What TO Teach Girls.
| From a Sermon by Mgr. Capel. !

from sermon by Mgr. Capel.
Give your daughters thorough ed
ucation. Teach them to cook and pre-
pare the food of the household. Teach
them to wash, to iron, to darn stock
ings, to sew on buttons, to make their
own dresses. Teach them to make
bread, and that a good kitchen lessons
the doctors account. Teach them
that he only lays up money whose ex-
penses are less than his income, and
that all grow poor who have to spend
more than they receive. Teach them
that calico dress paid for fits better
than silIen one unpaid for. Teach
them that full, healthy face displays
greater luster than fifty consumptive
beauties. Teach them to purchase
and to see that the account corre-
spends with the purchase. Teach
them good common sense, self-trust,
self-hclp and industry. Teach them
that an honest mechanic in his work
ing dress is Il better object of esteem
than dozen naughty, finely dressed
idlers. Teach them gardening and
the pleasures of nature. Teach them,
if you can afford it, music, painting,
etc, but consider them as secondary
objects only. Teach them that walk
is more saiutary than II ride in car
riace. Teach them to reject with dis
dain all appearances, and to use only
"Ies' or NO in good earnest.

The Well-DresSed Woman.

The well-dressed woman again
knows not only what to wear, but when
to wear it. In the summer forenoon
you will see her in the simplest of cot
tons, dress absolutely plain and
without ornament, without laces,
fringes, or decoration of any kind. In
the winter at the, same time she is
equally plainly dressed in cloth. Later
in the day she changes to smarter
clothes for more ceremOnious duties,
visits, afternoon parties and teas
velvets and silks combined in winter,
in summer rich gauzes and costly laces.
In the evening, for dinner or ball, the
most choice and splendid masterpieces
of the dress-maker S art are reserved;
the richest stuff set off with the most
elaborate embroideries and the rarest
jewels. But withal, even in this last
gorgeous stage into which the modern
chrysalis has developed, ostentatious
display is scrupulously avoided.
The highest art is to conceal art; to
use the richest materials in comprising
the utmost simplicity. There is no
heaviness, no overlooking with orna-
ment, no meaningless supe~added dec
grafton. The attire Of a perfectly
dressed woman is original without
eccentricity; personal to herself, vet
following the latest fashion attractive,
yet undemOnstrative- to
the utmost her peculiar charms

A NEW FACTOR IN THE PROBLEM.

Neither party can longer laugh at
the Prohibitionists. While II may be
true that some of its big guns are Of the
feminine persuasion, and without the
ballot therefore, II is equally truo that
these armored specimens Of the weaker
sex exert very decided influence in
various directions and bring many II
delicate backed brother to the polls with
a vengeance. The convention at Pitts
burg this year, of all others, may play a
most prominent part in the pending
campaign,
II looks as il there were a general
breaking up of old party affiliations just
at present, and these Greonback and
Prohibition nominations which we now
affect to despise may make such inroads
In many States as to seriously affect the
results. No set of men or women who
hang together over principle are to be
despiscd; we may look upon them as
ctanks or fanatics, but they will, by dint
of agitation and persistency, drum up
n following, and coming boldly before
the people year after year, receive
marked additions to their strength. In
such close struggle as the present one
promises to be, a few thousands change
here and there might decide the contest.
These Prohibitlonlsts have shown
their ability to carry at least three
States-Iowa, Maine and Kansas. In
Iowa any new party must more seri-
ously affect the Republicans than the
Democrats, and Prohibition and Green
backism in n vigorous fight there might
melt the 60,OOO Republican majority
until Democracy would stand a mag.

our exposure to the south and west as

both the cholera and yellow fever are

isthmus and certain sections of Mexico
are heart-rendng already and grow
worse constantly. Then there is New
Orleans to the east always to be
watched, whore even now the fever is
reported to have made its appearance.
