ChiValriC NIaXiuus,

The sacred books of India contain the fol-
lowing maxims:
HE who despises women despises his
mother"
"Who is cursed by woman is cursed by
God"
1.-THE tears of a woman call down to fire of
heaven on those who make tlem low.n
Evil to him who laughs at woman's suffer
inGs; God shall laugh at his prayers"
at was at the prayer Of woman that the
Creator partioned man. Cursed DO he who
forgets it."
"Who shall forget the sufferings of his
mother at his birth shall be reborn in the
body of an owl during three successive trans
migrations."
There is no crime more odious than to per-
secute a woman"
when women are honored tho divinftieS
are content; but when they are not honored
all undertakings fail"
THE households cursed by women to whom
they have not rendered the homage due them
find themselves weighed down with ruin and
destroyed as if they had been struck by some
secret power"
at is time to appreciate all things at their
true value"

Lady Teachers Of Painting.

In recent years the question Of what sort of
work is woman best fitted to perform has
been an interesting theme for general dis
cussion. And yet l have never seen in public
print fact that is potent to all artists who
have had opportunities for personal observa-
ton in that line, and that is that woman
with talent and ability as an artist excels as
a teacher of art. Especially is this true in
the lighter work, such as crayon portraits,
etc. Where strength iSneeded it is probable
that man will lead, but where delicacy is
called into requisition the gentler sex have
the call. There are very few lady teachers
of portrait painting, and the demand for
their services is great Many St. Louis artists
can vouch for the statement tn; dozens of
pupils seeking lady teacher are turned away
disappointed every week in the year. Here
is broad and profitable field for ambitious
women.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Cooking Vegetables.

The cooking of vegetables is too little
studied by American housekeepers in general
With the exception of localities high upon
the mountain divide of the continent, where
the altitude affects the boiling of water, too
long time is usually allotted to the boiling of
the common varieties of roots and garden
produce The recollection of one simple fact
would go far to obviate this fault of treat
ment the fact that all vegetable substances
are properly prepared for food as soon as
they are tender enough TO be eaten. Were
this remembered we would have no more
of watery potatoes or i'll odored cabbage; and
all the strong scented alliaceous family could
be made ready for the table without impreg-
mating the house with their characteristic
flavor. Turnips, onions and cabbage are the
most popular of winter vegetables, and we
desire to call attention to the usefulness of
carrots as a dinner dish. Most housewives
know them only as one of the usual soup
vegetables. Let them test our recipes for
stewing and frying them, and then thank us
for enlarging the dinner list.
AS most winter or hardy vegetables are
kept long in cellars or storerooms; they are
greatly improved by being laid in cold water
for an hour or longer after they are washed
and prepared for boiling. All varieties con.
ain more or less water, which they lose by
evaporation, thus decreasing in weight and
size unless this natural proportion of moist
ure is restored by immersion in cold water
before cooking, the cooked vegetable will be
smaller and dryer than when in normal con-
dition. there will be a perceptive loss in sub
stance and nutriment. Whether the natural
moisture of food substances is nutritious or
not, the moisture certainly is vehicle for
nutriment, and the fact is conclusively
proven that dish containing fair average
of water is both more digestibe and more
satisfactory to hunger than one dry or con-
ceutrated. Boston Budget.

Handling Fire.

a governeSs residing at Lee, England, died
from burns resulting from an explosion
caused by blowing down the chimney of an
oil lamp for the purpose of extinguishing the
light. The occurrence is such common one
that it would not be worth noticing except
for the purpose Of impressing upon persons
who use the ordinary petroleum lamps the
extreme danger Of this habit. 1t is so quick
and apparently an easy a way to extinguish
light that nine persons out Of ten resort to
it, although it is fraught with danger When
the reservoir is full there is comparatively lit
tie risk of an explosion; but when the oil is
nearly exhausted the reservoir becomes filed
with gas, and as the flame is blown down
ward an explosion at once results The
caTelessneSS with which petroleum is used
is absolutely astounding.
People who would be filled with alarm did
they know that canister of gunpowder was
in thereon, will place petroleum lamp upon
a table that the slightest touch will overturn,
or in position where it can be upset by
children, although the consequences of a fall
are nearly as disastrous as those of the explo-
sion of gunpowder. Careless housewives will
even go the length of pouring petroleum upon
an expiring fire, regardless of the fact that
that they are endangering their own lives
and risking the confagration of the house.
1t is difficult to see how such reckless conduct
as this can be made penal; but something
might be done at least were the teachers in
board schools to instruct children as to the
dangerous properties of petroleum and the
risks incurred by the reckless handling of it,
or by the habit of extinguishing the light by
blowing down the chimney of a lamp.-Lon-

a Brave Woman.

