Education at Home,

The German Froebel was the great
apostle of the kindergarten, a word
which means literally q garden of chill
dren, where young human beings are
cared for as plants are cared for, that
their growth may be symmetrical,
and that the ripened fruits OF charac-
ter may appear in due time, writes
Caroline LIE Bow in the Ladies' Home
Journal. He saw that the infant
made constant use of it's eyes; de-
sired to use its legs and arms, and
had disposition to play; that with
the first Indication of intelligence it
showed curiosity, and that it's first
connected words were in the form of
questions. 1t is because his system Of
education is based upon these facts of
the child's natural unfolding that it
has proved itself to be the best, and,
indeed, the only proper training for
young children.

A Fancy-work Partnership.

Since fancy work has become "dec-
Grafton" and the dealer possesses a
knowledge far beyond that of assort-
ing German worsteds, the interiors of
our houses no longer resemble bazaars
of canvas-worked articles. Young
women who aim to supply fancy work
for dainty fingers now study designing
at the Museum of Fine Arts or the
Lowell Institute of Design. They un-
derstand historic periods of decora-
ton, adapting attractive features of
the past to the needs of the present;
they study the peculiarities of orna-
ment of various nations, and use all
suggestions in an artistic manner.
Two young women who formed a
partnership have been most success
full in showinghow the business OF pro-
ducing dainty fancy work may be car
ried on. In large, light room divid-
ed by q screen into large reception
room and q small work room, they re-
ceive orders, make designs, and in dull
seasons take up needles and silks for
embroidery. To the question wheth-
er it is not difficult to keep up with
the fashion OF decoration, which
changes almost as often as
that of dress, one of the partners
said, with a smile, "Oh, we try to be
ahead of the fashions" This ability to
be in advanceis, in reality, thefaculty
of originating designs.
The charming manner in which the
two young partners work together is
an encouraging indication of woman's
tact in business relations. One who
particularly enjoys finances attends
to the bookkeeping; the other receives
most of the orders, and both design
patterns. cit is very amusing" one
said, Ito see how difficult to under
stand the idea of our partnership
seems to be. Some people cannot
realize that our interests areidentical,
and believe that each is conducting an
independent business" The partners,
in two years business relations, have
become so united in method that each
takes up her duties without hesita-
ton, and the result is both harmony
in partnership and beauty of designs.

MEESSONIER'S TERRIER.
A Good Story About the Artist and
the Doctor,

A Good Story About the Artist and
the Doctor.
MISSIONER was very fond of cats
and dogs. Among his pets was a rug
ged little terrier. The terrier got very
sick one day, and the great painter
was in sore fix. In Poissy, where he
lived, there was no dog doctor, and
the animal was getting worse every
day. At last the artist accidently
met friend of his, one of the most il
lustrious physicians of Paris. "Doc-
tor" said he, "do me an immense
favor; cure my sick dog"
"Now, my dear SIR" said the doc
tor, "are you really serious?"
II am" replied MISSIONER. 81 know
that the thing isn't precisely in your
line, but you would do me a great
kindness, and l will remain forever
your debtor if you will consent to try
your skill on my little terrier"
The doctor at last consented. He
saw the dog, prescribed and cured.
When he returned to Paris hereceived
polite note from MISSIONER, asking
him to name the amount of his hon
orarium 'for medical services render
ed to the dog" The doctor laughed
and did not reply to the note. But
soon another note came with the
same request and a statement that
the author made it rule not to owe
anything to anybody. The doctor re-
piled to this with the single word,
Nothing" But MISSIONER would
not be denied. He sent q messenger
with another note.
"In the dogs name," exclaimed the
mighty medicine man, "tell MISSIONER
that / have just put up a new iron
gate at the entrance to my garden,
Let him paint that and then we'll be
quits"

Should Women smcka.

The Hospital has got into trouble
for advising women whose nerves can
not bear the strain of small worries
to try smoking if their doctors recon-
mend it. But, says Mr.. James Payn
pertinently, why the general public
should be more shocked at lady be-
ing recommended to smoke tobacco
than stramonium one is at a loss to
conjecture. 1t will not be denied by
anyone short of lunatic that a pipe
allays the troubles of a man, and why
shouldn't a few wh;ffs of a cigarette
allay the worries OF a woman? At
present it's mitigations among the fair
sex are confined chiefly to the fast and
loose, but there is no more reason
why it should be 80 than that the

alleviate the pain in the least. So l
let them all go and started travelling
and kept up aperpetual motion. One
thing noticed. For two days before
a rain or electrical storm there would
be a rigid contraction of the nerves
and my sufferings were intensified.
Many time have predicted storm
