A School for Young Mothers.

DR.. Clara Bliss Kinds and Mrs. II. L..
Coolidge, of Washington, D. c., have
opened a nursery for the instruction of
mothers. Women of all n~ationalities are
taught by means of simple lectures how to
care for their children, and as an object
lesson is always better than theory, a baby
is procured for the occasion, washed,
dressed, fed and put to sleep in the pres
ence of the audience. Nursery improve
ments and sanitary reforms are exhibited,
and samples of foods are passed around
and later cooked and fed tt the child that
may need nourishment. There is sore
need for work of this sort in New York
city.-New York Letter.

How Women Use Slang,

II object" says a clever man, ito the
cowardly way women have of swearing
and using slang. Have you never noticed
how they do it2 In quotation marks.
When a woman is SO deeply moved that
she wants to swear does she give vent to
the round, satisfying single syllable that a
man wouldi Not at all. She says it, to
be sure, but she sneaks into the satisfac-
ton of it in something this way: If I were
a man. she says, 4 should say so and So
And saying so and so,' spelled with four
letters, has given her again the temper of
an angel without having brought upon
her the %opprobrium of having actually
sworn.
"In much the same way does she use a
slang expression. The real gentlewoman
stands unwilling before the vulgarity of
slang. She wants its pith and point at
times, but she doesn't want to adopt it as
her own out and out. So when she uses a
bit of it she prefaces it by some such re-
mark as This is what a man would CALL
or uses it first and then disclaims it by an
nexing as a man would say Or, neatest
of all, by a dainty infection of her voice
she throws the expression into quotation
points. Don't you recall it?
"Aman says to her, for instance, 4 feel a
little "seedy" this morning. and she asks
in return. How does a man feel when he
feels "seedy?'' Until she reaches that last
word she speaks in her own voice and per
SOD Just there she makes a little pause,
her voice shifts into a key of lady like dep
recation, and she says the word, but says
it in a way that reminds the man at once
that the word is his and not hers.
Just watch the next woman who uses
slang in your presence, and see if you do
not catch the quotation point tone at once,
and see if you do not feel, when she is
done, that, though she has used the ex-
preston out and out, she has not for a
m identified herself with it, or as
sumed the responsibility of it."-New York
Evening Sun.

SILVER JACK.
How He Checked the Spread of Infdeli,y

How He Checked the Spread of Infdeli,y
in a Nevada Silver Camp.
Probably few of his colleagues know that
Senator Jones of Nevada is a poetic genius,
as the following, published for the first
time, shows:
lin 1880 q murderer by the name of Silver Jack
was COMPUTED to the jackson renitentiary to
serve u life sentenced
was on the drive in 80. workin' under Silver
Jack,
Which tha same is now in Jackson, and amt
soon expected back,
And there was a chap among us by the name of
Robert Waite,
Kind o cute, and slick. and tonguey: guess he
was q graduate.
He could CAB on any subject. from the bible
down to Hoyle,
And his words flowed out 80 easy. just as smooth
and slick as oil.
He was what they called a skeptic, and he loved
to sit and weave
Hifalutin words together, telling what he didn't
b'lieve.
One day, while we we're waiting, for q flood to
clear the ground,
We all sat smoking niger! cad. and hearing Bob
expound.
He'll. he said, was humbug, and he showed as
clear as day,
That the bible was a fable. and we lowed it
looked that way.
Miracles, and such like, was too thin for him to
stand,
As for Him they called the Savior, he was just a
common man.
YOU'RE a liar" some one shouted, land you've
got to take it back"
Then everybody started; twas the voice of Silver
Jack.
And he cracked his fists together, and he shucked
his coat. and cried
ut was by that thar religion that my mother
lived and died;
And although I haven't allays used the Lord ex-
aotly right.
When l hear a chump abuse Him. he must eat his
words, or fight"
Now this Bob he war'n't no coward. and he an
swered bold and free:-
stack your duds, and cut your capers, for there
amt no flies on me-"
And they fought for forty minutes, and the lads
would boot, and cheer
When Jack spit up a tooth or two, or Bobby lost
an ear.
Till at last Jack got Bob under, and slugged him
once't or twice't,
At which Bob confessed, almighty quick, the d.
vinity of Christ;
And Jack kept reasoning with him till the cuss
begin to YELL
And allowed he'd been mistaken in his views
concernin' hell.
50 the fierce discussion ended, and they riz up
from the ground,
And some one brought a bottle out, and kindly
passed it round;
And we drank to Jacks religion, in a quiet sort
of way,
And the spread of infdelity was checked in camp
that day.

