The girls who go TO private schools are,
a. a rule, from families Of at least mod
crate wealth. Bat ia our fluctuating
country this is no proof that they will 20
through their lives without feeling the ne
cessity of doing something at some time
for their own support or the support Of
others. What that will be we cannot tell,
for the march of invention is so swift that
ii we should prepare the girl for any one
industry she might find herself unable TO
make a living out of it when the need
should come, She viii probably be- we
may say, IA wife and mother But if we
assume this, we still do not know how to
fit her for the duties Of those positions in
definite way.
The best thing still is to make tie most
Of IA woman we can out Of her, and then to
trust the disciplined woman we have fash
toned to answer for herself the demands TO
come to her in th,sluisty future, which She
will see and which she will indigo but
which we shall not see, and which no man
can forctcll.-Auna G. Brackett in Har-

Engineering tells that a new instrument
called the sch;Siophone has been invented,
the obicct'of which is to reveal the pres
ence and the place of any blow holes, flaws,
cracks or other defect, which may exist
in the interior OF IA piece of metal. When
these defects are very Grea', the blow of a
hammer on the piece of metal soon brtrays
their presence, but for small blow holes,
although these may also be very danger
GUS there is not enough difference in he
sound given by the hammer striking the
piece Of metal Tor it to be detected by the
ear The schisiophonc, however, will en-
able that difference to be heard. The APP
paratus consists mainly of Il pin which
runs through "a microphonc of IA special
construction and of an electric battery.
When the pin strikes on good part Of the
metal tried sound is produced, the vi
bratiCns of which affect the electric cur
rent in n certain way, and then certain
sound can be heard in the telephone at
tachcd to the instrument. When the pin
strikes on "A part Of the metal where there
is defect, the sound produced is different;
the microphune, the current and the telc-
phone are then affected differently, and
the defect existing in the metal is revealed
by the difference in the sound heard ut the
telephone.

WOMAN AND HOME.
'NCIDENTS IN TIE CjRLHOCO OF
JULIA WARD HOWE.

A True Wo,nuu--A Thoughtlcss Mothers
Mis,al,c--4 what tho Woman's ENchni~e
Has Done Cleaning Lace Curtains.
Household ,iotSs.
Once upon time, IN great house
standing at the corner Of Bond street and
Broadway, New York city, there lived
little girl. She WAS named Julia, after
her lovely young mother, but rs she grew
she showed NJ resemblance to that mother
with her great dark eyes and wealth OF
black rnrlcts. This little girl had red
hair. and that was a very dreadful thing
in those DAYS Very fine soft hair it was,
thick and wavy, butt was red. Wis
tors coming to see her mother would
shake their heads and say, Poor little
Julia! what pity she has red hair!' and
the tender mother would sigh and regret
that her child should have this msfor-
tune. when there was no red hair in the
family, so far as one knew. And the
beautiful hair was comhcd with a leaden
comb. as an old lady said that would turn
it dark. and il was soaked in honey water,
as another old lady said hat was really
the best thing YOU could do with it; and
the little Julia felt that she might almost
az well lie hunchback or a cripple rs that
unfortunate creature, red haired child.
When she was six years old her beauti-
rul mother died, and after that Julia and
YER brothers and sisters were brought up
vv their GOOD aunt, who came to make her
Rome with them and their father. A very
reed aunt she was, and devoted to the
mothcrless children, but sometimes she
did funny things. They went out to drive
pvcry day--tae children, | mean-in "a
treat yellow chariot lined with fine blue
cloth. Now il occurred to their kind aunt
hat it would have n charming effect ii the
children were dressed to match the
chariot So thought, so done! Dress
makers aad milliners piled their art, and
one day broadway was electrified by the
siA.ht of the little Misses Ward, seated in
uneasy state on the blue cushions clad in
wonderful raiment of yellow and blue.
They had blue pclisses and yellow satin
Acunets, and this was all very well for
he two younger ones, with their dark
cTes and hair, and their rosy checks, but
Julia, Young as she WAS, felt diply that
blue and yellow was not the combination
10 set Of her tHwny locks and exquisite
seashcll complexion.
1t Is uot probable, however, that she sor-
roWed deeply over the funny clothes, for
her mind was never set on clothes, either
in childhood OF in later life Did not her
sister meet her one day coming home from
school with one blue shoe and one green?
Her mind was full OF beautiful thoughts,
her eyes were lifted to the green trees and
the blue sky bending above them; what
hid she care about shoes? Yes and later,
is 1t not recorded that her sister had great
difficulty in persuading her TO choose the
stuff for her wedding gown, SO inditTer-
ent Was she to all matters Of dress?-laura

what 'hc Vouan's Exchange Has Done.
While the WumHn's exchange is open to
serious criticism from u business point OF
view it has accomplished much and has
in it still ;rcnter possibilities. II has set
4 high standard for work and insisted that
ihi, standard shall he reached 10y every
ron,igner MT only once or generally, bus
Invariably. 1t has maintained this stand.
nd in the face Of hostile criticism and the
feeling that Il charitable organization ought
to accept poor work if th0+" presenting il
are in need of money It has shown that
success in work cannot be attained by II
simple desire for it or need of it pccuuia-
rily.
1t has taught that accuracy, scientific
knowledge, artistic training, habits of OBJ
servation, good Judgment, courage and
perseverance, are better stats in reaching
success than reliance upon haphGIurd
methods and the compliments Of Gathering
friends. 1t has raised the standard Of dec
orative and artistic needlework by incor-
porating into its rules refusal to accept
calico patchwork, wax, leather, hair,
feather, rice, spattcr, splinter and card
board work 1t has taught many women
that model receipt for cake is not "a few
eggs little milk. IA lump of butter. a
pinch Of salt, swcctcning to taste, flour
enough to thcllen; give II good beating
and bake according to Judgment.
More than all this, it has pointed ont to
women a means of support that can be cur
ried on within their own homes, and is per.
lecrly compatible with other work neces-
sarily perforYed there. it has in effect
opened mp new occupation to women, in
that it has taught them that their accom-
plishments may become of pecuniary
value, and a talent for the more prosaic do
nestle duties turned into fine art and
made remuncrative.-Lucy NJ Salmon in

Women have been ridiculcd by men on
account of the absurd little bonnets they
wear and the gentle creatures have pa
ticntly endured the criticism because they
knew the bonncts were becoming. But
now it appears that the wealth Of lovely
hair which the cruWnl"Ns bonnet reveals is
really the result in many cases of the very
liGhtncsS and incfiicirncy Of protection the
Tiny covering provides. Air and sunshine
are really the best promoters Of growth

men would wear crowuless or perforated

The hue of healthi Who can mistake it..
The white brow, the deepened tint of the
cheek, these associated with brightness and
animation of the eye, CHEEKY expression of
the countenanee. are infallible indicia that
the liver is performing its function actively,
bowels are undisturbed. If, however, the
complexion and eyeballs have a saffron
tint, or the face is drawn and void of spright-
illness and animation, the hillary gland is
almost certain to be out o I order. Rectify
the difficulty speedily, thoroughly, with the
paramount antibilious specific, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which promptly remedies
not only the above outward and visible signs
of biliousness, but also the sick headaches,
constipation, vertigo, fur upon the tongue,
nausea, sour breath and pains through the
right side seriously involved in malaria, for
which the Bitters is a sovereign specific. This
medicine remedies with equal promptitude
and completeness, kidney complaint, dys-
pepsia, rheumatism and nervousness.
