A PHonhRcN.

A Pittaburg STUDENT while reading
the book of the Vision Of Nahum, the
Eikashlte, came across a passage that
seemed to him to be prophecy of the
discovery of the use of electricity as a
motive power in the electric railways of
the present day. The passage is from
Nahum ii, A, and reads as follows: 1.-The
chariots shall rage in the streets, they
shall jostle one against another in the
broadways: they shall seem like torchtS:
they shall run like the ightnings. =

Those Life Preservers.

81 often have a strong DESIRE" said a
ferryboat traveller, ito pick up one of
those life preservers under the seats and
hold it up by one of the strings, just to
see if it wouldn't fall to pieces from its
own weight. They look rotten, and
believe they are rotten. They never
seem to- change positions. The dust is
always an inch thick on them, and so /
assume that they are never examined.
Fancy the despair of a man who seized
one of them to assist him in saving his
life, and when he tried to tie the straps
around him found them falling apart

Calls or Cards.

The question of whether cards should De
left personally or sent by messenger as an
acknowledgment of social civilities is al
ways coming up in Washington. Each
year the demand upon the official families
in che direction of calling is upon the in
crease. Some of the wives of the highest
officials seek every low and then to relieve
themselves from <he burden of paying
calls in person. It was only the other day
that the wife of one of the most prominent
men in the United States, who has at least
nearly a Thousand calls week to check off
in her book, took occasion to relieve her
self by sending some of the cards about by
special messenger.
She was unfortunate enough to send one
of these signs of her regard to the widow
of a well known officer who had given a
dinner to the lady in question and had her
self been invited to dine at the officials
house. When she received these cards by
messenger she became indignant and die
tated a note to the offender. She did not
condescend to write this note herself. The
hateful cards were inclosed; the note said
that they had probably been left by mis-
take, but il not the writer of the note de-
manded an apology. Up to the present
time no apology has been made, and as a
necessary consequence two prominent
women in Washington life now refuse to
speak to each other.-Cor. New York Trib-

Royal White Mourning.

The white mourning of the youthful
queen of the Netherlands is revival OF an
old custom. Some ancient orders OF nuns.
corresponding to the Passionist one for
men, used to dress in white. They might
be said to be Good Friday orders, they par
ticularly devoting themselves to commem-
crate the event for the keeping in mind OF
which the fast day was institnted-dylng
with Christ daily. The ladies of Port
ROYAL also decided when their monastery
was reformed to wear white robes only.
Mary of England was the last French queen
who wore white mourning. She was known
as La Refine Blanche, perhaps by old people,
to distinguish her from Catherine de Med
lei, who was the first regal widow to dress
in black. She borrowed her sable weeds
from Italy, which far back in antiquity
took black mourning from the Eleuslnlan
mysteries.
Ceres in search of Proserpine was in
black to signify the winter season, when
nature is most colorless. Catherine dc
Medici's widows cap was black. The
white widows cap is now the only sur
vival of the ancient white mourning.
Mary Stuart followed her mother-in-law
in wearing black after the death OF her
first husband. White is more suitable for
the winter wear of delicate child in the
harsh Dutch climate than black, which IS
cold In winter, hot in summer, and only ad-
vantageous IN hiding coal smut and IN
seemingly reducing the bulk OF stout hg-
ures.-London Truth.

Introducing the Hoop Skirt.

1t was during the reign of Queen Anne,
while the war of the Spanish succession
was at full tilt, that the hoop skirt was first
Struggled into England from France.
The French women had been lolling about
in hoop skirts for some time, and so warm
was the climate that they were the most
cooling garment that could be worn. The
climate of England is somewhat cooler
than that of France. The French girls
knew that their English cousins would
hug themselves with delight If they could
get the latest thing from France. They
knew also that rheumatism would get in
its deadly work and that the grip would
stalk through the land.
So they sent that hoop skirt-it was
seven feet in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to Eng
land and allowed it to be seized. 1t was
put on by the English girls, and soon be-
came the rage. At first a few colds were
caught, and then that marvellous garment,
the pantalette, was invented, which not
only protected Britain's daughters from
the frolicsome zephyrs, but actually had a
tendency to increase the size of the skirt,
so that il grew 20 be nine feet in circum-
ference. And the fashion continued long
after the French danes had gotten tired of
it.-Cloak and Suit Review.

A Girls Life in a Big City.

