Not the Age for Marriage.

But however the mother of son may look
at the subject of early marriages, the mother
of daughter is justified, it seems to me, in a
rather decided opposition to them II, in
stead Of being great and happy portion Of
the school of life, marriage constituted the
whole Of it, or life existed only for the sake
Of marriage, still those entering It's portals
must be the better for suitable preparation
l am unable to suppose that at the age Of Is
or 20 any preparation has been sufficient
The age is lovely in its tenderness, and en-
chanting with its illusions; but wisdom wears
q seyerer face, and marriage deals with stern
facts Some girls there may be, OF rare abil-
ity, who are competent to take upon their
young shoulders the responsibility Of house,
its work, or the direction Of those who do its
work: the oversight OF husbands wardrobe,
the bearing and nursing OF children, the ply
steal attention to them in health and in sick
ness, and the daily direction Of their moral
and mental education, together with all the
other indoor and outdoor cares Incidental to
the position Of one who is the head of fam
lily, and who has the happiness of home and
a husband on her heart and conscience But
these cases are few and exceptional, and the
great multitude Of girls under 90 are not
equal to such strain upon nerve and muscle
without an arrest of development A few
years later they may remember themselves at
that age as still children: they may feel some
reproach toward those who had laid upon
them such a burden greater than children
should bear
Before 20 a girl has hardly had the chance
to receive the complete instruction from text
books to which she has a right to say moth
ing of the domestic education of the kitchen,
the needle, the sick room: she has had little
chance to learn anything of the world of hu-
man nature, she has intuitions. not expert
ences; she has lived more with dreams and
ideals than with realities She may make
charming wife at first, and a tender mother al
ways maternal instinct and solicitude taking
the place Of all the superiority that added
years might have given. But she must stop
there taxed to the utmost. she has no
time, nor strength, aud perhaps-an in
clination grows by use-no inclination to
read, to study, to keep pace with husbands
advance, or even TO appreciate it. | will not
say that when. in few years, she has lost
the appearance of youth. when she has no
more fresh color and smooth face when q
pretty toilet no longer becomes her, the hus-
band who continues to cherish her will take
credit to himself for doing 50; but it is evil
dent that she encounters the danger of this
feeling On his part. -Phiiadelpnia Press.

her recent arrival Where did she come
FRONT No one knew Where did she liver
Still no answer. She was taken home in
burning fever toa garnet, where a very old
and feeble mother received her with fright
ened sobs A well known benevolent lady in
tho city, whose name heads many a charity
list, and whose unknown gifts to the unfor-
tunate each year exceeds a kings ransom,
heard of the case and went to the relief of the
sufferer. Strong men carried her down the
rickety stairs in their arms, while the aged
mother followed weeping, and in one Of the
handsomest carriages on the avenue the girl
was taken to the shelter OF a beautiful house.
All through her delirium she was begging
for cars and stages to stop for her, and ex-
claiming that she would lose fifty cents if
she was three minutes late Investigation
revealed that the girl had come to the city
from country home, destitute and I'M
known, In the hope Of finding employment
by which she might support herself and
her mother After many disappoint-
ments she obtained this place at $3.50 a
week, from which fifty cents was taken each
time she was late, and on which the two wo-
men had subsisted for ponths as best they
could Overworked and poorly fed, she had
fallen at her employers feet unconscious,
and he had paid no attention to her until
the wealthy woman went to him, and on
threatening exposure in the papers induced

This story is one of hundreds equally tragic
which might be told of the experiences Of
girls coming to this city each year for en-
ployment From every state in the Union,
from distant cities from rural towns. and
from foreign countries over the sea, girls
come in throngs to New York, attracted by
advertisements or instigaued by the thought
that in SO large city renunerative and con-
genial employment may be obtained by
simply asking for it. Most of them have
very little money and no idea of the expense
incident to living in New York in a respect
able. not to say comfortable, way. Most Of
their information concerning city life is
gathered from novels and newspaper stories,
where the heroine invariably finds some one
at the depot waiting to give her place as
companion to a wealthy lady, whose
only son the girl invariably marres in the
next to the last chapter.-New York Sun.

Outdoor Lilo for Blondes.

Now, what blondes Of all sorts need to lay
to heart is the indispensable necessity for
them of outdoor life Not hours Of amuse-
ment at tennis, or walking or driving. but
living out Of doors and in the sunshine when
1t shines at all They have the capacity for
large vitality, and the source Of all that is
vital is the sun They should never choose
indoor employment as clerks or teachers, but
turn gardeners, walking agents or market
women in preference, like the wiry, 6axen
haired German girl know, once maid to a
lady Of rank. who married young farmer
and drove round to sell the produce. In her
fresh, trim, linen gown and shade hat she
dressed the part perfectly, and, with the
light, spring wagon and good horse, driving
over the Bergen hills to carry her golden but
ter and ruddy pears or early salads, she was
as much in place. ladylike and pleasant
creature as one could wish woman to be.
The time Is coming when susceptible
women, as all blondes are, will not shut
themselves up in school keeping or house
keeping, to grow acid, wrinkled and furry
faced before they are so, but take to them
selves little acres to grow fruits and flowers,
under intelligent and profitable ''high cul-
lure. Shirley Dare.

The Value of Beautv.

The women of today are more and more
learning the value Of beauty; not merely
beauty Of form and face but the beauty of
health and the charm attained by a womanly,
gentle disposition Long dIatribes have been
written on how the fashionable girl is cared
for; most of them display little knowledge of
the SET that Is supposed to practice the art OF
caring for beauty or else positive ignorance
Of the art itself If the fashionable mother
only allowed the beauty sleep the bath and
rubbing to the daughter already "out she
would display very little care, for thought
must be devoted TO daughters appearance
from the time when-weil when she is put in
a tiny bassinette where the blue ribbons tell

cup OF Tea OF cOuea
The guests at tho table Of an acquaintance
Of mine not long since were unusually
pleased with the tea, and surprised to learn
that it was bought at the same store, and
was. in fact, the same that some Of them
were using at home 1t transpircd that the
tea had been kept in tight box until used,
and had been prepared by process which
one of the family had learned in Germany
This consisted simply in pouring boiling
water upon the tea. covering the pot tightly
with a cloth, setting it upon part Of the
stove where it would not boil, and serving
after a very short time The towel helped
to keep the water warm and the aroma from
escaping, and the tea when brought to the
table was most excellent OF course, things
Of this sort are Of no great consequence
Perhaps most Of Us would be better of if We
did not drink either tea or coffee, but II We
are going to use them we might as well have
the favor, which, suppose, is the least in
furious part.-Professor w. O. Atwater in

to take few minutes absolute rest after any
continued exercise An English girl is
taught to lie down at full length and close
her eyes for ten or fifteen minutes in a dark

of tennis and. what is more, she is made to

little rest Perfect quiet Of mind and body

THE BULLOCK CART.


The Tamil population dress as the southern
Indian does. BY the way, the tea and coffee
estates are worked and the heavy labor about
cities is done by coolies brought annually
from the coast of southern India, from NAL
abar to Madras. This region furnishes coolie
labor west Of Singapore, as the Chinese do
east thereof
This leads me to speak Of another mode Of
conveyance here and in India-4he bullock

but in other respects they vary in form and
appearance as much as the different breeds Of

groups clustered about the fireplace One
group was Halloween party watching chest
nuts roasting on the hearth. This scene
might BIZ looked at by anybody, but in her
chamber she had pictures that were destined
for her own eyes alone, or, at most, for those
of her most intimate friends. Around the
mirror was a circle of finely mounted photo
graphs OF her girl friends in their prettiest
robes de mutt.
