CLOTHING.

Every woman who is obliged to be much
on her feet should avoid heavy clothing.
The amount of vital energy that is wasted
by both mel and women who load them
selves with immense weights in the way of
padded cloaks and overcoats, and other
garments made of heavy material, cannot
be overestimated. In order to insure
warmth, provide yourself with warm an
derclothing. This can be bought of al
most imperceptible weight, and yet as
warn and comfortable as more heavy
material. The cost ofthese garments is ap-
parently greater thau that of the coarser
material, but as they usually wear longer,
ultimately they are quite as cheap. Remem-
Der, that for every pound of weight you
take from your clothing you more than
double your powers Of physical endurance,
and consequently your chances OF success.
This light Undertaking can be readily
found at all places where reform garments
are sold. Buekskin is, perhaps, the light
est material used for Undertaking. The
writer of this has found great comfort ina
perforated buckskin vietorine worn unde
a short Jacket. Its weight is hardly per-
ceptible. but it makes a light jacket COM
Portable enough for all except the s%everest
weather. By the use of this, one is en-
abled to adapt her clothing to the changes
of the weather, by merely leaving it off
when not needed. 1t would be impossible
to enumerate the diseases that are caused
by wearing heavy outer garments during
the intervals Of warm weather which occur
during the winter months.
Women who value their health should
avoid the long padded clsaks as they
would contagion. II you have me weigh
it and see how much strength Won arc
throwing away in carrying 1t. Ii YOU
must have a leng cloak. purchase one OF
light material, and IL it is not of sufficient

THREE THINGS sooD TO KNOW.

One Of the most useful hints for sick
room attendance is very seldom known
outside Of a hospital ward, and not even
there in many cases. The hint is how to
obtain a cold cloth without the use of ice.
Every one knows that in fevers or weak
ness a cold cloth on the forehead or face or
base of the brain is one of the most on
fortiDg things in the world. In the tropical
hospitals and where ice is scarce all that is
necessary is to wet a linen cloth, wave it to
and f-o in the air, fold it and place on the
patient. Have a mother cloth ready, wave
it to and fro just before applying it. These
cloths have a more grateful and lasting
GOODNESS than those made b. the burn
ing cold produced by ice.
How TO WIPE THE FACE.
Thousands of people, when drying their
faces after washing, wipe them downward
that is from forehead to chin. This is a
mistake. Always use upwafd-from the
chin to the forehead-and oatward-to-
ward the ear-motions. Never wipe any
part Of the face downward.
HOW TO sToP a HIocoUeH.
A very good authority gives a very sim
pie remedy for hieeough, a lump of sugar
saturated with vinegar. In ten cases, tried
as experiment, it stopped hiccough in niue.

r AUTOGRAPHS.

People who are lucky enough to be pro-
vided with babies can extract considerable
amusement by use of a plan recently sug-
gested in a scientific journal. Procure 5
cents worth Of plaster of paris and a little
olive oil. In a rather deep plate of any
kind mix the plaster with cold water, after
first greasing the plate. The mixture
should be to the consistency Of very soft
putty. That is, make a mass as soft as
will hold together, and allow the hand tt
plunge into this (drst greasing the hand to
prevent sticking) and in a short time-a
very few minutss-the plaster will 'iset,"
when the member may be removed care
fully.
Before it is hard pierce the plaster with
some sharp instrument-say a nail max
ing a couple of holes near the edge for con-
y~en'ence in mounting later. With some OF
the gold bronzes or liquid gliding, to be
easily obtained, paint the surface outside
the outline of the hand, going in between
the fingers, but leaving the imprt ssien
proper showing wholly white. The best
way to mount the cast is to cover a board
with plush-blue looks well against the
gold ard white-attach it by means of
brass headed -tacks driven through the
holes provided. So treated baby's FIRST
impressions" may be carried through his
life with q decided touch of reality.

MISTAKES IN SPEAKING.

How many people are there who pro-
nounce any proportion of their words cor
reetly, not merely by reason Of clipping
and mcuthing, but by ignorance of good
usage? We find them everywhere, and
they lay the accent on the first instead of
on the second syllable of acclimate, for ex-
ample; they pronounce the second syllable
of acoustics. coo, instead of cow; they do
not put the accent on the last syllable of
adept, as they should do; they leave the
"a" sound out Of buoy; they pronounce
duke with the sound of 100 instead of
ith the sim pie long ~: emphasize the
first instead of the second syllable of ener-
yate; and sound the 81 in often. They
are astonished to know that precedence has
the accent on tie second syllable, and
placard OF the last; that quay is called key;
that sough is SUI, that the e. instead Of
the IS" sound is given in sacrifice. and the
reverse in rise; that subtitle and subtle are
two different words; that the last syllable
of tortoise i. pronounced sits" instead Of
''tus;'' that it shonld be used not ust; aud
that it is not the 200" but the geological
gardens where one goes to see the %chimpau-
zee and not the ehimpanze. 1t is quite
time, we think, when we hear one of these
takers, for some of the fancy work and
fancy studies of the day to be dropped,
and a little hard work on the dictionary
put in their place.-Harpe1's Bazdr.

