WOMAN AID HOME.

THE VALUABLE WORK THAT DFL SUSAN HAYHURST HAS PERFORMED.

Upholstery and Disease.

To Dr. Susan Hayhurstbf the Woman's hospital of Philadelphia is due the honor of having opened the way-for women to the study cf pharmacy.

She was the first woman to enter the College of Pharmacy in this city, where she took the usual four, years' course, being graduated in 1883.

Dr. Hayhurst conf^s bf a long line of Quaker ancestry and- began her life as a teacher. In order to prepare herself for teaching chemistry and physiology she entered the Woman's college and took those two branches. After same months' study she became so interested in her work that she determined to take "the entire medical course. During her last year at college she had charge of the Friends1 school, at Fourth and Green streetfe, and was prinoi-

pal of that Institution when she took her diploma. Some time afterward she was a?ked by the management of the Woman's hospital to take charge of Its pharmaceutical department. It was in order to fit herself for this position that she entered the College of Pharmaoy, thus becoming pioneer to the several bright women who have.since adopted that profession..

The value of the work that Dr. Hayhurst has quietly done in this city can hardly be estimated. Her drugrooms offer a fine place for the study of pharmacy, and when it is remembered how few places there are in whloh women can get the four years' practical training required both by the law of the state and the charter of the college for its diploma the place that she fills can be understood. Many young women have passed under her training, and one bright and flourishing pharmacy in Philadelphia is owned and managed entirely by a woman who had her training with Dr. Hayhurst.—Philadelphia Press.

The American Woman In English Eyes. The American woman, says a writer in •the London Realm, must surely be the "vainest oreature that struts about on this earth. Compared to her Yum Yum, in "The Mikado," admiring herself in her nilrror and congratulating herself on being the most beautiful woman in all the world, is modest. She at least utters her conviction only to herself, whereas the lady from Chicago or Ciceroville, Me., goes up on the housetop and publishes hers abroad to all who care to listen. Nay, she screams so loud that we are compelled to listen whether we will or no. But having given ear to her appreciation of her own charms, we go away and think over what we have heard. Then, after due consideration, we go forth in spirit, and finding an imaginary American woman of the sort which writes to the newspapers, we take her gently by the unsubstantial band of her and address her—politely, we hope, but, above all, firmly. "Dearest madam," we say, "you are not a bad looking woman, and it must be confessed that you have gone to one of the bestr modistes in Paris for your clothes.

But you are not a lady-—theword is out of fashion, but the thipg never is—and it is tp be feared that nothing could make you ope. You are absolutely sqjf satisfied, and you 6how it overy minute of your lifo, or, asypu would say, 'all the time.' You are quite without charm of manner, yet you think that all men worship you. Your ediioation has been of the sort that our board schools give our coachmen's children at our expense., Your own comfort i.= the one tiling you think of, and hero is apiece of comfort for you: So long as you cover yourself with diamonds in the morning, so long as your voice can be heard from one end of the Hue de la Paix to the other, so long as your one topic of conversation is your frock and what you gave for it, so long as you sit about in the public rooms of a hotel in a'gown in which you might go to court, so long as you do rill or any of these things, believe me, you noed have no fear of being taken for the only kind of English woman worth consid

Mothers and Their Children. Tho other day an elderly woman was talking to me of the way women were now coming to the fore in all sorts of ways that a, few years ago they would not have fchoughtof, and 6he said one thing which struck her as very odd was that no one seemed to think of motherhood as a profession which was well worthy of study.

When one comes to think of it, certainly one cannot help saying what a pity it is that so few young women have the least idea as to the management of children, mentally, morally o* physically. They marry very generally to bring' into the world poor little babes which they understand how to rear about as well as they vrould the rearing of an ostrich chick or any other strange foreign creature. This is \\cry pitiful, and if only mothors would see that their daughters bad some sort of instruction in tho management of children it would save an immense ,^mount of suffering to many ycung mothers and to their hapless offspring.