/ received letter the other day in which
the writer said: 81 want to come to the
city and earn my living. What chance
have II" And felt like posting back an
immediate answer and saying, "Stay where
you are" didn't do it, though, for | knew
it would be useless. The child is bound to
come, and come she will. And she will
drift into a third rate Chicago boarding
house, than which if there is anything
meaner-let us prayl And If she is pretty
she will have to carry herself like snow on
high hills to avoid contamination. If she
is confiding and innocent the fate of that
highly prosecuted heroine of old fashioned
romance, Clarissa Harlowe, is before her.
If she is homely the doors of opportunity
are firmly closed against her. If she is
smart she will perhaps succeed in earning
enough money to pay her board bill and
have sufficient left over to indulge in the
maddening extravaganza of an occasional
paper of pins or ball of tape!
What if after hard labor and repeated
failure she does secure something like sue
cess? No sooner will she do so than up
will step some dapper youth who will
becEon her over the border into the land
where troubles just begin. She won't
know how to sew or bake or make good
coffee, for such arts are liable to be over
looked when girl makes a career for her
self, and so love will gallop away over the
hills like riderless steed, and happiness
will flare like a light in windy night
Oh, no, my little country maidl Stay
where you are if You have home and
friends. BE content with fishing for trout
in the brook rather than cruising a stormy
sea for whales. A great city is a cruel
place for young lives.-Amber in Chicago

Testing Rread.

Bread soaked in an alcoholic solution of
logwood will at once turn blue if there is
alum present. Another very simple way
of testing alum is TO thrust a hot knife
blade into loaf that is one day old. II
alum is present it will adhere in small
particles TO the blade AS to the goodness
Of bread properly made with baking pow
ders possessing the maximum of leavening
power the following experiment will be
found interesting and also very reliable;
Take a good loaf of bread with sus-
pected one; cut from the two pieces of
equal size; put them in saucers containing
the same quantity of water. The best
bread will invariably absorb the most
water. This is more of a test for alum
than anything, as alum hardens the gluten
of wheat and renders it less soluble

This Is woman,s Irving Time.

The transition state we are in is trying
beyond compare to women, and men are
too often hasty and unjust in their con-
domination of women who are seeking foot
holds in the industrial world. Those who
know the history of the sex realize that
there has been gross injustice done women,
and that they are more TO blame for it than
any one else. 1t is always harder to re-
trieve lost position than TO fight in it, but
the dire necessity of women makes them
strong, and twenty years hence we will
note vast improvement in their condition.
Before the coming century reaches us
women will have retaken some Of the lost
ground; physically, they are rapidly i'm
proving and gaining the strength they had
as workers. The woman question settles
itself as soon as pecuniary independence IS
regained. for with it is allied bodily health,
mental vigor and moral stamina All that
the sex ask is to be reinvested with their
former privileges, and TO De enthroned As
the head of the home, as an equal worker
and partaker Of the blessings that come 20

Household Ignorance.

The popular ignorance concerning the
management of stoves, furnaces, gas me-
tiers, locks, faucets, sinks and basins and
various mechanical contrivances of modern
domestic life is appalling. Plumbers make
fortunes outof the stopping up of drains
which could be kept clear with very little
intelligence. Houses are kept unhealthy
by the spread of coal gas or kept chilly for
want of neat, all because no one in the
household has the intelligence to manage
the furnace. 1t takes considerable gump-
ton to manage an ordinary kitchen range,
and no one can do it without knowledge as
to the use of hampers.
The average servant is absolutely and
hopelessly incapable of doing this proper
ly without careful instruction and drill.
The only way in this case is for the head
of the house to find out the right way and
impart the information to the servant.
Often kitchen range is condemned and
torn out when, in fact, all that is needed
is to know how to work it. This informa-
ton the sellers of the range will be only
too glad to impart.-New York Sun.

WOMAN AND HOME.
MOTHERHOOD IS THE TRUE PARA
Disc OF THE FEMALE LIFE.

Girls Life in a Big City-Introducing
the Hoop skirt-This Is woman's Try
ing Time-A Travelling Outfit-RoyaI
White Mourning.
Nineteen times out of twenty have re-
marked that the true paradise of female
life in all ranks not too elevated for con-
slant intercourse with the children Is by
no means the years Of courtship nor the
earliest period of marriage, but that Sc
uuestered chamber of her experience in
which mother is left alone through the
day, with servants perhaps, in distant
part of the house, and God be thankedD
chiefly where there are no servants at all,
in which she is attended by one sole COM
panion, her little first born angel, as yet
clinging to her robe, imperfectly able to
walk, still more imperfect in its prattling
and innocent thoughts, clinging to her,
haunting her wherever she goes as her
shadow, catching from her eye the total
inspiration of its little palpitating heart,
and sending to hers thrill of secret pleas
ure so often as its little fingers fasten on
her own.
Left alone from morning to night with
this one companion, or even with three,
still wearing the graces of infancy-buds
of various stages upon the self same tree
a woman, if she has the great blessing of
approaching such luxury of paradise. is
moving, too often not aware that she is
moving, through the divinest section of
her life AS evening sets in, the husband,
through all walks of life, from the highest
professional down to that of common
labor, returns home to vary her modes of
conversation by such thoughts and inter
ests as are more consonant with his more
extensive capacities of intellect.
But by that time her child Tor her chill
dren) will be reposing on the little couch,
and in the morning, duly as the sun as
cends in power, she sees before her long,
long day of perfect pleasure in this society
which evening will bring to her, but which
is interviewer with every fiber of her sensi-
bilities. This condition of noiseless, quiet
love is that, above all, which God blesses
and smiles upon.-Thomas De Quincy.
