ooINo TO HOUSEKEEPING.
Suffering Caused by Ignorance OF Domes-
tic Affairs.

SunerfnR Caused by Ignorance OF Domes-
tic Affairs.
To some the beginning of their house
keeping is the beginning of an era of
delight and ever-increasing happiness.
To others it is the beginning of an era
OF pain. vexation and disappointment.
Everything depends on the preparation
that precedes it. The young woman
who has been made familiar with the
various duties and demands made upon
the housewife, who has been in the
habit OF taking the care from her moth
er's shoulders or sharing the burden of
it, will enjoy having house and home
OF her own, and managing it in all its
details Recalling her mothers meth
DDS, she will gradually perfect her own
and adapt them to the exigencies of her
situation.
The young woman without this prep
aration will find herself plunged into a
sea OF troubles. If she has servants her
trouble will be increased rather than
diminished, for she is not only at tho
mercy of her own ignorance and in
capacity, but also at the mercy of her
servants. who will he very far above
the average If they do not take advan-
taRe Of her deficiencies to slight their
work and waste as much as they earn.
Then. again, home that is in fact pre-
sided over by servants is very unsatis-
factory place, as much so to its nomi-
nal mistress as to its masculine head.
The sufferings women untaught in
domestic affairs often undergo in MAX
ing expert housekeepers are very great.
The routine that must be observed, the
drudgery that must be done, the habits
that must be broken, and the habits
that must be formed-these make life a
burden, and for the time dim affection
and hope. The romance of married
life dies out under the monotony Of
three meals day, with the in-
evitable dish-washinR accompanying
them, of perpetual sweeping and clean
ing and renewing; but when the bur-
den Is taken up and borne with cheer
fulnsss and positive gladness, then it
ceases to be . burden, and love makes
II light.

FOR AUTUMN WEAR,

The Bell Skirt to Be One of the Fail Favor
ties.
The autumn skirt promises to be the
bell skirt The first bell skirts were
cut out in semi-circular form and with
but one seam down the center of the
back. The modification which is most
favored to-day has a separate front
breadth slightly gored at either side,
and breadth on either side, each of
which form quadrants of a circle and
meet In bias seam in the center of the
back. This skirt is made with a simple
hem around the bottom, and finished
on the bottom entirely by hand, as a
machine seam might cause the skirt to
flare at the edge and set in an unPrace-
full manner. Only the simplest border
is allow able around these skirts, which
must be made soft and clinging at the
back without the use of crinoline. A
border of narrow bias ruf1es, not over
two or three inches wide, put on in a
group of three, is sometimes used; but
more often soft border of fine passe-
menterie finishes the skirt on the ex-
treme edge. The new bell skirts, in
tended to be worn with shirt
waists. and for general ath-
letic wear, are finished with
pointed Swiss belt ornamented with a
row of tiny buttons on either side,
while the skirt itself is severely plain,
except for piping about the hem on
the bottom, and perpendicular pocket
flaps at the sides of the front breadth,
which are ornamented with buttons
and under which substantial pockets
are placed.
The much-mooted question of the
position of woman's pocket is done
away by the fall fashions, as nearly all
the tailor dresses for general wear have
two substantial pockets, one on each
side, and their ornamentation is a part
of the garniture If the dress. Some
of the new dresses have circular pock-
cts slit in them on either hip, and are
finished at the ends with narrow heads
of silk. A fanciful way of trimming
the severely plain skirt of tailor made
dresses is to pipe it with braid or color
around the front seems and allow this
piping to run up one-third the length
of the seam on either side Of the front
breadth. The pointed belt and curvine
pockets are then finished with piping
in similar manner.-N. Y. Tribune

confirmed invalid who, three or four
times year, had spells of expecting

But, while Amos was sick and ex-

HamIfn Marched with "the Boys"

Here is a story told by Frederick Doug
lass: In 1860, when Hannibal Hamlin was
the candidate of his party for the vice
presidency, he made several political
speeches in Maine. One of them was de-
hvered Ct Houlton, and Douglass was to
occupFIhe platform with him on that oc-
casion. 1t was recognized as "a great event
to have two such eminent orators to ad
dress a mass meeting in Aroostook county.
A barouche, with four fine horses, was sent
TO convey the distinguished speakers to the
hall or grove where the convention was
held, and there were band and a large es-
cort of wide awakes," who marched on
foot.
The distance was more than mile and
the road was fearfully muddy. The COM
mittee of arrangements were escorting
Hamlin and Douglass to the carriage, and
the latter was consratulating himself upon
escaping the long walk in the mud, when
he was Mortified by hearing Hamlin refuse
to get into the barouche. "Oh no." said
he, Il will march with the boysW Doug
lass felt that it would not do for him to
ride when the candidate for the vice presi-
dency of the United States was marching
with the boys" and so be marched, much
against his will, and the carriage was sent
away empty. 1t is easy TO imagine how
"the boys" liked thal sort of thing Lew

Drinking Water and Lead Poisoning.


The appearance of one or two cases of
supposed lead poisoning in this city, gen
orally credited with having the finest water
supply in the kingdom, has reopened the
whole question of the action of Loeb Ka-
trine water on lead. The popular idea,
firmly held for long time, has been that,
though the water might have some slight
action on new pipes, this ceases after a
short period of use by reason of the forma-
ton of a protective coating.
No less an authority than DR.. E. j. Mills
now says that this is pure delusion, and
asserts that lead pipes and cisterns never
cease to act On the Loeb water, and fur
thermOre, that the coating, in which the
citizens have hitherto placed their faith, is
not inSoluble, but is taken up by the water
to an easily recognized extent. Professor
Dittmar, who has also devoted consider
able attention to the matter, appears to
have more faith in the coating.
He considers that the inner surface of a
lead pipe which has conveyed soft water
for time undergoes a change, in virtue of
which it becomes, in a relative sense, proof
against the action of water, but adds that
its liability to be dissolved by water con-
tanning cir, as all natural waters do, never
ceases absolutely.
Generally speaking, his conclusions are
that water for drinking and culinary pur-
poses should not be stored in lead cisterns,
but that there is no danger in using water
from lead pipes, unless it has been lying
stagnant for long period, the remedy for
which state of things is obvious.-London

The division of microscopy of the United
States department of agriculture, in re
spouse to numerous demands from various
localities, has issued a pamphlet with pic
lures and descriptions of edible mush-
rooms. In almost every section and eli
mate are found quantities of these articles,
which are little used, owing TO the inability
of the majority of people TO distinguish the
nutritious from the poisonous varieties.

exhaustive investigation into the food
values OF mushrooms, state that many