Some time ago a mother was lamenting to me over the result of her ignorance. "When my little girl was born,'! she said, "I did my best for her, but I really knew nothing about babies. However, since then I have learned, and I know that I lostiher simpjy frpm wan$ of knowledge. How often I wish that had.mario me help in the nursery at home when 1 was a1 girl, for then Ibbufcf not have' been so-ignorant and foolish .'# iCyery won^an should .kpow something of the management of children, for it is knowledge which is sur8r fcb be required sooner or later, cithfer for her own children or tor somo one olse's. As tno maiden aunt of a large family I have acquired a large amount of information about infants, and again and again I have found it of service when I have been visiting the poor, and not only then, but sometimes in my own rank of life, it hiis' enabled me to ba useful to worried and anxious young mothers.

Not only is the bodily welfare of children often neglected, hut, their dispositions are frequently ruined by maternal spoiling. Mothers should recollect that the child is father of the man in mind as well body.—Home Notes. —-.4

A Turkish Boom.

Upd» the finely polished hard wood floor was a large Turkish rug-of -silk mohair £u predomLpating colors of decp red ami

blfae: A table in the center of the room, with cover in damask in Turkish designs, bore a massive jar filled with r# and yellow chrysanthemums, and here a ourioasly carved censer burned gweet Incense.

The feature .was the canopied couch upon a raised platform at one side of toe room. The couch, of fine damask, is luxuriously supplied *ith silken cushions. The bagdad formitog the background for the couch also furnishes the canopy, Which is at the corners upheld by massive spears. At the head of this couch stands a carved figure in ebony'and gold, and from one of the spears hangs a jeweled lantern.

In another comer of the room is a cozy corner. The couoh of bronze velours is well supplied with cushions In exquisite tones of silk and white Turkish crape forms the background and the canopy above.

Throughout the room are placed Turkish divans in riohest velours, while beside them stand tabourets inlaid with pearl, upon which are quaint vases filled with delicious perfume. A reclining couch in old goldj dull blues and reds, with cushions galore, is neither chair nor couoh, but an oriental luxury, rarely found out of that land.

Upon the walls are pictures of theorient, and everywhere the attention is called to the collection of rare oriental bric-a-brao. The room is lighted from above with a jeweled centerpiece, while quaint lamps are hung at artistic points. The sensuous air was delicately set to muslo by the aeolian harp. The three entrances to this room are hung with Turkish crape draped pioturesquely with golden rings.

This is said to be the most perfect Turkish room to be found in Boston. In New York there is one similar, but not so elaborate.—Boston Advertiser.

Virtues of Goose Grease.

Dr. Symee has called attention to the merits of this ancient and honorable household remedy In the columns of the Dublin Journal of Medical Science. We quote the following:

A gentleman was suffering with influenza of a 'chronic' type. He was never ill enough to stay in bed and soaroelywell enough to be out. He had a dry, hacking oough for many days, and very little secretion was expelled from his lungs, in which was lodged a small quantity of viscid exudation. With the aid of suitable internal remedies he gained ground very slowly. A liniment of camphor and ammonia was proscribed, but it did not help him very much. -3ooSe grease was added, and at once its effect became apparent. In a day or two, feeiing much better, he omitted the use of tho oil, and he became worse, but after repeating the applications great benefit followed. A second and third time he omitted the grease, and the cough and the distress returned, but they were rapidly removed after another application of the oil. The patient is convinoed of its efficacy and attributes his recovery mainly to its specific aotion on his ohest. "Of its penetrating qualities," says Dr. Symes, "there is no doubt." He has seen it remove muscular rheumatism in a marked way when rubbed in. Thickening near the joints after sprains or subacute rheumatio inflammation will be greatly benefited by its use. Another affection in which the author has seen marked benefit result from its employment is in wasting, or marasmus. When rubbed into the abdomen and groins of young children it is a decided nutrient, and experience has convinced him of its efficacy when employed in this way. It can be eaten on bread with salt, and if freshly prepared is very palatable and nutritious.

