Evolution of the Handkerchief.

The authorities are neither clear nor in
harmony as regards the history of the
handkerchief known popularity in English
as the pocket handkerchief. The etymolo-
gy of the name is, nevertheless, sufficient
ly clear. The last syllable comes from the
old French chief, meaning head, the sylla-
BILE "ker" is from the French couveir. to
cover, while the prefixes "hand" and
pocket" were applied when the article
began to change its medieval use of head
covering and became the aid to neatness
and decency which it is at present.
The old French name couvre-chef, or
chief, came over to England, with host of
other French words, after the conquest,
and in time became 'gerchief," which is
long since obsolete in America, though it
may. perhaps. be still! heard in parts of
England. For long ages after the Cru
sades even women of rank wore the ker-
chief, which, after many changes, became
the modern hat or bonnet But exactly at
what period it began to be carried in the
hand or in the exterior pocket or handbag
is uncertain.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Quick Decision.

It is good to cultivate habit of swift de-
cision about trifies. Into the life Of each
one of Us multitude Of small affairs come
daily to be settled, and too long copsidera-
ton ofany one of them is not only a waste
Of time, but encourages vacillation in
compatible with true strength of charac-
ter. An irresolute man-one who does not
know his own minds unpleasant to con-
template, uncomfortable to live with, and
his infrmity of purpose apparently makes
him most unhappy individual to himself.
We can give our children no better prep
aration for the serious duties Of life than a
practice Of quick determination in little
things Even should the child decide
wrongly at first, forcing him to abide by
his choice will do much toward making
him wiser on the next occasion.-House-

Just at the beginning of the historic
Bowery stands the big brown building de-
dictated to science and art by Peter Cooper,
who has monument in the heart of every
New Yorker, if no visible one in the city of
his benefactions. During the lifetime of
that good old man, there was no drawing
from the nude done at Cooper Institute: he
had very Ineligible, old fashioned preju-
dice against it. Now, however, it has
fallen into line with the others and possess
ses that browning glory of every art school,
life class.
Unlike the League or the Academy,
Cooper is for women only, and the instruc-
ton is free to all intending to make a pro-
fession of art. Besides the usual studies it
has classes in retouching photographs, era
yon portraits, wood engraving, remunera-
tive if not artistic employments, and the
normal class in which young women are
trained for teachers. This course only oc-
cupies year. To appreciate the results
that may be obtained in that short time
one must see the fine work entered in COM
petition for the prizes offered in this class,
such as designs for silk, for stained glass,
for wall paper. etc.
There is little discipline, little regularity
about art schools. Cooper alone has a
slight flavor of those qualities usually in
separable from the idea of school. I do
not know whether to say because of this
fact or in spite Of it Cooper is perhaps the
pleasantest place for young girl to pursue
her studies. At the other schools no care
is exercised over the students in other than
school hours, and not much then. No re-
munerative employment is furnished nor
advice given as to board or residence The
students come and go as they please-no
one takes any account of them. If they
come, the gain is theirs; if they stay away.
it is their own loss. 1t is taken for granted
that having chosen their career they will
seize every opportunity for progress in it.

WOMAN AND HOME.
A RUSlNESSLlkE WOMAN AND HER
VARIOUS ENTERPRISES.

