Girls in London Shops.

In some firms the girls, when not serv-
ing, are permitted to adjourn to a comfort
able sitting and reading room, or are al
lowed to sit behind the counters, and, with
respect to food, dainties are often provided
in the form of fish, fowl or pastry, which
the less favored fellows" fail to obtain
The average time for meals are half an
hour, and twenty minutes for dinner and
tea respectively, except throughout the
hottest weather, when the tea time is ex-
tended to thirty minutes, in consideration
of the longer hours consequent on light
evenings. Supper is usually provided i'm
mediately after closing time, and then a
much coveted span of freedom is enjoyed
till II o'clock sharp, or II o'clock one night
a week, for the convenience of playgoers.
AS any fellow" who contemplates start
ing business for himself usually chooses
a wife from among the girls" of the house,
it will be seen that a real trade Unionism"
exists among the community, in peculiar
sense, and the 50 called rag trade" is thus
porpetuated by duly qualified assistants

About Boiling Food.

There is in boiling aad frying foods a
very simple problem in physics, which
most people ignore, viz, that of latent
heat. When a piece of meat, vegetable,
or other article Of food. which Is at the or
binary temperature, 60 dogs. to 20 dogs. F,
is placed in boiling water or fat, the tenn
perature of the solution is lowered proper
tionately to the mass and temperature Of
the article introduced; and it is not until
the mass has absorbed more heat from the
fire that the solution again comes to the
boil
If care is taken, either by introducing
the food in small quantities at time into
the boiling solution, so that very little
lowering of the temperature takes place,
or by preliminary heating OF the food be
fore adding it to the solution. and in every
case allowing the solution to boil before
introducing any fresh material, the sod
denncss Of Improperly boiled or fried foods
viii be avoided.-Scienoe-

Miss or Mrs?

All women out of their teens are entitled
to be styled Mistress" Miss" is merely
a diminutive, and is properly confined to
young girls, just as Master" is commonly
confined to school boys. In the days of
Pope, Mrs" was the common appellatiOn
of unmarried ladies. Sir Walter Scott,
too, speaks of Joanna (unmarried) as Mrs.
Joanna BBillie. There are nowadays
plenty Of spinsters-and young spinsters,
too-who insist on being addressed as
Mrs" and at one or two places in Sus-
sex, cUriously enough, the married lady is
Miss" and the unmarried lady receives
the title OF Mrs" Thu same custom is
found in many parts OF Ireland. The form
Mrs" was at one time applied indiffer-
emily to persons at all ages.
Among servants generally, the cook,
whether married or single, expects to be
called Mrs" So d. housekeepers, though
unmarried. In point of fact, Mrs. or Mis-
tress is a title of respect that the plain
Miss" is devoid of. Why actresses who
are married women should seek to disguise
that fact by allowing the misleading pre-
fix of Miss" to be attached to their names
is a mystery that admits of no Ineligible
eXplanation.-The Lady.

THE PRETTY GIRL, HANDSOME Wo-
MAN AND BEAUTIFUL MATRON.

Beautiful Women IN England-About
Boiling Foods-aIIss and Mrs.
The notion still held by certain shallow
women that maturity is ugliness is one of
the most incomprehensible pieces of non
sense OF the time. Here is fair muddler in
one Of our contemporaries complimenting
Nine. Albani on having overcome her ma
tronhness and on the renewed girlishness
Of her appearance. From this l should
judge that wemen who live on public ex-
hibition fear nothing so much as develop
ment If they can only stay all their lives
in a lisping and glutinous sweetness and
not grow, they are satisfied. To get on in
appearance, or in character, or IN strength
Is a calamity. In this extraordinary view
of things green coddling is better than q
ripe pippin. Women who exhibit them
selves have only one standard of merit
and that is youth.
Poor creatures, they do not know that the
pretty girl ought to become the handsome
woman, and never reaches her full splen-
dor until she is a mRtron. They cannot
comprehend the fact that fixed beauty has
no existence except in death, and even then
only when the embalmer has put in his
work. The law Of beauty in life is the law
Of development and attainment, and the
beauty Of a matron and the beauty of
miss differ from each other as one star diff
fers from another in glory-and, curiously
enough, the older the star the more beauti-
full it becomes.
Women who think Of nothing but how
they shall stay young are women Of char
acterless minds. All things considered
the greatest woman is she who can grow
old gloriously, and defy time with some
thing better than enamel. But your wo-
man who is professionally on exhibition
has got to bring to the market what the
public most desires. And it is patent fact
that the mob would rather look at the pas
tryness of youth than at the perfection Of
personality. 1t is this popular instinct that
makes exhibiting women starve them
selves, enamel themselves, prison them
selves, restrict their functions, suppress
their minds and cruelty their bodies.-New
York Truth.

But she is attractive. Her voice and eyes
hold you, and her magnetic sympathy
completes the spell. But it is not these
fascinating qualities which constitute Mrs.
Thurber's real power 1t is her honesty

plicity which is impressive. You go to see

devoutly that the world contained more
women just as natural, and that such

A Modern Instance.

know one girl in this city who went for
weeks without warm dinner to buy her
self the smart ulster in which she looked
so trim and neat, although her underwear
was of thin calico and her stockings were
of thin cotton She should not have done
so, you will say. Well, until the nature OF
woman is completely changed, until the
clements of girlhood which cry out for adj
miration and love and happiness are alto
gether altered, there is not a girl in the
natural order of things who won't deprive
herself of something to eat, who won't do
without chewing gum, who won't walk
miles to save car fare, so that she may
have the money thus Swaziland some
times how pitifully saved-to buy some
thing that will make her look beautiful
in the eyes of the one she loves best.-Cor.

DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stltutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case OF Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that we cannot cure
by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.