Dnst, Upholstery and Disease. Householders, in furnishing, would do well to remember that the ordinary practice of oovering a floor with a carpet is not without its disadvantages, even its dangers. The particles which. give substance to the pure searchlight of a sunbeam as it penetrates the window pane are of the most varied character. Harmless as are very many of them, there are also many more possessed of true morbific energy and capable of almost unlimited multiplication. Any one can see, therefore, how when sheltered in dusty woolen hangings, chair upholstery and carpets, they render these articles veritable harbors of disease. The less we have of siich the better, especially in bedrpoms. Some practical deductions naturally suggest themselves. As to curtains and carpets it is but rational that they should, as a rule, oonsist of the smoother and harder fabrics whiclr will bear thorough brushing. If thicker floor cloths and rugs be used, they should be 6uch in size and arrangement that they can be readily taken up and beaten. It is but part of the same argument to say that as much as the floor as possible should be either varnished or laid with oilcloth, so as to allow of frequent cleansing. Cane and leather, for a like reaeqp, are incomparably superior to the richest upholstery when we come to speak of general furniture. Some, perhaps, may Imagine that in making these observations we treat this matter too much as a hobby. "Only one circumstance, however, is required in order to convince any such Of their real and practical significance, and that is the actual presence of infeotious disease. When this appears, all forms of cumbrous comfort in the apartment must give place not merely to a freer and simpler arrangement, but even to bare, sunlit and airy desolation.— London Lancet.

Housekeeping Isn't Easy.

A cooking school teacher said lately to her class: "It is of no use pretending that housekeeping is easy. It isn't." It is hard work.'' However, there are ways of more or less alleviating the hardship, and some of them have been discovered by a family in the suburbs where servants are generally unsatisfactory and uncertain of tenure. This particular household consists of a mother and two daughters. If they are left maidless—and that is no uncommon ocourrencci in village life—they perform the disagreeable feat known provincially as "doing one's own work" after a plan which they have evolved. One prepares the breakfast one morning, lunchoon the next day and dinner on the nest. The other two clear away and wash the dishes. Thus each one is responsible for a different meal each day and has no other concern, except the mwe menial labor. Whoever gets tke breakfast does the up stairs work as well that day. Another plan of this family, even when they have servants, is to divide the catering, seeing after the meals, etc., among themselves, so that it shall not prove so wearisome a task to any one. They each take turns by the week in marketing, planning food and overseeing its cooking. This gives a much greater variety for the table and Is good practice for the daughters as well as a relief to the mother. Likewise it is an economical arrangement. Each manager makes it a point of prifie to see how well she can run the house on the least possible •sum, as there is the comparison every Sat-. urday: night with the accounts of the other two to spur her on to her best endeavors. —New York Times.

Economy df the Household. A woman who looks well to the ways of her household should know how long, under ordinary circumstances, certain supplies, such tea, coffee, butter,, sugar and coal, should last. It is by no means a proof of a niggardly housewife to do so, but it is her duty to herself and family to know what use is made of those articles which she provides. This duty may be done so tactfully that no maid could dream of taking^ offense, or in a way to antagonize. When accounts are kept— that is, when the mistress writes down in her order book tie exact quantity she wishes, with the date of the order—the matter is easily managed. The housewife will do well also to keep a price list, and she can-then- eater the prices with the order. The practice of somo marketmen of

TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, TUESDAY WLY

Bending from one to three pounds mow than the quantity ordered should be vigorously discouraged. It is a practice in son^. households where the marketing is done, by order to detain the man who delivers, fruits, vegetables and meats until it is seen if they are of good quality and In proper condition. If it is possible to do this, and supplies not up to the mark are immediately returned, it is far more effective in securing good service than many protests made after accepting and disposing of tough meat or stale vegetables.

The Influence of Dress.

"Fine feathers do make fine birds," said a well dressed Woman to me the other day, "and it's all nonsense to pretend that they don't. Men talk a great deal about the sweet simplicity bf a muslin gown and all that, but they're the' very ones most quickly attracted by a handsome

up.'

