Let the Girls Romp.

Most mothers have dread of romps. 80
they lecture the girls daily on the proprieties,
and exhort them to be little ladies. They
like to see them very quiet and gentle and as
prim as possible. The lot of such children
Is rather pitiable, for they are deprived of
the fun aud frolic which they are entitled to.
Children-boys and girls must have exercise
to keep them healthy. Deprive them Of it,
and they will fade away like flowers without
sunshine Running, racing, skipping, climb
ing-these are the things that strengthen the
muscles, expand the chest and build up the
nerves The mild dose Of exercise taken in
the nursery with calisthenics or gymnastics
will not invigorate the system like good
romp in the open air.
Mothers, therefore, who counsel their little
girls to play very quietly make mistake.
Better the laughing, rosy checked. romping
girl than the pale, lily faced one, who IS
called every inch q lady. The latter rarely
breaks things, or tears her dresses, or tires
her mothers patience as the former does;
but, after all, what does the tearing and
breaking amount tot It is not wise policy
to put an old head on young shoulders Child
hood Is the time for childish pranks and
plays The girls win grow into womanhood
soon enough. Let them be children as long
% they can. Give them plenty Of fresh air
and sunlight, and let them run and romp as

A Livelihood in the City.

In a great metropolis like New York, the
methods by which people earn a livelihood
are immensely varied An old man who
goes about from house to house begging for
old tin cans says he makes very good living
by rolling out the sheets and then printing
small signs on them. A New Yorker makes
an income of $4,000 to $4,000 year as
broker of manufacturing buildings and sites.
Perhaps the oldest trade is that of the man
who goes around to the ragpickers and buys
from them all the perfect paper bags which
they gather. Paper bags are SO cheap when
new that it would seem impossible that any
one could make living from buying and
selling second hand ones The demand for
them, however, is vary great among the
small fruit stands which are to be found in
al Of the principal streets These fruit
dealers, by the way. generally have secret
arrangements with employees in the bag stores,
by which they get generous supply of paper
bags in exchange for fruit This accounts
for the fact that on almost every fruit stand
can be seen an assortment Of bags bearing
the imprint Of drygoods, grocery and other

Gas Explosions ON Steamships.


With the object of reducing the danger of
explosions of ga" in the bunkers Of her mai
esty's ships, the admiralty have issued new
rules for the government of the steam re-
serves According to these, directly after the
coaling of ship is finished, the engineer
officer is to see that the coal shutes are quite
clear of coal. Coal should not be taken on
board wet, as moisture sometimes causes a
rapid and dangerous generation of heat and
gas. While the decks are being washed after
coaling, the close bunker covers are to be re-
placed to prevent water passing into the
bunkers, and the coal should always be kept
as dry as possible. The ventilating pipes to
bunkers, when SO fitted, should be kept clear.
No light, except in safety lamp, is to be
used inside the coal bunkers until it has been
ascertained that they do not contain ex-
plosive gas; and special precautions in this
respect are to be taken for q few days after
coaling Where coal bunkers are not pro-
vided with permanent ventilating fittings,
the lids are to be taken OFF twice week, and
kept of at least ten hours during the week.
Every precaution is to be taken to ventilate
such bunkers before men are sent to work in
them. In order to render the ventilation
e@cient there must be at least two openings
-one for the admission Of pure air, and the
other for the escape Of foul air-and, where
the two permanent ventlating fittings do not
include both, the bunkw lids are to b taken
on periodically.-Lmdon Times.

Locked On Tor COMPANY.

Among the strange fetiches that survive
among race otherwise civilized and refined
is that of the parlor and best bedroom.
These are commonly the largest, coolest and
pleasantest rooms in the house, fitted with
the most attractive furniture, carpets and
pictures-and locked up for company. Was
ever such follys A man who affords him
self an agreeable apartment puts himself out
of it and will not let himself in unless the
clergyman is there, or unless somebody ar
rives from distant city or another street.
It is better to turn the Juvenile population
of the house into the parlor, to wear the best
carpets to shreds, to leave finger marks on
the mantel piece, to let them jump on the
bed in the best room until it has no more
spring in it than a restaurant chicken-it is
wiser to do this than to close and sancrify
these apartments, involving them in solem-
nifty, dampness and stuffy smell. Open the
blinds and windows and let the light and air
in; let the children in, too, and live there
yourself. Don't have things too fine to use.
If you own a piece Of furniture that you think
is too good for you, and that you find that
you can't live up toit, give it to museum
and have it put in glass case, or, better,
give it to friend who is not afraid of it,

shape Let him then be told that all those
revolvers are empty but one, which is loaded
with bal, and let an executioner then appear
and pick out twenty Of the revolvers one
after another and snap them at the ignorant
mans head. If the loaded pistol happens to
be among the score picked out, and the
offender is shot dead, we'll and good; he can

Facts Concerning Stage Wages.

GASto CONCERNING stage W3&e6s
The prevalence of the s'stage craze" among
women is not due to the love of excitement
or other emotional cause, but to the gener-
orally accepted opinion that they can make
q better living in the dramatic profession
than in any other vocation. To certain
extent this is true. The moment a woman
gains recognition as a trustworthy and capa-
ble performer in the legitimate drama or
light opera she commands salary from $50
a week upward for the entire season. Esti-
mating this at forty weeks would give q
minimum salary of 1,20O year, or $24 .
week. The position requires disbursements
unknown in other callings. She must have
agood wardrobe and be neatly if not hand
somely dressed in private life, and both Of
these conditions involve considerable out
lay. On the other side she receives a certain
discount in nearly al business dealings. Not
only do hotels, but milliners, bootmakers and
other tradesmen regularly give what are
known as theatrical rates." these meaning
an average discount of at least thirty per

In no other industry are such figures
known. The average shopgirl receives s6 .

dull seasons, these figures, small as they are in
comparison with those paid upon the stage,
are still further reduced. Besides this nota-
ble inequality is much more powerful

Strong, stiff, naturally moist hair needs q

borax, ammonia, carbonate Of potash and