HOME

For a good, everyday household angel
give US a m who laughs. Her bis
cult may not always be just right, and she
may occasionally burn her bread and for
get to replace dislocated buttons, but for
solid comfort all day and every dav she is
a paragon. Home is not a battlefield, nor
life one long amending row. The trick of
always seeing the bright side. or if the mat
ter has no bright side Of shining up the
dark one, is a very important faculty, one
of the things no woman should be without.

The Story of o Life.

A child in the nursery ~crying-a boy in a

A youth for a ~phantasy sighing-a man with a

peated in vain
A field plowed deep and narrowed. but bare
and barren of grain
Some sense of experience wasted, Of counsel
misunderstood,
OF pleasure bitter when tasted, and pain that

Some sparks of sentiment persisted, some
flashes of genius lost
A torrent of false love cherished-a ripple OF
true love crossed
Some feeble breasting of trouble to glide again
with the stream
In principle void as a bubble-in purpose vague
A future hope half hearted. for dim is the fu-
ture now
That the triple crown is parted, and death Is
damp on the brow.

LIVING Too FAST.

The deadliest foe to a mans longevity u
an unnatural and unreasonable excitement
Every man is born with a certain stock cf
vitality, which cannot be increased, but
which may be husbanded or expended rap
idly as be deems best. Within certain
limits he has his choice, to live fast or slow,
to live abstemiously or intensely, to draw
his little amount of life over a large space,
or condense it into a narrow one; but when
his stock is exhausted he has no more.
He who lives abstemiously, who avoids all
stimulants, takes light exercise, never
overtasks himself, INDUCES no ~exhausting
passions. feeds his mind and heart on no
exciting material, has no facilitating
pleasure, let's nothing ruffie his temper,
keeps his accounts with God and man
duly squared up is sure, barring acct
dents, To spin out his life to the longest
limit which it is possible to attain; while
he who lives intensely, who lives on high
seasoned food, whether material or mental,
fatig.es his body or brain by hard labor,
exposes himself to inflammatory diseases,
seeks continual excitement, gives loose
rein to his passions, frets at every trouble,
and enjoys little repose, is burning the
candle at both ends, and is sure to shorten
his DAYS,

Do the Children Paye

'Do children pay?' said old man Scruggs,

Jest wait til you've been married, say, some
twenty years or So
You'll have more sense than to stand up there
and throw your time away,
By askin sech fool questions. Pay. Great
gosh OF course they pay!
"We go home tuckered out at night, they'll
climb upon our knees,
And when we try to keep 'em down, they'll
cry for one more squeeze,
And raar and pitch about us all, until fust
thing we know
Our joints are free from achin and our hearts
are in a glow.
'They pay us when their frank young love
shines out in their jolly eyes;
Even when our ears are deafened. there's a
music in their cries
Sweeter than all the fddles and planners ever
made
Don't think it's so? Well, now, you wait, and
member what Nv said.
THE man whose children's hearts are his is
the man who is truly blest;
The sight at home of his boys and gals is more
to him than rest.

this weary world today
II all men only could understand what big in.

A woman's Hate.

~ hate you, l hate you," the maiden said,
And her eyelids dropped and her face grew
red,
And she turned from her lover and hung her
head.
The lush crept up to her rich brown hair,
And she plucked to pieces a rosebud fair,
AS she stole a glance at her lover there.
And he, these men are so full Of guile;
His eyes a-glistening with mirth he while.
Looked calmly on. with a doubling smile.
II hate you'll l hate you'll" she said again.
And she tapped her toe on the carpet then.
AS if each tap were a stab at men.
Her lip was a-quiver, her eyes in mist.
Her cheek and throat, as the sun gods kissed.
Were bathed in the essence of amethyst.
And then her love, with a startled look,
Grew serious quite, and his face forsook
The confident glow which it erstwhile took.
And, sOh, very we'll" as he rose to go;
And if it please you to have it so,
Why, so it shall be, as you doubtless know"
He took one step, but a sudden turned;
Oh, much the sweetest is bliss unearned;
And looked in the tear wet eyes that yearned-
Around his neck. oh, a woman's mind
Is a puzzle, to which no key you'll ind.
Upon his shoulder she laid her head.
And he kissed her cheek, which was still rose
red;
"You know 1 hate your was all she said.

SONGS THAT SHE SANG.

