altogether, or set them to running in a
new direction. Another moment, and
the son and husband were in the stage,
covering from the gaze of the curious,
their hearts beating with alternate hope
aud shame aud dread.

The thought had no more than shaped
itself in her mind than she spied
the object of it. Across the street and
above a balcony, under which was a
row Of liquor stores, aud hard by the
pawn-broker's shop, where a narrower
visaged and lesser man than the senior
SnOwden was watching her with his
lynx-like eyes, sat Grace at an open
window, her white face turned anxiously
in the direction Of the departing dill
gence, which she had seen her husband
and his father enter together.
The eyes Of the mother and daughter
in-law met. Grace signalled to her to
come to her room, where the two held
a long and anxious conference.

"But, my child, you see that and

After a little parleying as to whom

was decided to engage an elderly,

The Girl Who Wins.

The time has passed when woman
must be pale and delicate TO be interest
ing; when she must be totally ignorant
Of all practical knowledge to be called
refined aud high-bred; when she must
know nothing of the current political
news Of the day, or be called masculine
and strong IL is not a sign Of
high birth, Of refinement, TO be sickly
aud ignorant. Those who affect any
thing OF the kind are behind the times,
aud must shake and air themselves men
tally and physically, or droop under the
nrm strides Of common sense ideas,
and be crushed into utter iusiguifi-
cance.
In these days, an active, rosy-faced
girl, with brains quick and clear, warm,
light heart, a temper quickly heated at
Intended insults or injury, and just as
quick to forgive; whose feet run as fast
as her tongue, and not put her out Of
breath; who is not afraid Of freckles, or
TO breathe the pure air of heaven, un-
restrained by the drawn curtains OF a
close carriage; and above all, who can
speak her mind and give her opinion on
important topics which interest intelli-
gent people, is the true girl who will
matne the woman. This is the girl who
wins in these days. Even fops like a
woman who can talk we'll, though she
is not handsome.

Woman's Moods.

Moodlness in women may almost in
Narlahly be traced to an Over-taxed
eOhulIlnn OF the system, 10 too much
e''eI anu 10 too lOng-cOntinued mOnot-
ohy ih daily pursuits. A wife and
I notner surrounded by family cares is
I acted and re acted upon bv the same
I slghts, sounds and labors until the fresh
ness ana Vlvacity Of the spirit beeoDa
worn out. We are so constituted that
our natures demand for the eniov-
ment OF life, and for the vigorous exer-
else OF our powers change, variety and
relaxation. For lack Of these the in
terest IN lie dimiuishes; the mental
horizon naTrOws, life becomes contracted
and seems not worth the living. Then
come various unhappy moods and take
possession Of the mind. To learn tn
control and Danish unhealthy moods is
one Of the tasks that must be under
taken by every woman who would lead
happy and useful life. The first step
is to recognize their existence and in
fuence. Reason must he called to the
aid TO declare that feelings of despOnd-
ency, dlscOuragemenJ, hOpelessness and
complaint are but the result of a mood
and therefore can be resolutely held in
check. II one can only bring Oue's self
to make the frank acknowledgment
mentally, "I feel mean, cross and ugly
to-day" and then to restrain speech and
action accordingly, the battle is half
won. But vigorous action must be re-
sorted to in order to dispel the mood,
and for this nothing is so effective for
woman as TO leave home, even but for
an hour. Get away where other infiu-
ences will act upon the mind and body.
If dependency and a complaining mood
are dominant, 90 and see some fellow
creature who is in real distress; the rem
edy is almost a specific for such a mood.
Above all things, moods need to be dealt
with effectively, not subiectively.
Don't go to introspection; don't think
about yourself; don't set it down to a
sinful heart or TO any religious or irreg-
ular cause. The cause of moods is
purely physical one, and must be
reached through the physical nature.
Change of occupation, of surroundings,
Of air aud exercises are the remedies for

THE Ice CROP on THE HUDSON. The
most successful ice harvest ever known
on the Hudson River is now being
gathered and will soon be completed.
Over two-thirds Of the crop is now
housed, and il is expected that in a few
days the enormous amount Of 2,06l 500
tons will be stored away. Moreover,
many Of the ice companies propose To
stack outside their houses enough ice 10

IL is expected that this stacked ice will
supply the market until winter comes
again, and leave the stores in the houses
untouched for another season. thing
