they take hold of hands, determined to
do or die. Another wave makes them

reaches to what would be their knees if
they were men. Now they face each
other, each holding the two hands of

tiremen at work on hand-engine will
understand the motion readily. They
keep this up for five or ten minutes,
talking like brace of parrots all the
time, till one of them screams with all
her might and runs halfway to the
bath-house. She stops to remark that
she knows she will die, and, looking
down, sees the cause of her scare-a
blade of eel grass tightly wound about
her ankle. Spanking up courage again,
they seek the water once more, and
again the hand-engine maneuver is re-
peated.- Then one of them whispers,

Tl,e Two Phases of Woman.

Nothing can be more touching than
to behold a soft and tender female, who
had been all weakness and dependence,
and alive to every trivial roughness,
while treading the prosperous paths Of
life, suddenly rising in mental force to
be the comforter and supporter of her
husband under misfortune, and abiding,
with unshrinking frnness, the bitterest
adversely. AS the vine which has long
twined its graceful foliage about the
oak, and been lifted by it into sunshine,
will, when the hardy plant is rifted by
the thunderbolt, cling round it with its
carefsing tendrils and bind up its shat
tered boughs, SO is it beautifully ordered
by Providence that woman, who is the
mere dependent and ornament of man
in his happier hours, should be his stay
and solace when smitten with sudden
calamity; winding herself into the rug
ged'recesses of his nature, tenderly sup
porting the dropping head and binding
up the broken heart.

What Wives Do.

This is the way Fannie Field In the
Prairie Farmer answers the question
Are wives supported? 2"
"Who has cooked your meals, made,
washed and mended your clothes ali
these years? Who made the butter and
cheese that you sold and pocketed the
money for Who took care Of your
children, nursed yoH when you were
sick, and bore with your outrageous
fault-fnding when things didn't go to
suit you? Who patched, and darned,
and contrived, and saved, and made
every dollar do the work of three? And
what has she had to pay her for all this
Just her board and clothes as she went
along, and if you we've to die tomorrow
all that she could claim of the property
that she worked so hard to help you
save would be the use of one-third of
the real estate and in nine cases of ten
that is literally worse than nothing. II
it had not been for your wife's help,
would you have been worth so much
to-day as you are nowP If you had
been obliged to hire a woman to do the
work that your wife has done for her
board and clothes, do you imagine that
you could have done much more than
make both ends meet?'

WOman's Work.

Two young girls of Frostburg, Pa,
for the past four years have had control
Of farm of about 100 acres. They
have plowed, sowed, reaped, built
fences, raised hogs and performed the
other countless duties incident to a pas
toral life. In addition to their outside
duties, the care of widowed and inva-
lid mother has been tax on their ener-
gies. One of the ladies is a shoemaker,
and all work of that kind used by
the family is executed by her. The
house in which they live is large and
roomy, yet these two girls, whose ages,
by the way, are % and 20, have made
al the carpet, and made it well, too,
painted a number of farm scenes and
family portraits in oil and filled up the
otherwise vacant spots with waxwork,
etc. Beside, the fact that they are good
musicians, and that they never shock
your refined ear with ungrammatical re-
marks, is also noteworthy.

How VOItaire Cured the Decay OF His
Stomach.

In the "Memoirs of Count Segur"
there is the following anecdote: ''My
mother, the Countess de Segur, being
asked by Voltaire respecting her health,
told him that the most painful feeling
she had arose from the decay In her
stomach and the difficulty of finding any
kind of aliment that it could bear. Vol
taire, by way of consolation, assured her
that he was once for nearly a year in
the same state, and believed to be in
durable, but that nevertheless very
simple remedy had restored him. It
consisted in taking no other nourishment
than yolks of eggs heated mp with the
-four of potatoes and water. Though
this circumstance concerned SO extraor
binary a person as Voltaire, it is aston
ishing how little it is known and how
rarely the remedy has been practiced. It's
efficacy, however, in cases Of debility,
can not be questioned, and the follow
ing Is the mode of preparing this valu-
able article of food as recommended by
Sir John Sinclair: Beat up an egg in a
bowl and then add six tablespoonful of
cold water, mixing the whole well to-
gether; then add two tablespoonfuls of
farina of potatoes; let it be mixed thor
oughly with the liquid in the bowl
Then pour in as much boiling water as
viii convert the whole into jelly, and
mix it well It may be taken alone or
with the addition of a little milk In case
of stomachic debility or consumptive
disorders. The dish is light and easily
digested, extremely wholesome and
nourishing. Bread or biscuit may be
taken with it as the stomach gets
stronger.

A writer thus takes off a too-common
class of young ladies: If these damsels
talk freely with you, they will tell you
that, If they are not strikingly pretty,
they can ''make up" well that they
can shed real tears at pleasure that
they even know how to simulate faint
at call that they have practiced the
stage laugh till they have it perfectly !;
and as for sobs. you should hear them !
Meanwhile the stage is never forgotten
in their least motion.
Ii they sit at the piano, it is with a
sense of the audience down at one side
they stand, rather than sit, for free
dom of dramatic movement. They en-
phasize their remarks with fingers
touching together on the chest and their
arms flung wide open with circling
grace with an appraised arm, and every
finger trembling; with hands clasped
over lace handkerchief, and just lit
tie lifted-with all the pretty lines of
grace, in short, that one sees in the mo-
tons of the lovely ladies who play So
ciety dramas.
By and by, if circumstances have

tive impulse were not strong enough to
give the impetus to seek a stage man
ager if modesty, after all, got the bet
ter of them if the thing did not, on the
whole, efervesce in private theatricals,
or if no private theatricals came to slim
ulate and develop the taste, they sub
side into the choice reader of domestic
Shakespeare club, or the teacher of an
Evolutionary class, or else they fall in
love and marry, and housewifely cares
and children wean them of their folly,
as the old King said would be the case
when the enthusiasm of the Princess
Ida was in question.
And usually no harm has been done,
and their sons will, perhaps, be the bet
ter public speakers that their mothers
had little dramatic turn. Usually no
harm, we say; but occasionally great
one has been done.
