Prior to the holding of the great billiard

Hints to Housekeepers.

X gargle of salt and water used be- fore retiring at night will strengthen the throat and keep off bronchial at tacks.
 Biscuits can be aimcd to be as good AS when just baked by placing them Tn the oven dry, covered closely with a tin. IL Is great improvement over the old way of wetting them.
 If one wishes to cool hot dish in a hurry, it will be found that if the dish be placed in vessel full of cold, salty water 1t will cool far more rapidly than if it stood in water free from salt.
 Delicately eolored goods of any kind should never be washed without salt water bath first, but care should be exercised in reference to materials which are likely to shrink when inn mersed in water.
 Silk must never be ironed, as the heat takes all the life out of it and makes it seem stringy and habby. If, however, you wish to press out old bits of silk and ribbon for fancy work use an iron only moderately hot, and place two thicknesses of paper between that and the silk.

Grants Beginning.

In connection with the "reminiscences of Gen. Chetlain of the difficulties overcome by Gen. Grant in his entrance upon his military career, the fact is re- called by Illinois parties familiar with the circumstances at the time that con- fidence in his ability was developed so slowly that even prejudice might be in ferred. His early successes were quite generally attributed to luck rather than generalship; and, even after Shiloh, he was put on ''the ragged edge" as it were. He came to the command of the Twenty-frst Illinois Regiment when it was greatly dcmoral- ized by the utter failure of its com mander, Col. Goode, as q military man. The latter is remembered as a lawyer, rather older than Grant. of more impressive presence, good address and seemingly one far more likely to achieve renown in military or any other department of effort than the un- attractive and rather seedy-looking man from Galena.
 If circumstances alone are the fac tors in eminence, Goode should have passed into the hands of the historians as one of the worlds greatest captains, rather than Grant. While the latter went steadily forward up the ladder, the man whose retirement gave him first place, drifted to quiet Illinois town and opened up small but tony saloon. As he stood behind the bar dispensing the drinks il was often re- marked by customers that but for '.fool luck he might have been the man winning victories and moving up to the highest station. But they were mistaken. Water seeks its level. Cir eumstances are but the channels. Grant might not have achieved even the small success of Col. Goode as a mixer of drinks, but he had the quali- ties that made great general.

Are Beautiful Women Happiest l!

In my life l have known many women well. Among them is fair majority of what the truly appreciative would call happy, for which fact l thank God, as 1t has helped me to take, on the whole, a hopeful view of life, as well as human nature. Now. are those women, blessed as many of them are with devoted husbands, cheerful homes, cultivated society, and leisure for the exercise of any special talent they may possess, beautiful women? l? With ono or two exceptions, No In- deed, more than few of them are positively plain, if feature is only con sidered, while from the rest l can single out but two or three whose faces and figures conform to any of the recognized standards of physical perfection. But they are loved, they are honored. they are deferred to. While not eliciting the admiration of every passer-by, they have acquired through the force, the sweetness. or originality of their character, the ap- preciation of those whose appreciation confers honor and happiness, and, consequently their days pass in an atmosphere of peace and goodwill which is as far above the delirious ad- miration accorded to the simply bcauii- ful, as the placid shining of the sun beam is to the phenomenal blaze of an cvanescent ilame--Annie Katharine Green.

THE DUsKY DUCK.

Within the blind, before 'tis light,
 I take my place to watch. and wall The coming of the morning flight
 Of dusky ducks to meet their fate. The mist against the eastern sky
 Is rising now; as breaks the day The gloom is fading into light,
 The horizon k stroaked with gray. think that up the stream see
 A welcome sight, as in the air A speck appears; yes, one, two, three,
 Nine large black ducks toward me bear, My trusty 'scott' with trembling hands closer grip. and try to calm My beating heart, while on the sands
 lower crouch so that the charm May not be broken; now the flock
 Is surely eorhing to the blind; My heart stops beating; here they come On whirring pinions like the wind Just as they turn my right speaks out,
 And bang! spatl spat! now two ducks fall Then with the left through smoke and doubt speak, two answer to the call. Two shots, four ducks, with rapture held, There's nothing more l can desire. My wife at once the dream dspeled

