When Mrs. Jacobi handles a question of t«: public health or Mrs. Josephine Shaw Rus-F«-ll of public charity, when Mrs. Alice Lincoln faces the Boston charity commissioners .-tmi carries the day, nobody complains that these Ituiies lo not know what they arc talking about. The only criticism is tlnit tliey know it too well. Once make it plain that, the question afc issue is one involving the moral element or the\mmane element, there is no complaint made that women do not interest themselves in it. No matter where they learned their lessons—it may have been in the nursuries of their own children or in that pre nursery period devoted to paper dolls—at any rate, they have learngd it somewhere and can hold their own. One reason is that their life is necessarily, even in the most limited sphere, a work of details.

It is invariably found that when women are placed on public boards they immediately begin to apply the habits they acquired in housekeeping. Now, inasmuch as the functions of public boards are really a kind of housekeeping on a large scale, this is undoubtedly the very best thing they can do. When itcomes to borrowing money on a large scale and incurring a debt— which is sometimes the very thing that needs to be done—women are doubtless less ready and fearless than men. When, on the other hand, the important thing is to find out your precise municipal income and live upon it, women are greatly aided by the habits of their whole lives. Their acquired tendency will be to accept the situation, to distribute fairly among the various departments and in general to cut the coat according to the cloth.

Instead of proving reckless and profuse, they turn out to be prudent and cautious, dealing with each bill as if it were their household account with the family grocer. Every one who has had occasion to serve with women on public boards or charity organizations is probably familiar with this trait. It is a ouality which, while in some respects discouraging as to enterprise, is, on the whole, a safeguard. Women being unused to risks or bold ventures, such enterprises seem a little more intimidating, on the whole, to them than to men. Their memory for small details, too, is more formidable than that of men, and then perhaps they keep diaries!

The late Miss Abby May, when a member of the Massachusetts board of education, could at any time send a thrill of anxiety through tho board by quietly taking from her pocket a certain inexorable little red memorandum book. It will be found in almost any American city, on comparing the lists of officers in the charitable societies of fifty years ago with those of today, that, whereas they found it necessary to begin with having men as treasurers, women now usually keep these financial affairs in their own hands. This results in a detailed accuracy which is heroio and sometimes pathetic.—Colonel Higginson in Women and Men

Bringing Up Iiittle Ones.

Every mother, of course, has her own peculiar method of bringing up her little folks, and there ia not one in the land that could be induced to acknowledge that by any possibility there could be the slightest flaw in her especial plan. When, however, an outsider Bees a group of well trained children it is but natural to praise the system that produced such pleasing results.

A mother whose little brood is the admiration and envy of all who see them told the writer that she believed thoroughly in making her children helpful from the time they were old enough to understand the meaning of the term. "And," she went on, "th at does not presuppose a very advanced age, for a baby is quick to pick up ideas of all hurts, and when it is hardly able to speak plainly tho little duty of Ailing the salt cellars becomes an affair of great import, because it sees that tho work it does actually relieves some one else of the responsibility of remembering it."

The wise mother gives each of her children, boys and girls alike, some certain part of the domestic work to perform each week, allotting a different one to a new task at tho end of seven days, thua sagely eliminating the monotonous element and working in a great fund of general knowledge in the pleasautest manner possible. The dressing of dolls is not only a pastime, but tho tiny frocks are made on the exact plan of wearable models, aud in this way dressmaking is learned.

Study is made a privilege rather than a necessity, only a certain time being allowed for books, in consequence of which a ravenousnppet ite for literatim" is fostered, which, little by little, is gratified, each concession coming as the greatest lawn, instead of being the irksome "cramming" process that

is a part, of most young people's general edncatiuu. These hints may not. seem of value to mothers who have' other plans that work well, but as this method is marvelously effective in one family it dws no hurt to teil about it, ami perhaps there may be a grain of helpfulness hidden somewhere that some discouraged parents may profit b\

