Woman's Greatest Charm.

Woman's greatest charm to me is that
sweetness of spirit which is to be found
not in the verdancy and ineXperience of a
young woman nor in the infeXible rigidity
of age, but in a woman of mature heart
and wide and ripe experience, who has at
tanned to the fullness of perfect love; one
whom experience has taught to avoid the
sharp corners of life: whose gentleness of
spirit and kindness of heart forbid her
knowingly to wound or give offense
to any one, and whose tact and in
tellgence prevent her from doing it I'M
wttingly whose well balanced judgment
and keen discrimination, allied to ma
tive intuition, teach her instinctively
to do the right thing at the right time and
in the right way; one who has passed
through the crucible of suffering and the
exa"tions of hardship, yet whose indomit-
able spirit and unHinching courage have
been strengthened rather than crushed
or weakened thereby; who, having been
wealthy, is able to make intelligent com
parison and profit by the lesson; one whose
stout heart and unwavering faith in hui
man nature enable her to look calmly and
confidently upward, and to go steadily
onward in whatsoever path of duty may
lie before her, patiently awaiting the glim-
mering light of the rising dawn which
heralds the coming day.-Charles ii. Requa
in New York Press.

aud that the conversation was constantly
interrupted by "Neddie, Neddie, Neddie,
don't darling" or Tommy, don't climb
up there; you will fall. Look Henriette,
at the baby" until finally the visitor left,
feeling her time had been wasted, and if
the mother had taught the children to be-
have beforehand it would have been better
all around.
Now it is self evident fact that the
writer of all this has no children, else she
would understand how the demon of mis-
thief enters into them as soon as company
appears on the scene. And II certain desire
to "show off, also runs wanton riot in
their hearts. And all the lines upon lines,
precepts upon prccepts, here little and
there n vast deal, are one and all forgotten
or defied.
AS far as possible it is well to resist the
temptation to take children into room
with company. OF course they are the
cunningest and prettiest things in the
world, you think, but they will appear to
much better advantage all around if they
are kept in the background. Oh, | know
this rule is a hard one, but it will be inf
nitely better for the children and better
for the mother and perchance more agree

Ladies should he careful how they use
vaseline on the face, for the result of a
number of experiments has induced the
suspicion that persistent use of it will
cause hair to grow on almost any pat of
the face. There have been instances known
of ladies inducing heavy growth of hair
on the upper lip and chin by using vaseline
to drive away pimples. Like some other
indictments, vaseline is too new to allow
of all its properties being yet known, hit
the fact that it will induce a growth of
hair if persstently used seems to be fairly
well settled.-St. Louis Democrat

how much lobbying and wire pulling the
women are equal to when they want

to close all the shops when women have an
election, and the money influence in con-
trolling votes is a thing unknown. If any
right minded man could look in for mo-
ment upon the pretty scene at one of the
meetings Of Sorosis he would go away feel
ing that it might not be such mistake
after all to give women the suffrage, only,
of course, he would have made a mental
reservation restricting his own wife and
daughters from voting.-New York Sun.

country, have, for the weaker sex, an x-
ceptional physique, which enables themto

How much the world owes to the older
sister in the home. Born while yet the
family was in limited circumstances, she
has had to hold and take care of younger
brothers. And if there is anything that
sxcites my sympathy it is a little girl
carrying around great heavy child and
getting her ears boxed because she cannot
keep him quiet. BY the time she gets to
young womanhood she is pale and worn
out, and her attractiveness has been sacri-
feed on the altar of sisterly fidelity, and
she is consigned to celibacy, and society
calls her by an ungallant name, but in
heaven they call her Miriam. In most
families the two most undesirable places
in the record of births are the first and the
last the first because she is worn out with
the cares of IA home that cannot afford to
hire help, and the last because she is
spoiled rs pet
Among the grandest equipages that
sweep through the streets of heaven will
be those occupied by sisters who sacrificed
themselves for brothers. They will have
the finest of Apocalyptic white horses, and
many who on earth looked down upon
them will have to turn out to let them
pass. And this leads me to the thought,
Let sisters not begrudge the time and care
bestowed on Il brother. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that any boy you know SO well as
you do your brother can ever turn out any
thing very useful. Well, he may not be a
Moses. There is only one of that kind
needed for 5000 years. But tell you what
your brother will be-either blessing or
a curse to society, and n candidate for hap
piness or wretchedness. He will, like
Moses, have the choice between rubes and
living Goals, and your influence will have
much to do with his decision.-Dr. Tai
