Hint to Young Mothers.

One reason why SO many young
mothers do not look so tidy and at
tractive as it is the bounden duty of all
women to look, is that they do not ac-
cept the inevitable with the proper
spirit, and then adapt themselves to it;
for instance, it is impossible to care
for baby as it should be cared for,
and yet TO wear as good dress as you
would if you were simply sitting down
to do fancy work. The usual dress
when engaged in this occupation should
be of material that will bear sponging;
then, sponge and bottle of diluted
ammonia should be kept near at hand.
OF aprons there should be an unfailing
supply, of different sizes and degrees.
Do not fail to have at least two of the
same length as your dress, and of two
full breadths. A white one OF this
style, trimmed all around with scarlet
machine embroidery, is actually be-
coming to most women, and will save
the cost many times over by preserving
the dress beneath. Clothe yourself
suitably, and then enjoy rocking your
baby. All other pleasures you may
hope to have repeated, but the Joy of
being the mother of baby is one
which may be yours but once, and that
for SO short time that it will seem al
most dream-like in very few years. =

An extraordinary story is told in En-
glish court circles, and has been re-
tailed by the spiritualists, as to the
reasons which induced the Queen at
the last moment to alter the arrange
ments for Prince Leopold 5 funeral. 1t
is said that short time before his
death, dancing with an intimate friend,
a lady of Danish birth, of great per-
sonal beauty, and the wife Of an Eng
lish peer, he was rallied by her upon
his unwonted abstraction. His answer
was that his sister Alice had come to
him in the night, warned him of an APP
preaching calamity, and told him not
to trouble, for all would soon be well.
The royal duke, like his mother. the
Queen, seems to have accepted super
natural visitations as real, and he told
the lady he would pref +, if anything
happened to him, to have military
funeral. Her ladyship, the recipient
of these condolences, wrote letter to
a high court official, telling him the
story, and he laid her communication
before her Majesty. At once the Queen
ordered her dead sons desires, express
ed in life, to be fulfilled. Hence that
change at the last moment, which led
to so much perplexity and inconVeni-
ence.

The NUMBER Seven.

On the seventh day of the seventh
month holy observance was ordained
to the children of Israel, who Toasted
seven days and remained seven days in
tents-the seventh year was directed to
be Sabbath of rest for all foilers; and
at the end of seven times seven years
commenced the grand jubilee--every
seventh year there was a grand release
from all debts, and b0ndsmen were set
free. From this might have originated
the custom of binding young men to
seven years apprenticeship, and OF
Furnishing incerrigible offenders by
TRANSPORTATION for seven, twice seven or
three times seven years. Anciently a
child was not named before seven days,
not being accounted fully TO have life
before that periodical day-the teeth
spring out on the seventh month, and
are shed in the seventh year, when in
fancy is changed into childhood. At
thrice seven years the faculties are de-
veloped, manhood commences, and a
man becomes legally competent to per-
form civil aets--at four times seven he
is in full possession of his strength-at
five times seven he is fit for the bust
ness of the world--at six times seven
he becomes grave and wise, or never
at seven times seven he is in apogee,
and from that time decays-at eight
times seven he is in his first climacteric
or year Of danger, and ten times seven,
or three score years and ten, has by
the royal prophet been pronounced the
natural period of human life.
And, we would add, the most con-
slant weather cycle is that of seven, or
some multiple of this mythical number.

Very red little oranges. tomato shap-
ed, with shiny skin, and done up in
colored tissue paper, can be found this
winter in every fruit store and on many
stands. They are mandarin and Tan
gierine oranges from Florida. The
two varieties are 50 nearly alike in
looks and taste that persons unaecus-
toned to them cannot always tell
which is which. The mandarins came
originally from China, and the Tan
gierines from the country whose name
they bear. In Florida they are called
'kid-glove oranges because, it is
said, ladies can peel and eat them with-
out soiling their gloves. Between the
skin and the pulp is a loose layer Of fl
bres, which is easily separated from
the pulp. The skin has only to be
broken, when il can be taken off dry
and in one piece. In taste they are
very different from other oranges Of
good quality. Instead of the spicy fla
Vor that is distinguishable in ripe and
fresh Indian River oranges, there is in
the mandarins and Tangierines taste
suggesting that of new wine. The
pulp is very tender. and there lis little
but Juice within the delicate lining.

How to Keep Your Husband Home
Nights.

A few days ago a Detroit wife was
reading a newspaper article which
tickled her most to death. 1t was en-
titled: '.How to Keep Your Husband
at Home" and it was about the Troy
wife who turned the sitting-room into
saloon and thus welded her husband
to his home and kept him in nights.
The Detroit wife eackled and grinned
and caclIled again, and vowed that
she'd follow the plan to the last detail.
That evening, when her husband had
finished his supper and was making a
rush for his hat to go down and see a
man on 100000 worth of business,
the exultant wife led aim into the l1b-
rarv. There was sawdust on the floor,
six big spittoons artistically arranged
around the room and a bar on which
rested half a dozen bottles of beer and
a supply of beer glasses.
'My angel wife, may heaven bless
you!'' exclaimed the husband, as he
looked around him and took in all the
details.
Then he walked around and expecto-
rated in each spittoon, and he walked
up to the bar and swore like trooper
and called for beer. When he had
drank it he kicked over the chairs
and said he was just as good as Van
derbilt or any other man. When he
had imbibed some more beer he kicked
over the bar and broke the bottles. and
as soon as his wife began to talk poll
tics he BACKED her eye and went in to
clean out the place. When the neigh
bors finally got the man quoted down
things were endwise and crosswise all
over the house, while half the neigh
borhood were hunting for fire-alarm
box and the other half for police.
When the hystericky wife had finally
explained her plan to the mob filling
the parlor the husband sat up on end
amidst the wreck and waved his fists
about and shouted:
'You bez your booz! Nieesz s'loon
in zhis town! Nicesz wife in D'troitl
Everybody come up'n driz at my
'spense! Whoopi Wherever man who
wants 'er run out nights!'-Detroit
