Needed Education for Girls.

Mrs. Doane prominent member of New
York's famous woman's club, Sorosis. in Il
discussion relating to educating young
women in business, lamented the false
modesty which forbade mothers facing
squarely the true and needful education of
their daughters. She advocated the special
teaching Of girls in the public schools on
matters of hygiene and physiology as they
are taught in the colleges. Life demands
much more of our girls than it does of our
boys" she said ''and we should recognize
it. The schools fit our girls for business,
but ignore the fact that the happiness or
misery of the coming generations lies in
the hands of girls who, with all their learn
ing, are ignorant of the vital principles
which underlie the glory of wifehood and
womanhood."

NEW York, March 1.--James r..
Keene, who, after coming here from San
Francisco with reputed capital of
81, 0O0,0 to pit himself against Jay
Gould, made himself formidable by u
long and brilliant series of gigantic
operations only to end in disastrous fail
,-ure, has been for some time forging his
way q the front again. He works
quietly (his name is not often heard of
now in connection with big enterprises),
but with all his former energy, shrewd-
ness and daring, and is confident of re-
gaining his lost place in the speculative
world.
Even when his sun was totally eclipsed
he regarded the eclipse rs but tempo
rary, expecting ere long to be shining
once more in the sky of finance. He
has been disappointed about the timo,
for unforeseen difficulties have obstruct-
ed him, but he is as sanguine as ever Of
tho ultimate results. His obligations
when he failed were so enormous that
nyof his acquaintance declared they
could never be met. But they who
KNOW MN tlipuSpiiI OpiiSi NiSOi
they said that the outcome would do
pond on his life Che is little more than
fifty) that, if he should last, he would
triumph over adverse circumstances.
The prediction seems likely to be vcri-
fed. He has never had SO much faith
in his future as at present He is
positively enthusiastic over his prospects
in these days, considering that within a
twelvemonth no will have paid hun
drcd cents on the dollar, with interest,
to every one of his creditors. His oper-
ations are often immense-in stocks,
grain, petroleum, in whatever promises
profit. They sometimes appear reckless,
but his intimates assert otherwise. They
maintain that he is a philosophic specu-
lator; that he has clear head which
nothing ever obscures; that his courage
is prodigious, and that his resources are
inexhaustible, Jay Gould, they init
mate, will yet discover that he has a foe
man worthy of his steel. I. Il Y.

Saving sctans OF Toilet snan.

A thrifty suggestion, made by woman
whose silvered head attests her years of
experience, is use for the scraps of soap
left in the toilet dishes when fresh cake
is taken. These she gathers and preserves
carefully, and when the accumulation is
sufficient puts them, with q very little water
to moisten the mass, into tin kept for the
purpose. 1t is then set on the stove and
melted slowly, and when little cool
nodded in balls for second use. "As
buy the best and purest soap can get,"
she says, lit pays to utilize the scraps. ~