"My husband said to me the other night as we rode home from a reoeption: 'By Geofge, I'd no idea that Mrs. Jones was such a stunning looking woman! Is she any relation to that Jones woman we used to meet at the grocer's?' 'Why, it's the same one!' said 'Nonsense!' 'Yes, it is. Only at the shop she was garbed very plainly, and tonight 6he wore a new gown and had her hair dressed.' "He whistled. 'Well,.-well! I'd never have kndwn her. Dress does make a big difference!' 'It does indeed!' said I, 'and that's just what I,want to talk to you about.' "Well, I had him cornered in a cab, and good results will come of it, I hope."— Polly Pry in New York Recorder

Globes*

Gas giotes should be washed well with a sponge in tepid water in which a little soda and blue have been dissolved. Turn down to drain, -wipe with a soft, dry towel and polish with soft, dry leather. If the globes should have the least orack or flaw in them, be very careful to keep your hands well protected with the towel when drying them, as if the glass were to "fly" suddenly a painful and perhaps dangerous out. might result. When adjusting globes, never screw them tight, or they are certain to break when the gas is lighted, as glass expands with heat. Gas or lamp globes should never be put pv.^r the light directly after washing, as, however carefully they, are dried, there is sure to be some damp, left on them. They should be done quite early in the morning. ,*

Efficacy of Hot Milk.

Hot milk for the complexion has proved to be of tfce greatest benefit, and many women say they owe an improvement of their complexion to the constant use of. hot milk applied every morning and night to their faces. Here is what a woman, prominent in the literary world, and whose. complexion is equal to a young girl's, says: "When I am frightfully fatigued from the rush of the life. I lead, I get a gallon of milk for 80 cents and put it in my bathtub, adding sufficient hot water to cover the body. I lie in this mixture for ten minutes and come out feeling thoroughly refreshed and with a new life to the skin, which, previous to the bath, had a dead look."

.Hands on the Hips*

The grandmammas who used to say that little girls and young women must not rest their hands on their hips "because that's what washerwomen do" must be discouraged nowadays when most girls so frequently assume that position. The explanation of the growth of the habit is said to be that this is the "rest posture" in the calisthenics, health movements and Delsartian exercises that are taught in the young ladies' sobools. Between each two movements this resting of the hands on the hips is resorted to, and it won't do at all to characterize it as indecorous any longer. •.

Pillow Rosettes.

The lace rosette so much in evidence on gowns and hats is now used to finish the oorners of sofa pillows. These rosettes are of lace, 5 or 6 inches wide, 6ewed down very close, so that they do not have much fullness at the edge. Heavy silk or metal laces are pretty for these rosettes. Some of them have a button covered with silk in the middle. Other rosettes, made very large, are of narrow ribbon of many colors.

An armchair of severe outlines, the frame in some highly polished dark wood and upholstered in scarlet leather, will be found a wonderful freshener in a somber library or a dull sitting room.

A little kerosene is an excellent thing for cleaning a zinc bathtub. Apply with a soft woolen cloth, then wash off with hot water—no soap in it—and polish with powdered bath brick.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has a little notebook in which she sets down what she chooses to call "the limbo Of titles waiting for their stories."

A hot bath with cr without" soap is a sedative and a help to the body when exhausted. It Is best taken at night when tired.

Before boiling smoked ham soak it in cold water for 24 hours. It should be entirely covered.

French Colonists For Mexlct*. Several months ago Jevos Benuit, representing a wealthy French syndicate, arrived at Guadalajara, Mex.,to Investigate the opportunities for colonizing 2,000,000 acres of rich coffee lands in the state of Jalisoo with Frenchmen. He examined the country carefully and made a favorable report to the syndicate that sent him out, with the result that negotiations were recently closed for the purchase of the land, and steps are being taken to bring out 20,000 French oolonists.

The land lies on the western slope of the Sierra Madre mountains and is said to be the richest land in Mexico for agricultural purposes. The oolonists will be brought from the southern part of France and will pay a nominal price for the land. The Mexican government favors the scheme, as it will give an impetus to the settling up of that part of Mexico which at present is a comparatively wild region. The coffee raised there is said to be the best in Mexioo and commands a high pj^ce in the markets of the world. The first lot of oolonists will arrive about Sept. 1.—New York Sun.

Complete List of the Prises and the StartWers in the Six liaces—A-Imrge Crowd Sees Them Bide.

The series of races given at Indianapolis Saturday by the Indiana division of the Pennsylvania system, the results cf, which were published in the Express yesterday morning, were the subject of the entire conversation of wheelmen in the city yesterday. And good cause for it,-since the Terre Haute competitors walked away from the .whole aggregation of husky boilermakers, brakemen and other railroad employes from all Over the state, and brought back to their home from the entire prize list valued, at $160.50, prizes amouting to $139. The winning boys are all members of the Wabash Cycling club and L. A. W., as well as employes of the railroad company. Art Forster, the winner of five of the. six races, proved a wonder even to His friends, who knew his strength and endurance. That a man could run one race after another in one meeting and make the record he did, is something marvelous.

