Wosry Women,

Nothing is more thoroughly mis-
taken than the idea that a woman full
fills her duty by doing an amount of
work that is far beyond her strength.
She not only does not fulfill her duty,
but she most signally fails in it; and
failure is truly deplorable. There can
be no sadder sight than that of broken
down, overworked wife and mother,-a
woman who is tired all her life through
If the work of the household cannot
be accomplished by order, system,
and moderate work, without the nee.
essity of wearing, heart-breaking toll,
without making life a treadmill of
labor. then for the sake of humanity,
let the work go. Better to live in the
midst of disorder than that order should
be purchased at so high price-the
cost of health, strength. happiness, and
all that makes existence endurable.
Tho woman who spends her life in un-
necessary labor is by this very labor
untitled for the higher duties of home
She should be the haven of rest to
which both children and husband turn
for peace and refreshment. She should
be the careful, intelligent adviser and
guide of the one, and the tender conf
dent and helpmeet of the other. How
Is 1t possible for woman exhausted
in body. and, as natural consequence,
in mind also, to perform either of these
offices? 1t is not possible. The con-
slant strain is too great. Nature gives
way beneath it. She loses health and
spirits and hopefulness, and more than
all, her youth, the last thing that
woman should allow to slip from her;
for, no matter how old she is in years,
she should be young in heart and feel
ing, for the youth of age is sometimes
more attractive than youth itself.
To the overworked woman this green
old age is out of the question. Her
disposition is often ruined, her temper
soured, her very nature changed by the
burden which, too heavy to carry, is
only dragged along. Even her af-
fections are blunted, and she becomes
merely a machine,-a woman without
the time to be womanly, a mother
without the time to train and guide her
children, a wife without the time to
sympathize with and cheer her hus-
band, a woman so overworked during
the day that when night comes her
sole thought and most intense longing
are for the rest and sleep that probably
will not come, and even if they should,
that she is too tired to enjoy. Better
by far let everything go unfinished, and
live as best she can, than entail on her.
self and family the curse of overwork.

Horse Shoe Romance.

The old notion that there is luck in
horseshoe finds support in one case at
least. When Maud S. did her first
really fast mile at Cleveland in 2:1O4,
Capt. Stone of Cincinnati, who owned
her, pulled off her shoes and stored
them in his desk, and sold the mare to
Vanderbilt for snug price. He has
been making money ever since, and
capturing the best things of life. The
Captain kept orly one of the shoes. He
gave one to Mrs. Swain and she gave
it to her larger brother. He hadn'
had it week before he was married to
one of the most charming ladies in
New York. He has been prospecting
like green bay tree ever since. and
has had the shoe plated and framed,
and wouldn't take Florida lot for it,
MIR. Vanderbilt had one of the shoes,
and used to think that it had a happy
influence on his efforts to turn an
honest penny. Cornelius owns it now.
aud has it fastened on the front of his
writing table. The fourth shoe is in
possession of William Blair, Maud 5. 8
driver. Bair thinks that if he had not
had the shoe stuffed in the ballast of
his sulky cushion, he never would have
been able to have gotten the work out
of the little mare that he has since the
piece of steel came into his possession.
