A LITTLE WHEEDLER.

With manner very meek
Against her dear old face, in loving mood.

Then fixed her ruffied cap,
And nestled in her ap,
While grandma, smil NJ, rocked her old arm

Girls as Workers.

A girls mind DEVELOPS very rapidly, much
more rapidly than an average boys; and
when an intelligent girl shows any special
ability in one direction she improves in that
especial direction so quickly that one Is de-
ceived into thinking she has a genius for it;
she herself becomes fired with ambition,
works her-and many girls can work in q
way that would shame some boys-build
castles in the air of future fame and great
ness, gives up other interests and hopes for
the one aim, which, alas! is so often disap-
pointed. Nineteen out of every twenty
might we not say ninety-nine out of every
hundred?-girls stop when you think they
are going TO do something worth doing, and
never get any further. They have talent
which education has brought out and de-
ceived them into installing for genius. There
is, however, one very great advantage IN the
present rage for classes of all kinds, and in
the facilities for study in all directions; 1t
gives many girls an object in life, even If
they do not do anything very great for the
benefit of the nation.-Tinsley's Magazine.

Keeping Servants.

More than any class of women in the
world, if we except the indolent Asiatic, do
American women need servants We have
not the robust frame nor the sturdy strength
of the British matron or the German haus-
frau. Our climate is exhausting, our lives
are varied and exciting, our frames are
slight and our nerves are weak We can do
much with our heads-much planning and
thinking, much arranging and directing. 10
supplement this we need the strong arms, the
tireless backs of the peasant women OF the
old world. If we were wise and sensible
enough to pay them moderately, but fairly,
to make them dress suitably and live plainly,
in every case where we now have but one
pair of hands to assist in the household work,
while we make shift to do the rest, we might
have two. Yes, there is no question that If
the maid Of all work, who now receives $40
per month, and is fed "like one of the fam
ily," were to receive the same wages that an
English housekeeper would pay, to eat what
English servants are given to eat instead OF
our brois and roasts and dainty luxuries in
the way of desserts, the jaded female head OF
our smaller American households would find
that she could keep two girls" without
adding one dollar to her yearly expenses

The Question of vocations.

instead, therefore, Of citing it as proof
of the unfitness of woman for high educa-
.ional position that she may leave 1t any day
to be married. we should rather say that she
in that case honors two Offices in turn, one of
which a man might perhaps have filed
equally, while the other-that of the creator
of the home-no man can I'll, SO that 1t must
be hers alone. Under such circumstances her
half career Of official work, followed by a
career of other kindred duty, may well count
for more than the whole lifetime of many a
worthy masculine president who has flle0
that vocation only. But. after all, bow
subordinate matter is this question Of VEGA
tionsl What really exerts influence is the
man or the woman. Where HcGregor sits
there is the head Of the table. And, as Jean
Paul finely puts 1t in his "Levana," woman
is first and chiefly human being, and no es-
pecial vocation can overbalance or replace
that, but must become its means, not Its end

Housekeepers and Homekeepers.

I have heard mothers declare that they
never found time to read to their little ones ;
and to tell them story would have seemed
frightftl waste of time, and have looked at
the ruffies on the pinafores and skirts OF those
little ones and reflected that the ironing alone,
TO say nothing of the making, OF those be-
ruffied garments would take more time than
the reading or telling OF many stories

although the paint is sometimes grim and
the windows dingy, my boys, who are well
grown lads. declare that they find no place SO
pleasant do not deny that 1t is cross to a
woman to look at undone work, but like most
crosses, the longer and more cheerfulIy you
carry it the lighter it grows Let the making
of your home be your first work, the care OF
your house the second, and your husband and
little ones will be the happier. When you ind

ingenuity in discovering how many things
can be left undone. If | were a man l would

Memory Canes.

One of the latest fads affected by Albany
Young ladies is a craze for memory" canes
The young lady's attendant, whilom or con-
slant, as the case may be, Is expected to fur
nish the necessary ducats for the purchase Of
some pretty but rather light and ornamental
gentleman's walking stick, something TO suit
the within of the fair one, and the process
thereafter has much in common TO the one
simulated by femininity TO secure bangles for
a bangle bracelet, after the latter is already
her own. Each of her male acouaintances
or as many as She cares TO ask, are requested
20 lay out tlfing sum for the purchase Of
half yard OF narrow ribbon-about half an
inch in width-of his favor1te shade. and
these are tied in fanciful bows and pretty
color combinations on different sections of
the cane, and the whole hung on the parlor
wall, producing in many instances very
pretty effect. The object of the belle is 10 Sc
cure no two ribbons OF like shade, and train
her memory by associations laws to rattle of
the name OF the ribbon donor by quick
glance at the color of the particular streamer
a friend may inquire about. Hence the

European Study of Food.

Very few people on this side of the Allan
tic have any idea of how much is being done
in Europe in the study of the food and nutri-
ton of man. In the laboratories Of the great
universities, especially in Germany, expert
mental researches are being carried on which
are really remarkable. Some OF tie most in
genious and costly apparatus, and the most
painstaking Investigation which modern sci
ence employs are devoted to finding out how
the body is nourished, and how food works.
Experiments are made with animals of many
kinds, and with human beings also. The ex-
perirlenters put man inside the respiration
apparatus, and weigh md measure and an
