Disease at the Back Door.

Gas for ordinary family sicknesses, I be.
lieve," says a physician, "that most of them
come from Stops. Yes, it is the nasty habit
of pitching out the back door a pailful and
a dipperful, now and then, of greasy wa
ter, and a handful of parings and the gen.
eral waste of the kitchen that breeds fe-
vers and bilious diseases. They disappear
for the most part in the soil, but that is
the key to the mischief. The soil gets full
after a time and ferments, and the hot sun
breeds poisonous gases which surround
and enter the house. This is true not only
of the cheaper, poorer houses and careless
families, but well to do, intelligent people
have spots behind their houses saturated
with Stops. Stop holes and filthy drains
are SO common in cities that the wonder is
there is not a general pestilence.
mo amount of supervision can prevent
a great deal of filthy evil. But in the
country it should never be allowed. All
that is not carried off by the regular drain
should be carried out to trees and poured
in small quantities here and there as a fer
tilizer. Trees will take up u large amount
of water and be grateful for it. If there is
an ashpit about, which is, of course, to be
frequently emptied and the contents car
ried away to be sowed on the land, the
Stops may be thrown into the ashes. But
there must be simply constant intelligence
in the disposal of waste. Nowhere are
drains more needed about a home than
about the back door."-St. Louis Globe

Girls, Save Your Nervous Force.

Why do women expend so much force on
useless things? You will observe-if you
are observing-that some delicate, nervous
woman will have an umbrella in her hand,
upon which she will expend eneugh nerv-
GUS force to move a house. She will have
a bag or bundle, to which she clings with
a deadly grip, and perhaps a mantle or a
part of her dress is held tightly in her
cramped hands. She does not know that
she presents the appearance of one who
wrestles with an invisible fate. The vigor
and rigor with which Il woman clutches
her pocketbook is SO much waste power,
and the lines of her face answer to the
tense cords of her muscular system. She
is like the woman who broke a saucer and
carried the pieces in her face all day.
Girls, don't expend all your strength on
these unequal forces. Adapt your muscles
to the size of the weight you are about t 0
lift. Life would be a grand thing if orr
faces were properly adjusted and the true
balance Of a perfect mental and moral
e%quipoise reached.-Detroit Free Press

it was a great event in the history of the
United States navy, and naval circles we're
all alive with curiosity to learn who was
to be her commander. The choice is made
and the man is Captain John w. Philip

His biography reads like a sea tale outs Of.

naval academy in 1855, graduated in 1851
and entered at once into the most stirring
episodes of the civil war. Most of his.
service was on blockading vessels, and dur
ing the great naval attack on Fort Sumter
he was on the monitor. Montauk. He next
went to China as executive officer of the
Wachusett, and from 1859 till 1872 served
as executive on the Richmond, Of the
European squadron. After two years in;
the service Of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company he returned tx the navy, was
made captain in 1889, and in 1890 was put,
in command of the Atlanta. @
Of the forty-fve captains in the navy only
six nave had more sea service than Captain
Philip. his record covering seventeen years
and nine months. When he left the At
lanta at Fortress Monroe to take charge oE,

