British fathers ana moruers may protest,
but the young Englishman, if there is any
thing which renders him at all eligible,
when once be is inmeshed in the tolls of la
belle Americaine, never, l think, escapes
from them, or never, should perhaps rather
say. show; any desire to do so.
Much may be said in favor OF the Ameri
can lady who is now one Of the reigning
princesses Of English society. She is often
pretty, never mercelary. She has for the
most part some wealth herself, and prefers
infinitely to wealth in her hu band position,
wit, intellect She is also seldom lacking in
humor and in conversational skill Alto
gether she is an acquisition to ociety though
her Independence. her impotence of re-
straints, and especially her incessant efforts
to advance by matrimonial alliance or
otherwise the in terest of her country women,
may sometimes prove fertile in mischief.
One of the reasons why the fair Ameri-
cans OF London society are so much In re-
quest, and are SD conspicuous at such au-
gust functions as ambassadors dinners, is
that they are. for the most part accom-
plished linguists. The greater portion of
their life has been spent on the continent Of
Europe. Their German. French, and Ital-
ian are infinitely better than those of the
ordinary educated English women. Thus
they can play their part in the CONVEX sation
at the mot cosmopolitan and polyglot of
feasts.

The Medical Use of Eggs.
lExchange.1

For burns and scalds there is nothing more
soothing than the white Of an egg, which
may be poured over the wound. 1t is softer
as varnish for a burn than collodion, and
being always on hand, can be applied i'm
mediately. 1t is also more cooling than the
Sweet oil and cotton" which was formerly
supposed to be the surest application to al
lay the smarting pain 1t is the contact
with the air which gives the extreme dis
comfort experienced from ordinary acci.
dents of this kind; and anything which ex-
cludes air and prevents Inflammation is the
best thing to be applied.
The egg is also considered one of the very
best remedies for dysentery. Beaten UP
lightly, with or without sugar, and swal.
lowed at q gulp, it tends by its emollient
qualities to lessen the Inflammation Of the
stomach and intestines, and by forming a
transient coating for these organs enables
nature to assume her beautiful sway over
the diseased body. Two, Or at the most,
three eggs per day would be all that would
be required in ordinary cases; and since the
egg is not merely medicine. but food as
well, the lighter the diet otherwise, and the
quieter the patient is kept, the more certain
and rapid Is their recovery.

woman's Faith in Man.

Helen Wirnans in Woman's World
Men come home utterly discouraged; their
best efforts have failed; self esteem has
sunk within them until hope is quite ex-
tingui,hed. What does a woman do under
such circumstances Just what she ought
to do. Sic revives his waning manhood by
praise. She shows him every particle Of her
own loving recognition of all there is in
him. She wao knows him best of any,
whose love has never admitted the ex-
istence of his faults, tells him in her own
way how good and how truly great he is. He
may be neither good nor great, except as
her love and confidence endow him with
goodness AMI greatness, but the endowment
is genuine the man arouses to find himself
the possessor Of gifts ne hardly imagined,
and with a newborn strength. goes to work
in way that conquers obstacles, and makes
his life success.

feel himself the peer Of other msn.

n. =. Willis.

Mr.. 81. A Beers has just published biog--
raphy of Nathaniel Parker Willis A critic
says Of it: willis was neither a great poet
nor a great prose writer: but it should be re-
membered to his credit that he never affected
to be one or the other, and that the utmost
bound of his pretensions was to pose for his
short hour rather forid counterpart of
Goldsmith, sort of transatlantic Leigh
Hunt" The son and grandson Of poor
printers, he was educated at Yale. He is
likely TO be known longer by some Of his
early poems, which convey his Juvenile re-
ligious impressions, than by any Of his ma
turer work
To many persons N. p Willis viii always
be an interesting figure, not as much for the
value of any literary bequest as for the fact
that he was genuine soldier of the pen, who
had no other means of livelihood but the
sums that he could earn by incessant industry
from magazines and newspapers. he affected,
to be sure, the airs Of a trIfier and voluptu-
airy in his writings. but in fact he looked
very soberly and anxiously upon the function
on which he depended for his bread. To him
literature - and during a large part of
his life the specific form of literature that
we call journalism-was, in the strictest
sense, a business, a profession, a trade. In
which he toiled, not fitfully and in pursuance
of pretended moods, but as patiently and un-
remittingly as any day laborer in workshop
or field 1t rebounds TO his high honor that,
compelled as he was to regard his daily liter
airy task from prosaic and pecuniary point
of view, he strove faithfully to keep other
and higher standards of achievement in his
eye, and to challenge at least the respect and
good will OF his contemporaries, if he could
not hope to gain firm hold upon posterity.
Nor will those who had the pleasure of KNOW
ing N. P. Willis well easily forget his many
engaging qualities, his charity, his freedom
from jealousy and envy.

