Now Mistress Murphy's theory that
'what'll kape one one'll kape two, while
plausible enough as a theory, had failed in
the testing. She not only consented in
Nell's plan; she helped her with such dis
abled furniture as she could spare.
And now, for seven years, Helen of Troy
had been the bread-winner.
1t had been no light struggle, but some

The old spirit of Lay a hand on Rhody

the eyes of Helen. 1t was only for a mo-
ment; the years had taught her to con-

"Rhody is goin' to be a teacher. The

Three months later, when Rhoda was

Helen of Troy, Nell of the alley, folded
her tired hands, no longer red and swol-

SUMMER DRESS GOODS.

Some of the new sateens and India silks
for summer wear are quaint and artistic
in design. One of the latter has a ground
on very dull terra Gotta, on which are
strewn irregular branches of the pink
Towering cherry. An olive green one is
sprigged with willow catkins and a dark
blue sateen has peach leaves all over the
breadth, while the border shows the ripe
fruit OF the peach tree among its leaves.
A charming one is of pale apple green
strewn with apple blossoms, and another
of Charles \. pink has sprays of migno-
nette. In dressy toilets these materials
are made up with surplice waists, the
fronts shirred slightly on the shoulders
and tapping from left to right in iichu
fashion, this tapping end being generally
gathered and finished with ribbow bows.
Whentl the neck is high a turned-over Byron
collar will take the place of the upright
band. Very frequently deep Vandyke col
lar and cuffs of embroidery will complete
the waist, being made in the case of ging-
hams of fine French work upon sheer crisp
crisp lawn. With all these bingham
frocks will be used many ribbons which
take the form of a number of pendant
loops and bows, fastening the collar, fin
ishing the cuffs and belt AID sometimes
appearing amid the drapery.

A BOX ON H EAR.

One of Browning's most beautiful and pa
thetie poems, and one ineligible to whom
soever runs, commentaries the act of an Ole
Earl of Arundel, who, having struck his
little child on the head, had the picture of
himself and the child painted, the child, as
he became in after years, imbecile from
the effects of that blow. 1t would be well,
we think, for every parent, and for all haV-
ing children on their hands, to commit
these verses to memory, and to put the
lesson in practice; for the injury done to
children by the quick and careless box on
the ear that is thought nothing of at the
time is something incaleulable. 1t is i'm
possible to hit a tender child a blow upon
so delicate an organ as the ear, and one
having such close Connection with the brain,
without doing an evil and unseen work,
even when the blow is given with the fiat
and open hand. The action, it has been
fully ascertained, has produced violent in
Examinations in the ear, and running dis
charges for years; blood has been known
to follow it Immediately; and when this
has not happened, partial and even total
deafness has been the consequence in
many instances, Intercranial difficulties
of a dangerous type are not at all rare
either, as the result of these admonitions;
idioey has been traced to them; and in
more thar one case of those surgieally ex-
amined it has been found that fatal brain
disease has followed a box on the ear.

WHAT THE HAWKS AND OWLS EAT

The United States 0~rnithologist has pre-
pared for submission to Congress an inter
estiag report on the food material found in
the stomachs of hawks and owls. Many
of these birds were caught and the post
mertem performed on them in the State of
New Jersey by DR.. A. +. Fisher, assistant
~ornithologist. Much difficulty was exper-
fenced by the assistant, as in some instances
a hawks craw was found to contain the
remains of a meadow mouse, a sparrow, q
frog, a grasshopper, an earthworm and q
snail. The craw of a marsh hawk, from
Bergen County, contained the remains Of
two meadow mice and a sparrow. A sharp
skinned hawk sho near Maplewood, had
Just Toasted on a swift oriole, while a red
shouldered hawk taken in Gloucester coun-
ty contained a fair-sized catfish. The eraw
of a short-eared owl from Haekensack con-
tanned a robin and two mice, and a barred
owl from Englewood had Toasted on a frog
and a red-backed mouse. A screech owl
from River Vale. had within it a sparrow,
a crawfish and a large spider, and a great
horned owl from Burlington county was
found to have dined upon a pigeon, a beetle
and a small snake. Many of the hawks
and W Is examined had preyed upon poul-
try and game birds. This information will
be circulated by Congressman for the bene-
fit of their rural constituents.

The art of dress is the first step in the
art of painting. BY the way IN which a
m wears colors we can see whether
she has the feeling of a c~olorist. Not ev-
erybody has it. For instance, pink and
blue are the f%ashion-all the women wear
them; we'll. those who put blue bows On a
r~ose-colored dress have an ordinary look;
precisely, on the other hand, those who
wear pink roses on a blue dress have a dis
tingue look. Why is that Nature has
given us this lesson in harmony. 1t is the
roses that stand out against the sky.
Whence the principle little pink on a
great deal OF blue. The observing eye,
the c~olorist, feels this without knowing
why. He also knows that green harmon
ICES with all shades, because all flowers
have green leaves. Finally, green and
blue-that is to say, the pure colors-do
not 90 together. Observe nature. She
will give you few blue flowers and their
leaves are never of a free green;-1he ART

