a woman in the especial line ,j£ work alio has undertaken—the decoration of homes for parties, weddings and funerals

In "-telling how she came to avoid the conventional methods by which a woman can gain a livelihood and adopt this original means, of support sho once said: *'I was brought up, like lots of other girls, to think that work was demeaning to womanhood. My father died when I was qoite young. This was all very well until I fell sick and ran up a doctor's bill for $300 for mother to pay. Then I said to myself, *Heo here, Mary Bates, if you haven't enough spunk in you at least to buy your own gloves and shoes for the next year you'd better die.' "So I went to work to think out a way. My friends had always considered that I possessed a pretty knack for grouping I 5 flowers and could make up a bow or a bouquefc more quickly and successfully than 1 most folks. Acting on that remembrance,

I dressed myself and went to call on a woman who stood high on the social ladder. Of course it was somewhat to my advantage that I knew such a woman, and that sho knew enough of me to give me her interested attention. But I was perfectly aware that the step I was contemplating would forever bar me from an cntranco to her homo on an equality of social standing. I said to her: 'The next party you have, let me be the decorator. If I fail, nobody will know it, and if I succeed it will be the first stepping stone.' "Well, it happened that the lady was to givo a dinner party within the next fortnight, and she gave me permission to undertake it. I went to three or four of my friends and told them they must help me. jWo made that woman's dining room and table a dream. Wo avoided conventionality and stiffness with an amazing result. Everybody talked about Mrs, So-and-so's delightful party, and my friend was kind enough to givo my nalfie to all who inquired who tho decorator mlgfit b§. Tho result was that had two calls within a Very short time to repeat my sucoess." Of bourse after this Miss Batcg'fame grew fast, and sho now has half a dozen helpers, and at tho end of seven years & good income ani! absolute Independence, »L She has ftetorcroomjm^ workshop, Also 'ltliV(5ry Wugon.

Strength In Women Fashionable.

"Thoro is no doubt," writes Mrs. Fonwlck Miller in tho London Young Woman, "that women havo a groat deal more

^stamina and strength than wo have been led to supposo. Indeed tho oontrast is groat botwoon the girl of today and tho old idea of a woman as a fragile, helploss oreaturo, and tho notion that onoo hold ground that health, strength, a good appotifco and tlje oaPfvclty to boar fatigue woro unwomanly and among the many pleasant prerogatives of tho other sox has boon more signally overthrown by tho womon of today than oven tho other ancient standing Idea of their sex's hopeless intollootual inferiority.

Dr. Gregory, in tho last oentury,

when ho wrote a manual of Advlco to His Daughters,' that was so much approved as to beoomo a toxtbook of conduct for our groat-grandmothers as girls, told them tiiat thoy should carefully oonooal tho poseossion of good health and nover talk before men of their strength and capacity to boar fatigue, for If they were thought to bo well and strong 'wo recoil from them In away they aro little awaro of.' Dear mo! How very silly those recoiling great-grand-pa pas of ours appear to us today I "Our far moro sensible young men havo learned that good health and strength of physique among women mean good temper, got*l emnpnny and a capacity to boar up tho woman's end of the log of life without murmuring at the hardship and without a final lapse into invalidism, so they do not recoil from the strong and healthy girl any nioro, and sho on her part has taken full advantage of tho change of sentiment and has set herself ccessfully to prove that health and strength really mean Increased refinement and graco, Instead of a loss of those precious feminine attributes." •Indlcton* Ugh ting. "Dining at- friend's house recently." Bays a New York woman,'4 I was conscious through the meal that the light was most gratefully arranged, and that everybody looked at her best. Finally I discovered that tho mellow radiance which was so nooeptablo came from above tho table, but ivas not shed down upon it, but up and out into tho room, while tho dinner company sat in ft grateful shadow which was yet entirely illuminating. This was managed by a large circular metal shade, suspended by metal chains In an inverted position, perhaps throe feet above tho table. The bottom of tho shade was flat and the sides tell, measuring probably IS inches,

Tho lamp wa«i a kerosene one of a single powerful burner, and the sides of tho shad©, I told, were lined with strong reflectors planned to concentrates and force tho rays up and out ta a wide cffulgencc. A circular opening in tho bottom of the abode permitted tho lamp to bo drawn down through it few lighting and replenishing, which opening, however, was perfectly closed when tho lamp was In position. permitting no (smallest ray to «**pc downward. Thl,« particular lamp, with $ts beautiful and ornamental shade of doll •metal, was a trophy of travel in the ori «nt and is not to bo duplicated for the king to do so* but the principle

single candlesticks with shades stood on the table, adding a soft color tone to the light, whose charm should be enjoyed to be fully appreciated. In summer there is no heat, and at all times there is no glare, and altogether it appeared to mo a most novel, artistic and delightful plan."