new vessel by full crew of oficers-ans

marked for the commander of the pride Of

WOman's Intuition,

There is no doubt that a large percentage
of womankind are averse to telling their
ages. The reason why they are is not so
evident. But it is not in the matter of
telling ages alone that woman's ways, like
those of Providence, are inscrutable. Many
other things which they do, or refuse to
do, are commonly supposed to be the result
of Il lack of reason rather than it's effect.
1t is pretty universally considered that
Woma is not a great success rs a reasoner,
and most of her happiest inspirations are
usually ascribed to that uncertain some
thing commonly known as 'intuition."
Is it not quite likely, then, that the fact
that many women prefer to keep the num-
Der of their years to themselves may not be
based on any reason, but be simply the re-
suit of intuitive feeling? If this be SO,
then it is futile to seek for what does not
exist, N we must simply say, "There is
no reason" | think this is worth consid-
ering. Women's intuitions, moreover, are
so often right that one cannot help admir-
ing this excellent, if mysterious, power,
and their intuitions-for it cannot be any,
thing else-are equally correct in the case
under discussion.
The desire to ascertain another PERSONS
age, except III certain special instances, is
the outcome of nothing better thai idle
curiosity, and it is better that idle curios-
ity should always be repressed. So that it
must be concluded, l think, that woman
feels intuitiyely that nothing is to be
gained by revealing her age, and therefore
usually keeps it dark. 1t is true that her
intuitions in this direction sometimes
carry her too far, but that is only another
case of "a little too much of a good thing"

One Kind of Il Saving Woman.

But from all trencher scraping and table
saving, preserve us from the housewife
who audibly counts noses and measures
capacities before her guests; who wonders
If there will be enough to go around, and if
there will be any left to warm over for to-
morrow's breakfast; who talks of the cost
OF this and the price of that until every
thing has a metallic taste, a flavor of
money; who gives directions to set the rest
of the chicken in the pantry, and to tell
the servant to eat the cold corned beef.
Yes, the old bachelor was right; a saving
woman scrimps at the table.-Exchange.

Miss BraddOn at Home.

Miss Braddon leads a quiet and almost a
secluded life at Richmond Hill. Most of
her leisure is spent in the saddle, and she
is still in harness, figuratively speaking, as
an author. OF late years she has not often
sought the literary circles of which she
was formerly an ornament. She very rare
~ appears in public and never at any
gathering where there is a crowd. Her
constant companion, when his engage
ments will allow of it, is her son, Mr.. Ger
aid Maxwell, the actor. Miss Braddon's
general health is excellent.-London Star.

Bedspreads and PortIeres.

A pretty material for bedspreads and
portleres is bargarren art cloth. 1t comes
in white, cream and colors, and in four
different styles of mesh. In colors it is
1fty-two inches, and in cream and white
it Is seventy-two inches. 1t is heavy and
durable. Where it is required for dra-
per;es no cloth can be better than this, as
1t ADJUSTS itself in soft, graceful lines, and
1t would be almost impossible for the most
awkward hand to give the folds a "stiff"
appearance. For table mats it is "a treas
ure." Make the mats about ~ inches
larger than the body of the mat is desired,
and ravel out this extra width when the
working of the mat is finished for fringe.
A pretty way to add color to the fringe
is to darn from the edge of the cloth before
the mat is raveled; darn in about three
inches at the widest place and az
inches at the narrowest; regulate the
width of darning so that the inside
line shall be a series Of points or squares;
this is easily done, as the meshes regulate
the stitches in the same way canvas does.
When the edge is raveled the colored
threads will be pretty with the white. II
more color is desired, any pattern maybe
sdarned, or cross stitched the same as it can
be on anvas E38$8
This cloth Is well suited for bedspreads.

The Way to Serve Fried OYSTERS.

Only the best and largest oysters should
be chosen for frying. Dip them, one by
one, in flour, then in beaten egg, season
with salt and the merest dash of cayenne,
dip again in powdered butter cracker and
fry them in boiling hot fat, deep enough
to float a %doughnut. Turn them in frying
and o them in all for four minutes.
Drain them thoroughly, lay them for a
moment on coarse brown paper to absorb
any fat that may cling to them, and serve
them at once in a folded napkin on a hot
dish accompanied by quarters of lemon
and waferlike slices of brown bread dainti-
ly buttered. -EXchange.

Announcing ENGAGEMENTS.