Rare presence of mind and courage under
trying circumstances are frequently displayed
by women. An Akron, O., correspondent of
The Cincinnati Enquirer relates an incident
which well illustrates this Miss Lucy
Beighle, pretty dressmaker, with her sister
and Mrs. S. Hard, were returning from fu-
neral, riding in a close carriage. The driver
dismounted, whereupon the horses made a
dash and ran away at a furious rate of speed
Two men jumped into buggy and tried to
overtake the team as it dashed on through
the streets. The cries of the women in the
carriage brought out crowds of people, and
all expected to see the ladies dashed to death
in collisions that appeared to be unavoidable
When the hCrses were in the maddest of their
fight Miss Beighle opened the carriage door,
and, stepping ON a splasher over the front
wheel of the carriage, swung herself onto
the drivers seat, where she secured the lines
and guided the horses safely along the street
until they were tired out and overtaken by
the men in pursuit

the very point which the mother had been
vigorously applying her hand to a hToilen
needle in the foot or hand is generally an
ugly affair, as every one who has experienced
the misfortune can testify. Such cases sur

rule take considerable time. Considering.
therefore, how many accidents haYe oc-
Cured from them and how easy it is for them
to occur, it is to be hoped that women will
in time learn that pins and needles, while
most useful and seemingly innocent, are yet
capable of doing great deal of harm These
cases prescribed ought to help them to ap-
nreciate that fact.-Boston Herald

Pride in the Family.

In the olden times the negroes of the south
eCn plantation and OF the household were as
proud of the social position of their masters
as any of the children, and as anxious for the
good name of any member of the family.
The Southern Bivouac once told of an old
Florida nanny who showed her pride in a
quaint and characteristic style.
Her young masters, both lads, were con-
scripted' and ordered to Pensacola. They
were taking fearful leave Of friends, when
the old nanny" exclaimed:
snow, young masters, stop dis hyer cry
in; 60 and fight for your country like men,
and mind, don't disgrace the family, nor me

The Cranberry.

The American cranberry differs from those
found in foreign countries by being larger
and more upright plant, and the leaves are
larger and not rolled back so far. The ber-
rics are Of a more brilliant color and larger
Where the soil is sandy they are found grow
ing in boys and are more often found in ele-
waited situations. A rake is used in collect
ing them. Sometimes they are cultivated in
gardens, but they require a very moist place
and grow better on the margin of pond.
The red whortleberries are sold under the
name of cranberries in Aberdeen and other
places, and are used for,the same purpose
A species of the cranberry is Il native of
Virginia and Carolina, and is a shrub two
feet high and grows more like tho whortle-
berry than the cranberry. The fruits noted
for its delicious favor and is remarkable for
its transparency. 1t has not received the

Color In Furnishing,

In furnishing, the matter of coloring is q
point that should be carefully studied. A
confusion of colors will spoil any room, and
this holds good even to the smallest appoint
ment and decoration. A chair covering or
even a cushion can prove almost as complete
a Disagreement as a carpet which does not
accord with the paper, curtains or wood
work
Colors possess character, and that of the
most divers sorts Some hues suggest warmth
and cheer, while others breathe of GOODNESS
and repose. Blue, gray, drab and fawn are
the proper colors for sunny chambers, while
red, pink and buff belong to north rooms or
any into which the light comes in a stinted
way. Even gloomy places can be made
cheerful by employing right eolors, especially
when there can be added an open fire with a
bright brass fender
There is one rule in furnishing which people
Of moderate means ought always to obey, yet
they are usually the least inclined to carry it

Minor Casualties.

Wabash, a village in Cass county, was
nearly destroyed by fire at Nebraska. A
large merchandi Sc store. the News printing
office and the town hall were among the
buildings DIES troyed. It is thought the fire
was started by tw O burglars who were sur
prised in'the act OF cracking a safe while the
ire was in progress, but made their escape.
Loss SIC, 900; partially insured.
Henry Steele, a hostler in the employ of
the Metropolitan Gable company at Kansas
City, who had q painful experience in the fire
which destroyed the stables Of the company,
gave it as his op inion that three men had
persisted in the fire. They went in ahead of
him for the purpose OF saving some of the
mules, and he is positive that none of them
got out. He himself was rescued in a faint
ing condition. The debris now being rem ov-
ed is twenty feet deep, and it will be some
time before it can be positively ascertained
whether or not there were any lives lost.
The most disastrous fire in loss of prop
erty that has occurred in Louisville in seven
years broke out in the basement of the
klelnhans & Simmons clothing house. In
fifteen m inutes after the alarm the blaze had
spread through Keinhans & Simonson's
three large stores and was leaping from the
fourth floor through the roof Soon after
the roof fell and little later two large sec
tions of the side walls With one of these
the rear of 81. Strauss's dry goods house
went down and the fire seemed beyond con-
troll. The aggregate losses including
smaller sufferers, is $435 400. Total insur-
ance, $255,277.