Stirring- and Beating.

Every young housekeeper should thoroughly understand the difference between stirring and beating. Many dishes are spoiled because these things are not clearly understood- In stirring the object is to combine the ingredients or to make a substance smooth. The spoon is kept rather close to the bottom and sides of the bowl and is worked around and around in the mixture until the object is attained.

Beating is employed for two purposes— first, to break up a substance, as in beating eggs for breading or for custards second, for making a substance light by imprisoning air in it. This is the case when we beat the whites of eggs, cake, batter, etc. The movement is very different from stirring. The spoon or whisk at every stroke is partially lifted from the bowl and brings with it a portion of the mate rials that are being beaten, which carries air with it in falling back.

It is not the number of strokes that make substances light, but rather the vigor and rapidity with which the beating is done. When using a spoon or whisk for beating, take long, upward strokes, the more rapid the better. The spoon should touch the bottom of the bowl each time, and the motion must be regular.

Another way to beat is to use the circular motion, in case the side of the spoon is kept close to the side of the bowL The spoon is moved rapidly in a circle, carrying with it a portion of the ingredients. —London Gentlewoman.

A Train Bearer.'

In a supposably serious account of women's patents is a remarkable one accredited to an English woman. The patent is entitled, ''Train support and train bearer for ladies' gowns," and is thus explained: "The object of this new support and bearer is to carry and to hold the train of a gown in such a manner that the lady wearing the gown may not be inconvenienced by tho train. The train support consists of longitudinal and crossbars or flat rails respectively, forming a grating or framing, which is attached to the inner side of the train by means of ribbons. The longitudinal bars or rails are bent so as to hold the train a proper distance from the body of the wearer^ the important feature of the triilx} support being that it gives the train a good hold and biakes it at the same time arrange itself in graceful folds even when the wearer takes short turns. By providing the train support with small rollers of casterg a perfect trolg bearer is produced, tho roller® carrying the grating framing and then keeping the train of tho goW!l 8 proper distance above the floor or ground."

Cry day of his life for the health of his eyes. Roller towels, family washrags and the habit of using a bath or bnsin of water a second time produce moro diseases of tho oye and oar than all tho fevers on tho list of plagues. There are 43 diseases of the oye, and more than half tire contagious. Fully 26 por cent of the sore eyes among babies and young children and 11 per cent among adults aro preventable. The most common disease, granulation of the lids, Is contagious and should be quarantined. In the surgical wards of publio and private institutions towels are frequently burned, and bandages and dressings always the moment after use. Cataract patients are put in separate rooms in isolated wards. In all serious cases surgeons change their clothes and often wear inclosed spectacles. Considering thepricelesaness of sight, too much care cannot be taken of the eyes.—New York World.

An Aid to Sweeping.

For sweeping a room neatly there is nothing liko newspaper aid. Take a page of nowspapor or other paper at a time, wet in hot water and squeezo it until it ceases to drip. Tear into picces tho size of one's hand and cast them all over the carpet. Then sweep, and most of the dust in the room, if you u«o your broom judiciously, will bo gathered into the papers. On matting use larger picces of paper, pushing them about ahead of the broom, to take up fluff, if any, before beginning the regular sweeping. Aftor a volvet or other heavy pile carpet is thoroughly swept a sponging with ammonia and water will preserve its brightness wonderfully. About once a month, after sweeping, tako a pailful of warm water, after adding thereto a tableBpoonful of ammonia or turpentine. Two spoonfuls of the latter will do good, it being a preventive against moths. Go over tho whole carpet with a largo soft cloth or sponge wrung so as not to drip. Doubtless you will bo surprised at tho rapid discoloration of tho water. If the carpet bo largo and much aolled or dusty, tho water should 1*5 changed once or twice.—Philadelphia Call.

Putting Dorm Carpet*.