When a couple are engaged there is sci.
dom any sensible reason why all the world
should not know it, and therefore the
fashion of announcing engagements just
before a prominent ball, and having the
ladies and gentlemen congratulated by
their friends is to be commended. To be
sure, if the engagement is afterward
broken, the thought of these public con-
CALCULATIONS would be embarrassing; but
If the fashion tends to prevent promises
OF marriages being lightly given, it will
serve good purposes. The girl who might
say yes when asked to marry, with the
mental reservation that if anything better
comes along she will contrive not to keep
her word, will think twice about it if she
has to go(through with such a form.
Marriage engagements are frequently
too lightly entered into, and too lightly
set aside. The engagement should be
nearly as sacred a contract as the marriage
itself, and it should be such an engage
ment that both parties would be proud to
have it known among all their common
acquaintance. In general, when the en-
gagement is, as all engagements should
be, serious, there is everything to gain and
nothing to lose by having the facts
known.-Demorest's.

W Clayton, and he alone of the Sena-
tors who won the peculiar distinction at:
that time OF being the first to represent re-
constructed states in the senate has re-
manned ever since his retirement q resident
of Arkansas.
clayton was a very young man when he
entered the senate, being only a year or
two older than the limit prescribed by the
constitution. He had lost an arm in the
war. He was a strong Republican, and
since his retirement from the senate he
has been more or less active as a Repub-
hcan politician in Arkansas, yet politics.

i m He was one of the first to realize
the magnificent resources of his state, and
when he quilted the senate he determined
to make the effort to develop some. Of
them. For that reason he gained many
friendships among citizens of that state
who are of the opposite political party.
Clayton's first efforts were to develop the
railway systems of Arkansas. He saw that
it would be impossible to utilize the mag
nificent timber lands of the western part of
the state unless they could be reached by
railway. He also showed the people how
imperative was the necessity for railway
communication to bring the products of"
the fertile bottom lands to market. Then
there were the mineral regions to be-
reached. When Clayton returned from
the senate to Arkansas most of the travel
ing in the state was lone either by steam
boat, fatboat, stage or horseback. Now.
every important section is reached by rail
way and the superior physical resources,
are being very rapidly developed.
1t has been the opinion of some of the,
scientists at the Smithsonian institution
that take it all in all, Arkansas is the
richest state in the Union in it's natural
resources in proportion to it's area. 1t pro-
duces everything, from sugar to Indian
corn and wheat, and it has what the other
sugar states have not, great mineral
wealth. Mr.. Clayton's relations of late,
have been with business men rather than
with politicians, although he for a long
time represented his party on the Repub-
lican national committee.

Duty of a Mother.

New, when the capability of women to
compete with men in occupations formerly
cicsed to them is being discussed on every
side, 1t is becoming obvious to many that
the element of character necessary to
holnemaking is not being stimulated or
encouraged to its proper development in
the minds of many young girls. 1t is diff
cult to understand the reticence existing
between mothers and daughters in some
families. The foundation of this state of
affairs probably dates back to childhood,
for she who does not listen and sympa-
rhize with a little child's troubles is pre-
pairing for this future lack of confidence
which has wrecked many homes.
No one would expect a young woman to
make a success of any pursuit or profession
unless she had received a thorough train
ing in that line. True, the natural capa-
bility and intelligence of womanhood will
do much to help the young and inexperi-
enced; but nothing ever takes the place of
a mothers wise counsel and instruction.
Maternal Indifference is said to be one of
the greatest evils of the day. 1t is not un-
common to find married women with occu-
pations and interests that occupy their
time almost entirely apart from their own
ireside.
IhaC a woman nowhere appears to better
advantage than in home surroundings is
conceded by most men; but the average
woman of today is not as dependent as of
yore upon the masculine mind for her
views and opinions on many subjects, and
sometimes mistakenly refuses to recog-
nize the fact that while the public can do
very we'll without her, her place at home
can not 80 we'll be filled by any one else.
A proper ambition and desire for ad-
vancement should be the aim of all women,
married or single; but it is only a misdi-
rected ambition that makes a woman fail
to realize the importance of her place at
home as compared with the good she will
be likely to accomplish elsewhere.-New
