Questions for Girl Graduates.

In the Housekeeper's Weekly Kate
Field has asked the '92 girl graduates
few pointed questions, among which
are these: Do you really know any,
thing thoroughly well? Are you mis-
tress of your own language? Can you
speak it purely and unsteady, or
do you torture sensitive ears by talking
through your nose with slovenly enun-
ciation2 Do you write legibly, or has
distinct chirography been beneath your
notice? Do you sign your name so
they who run may read, or does it re-
quire an expert to decipher il? l ask
feelingly. I've been an editor just one
year and half, during which time 1
have gone more or less mad over more
atrocious chirography than 1 dreamed
possible in a nation of alleged universal
education. The number of women
who can't or won't write their own
names clearly is shameful. That so
few women charm by refinement of
speech tells a sad story of illiterate
homes and culpable teachers. Can you
write an intelligent letter, spelled and
punctuated properly oughout-such
a production as you would not be
ashamed to have picked up in the street
or read aloud in court room? If not,
you may know something OF ancient
history or decline Latin verbs, but you
are an awful failure in English. Can
you keep accounts? No. Then all
your geometry won't avail you in
facing hard and practical world.
Have you practical knowledge of
physiology and hygiene? Did you
ever study your own wonderful me-
chanism and the laws by which it is
governed? Have you been taught to
stand in awe of your own stomach?
Have you learned what foods you can
digest and what you can't? Do you
realize that sound mind is only pos
sible in sound body? Do you wear
such clothing as gives perfect freedom
TO vital organs? If not, your teachers
have neglected to impress upon you
the most important of all knowledge
the knowledge of yourself"

The Baby in Hot Weather.

The Philadelphia board of health has
issued some excellent rules for the care
of infants in summer, including direc-
tions what to do in those emergencies
which always alarm a mother, and in
which she seldom knows the right
thing to do:
RULE If the child is suddenly at
tackled with vomiting, purging and
prostration, send for doctor at once.
In the mean time put the child for a
few minutes in hot bath, then care
fully wipe it dry with warm towel and
wrap it in warm blankets. If its hands
and feet are cold, bottles filled with hot
water and wrapped in flannel should be
laid against them.
RULE "A mush poultice or one
made of faX-seed meal, to which one
one.quarter part of mustard flour has
been added, or fiannels wrung out of
hot vinegar and water, should be placed
over the belly.
RULE 3.-Five drops of brandy in a
teaspoonful OF water may be given
every ten or fifteen minutes but if the
vomiting persists, give the brandy in
equal parts of milk and lime water.
RULE Aft the darrt ea has Just
begun, or if caused by improper food,
a teaspoonful of castor oil, or of the
spiced syrup of rhubarb, should be
given.
RULE 5.-If the child has been fed
partly on the breast and partly on other
food, the mothers milk alone must now
be used. If the child has been weaned,
it should have pure milk, with lime
water, beef tea or chicken water.
RULE 6.-The child should be allowed
TO drink cold water freely.
RULE THE soiled diapers or the
discharges should be at once removed
from the room, but saved for the physi-
clan to examine at his visits.

Cyrus W. Field.

Bold Cyrus Field, he said, says he,
have pretty notion
That l can run telegraph
Across the Atlantic ocean.
Then all the people laughed and said
They'd like to see him do it;
He might get half seas over, but
He never could go through It.
But Cyrus was a valiant man;
A fellow Of decision;
And needed not their hooking words,
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did his honest efforts fail
And yet his mind was stable
He want the man to break his heart
Because he broke the cable.
" Once more, my gallant boysl " he cried I;
"Three times-you know the fable
I'll make it thirty" muttered he,
But will lay the cablel"
Once more they tried-hurrahl hurrah
What means this great commotion2
The Lord be praised The cables laid
Across the Atlantic ocean,
Now long live James, and long live Vic,
And long live gallant Cyrus;
And may his courage, faith and zeal
With emulation fire us.
And may we honor evermore
The manly bold, and stable,
And tell our sons, to make them brave,
How Cyrus laid the cable.