When putting down carpets In rooms that are much used, it is a good plan to spread newspapers over the floors then tako clean straw and scatter it evenly over tho papers and then put your carpet down. It will let the dust through on the paper, and clouds of dust will not follow the broom on sweeping day. The carpets will last longer with this lining than with any other, and when you take them up again you will find the dust lodged on the paper, and If carefully removed to the rubbish pile you will avoid filling your lungs with poisonous dust, as but little will be found on sweeping the floors. Inputting down carpets in sparerooms, where they are not likely to be taken up very often, it is an excellent plan to scatter smoking tobacco over the paper to guard against moths and the buffalo bug. This is a sure preventive against the attacks of moths, and carpets may be safely left down in eparerooms for a number of years.—Chicag* Record. ,v .y

An excellent porridge for persons kept on a liquid diet is made from a pint of milk, a rounded tablespoonful of white Indian meal and one-half tablcspoonful of flour. Heat the milk in a double boiler and mix the meal and flour with a little oold milk. When the milk is hot, stir in the flour and meal and cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain Into a hot bowl and season. Nothing is more nauseating than a thick, lumpy gruel. If milk grttel Is ordered for a patient, make it in the same way as the above, using table-

spoonful of flour. To vary the flavor If the patient is kept on the gruel some time, boil a dozen raisins in a little wa$er and then cook them in the milk. Strain before using and do not break the raisins in the milk. The frothed white of an egg atoned into this gruel makes it very nutritious. Do not add it, however, until the gruel is taken from the fire.

Woman Builder,

A little item concerning woman's wort as a sidewalk builder comes from the Warren (Ohio) Political Equality club. It appears that a woman in Farmington town ship in 1866 conceived the plan of constructing a sidewalk from her home to the village, a distance of 2% miles. She headed a subscription list which was presented to women only, collected gnd disbursed |225 in money, besides soliciting and procuring many times that amount in work.She personally superintended the construction of bridges and culverts and assisted in the grading. The sidewalk is in good repair today and for years has been a mon ument of what one small, unpretending woman can accomplish when backed by energy and perseverance.—^oman's Tribune TM

A Soft Voice and a Pretty Foot.

"Choose a wife with a low, soft voice and a pretty foot," said a veteran man of the world to a man about to marry. "They are the only things which won't change, and when you are old you can close your eyes and listen to your wife's chatter or glanCo down at her little foot resting on the fender, and imagine you are still young. Now, a pretty figure sometimes grows spare and gaunt, or the contour is covered up by a burden of adipose. The sunny hair grows gray. Even the eyes change when .surrounded by wrinkles. The little hand grows yellow and shriveled. But the neatly booted foot may look just as it did long ago, and the pretty voice be as harmonious as ever. "—New York Dispatch.

Be Courageous.

Too many women suddenly thrown upon their own resources never look beyond the circle of their acquaintances for help and accept as charity what they might receive from a stranger as fair remuneration. The most timid woman can nerve herself to approach strangers, business men, and talk business with them. It cannot be done with a whine, but it can be done with hands olinched to hide and keep in check one's nervousness. Let the middle aged woman find out where her goods or her services are wanted, and then let her go boldly to those whom sho npeds to see, confident of the merit of what she offers arid placing herself under no obligation, for the laborer is •syorthy of his hire."—New York Times. "\v

Standing as an Art.

Tho average woman, from not knowing how to stand properly, is troubled with her skirts ''dipping" in tho back, ono of the most ungraceful features of a bad fitting gown. The best way to correct this would be to learn how to stand erect, but that is a work of time, so it is easiest to make the gown conform to the deformity. If you make your own gowns, or if you do not, see that your dressmaker makes your skirts at least an inch shorter in the back than sho does in front. Make the dress long enough to touch in front and whon you put the binding on it will bo just about tho right length all around for a Street dress.—Chicago Tribune.

Bear in that a woman who powders must look to her diet, and by all means be no niggard with her bath, for all substances applied to the face have a tendency to clog pores. Inquire very closely into the composition of the powder you use, for, unfortunately, the brands most in demand are absolutely poisonous. Starch and rice powder are the least deleterious. Powder puffs are not used as muoh as chamois skin, old linen and scraps of merino for dusting the face, yet this is all a matter of fancy, as the art of powdering well lies wholly in applying powder evenly, not only to the face, but to the ears, throat and neck.—America.

Women In the Age of Industry.

So long as government in the last analysis rested on physical force it was inevitable that the forceful sex should dominate in all social relations. But the age of militarism is passed. The industrial age is upon us, in whioh a living may be had without on the one hand the sword and the battleax, and on the other hand without the crude implements that formerly demanded masculine strength. Labor saving machinery gives strength to the weak and places women potentially on an equality with men.—Baltimore Sun.

