Homo Training of Girls.

l do not doubt that my experience is q
common one when, looking back, | perceive
how much that has been most valuable to
me i'll actual life l got from my mothers
carly teaching. Day utter day | sat by her
side with my doll and Gatclcd her rs she
cwed. | learned to shape, to join with
ncatncsS and to sew with easy dcXtcrity every
little garment i'll the mimic wardrobe. Cow
easily, how unconsciousl.y, this training was
put to use when my w children came!
Between her bread board and the wall
there was Il narrow niche, just deep enough
TO be filled by Il slender child, and there |
le;lned to make pastry, to mold biscuit, TO
mix various cakes ind sweet dishes. | did
not know that l was learning; I was happy
watching mother and waiting for the piece
of dough which L knew She would give mo
when she had finished, to knead and twist
into queer shapes to please myself. Often,
too, she had u little cake or pic to bake for
my especial pleasure. There were years later
almost wholly engrossed by study, but when
| became Il housekeeper, not afraid, yet con-
scious of some lack of preparation, oil these
buried secrets of different kinds Of skill canlo
back to me, q beautiful gift from those dear
hands and that tender heart.
1t is impossible to tell how much q happy
child learns from the mere daily companion
ship Of the mother, busy with her domestic
duties. The happy child! That is half tho
secret Of a wise mother. 1t is almost certain
that the child who is happy is dong we'll.
What makes it happys 1t is not luxurious
surroundings that does it; certainly not the
elegance of its richly adorned clothes, OF the
number and costlinesi of toys and elaborate
means of amusement. These may minister
to the vanity of lovo of display of the ra
rents, but hardly to the real comfort or do
light of the child.-Mrs. Goodale in Christian
at Work.

Won,an's Crown of Glory.

A woman's hair may grow to the length of
six feet. Nine. Hess, of Paris, refused 5000
francs for her "cranial covering" which was
about that measurement. -Four hundred
hairs of average thickness would cover ar
inch of space. The blonde bell has about
l40, 70 filaments to comb and brush, while
the red haired beauty has to be satisfied with
$1,000; the brown haired damsel may have
100000; the black haired but l02, 600. Few
ladies consider that they carry some forty or
fifty miles of hair on their heads; the fair
haired may even have to dress seventy miles
of threads of gold every morning. AGerman
experimentalist has proved that q single
hair will suspend four ounces without break
ing, stretching under the process and con-
tracing again. But the hair thus heavily
weighted must be dark brown, for blonde
hair breaks down under two and a half
ounces. No wonder then that ''beauty can
draw love by a single hair."-Emile Nou-
veau in Philadelphia Times.

Porter .Ashe has made up his mind THAT the

This Is significant, because lie was n rival
of Freddy Gcbhard in the wooilg of Mrs.

or outspohcn honesty.

Scared by the Bugaboos.

In families where children are given over
to the care of nurses to any extent, there is
great danger to the nerves of the little Ico
ole from the character of the entertainment
afforded them by the conversation of the
nurses, whose delight it often is to relate the
marvellous, and to aggrandize their own i'm
portance by their assertion of their knowl-
edge or personal connection with the marvel
which gives it vcrisimilitude. The number
of children who are terrified to sleep by the
stories told them by nurses is something that
would astound loving mothers if they knew
it. Giants, ghosts, hobgoblins, wild beasts,
unknown creatures, and unshapcd monsters of
the dark, haunt tho twilight of their dreams
and disturb and break the hours of deep sleep,
and nerves are disordcred and little brains
inflamed in u way that is unguesscd by those
who know nothing of these nursery tales. 1t
would DO well if every mother, when cngug
ing nursery maids, warned them against
such a practice under severe penalty, and
took pains nfterward to observe that the
warning had effect. If eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty in political affairs, it as
suredly is i'll domestic ones, md there can bc
no moro blessed liberty i'll life than freedom
from the fear aud horror which make the in
fancy of SO many nurse ridden children lntol

Wnrdins Off Invalidism,

1t Is no wonder that SO many women arc
turned out Oh IL mild Tartar fashion. pllvsic-
ally, they are capable of such ignorant neg
lect. "IEcrc is no creature so Systematically
abused us woman from the cradle to the
grave" a clever doctor once surprised me
by saying, and he went on to particuluriZo
their neglect OF needful clothing. In his
wide practice i'll III old, wealthy country

of today walks about in warm tailor gowns
and never thinks of going without her rub

probably never is warm.
III summer the air sweeping over the per
sl!rins skin chi!ls it; in winter She sllivcrs
and puts furs III her backbone, when shc
should draw Oh her flannel bathing drawers

%cyanoptic complexion OF the flushed face

sometime make an curly death seem desirable

every woman who would preserve such good

herself with II sensible outfit. The finer tho

The Influence of Pins,

strength and persistence of the mascu!,i!c

pins alone. and when n pin has served its pul'-
pose, she throws it recklessly and hcartlessly
away. 1t is impossible that long continuance
in such n course of action should fail to nave
