NutIneYs as a Medicine.

The medicinal qualities of nutmegs are
worthy of great deal of attention. They
are fragrant liz odor, warm and grateful to
the taste, and possess decided sedative, as
tringent and soporific properties. In the fol-
lowing affections they viii be found highly
serviceab(e: Gastralgia neuralgia Of the
stomach, cholera morbus, fiatulent colo,
dysentery, cholera infantun and mfantile
collie.
In all cases nutmegs may be prepared for
administration in the following manner:
Crate one or more nutmegs into a very fine
powder. For children. give one-sixth to
one-third of teaspoonful, according to the
age, of this powder, mixed with small
quantity Of milk. For adults. from bali
to two teaspoonfuls may be given in the
same way, according to the ss-erity Of the
case. Every two hours IS generally the best
time to administer this remedy.

Rest the Brain,

Dr. Sara r. Chase advcSates rest Just as
much as she advocates sleep, and thinks so
much of sleep and rest that she believes that
they can take the Zee of all stimulauIs
These are her views about rest:
Rest Is change IRON one employment to
another; from one condition of mind ald
hoay to another. The laborng man can find
rest after his days work is done in reading or
writing or studying. The literary man finds
his rest chiefly in outdoor exercise, or in any
scene that will remoTe the thoughts Of his
literary work from his mind. Some people
find rest where others would not I can
always lind rest at The theatre, and when my
mind becomes tired | always go there and
come away greatly refreshed. Rest is what
the people OF this country want SO much
They give SO little thought to it. They study
how TO do everything except how to rest, and
this want of rest is the cause of so much
nervousness and, I think, of so much dvs-
persia
Some women would require more rest than
some men, but a grsat many women sesm to
get along with great deal hess OF rest than
others do. The best rast for d lazy man, |
should think, would he TO work: but in this
country We don't have time to urge that
much, because there are very few lazy per
sons here, and SO we lave to urge them 70

whom i have to prescribe rest This rest
consists of all kinds Of employment Anum
Der of women tell me that they have really
nothing TO do, nothing to occupy their minds.
Most Of this kind are found in the boarding
houses OF this city. l advise many of them
TO study painting, but shey tell me that they

other subject and study it, in order to keep

Tipping" the footwear with honest leather!
Does the tailor who makes the pants with his
boosted benevolence of ''double knees ever
put them on the right place or large enoughi
Does the carpenter ever put the nails and
hooks where medium sized woman, let alone
a child, can reach thenl
Is there ever but the fewest possible shelves
that woman can reach without standing on
chair at the risk of breaking her backa
1t is very little thing to have no water
back 10 a stove-so a man thinks; but to q
wife-of-al- it is-weii, there is no word
strong enough to express the trouble it causes.
A sink on a level, with cold water. is not an
easy thing to keep clean Why not make a
little decline? Also bring the zinc over the
edges somewhat. The continual settling of
grease IN the fine cracks or interstices is very
trying to delicate stomached woman.

The Girls Who Work.

Oh, girlsl ] know there are difficulties
There will be times when the little hall bed
room, three stories back, will be as cold as
Greenland, or stuffy and mosquito haunted
When the handkerciefs you endeavored to
rinse out in the washbcwl in order to reduce
your laundress bill will be Of a streaky vel
low, smelling like compound Of smoke and
cheap soap.
You will have to learn to pass confec-
toners shop as though the plague lurSed
there, and to shun the festive soda fountain,
If you want to send the dear folks at home a
Christmas box 1t will be hard to wear old
fashioned and dingy clothes in the face of the
Respondent gbories of the dry goods windows
you daily pass. Some days you win long for
mothers wholesome cooking when your head
aches and your throat is sore, and boarding
house corned beef and cabbage seems more
than ordinarily detestabe
You will want 10 stop oh, yes, lots of
times But if you do you know your board
bill will be overdue, and you will have to
sneak around with that fearful and wonder
full amiabiity which is the stamp and seal OF
the delinquent boartler. And some day, just
when you have the price of a new hat laid
by, ana promise yourself the early delight of
u
home will suddenly swoop down on you, with
pleasant assurance that she has come for a
city visit. You are glad to see some one
from home, but cannot help wondering why
somebody you really cared for could not have
come in her stead, and watch her eat up your
new hat with a feeling scarcely hospitable.
These are few of the minor trials that the
outer world never guesses There will come
other and heavier ones, but none, think,
that cannot be conquered by the brave heart.
There is a stimulus for ambition in the
knowledge that by "breasting the blows of
circumstance" there will surely come a time
to ''grasp the skirts Of happy chance"
And if, after a worthy struggle for indie
pendence, the happier fate of gladdening
some true mans heart and home overtakes
her, Deed her former work seem fruitlessf
Nay, not so. For how can a woman better
understand her husbands business endeavors
than by personal knowledge Of business
affairs heIselff And how can she better
serve her children than by getting acquainted
with that world through which she must
guide and shield thens
Then godspeed her in an; work she may
do honorably, earnestly and with true dig

The Tbibctan Woman.

A point to be noticed here is the freedom
with which women OF all grades go about
from place to place; in the shops, in the
streets, in the vaulted entries which give ac-
cess to every dwelling house. The Thibetan
female is an Independent and buxom dame,
very unlike her Hindu sister across the Dor
der Her frame is well knit and sturdy; she
can carry any weight you like on her back
Moreover, there is a jolhty about her smile
and general department which would be very
engaging il she made herself little better
acquainted with the washbowl Though she
rarely uses water for ablutionary purposes,
the black stains which cover the ThiDetan
woman's face are not due to dirt It is a
custom, said to be founded on a strict law
enacted 200 years ago, for all the adult fe-
males to stain their faces with blotches Of a
black dye styled tui-ja This disfgure-
ment, which originally was ordered for the
purpose of subduing the natural attractive
ness Of the female face to the other sex, forms
almost a complete disguise to the co;uite-
nance.
In reality, a Thibetan girls face is most
comely aIsi pretty. Before the blackening
process, her cheeks are as picturesquely rud-
dy as any Scotch lassie's; and, as the pigment
wears off, the ripe wall fruit glow, which
the keen mountain air insists on producing, is
continually to be seen overcoming the sooty
patches. Higher class Thibetan women fire.
quently traverse the streets of L'hassa on
small, white horses, seated astride the ami
mails back. They generally have intellectual
faces, and are often, in truth highly edu-
Gated and learned.
Every better class female in the streets Of
Lhassa wears a head dress called pa-tuk,
not unlike an old fashioned English travelling
cap, with long, turned down ear flaps This
is often studded with turquois and pieces Of
coral; sometimes, in the case Of the wife of
state councillor Gsalon), with emeralds, rubies
and pearls. Its Use is very ancient. Another
characteristic part of the women's dress is
the bib or breast cover, styled pangden-

Our BIGGER BRoTIIER.-The Baltimore
Sunday Herald gives pen picture of the
country editor, his duties, functions and
privileges, that is wonderfully true to nature.
1t so accurately reflects the general physlog-
nomy, SO to speak, of the country journalist
that one might almost believe that the writ
er was drawing bis upon memory.
While the rustic brethren rcyolvc within
their circumscribcd orbits and by the aid Of
the almanac foretell each full moon by about
one week, the big brother in the city gives
evidence that the equation of his existence
is that of an c!lipse rather than u parabola !;
that he too returns upon himself, probably
not weekly, nor even monthly, but annually,
occasionally scmi-somctimes
When the political canvass opens We find
our big brother wrought up to degree of
enthusiasm that evolves some such scintilla-
ting originality as the following: "Au hon.
est vote and fair count is now the great
popular demand"
