YOUNG LADIES OF MODERN TIMES.

know I'm an old-fashioned body, and foolishly
set IN my ways,
And I'd like wen to speak my mind about the
young ladies of modern days;
Their own grandmothers would not know them
and m lost III amaZenent myself
But whether the old or the young ones are right
wish some wise person would tell
When 1 was girl twas not estheties but fine
housekeeping won praise.
And she was counted notable woman that
good pie-erust could raise,
Who could make luscious cordial, studied sea-
sonings and ragouts
But the young ladies who manage the world to-
day have very different views.
My granddaughter Polly says Yes, indeed :;
theIe are servants TO bake and 10 fry;
That cordlaIs can now be bought in the stores,
and doctors don't recommend pie
That she knows better than waste her time dis
filling sweet waters and pomade,
When there's BARRIERS and perfumerS glad
enough to follow the job for a trade"
And she plays Chopin and Beethoven: has a
notion of Latin and Greek
And German, French and Italian, she says,
every girl ought to speak.
She is writing drama now and she's written
half dozen romanceS
And she d think it too shockingly SLOW" not
to know all tfe new games and dances
When look at their " high art needIework," at
the sunfowers, lilies and cranes,
AT the wonderful painted palettes and plaques,
/ think girls are nothing but brains.
Nhen look at them huted and frilled pink,
laces feathers aud flowers in mess,
All pictures of "epochs" and 'styles' and
schools, think girls are nothing but
dress.
But in spite of the dressing and playing and
painting, the truth must be told, and IN
say,
Never was housekeeping much better managed
than just AS it, managed to-day:
And fathers, intending of admonishing girls,
praise and humOr them early and late.
SO maybe, I'm thinking, the young folks are
right, and the old ones bit out of date.
For the modern lover is just as bad; his mistress
is all of queen;
A more beautiful, brilliant, ethereal type than
the world has ever seen.
lie takes the housekeeping all on trust, while
She sings HIM an exquisite song.
And though l don't understand it at all, the
trust very rarely is wrong.
I was speaking of the girls of my time to a
lover but yesterday;
And he said All, yes; very excellent ma am ;
quite nice, | should think, in their way.
The fact of the matter is, women are fair in
every epoch ard cline;
But we get the de Ia creRe of the sex in the
ladies OF our own time!
Then in came Polly. all frizzes and bangs, pale
gold color, surah and lace;
And he looked at her. and then at me, with a
kind OF triumphant face:
And wonder at Polly, and of the past, till / II
lost IN amaZement myself;
But whether the old or new way is best, | wish
some wise body would tell.

YOUNGER SISTERS.
Some of the Ways and Difficulties Met
with by Beaus.

A young lady in Ohio was engaged to be
married to young man, and the wedding
day was set in the near future. One dav
the young lady was unable to attend pic
ME with her affianced, and sent her young
sister as substitute. Both the young man
and the substitute failed TO return from the
picnic and later on it was learned. that
they had gone to Pittsburg and were mar
ried. Aside from the selection of Pitts
burg as place to go to, society recognizes
that the conduct of the young man was in
the highest degree reprehensible, and de-
serving of severest censure; but we feel
sure that fair consideration of such case
cannot fail to adduce many points of ex,
tenuation that will be appreciated by all
young men at least. The younger sister
was the prime cause of the whole affair, and
this is but another instance of the inn
portanee of this member of the family as
a factor in our social problem not to
be overlooked. Every mother of more
than one girl recognizes this importance,
and so does every young man. Every
young man knows how hard it is to get
hold of younger sister while the elder is
still unmarried, " in society" and "in the
field Not only is the former subordi-
mated entirely to the latter; not only is
she frequently kept In short skirts until
maturing development absolutely demands
that they be heightened; not only is her
debut in society deferred and postponed
year after year to give her elder sister full
chance; but more serious than all this to
the young man that would be hers is the
fact that she is wholly out of his way, and
he can only get at her via the elder sister.
Society recognizes but one Miss A; the
others are all the little AS quite inconse-
quential and not to be thought of save
as the child or "my little sister
who is at school, Yet the
younger sister often has her share of

