Architecture for Women.

Southern papers suggests architecture
as q profession for women. There are
magnificent and costly houses whose
kitchen arrangements are a marvel Of in
convenience: and the woman of the house
often SAYS with a groan: mo woman
would have planned things So" BY all
means let women be architects. They
would naturally make better architects
than men, for the reason that they have
more practical knowledge Of convenience
and economy, especially in the arrange
mcnt Of dwellings and other buildings
appropriated wholly or in part to the
use Of their SIX. There are, Or could be,
a thousand little intricacics about our
homes which the masculine mind could
never conceive, but which would add
UNNECESSARILY TO the comfort and con-
venicncc If the tidy, ambitious house
wife. Since the trace Of a woman's hand
is 50 easily disccrnbIc in indoor decora-
tions and adornncnts, why should she
not cultivate and develop this, as any
other talent, giving to her varied genius
wider field Of activity and usefulness.

A story is told about one of Nashville's
bankers. The perpetrator of the joke
was once active in financial matters. He
is not as wealthy, however, as he used tc
be, and finding himself in immediate
need of some cash the other day, he
walked into his former bankers office.
After declining an invitation to be seat
ed, he said: "You remember in former
times my paper was worth par. | could
raise any amount needed by the simple
process of affixing my name to a note.
You were kind and courteous to me. then.

vcstment is safe, there being no risk
whatever. I want you to let me have
$40, 600.
The banker looked steadily out of the
window for a few minutes, rubbed his
hands, and said he was really sorry, but
it would be impossible to let the gentle
man have the sum mentioned.
The would-be borrower, not the least
abashed by the refusal, said: "Wel I
might make out with s., 900 for the pres.
emit" The banker again declined to adj
vance the cash, explaining that money
matters were stringent. The visitor
turned to go, and, with a shrug of the
shoulders, said: well that's the way
of the world. If had come and asked
for the lean Of SO you would have re-
fused.n

"Wcll, lend me that amount. if YOU

With an, ':I-am-sold" smile the banke,
produced his plethoric purse, f,hed out
a $40 bill and handed it ovcr.-Nashriu.

After waiting several months She de.

When she reached this city she found

The vault of the Cloaca maxium, the

even at this early period, a perfection

In Italy a living scorpion is dropped
into a wide glass bottle which contains a
! fewdrops of olive oil of the finest quail
ty. More oil is poured on instantly,
until the bottle is filled and the scorpion
dead. In its struggles to free itself it
elects all its poison into the oil, and this
poisoned oil forms a sovereign remedy
for the sting of a scorpion.
When a batch of bread was made in
the household of the Hebrews, Syrians
and other Oriental races, a piece of the
dough was made into a cake and baked
under the ashes in order to be presented
as an offering to the priest. This was
called mamphnh in the Syrian language,
whence the word, and probably the Gus
tom itself, was adopted by the ancient
Romans.
It was customary in oriental countries
for lovers to testify the violence of thei.
passions by cutting themselves in thu
sight Of their adorcd ones, and th'
fashion seems to have been adopted il
England about 800 years ago, whel
young men frequently stabbed their arm
with daggers, and, mingling the BLOOD
with wine, drank it off to the healths o
their cnslavers.
Earrings, according to Biblical record
were worn by women from the e%arlies
times, but Try men more rarely. Hebrew
slaves, indeed, suffered their cars to b
bored as a figure of their optional servi

holes thus made. Xenophon informs u
the males of Lydia were often subject t
reproach on account of their earrings
and that II Greece females alone wore
ornaments.

FLOWERS ana the Home.

Miss Ella Lvtle in ar essay before the
Montgomery Horticultural society Of
Missouri thus pret.ily treats the ques-
ton of house a~dornment:
The love OF the beautiful has been I'M
planted by q benifcent Creator in every
human breast. 1t finds expression in the
admiration of all that Is lovely and
charming in nature and art, and 1t
prompts men, and especially women, to
the adornment Of their persons and their
natural surroundings.
The love Of the beautiful has caused
men to travel thousands Of miles, TO en-
dure fatigue, ha7dship, and, even more,
to risk life itself that they might gaze
from some lofty mountain-peak, If but
ar hour or two, upon the exquisite beauty
Of a panorama spread out at their feet
upon a real picture painted in indescrib-
able colors by God himself.
Flower-gardcning has its charms, and
that Glass of gardening which deals with
landscape effects is delightful. shall
not try to have a flower garden this sum-
mcr for the want Of space, but shall ex-
ert myself to have a few choice house
plants and some real nice mounds of
flowers in the yard. / find that early in
the morning before sunrise IS the best
time to pull weeds, while the dew is yet
on the flowers and weeds. A woman can
very easily, and without much labor,
cultivate a few flowers, a. sutfieicncy for
home adornment.
Woman was made to beautify and grace
the home; to there perform that invlsi-
bic work which, aIthoughless prominent,
is necessary both to life and happiness.
The home is, in the majority Of cases,
her field of action; and the home is the
center of y.
Then let each wife and mother have a
place at their homes for the cultivation
Of flowers. They will reward us with
both beauty and fragrance. The progress
Of our race is indicated by the care oil
flowers. How they Irvine themselves tc
our hearts when sad and 1lone.

A New Wrinkle in Fashionable Societ,

The fertile brain of the New York
girl who pants for new worlds to con-
qucr has hit upon fancy riding as a novel
form Of amusement, which leaves tennis
Nand the gymnasium far behind. Clubs
are formed and a teacher engaged, who
has had, usually, an carly career under
the canvas and is skilled in various intri-
cate branches Of the equestrian art. The
pupils meet at a riding ring, and New
York, flircst daughters are taught to
hop gracefully into the saddle without
the assistance of a friendly hand, to dis
pcnsc with the saddle altogether, to ride
without bit or bride, to keep an I'M
shaken seat while their pet horses are
trained to dance and bob and knecl and
Jump. The New York girls begin by be
ing 1o0d horse women, says u CORE
| spondcnt Of the San Francisco Post, and
take to their new pastimc with natural
delight. Their success is dear to them,
and a great rivalry exists between the
various clubs WLlCh give "alternOOnS" Tor
the purpose Of paralyzing each other
with envy. The riders wear the conven-
tional short, dark habit and tall hat and
colors of the club on their whips. Parties
are made up for club afternoons, and the
invited guests are permitted to raise to
any point of wild enthusiasm their fancy
may suggest. Tie men wear the club
colors in their buttonholes, the girls tie
them on the handles of their parasols,
the ''Qucen Of the Ring" receives frantic
applause and responds to e%ncorcs, and
the whole affair is novel, exciting and
something like the circus, except that it
is ultra-fashionablc.