Life of tho HoraclpM Women. "Did you ever think," asked a woman who is.making her own \vay, "how many homeless women there are in Chicago? Women who never know what it is to sit down and expect a visit, or hang'up a picture, or fix a screen, or arrange a corner, the same.an other vvomVu whose lives are rounded by home? Women who have to turn out so early and so hafltlly in the morning that they have no time to arrange their room before goiug to the shop? Who have no one to say as they leave for the day's trials 'Good by Take care of yourself?' Who go back

"Of course there are mnuy of the fehop vromeu of the city who lire at home, and their mothers or sisters attend to the litt Je wants. But the tuivj ir'ty of llwm have no homes except the tittle hall room or the back room on the top floor. And when they wash out a pocket handkerchief in their •, rootta the landlady glares at them if she knows it as she is apt to, and they dare not speak. As they are tired oat after their day's work, they have no time for company in the evening, and if they had they harts $ bo pfrto to r«eir* such company except the IK' pariin the boarding house, and any woman who lias erer tried that knows what it is. "1* it any wonder you Miionauirom«n whose faces are white, who** lips art

Sometimes the burden gets too heavy, and then there is a missing woman until the lake gives back its dead and a three line item in the coroner's news is all that the world knows."—Chicago Tribune. jrM

.^v,.f{,i'Keep Yoar Bread JDry. One hears a great deal of talk about moist bread, and a large number of housekeepers shut their bread in airtight boxes to keep it moist. Such barbarous treatment of bread may be efficacious in keeping it moist, but bread from which fresh air is excluded always has a disagreeable, clayey flavor and is unpalatable to people of cultured tastes, who appreciate the nutty sweetness that is a prominent characteristic of all good bread.

The foolish notion of keeping bread moist had its origin in bad cookery. Most of the stuff made by bakers has to be eaten fresh and moist or not eaten at all. It is so light and woolly that, if exposed to the air a few hours.it grows dry and husky and is almost as unsavory and innutritions as chips. A large proportion of homemade bread is similar in character and is affected in a similar manner by exposure to the air. But properly made bread—such bread as ought to be in every Intelligent home and on every Christian table three times a day —grows sweeter by exposure to the air, and is not at its best until two or three days old.

Bread should be kept in a well covered box or jar, but it should not bo wrapped in cloths, and the box or jar in which it is kept should have small holes in the top or sides, through which the fresh air can have access. As soon as loav«s of bread are taken from the oven they should be exposed freely to pure air, and at no time afterward should they be excluded from it. Make good bread, put it in a well ventilated box after it is perfectly cool, and it will keep sufficiently moist at least a week.—New York Mail and Express.

Consider Oar Girls.

"What are we to do with our girls?" distracted parents are asking incessantly. The answer is easy enough. Consider them, respect the needs of their nature, and do not require them to conform to the exigencies of the day before yesterday. Parents who would do their duty by the modern girl should recognize the fact that the average intelligence is higher in her sex than it used to be, that observation is involuntary and that silence may conceal thought, but does not stifle it. The reasoning faculty is there and will work of its own accord, but probably all awry if not carefully directed. There are very few girls yho will not strive after an ideal of life if only it is offered to them early.

Girls are of a plastic nature. Their inclinations for the most part tend toward refining influences, but influenced they must be, and if there is an absence of that which is noble in the shape into which they are first molded then that which is ignoble is apt to take ite place. There is no more difficult or delicate task in education than the forming of a young girl's character. If a well judged touch will on the one hand produce the most beautiful results, so on the other one that is ill judged will warp and disfigure.—New York Advertiser.

To Do Up Handkerchiefs.

To have your handkerchiefs always looking like new ones wash and iron them after the following directions: After they have been washed and brought in dried from the line, instead of spriukling them for Ironing as you do the other clothes, put two quarts of water in a bowl and squeeze six drops of bluing into it from the bluebag then take a piece of raw starch the size of a pigeon's egg and dissolve it in the water, being careful that it does not settle in the bottom of the bowl.

Take each handkerchief separately, dip it op and down in the water two or three times, squeeze it as dry as possible with the hands, then when they have all been dipped in lay them out smoothly in a towel and place them in the clothesbasket.