FROM THE CRADLE.
fOriginal.l

As in the bosom of prairie rose
The honey bee is found in snug repose,
An infant slumbered in its dainty bed,
With silken draperies above its head.
From realms celestial came its spotless soul,
To bask in sunshine, or to weep with dole;
The fates about him flung their silent power
Within the shadow Of the twilight hour.
Joy left sunbeam on the downy head;
Love whispered: when the years have fed
I'll come again, with fiery dart,
To storm the bastion Of your manly heart.
In cruelty, Hope passed the infant by,
While Beauty, Pride and Grace were drawing
nigh;
But Melancholy kissed him DER and Ger,
And left his soul in shadow evermore.

Seats for Saleswomen.

Says The Bazaar, Certainly it must come
to pass that without any concerted
movement at all, and almost, as it were, by
an unconscious AMI silent protest, kind
hearted women will cea e to frequent the
shops where they see what is essentially a
sort of cruelty compelling shop girls to
standl practiced to ward the helpless of their
own sex" The Bazaar is undoubtedly right,
but, unfortunately. the kind-heer ted women
are in the minority, like the civilized nations
as compared with the uncivilized, the edu-
Gated with the uneiucated, the Christian with
the heather; and the shopkeepers, unless
they are kind-heartsd themselves, need not
care 2 pencs for the custom, the likes or dis
likes OF ne kind hearted women This ques-
ton cannot be LETT to take care of itself,
and, if the truth must be told, the lack of
policy on the part of the shop girls hinders
many employers from providing them with
chairs, and makes customers Indifferent as
to their comfort.
Once seated, nine saleswomen out of ten
remain seated instead of rising when a Gus
toner approaches, and compel one to bring
goods TO them or to scream her inquiries as
to prices. Shopkeepers cannot afford to en-
courage conduct like this, for it drives q way
more customers than the sight of a whole
regiment of standing girls, weary but at
tentive. BY all means, urge the employers
to provide seats but beg the girls not to
abuse the privilege of sitting.

They Object to Female Lawyers.

Yarroo NJ. Neesan, the Persian who is
studying for missionary service in this
country, says:
There are only three newspapers in Per-
ala The women are uneducated In a vii
lage of 800 inhabitants, in which once lived,
a man began to teach his wife her letters
The neighbors jeered at him on the streets
and went and reviled the woman's parents
telling them that their daughter was being
made a lawyer. The nuisance became so in
tolerable that the parents finally had to take
the wife away. They did not allow her to
go back to her husband until he had signed
a contract pledging himself not to interest
himself any further in her intellectual de-
yelopment"

Fair Americans In London.
IA Foreign Resident. :"

The American, once he or she has got q
foothold in society, never voluntarily re-
linquishes, and is seldom violently dislodged
from it. And the Americans are gregarious;
they hunt not merely in couples, but in little
packs The fair Yankee has no sooner made
q conquest and led an English aristocrat to
the altar than she commences Immediately
to consider what she can do for her compa.
triots with the leverage in her hands. She has
sisters or cousins as beautiful as herself, and
she feels all the pride Of conquest In induc-
ing English lovers to bend the knee to them
and 70 pass under the Transatlantic yoka
