The Girl Who Cuisines.

Every one knows or has seen the gushing
girl" She is not rare specimen, and Car
be found most anywhere upon the face Of the
glode, and though she is generally nonen-
tity in regard to brains and good common
sense, she Is still, to a certain extent, able to
do good deal of harm to her more sensible
sisters. As a general thing shels dishked by
her own sex, who have no patience with
her wild flights of fancy, while man will
listen and be half amused, but forming the
while a wrong idea of the rest Of woman

expressions are excused because there is hope
that it Will be ontgrown, but where it is car
lried from the school room into womanhood
there is no hope.
! A 'Ngusher" can hardly be a good, true
woman, for she lacks sincerity, going into
ecstasies over trihes as quickly as she doe.

"A Collection of Good Things Concerning
Women and Their Work That Are Worth
Reading and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to Housekeepers and Mothers.
Miss Elizabeth D. Hanscora, In an interest
ing article, quotes Mr.. Stead tyxho writes of
life at Yasnaia Poiana, the country estate Of
the Russian novelist and theorist, Lyof Toll
stoi), as saying: 1.-The dreams of the idealist
are seldom capable of translation into the
prose Of actual life, especially when the
adeahst happens to be married and the father
OF large family"
Mr.. Stead further afffrms that if Count
Tolstoi had been at liberty to fully carry out
his ideas there would now be no Count Toll
stoi All the world knows that he believes in
literally obeying the injunction to sell all and
give to the poor, that he believes manual
labor to be a necessary condition of ideal life,
and that TO possess more than the bare essen
tials of life seemed to him sin. Yet he and
his family live in luxury on his ancestral es-
tate. What all the world does not know is
that the Countess Tolstoi is the reconciling
factor in this apparent conflict OF theory and
practice.
/ Nearly thirty years ago, before he devel-
oped his philosophy of life, Count Tolstoi
married thedaughter Of Moscow physician
During all these years she has shown herself
to be woman of UNUSUAL powers. She di-
reefs, controls, manages everything at the
household at Moscow and at Yasnaia Poliana.
She assumes the whole responsibility Of
caring for the family, which numbers thir-
teen children, superfntends their education
and teaches them English and music. Her
business ability is also shown by the fact
that she has sole charge of the sale, circula-
ton and distribution Of her husbands books.
Nor is she wanting in sympathy for the
counts intellectual labors. She is both anan-
uersis, reyiser and translator Tolstois
writing is ilegible to most readers, and his
wife rewrites his manuscripts again and again
until they suit his fastidious taste. In this
way she copied War and Peace" from end
TO end, six times, and his last work, Life"
she rewrote sixteen times, besides translating
1t into French. When, however, it comes to
a question Of adopting his views entirely,
she refuses.
One of the country seats bias already been
sold, the family has retired from society, the
mode of life has been much simplifed; but
the Countess of To.stoi VIII not consent to
giving up everything, or to living Ike
peasant For the sake Of her children she in
sists on comfortable life. By the law of
the land, without the consent of his wife, the
count cannot resign ali sne resources on which
the family is maintained. Accordingly, he
has retired from active participation in the
household arrangements; he is his wife,s

Brace Tn.

Somebody, in telling women how to shake
OF the appearance Of years, says: Resist the
first inclination to stoop. Brace up whenever
the shoulders settle in the least. To place
ones self sidewise before mirror and allow
the back 10 curve forward, then gradually
to straighten it, will convince any one that,
with every inch that is raised, ten years seem
to be taken from the apparent age" Nothing
SO much assists one in making a favorable
impression as good carriage. 1t is much
more effective than pretty face, and is
never associated with age in any ones mind.

Worth Remembering,

1t is reported of the celebrated English
physician, DR.. Field, that at time when
diphtheria wasraging, few years ago, he
used nothing but common -four of sulphur, a
teaspoonful mixed with the finger in a wine
glassful Of water and given as gargle, and
in ten minutes the patient was out of danger
He never lost a case Of this disease. Sulphur
destroys the fungus in man and beast. In
extreme cases, where a gargie could not be
used, dry sulphur was blown down the throat
through a quill, and sulphur burned in a
shovel so that the patient could inhale it,