Point For Housekeepers.

A small point for the housekeeper helpless against most of the food adulteration with which she is surrounded is that chicory 1b coffee may be detected by sprinkling suspected coffee in a glass of oold water. Tho chicory will sink, and the coffee will float Adulterated coffee, when spread out, has a caked appearance. The pure looks dry and remains loose.

For the Children.

Get a painter to finish off a section of the nursery wall with blackboard stain, buy a box of colored chalks and see what a rock of refuge you have provided for the small folks on rainy days, or on any day indeed. If the painter is not handy, sheets of slated paper may be tacked up, and the budding young artists will go to work quite as contentedly.

The Doorbell.

If the electric doorbell refuses to ring, advises some one who knows, shake up the electric jars. If that does not remedy the trouble, put more water in them. It sometimes happens that the water gets so low that the connection Is broken, and moisture is all that is necessary. Put the water in the jar and shake It up a little.

An efficient fly poison, whioh has the merit of being poisonous only to flies, is made of the yolk of an

egg

beaten up with

a tabkspoonful each of ground black pepper and molasses. It should be poured in shallow plates and

about.

Rubber gloves area great saving of time and labor over tho hands, as they keep them free from any grease and dirt likely to be absorbed when doing housework.

Sills of windows can be utilised as book •helves. They also serve as receptacles for workbaskets and paper racks. They should be draped with scarfs.

Have a bag far twine, a hag for soiled napkins, a bag for old linen, a bag for buttons of every size and a bag for silk pieces.

Jn.

r::

Men who don't care for news, or buren't the necessary funds, or lack time, or who have a newspaper in their coat pocket, or for some other reason do not wantto buy a paper, have various ways of^e^plng the newsboys. A sedate, scholarly looking man with gold rimmed eyeglasses was waylaid by six newsboys in succession ona^ after-

noon while ho walked six squares down Chestnut street. He grew tired, saying ho didn't want a paper, and not being hard hearted ho didn't like the idea of passing the pitiful youngsters without a word. A fellow who was walking behind him concluded that he had but a dollar bill, and he didn't dare get it broke, because he knew how soon thereafter it would melt away.

The seventh newsboy who offered his wares received the kind reply: "No, my boy, I do not want a paper. -1 cannot read." "Say, mister," said the little tradesman, trotting along to keep up with the strides of tho man who didn't want a pader, "say, mister, would yez mind tellin me wot you wear eyeglasses ferf"—Philadelphia Press.

Illustrated Fairy Stories.

Illustrated fairy stories area pretty novelty for simple entertainments given by children. "The Three Bears" was lately successfully given by three boys, 7,10 and 18 years old, who personated the bears that were hungry and fed on soup, and who were turned out of their beds and cheated of their dinner by that pretty little maiden, Curly Locks. The bears were clothed In skins of brown canton flannel, mado like children's night drawers, with the arms and logs lengthened so as to oover hands and feet, and witii tLe faces covered by masks representing bears' faces. Tho bears are father, mother ancf'cubj and tho baby bear wears a (Sap. tHie first scenc shows the family just before dinner, the mother knitting, the father reading a newspaper, and tho child looking at an immense picture book. When tho family sit down to their supper of porridge, they 1.11 complain that it is too hot and start out for a walk. Then Curly Locks arrives, and sho is found by tho bears when they return from their walk. There aro many other simple fairy stories that children could do very nicely without elaborate stago setting. They make very charming little home plays and givo much plcasuro without the elaboration and magnificence that wo havo seen lately in that nico old story of "Cindorella.

The Three little Kitllui.

Three little kittens in coats so gray* *. Went out with the Old Mother Catone day. Said the first little kitten, "If we ooly might see A monstrous great rat, what fun it would bel" Said the next little kitten, "I'd seize hold of his head And bite and squeeze him until he was deadl" Said the third little kitten, "Should I see a rat, I'd eat him all up in much less time than that." Suddenly something jumped out of the woodAll three turned and ran as fast as they could And never once stopped till they came to their house, Yet it wasn't

rat, but a wee baby mouse.

It was caught and then eaten by Old Mother Cat. Said the three little kittens. "Now just think of that!" —New Orleans Picayune..

Something Lacking.

