TALMAGE's BUSY WIFE.
A Gllm pse Of tho Great Preachers Busi
ness Manager.

4 Glimpse Of tho Great Preachers Busi-
ness Manager.
Mrs. Ialmsge Ia distinctly her husband's
right hand, and all the details Of his busy
life are looked after by her. says Edward
W. Box in The Ladies' Home Journal. She
is n business women, having . rare execu-
tive ability, capable Of easily handling a
number of things at the same time. Much
of DIR. Talmaec's daily work is planned and
laid out by her. She makes his pastoral
ing interests are in her hand. She
knows his capacities even better than
he. Whenever q journey il to be made,
it is she who lays out the route, procurea
the tic kets and staterooms, and attends TO
MI details. No public man, perhaps, il
mage by his wife's foresight and ability.
The rear apartment OF the second floor IN
Mrs. Talmage's working room. 1t is tnste-
fully furnished, but more with nh eye to
utility than ornamentation. In this room
Mrs. Talmage spends most of her time. 1t
is "her private den." All the mail TINT is
left at the house for DR.. Talmage is taken
into this room and is opened by her.
It is not an unusual thing for the postman
to deliver between one and two hundred
letters a day,a MI of which pass through Mrs.
Talmage's hands. Business letters are an
6Wereu Dy her, ana all letters that may be
of nm unpleasant nature are destroyed. DR..
Ialmage never sees them.
A day in Mrs. Talmage's home would be
a revelation to those who believe that the
life of a public mans wife is a succession
of pleasures, dotted here with a pretty COM
pliment and there with some token of
honor. While many people are yawning
and preparing to break their nights rest,
Mrs. Talmage is already up, opening
the first mail. Breakfasts is promptly
at eight o'clock. Then the family
separate and the wife begins to receive call
ers-which alone il n task. 1t is IL we'll
known saying among the neighbors that
''the Talmage bell is never STILL" All
kinds of people must be seen, innumerable
appointments made and kept, the pastoral
work of the largest church in America
must be looked after, the details of a score or
more missionary, church and literary aocie-
ties with which Mrs. Talmage. Or her hus-
band lis connected, have their demands,
and, in addition to all these are the house
hold cares of a large house and a family
of growing children. All the appoint
ments of the Talmage home in Brooklyn
reflect the woman who presides over it.
Gaudiness in furniture or decorations is
absent, and, instead, one sees a harmony
of good taste on every hand. Mrs. Tai,
mage is an excellent housekeeper, and her
home shows it.

How to Teach Children.

Children who are brought up in re-
fined home where there is no attempt to
make things seem other than they are
where it is frankly admitted that there
are some things their parents would like
which they cannot have because they
cannot afford them, but which they can
cheerfully do without because they have
so many other blessings. Children who
early learn to be pleased with simple
pleasures; who are taught that their
claim to the respect of others must rest
on their own merits and not on any acct
dental surroundings, have learned the
lesson of contentment that will make
their lives better and happier than any
fortune could without it. The high sense
of honor that scorns mean act, the
steadfast adherence to duty that would
rather suffer wrong than do wrong, the
truthfulness that spurns deceit, the ten
derness and forbearance and courtesy
that strength should show to weakness
if a mother can give these to her girls
and boys she need not regret that she
has not been able to give them all the
luxuries she craved for them.-Elizabeth
Robinson Scovil.

Sweet Home.

1t is said when darkness settles over
the Adriatic sea, and fishermen are far
from land, their wives and daughters,
just before putting out their lights in
their humble cottages, go down by the
shore and in their clear, sweet voices
sing the first lines of the Ave Maria
Then they listen eagerly, and across the
sea are borne to them the deep tones of
those they love, singing the strains that
follow, and thus each knows that all is
well. | often think that from the home
life of the nation. from its mothers and
sisters, daughters and sweethearts, there
sound through the darkness of this transit
ton age the tender notes of dearer
song, whose burden is being taken up
and echoed back to us from those far out
amid the pillows of temptation, and its
sacred words are " Home, sweet Home, -
God grant that deeper and more strong
may grow that heavenly chorus from
mems and women's lips and lives! =
Frances E. Willard.

WOman's Domain.

The great element of danger with
woman's progress before the public, lies
in this fact that it takes women away
from home who ought to be there and
nowhere else. The public platform is no
place for mother who has either sons
or daughters to educate. If woman's
progress is going to tend in that direc-
ton, then the sooner that advancement
stops the better. The first thought of
wife or mother should be her home all
things, no matter how important, are
secondary to that. No matter how ram
pant may become certain public evils,
let her see to it that she keeps the evils
out of her home, and she performs her
greatest duty to her God, her family,
and mankind. When woman tries to
remedy an evil by striding the lecture
platform, warning others, when that very
evil is invading her home by her absence,
she is installing her mission in life, and
she cannot realize it too soon. The good
that woman can do towards the great
world-at-large is as nothing compared to
her possibilities in her own home, if she
be wife or mother.-Ladies' Home Jour
nal

Fashion Notes.