"I should like to know,' said bright woman the other day, ''what right, when man dies, as did that man who was shot on the street the other day, the law has to go into his pockets and hand n private letter to a reporter that it may be published in every newspaper. As a people we are continually talking about our freedom, and yet there is no country in the world where the individual has so few rights. am not an ardent believer in murder, but if the man talked about women he deserved to be shot. That, however gives nobody any right to take his private letters and publish them. The newspapers are continually moan ing that we are not a nation of homes, that we are not home makers, that we live too much before the public. How can 1t be helped when such things as this are allowed to be done? Suppose tomorrow you drop dead, and in your pocket Is letter that is perfectly inno- nocent but which. when read by stran- gers, might have different construc- ton put upon it. You are not here to explain 1t, and the woman who is nearest and dearest to you suffers be- cause she thinks of what that must mean. It is the most abominable GUS tom imaginable, and if there are no homes. if there are no home makers, 1t is because the public is getting the knowledge of affairs that does not con ccrn 1t. One lesson to be learned from that letter is to keep nothing which is written that may prove compromising. The man of the world never does."

Shoes that are worn regularly, if cared for, will last much longer than if neglected. A French kid shoe, if kicked around the closet floor or under the bead, will not last as long or look as we'll as one inferior in quality if properly cared for. When shoes are taken off they should be wiped with soft cloth, and, after airing little while, oiled or polished and put in a box by themselves or shoe bag, and when wanted for use can be taken out ready for wear. It is not advisable to use much of the dressing 90 fashion able for ladies' and children's shoes, as most of them crack the leather and ruin it.

Grant Allen has been at outs with the women because he maintained that tho idea of their independence and self-support was fallacions. He now replies to numerous attacks by giving his reasons for saying that the women in the great majority of cases must be supported by men. He says that if every woman became the mother of four children, population would re- main stationary, and in Great Britain, where all do not marry, an average of six children is necessary 10 keep the population stationary. On the average nearly half the children die before ma turity, and it takes four ,o supply the place of their parents. He talks out in meeting as follows
 It is best for the community at large that most women should marry, and should have moderate families, rather than that fewer should marry and have unwicldly large ones, for if families arc moderate, there will be greater reserve of health and strength left in the mothers for each birth, the produc- ton of children can be spread more slowly over longer time, and the family resources will be less heavily taxed for their maintenance and edu- cation. Incidentally this will beneti, both parents as well as the community That is 10 say, where many marriages and small families arc the rule the children will on the average be born healthier, be better fed, and be launch ed more fairly on the world in the end. Where marriages are fewer and families large, the strain of maternity will be most constant and most heavily felt: the father will be harder worked, and the children be born feebler, will be worse fed. and will start worse equipped in the battle of life.
 Almost every woman must bear four or five children. In doing so she must on the average use up the ten or twelve best years of her life-the ten or twelve years that immediately suo- ceed her attainment of complete womanhood. For note, by the way, that these women must also for the most part marry young, as Mir. Gallon has shown, you can quietly and cfiectu- ally wipe out race by merely making its women all marry at twenty-eight ; married beyond that age. they don't produce children enough to replenish the population. Again, during these ten or twelve years of child-bearing al the very least, the women can't con venIently earn their own livelihood they must be provided for by the laboI of ths men.

The decoration for chairs to take the place of the scarf and old-fashioned tidy is a small, flat cushion or head rest, attached by straps of ribbon to another still smaller. which balances tho first, as one cushion hangs in front and the other behind the back of the chair. These head rests and shoulder rolls arc made of silk, plush, and many art fabrics, and the hand painting and embroidery on some of them are ex- quisite. Some are tasselled, some fringed, and others trimmed with lace, and others again are untrimmed and undecorated, save with the figures or flower forms on the silken or art fab rics of which they are made.

The Welcome Lodging-House in New York, for young women, the cor ner- stone of which Mrs. Elliott Shep- ard laid few days ago. is most needed charity The home will be open 10 all women who arc not intoxi- cated and can pay 15 cents for a nights lodging. Children under five years of age will be admitted free of charge and breakfast and supper furnished for five cents. dinner for a dime. No effort will be made to convert to re- ligion the patrons, but decided effort to improve their condition through the medium of soap and water, attrac- tive surroundings, books, music, and kindness will be made. The main idea will be to help women to help them selves, and to that end situations will be found for them by business bureau in charge of an officer of the Home, and through the cooperation of the trustees and patrons tic tide of labor will be turned from the factory to the kitchen, where an experiment. will be made in so systematizing the work as to provide more leisure and less drudg- cry for the cook, dishwasher and house. wife.
