Household.

The following extract from the Ladies'
Home Companion might be of benefit to
Fort Worth mothers, and for this reason
is presented for their consideration:
SIN very interesting paper by Mrs.
Waller, the daughter of Professor Hulk
ley. on the Physical and Mental Train
ing of Children, she says, after various
other paragraphs full of wisdom
and sound common sense: Il
should like to say a few words
with regard TO what 1 think great
evil IN the education of girls. Atan age
of rapid growth the girl 8 health is some
times ruined for life by the system of
brain forcing to which she is subjected.
In many cases she has to work eight
hours day, which is the average num-
Der Of working hours of q grown
man. Examinations follow one
after another; there is no time to
attend to the development of
the body; at the most, one hour in the
twenty-four is gwen up to mild walk;
and the continuous sitting in stufy
room, STOPPING over books, narrows the
chest and spoils the eyesight. At the
age of eighteen, pale, an8mic young
lady energies from the schoolroom,
doubtless stocked with knowledge, but
bASO uORDIl6es Will ucdO6CucS duU DdCh-
aches 60 spoil the rest of her life.
''When one considers the extraordi-
nary rate at which a girl of fourteen
will grow, and how much of her forces
must be consumed in the mere act Of
growing, surely il seems more reasonable
to tighten her work than to increase it.
Such girl should only be allowed to
work in the mornings, when she is
freshest, and the rest of the day
should be devoted to the open air
and development OF her body by
healthy outdoor games. Above all
even If she has work in the afternoon
and some time must, suppose, be al
lowed for preparstion-no mental work
of any kind should be allowed after 5
p. m. After long day of school, many
q time does the tired child return with
quantity OF exercises, etc., to
be prepared for tomorrow, all OF which
must be done IN the evening, and it
stands to reason that it must be highly
prejudicial to the brain TO be taxed at
time when it is fatigued and the physical
powers of the child are at low ebb.
Every mother would do well to taxa
this advice to heart; and while the pres

There are not many lace novelties in
spite of the lace mania. Vandvke fea-
lures are brought out in all new goods
made. The Irish point lace, which is
not point at all but q pillow lace, is
quite pretty and very popular. So is the
Carrickmacross, which is a pretty thread
guipure. So is the La Tosca which comes
in Vandyke patterns.

that is blocked off in large squares by
hair lines of red or blue, and you will
find it both becoming and durable.

Perils OF the Sea.

New York, Sept. 16.-Capt. Collier OF
the steamship Normandic, which landed
her passengers yesterday, reports that
when ESQ miles east of Sandy Hook she
sighted the three-masted American ship
challenger, bound from West Hartleport TO
this port. Danger signals were streaming
from every available point an the Challen-
gers boards. She was dsmasted and her
sails torn to ribbons. The captain of the
Normandic, despite terrific gale that was
still blowing, sent boat and crew TO the
assistance of the Challenger. Their frail
craft was tossed up and down like a cookie
shell in the the trough Of the sea and the
return journey was equally dangerous.
The report was horrifying They said that
Capt. Thompson of the Challenger had re-
ported that during a terrific hurricane on
Sept l, IL of his crew had been washed
overheard, and that the majority of the
remainder were too i'll TO work the ship.
In addition TO the IL men drowned four
of the crew had their arms and legs broken,
leaving but four men TO work the ship. The
Challenger was in terribly crippled and
dismantled condition. Her mizzenmast
fore and maintop and topgallant-
mast, bowsprit, headgear and standing
rigging were gone, and she was making
only about three knots per hour under her
foresail and high reefed mainsail. Officer
Marshall offered medical assistance and
food but the captain of the Challenger
declined, saying all that he wanted was
for the Normandie TO take a letter to the
ships owners and mail the same upon their
arrival in this city.
The Challenger was frst-class Ameri-
can thrce-master, 800 tons burden, and
owed by Arthur Sewell 81 Co. of Bath,
Me. Sfs had taken cargo of general
merchandise from Portland, Ore, TO West
Hartleport, Eng, and was on her way in
ballast TO receive a cargo here for Portland,
Ore. The Challenger carried about %
men, crew, officers and cooks. She is
valued at 500, 900, and tug will go out
10 look for her.

