Women who go into business, either from
choice on necessity, should acquire business
habits, adopt business methods, and possess
themselves Of ell knowledge Of details and
general information. There should be no
sentiment about it, they should expect no
immunity from disagreeablcness on the score
Of being ladies' their prospect Of marriage
should hayeno more effect ON their work than
it has with that OF men
Their dress should suit the requirements Of
the occupation. In no dress does girl look
neater, prettier or more graceful than that
adopted for gymnastics or lawn tennis,
both OF which give fullest play for all move
ments. How much better would many work
ing girls look and feel and work in such
dresses than in the raudy, tawdry iinery so
many of them wear These should have their
business suits inst as men do. They should
also reali7: that in obtaining employment
weak backs and pale faces and general debil-
ity are at discount They should expect
no fayors on the score Of sex; they should
call for no privileges; they should call for no
foolish notions as to chivalry and Difference
and all that Business is business, and this
is not an age Of chivalry, but of political
economy and the survival of the fittest -

One chapter OF Mrs Diazs "Bybury to
Beacon Street is so full of sound sense that it
deserves to be quoted entire, and not par
TALLY, and must quote it. In brief, the
mother of a family, after hard forenoon's
work, ha given up to tears, for her girl and
boy had gone away leaving their tasks un-
done, and the burden of the day seemed to he
growing greater than she could bear
Her husband, finding her thus discour-
aged inquired into the matter, and came to
the conclusion that the children should be
made to realize that part Of the household
work belonged to them, and not that they
were generously helping mother when they
gave assistance.
$50 one evening, after Laura had finished
her examples, her father asked her to write
down all the different things | had to do in
the different days Of the week. She began to
write, her father and Fred prompting when
her memory failed.
"Tho list covered both sides Of the slate
Husband wrote at the beginning for title
Mothers VI ork, and then remarked that it
was good deal Of work for one person
"I help her some, said Laura.
"'Nes, said he, 4 suppose you call what
you do helping her, and that Fred calls what
he does helping her, but after all you are
only helping yourselves Mother eats Il small
part of the food she cooks, aud wears IA small
part of the clothes she makes and washes
and irons and meuds. So all This work is
not really hers, but only hers TO do
"Then he rubbed out the Itlo and wrote in
its place: 'Ihe Family Work whilh is Called
Mothers Work
Nov, | should like to know said he,
why meiubeJa of the family consider it a
favor TO mother when they do parts of their
own work.
"'For instance, | have noticed that to get
meal and clear it away there must be wood
and water brought, vegetables got, cleaned
and cooked, other things cooked, the table
set, dishes washed, knives secured, and some
tidying Of the room afterwards. Now It
doesn't seem right for one person TO do all
this labor and for other persons to feel that
their part is only the eating part That isn't
fair play"
Having convinced the children that it was
not, indeed, fair play, he proceeded to allot
them certain portion of the family work
for their own doing. Let us all profit by
the hint, no longer pluming ourselves on

BIRD KITE AND FRAME USED IN MAKING IT.


The Chinese kite in its simplest form is
quite different from the home made kite of
the American boy. The frame consists OF
one stiff bamboo stick extending lengthwise
through the center of the kite and two
slightly curved rods at top and bottom.
TO this is pasted sheet of paper somewhat
loose at the sides, where, under the action Of
the wind, pockets are formed that keep the
affair in an excellent position of equilibrium.
Kites of this kind are about three feet in
width
Among ingenious fancoS Of the Chinese
is their bird kite, which with the frame used
in making it il illustrated in the cut, where
the manner Of attaching the string is also
plainly indicated. The thin paper attached
to the wings moves under the action of the
wind and Stimulates the Tapping Of the wings
This kite is sometimes three feet in length.

A RETURNED DELEGATE.
WHAT lie THINKS OF THE sITUA-
TON AT NASHVILLE.
Tho Chances OF Taylor's Nomination
How the Senatorial Contest is Com
plicated With the Gubernatorial
Scramble-Some OF tho Possibilities.

A delegate who had strayed home from
the Nashville convention was apprehended
by an APPEAL reporter yesterday, and
asked to tell what he knew about the stu
alton. The first question propounded was;
What arc the chances Of Taylor's NOM
ination?"
There is no chance il the opposition re-
mains as determined as hitherto. II is
possible, however, that Taylor may sue
coed IN wearing out the opposition"
What is the relation OF Taylor to the
senatorship?"
Taylor is not, think, q candidate him
self. lie is in no sense available, and no.
body is talking of him in that connection"
10 whom will Taylor throw his sup
port?'
II don't think he is the kind of man TO
throw his support TO anybody. He pur-
poses to stick TO the bitter end, and is not
disposed to make gifts to anybody"
VINO are mentioned as possibilities"
Wilson, Of Middle Tennessee, has made
himself popular because OF the fair
ness OF his rulings while acting as
chairman. Ingersol, OF East Tennessee,
has been mentioned, but like McNlillin,
he seems to have too much brains TO ac-
cept The governorship, you know,
IL regarded rs sort OF spring-board 10 the
senatorship, and this fact knocks out the
ideal candidates. There is nobody offer
ing from West Tennessee. Caldwell had
no show, though he il an admirable man
for tho place, having both brains and
character. Daniel, who is most
excellent man, and who would
make a very fine sovernor, might
have secured the nomination il il had not
been for the Anti. Prohibitionists. The
Ants are simply making geese Of them
selves. They won in the last election and
now seem disposed TO rub il into the Pro-
hibtionists. IL is most foolish policy,
but they seem 10 be wholly reckless"
What would be the efIectof Trousdale's
election?"
lie is in nobody's way II elected he
would simply assist his friends, and il
these should be Harris friends why, SO
much the better for Harris"
why does Harris support TAYLOR"
The support IL not sincere. The Ilar-
lis men hold TO Taylor simply because he
has shown tue strongest front, and they
stick TO him because they fear the conse-
qnences OF general break up"
Then there is, In your opinion, no new
figure looming above the horizonP"
There Is not, and the nomination may
yet 60 TO Taylor by default. The senate
rial issue is closely interviewer with tn,
gubcnatorial issue. No man, il seems tC
me, would be nominated for Governor
who was big enough TO be senator. There
is plenty OF good material in West Ten
nessee, but 1t Is shut out under the condi
tionB."
