Reign ufthe Woman.

Man never appreciates his infe'
riority to woman so thoroughly as
when he stands before the altar in
the presence of an audience OF
friends, and hears the clergyman
make him a husband. Nine out OF
ten men in such a position tremble
as if they were about to be arrest
ed for murder, while niue out of
ten women go through the ceremo-
ny as gracefully and composedly
as if it were an everyday occur
renee. And it is this timOrOus,
quivering creature in a dress suit
that promises to protect the calm
and placid angel whose orange
blossoms are her aureole. What
delicious sarcasm there is in the
thought!
And in after life, when the hus-
band gets torn up by care, and
when a little trouble comes to steal
away his peace of mind, how is it
them The woman whom he prom
ises to protect becomes his protec-
tor. She sees sunshine through
the clouds. She smOoths out the
wrinkled brow of care. She props
up his tagging spirits. She puts
new lite into his bosom, new hope
into his soul, aud he goes forth in
the morning with new strength and
new zeal TO wrestle with life and
its responsibilities.
Woman may be the weaker YES
sci, but she isn't broken up, and
doesn't go to pieces, as soon as

More Pockets for WensD,

A DressmakeSs Tslk.
Why should fashion dictate that
a woman should have one tiny
pocket hid somewhere in the plaits
of the dress, SO that she often has
TO ask the dressmaker to find Il,
and carries her purse 10 her hand
rather than bother to look for It 2
A man may allow himself twelve
pockets. He knows where to find
his watch, his pnrse, car tickets,
handkerchief, cigars, tickets, and
can even stow away an opera glass,
a box of confectionery and a cocket
pistol. There should be more
even distribution in this matter,
aud the women allowed six good
size pockets at least.

MOTHER GOOSE.

Mother Goose's maiden name was
Elizabeth Foster. She was born
in Charlestown, Me-, in 1886, and
married Isaac Goose of Boston, in
1903. She was a second mate and
began her maternal life a step
mother to ten children. She added
six more to that number. Thiuk
of it Sixteen gosling to a single
goose Is it any wonder that she
poured out her feelings in the cele-
brated lines:
"There was an old woman who lived in a
shoe,
She had so many children she didn't know
what to do.'
Yet her family cares sat lightly
upon her, and she survived Father
Goose many years. Still, she staid
by her nest and led and fed her
flock until they were able to swim
by themselves. One of her daugh'
tiers married Thomas Fleet, a print
er by trade, with whom she went
to 1--we and insisted on being a
nurse to his children, and there she
lived aud sang from morning I'M
til night,
"Up stairs and down stairs,
And in my ladies chamber"
Thomas Fleet sold songs aud bal
lads at his printing Office, and one
day a happy thought struck him.
SO while she sat in her arm chair
or shuff1ed about the house lost in
sweat dreams, he carefully wrote
down what he could of her rhymes
which fell from her lips. Soon he
had enough to make a volume

two coppers.' The Rev. j. M.
Manning, d. d., formerly pastor OF
the Old South church, Boston, at a
festival not many years since spoke
very truly, to my mind, when he
said: "Not Homer or Shakespeare
is so sure of immortal fame as
Mother Goose. Considering the
love in which her melodies are
everywhere held, their freedom
from anything which might cor
rupt or mlslead the infantlle mind,
their practical wisdom, their shrewd
mystery and motives of humsn con-
duct, one is in all soberness forced
to admit that her name is among
the brightest of the jewels which
adorn the brow OF the Old South.

distant when a memorial statue
will be erected TO this venerable
lady in one of the parks or squares

4 Good That FrlIf Does.

It is as a febrifuge that fruit has
its highest value with both old and
young. With the approach Of what
the poet calls the melancholy days
OF the year, our bodies, if not keyed
up to the pitch of perfect health,
are sensitive to the changes OF
temperature, especially if the air is
surcharged with heavy moisture.
At such a time we are liable to
levers and to chilIs, which from q
neglected condition of the body
and from consequent low vitality
may easily change to a congestive
and dangerous form. In this case
the value of the acid Of fresh fruit
is easily indicated. and the result
of its use is speedily shown in the
breaking up of morbid conditions,
the Frightening OF that physical
barometer, the face, and the elias
ITCHY given to the step. AS is well
known, our habits Of eating and
drinking tend continually to super
excitement of blood and brain, and
to the development and exhibition
of the purely animal part of U.s.
Too many of our foods are adj
prepared for the simu-
lation of our passions, and as for
alcoholic drinks, none will deny
that they are used, even when
pure, beyond all reason or safety.
AS the doctor we'll says the sub
stitution of fruit for stimulants
would relieve much of the need for
restraint on wrong doors. This is
certain, for our heads would be
our blood cooler, our nerves
,teadier, our impulses more sub
ect to reason, and life WON'T We

