A Warning to Girls.

81 read" said bright young mar
ried woman, THAT there is now way
of removing hairs from woman's lip
by the use of electricity. That is not
new. and / want to sound a note of
warning to any woman who may be
tempted to use it. | have a very dear
friend who was a classmate of mine in
college. She was real pretty girl.
but she was greatly annoyed at the
fact that a few hairs were growing on
her chin and upper lip. They really
did not look bad. more like the down
on beautiful peach than any thing
else. but they were eyesores to her.
She tried every thing to get rid of them.
and finally was persuaded to try
electricity. An experienced physician
performed the operation, and left her
face as smooth as billiard ball.
six weeks later the hairs returned,
greatly increased in size and several
shades darker. This time they really
did look bad, and the poor girl was
almost wild. She has never been able
to do any thing with them since, and,
unless she clips them every day-a
very tiresome operation, her face looks
as though she was really growing a
beard. The best way for a woman is
to leave her face alone. She only
spoils it by tampering. "-Hairdresser

Educated Women.

Any education that units women TO
be mothers. or men to be fathers, must
be condemned. of course. The mis-.
take lies in assuming that the higher
education does unfit women to be moth.
ers. A year or two since. the Associa-
ton of Collegiate Alumna collected
statistics from about 800 women col
lege graduates, as to their health be.
fore. during and after college, the
health of their children, the number
who had died, etc. Two points came
out clearly from this statistics; tina
the health of the girls generally i'm.
proved at college, when they did not
over-study; and that the death-rate
among the children of college women
is remarkably low. An educated wO-
man knows better than an ignorant on'
how to care for her own health and
that of her child. Again, the quality
of the children has to be considered as
well as the quantity. The child of an
educated mother is likely to be more
intelligent than the child of an igno.
rant mother. 1t is more likely to live,
and is also better worth raising."-

The Delicious Mangosteen.

Travellers in Java have filled pages
and columns with rhapsodies over the
mangosteen. and all unite in extolling
it as the supreme delight of the
tropics. The mangosteen appears to
one as hard, round fruit the size of
a peach. Its hard outer shell or rind
is of the same color and thickness as
green walnut, but in this brown husk
lie six or eight segments of creamy
white pulp. The little segments are
easily separated, and, transferred to
the mouth, melt away, the pulp being
as soft and fine as a custard. The
mangosteen's delicate pulp tastes. as
all its eulogists say, like straw berries.
peaches, bananas. and oranges all at
once; a slight tartness is vailed in these
delicious flavors, and it is never clOy-
ingly sweet. Taken just as it comes
from the ice-box the mangosteen is an
epicure's dream realized. and the
more's the pity that it only grows in
PARKWAY places and deadly climates,
and does not bear transportation. The
hard rind looks unchanged for weeks,
but the delicate pulp melts away. and
the driest and coolest refrigerator
chambers can not keep the heart of the
mangosteen from quickly spelling

WAR HANDKERCHIEFS.

Something About Those Issued by the
French War ONCE.
The ancient custom of illustrated
pocket handkerchiefs for the amuse-
ment and instruction of children has
been seriously emulated by the French
War Office for the benefit of the ma
tional army. The cotton handker-
chiefs provided for the French soldiers
are now decorated with special texts
and cuts for the technical and sanitary
instruction of the wearers. The
center is occupied with the Cross of
the Legion of Honor upon red back
ground. and the inscription UNDER
meath it. Honneur ct Patrie. Around
this central point are grouped a circle
of medalliOns, containing representa-
tions of officers of all grades, from the
modest sub-lieutenant to the proud
commandant of a corps ddrmee. The
