Education of Women.

If the higher education of women
means course of study from begin
ming to end exactly like that for men.
we are inclined to thini- the higher
education will never he popular. We
are disposed to think it is best to have
two sexes in this world: but if thcr
must be reduced to one, let us not turn
the better into the worse half of the
race; let us not turn the women into
men. hut the men into women, if we
must have revolution. In the great
est number of cases men only must do
the work of men, and women the work
of women. This means that their edu-
cation must be varied to adjust them
To their respective missions in life.
Where there are exceptional cases in
which women must do mems work. it
is nothing short of n hardship and mis-
fortune. Schools with exceptional
courses may be needed to meet the
wants of such eases, but they will bear
as small proportion to the whole NUM-
Der of female colleges rs the number
of these exceptional cases bears TO the
whole number of women in the land.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Styles OF Dress and Materials Which May
BE Considered Elegant.

Exceptionally stylish are the very
long Spanish polonaises worn upon the
promenade. made of dark blue, green,
golden brown, gray, or dark Venetian
red broadcloth. These polanaises fall
in straight, undraped lines and cover
the dress completely even to its mar
row foot-pleating. Many of these gar
ments are severely pain in style, being
finished simply with II band of black
bear-skin at the neck and upon the
edge of the half-open sleeves cut ia
sabot. Other polonaises are garniturcd
with appliqucs in silk cord lin which
tufts of fur are introduced), fur girdles
and epaulets or cape collars in seal
skin or beaver Persian lamb-skin.
blue fox and lynx are also used to dec
crate. Much unnecessary weight is
given TO these otherwise desirable gar
ments by the superf1uous addition of
very wide bands of fur around the bot
tom of the polonaise where no addi-
tional warmth is required. 1t is not an
uncommon sight to see a gown or gar
ment weighted upon the skirt portion
with yards of heavy fur, while around
the throat, chest and wrists. where it is
really needed. there is not even tiny

women, however. still elect for the

silk-warp Henrietta cloths. vigognes,
limousines and other eNquisiteIy fine
woolens which they consider far more
elegant and refined. Similar ideas
prevail, however. in the matter of the

A TALK TO MOTHERS.
How Many Inconvenience Themselves
md Injure Their Little Ones

md iniure Their Little Ones
Quite a natural fault, and one exceed.
;ngly common. is for mothers to hold
their infants altogether too much. BY
so doing they inconvenience them
selves and injure their little ones. Very
many mothers say that sit takes about
all their time to attend to the baby"
In almost all instances where this is
true it is their own fault. When once
the bad habit is formed of taking the
little one up as soon as it shows signs
of waking, is restless, or disposed to
cry, the mother is henceforth slave to
its caprices, and no tyrant can be mole
exacting. This is by no means tri-
fling matter. Into every home, how
ever poor and humble. baby should
bring the sunshine of happiness; but
does il always do this? 1t is doubtful
if single parent can be found to say
no; and yet there are not few who
would, if they gave honest expression
to their thoughts, say that the coming
of the little one was misfortune. The
man nature, who are Influenced by
what they see, as well rs by what they
hear, and doubt the latter in the alb
sence of proof.
If healthy, and a baby is properly
managed from the first. it ought to, in
its early months of life, pass fully
eighteen hours in sleep. As age adj
vances, the amount required becomes
less, but even ut two years it ought to
sleep thirteen or fourteen hours out of
the twenty-four. There are more chill
dren who do not get this amount of
sleep than there are who do, and yet it
is essential to their well-being. Now it
is clearly apparent that mothers who
are forced Ito do their own work.
need not sacrifice so much time to their
infants as many do, and neglect other
important cares; it is when they do
neglect their other duties that distrust
rs to the actual blessing in the form of
the baby begins.
There a"e. of course, exceptions, but
in too many homes evidence is not
wanting that the advent of baby is
more or less of hardship. which is
shared by every member of the family
The mother, poor soul, finds her cares
multiplied; and if the newcomer is
troublesome, she may be forced. if not
she soon finds it easy. to neglect or
but imperfectly perform, her household
duties. Disorder is most often the first
symptom manifested; and this is soon
followed by lack of cleanliness, first
in the mother appearance, then in the
surroundings, and finally the little one
suffers from this grave fault. The hus-
band finds his home less inviting, and
the cheering influence of the baby can
scarcely compensate for the doicful
change which has take place about
him. Both he and the mother, I'M
fortunate through her own fault Of
management, must soon ask them
selves. neither daring. however, to
breathe doubt to the other: "Was it,
after all, for the best?" Many readers
will say that it is drawn from the fancy
of the writer, and yet some few will |
recognize the picture as true to life,
barely outlined though it is.-BostOn

THE MASCULINE WAY.
Mr.. Bixby's Superior Method of seIectin:
and Buying Beefstcak.


and Buying Beefstcak.
The trouble with you women is, ;"
said Bixby to his wife. THAT you talk
too much, especially when it comes to
business. A man can buy and sell a
cargo of wheat while woman is order
ing a pound of steak. You ought to
herr me give an order for meat, and
profit thereby"
Mrs. Bixby did hear him the next
day. She walked down town and heard
him say TO the butcher:
"Ah, Blood. got something in the
way of nice steak to-day. something
rich and juicy for me? Can't palm off
any stringy, gritty meat on me. And
you want to cut it the right way,
Blood. Half the steaks are ruined in
the cutting of them. What's steaks
worth to-day? Twenty-eight cents?
Great Scott! You can buy beef by the
carload ont West on foot for six cents
pound. Somebody's making an out
rageous profit. Beef ought not to be
worth cent over fifteen cents here,
and there'd he money in it at thirteen
cents No, don't like the look of that
piece of s:rloin. 1t isn't the right color
to suit me. Beef to he tender and
sweet should be-let me see that piece
hanging up there"
In something less than half an hour
he has bought two pounds of steak, and
rs they walk away he says triumphant
ly to Mrs Bixby:

The White House Coachman.

Albert Hawkins, n muscular negro,
born a slave in Anne Arundel County,
Maryland, in his boyhood and youth
was quite a local celebrity of the racing
and fashionable stables. Soon after
the war General Grant heard of his
skill with horses. He sent for him and
put him in charge of his stables. When
he became President he put him in
charge of the stables of the executive
mansion. President Grant always
kept ten or twelve horses, generally
blooded and spirited. Upon one occa-
sion while driving to attend n requiem
mass to King Victor Emanuel under
the auspices of the Italian legation his
four high-strnng horses took fright and
dashed away at a break-neck speed.
Albert's strength was not sufficient to
check them. With his accustomed
GOODNESS he ran them into the swinging
chains around the nearest park. which
gave the President and those with him
time to alighs, The coachman, gather
ing up his reins. extricated the horses
from their dilemma, and once more
getting them on the street, gave them
an orerhauling which put quietus
upon their disposition to get away.
Albert has been the coachman of every
new President since. and has an inter-
esting collection of autograph letters
testifying to his skill and GOODNESS in
managing horse sh.-AlbanyJ Journal.
