The St. Paul Musical Society.

The (old) st. Paul Musical society was es-
tabllshed early in the i60s and for near a
score Of years gave annually its four season
concerts, playing only the most classic in
strumental music, inters persed with two or
more vocal or instrumental solos. Several
winters have now passed without the society
doing any active work Yesterday after
noon there was a full attendance of the
members for the purpose Of holding the an
rual election, which resulted in the re-eiee-
ton Of all the old officers and committees.
The members are about equally divided as
to whether the society shall resume active
operations, disbaDd. or remain in statu gao.

In all our public schools men have a better
chance than women. Aprincipal who wears
trousers is paid u great deal more than one
who wears skirts. Why Nobody knows, un-
less IL is that the boards of trustees are com-
posed of men, and. as men make the laws, of
Course, they favor their own. In my judg.
ment, women teachers should be en-
ployed in all primary departments,
whether for boys or girls, and should
have the preference for any girls
schools of Whatever grade. There are a
thousand mental, moral and physical reasonE
Tor this, which will at once occur to any man
of tho world, and neeJ no photographing by
me. Women make admirable stenographers,
and IL 1t were possible TO persuade n girl that
proficiency in her art. attended by the essen
tinl qualities of reticence about her employ

would certainly lead her TO a position of

women would be better than men in that oc-
cupation.

Auna L. McMahan IN The Current.
During the difficult and urduous period
knowna as breaking i'm II new girl, most
women say; ado thus and do so, because this
is my way" When the back is turned, in
stantly the maid does it another and prob
ably poorer way, because it is her why. But
If my way W ere shown to he the best one,
and for what reasons, AID it were seen that
the lady herself found it no less fitting and
beautiful to practice the best way in the
work of the kitchen than in her other affairs,
then the work seems ne longer mental but
dignitied. Though tedious at first, it pays
because of the principle involved. For the
same reason 1t is u great advantage to make
friendly visits to the kitchen, listen to cx.
perienceS, discuss methods, because this showA
a respect for the work, and is "a far US pos
sible from that familiarity that breeds con-
tempt" which comes from mere chat. There
are hundreds of little ways in which n mis-
tress with tact and u genuine respect for the
work and the worker, can make this felt and
as an incentive to good work it is beyond
calculation.
Then, the average mistress is often guilty
of ignoring the sensibilities of her hand

Cookery in Public Schools

lJullcJ IOTsOu.
Perhaps you do not know that there Is, In
connection with the agitation of the ques.
tion Of industrial education, a movement to
hive departments of cookery and domestic
economy introduced in our public schools.
Such is the case, however, and l believe the
day is not far distant when the art of cook
cry Will be given the attention it deserves.
/ am using all my influence to bring about
this result, and never miss an opportunity of
pressing the point. The-result of my obscr-
yation is that people in all parts of the coun-
try are gradually coming to the conclusion
that in n country like this education for the
masses must include industrial training in
some form. And certainly there is no branch
which Inns greater claims upon the educa-
tional authorities than this, which prepares
the girls to become competent housekeepers.
The experiment has already been thor
oughly tried in England and shown to be a
success in every way. Sewing and cooking
are taught there in institutions correspond
ing practically to our common schools. The
British association appointed a committee to
investigate the matter and the chairman re-
ported that not only was the instruction in
these departments signally successful, but
that it appeared that the pupils in the schools
where these things Were combined with the
regular course Of study, better work was
done in the regular branches. The mind of
the student requires diversion for most
efficient work, and this explains the fact
cited, which is certainly q strong argument
for the introduction of these departments in
our schools. 1 don't see why 1t is not quite as
necessary that the home should be properly
managed rs business. In a country like ours,
where so much is made OF tho common peo-
pie, l do not SEQ how a public school system
can be considered complete which does not
include practical instruction, which can be
used in everyday life by both sexes.

Many mothers appear to accept with resig-
nation tho repeated and violent colds from
which their children suffer as providential
and unavoidable, A cold is by no means al

more to do with your child's tendency to cold
than the keenest breath of air. And in
great measure these things are under your
control.
Mothers should understand that IL Is a fact,
whether thoy can see how it is or not. that

The Leap Year Thought.

Why should woman be synonymous with
the desire for m%arriagei Why should the
leap year thought ~nsinuate itself into the
other three yearsl Why should ahusband be
the ambition of every womanl The sex has
been treated TO a good deal of modern phi
losophy on this point. Woman, it has been
gravely demonstrated. can earn her daily
bread nearly as well as man, is fitted for
many kinds of work better than her brothers
The surplus woman should therefore labor
and earn her living by the sweat of her pretty
brow. just as the man would. For the
woman who will do this, leap year is an
indifferent affair. The myth can give no
solnce where none is needed. It gives no
rights where none are desired. Not only leap
year, but all years, are stripped Of illusions
that end in bitterness. Compensation fills
not one year only, but all four, and life
flows on through all its quadrenniums
sweetly and singly to the purpose OF doing
what is appointed as n duty anda pleasure.
And, after all, as sometimes by looking too
long at a star we lose it altogether, and then by
resting the eye on the night-blue beyond,
suddenly possess 1t again IN its fullest splen.
dor, it may come true that the woman who
rests herself upon her own strength. and the
mastery of one problem, may solve all ut
once another that years Of searching would
not have conquered,

Anything Except HouseworIx.

