that children can do, If the mothers
haven't much time. Anything strong
enough to wind will do and even short
pieces may be used if the knots are neatly
tied-a "weaver's knot" is best. Then,
when a number of large balls have &C
cumulated, wind them together, about
four threaded. There is chance for the
exercise of taste in this particular. A
thread each of black, white and red-three
colors ore will be most likely to have-and
one of hit-or -miss-odds and ends wound
together-will make a pretty rug. If one
thread is cotton throughout, the work
will be all the more durable.
Having prepared the yarn one is ready
to make the rug, which is crocheted slip

and in round or oblong shape, as may be
preferred | like the oblong style. 1t is
shaped by crocheting chain three-fourths

of the stitch each time. Widen at the cor
ners and center of each end by making an
extra stitch in one loop each time around.

pretty, easily made and costs nothing but
an occasional leisure hour.-Agnes Rosen-

Where Some Mothers Fail.

Much IS said about the depth of a moth
er's love, and unswerving devotion is
claimed to be never failing trait; but
there are many women who, while to all
appearances affectionate and devoted to
their children, are very much lacking when
put to the test. The highest standard of
many in training their children is the man
ner in which their mothers trained them.
This is against reason, and in many cases
has baneful results upon their children.
The better plan is to study each child's in
dividual character and needs and to train
him accordingly. No mother should neg
lect to read much of the pure and wise lit
erature. Some children are easily led in
the right way, yet many of these, through
a mothers neglect, are the first to fall
when temptations beset them.
Many mothers, when their children ar
rive at years of discretion, say to them
selves: II have taught them right from
wrong; they are old enough to look after
themselves; if they are foolish or weak
enough to fall into sin, / cannot help it; l
have done my duty by them; they can now
run in their own course. 1t has been very
tiresome, but now | can rest" Many Of
them do rest. Some are too fainthearted
to utter even a protest after child grows
into adult age to deter him from foolish or
wrong conduct. Gently, but unremitting-
ly, do your utmost for your child's good
even though your soul sinks with hope de-
ferred. Some day your child may recog-
nize what his sorrowful mother has done
for him, and it may lead him to better
thingS.-Housekeepe

EAST INDIAN sILveR VIEWS

IoNDoN, March 29.-Mr Cottreu TupD
formerly accountant general OF the Indian
government, delivered a lecture last even
ing In the Westminster town hall on the
subject OF the influence OF the fall in the
value OF silver upon the commerce and
finances et India There WAS very large
audience, including many Anglo Indian
financlers. General Davis presided. Nr
Tupp SAID that the rise in the value Of sill
yer since 1872 had been due to the hone
that America would adopt the principle OF
free coinage. The recent downward move
nlent bad been caused by the disappoInt-
ment OF that hope The depreciation in
silver had disordered taxation and finance
in India, and had mulcted the official and
salarled classes Of a third OF their incomes

sion and her merchants badly handicspped
by the same cause. The Indian gov

Odd Employment for Women.

In the most recent of her lectures en-
titled New and Odd Employments of
Women" Miss Virginia Penny shows that
there are few fields of labor in which wom-
en- of today have not engaged, and that
their ingenuity in devising new occupa-
tions is not eXcelled by that of man. Per-
sons who have observed the progressive
emancipation of woman will find among
the occupations she mentions some that
are unusually interesting and novel One
woman makes a business of dressing
wealthy women for parties, receptions and
other social affairs. She selects the ma
terials, directs the styles in which the
dresses are to be made and decides upon
the jewels, gloves and other accessories
She also dresses and trims the hair, and
arranges and loops the dresses The dis
play Of her taste and judgment is well paid

A woman il Los Angeles has made q

the rooms with flowers, arranges the ta-
bles, festoons the draperies and brings out
the harmony of color with wonderful ef-
feet. Another California woman, who fol-
lows similar occupation, had charge of
all the arrangements at the great Fair
wedding. California society still talks Of

The Women of Persia.

Persian women are said to be unusually
bright and shrewd as well as very beauti.
full, with dark flashing eyes and gentle,
graceful manners They are naturally
active minded, with strongly poetic tenn
permanent and liking for art, letters and
politics when they can get at them. The
Persian woman has greater power with
her men felix than other oriental women,
and in most affairs of Importance her infu-
ence may be distinctly traced. She is per.
mitted to enter trades on her own account,
to possess independent property, to appear
as a witness in courts, and is responsible
for her own debts, and in divorce has a
right to her children.
In theory, then, the fair Persian is well
off, but practically her place is insecure,
owing to the insecurity of life and property
in all phases of Persian life. And in Persia
the tender woman and tenderer child hold
their religious convictions with their lives,
and go to the stake or a worse death fer
their faiths sake-New York Sun.

Household Pests

For certain of the conmoner pests, such
as the bedbug, the carpet beetle, the
clothes moths, benzine applied in a fine
spray bv means of hand atoInizer, is rec
commended by Professor Riley TO be the
best remedy, as in most cases it destroys
the insect in all stages, including the egg.
In using benzine. however, care must be
taken that no fire or artificial iisht is n
the room at the same time, the vapor OF
benzine being highly explosive.
For cockroaches, bristle tails or fish
moths and feas the professor recommends
a liberal use of pyrethrum powder, in the
form of either Persian or DalnlatIan pow
der. or buhach.
Fleas are generally introduced into
houses by dogs Or cats, and the presence OF
bedbugs is not always sign OF uncleanli-
ness, as they have been found under the
bark OF trees in the woods and in country
houses may sometimes be traced to this
source Keeping premises clean and dry

DEEMlNG'S VICTIMS.