AUTUMN LEAVES


The flowers spoke all summer as they choose.
They said in colors what they sweetest
thought.
They seized the jewelled dews, lights latest
glows,
And into living signs swift splendor
wrought.
All summer long the flowers The leaves
the leaves,
They were the slaves; they had no word TO
say.
They wore the russell livery, and pale sheaves
Gathered for grain, were not more mute
than they.
But reckless winds at last the flowers killed;
They withered into rags upon their stalks;
And then the leaves, too, felt their firm hearts
chilled.
Yet-hush! The dying forest nobly talks:
"Oh, slaves nave passion. The dumb ieaves
of toll
Accept not life ignobly-no, nor Death.
They show their colors,' Autumn's air and
soil
Burn with the inspiration ftheir breath.

1t is interesting to note that many of the
most advanced modern ideas on the sub
ject of the education of women are antici-
pated by Defoe in his wonderful Essay on
Projects, where he proposes that a college
for women should be erected in every coun-
ty in England, and ten colleges of the kind
in London. 81 have often thought of it,"
he says, "as one of the most barbarous
customs in the world that we deny the ad-
vantages of learning to women. Their
youth is spent to teach them TO stitch or
sew, or make baubles. They are taught
to read, indeed, and perhaps to write their
names or so, and that is the height of a
woman's education. And woald but ask
any one who slight the sex for their under
standing, What is a man Ia gentleman |
mean) good for that is taught no more ?
What has the woman done to forfeit the
privilege of being taught? Shall we up
braid women with folly when it is only the
error of this inhuman custom that hinder
ed them being made wiser?" Defoe then
proceeds to elaborate his scheme for the
foundation Of women's colleges, and en-
tiers into minute details about the archi-
lecture, the general curriculum, and the
discipline. His suggestion that the penal
who ventured to make a proposal of mar
rage to any of the girl students during
term time possibly suggested the plot of
Lord Tennyson's "Princess," so its harsh
ness may be excused, and in all other re-
spects his ideas are admirable.

OLDEST OF OLD MAIDS.
Good looks and GOOD Manners I'm An.
cIent Days and I'm LANG Syne."


The following description of a model
woman, written almost 5000 years ago, is
very pertinent to the matrimonial question.
"a virtuous woman who can find? For
her price is far above rubies. The heart of
her husband trusteth in her, and he shall
nave no lack of gain. She doeth him good,
and not evil, all the days of her life. She
seeketh wool and fax and worketh willing
ly with her hands. She is like the mer-
chant ship; she bringeth her food from
afar. She riseth also while it is yet night,
and giVeth meat to her household and their
task to her maidens.
"She c~onsidereth a field aud buyeth it,
with the fruit of her hands she planteth
a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with
strength, and maketh strong her arms. She
perceiveth that her merchandise is profita-
BILE; her lamp goeth not out by night. She
layeth her hands to the d~istaff, aud her
hands hold the spindle.
sShe spreadeth out her hand to the poor;
yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the
needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her
household; for all her household are clothed
with scarlet. She maketh herself carpets
of tapestry; her clothing is ine linen and
purple. Her husband is known in the
gates when he stitch among the elders of
the land. She maketh linen garments and
selleth them; and deIivereth girdles unto
the merchant.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she ~laugheth at the time to come. She
openeth her mouth with wisdom, and the
law of kindness is on her tongue.
'tShe looketh well to the ways of her
household and eateth not the bread of idle
ness. Her children rise up and call her
blessed; her husband, also and he praiseth
her, saying Many daughters nave don't
y%irtuonsly, but thou excellest them all.
Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain,
but a woman that feareth the Lord, she
shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of
her hands and let her works praise her in
the gates"
Need your correspondents who wanted
the men to state their ideals go any further
for the picture of a perfectly lovable wife !?
The writer was fortunate enough to be
blessed with a mother who filled the above
bill in every particular, and If he annot
find a wife as good he will try and be con-
tented to live a neglected old bachelor

DISEASE GERMS IN ICE

A great deal of careful experiment has
shown that water in freezing largely expels
its coarser visible contaRinations, and also
that a large proportion of the invisible
bacteria which it contains may he destroy
ed, even as many as ninety per cent. But
still large numbers may remain alive, for
many species are quite inyulnerabie to the
action of cold. 1t has been found that in
ice formed from water containing many
bacteria. such as water with sewage con-
taminatiou, the snow ice almost invariably
contains many more living bacteria than
the more solid, transparent part; so that
the snow layer should be especially avoid
ed in ice obtained from questionable
sources.
Unfortunately, the bacteria which cause
typhoid fever are not readily killed by
cold. and many remain alive for months,
fast frozen in a block of ice. But the ty-
phold fever germ can be present in water,
so far as we know, only when tits contain
mated with refuse from persons suffering
from the disease; so that if we can be GER
tain that our ice was cut from water I'M
contaminated with sewage or human
waste, we have nothing to fear from its use
so far as this disease is concerned.
