Keen Them Bright,

Keep your face, your heart and your
home bright. Don't let the cobwebs
gather in the corners of the pretty little
sitting room or the dust accumulate on
the furniture till you can write your name
thereon. No matter what is on hands.
or how much you have to do, take time
at least once day to tidy the rooms, and
gather fresh flowers. You will never
regret it, even though at the close of your
life you may not possess quite so much
of the worlds goods as some Of your
neighbors. 1t is the best plan by far,
to enjoy life as it comes, and this you
can never do, in sloven or disordered
home. Would you keep your husband
from evil associations, and your children
from hayward paths? Remember there
is nothing in this world so attractive to
man as pleasant home, and smiling
face therein and as for the little feet,
they will not be apt to wander far, so
long as yoar face beams with the love
and solicitude that your heart bears
them. A wife, or mother is q queen,
always. Not of vast domains, to be sure,
and not of society, but of the most sa-
cred spot on earth to every human heart,
of home. You never thought of it per-
haps, but it is true, and it is indeed
true also, that there is no more pitiable
sight than one of these queens" who do
not, either from want Of judgment, or
lack of will, govern her subjects Alright.
Did you ever see truly happy family,
without a loving, watchful and affection
ate wife and mother, at its head? The
father may be sour, hard, or cross
grained, but if the mother is all right,
there is sure to be happiness in that
mily.-Fdrnaing World.

Women as RuIerS.

The talents displayed by women
as rulers--a position which strangely has
been accorded them in all ages and
stages of civilization have frequently
excited admiration. 1t has been re-
proachfully said, too, that in this posi-
ton she has been cruel, treacherous and
bigoted as man can be; but this only
proves that talents, however rare. can
not supply the place of principles in
woman or man. But women as philan-
thropists have accomplished most for
their race and won readiest acknowl-
edgments
Queen Esther's one act, risking her
life for the sake of the people, won her q
place in history for all time. The Ro-
man matron pleading for the salvation
of the doomed city touches every heart.
Queen Isabella, the patron of Columbus,
through hermistaken Judgment, suffered
the dread inquisition, yet is remembered
for her jealous efforts for what she be-
heved the good of her subjects. Eliza
beth, of England, because she became
crock of refuge" to the prosecuted for
conscience sake, has a mantle of
cnarlty thrown over many weaknesses,
and is ''good Queen Bess. CHANGING
at examples in humber walks: The
very name Of Dorcas has become
synonym of benevolence. Not only
all England, but America, and the slow
German States, were moved by the per-
sonal efforts of the ge-hearted Quaker
matron, Elizabeth Fry, to make lasting
reforms and render justice in the inter-
est of outcast, condemned humanity.

Charlotte Cushman's Advice.

Charlotte Cushman discouraged wom-
en- as far as she could from adopting the
stage as a profession. She was accus-
toned to say that for the candidate who
has beatty there is moral ruin IS a re-
ward, and when hef personal attractions
are poor then her course ID one long,
disheartening struggle, ending generally
in failure. She attributed her success
to her wonderful physical health. Her
mind was masculine and her physique
was one rarely given to women. One
day when 8 friend was admiring her
Jewels, which were valuable and beauti-
full, though not numerous, she said: 81
had no beauty to bring these gifts to me
from others-I bought them myself. !"
The grim humor, not merely of tone,
but of expression, perceptible as size
spoke, while holding the jewels up to
the light, can be understood by the few
Rho knew her well.

Since the world began, woman has
never failed to illustrate, in instances,
the glory of her nature-never ceased to
manifest the divine in the human. With
the regal Esther, yearning to bless her
enslaved kindred, and the filial-love-in-
spired daughter, who sustained the life
of her gray-haired father through a
PRISONS bars, there have not been par
allels wanting in all ages to prove that
the angels of God still wander ON earth
to remind man of Eden and give him
foretaste of heaven. Of such type of
virtue were Penelope, weaving amid her
maiaens through weary years the web
that shielded her virtue until her royal
husband returned from his wanderings,
and was to gladden. her heart; or
courteous Rebecca, at the well or timid
Ruth, cleaning in the field Or, nobler
still, the Roman Cornelia, who, tainted
in Rome's decaying age, by rivals, with
her poverty, held up her children, ex-
claiming "These are my Jewels /"
Fit woman to have been the "mother
of the Gracchi."