LIVERPOOL March 29.-Dr. Hutchinson,
one of the medical men who conduc ed the
pcStmortem examination on the bodies of
Mrs. Deeming aud her four children, who
were found barred under the floor at
Dunham villa, Rain Hill, has told re-
porter of the Associated Press the method
Followed by the murderer. He said that
the crime disclosed calculating wicked
ness and a cool, heRrtlesS saVagery that is
almost beyond belief. The work of the
murderer was that Of an expert. Each
stroke severed Il vital organ, and no more
might have been accomplished by a sur
geon or butcher who knew his business
well.
The mother was first called from the
room in which she was with the children
into the room where the murderer awaited
her. This is shown from the position of
the wound that killed her and by the fact
that one of her shoes was off and the other
partly unlaced. IL further appears that as
she stopped to unite her shoe she was at
lacked from behind and died almost with
out struggle. Then the children were
called, one by one, to meet their death.
Bertha, the eldest girl. had her thumbs
tied behind her back with a linen bandage.
a similar bandage was wound twice
around her head SO as TO cover her mouth
and keep her from crying. A pillow case
WAS then placed over her head and the
the second girl were also tied behind her
back. but in the case of the other children
this precaution WAS not thought necessary.
One other significant and queer fact is
that, although the tbroatS OF four out of
live OF the victims were cut, on none of
the bodies or clothing was there a trace of
blood, which leaves a dreadful inference of
the deliberate and calm carefulness with
which the slaughter was committed The
names and ages of the children were as
follows: Bertha, years; Marie. :: Lille.
b: sydney, is months. The very terms on
which Deeming hired Dunham villa give
proof OF the hideously cold blCoded pre-
meditation of the butchery. The docu-
ment, which WAS drawn up and written
by DeemIug himself, shows that when ne
took the house the atrocities had already
been planned and that he became a ten
ant OF the villa for the purpose OF carryiug
them into effect aud ridding himself of
his wife and children. who stood in the
way of his marriage to Miss Mather. whose

RUSSIAN JEWS IN ENcL AND.

LONDON, March 29-The Evening News
publishes an editorial On the subject o.
Russian Jewish emigration to England.
The News says that the question OF stay
ing the tide of alien immi grafton to Great
Britain is more terribly urgent than ever,
in view of the action of the United States
in rejecting large numbers who have been
landed there, and IN acIically giving
notice that no more are desired. Every
sign indicates that the Russian govern
ment is anxious to drive the Jews out Of
that country, and, rs the United States no
longer extends a hospitable hand, they are
looking to England with its already
crowded labor markets, as their refuge.
The volume of Russian Jewish emigrants
is increasing every moment, and yet
statesmen, politicians and social reform
ers are not paying any heed to this most
momentous Of issues. The returns OF
February show that during that month
the number of Jews that came to stay III
Ers land were ., SS4 and 3, ,645 came TO Eng
land professidly en- route to America. OF
these a large proportion would doubtless
remain in or come back to Great Britain
to compete in various branches of labor
with Britisch workingmen and perhaps
also to plant the seed OF disease IN British
communities

Regularity in Nursing.

The best time to give the child the breast
is when it awakes out of sleep, and on its
hunger being appeased it will generally
again fall asleep without further trouble
The practice which some have of allowing
the child to fall asleep with the nipple in
its mouth before putting it into its cot is
one to be avoided. \ practice Of this kind
very soon becomes habit with the child,
and the mother herself may be astonished
to find how great hold it has taken upon
it, and how difficult is the task, even in a
short time, of getting the child to fall
asleep without the nipple in its mouth.
Regularity in nursing is necessary dur
ing the first month, and it must be main
tanned in all its strictness until the ap-
pearance of teeth. The frequency, however,
with which the child is fed need not now
be so great as up to this time it has been.
During the day the breast should not be
given more frequently than once every two
and half or three hours, and during the
night it should not be given oftener than
once every three or four hours. AS the
child grows older the time which is allowed
to intervene between each meal should be
increased.
If such directions are attended to it will

or five hours without awaking, and the
mother will thus be enabled to obtain that
amount OF sleep which is so necessary for
her at this time, but if, instead, her nights
are broken and disturbed she will speedily
suffer in health.
Till the appearance of the first milk
teeth the child should be fed exclusively
upon the breast milk; after that, which is
natures indication that the stomach has
become fit to digest other substances, the
child may be given rusks, tops and bot
toms and little of the prepared food. 1t
may he that several of these foods may
have TO be tried ere one is found that will
agree with the child. but when one that is
suitable has been got, it should be at once
adopted and should not be readily given

mrUarlon pernaps-oo you think It does
any good to tell the woman? Never. Per
haps many do not agree with me, will tell
me there should be nothing hidden, moth
ing concealed between lovers. But surely
if woman's happiness lies in her faith in
her lover or her husband the knowl-
edge OF that broken faith means nothing
but misery. For no woman can forgive
the man who has once been untrue to her;
can never forget tit will always be lurk-
ing in her thoughts and coming between
all her happiness. While if she knows
nothing and has the firmest faith in the
man to whom she has given her love, do
you not think it is a case of Where igno-
rance is bliss, It's folly to be wise?" "A
FOOLS paradise" the dissenting ones cry;

surely sinful to spoil by telling things
which have no remedy, by breeding dis

The Study of Hygiene.

81 often wonder why almost everything
under the sun should have place in a
schools curriculum nowadays, and house
hold hygiene is entirely overlooked" said
a mother who believes in a utilitarian edu-
cation. Take plumbing and drainage,
for instance as a single example. What
more important part of the domestic ma
chinery could there be, involving, as it
does, our health and comfort? And yet
not one intelligent, well educated woman
or man in hundred understands the sub
ject. I should think such a study would
be as good discipline of the mind and far
more useful than any of the 'ologies' with
which children's heads are cramned. u