To iron them lay them out flat on the ironing table and smooth them on both sides. After this make a fold two inches deep across the handkerchief and press it in lightly with the iron then make a fold the other way across the handkerchief just as they are folded in the boxes when you buy them. By laundering them in this way handkerchiefs will look quite new as long as they last.—New York Mail and Express.

How He Was Converted.

Emma Harriman, in The Southern California White Ribbon, says: I once heard a minister tell how he was converted to woman suffrage. He was a very resolute, determined, outspoken man, and his friends tried hard to keep him from going to the polls at all, for fear he would be beaten for his fearless defense of the right. But he went, in spite of them, to find a filthy polling place filled with half drunken, foul mouthed men, the air thick with tobacco smoke and heavy with curses. One fight after another made the day hideous. The next year he went again. The women had been there before him. The place was clean liowers stood about in vases here and there. In one corner were tables covered with white cloths and women, good women, gave out coffee and cakes to the voters. "I staid all day," said he, "and not a man swore or smoked or fought. The place was clean in the morning and clean at night, and I said: 'If women can do this in one day, what could they do in a year, in a lifetime? This is what we need, the women to help us in political matters, and God helping me I'll rote for it from this day on.*" And he did.

Care of Carpet*.

If cleanliness and economy are to be observed in the household, it is necessary to give special cams to the carpets. At least twice a year they should be taken up and treated to a sun and wiud bath and a general all around beating, A carpet lining is a necessity. It may be of newspaper or felt. Before sweeping throw some tea leaves on the floor. A coarse broom is apt to cut a carpet, especially one with a velvet pile. Use an ordinary clothesbrush instead Then there are spots of grease on the carpet. They may be removed by covering them with curd soap which has been dissolved in boiling waSer. Rub thoroughly over the spot with a brush. To remove a tallow stain try alcohol. For vegetable, wine and fruit stains and red ink wash with warm soap and water or atnmouia. When the stain is of tar, rub with pumice stoee, then map. 2*ajt it stand awhile tiud then wash altvrnately wtih turpentine and wafer.—U pholsterer.

ItehfUtatins Hot Bath*.

Don't take a hot bath in the morning, girls,. It is the very worst thing you can do to the complexion, digestion and interior departments, generally. Instead of stimulating the dtg«6ti?e organs they are debilitated by the exhaustive hot, water. A big breakfast taken soon after is an added injury ami a step in tin- direction of dyspepsia. Cold water, that's what you want before breakfast. Pu.ll on an oiled Bilk cap,

turn on the shower, stand fia the tub and take the shock one or two minutes. Never mind the soap or sponge. Then dry up and drink a cup of hot milk, water or cleaSr tea or coffee. That's the way to tone up the nervous system and send the blood coursing through the veins. That's the way to get an appetite for breakfast and -a, elear view of the day's duties.

Social Obligations.

Women make a great mistake in trying to pay off all their social obligations in bulk. Nothing is more fatiguing than the preliminary work to a grand dinner or a great reception. It is a great deal better, and it will certainly be found more acceptable to one's guests if the social obligations be paid gradually, and if it be to dinner let there be no more than the table can accommodate or the usual help attend to. In issuing invitations to such dinner parties care should be taken to bring together people who are congenial and well acquainted. By so doing conversation, which is a most important feature of such assemblies, will be made cheerful and pleasant, and people will go away feeling that they have had a good time and a good dinner without being able to recall what they had to eat.—Washington Star. ______

Housework and Health. ifefef-fe

Refined woman finds much satisfaction in performing certain tasks in her own way, and there is no healthier employment than common housework. Even physical culture teachers have to admit that if there is requisite strength for the steady pull there is nothing like the ordinary tasks of housework for developing a full chest, a strong back and good lungs. However much domestic science and new implements may simplify old methods of housekeeping, the more the better, the happiest and most economically managed home will still be the one where the mistress is content to give her energies and accomplishments to the successful running of the domestic machinery rather than to numerous outside enterprises.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Attractive Mrs. Emmet,

Mrs. Thomas Addis Emmet, wife of the celebrated woman's doctor and president of the Irish league, is one of the prepossessing women who appear in New York society gatherings. She has a gracious personality chat insensibly attracts people. To those who have the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Emmet a still greater attraction lies in her well stored mind and discriminative appreciation of literature, which is the result of careful reading and familiarity with the greatest authors of every country. —New York Correspondent,

She Rose to the Occasion.