Woman as She Is at Thirty,

BalZac has said that at thirty a woman
is at her most fascinating aid dangerous
age-dangerous to the hearts of men.
Perhaps no writer understood so well his
own countrywomen as Balzac, and no one
has contributed quite so many cynical allu-
sions to the sex in general. But Balzac's
criticisms would apply to a certain type of
woman, more seen in France, let us hope,
char in our own America. To the blase
man of the world the blushing debutante
is peculiarly attractive. But it is the
woman of thirty who whirls him in a vor-
tex of emotions. She has lived and ex-
perienced, and she is alert to every sensi-
bility. She revels in the part of heroine,
and in the disturbances and agitations of
which she is the cause. She looks upon
the dainty creature of twenty as milk and
rosebuds-so simple.
She goes on indefatigably playing her
part. In perfect knowledge of her charms,
unlike the young thing'' by her side,
she uses each to advantage. She knows,
through her well trained intuition, the
particular weakness-the grande passion,
OTTO speak-of each victim. And with great
fnesse she becomes, for the time, an en-
thusiast upon the same subject, pursues,
with we'll feigned sincerity, the same "fad;"
whether politics or athletics, theosophy or
music-from Beethoven to Strauss-she
will always be found a devotee to each.
Flattery in itssweetest subtlety, satire in
it's keenest flashes, are we'll at her COM
mand. For alasl for her the time is rapidly
approaching when she must range among
the lockers on; when the chill of autumn
will usher in the Indian summer. Fortu-
nate is she if it brings with it the ripe
graces and the poetic suggestions which
give to that season Of decay its most mellow
charm. True hearted is she if she earns at
last the best success this world can give:
the possession of a brave and helpful spirit,
rich in self knowledge, self control and
self help, a tombstone to all who approach.

Rutgers female college, New York city, is
so confirmed IN invalid hat her lectures
are read at her dictation by her secretary,
and she illustrates her ideas of cooking
while seated in an lnvalid's chair. She

could produce a first-class soup with a
wish bone, a quart of water, a watercress,

SEALS DISAPPEARING.

Slow Diplomatic Negotiations Likely to Re-
suit in their Being Wiped Out.
WASHINGTON, Oct 11.-Ofhcial reports
received at the Treasury Department
from Special Agent Golf, in charge of
the seal island fisheries, are of a most
discouraging character. They state
that poaching has been carried on this
season to such an extent as actually to
threaten the life of the seal industry as
a source of revenue to the United States
in the future and if persisted in to the
same extent next season, to endanger
its very existence. Because of the
alarming extent to which poaehing has
been carried on the number of seals al
lowed to be captured by the North
American Commercial Company, which
holds a lease of St George and St Paul
Islands, was limited BY the Treasury
Department to 20, 900 this season, though
their contract called for go. 600.
1t IS estimated by the Treasury De-
partment officials familiar with the
poaching operations in the Behring sea
that fully 60. 600 seals have been cap
tured unlawfully this season. These
seals are shot in the open ocean and not
more than one in six shot is secured
This would represent a slaughter of
800, 600 seals which have been wantonly
killed and whose skins have never been
recovered. 1t is not thought that the
seal can long withstand this slaughter,
as the seals are killed Unfortunately,
without regard to age, sex or breeding