Where the Shoe Pinches.

l think it is safe to say that ninety
nine out of every hundred women wear
shoes that are too large in the instep.
Shoes that are too large in the instep
allow the feet to crowd forward on to
the toes and the result is there is de-
formity of some sort. When womaD's
foot hurts her, nine times out of ten
she will have the buttons of her shoes
set so they will be made larger in the
instep, and if her toes are troubling her
the mischief is only increased. The
button should be reset so as to make
the instep smaller and the shoe to fit
the better. The slovenly fitted shoe is
the cause of most of the trouble

The Good Morning Kiss.

IT'S but three little months ago
Since Nell and were married,
And Joy that came to bid us Joy
Since then has with us tarried
And yet full-hedged Benedict,
With all my bliss, am |,
As doth appear each morning,
When kiss my Nell goodbye
For it's
Don't forget the curtain rings,
The carpet tacks and Ratchet,
And take this piece of ribbon, love,
And see If you can match it,"
o, happy is the evening hour,
When Nell the tea is pouring
And am sitting opposite,
Her every move adoring
And happy are the morning times
That all too quickly fly
Until l stand upon the steps
And kiss my Nell goodbye;
And it's
Don't forget the linen, dear,
And match these buttons, sweeting
And call around at Madame US
And get that yard of pleating"
In Lovers land we twain abide
And there will dwell forever,
No doubt or grief shall be allowed
Our welded souls to sever
So faithfully her name 1 breathe
In every ardent sigh,
I'm glad to be the errand boy
Who kisses her goodbye;
When it's
Run around to Stacy's, George,
And get three sheets of batting,
And bring four spools of fifty thread
Like that l use for tatting."

VERMONT WATCHMAN and con-
tinue it's publication weekly till and
including Wednesday, November 80.
This will make twenty issues, cover
ing the period of the Political Cam
paign, state and national, the Elec-
tions, state and national, and the
Session of the Legislature.
This Campaign Edition will consist
of four pages of the size of the regular
wATCHMAN pages 1t will con-
tain political matter bearing on state
and national questions, with the news
ocal, state and general.
The Political Campaign of the sum-
mer and fall of 1892 will be intensely
interesting and exciting, and the vot-
ers of Vermont will desire the facts
of the issues discussed, and larger
amount of general political news and
discussion than ever before; and they
will particularly desire the facts
bearing upon Vermont interests, and
discussions based on such facts.
In the presentation of the facts of
the situation and in all discussions
relating to Vermont interests, THE
WATCHMAN has long been recOg-
nized throughout the state as the
leader among the state journals.
Published at the State Capital, in
contact with the best sources of in
formation, and cOmpetently edited,
it is enabled to serve Vermont read
ers, to meet their requirements far
more effectively than the city jour-
mails, with their great mass of facts
and discussion not germane to Ver-
mont interests.
SO, Republican Friends, we appeal
to you to raise club for the CAM.
PAIGN WATCHMAN, large or small.
You can thus greatly help the Re-
publican cause, state and national.
Every one will want THE WATCH.
MAN during the Legislative Session.
No other paper publishes reports of
Legislative Proceedings so full and
accurate.
The price for twenty weeks, even for
single copies, Is merely nominal, and
the club prices should place the paper
In every household in the state.

votes the directors OF the Worlds Fair went
ON record this afternoon as favoring the open
ing OF the Exposition on Sundays. The reso-
lutions adopted say:
1T is our judgment that tho Exposition
should be open on Sunday under such rules
and regulations as will prohibit the use
OF machinery. unnecessary manual Ia
Dor. and all merchandising. and at the
same time give opportunity for the study
OF the highest standard OF artistic and
mechanical science: that the art gallery. the
horticultural building. and all other buildings
IN which exhibits OF mechanical art are exhib-
itsd should be- thrown open to the public on
each and every day during tho entire time OF
the Exposition also that each employee
should be civen one day of each week for rest