"A SERIOUS DISASTER ON LAKE
SUPERIOR.
The Schooner Comrade Lost With
All On Board.
The Happenings Reported From All
Parts Of the State.
Lost With All On Board.

MARQUETTE. Sept 16.-There are well
grounded fears that the schooner Comrade,
with all hands, went down on Lake Super
Tor during the heavy gale of Friday night.
The Comrade was in tow of the steamer
Columbia, which arrived here this morning.
The captain reports that the Comrade
parted her towline shortly after five o'clock
Saturday morning aud was soon lost TO
sight. The wind was west southwest and
IL was surmised that the schooner would
drift toward the east end of Isle Royale,
80 miles distant. SATURDAY and Sunday,
however, were spent in fruitless search,
the Columbia making complete circuit Of
Isle Royale, penetrating every Inlet where
it would be possible for the schooner to
take refuge No trace of her was discov-
cred there or along the north shore. The
Comrade had a cargo of 900 tons Of iron
ore from Ashland. She is owned by Gil
christ of Vermillion, and is valued at $685.
900. She carried a crew of eight men.

WASHINGTON.
THE TARIFF BILL GOES TO A
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
The Senate's Order of Business to
Close the Session.
The End in Sight But Much is TO
be Done.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IS. 1890.

WAsnINGToN, ID. c., Sept. Is. 1890.
The tariff bill, having been amended and
passed by the senate, will now be placed
in the hands of a committee of conference
from both houses for final agreement on
the changes made since 1t passed the
house. The committee of conference it is
expected will not be long in coming to an
agreement and then the bill will go to the
President for his signature.
The order of business in the senate for
the remainder of the session is as follows:
l. Anti-lottery mail bill. 2. Bill to repeal
the timber culture act. 6. Bill to estab-
lish private land claim courts. 4. Bill for
for the relief of the supreme court. 5. For
for the adjustment of claims of laborers,
etc., in government employ or employed
by contractors doing government work.
Z. Bill to transfer the revenue marine SER
vice from the treasury to the navy depart
ment. s. The Paddock pure food bill. 6,
Bill for the settlement of claims arising
from Indian depredations. 10. Torrey
bankruptcy bill. IL. Bill to place tele-
graph companies under the operation of the
Interstate commerce law II. District of
Columbia bills.
The Senate on Tuesday adopted two inn
portant amendments to the tariff bill. The
first was the Aldrich reciprocity amend
ment, by which a simple and practical
way is found to bring about all the
reciprocity for which MIR. Blaine has been
contending The idea is Mr.. Blaines and
the agitation which forced reciprocity into
the tariff bill started with him. The form
finally adopted is believed to be at once the
most comprehensive and the simplest that
ha III. is
entitled 10 great credit for drawing up an
amendment which is so safe to the reve-
nues and yet so capable of being used 10
immense advantage in our foreign trade.
The second important amendment was
Offered by Mr.. Plumb. 1t provides for an
expert commission on the tariff. The
present bill will cut off from $50, 900, 900 to
$50, 900, coo of the revenue-&ll that can
possibly be spared at this time. AS trade
increases the country will be able to re-
duce duties on some articles and add other
articles TO a free list that already makes
one-third of the trade free from duty. The
commission amendment was adopted by a
single vote, and as one of those who voted
for it Senator Mcmillan said that for years
such a commission had been one of his
hobbies. He believed it TO be the only
means of arriving at the truth between
conflicting claims. Il do not believe" he
said, ''in keeping a duty on any article that
can be produced here as cheaply as
abroad. Just the moment an article can
stand without protection / believe in TAX
ing off the duty; but so long as our more
highly paid labor is thrown out of work by
cheap foreign labor l believe in placing the
duty just high enough to protect American
workingmen.

The effect of the Mckinley bill upon Ca

is aimed at meats and live stock. The
Dominion government will shortly an
nounce the abolition of export duty on pine
logs, in order TO meet the alternative pro-
vision in the Mckinley bill regarding Ca