Country Girls Think Twice.

An eastern exchange never gave
better advice than when it told
country girls that before making a
plunge into city life they should
ask themselves what is really 90 be
gained by it. Perhaps in their
quiet rural home some stray adj
vertisement has reached them
promising to young women high
salaries for light work. Hundreds
of advertisements are framed for
the very purpose of deceiving the
unwary. They accomplish their
bad purpose, too, and large mum.
bers of young girls rush up to the
city, dazzled by the gentle profu-
sion OF promises. a girl from the
farm answers one of these adver-
tisements. Life may have been
slow at home but there was always
good food and plenty and there
was some one TO care for in the old
farmhouse. When she gets to the
big city she finds that the light
work consists in working all day
in a badly lighted and ill-smelling
workshop, where scores of other
girls and women are employed at
wages hardly high enough to keep
body and soul together. Probably
she will eventually find herself in
some cold garnet, lonely, overworG- |
ed, respondent and miserable.
Better remain at home than risk /
the failure which attends so many |
girls who 90 up to the city in pursuit /

A BALANCE DANCE" FOR BEER.
AN ARAB GIRL FRANCES WITH A
LIGHTED CANDLE ON HER
MEAN

HEAD.
The Arab quarter of Port Said,
on the Suez Canal, consists atpres-
ent OF booths and wooden huts, and
the bazaars possess for experienced
travellers little interest or picture
esQueness. In one of them, however,
we found native cate, where two
Ghawazi girls we're languidly dane
ing before the usual audience of
low class Arabs and negro con
noisseurs, writes correspondent
of the Rochester Herald.
One clad in scarlet was novice
of no skill the other, graceful and
clever, with handsome face ofthe
old Egyptian type, worn hard and
marked by a life of vice, was
prettily dressed in wide trousers of
purple and gold, a spangled jacket
aud head.dress of coins and beads
with a jingliug girdle OF silver
amu!ets. ,,t...n.
Asked if she could perform for us
the "balance dance" she consented
to exhibit that well known Egyp-
tan pas for the modest conSidera-
ton of two francs and bottle of
English beer. The cork of this con-
tribution being drawn, a lighted
candle was fixed in the neck of the
bottle which was then placed on
the crown of her black and. glossy
little head. A carpet was next
spread upon the sand, and, extend
ing her hands, around with casta-
nets, aud singing in high but not
unpleasant voice to the accompa'
niment of a darabouka and rabab,
she swayed her little body in slow
rythmical motions to the words OF
her song and the measured beat of
the musicians ,..r....- 81 -,i

. The Ghawazi began with Arabic
words of this tenor, keeping exact
time TO her strain. with foot and
hand, and the tremors Of her slen'
der frame, now farming slowly
round, now softly advancing and
Preceding, now. oIasping her hands
across her bosom or pressing them
to her forehead, but perpetually
keeping the bottle and lighted
candle in perfect equilibrium upon
the top of her head.
Suddenly she sank, with the
change of the musical accompanl-
ment, to the ground and, main
tanning the completest harmony OF
her movements, but even making
this strange posture one of grace
and charm, she cOntrlved in some
dexterous manner without touching
it to shift the bottle from the top
of her head to her forehead, and
thus reclined on the mat; her ex'
tended fingers softly slapping the
castanets, her light girlish frame
paIpitating from crown to feet, al
ways in the dreamy, passionate
measure of the ancient love.song. %
This was really an artistic piece
of dancing, though the performer
was only a common "almeh" from
the delta; but the dance is, no
doubt, as old as the Pharoahs, and
every step and gesture traditional
~ handed down.
