Woman the only Home Maker.

A single man may have an estate, a
principality; he can own great hotel
and fill it with guests; but he cannot
create a home without a woman to help
him. and that, too, a woman whose
service is not for money. When i comes
to a home, there is not 4 solitary dress
maker in the land, ensconced in her
little room with her geraniums, her ca
nary and her sewing machine, who
cannot completely eclipse him, this be-
ing the result not of his sins, but of his
sex.
Undoubtedly each reader will think,
or try to think, Of some exception to
this-some single man who is happy,
some 'jolly bachelor, some "cheerful
widower.' No doubt there are those
who can be happy. especially during
the first half of their lives, without the
sense of home. A, man with bis
wealth and his paintings, and his yacths
and his delightful monologue: B, with
his perpetual journeyings; c, with his
six dogs; and our late Cambridge pro-
fessor, with that family of hens which
he tended, like herdsman, with long
staff, and which be- trained to take food
from stakes stuck in the ground instead
of scratching in the flower beds-all
these may doubtless have found bach
elor life not inconsistent with happi-
ness; but where, after all, is the home?
Neither yachts, nor pictures. nor steam
er tickets, nor dogs, nor hens can sup
ply that. Home says the proverb,
sis where the heart Isl but if SO, DO

The great State of Minnesota, with gift of $780,
900 worth Of property by St. Paul, and cash outlay
OF $3.50, 900 more for buildings is about to give q
grand exhibition of her mechanical arts, and pro-
ducts, and invites the whole Northwest to come and

affords o superior attraction In
D1CK1NsoN's MAMMOTH DEPARTMENT STORE
which is of itself mammoth Mercantile Exposition,
continuously open to the public. It Is establish
ment which in extent and variety would do credit to
any city In the entire world including London Paris
and New York, and any Of those cities would be
proud of such an immense aggregation under a

The building, which was once the city street rail-
way depot was transformed at a cost which was a
fortune Of itself into Mercantile Palace, and made
as resplendent the tabled architecture produced
by Aladdin and his wonderful lamp.
1t occupies the entire length Of a block, running
from Fourth to Fifth street and fronting on st.
Peter street, to which it presents glitering and
dazzling surface OF 1900 square feet OF English
plate glass; bordered with 600 square feet OF cahe-
dral-colored cappings representing all the varied
and enchanting hucs Of the rainbow. This 1s the
largest unbroken stretch of glass In the world and

him. A woman can do it for herself;
there lies her advantage.
1t may be harder for a woman to
make money; undoubtedly it is harder.
She makes a dollar, perhaps, where a
man makes twenty; but when it comes
to purchasing power, her dollar goes
the farthest towards the maintenance
of I, home. SO long as she retains it
she is strong and sclf-respccting, and
even if she parts with it, so strong is
the instinct of home that she can some
times reconstruct it for herself even in
a boarding house. If the home is COM
bined with little freedom in the use
of money, it gives more comfort and
more local prestige than a man can win
with a fortune. What would be the social
condition Of any country village in our
Atlantic states without frst-class
maiden lady? She is the daughter Of
"old squire; somebody, or of :'parson"
somebody else; she lives in the great
square house with its elms and its white.
lilacs and its breezy hall: she has a
maid OF two, who have lived with her
SO long that they seem like half-sisters;
she has in daily use the precious china
and the old chars that the envious city
pisces have vainly tried to rival at anc-
ton rooms. She manages the book
club and the church saoiable; she is the
confidante of all love affairs; she calls
upon the new Corners, if worth-lndeed,
the new corners, if worthy, bring letters
to her. TO the older inhabitants of the
town she always seems young and even
elegant; she has prolonged tradition
of precedence that outlasts youth and
beauty; if she has a sister they are
spoken OF to the end of their DAYS as
"the Parker girls.'' All this is the joint
result Of womaLhood and home, or of
that womanhood which creates home.
1t is not only potent for itself but it ex-
tends its potency over all other homes.