A certain doctor living in the upper part of the city has a bright and observing 4-year-old daughter. She has a brother a few years older of whom she is very fond, and who for her amusement sometimes draws pictures on slate or paper. A few evenings ncro he was thus engaged and essayed to draw an elephant. He shoped the body, head and legs, and before adding the proboscis stopped a moment to look at it. The little girl had been watching every stroke of the pencil with great interest, waiting patiently for him to finish, and when he stopped and she thought he was done exclaimed, "Why, Johnnie, you fordot to put on his satchel!" For the moment she couldn't think of the word trunk and evidently concluded the other word would do as well.—Utica Observer.

Waving Palma*

Dear children, if you will turn to your Bibles and read the eleventh chapter of Mark, you will find out the meaning of this picture. Palms are for victory, you know, and when our Saviour, just-before his crucifixion, rode into Jerusalem the people acknowledged him their king and strewed the branches in his path. Little children also joined in the procession, sing-

lag their hosannaa. The late Bishop Brooks speaks in one of his letters about children in the passion play In Germany, Where Christ is represented as riding Into Jerusalem, going before him waving their palm branches and crying—

Bleated is be who cotseth in the name of tk Lord." Our picture recalls just such a soenet

They Want Names.

The Russell Art Publishing Co., of 928 Arch street, Philadelphia, desire the names and address of a few people in every town who are interested iu works of art, and to secure them they offer to send FREK, "Cupid Guides the Boat," superbly executed water color picture, size 10 13 inches, suitable for framing, and sixteen other pictures about same size, in colors, to any one sending tbem at once the names "and address of|ten persons (admirers of fine pictures)t,together with six two centstamps to cover expense of mailing, etc The regula price of these pictures is $1 00, but tbey can all be secured free by any person forwarding the names and stamps promptly.

NOTE—The editor of this paper has al ready received copies of above pictures and considers them really "Gems of Art." .*

A Countryman's Suggestion.

A countryman who boarded the fireboat New Yorker at her berth at the Battery the other day was interested to observe the completeness of her equipment for fighting fire along the river front. Her powerful pumps and ingenious arrangements for directing the streams tipon burning buildings or into the holds of vessels filled him with ad miration. Then he asked the engineer to show him the workings of the searchlight He took it for granted that there was ono and was amazed to learn that there was no electrical plant at all on the boat. This would appear to be a cu rious deficiency in a boat otherwise perfectly appointed, and it is difficult to Bee how so obvious a need could havo been overlooked in the building of the New Yorker. The countryman's discovery has led to a discussion of the need of a searchlight and may lead to its introduction on the boat It is admitted that such a light would be of the greatest value to the New Yorker in finding its way at night about among tho crowded and tangled slips. It would, moreover, make it possible to direct a powerful light upon the fronts of warehouses, to the very great assistance of the firemen. Electric lights on the boat would also be supplied in place of the old fashioned oil lamps that are now in use.—New York Sun.

I Dwarfing Bamboo Trees.

The dwarfing of bamboo trees is an important branch of the Japanese nursery business. A few weeks after tho shoots begin to grow, and when the trunks measure about 8 inolxes in circumference and 5 feet in height the bark is removed, piece by piecp, from the joint. After five weeks, when the plants get somewhat stout, the stem is bent and tied in.

After three months, when the side shoots grow strong enough, they are all cut off five or six inches from the main trunk, they are then dug up and potted in sand. Care should be taken not to use any fertilizer, but plenty of water should bo given. Cttt off the large shoots every year in May or June, and after three years the twigs and leaves will present admirable yellow and green tints.—Garden find Forest.

Useful and Ornamental.

If you have a rush bottomed chair with tho bottom "rushed out," don't send it to the cabinet maker, but fix it yourself. Take all the cane work out md put in its place two thicknesses of heavy canvas. If the wood is hard, you must bore the holes for the small nails at least half through. Double tho canvas under at the edges and lay a piece of leather over it, into which the nails should be driven. Then tfeey will not cut the cloth. Then make a fancy cushion and tio it to the four corners of the chair. It will be useful as well as ornamental.—Washington Star.

Money Is Tight.

And when was it ever otberwi&e? The oldest man cannot remember. People are grumblers—all grumble—ministers and laymen complain. Well, then, "tigies are dull, and money is tight," but haven't you got enough to buy a bottle of SOZODONT, to keep your teeth clean, and mouth sweet, and help you enjoy life?

Money may be tight, but it is nothing to SPALDING'S GLUE. That's the tightest tbing out.

To Elevate the Sex.

Comforting.

Patient—Well, doctor, how's my lung? Doctor—Pretty fair—it will last as long as yon live.—Hallo.
