The Vortex Of City Life.

A Boston newspaper man says that the
reckless and ignorant way in which country
girls fling themselves into the vortex of city
life is remarkable and startling. One girl
who reached Boston without cent, being
asked what she had expected to do, said: II
don't know; but supposed there might be
some hotel near the station where I could go,
and they would take me in and let me work
for my board until got place" Another,
showing fifty cents, oil the money she had,
said: "There, that's all the money have got;
do you suppose there is any house in Boston
where can stay the night for thats sup
pose l am sure to get work tomorrow.
Others have said: ''Oh, we are going to ask
some one at the station what we had better
do" It is proposed to establish society to
protect such foolish young women.-New

Health Of American School Girls-Skin
Troubles-Beneflts of the Bath.
A society of collegiate alumnn has issued
same interesting literature on the subject of
the health Of school girls. Among some Of
the causes of the semi -invalidism and increas-
ing number Of nervous diseases that exist
among even young girls, it enumerates the
following:
l. Social dissipation and excitement. 2.
Habitual loss of sufficient and healthy sleep.
g. 1rregularity and haste in taking food, tho
omission of breakfast and the use Of stimu-
lating, innutritious diet, such as condiments,
pastry, etc 4. Tight, heavy or insufficient
clothing 5. The ambition of parents and
daughters to accomplish much in little time.
It states that inquiries made in school
rooms revealed great neglect of the laws of
health on the part Of the pupils. In New
York academy a class Of sixty girls between
the ages Of II and IS years CHANGED to be
asked by Il visitor at what time they retired
the night before. The average was found to
be twenty minutes before midnight, but no
surprise was manifested by teachers or regret
by pupils. Out Of ninety girls questioned
one morning in q public school, twelve had
eaten no breakfast; of these twelve, six had
brought no luncheon, the other six had cake,
pie or similar indigestible food.

Ham as Epicures Like It,

Epicures say that cooking ham in sweet
cider gives SO delicious favor that once
tried the ordinary way will never satisfy
again. First, be sure that the ham is sweet
and not too salt. Scrub and clean it well,
put into hot water and soak over night and
remove the rind; then trim nicely and boil in
sweet cider. Put some sweet new hay in the
bottom of kettle, place the ham on this and
ssroyer with sweet cider; bring slowly to the
boring point and simmer till tender. When
you can probe it with fork easily it is done.
Take out on to sieve to drain, sprinkle
thickly with crumbs mixed with brown
sugar and set in the oven for ten minutes.

of all varieties of the popular pet bird They
are somewhat larger than common canaries
and have very soft, sweet notes.
The English robin, beautiful bird and fine
singer, is coming into favor as pet.
Other imported song birds that are much
liked are linnets, thrl1shes, bulfinches, black
birds, magpics, goldfnches, nightingales,
black caps and starl;ngs. Starlings, bull
finches and blackbirds are often trained to

Artistic Value of Red Hair.

A friend Of mine, all artist, suggests new
utility for that crowning glory of the fair
sex, good bead of red hair. lie tells me
that it is impossible to find model with hair
that is worth painting Neither the draped
models nor the women who pose nude possess
this requisite. Even when the hair is good in
color it is SO coarse in texture as to resist
most efforts to handle it or put it up in u
pictorial fashion. This may also be due to
neglect in brushing and cleansing it, but, at
any rate, among the models he AYERS that tho
facts are as he states Outside the studio
world there are some superb heads of hair
that painter might esteem himself happy in
being privileged to paint.-Alfred Trumble

Pimples and B!ackheads.

Pimples and blackhcads on the face are oc-
casloned, says Herald of Health, by the
torpid state OF the skin; Or, in other words,
by the inability of the skin to perform its
proper functions. The cause of these spots
is nothing more or less than an obstruction
OF the pores Of the skin; the perspiration
being allowed to accumulate, the mouths of
tho pores getting clogged, irritation ensues
and pilnple or black head results. The
only way to be rid of them is to allow the
skin to do its own work, by preserving it in a
healthy condition and by keeping the whole
system in order. The following ointment is
recommended: Take an ounce of barley meal
(tho finer the better), one ounce of powdered
bitter almonds, and sufficient quantity of
honey to mako smooth paste, and apply
this frequently.

Over Stimulation of Young Brains.

The practice of giving tea and coffee to
young children cannot be too strongly con-
demned. Childhood is the period when ner-
vous activity is very great. The brain is
ever busy in receiving new impressions. Re
TEX action, coordination of the muscles. and
the special senses are all under a constant
course of training. The nervous system is
pushed to its utmost capacity, and long is tho
list OF victims that follow its over stimula-
tlons. In little people nothing but harm can
come from the use of such cerebral stimu-
lants as tea or coffee.
