be the first among men she will be prouder,

Must Read tne rapers.

No one knows as we'll as the woman of
the day how much she herself depends
upon the newspapers and magazines for
the charm and brilliancy that seem to be
all her own. She must read the papers,
and she knows it. And the more she reads
the better it will be for her Whether in
the crowded horse car, or seated upon her
luxurious couch in her own dainty bou
doir, she seeks and eagerly scans the latest
and best that is in print, for well she
knows that she must add charm of mind
to beautiful face and stylish dress, or the
very ones whom she would give her life
and soul to please will turn from her with
a yawn.-New York World.

which was the birthplace of Pennington,
of air-ship notoriety, is discussing sec
ond wonder Rev. Mr.. Kinney, az eccen-
trio old gentleman, who has lived there at
times for several years, has completed a
perpetual calendar. Mr.. Kinney first
took up the matter when he was studying
bible history at Shelbyville. Ala. His
ideas came unbidden, and the calendar
produced itself while he was studying
other subjects. 1t is remarkably perfect.
At glance the day of the week can be
found on which must fall any given date
from the year to the end of time. 1t en-
braces old style, new style and.the colonial.
Comparison shows Mr.. Kinney's calendar
simpler than that of Secretary Bayard.

Education of Society Girls.

Somebody commented recently on the
fact that in the education of society girls
the college system cannot be included.
Vassar, Barnard Annex and similar institu-
tions where education is taken seriously do
not number many exclusively fashionable
names in their list of students As O
young tailor made" girl expressed it not
long ago with charming frankness: "No,
we do not go to college very much; why
should we? What is the good of wearing
ourselves out over things that we will, in
all probability, never use? Besides" she
continued audaciously. "a college educa-
tion is not symmetrical; it is all founda-
tion. Now I was educated at home by the
system of French nurse, nursery governess,
governess, visiting masters and year in
Europe, and the result is equilibrium-a
foundation not too massive for the super
structure and superstructure not too
heavy for its base"
Perhaps this airy reasoning is right It
certainly is not necessary to understand
Greek roots to dance divinely at Patri-
arch ball, and one may study the stars

late the orbit of planet or has never

Cream for 1nyaIidS

The fact is not so well known as it de-
serves to be that cream constitutes an adj
mirable nutriment for invalids. IL is SUI
perior TO butter, containing more volatile
oils. Persons predisposed TO consumption,
aged persons, or those inclined to cold ex-
tremities and feeble digestion, are especial
ly benefited by a liberal use of sweet
cream. 1t is far better than cod liver oil.
and besides being excellent for medical
properties it is highly nutritious food

Thrush in Babes.

Thrush il caused directly by vegetable
parasites, the germs of which float in the
air; but these germs find the conditions of
their development and growth only where
the vitality has already been lowered.
Hence, the chief prevalence of the disease
is among the children of the poor, whose
surroundings are bad and whose food is
insufficientiy nourishing; but all children
of unhealthy mothers are liable to it. So
are delicate young women whose blood is
deficient in red corpuscles.
An acid condition of the system is favor
able to the development of the disease
For this reason infants are peculiarly ex-
posed to it, since the secretions of their
mouths are acid, instead of alkaline, dur
ing the early weeks Of their lives.
The disease is contagious, as has been
proved by inoculating healthy children
with the white exudation. Children,
therefore, should be guarded from ex-
posure to it. The danger of exposure is
increased by the fact that the treatment of
the disease requires the mouth to be washed
cut at every meal.-Youth's Companion.

WOMAN AND HOME.
THE REMINDING OF ENTHUSIASTS
OF EARLIER YEARS.

Education of Society Giris-Colored Pet
Baby-Three Remarkable Women-hust
Read the Papers-Cream for Lnvalids.
There comes often to the experience of
women an after glow of enthusiasm to
light the western skies of the years before
the darkness comes on. 1t may be re-
kindling of those fires that once burned
brightly, that through the stress of cir
cumstance and condition and the pressure
of the world have been smothered. En-
thusiasm Is not altogether a dependent
quality, for some natures seem born to
glow: yet it must take its form from the
individuality in which it exists, when,
after the passage of years, 1t is rekindled,
to light up before the world characteristics
that are far removed from those that the
enthusiasms of early years promised.
There are women who at the start made
plans for life work in the interest of hu-
manity, who seemed to enter heart and
mind into the purpose of sacrificing them
selves for their kind, but in some fatai
hour they allowed themselves TO enter q
current of selfshness, and were swept On
and on past the possibility of following
their noble headings.
When at last the years had sped, and
they felt the pressure of the fact of the
gradual loss of mental and physical force,
there came to them the memory of those
earlier years when the fires burned within
them, and longing for the old sensation of
life took possession of them, and from the
ashes of the past they raked the Goals
for a new enthusiasm, not recognizing
the fact that selfshness had bent the
early purpose to its uses, not indeed con-
scious that there had been decided
change within them. But the enthusi-
asm became the greed Of miser, and
all the after glow lighted was the estab-
lished habit of acquisitiveness for personal
ends.
Perhaps it is oftenest the case that the
rekindling is attempted at old religious al
tars, but the power of contact with the liv-
ing Goals is lost, and no real glow enters
the soul. 1t is a CHASTITY spectacle this, of
a shriveled nature revealed through the
last CLEANS from dying enthusiasm.
If we could have the truth imbedded in
our consciousness that this after glow will
not be renewal, but only revelation of
the workings of good or evil through the
years, we might be more careful of the
central fires Mary r. Baldwin in Har-
per's Bazaar.

Fat Is Essential.

The province of fat in the vital economy
seems to be most important, and serious
ailments are frequently modified by its ap-
plication; for instance, any poverty of the
blood resulting in malnutrition can be
overcome by the use of the fat of meat,
butter, salad oil and oil baths Oil baths
and massage, with oil or cocoa butter, have
proved an efficacious remedy in cases of