New York Hopr.l
Still, young women go out to service more
unwillingly every year. And whyl The root
OF the difficulty lies partly in the character of
the gentler sex, and partly in the character
OF our political and social institutions. The
opportunities for primary education are 80
excellent in the United States that poor girls
are generally pretty well educated by the
time they are old enough to live away from
thor homes. They learn to read easily and
they quickly avail themselves of tho cheap
literature of this country and they sink them
selves in it. Then when it is time to 20 out
TO work they have many lofty ideas which
prevent them.
As every boy in the United States has the
privilege of thinking that some day he may
be president, so every girl, no matter how
humble her family, thinks she may some day
marry a rich man and become a fine lady.
She has never read of n fine lady who was
made out of a servant in the kitchen. Gin
derella is the only exception, aud we do not
believe in fairies nowadays. SO in order to
DO fit to be a fine lady when the golden time
comes, no girl ever wants to DO rubbed with
the smut of domestic drudgery IL it can DO
avoided. Anything but houseworkl She
never could endure, the slightly educated girl
thinks, to have it thrown up to her after she
is married that she was once a servant.
J 49, Az oho uoha, 10 bDSu
to a woman who had once been a domestic
servant, no matter how rich she had becomeI
Certainly not. Any woman who has once
been Il servant bears tho mark of n mental
all her life. She is more handicapped by
that than by any doubt about her own rep-
utation. Thus n young American woman,
either OF native or foreign descent, will do
anything rather than work in a way which
may hurt her future career. Moreover, it
will not do to jump to a hasty conclusion
that such n girl is a fool. AS long as our in
stitutions exist as they are there will be sense
and fitness in this feminine reasoning. 1t is
us true that every girl hero has u better
chance OF some day being tho mother of a
family, well-to-lo and having social aspira-
tions, than every boy has of being president.
And 1t is also true that it will always be set
down to her discredit, If it should be known,
that she was once a domestic servant. For
these reasons the young woman who Is
thrown upon her own resources will work ut
anything rather than go out to service in u
household. a shop, a factory and sometimes
a much worse place is preferred.

Advice to Ladies' with MarriageabIs
Dnughters.

Daughters
An experienced old lady used to say, Don't
tell me about engagements, love and attach
ments, and all that, till you can report that
they have been in and out of the lawyers of
fee" People can't live upon air; and to see
some of them, even at a wedding breakfast,
you will find that they are quite as hungry
after marriage us before. Cupid is n young
gentleman that must DO well fed. "Love in
u cottage" seems all sunshine and honey
suckles; but rent and taxes, and soap, soda
and sandpaper, however vulgar and sublu-
nary, must all be duly provided for.
So when you come to tine settlement it
often proves a settler indeed. Instead of
money, the gentleman has expectations, and
is looking out for something to do" he has
"A rich uncle who may die" or a bronchitlc
aunt not expected to wheeze and cough
through another winter. You may have
offers enough of this sort. just as tho
serYant-maid has when she comes into her
quarters wages. Pray, madam, beware of
all such; have no younger sons or younger
brothers about your premises. Curates ara
very dangerous-no good themselves, they
keep Others off. AS to dashing young OIL
GERS, few can say, in the words of poor Miss
Bailey" Ave got Il q note i'll my regimental
small clothes" So be- guarded aud distant;
let us recommend a cast of countenance like
the builders notice board: mo %admittance
except on business"
But do not aim too high. The hi cher you
aspire the less your chance, till at last it ends
at n vanishing point. Just take your pencil
and draw a pyramid, II cone or IA tall tr-
angle. Take "A slice Off the base, aud it is "
very wide slice; this represents the compare
tive number Of the striving men of business,
and among them most ladies proper will
succeed. But this might DO a little come
down." while every slice above represents a
class smaller and smaller, literally fine by
degrees and elegantly less.
But beware OF one danger: The higher you
aspire the lower you may sink, with n great
blot on your family cscutcheou. Lord

rhe Attraction OF Opposite


[Atlantic Contributors Club"
There seems to he u popular belief in the
law of attraction OF oppositss as applying in
the matter of love and frienlship-a law
supposed to be based ON induction, according
simply one of those formula which is true
when 1t is true, and no oftcneri Opposite
natures do attract each other, there Is no
doubt; a man Of phlegrnatic temper some
times finds an irres stiblc fascination in a
woman whose gay yivacity cheers and slim
ulates him like sunshine and the birds song;
Or, again, it is the ssnguine, buoyant-
naturod man who is mated happily with u
wife whose serious and discreet mind is the
balance wheel insuring tho safe running Of
the household machine.
lndisputably, there Is an attraction, some
times difficult to account for. between per-
sons Of contrasted natures; nevertheless, a
nice observation will often show, / think,
that dissimilarities between husbands and
wives, or between intimate friends, are super
fetal, while the strength of the mutual at
traction resides in an underlying likeness.
A marriage which is truly such, or a serious
friendship, involves u very close intercourse,
which 10 be sustained must rest on certain
deep moral afiinities, If there be also intel
lectual nflinities, the union or communion
will he stronger still; but such are not neces-
sary. as the former are. Circumstances may
play their part, and an important one. in the
formation of our friendships or the selection
OF our life-mates; but among persons OF any
depth Of character, choice as well as chance
has to do with the matter, although the choice
DO often rather instructive than deliberate.