New FORKS Free Art School-The Woman
| whs Pleases-Teaching Repose of Man.
ner-Train the Babe-what an Ameri-
can Girl Needs-Quick Decision.
| A woman of business, woman who can
run things" like man, is rare in the
| world. Once in a while such a woman
comes to the front and she is regarded as a
curiosity.
| I had talk with one of these fascinating
| curiosities. Her name is Mrs. Loretta J..
Beard. In word, she is at the head of a
| variety of schemes. She is promoter, and
apparently an interchangeable one.
At first Mrs. Beard was disinclined to
saw ANYTHING about herself personally,
fearing that she would be written up" in
the style of some gushing journals. When
she got started in her plans, however, I
saw that she could talk for year and Q
day on her plans.
She was born in Cuba, ferty-six years
ago. The name Of her father, who was a
Spaniard, was Joaquin Velasquez- Her
mother was French woman. Mrs Beard
is typical, go ahead western woman, not
only in manner but in dress. She has two
accents, one the normal western, the other,
when excited, the Spanish. She has firm
mouth, pale face and remarkably keen
eyes.
She has been over the greater part Of the
world; has wandered over considerable
portion of South America, with whose re-
sources she says she is particularly well &C
euainted, and has done some literary work
for various periodicals, home and foreign.
Her husband, Colonel" w. Beard, is an
Englishman, many years in this country,
so she told me, who has seen some service
on the Indian frontier, but was never a
soldier.
According to the letters she showed me
Mrs Beard has had an extensive acquaint-
ance with public men, to whom she was
known as Mrs. j. Velasquez. Some of
these letters were from Senator Black
burn, of Kentucky; w. p. Hill, of Ohio;
the late Senator and ex-Judge L. @. Lamar.
Senator Gordon, Senator Blair and several
congressman and foreign officials. They
all appeared to be in answer to some re-
quest, and some were commendatory of
her business ability.
She told me she had given 1925, 900 for
mines in South America, and that she was
the pOssessor of silver mines in Arizona.
Mrs. Beard has large number of ''conces-
sions" from Mexico and Honduras. One
Is for a canal, another for a railway, an
other for steamship company and so on.
One of her special enterprises is mining
investment and trading company incor-
porated in West Virginia.-New York Her

Trgi. the RehA.

"How shall teach my baby obedience'"
and, How soon must begin'" are two
questions that frequently agitate the young
mother, and by the very wording of the lat
ter question-substitution of must for
''shaH'-is betrayed the dread with which
the task is anticipated, the reluctance with
which it is undertaken.
To tell the young mother that the train
ing of her child should begin with its birth
is to tell her something which she simply
does not believe. Nevertheless II Is true,
and in the first three weeks Of its life the
child learns 70 know by instinct as to who
is master of the occasion. Say what you
will, infants possess q reasoning power
that is utterly incomprehensible, and
while they do not say to Themselves in so
many words, IF scream right loud they'll
give me what l want" the result is pre-
ciseiy the same, and shortly the willy In
FAINT has wriggled and screamed himself
into the veriest tyrant.-Home Magazine.

GOOD RESOLVES.

Like star to the storm tossed sailor
When the tempest howls in wrath.
Or the wanderer in the forest wild
To guide him in his path,
The good resolves that we have made
In the years that have gone before,
1 Seem to awaken and start to life
To help Us In trials hour.
( And the darker the night upon US
The brighter they shine before,
Till with the courage they give US
We journey ahead once more,
More fully determined to conquer,
With Duty and Faith by our side.
With Providence TO help US on,
And conscience for our guide.

Times.
A Common Disease.

Thrush, so familiar to many mothers, is
an inhammatory disease of the mouth,
caused by a microscopic vegetable parasite
which has been discovered and described
only within the last fifty years. The dis
ease Is characterized by white oxidation
from minute spots of infamed mucous
membrane on the tongue, mouth and lips.
The spots are often so abundant that they
unite and form curd like patches, which
sometimes cover the entire mouth in front
of the palate, and resemble diphtheretic
membrane
The affected parts ara hot and tender;
the stomach and bowels are disturbed, and
there is more or less fever. In rare cases
the thrush extends from the mouth down
to the stomach, and in still rarer cases to
the bowels.
The disease occurs mostly in infants and
in the aged. In the aged it is difficult to
cure. 1t also occurs as secondary to acute
and chronic diseases, in which case, espe-
cially in the latter, it often proves fatal.
Thrush may be SO mild as to require only
the local application every few hours of a
little powdered borax mixed with an equal
amount of sugar, and careful regulation
of the diet, preceded by a mild dose to re-
move any irritating matter.
The food of the mother, besides being
nourishing and abundant, should be aka
line instead of acid in its tendency. If the
child is brought up by hand lime water
should be added to the milk in the proper
ton Of one to three
In most cases it is wisest to call the
family physician.-Youth's Companion.