tor, who had assured him that his wife
would be delighted to see him.
The visitor was anything but parlor
Ornamental rude, unpublished son of
the prairie, unused to any of the ways
of society, but a power in the politics
of his home, and man whose influence
could be of vast assistance to Mr..
Douglas. Entering the room gave him
a nervous chill, Mrs. Douglas pretty
greeting threw him into fever, and
her inviting him out to the refreshment
room completed case of palsy.
Ignoring his trepidation, she chatted
away to him herself, paid no attention
to his stammerjng refusals, and poured
out the tea into some miraculous little
cups of egg-shell Sevres. Grasping the
fairy ealyx in his fingers for first sip,
the delicate bit of Seyres was crushed
to pieces, and the hot tea poured in a
stream over Mrs. Douglass silken train.
With a gay laugh, the lady said:
How brittle they are! just look at
mine," and with mighty effort she
broke another cup between her fingers.
Reassured, the constituent drew his
breath and found himself at ease, while
that incompatible hostess talked to
him, asked about his mother, his wife
and his children, all of whom she re-
membered SO well and called by name.
The man went home to work for, vote
for and swear by Stephen A. Douglas,
and way back of his political convic-
tons lay the pieces of those two broken
teacups: Some ladies were discussing
the incident at lunch party the other
day, establishing Mrs. Douglass right
to fame, and routing the M thical Mrs.
Senator Bingham, of whom the pervert-
ed story has lately been told. Said one
pretty woman, II woulnd't break my
best teacups for any constituent in my
husbands district" Out of the group
there was only one who courageously
said, ''I'd break my whole dinner set,

Monday Luck.

Friday, as everyone knows, has for
many years been regarded by many as
an unlucky day. But there are other
days of the week which are regarded
as more or less unlucky, and not few
look upon Mondays as indicative OF
what they may expect during the fol-
lowing days of the week as to their
business. There is a large class who
will bemoan dull Monday, and some
of them will court good luck by selling
to the first customer who appears Mon
day morning at nominal figure.
Others have for various reasons select
ed other days of the week as lucky or
unlucfy. From the number of mar
riages on Thursdays and Tuesdays it
would appear those days are regarded
as happy ones by the matrimonially in
clined. The question of the influence
particular days may have upon the
luck of couple does not, however,
appear to enter the minds of those who
run away from their homes for the pur-
pose of Observation-Disclosures Star.

Mrs. Senator Douglas Tact.

Mrs. senator douglas l0cCs
The tradition tellers and the legend
lovers of Washington have always re-
membered the pretty and graceful
ways of Mrs. Douglas, and never cease
to hold her up as a model of a states
mans wife. Her tact and her amia-
bility were boundless, and although
when she married the Little Giant she
was very young and much his junior,
she adapted herself to the position from
the start so thoroughly that no wife of
twenty years experience in public life
could equal her. For every friend, for
every constituent and for every enemy
of Senator Douglas she had just the
right thing ready to say, and, with her
wonderful memory of names, faces and
places, she was never without some
personal inquiries to make of each
stranger. Her social instinct was as
marvellous as the gift of second sight,
and when she accompanied Mr.. Doug
las on his famous journey through the
South to visit his mother, there was not
a person encountered in all that tour
that she could not have recognized at
sight and called by name had they en-
tered her parlor unannounced a year
later. Mrs. Hayes is the only lady in
public life who has created the same
interest among the people as Mrs.
Douglas. Wherever the Little Giant
went the crowd would cheer and call
for his wife, just as the loyal citizens
have since welcomed Mrs. Hayes at de-
pots, state fair grounds and the like.
Mrs. Doug glass popularity was wonder
full at that time, and her face and win
ming ways made friends right and left
for the Senator, at that time candi-
date for the Presidency. At one of her
receptions in Washington a great shy,
awkward constituent from the most
rustic region of Illinois presented him
self in Mrs. Douglass doorway. sent

old bachelor of the country village?
Though he be a millionaire, he is simp-

The truth is that as people grow old
er it is tn" nan who becomes depend
ent, and the woman the central and es-
sential figure Of the household, since
she can do without him and he cannot
do without her. The proof of this lies
in the fact that we see all around us
scIf-sutticing and contcntcd households
OF women, while house that contains;
men only, is barrack, not a home. In
youth it is easy to ignore this, to say
with SHAKESPEARE in ''Henry w."
"Tis ever cummon,
That men are merriest when away from

but the merriment is shallow, the lauph-

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and lie has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
riblc itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
dscharging great quantities Of extremely
Offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
NILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
