Some Women Lawyers,

"Pier, Mrs. Pier and the three Misses
Pier, attorneys and counselors at law;
Mrs. Kate Pier, United States court
commissioner"
So runs the announcement of a most
remarkable law firm in Milwaukee.
Some years ago Mrs. Kate Pier, the only
woman magistrate in the United States,
found herself involved in business per-
plexities so intricate as to render it
cheaper for her to become a lawyer her
self than to hire one. Acting under the
advice of her counsel, she entered upon
the study of law, which she completed
in company with her eldest daughter at
the Wisconsin State university.
By recent act of the legislature Mrs.
Pier was made court commissioner, and
received the honor to sit among the bar
risters, the first woman in the world
thus honored except Portia. Kate Pier,
Jr., is the trial or jury member of the
firm. Miss Caroline and Miss Harriet
Pier were graduated from the law de-
partment of the university in July. The
former is making special study OF ad-
miralty law. The latter is in the Of
fee with her mother and sister.-New

A Very Exalted Little Girl.

Miss Winter, the English governess
who is superintending the studies Of
little Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland, re-
hates that her youthful majesty already
speaks Dutch fuently, in which Ian
guage she is enjoined always to converse
with her mother and her encourage, for
young as she is, she has even now an
equerry and two aides-de-camp in at
tendance. She speaks English and
French fairly well, and even little
italian; but, curiously enough, she is
rather backward in German, although
her mothers tongue, as her father, the
late king, detesting the Prussians and
everything Prussian, would not allow
his daughter to learn German.
Every morning after breakfast the
young queen reads chapter of the Bible
in English to her mother, which the
queen regent then explains to her
daughter. Two hours are then devoted
by the royal child to her pigeons, the
garden and her dolls, Of which she has
thirty-nine. She makes all her dolls
clothes, and washes in her own tiny
tubs all her dolls underclothing. She
is very skinful with her needle, and
knows how to make bread and all sorts
Of plain pastry. ry.-London Cor. Chicago

They Had Reason to Be Proud. !.

Iknsw of four ladies living in differ
ent parts Of the city who have made
their own fall bonnets, and I know that
those bonnets are stylish, becoming and
tasteful, because have seen them on the
heads of the makers. How did find out
all about it9 By standing near the ladies
as they discussed the facts in all detail
while lettering about the foyer Of thea
ter the other afternoon. Strange as it
may seem, too, the ladies talked of the
hats as though they were proud of them,
as they had right to be, and profes-
sional milliner who had seat near them
looked on benignly meanwhile as though
she had no sort of an idea as to the sub
ject Of the conversation. She impressed
me with her heroism.-Detroit Free

Practical Work by a woman's Club.


The Boston branch of the Vassar Stu
dents Aid society shows its appreciation
of the privileges it's members enjoyed at
college in very practical manner by
trying to give to other women the same
privileges.
They offer scholarship of 5000 to that
applicant from localities represented in
the society who passes the best entrance
examination in June, 1892, for Vassar.
To raise money for this object in part
the society has established courses Of
lectures free to members of the society,
with slight admission fee for outsid-
ers.
The first lecture of the winter course
was delivered in the parlors Of the New
England Woman's club by Rev. William
Eliot Griffis, D. D., on the subject, "a
Summer Ramble in the Dutch and Eng
lish Holland" with stereopticon views,
illustrating the Netherlands and the
eastern counties Of England.
Subsequent lectures will be given in
January and March by Fraulein An
tome Stole and Colonel T. w. Higgin-
son.-Boston Globe.

Ruxinr Things beforehand.

"Do you know" said woman who is
good and close shopper, II never buy
thing directly in season? When one of
my children needs a cloak, for instance,
winter one, let Us say, wait until the
season for fall cloaks is over or just about
over, when make round among the
good shops and select some. dark or
wintry looking cloak of good weight.
Such one is sure to be found by little
careful searching: it has been marked
down to really low price, yet is of ex-
cellent style, good material and finish,
and, with twenty cent sheet of wool
wadding fitted inside, or worn with a
chamois jacket, becomes handsome and
suitable winter cloak. It is far more
satisfactory than the cheap cloaks offered
as winter ones, and the cost is about
two-thirds.
81 buy the children's hats in February
for the next winter; the styles do not
radically change for the little folks wear,
and l get much better value for the
money. In the same way in the spring,
just as the merchants are putting away
heavy underwear, supply the family
needs for the next cold season. In Feb
ruary most shoe stores put out bargains
that are such; carry in my purse the
sizes of every member of my household,
including even my husbands, and when
discover pair that fits one Of us at a
low price take it. 1t does not take any
more time and save much money by
this system, and we. have much better
clothes than by selecting everything in
the height of its season. Her Point Of
View in New York Times.

Brush Clothes Frequently.

Clothes of wool which are rarely
brushed and never hung out of doors
soon come to have an appearance of long
use, when the same clothes, if carefully
brushed every time they are worn and
frequently hung out of doors, will al
ways be fresh and will keep their good
looks very much longer.
Care should be used to select brush
broom or whisk of fine broom corn. 1t
will cost more than the coarser ones, but
in the end will be saving, as the coarser
ones wear the clothing more rapidly =

pants cloth, and fit them on the castings
so that the doors will close against them
on being shut. Bank the walls well and
paste cloth and then paper over all the
breaks in the plastering. If the floor
boards are shrunken, leaving cracks,
paste paper over the cracks, then put on
several layers of paper under the carpet.
If in room where there are no carpets,
mend the old floor with new one.
Dress the little child who must play
on the floor first in flannel garment,
covering it from neck to heels. Over
this put waist made of heavy flannel
or the best pieces of the husbands coats
or pants. A skirt of the same may be
sewed to this waist. like the idea of
divided skirts for little girls to wear over
the underdrawers. Imake them exactly
as the divided skirts are made for older
people.

divided skirt made of heavy flannel, the
skirt and waist just described (the waist
should have long sleeves), a princess dress

A woman Real Estate Dealer

The only licensed woman real estate
dealer in Washington is Miss Grace
Thomas. A year ago she secured her
first license, and when she had paid the
regular fee of fifty dollars she had a
capital of sixty-five cents left with which
TO begin operations. She had, however,
q good business training in that special
line as well as plenty of enterprise, good
sense and grit. This year, after paying

The robin was there In its nest in the willow;
Twas chirping its birdlings q sweet lullaby.
The bluebird was smoothing its soft, downy
pillow,
And calling its mate still upin the sky.
The daisies were nodding out in the green
meadow,
Their round, golden eyes were beginning to
close;
The larkspur and buttercup, down by the
brooksidc,
Were saying good night to the rose.
The sun, who was sinking behind the green
hilltops,
Peeped out from cloud and winked his red
eye;
Methfnks he was whispering the bright clouds
around him
'Iam going to rest now, I'll say goodby."

The flowers had closed their sweet petals so

While over the mountain the crescent moon

Seemed TO answer the sun-"Good night,

How to Give Niter.

Sweet spirit of inter is one Of the most
popular domestic medicines. The dose
for an adult is from one-half to one
teaspoonful well diluted with water.
When using it in fevers it is best to give
small doses and repeat them often rather
than give large doses at long intervals.
One-haf a teaspoonful in tumblerful
of cold water, drunk little at time
through the night, will be more effective
in subduing fever and bringing on per-
spiration than whole teaspoonful taken
at once. Halls Journal of Health.
