These Accomplishments Are "a Essential ~
Ability to Dance and sing.
1t is one Of the vagaries Of our orna'
mental training Of girls that II usually
leaves untouched the simple, necessary,
every day matter in order to cultivate
what is occasional and often superhu'
GUS. Thus girl who walks abomin'
ably is taught with greatest care to
dance, and another whose speaking
voice suggests any thing but the Lorelei
is given expensive singing lessons. There
is just now little movement in the di'
rection Of teaching girls to do well the
ordinary acts which make up most lives.
II is tendency which ought TO be
strongly encouraged. The vocal.cul'
ture classes and the Delsarte system OF
aesthetic gymnastics may not succeed
in teaching all women to speak well
and to move we'll, but they at least
show dawning consciousness in tho
world that these are desirable things
to do. ....
It is true, there is prejudice against
this sort of training. LET young wo-
men be natural and unaffected" is still
the lament of many who ought long
ago to have found out that unconscious
grace" is nothing but a hoary-headed
old humbug, made respectable through
poetic patronage. BY all means let
girls be natural and unaffected, but the
best way to do it is to train them in
such irreproachable habits that they
will never feel the need of affecting any
Others. The monstrosity of company
manners" is easily analysed. A woman
who displays this most Objectionable
species of department does 1t because
she feels that her ordinary behavior ID
unattractive, so she tries to improve II
by whatever impromptu methods occur
to her. 1t is mistake, Of course. She
might as well try to cover up the fact
that she was ignorant of some foreign
tongue by plunging boldly into con
versation in it.-Caroline Gray Lingle

SIMPLE DIET THE SAFEST.
Mothers Cannot Be Too Careful of the
Quality of Food for Children.

Mothers Cannot BE Too Careful of tho
Quality of Food for Children.
Yes, the simplest is the safest, and the
best is the cheapest. The butcher, for ex-
ample, or the egg merchant, cannot adul-
terate his wares, but he may have several
qualities, and there is a stage in respect to
all animal foods which renders them to a
large extent poisonous, and this is as bad
II not worse h adulteration.
We often hear it said that shop eggs, as
they are called, are good enough for frying
with bacon or ham. This is a mistake; an
egg that has even a suspicion of staleness
about it is deleterious to health, not to say
dangerous, no matter whether it be fried
or boiled. The same may be said of flesh
meats of all kinds.
It is a truism that any kind of food or
mixed diet which requires the aid of slim
ulant for their digestion is not salutary.
Such a diet is a tax upon the whole sys-
tenn, and causes heat and discomfort and
q feverish state of the blood, which can
only end in debility of the nervous system
and more or less prostration.
Those who would obtain the greatest
amount of health and comfort from the
food they eat must be most careful in its
selection. Every one ought to know what
agrees with him and what does not.
Through the summer months the table
should be abundantly supplied with fruits
and vegetables. Children especially should
be fed literally on fruits to avoid heat
rashes, rushes of the blood to the head and
digestive troubles.
As a rule the healthy stomach will easily
absorb any reasonable quantity of fruit
taken at proper seasons. Weak and abused
digestive organs will have to be treated
more carefully, but will ultimately grow
accustomed to a fruit diet and be all the
better for it. To do good, fruit must be
properly ripe and sound. If eaten green or
between meals it will interfere with diges-
ton and cause bowel troubles. Acids pre-
vent calcareous degeneration, keeping the
bones elastic, as well as preventing the
accumulation of earthly matters. This is
because of their solvent power. Fruit is
perfect food when fully ripe, and if it were