Columbus has a number of women of original bent of mind and occupation. Mrs. Wormley, wif? of the worldwide authority on poisons, illustrated her husband's work on "Poisons." So delicate were her drawings that no engraver could be found, not even in the United States mint, to undertake the work. Undaunted, Mrs. Wormley mastered the engraver's art to such a degree of proficiency that she engraved her own drawings, which remain standard.— Columbus Dispatch.

Cornmeal as a Cosmetic.

Cornmeal, the yellow indian meal of our pantries, is said to be one of the best of cosmetics. A jar of it should be kept on the toilet stand, and after the face has been washed in really hot water with a pure, unscented soap, the meal should be rubbed all over it well and gently. Then it should be dusted out of the hair and eyebrows, the face wiped lightly over with a bit of soft old linen, and the result promised by those who have tried it is a delightfully smooth and Batiny skin.

The Chafing Dish.

With good granite ware chafing dishes as low as $1.50, $2 and $3, according to size, there is no reason why many housekeepers should not use them more for summer cookery. A hot dish for breakfast, luncheon or tea may be prepared over them without cooking one's self, and while seated at a low table. The one precaution always to be taken is to set the dish on a tray sufficiently large to prevent any accident from the alcohol lamp.—New York Post.

Boxing the Bars.

Never strike a child on the head. This is not only cruel, but it is dangerous. "Boxing the ears" should be made an offense punishable by law, for a "box" as likely as not will break the drum of the ear and destroy the hearing perhaps permanently. Children have often died from brain troubles produced by a box on the ears. No parent or teacher should ever think of administering chastisement in this way.— Hospital.

School Rules.

At several of the best private schools in the country the girls are required to wear loose, easy fitting waists or blouses, without corsets, and a plain short skirt during study aud recitation hours. At other times the young women may return to their boned waists and corsets if they desire. In one of these schools at least .the pupils are not permitted to wear jewelry, and no boxes of goodies from home or elsewhere are allowed. ....... .. ......

The Modern GirL

Novel reading is not as popular as it was gome years ago with the girl whose time hung heavy on her hands. Probably the reason may be found in the greater devotion to athletic sports which prompts a girl to go out for a walk, a tennis game or a bicycle ride rather than "loll" with a seusational love story, or perhaps the girls are steadily growing mere sensitive—who knows?—Chicago Record.

CHILDREN'S COLUMN.

Chippies and lazy Bird.

The following is a common incident in the domestic life of the little chippie bird, the intruder being the cow blackbird, known throughout New England as the lazy bird: 7

Mrs. Chippie- (t&. her spouse returning froxn lunch to.finish building their nest)—

Is not that mean? A lazy bird has laid a big egg in our nest while we were away. What shall we do?

Her Spouse—Oh, that is easy enough. We will just build a new floor right over the

Used Mules For "Boats.

"One of the funniest situations in which I was ever placed," tells a naval officer, and it will interest children to hear about it, "was while I was on the Wateree 10or 15 years ago. We were lying at anchor near Arequipa, off the coast of Peru, when a great tidal wave suddenly lifted the vessel bodily and landed her high and dry nearly a mile inland and some distance from any settlement. Of course the vessel was badly strained and damaged in various ways, and, equally of course we could do nothing but remain ri her and accommodate ourselves as best we could to our changed conditions, which gave rise to all sorts of ridiculous complications. "For example, while at anchor, if any one wanted to leave the ship a boat or •gig,' as they are called, was ordered from the boom to which they were tied, and the person was rowed ashore. We coulan'i very well use the boats on land, and so substituted mules for them, as discipline had to be maintained and the regular routine kept up. Then if any one wished to leave the ship it was comical to hear the coxswain gravely shout to sailor to get a certain 'gig' ready. Accordingly a mule would be detached, harnessed and ridden to the side of the vessel, when the sailor would report, with a grin, 'The gig is manned, sir,' and the cantain. or whoever was going for a canter would mount and smilingly ride away."