Only one person heard her-and those
ears were sympathetic. The singer was
thin, with one OF those gray transparent
faces that somehow recall eggsbell china.
All the life of it lay in the eyes-such fine
eyes they must ave been when roses
flushed below them, even yet there was
latent fire in them. The car was almost
empty. 1t was one of those that crawl
sleepily out from the great city and bring
you now and again a glimpse of hedgerows
aiame with golden-rod, of old gray houses
set about with thick LEAKAGE, and glorious
with stretches Of untidy turf.
The gray woman's eye dwelt thirstily
upon them. By and by she began to sing
not loud, indeed hardly above her
breath; SO low, in fact, that the cars
creaking drowned it-then fell away. The
singing was sweet, with a note of fresh
ness despite the years that must have pass.
ed betwixt the singer and her springtime.
The listeners caught it only in snatches.
Now it was
She'd a rose in her bonnet,
And oh! she looked sweet
AS the little pink flower
That grows in the wheat.
The car groaned and bumped over a rail
way crossing and ratified over a stony
block. Still her lips moved lightly-the
| SONG went on with the journey. A mist
rose in the faded eyes. Then in an inter
val of smooth rails you caught,
The ferryman'sta tall and the ferryman's young,
And he's just q soft twang in the turn of his
tongue,
| And he's fresh as a pippin and brown as a
berry,
And swiftly he'll row you to Twickenham
town.
Who knows but she, too, has crossed a
"T~wickenham ferry?' Halfway the bal
| lad her lips trembled into silence. A min
ute later there came from them
On the other side of Jordan,
In the bright fields Of Eden.
Where the tree OF life is blooming,
There is rest
The singing stopped suddenly-there
was a catch in the singers throat. The
| thought of 'trest at home'' overcame her.
Maybe it was long-so long-since home
was more to her than a name. She had
the look of solitariness that you see il
those whose only abiding place is under a
hired roof.
She looked out of the window steadily
for at least ten blocks. Then, unconseiously
it seemed, she began, while we crept past
a high stone wall, all afaunt with asters.
| oh. could you see them through torrent and
brake,
| Each sportsman right gallant his rivailed
race take,
'Twould have pleased beauts's ear TO have
heard echoes wake
To the hunters orn-the hunters horn-the
hunters horn in the morning.
The car stopped, a dozen passengers
| crowded in. and the singer sang no more.
| Bat one fellow traveller was haunted all
day by her pale, clear face and the low
sweetness of her old, old songs.-Nen York

Perhaps some of our readers may be in
terested in some Culinary couplets, by a
rbyming epicure," which copy from an
exchange, as they contain in a short space
many useful hints.
Always have lobster sauce with salmon,
And put mint sauce your roasted lamb on;
Veal outlets dip in egg and bread erumb,
Fry till you see a brownish red come.
Crate Grlyere cheese on macaroni;
Make the top crisp but not too boHy.
In venisou, gravy currant jelly;
Mix with old port du Francatelle.
In dressing salad, mind this law
With two hard yolks, use one that's raw;
Roast veal with rich stock gravy serve,
And picked mushrooms too, observe
Roast pork, sans apple sauce, pass doubt,
Is "HamIet," with the prince left out.
Your mutton-chops with paper cover,
And make them amber brown all over.
Broil lightly your beefsteak-to fry 1t
Argues contempt of Christian diet,
Buy s~tale-fed pigeons. When you've got them,
The way to cook them is TO pot them;
woodgrouse are dry, when gumps have
mar'd 'em.
Before you roast 'em, always lard 'em.
To roast spring chickens is to spoil 'em,
Just split 'em down the back and oroil EN-.
1t gives true epicures the vapors
To see boiled mutton minus capers.
Boil turkey. gourmands know, of course,
Is exquisite with celery sauce.
The cook deserves a hearty cutting
Who serves roast fowl with t~oastless stufiing.
Smells require egg and biscuit powder
Don't put fat pork in your clam cbowder
Egg sauce-few make 1t right, alas.
Is good with blue fish or with bass.
Nice oyster sauce gives zest TO cod,
A fish, when fresh. to feast a god.
Shad, stuffed and baked, is most delicious
'Twould have electrified Apicius.
Roasted in paste, a haunch of mutton
Might make ~ascetics play the CLINTON.
But one might rhyme for weeks this way,
And still have lots OF things to say.
And so I'll close-for, reader mine,
This Is about the hour l dine.

CELERY FOR WINTER USE.

considering them worthless, | neglected to
bank them at all. Bat just before hard
freezing set in, took up part of the plants,

down the Others, and trimmed in the roots
about one half, and set them out as com
pactly as possible in boxes of good garden
soil, and placed the boxes 10 a warm, dark
cellar. Now,two months later, l can shoW
the prettiest lot of celery | EVER saw. The
stalks are perfectly blanched, there is a

we'll. Let those that love good celery try

A B~ridegroom's Reyerie.
1t seems so strange to see her curls
Pinned up In paper, and to know
Just how she cleans her teeth those pearls
And how she makes her eyebrows bow,
To hear her scold a little bit,

Or frankly guy my collars ct
With perfect fearlessness of speech;
To watch her ironing bits of lace,
And sewing buttons ON her shoes,
And calmly powdering her face.
And with q hand glass taking views
At various angles Of the style
In which her smooth back hair b

And asking with a lenient smile
Which I consider looks the best;