The races were held at out the Business Men's Driving Park, Just north of the city, and a great crowd attended them. All the railroaders, including the 300 who went from this city in a special train, made a long procession to the park. About fifty aiders competed, out of a hundred entries. These jmen ftere from towns all over the state, though this cifcy, Indianapolis and Richmond sent the largest delegations.

The complete list of prizes is as follows. By comparing it with the summary below, one may get a clear idea of the manner in which the local riders distinguished themselves:

THIRD PENSION EXAMINER.

Vacancy May Be Filled By the Reinstatement of a Former Officer. It is not probable that there will be 8. tie*? member of the local pension bdard appointed, for some time, at least, to fill the vacaficy caused by the death" of Dr„ Haywarfti?f-

I The two remaining members have not been

officially nottQed,of any change in the mat-

ter, nor has an examination been ordered a. VU uvuv to determine the successor of the deceased physician.

It is most likely there will be no examina tion, though there is talk of aspirates making application for examination for the post before some»other board than the one in this city. This manner of taking examinations is common enough, and the office seeker usually undergoes the trial before a board in an adjacent county seat. But the chief reason to believe there will be no appointment through examination is the f&ct that there are two men in the county now eligible for.the place. They are Dr. S. J. Young of this city and Dr. McCorkle of Elleworth, both having previously served on the board. and who were removed for purely political reasons.

Di". Young, when asked relative to the matter, expressed himself as follows: "I do not know that there will be any examination held for the place. So far as I know, there has been no expression from the governmental authorities in regard to the matter. The present board of two is1 performing the duties of the office all right, and is able to.do so. It is true three would make it easier in certain cases to reach a decision, I do not know whether there will be another appointed or not. In fact, from the remaks on the subject from Congressman Faris, while in conversation With myself, I have no reason to believe anything would be done! -for some time. Mr. Faris gave toe to nn-

derstand thT matter'would not'be broughti8oId winter. The. wages 5p the up until after adjournment of congress. "Yes, both Dr. McCorkle and myself are eligible, having served in the capacity before. The plan of reinstatement is often followed."

STOLE $30,000,000.

Stockholders Begin Suit Against Mining' Mil4 lionaires. New York, July 17.—Leonard S. Ballou, of this'city, and Alexis M. Lay, of Michigan, have begun suit for the largest amount of money in the history of litigation in this country. The suit involves $500,000,000, and the preliminary steps to it were taken yesterday before Judge Moses Hallett, in the United States Circuit Court, in Denver. Mr. Ballou is a lawyer, who lives at Marble Hill, on the Kingsbridge road.

This suit, in which hundreds of millions are at stake, is brought by the Eastern stockholders of the Archer consolidated mines at Leadville against John F. Campion, Clinton Reed, of the Ibex_ Mining Co., and others. Mr. Campion lives at Leadville, and is himself worth millions in mines and deeply interested in the Archer consolidation, which is made up of the "Home, Sweet Home," the "Faint Hope" and other mines. Mr. Reed was trustee of the Archer consolidation.

The plaintiffs, the Eastern stockholders, charge very plainly that Campion and Reed have falsified their reports of the yield of the Archer consolidation. The stockholders declare that $30,000,000 has been taken from one mine in the consolidation alone. They charge that this mine was worked day and night by men trusted by Campion and Reed, who entered a secret chamber in it through an aperture that connects it with the "Little Johnny" mine. The "Little Johnny" mine, say the stockholders, has nearly petered out, but the gold which came from a quartz lead in the Archer consolidated mines has been taken out through the "Little Johnny" shaft, as if it came from that mine, which Campion and Reed have under lease.

The stockholders, through their lawyers, aver that there are bodies of gold-bearing quartz worth $500,000,000 in their mines in the Archer consolidation, and that they have not received their dividends and royalties on the vast amount of gold already smuggled out through the "Little Johnny" shaft.