Mme. Gerster Singing on Board Ship.

The sea was perfectly still, the moon
shone brightly and the night was a per-
feet one for the purpose, and the sailors
gathered where they could hear the
singers voice, and to them particularly
she sang, making special effort to give
pleasure to her unusual audience. It is
said by one of the passengers that after
the silvery notes of the singing voice
had died over the quiet sea there was
a murmur of delight and grunts of Salts
faction from the sailors, which at last
found expression in the person of slab
sided old salt, who rolled his quid to
the other cheek, hitched up his trousers.
and exclaimed: "Now, I tell yer, and
hang me. if that thar don't sound as tho
it war the voice O. nature, I've heard tell
of, and I owns up to feelin' moist In my

as near as it is possible to get them, of
the necessities of life in this part of Ger
many-in the kingdoms of Bavaria and
Wurtemburg, in the duchy of Baden,

prices will not vary much from these
figures, but would be higher rather than
less, particularly in Northern Germany,

Gray Hats.

It is a wsll-known fact ladies seldom
become gray, while the heads of the
lords of creation" are often in early
life either bsld or gray, sometimes both.
Douglas Jerrold tells piquant joke as
follows: "At private party in London
a lady who, though in the autumn of
life, had not lost all dreams of the
spring, said to Jerrold: Il cannot i'm
agiie What makes my hair turn gray; 1
sometimes fancy 1t must be the "essence
of rosemary" with which my maid is in

Too FaStidions.

While lady selects her ribbons with
an amount Of care simply indescribable,
and, indeed, immeasurable with our

which is positively indecent. A woman

WOmam's Slavery.

In what respect is the condition of
many a married woman better than a
slave? She works hard year after year,
and has a roof over her head and she is
provided with food; so is a slave. She
must beg her "master for little pit
lance for which to buy the clothing for
herself and children. The slave master
looks after such wants of his cattle
without their asking. She has no free
dom or independence; she dare not buy
a single article at the store until she
gets the consent of the tyrant whom the
civil law has made her husband. She
can have no will about even household
affairs that her husband disapproves of J;
she is slave in both body and mind
during his life; and at his death, if she
survives him, she cannot, under the I'M
just and tyrannical laws of nearly all
the countries of the world, sell the prop
erty which she has helped to ac-
cumulate, nor control her own children
without employing lawyer and getting
q special permit from the court.

The Importance Of a ChaperOn.

A woman of elegant manners and
charming character, who will submit to
the slavery of being a chapero2-for it
is little less-it is hard to find. Yet
every motherless family should try to
find such person.
In travelling in Europe an accom-
plished chaperon can do more for young
girls than any amount of fortune. She
has the thing they want that is know
ledge. With her they can go every
where-to picture galleries, to theaters,
to public and private balls, and into
society, if they wish it. 1t is 4" ell
quette to have chaperon, and it is the
greatest violation not to have one. If 8

chaperon is indispensable to an engaged
girl. The mother, or some lady friend
should always accompany young
fancee on her journeys to the various
places of amusement and to the water.
ing places. Nothing is more vulgar In
the eyes of our modern society than for
an engaged couple to go travelling about
alone with each other, and to the theater
by themselves, as was the primitive Gus
tom. This will, we know, shock many
Americans and be called "foolish fol-
lowing of foreign fashions" But it is
true, and if it were only for the CLOCKS
of the thing" it is more decent, more
elegant and more correct for the young
couple to be accompanied by chaperOn
until marriage.
Society allows an engaged girl to
drive with her foncee in an open car
riage, but it does not approve of his tax
ing her in close carriage to an even
ing party. -Harper'S Bazaar.