Pin-striped mohairs-brown, gray. law
ender, or old-rose-are used by the mod
istes for spring and summer travelling
dresses.
Embroidered white muslins with pink
or blue flowers forming borders are made
in youthful-looking princesse dresses,
hooked behind, the border forming a
yoke and edging the skirt.
The beauty of dimity dresses lies in
their freshness, hence they should be so
simply made that they can be easily
Numbered. In the first place, the dimity
should be thoroughly shrunken before
the dress is cut; il should be Invested of
every particle of starch, and none should
ever be added thereto.
A pretty skirt for striped ginghams
has two breadths sloped in front from
the knee to the belt, making the stripes
meet in upturned points in the middle
seam; the selvages below slope away to
the foot, disclosing an inverted V of al
ternate rows of embroidery and ribbon
the color of the stripes.
The cloak first worn by baby is its
longest garment, measuring 80 or 40
inches, that it may cover all the clothing
beneath. A round waist with gathered
skirt, large sleeves, and a deep cape-like
collar falling over the tops of the sleeve,
is the favorite cloak. They are most
often made of white cashmere embroid-
cred with silk.

COURTEslES OF LIFE.

Sensible People Keep a Stock OF Civiiity
with Them.
from Boston Heraldl
Civility is very desirable trait Oh
character, and sensible people shouid
make point of keeping it on hand. CIV
ility is one of the Christian graces; 1t is
obligatory upon lady or a gentleman,
and it is excellent stock in trade Tor
those who wish to get on In the word.
We mean civility, not servllity. 10
cringe and fawn and tlatter is desplca-
BILE. DESTINATIONS politeness,. with pro-
fusion of bows and fine speeches, may De
burdensome; but kind word OF greet.
ing, polite attention, a little act OF
courtesy is quite another thing, says the
New York Ledger. There are people
who, having a great deal OF that prioe
which gives one the assurance OF pelhg
ssiust as good as anybody else, il not
little BETTER" fancy that to care nothing
for what others feel, to take the best ana
be the foremost by dint of pushing, ana
never on any account to allow announcer
precedence, is to assert themselves pro-
perly. This is a great mistake; such con.
duct, instead of being an evidence OF
true independence of character, is marx
of ignorance and vulgarity. In England,
and some parts of continental Europe,
vulgar people are rude to those beneath
them and servile to those above them. In
this free country, where there is no THU
lar rank, the ignorant and ill-mannered
are sometimes rude to richer or more
fashionable people, in order to show
their independence. This is less ignoble
than the European fashion, but 1t Is
more detrimental to those who are guilty
of it. In business, it is very poor policy,
indeed. 1t is an old adage that ''man-
have good deal to do with the making
of successful man.

I'll will always be disagreeable COM
pany. Even the untidy are quick
4 to notice neatness in others and
praise it. So neatness is sort of neces-
sity if one would have friends. Dress is
a good index of character. Personal
cleanliness is conducive to pure mind
and good morals. 1t is duty every
woman owes to herself to dress Just as
well as she can. Not extensively, for
silly people take the most pains to adorn
themselves. There is no one but what
can "wash and be Clean" and dress neat
ly. If the lace is soiled better leave it
off. Don't imagine that there is the least
ornament in lace encircled neck unless
the lace is fresh. If you think you have
work enough to do to excuse any untidy
appearance, you may be sure there will
be very few ready to excuse it. Itreally
takes but little time to have things neat.
Did you ever notice how quickly piece
of calico will dry? If the aprons are
wearing out and the only whole one is
doing service it is better to wash it every
half day than to exhibit the wretchedly
soiled apron with the usual excuse. A
rip in the dress or gloves, if neglected,
will be sure to bring the wearer to notice
as careless person when few moments
stitching would have scanned the rent and
saved you from criticism. What is done
is all people have to Judge by; they can
not see good intentions.

Value of a Garden.

What daughter ever forgets the home
where she has cultivated her little gar
den, and year after year been so happy
in the blossoms which have been borne
upon the plants she has watered and
tended with such patient care? Parents,
brothers, sisters, the dear old home, all
come back to her, though years may
have passed away, in the scent or bloom
of every flower. The family is seldom
unhappy whose dwelling is surrounded
with shady trees. and whose garden is
gay with cultivated flowers.-Anony-

LITTLE LIZETTE.

AS little Lizette was out walking one day,
Attired with great splendor in testal array,
She met little Gretchen, in sober-hued gown,
With basket of eggs trudging OFF to the town.
"Good morning! Good morning" cried little
Lizette,
80 You haven't been over to visit me yet
Come over and live with me always; pray do,
For have no sisters; how many have you?"
"Nein," answered wee Gretchen. Lizette cried,
"Ah mel
have to pretend have sisters, you see.
But try as will, can't make it seem true.
And have no brothers. How many have you?"
"Nein," answered wee Gretchen. "Nine!'
echoed Lizette,
"Why, you are the luckiest girl have met!
Aud have you baby at home, tell me now?"
"Nein," answered wee Gretchen, and made a
droll bow.
Then fingered Lizette by the roadside that day.
To watch the wee maiden go trudging away.
Nine brothers, nine sisters, nine babies to pet
Oh, wish was Gretchen !" sighed little Lizette.