They ask for an accounting and apply for a receiver of the properties, ysf* \A PREHISTORIC SETTLEMENT.^

Surveyed and Opened For Inspection By St. Paul Explorers. is

St. Paul, Minn., July IS.—The St. Paul Dispatch this evening publishes a detailedaccount. of an exploring expedition sent out by it in charge of Louis De Lestry to locate, survey and define the prehistoric mounds of the Missouri river valley in South Dakota. The expedition was so successful that another immense area of work has been opened to the field of archaelogy. The largest group was located opposite the mouth of Grand river, and contains 800,000 square feet of territory, with eighty-four counted and surveyed mounds on the field at an elevation of 175 feet above the Missouri river. Immense quantities of phehistoric specimens were secured and brought back to this dty. It seems as if an entire prehistoric settlement had been properly located, including its means of last defense.

The People of Seattle Have the Fever Fee Snre— What M.Old atlaer

Seattle, Wash., July 18.—The excitement over the Klondike c^ioes is on the increase and hundreds of peofJIe are preparing to sail for Alaska. The steamer Portland, which brought down ov^er |l,000,000 in gold, is 90 hfer return ,trip,,aj»4 will be crowded to her utmost capacity. Conservative men who have been in the country claim there is room for hundreds mSnf^Si^la&ka. They admit that all of the flelds'ffr tWS vicinity of Klon dyke have been taken• but every river in Alaska is, in thelr-Judgment, filled with gold which can,-fee-secured if the men are willing to risk the. hardships. Inspector Strickland of the Canadian mounted police, wbo came down on tBe Portland, says: "When 1 left Dfcwso»-01ty. a month ago, 'there were 800 clalng^taked out, and there

mines were $15 a day and the sawmill paid laborers $10 a day, *v "The claims' now s^^pd out will afford employment to about 5.000 men, I believe. If a man is strong fce&lthy and wants to work, he can fisd employment at good wages. Several men worked on an interest, or what is termed a "Ta•£* and' 3iiring the winter realized from $oi000uo' $10,000 each. The mines are thirty-five tp 100 miles from the Alaska boundary.'4

A detachment of mounted police of tfe* northwest territory which passed through Seattle two years ago, struck it rich. Five of the twenty guards returned on the Portland with gold amounting to $200,000. The other fifteen remained in Alaska to engage in mining.

Mrs. Gage, wife of the son of the secretary of the treasury, came down on the Portland. She went north on it, and was a* St. Michaels. She said id an interview: "The country is enormously rieh. The present gold diggings are only a very small part of it, and there is little .doubt that there are millions only waiting for the miners to come and dig out. The men from the Klondyke are not the men to exaggerate, for I have talked with people whom I know to be truthful."

It is declared there is no danger of food giving out, all reports to ihe contrary are not honest. Tha North American Transportation & Trading Co. will not allow a mas to take any food north from Portland, but it will guarantee to furnish him food for year at less than $400. He can secure suck a guarantee before leaving this city, sp thai starvation will not be one of the difficult!e» 0 stare men in the face.

BELMONT ON MONEY QUESTION,!

England Must Lead the Way to Place Metal# On a Parity.

New York, July 18.—Perry Belmont, who returned from Europe on Saturday in a? carefully prepared interview, which he gave? out for publication today, had this to say|£i on the money question: r* "In regard to the present attitude of Europe toward international bimetallisms there are advocates of it in France, England and Germany as there was a year ago but* the advocacy has not increased in volume or? intensity.. Neither France nor Germany will unite with us in placing gold and silvers on a parity, unless England leads the way. The continued increase in gold product'on, the surplus left last year and this veer of!' British income over expenditures, the continued supremacy of England in commerce and of London as an international money market have the effect of persuading parliament that the present coinage currency and financial system is good, even though thereis distress in India, reduction of taiittohi^ with an enlargement bf its basis there may,! be i^peace continues, but probably not mod-*, ification of coinage or currency laws so longi ss as existing British industrial prosperity endures. European bi-metallists believe that .1 if in the failue of internatioal bimetallism,i we shall open our mints to silver on the ratio of 16 and subSequenty Europe opene? hers on the ratio of 15*4, then all our goldc will leave us, as it did after 1834, and only*: token silver coins would-remain."
