Three Meal. a Day.

Now, since a housekeeper has to
plan ninety meals a month, or almost
eleven hundred 8 year; it often seems
to her as if folks did little else than
eat; but to the men and the othe,
women who are actively employed
all day, and have none of the burdens
of the kitchen work to bear, the
meals appear to be a long time
apart. Almost all people require
three meals a day, and two should
surely be substantial. So we'll are

It Has No Equal in the World--Mud
in Winter.
None but those who have seen it,
breathed it and felt it would believe
in the dust of n Russian village or q
little town. 1t has no equal in the
world save in the winters mud of the
same village. In the summer we
look upon our ill-kept streets through
a haze OF golden mist-golden enough
when the suns rays streams through
it, but which leaves a coating Of gray
powder upon furniture, floors, hair,
face and hands. In the winter this
dirt is converted into mass OF liquid
mud, black, sticky, and tenacious, in
which pigs wallow to their hearts con-
tent, and with which every passing
vehicle so bespatters walls and
houses that their original color be-
comes indiscernible! The back Of
our house opens upon a piece of
waste ground overgrown with
weeds, save where they
have been beaten down by
mounds OF dirt, broken crockery
and other refuse, but here a few ko-
pecks and liberal use OF tea speedily
brought improvement. The lower
classes in Russia, especially the SER
wants, are delightfully."- good-natured.
They are also for the most part very
intelligent, though unhappily, their
cleverness not infrequently degener-
ates into cunning; nevertheless, their
idleness, their carelessness, their reck-
less indifference to truth, make them
both difficult and trying to deal with.
One is so delighted at first with their
good temper and willingness to
oblige; it is such q pleasure to look
into their beaming faces and hear
their ready assent to every PROPOSE
ton, but unluckily, nine times out Of

assent. You are so pleased with
them, and they are so pleased with
themselves, that they do no more.
They are satisfied, though you are
not. l am ashamed to acknowledge
how often / have felt that a few blows

No More Corset. for Thorn.

From Baltimore we have the inter-
esting news that 800 feminine pupils
in the state normal school there have
discarded corsets and garters, and will
not hereafter wear them as part OF
the school garb, the outdoor dress or
the home costume, but instead there
of will adopt, or rather have already
adopted, health waists and elastic
stocking supporters. They gave the
subject long consideration before tax
ing this action, and made themselves
familiar with the Chautauqua argu-
ments in it's favor, which were
not regarded as conclusive. The
professor of physical culture set
tied the question when she set
up a rule requiring all her pupils to
make the change needed to So
cure the full benefit OF muscular exer-
else. The physical culture class
obeyed this order, and were highly
delighted with the result, whereupon
the other young ladies in the state
normal school followed their example
and got rid of corsets and garters.
Thus the great reform has got a
powerful foothold in Baltimore, which
is now away ahead OF Boston in this
respect. 1t may be presumed that
within q very short time all the ladies
of Baltimore will adopt the change
which Prof. Helen M. Cole has COM

OF course this slight change does not

How a Nurse In a Russian Family
Received the Young Masters
American Wife.
A very interesting talker is Count
Eugene de Mitciewicz, who resides with
his family in a fashionable uptown
boarding house. The Count is very
popular among theguests, heis a good
story teller and is heard at his best
when relating tales ofRussian domest-
ic life.
"shortly after my marriage" said
he to q circle of listeners the other
evening, 81 went with my wife to visit
my home in Russia. Now, you must
know that in certain parts of Russia
the lower classes know as little about
this country rs they do about the
moon. Particularly was this so at
the time of which I speak.
"Our family, had at that time q
nurse in their employ who came from
somewhere east Of Moscow. She had
been told that far away America was
peopled with coloredfolks, and natur-
ally when she heard that the ''young
master was returning home with an
American wife, she concluded that I
had married a colored woman.
"This nurse, among her other &C
complishments spoke French fuentIy.
She was an imaginative creature and
something of q poetess. She felt that
it. would be an incumbent on her to
do something toward welcoming my
wife to our home. Accordingly she
wrote q poem in her honor.
This poemtastefully decorated with
| black ribbons, was handed to me up
on my arrival. And what do you
think was thetitle Of the poemi Simply
this
IA la belle Africaine.'
"That was q staggerer, you may be
sure. Mutual explanations, however,
followed, and the nurse, during our
stay, was ever at my wife's sideready
to pay homage"

The Aotre.s,s Babv.

A comical incident occurred some
little time ago at a country theatre
while Shakespeare's "Romeo and
Juliet" vas being played too crowded
house.
The juvenile leading lady, a good
actress, was q married woman, and
was also a young mother, and she
was cast to play the leading part OF
Juliet.
Her baby had been placed in her
dressing-room, 30 as to be safe and
near its mother. But just before the
famous balcony scene, the little ty-
rant got beyond all control. What
was to be done?
The best soothing syrupwas hit up
on with a mothers tact. She nestled
the infant to her breast, and it at
once became perfectly SILENT.
Upon being called, the actress hast.
lily mounted the rostrum that sup
ported the balcony, throwing a lace
scarf over her shoulders, and SO con.
cealing the baby. AS she leant over
the balcony, withher other arm pen
sively placed upon her cheek, she
looked a picture of youthful beauty
and innocence.
The scene opened, and proceeded
e%xcellently. Unfortunately, however,
Juliet has to appear and disappear
three times. and, in her effort to do
SO gracefully, and yet conceal the
child, she stumbled against the iron
brace that held up the frail structure.
Down came the balcony, and be.
hold! the lovelorn maiden was dis,
covered with a fine, big baby at he,
breast, seated on a tub that served as
a stool, and at her feet a battered
tankard left carelessly by the thirsty
carpenter. Shrieks of laughter! The
curtain fell, and did not rise again
that night.