Iliiiusing and Instructive.

Did you ever think that the same syllable is often used in a great many words? If not, suppose you learn it by playing the following game: Write several words on a long slip of paper, leaving the space of half an inch between the syllables of each word. Then cut out the syllables, assort them and let each player draw three syllables at random. From these three or from any two of them he must try to construct a word. If unable to do so, he must return two to the pack and wait until bis turn comes again, when he may draw three more Blips and try again.

Well Being.

If you want to do right, you must be right. There is no such thing as well doing apart from well being. As an oriental proverb has it, "You cannot drive a straight furrow without a straight eye." If you would do good to others, you must be good before others. No one can be a safe guide in a path he has not traveled. It is sheer mockery to attempt to teach a living truth which is not a part o£ the teacher's life. "If the light that is within thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"—Exchange.

A TERRIBLE FIGHT.

It Was In the Stokeroom of the Steamer New York on Her Recent Trip.

When the big New York was outtdng Iter way through a thick bank of fog Friday night a few miles off the Hook, Third Engineer Raum climbed down Into the stokeroom and told Chief Fireman Hinz that he should get up more steam. The engineer spoke in such a commanding tone that the chief fireman got nettled and replied that, in his opinion, the steam pressure under which the ship was then working was sufficient for the required speed. -.

The engineer became enraged and with a curse grabbed a 12 foot poker, tho handle of which was protruding from one of the immense furnaces, and was about to run the redhot iron through the body of the chief fireman when Fireman Wagner threw himself upon him from behind and bore him down, thus saving the life of Hinz.

Then commenced a terrible life and death struggle between Wagner and the engineer. The men were on a platform from which the coal is shoveled into the furnaces. Both men are of powerful build, with muscles of steel. They gripped each other where they lay and rolled over and over. Each tried hard to push or roll the other into one of the blazing furnaces. About 40 coal passers and firemen stood around, but could not interfere, as the chief fireman told them to keep aloof. Wagner had the advantage of being naked to the waist, wihle the engineer's movements were somewhat hampered by his olose fitting uniform.

Wagner finally managed to get hold of his adversary's throat, and he tightened his grip until the engineer's eyes bulged from their sockets. Then he let him go. Raum was almost dead. A bucketful of water was dashed into his face, and ho revived sufficiently to drag Himself to the elevator and be hoisted on deck.

Two hours later Fourth Engineer Peters came down the stokeroom and told Wagner that one of the machinists wanted to see him. The fireman went up to one of the coal bunkers, where the machinist was said to be waiting. Here Wagner was attacked by Peters and knocked down and almost beaten to death. He says that the first blow struck was by Peters, who hit him on the right temple with a brass knuckler, in consequence of which ho almost lost consciousness. Then the two fell upon him mercilessly.

Wagner made no complaint to tho captain or any of the officers, believing, he Baid, that he would not get justice against a superior officer. He went before United States Commissioner Shields when the New York came into port and swore out a warrant against the two engineers setting forth the facts related. They were arrested by United States Marshal Jacobus and Deputy Marshal Solomon. Their examination was postponed until June 28.—-New York World.

v. Morphine Habit In tondon.

The rumor that the law courts are about to bo troubled with a painful case involving the honor of a well known and respected family threatens to revive the controversy as to the prevalence of tho morphine habit in the upper and middle classes, says a London correspondent The doctors say the vice is quite as prevalent as it was five year? ago, and this is amply confirmed by the advertisement columns of the daily newspapers. Every issue of that eminently fashionable organ, The Morning Post, for instance, contains numerous notices of institutions in which the victims of morphine and other drugs are treated and of nurses skilled in the management of such patients. The saddest feature is that such advertisements are rarely applicable to men.

"Bedroom Bath*.

If you must bathe in your be3room/then get a square of white enameled cloth or heavy Turkish toweling, sew a heavy rope around the edge tightly, and yon can take a shower bath without getting the water on the carpet.
