Heln ana Girl VINO roil..

How wish to heaven that every man
could only bear in mind that this young girl
who is trying to get forward in her hard work
has mother at home eagerly waiting for
her, father whose only hope Is this child.
And, even il she has neither-no friend at all,
even-the case is more pitiful still And so,
for the love of God and the honor Of woman
hood, your mother and your sister, do not
hold her back, but help her forward. Hold her
failing, fair hands up in this new, hard, and
experimental life, for she is not strong. Her
work takes all her strength She is often
pitifully weak, helpless. In such case stand
by her side like brother. Be a man, and
she win be a woman joaquin Miller.

PUPILS MODELLING IN CLAY.

How Artistic Operations Are Conducted in
the Chicago Public Schools.
Since the commencement of the present
year several novel exercises have been intro
duced into the lower grades of the public
schools One of them is called by the various
superintendent and special teachers in the
department of fine arts modelling in clay"
but the children who have been compelled to
lay aside their readers, spelling books, and
arithmetics for the purpose of engaging in
this new occupation call it making mud
pies" A few little girls belonging to the best
families, who never had an opportunity to
play in the mud of our cutters, enjoy the
sport hugely, but most of the other children,
especially the boys, have a sublim contempt
for it.
A visit to a school where the plastic art is
practiced will show how operations are con-
Quoted. At given time all the books,
states, and paper are removed from the
desks, and each pupil is furnished with a
paper plate, lump of soft mud, string,
pencil, knife, and several short sticks The
teacher, with a manual before her,
takes small lump of mud in her
hand, and proceeds to fashion it in the form
of a marble, which she informs her pupils is
a sphere. Her pupils then follow her exam
pie, and present their balls of mud for exam
nation. If they are nearly round they are
directed at given signal to slap the soft ball
with the palm of the hand, and to construct
an isosceles triang.e or an equilateral triangu-
lar prism. While engaged in this operation
their minds are presumed to recall, if their
mouths do not utter, the words of enc of
Mother Gooses melodies:
After the pupils have been taught to form
spheres, cylinders, ana ellipsoids out of clay,
they are expected to bring apples, bananas,
tomatoes, cucumbers, and other fruits and
vegetables to school and to reproduce their
forms in plastic mud. They are also to make
models of muffs, rolling pins, stove-pipes, and
shareholders. Another new exercise intro
duced in schools is that of "baying sticks, !"
or, as the children call it, playing with
jack-straws." Still another one is that of
"folding paper" or, in the language of the
pupils, making paper dolls" The drill in
"playing with jack-straws' and making pa
per dolls" is expected to precede or follow
that of making mud pies" The manual
calls for drill in each of these exercises
every day-Chicago Times.

The Perfect Confidence of Children.

There is one thing l wish to speak of that
seems to me of great importance, and that Is
that mothers should have the perfect conf.
dence Of their children When / was a child
my good mother taught me from my earliest
recollection to confide to her every childish
secret. She led me TO believe land think
rightly that it was as wrong to conceal any
act of naughtiness from her as to commit the
act itself And in this way my mother came
to be my confidant, my confessor really, from
my earliest recollection. The conversation of
my playmates / was sure to repeat to her,
and so She soon found who were fit associates
for Inc. Any wrong advice given me she
could speedily right, every evil seed sown ia
my childish mind she was quick TO sproot.
Oh, have thanked God a thousand times
that my mother won my confidence in this
way. lie only knows tee snares have been

The sounds of rejoicing and music at the
charity ball had hardly died away before tho
newspapers published story of desolation
and suffering that almost surpasses belief. 1t
came in the way OF an official document
made by the state labor commissioner. Ii
treats Of the wrongs and suferings Of the
working women of the state and especially
of New York. The picture he draws of the
terrible exactions put upon the saving women
of New York city almost passes credence, and
his picture of their life in tenerent houses
illustrates how sadly in need OF charity
practical charity--this great city is.
He AYERS that women employed upon
cloaks, mems pants, vests ETC., labor fourteen
hours day for from so to 60 cents and that
ON some other grades of sewing 10 cents day
is tho average of earning. 1t would be ex-
ceedingly difficult for charity, however well
disposed, TO reach many of this large class
of overworked and underpaid women.
1t is only when sickness comes and restitution
is at the door that they make an appeal to the
many splendid institutions for the care of the
needy that are scattered all over the city. In
communities like this, where thousands Of
poor people are crowded into dirty quarters
and compelled to labor night and day to keep
soul and body together, it is hard to make
even fair beginning in the way of looking
out for the cases of restitution which can be
found on every hand.
Competition is SO great, especially among
women and girls, that manufacturers can get
their work done at almost any price. As long
as human nature remains greedy, and there
is such scramble for trade these poor fe-
males who labor with their needle must suffer.
Then again it is this class that is first affec ted
by a decline in prices A reduction in wages
comes upon those who can least stand
it, and what the future of the workingwomen
of New York is to be God only knows If
this report is true they are fast reaching the
plane of like classes in LONDONDERRY York
Cor Philadelphia Times.

High Demands Upon womanhood.

Never was there such high demands upon
womanhood as now. They see that they are
expected to come up to lofty standard, and
that society depends upon them for its high
est pleasures. To be an ideal and yet to be
severely real is the task set before them. The
result is that many women undertake too
much. The mind is oyerstrained to meet UNI
reasonable expectation, and this modern
tyranny Of ideal women works havoc among
those who, most sensitive to duty and inn
pulsive aims, are sure to be most co, tely
sacrificed. Louise Phillips in The Current.

To neirhten the oxster Fla.or.

1t is a mystery unknown to most oyster
caterers, and which is a secret known to only
a few experts in epicurianism. that there Is
such thing as heightening the oyster flavor
proper by iInparting to IL some of the taste OF
the sheil--lust as we may enrich the flavor OF
a peach by abstracting a very little of the
bitter flavor of the peach pit
We win add the oyster-shell flavor to the
native flavor of tho oyster meat by pursuing
the following course: Select dozen of the
largest, freshest and most highly favored
oysters, such as you would for a fry. Both
shells being washed perfectly clean place shell
and all, one by one, in the pan with the round
shell down. Now place in an oven. Pretty
soon you will see the shells slightly open
When this takes place retire the oysters frori
the fire. Remove the top shell very carefully
and see to it especially that you retain as
much as possible the oyster juice. Deposit on
each oyster very small piece of the freshest
and sweetest of table butter--all of the vile
stuff which we call cooking butter" to be
thrown to the dogs Also, a little cracker
dust and pinch of salt Now return again
to the oven in the lower shell for from fifteen
to twenty minutes. When cooked to taste do
not empty into any dish, or even pan, but eat
directly from the oyster shell, squeezing on
each few drops of the juice of fresh, yell
DOWNRIGHT lemon.--The Caterer.
Curtains for BadIy-Lighted Room.
The. following advice is given to q cor
respondent who wants to know a cheap but
effective way of curtaining the narrow and
disproportionately high windows of poorly
lighted sitting-room: Cut off from the upper
part of the window enough to make the
window proportionate to the width and fill
in the upper part with japanese lattice-work,
which can be bought very cheap at almost
any of the Japanese stores Below have a
rather narrow brass pole with the usual brass
rings From this suspend "Crete" curtains,
which are transparent but heavier than tho
similar grenadine goods called "Madras."
With light buff or rich cream color window
shade as background for the lattice-work, as
it will be if the shades are kept down q foot
or two, you will retain more light in the room
than you could secure by the use of any other
kind of curtains and have an artistic effect,
at a small expense. -Art Amateur.