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

Never put hot iron directly upon silk
it takes the life out of it.
Cream cures sunburn on some COM
plexions, lemon juice is best on others, and
cold water suits still others best.
Paint spots can be removed from any
kind of clothing by saturating with equal
parts of turpentine and spirits of ammonia.
To scour knives easily, mix a small
quantity of baking soda with your brick
dust, and see if your knives Go not polish
better.
Salt will curdle new milk; hence. in
salt should not be added until the dish is
prepared.
A lady says that to kill insects she uses
one teaspoonful of kerosene to the gallon OF
water, and sprinkles it on the plants with q
hand-broom. 1t destroys green flies and
other pests.
Don't waste your time securing your
bread pam. bread never bakes as well in q
bright tin. Indeed, the best bread pans il
one can afford to have them made, are OBJ
long ones made of Russia sheet-iron.
When one has had fever and the hair
is falling off, take teacup of sage, steep in
quart of soft water, strain it off into q
tiSHl pOttle. cpOHSt tIle Htdu Will tue ttd
frequently, wetting the roots Of the hair.
Kerosene will soften boots and shoes
which have been hardened by water, and
render them as pliable as new. Kerosene
will make tin tea-kettles as bright as new
Saturate a wooden rag and rub with it. II
will also remove stains from clean warn
ished furniture.
The oftener carpets are shaken, the long
er they wear. The ditr that collects under
them grinds out the threads Do moi
sweep carpets oftener than is necessary
A broom wears them very much. Wher
carpet is faded, strong salt and water will
often restore the brightness of the color.

"Well, Brer Dukes, Use been studdin'

And his brave bright eyes, where the question:

For this very same boy is asking why
From the time that morning paints the sky
Till the sleepless stars come out on high.
WAY does Jacks kite stay up in the sky,
Ii has no wings and yet il can fly
And sister says wishes &c just as high.
Why is oatmeal healthy and candy good
Is il always naughty to do rs you wOuldi
And would you be an angel if you could?
This rose was bud and why did it burst
This bird was an egg. and which came first,
The egg or the bird, and how was it nursed2
What is the wind and where does it stay?
When it bushes itself and creeps away
Is it signing or singing, and what does it say
Why is it bad for boys to fight,
And for soldier-men so brave and right?
Why do love you best at night2
Why do the oaks and elms stand tall,
And the apple trees DO the work for all
With their gnarled old branches ready TO fall
Why does great strong gentleman ride
In carriage handsome and soft and wide,
Aud tired old woman walk by the side?
All Robin, I Il neither laugh nor cry.
But L IL tell you II secret deep and high
The grown-up children keep asking Why?
And the answers are somewhere safe and fair
Beyond the stars and the star-lit air,

THE STRENGTH OF THE BRITISH Army
A blue book was issued lately containing
statistics respecting the strength and con-
dition of the British army during 1884.
From the tables given it appears that the
effective strength of the regular army was
ISL, 227 on the LIST of January last year,
and 1873, PIG on the LIST of December, making
the average strength for the year 1873 Ola
The Army Reserve numbered SO, $50 in
Glass l., and 7,73S in Class ii. on the 1st of
January of the present year. The strength
of the militia and yoemanry on the dates
of inspection Of 1884 was 13l, 7S7 and II ,4SS
respectively, whilst the volunteer force on
the 1st of November, 1884, stood at 215, 015.
OF the regular army, the average strength
of the force at home during 1884 was So
994, the number abroad being 100. The
proportions of the several branches of the
service were as follows: Cavalry, 16,90S
Royal Artillery, 31,727 Royal Engineers,
5,573 infantry, etc., 12S, 1856 The army in
Egypt on the 1st of January, 1885, was
10, 269 strong in the colonies Including

total effective strength on the LIST of Janu-
airy, 1875, was 185,432, and on the LIST of
January, 1885 2l3 $685. a similar compar-
ison of the strength of the volunteers gives
the following result 1884, 20S, 365 efficients
out of total enrolment of 215,015; 1874,
16l, 100 out of 1s5,3S7 and 1864, 123, 707 out

How TO TAKE PILL.-The Medical Re
porter gives the following directions Place
one or more pills under the tongue, then
take mouthful of water or other liquid
and swallow Gust as in the act of drink
ing); this done, look for the pill. Invaria-
bly, the " I-can't-take-a-pill" patient is
astonished, and sometimes he investigates
the mouth with his fingers to reassure
himself if he has really swallowed the
pill. The secret lies in the fact that in the
act of drinking the tongue curves back
upon itself; the pill, taken by the force of
the current, is imperceptibly washed down
the oesophagus.
