One Thing at a Time.

Nothing is more sure to be slow poison to
the systems of American women, with
their consciences and their nerves, than
the game of Taps and slams" When you
stir cake, do nothing else; when you bake
it, rest if you need it. Do not stand around
wasting good muscle and nerve waiting"
Plan your work in your brain; then let
your brain rest, and it will be again ready
for work when your body is tired and its
work done
Cultivated women do not work with the
same good results physically as peasant
women, for the latter work with their
minds free from ali thoughts but of their
work, while the former work wishing often
they were anywhere but where they are;
or if not this, still their minds are working
In many different lines of thought.
When you find you are not taking things
one at time and simply, and therefore
there is confusion and fatigue, stop Short
Take ten minutes rest, lie down with
thought of your weight only and you will
be astonished at the results. Everything
will clear, and you will start fresh, as if
after a good sleep. The day that is the
most full of pressing care is the day when
You cannot afford not to take at least ons
such rest.
To prevent this confusion cut off each
duty from its successor; begin anew with
each task and get in deep, slow breath
before each change of work.
These are the simplest directions, but if
followed they will surely prolong the lives
of all our faithful housekeepers and set
of fresher faced old ladies will grandmother
the next generation. Boston Herald.

woman's Respect for Woman.

Take notice when you ride on the street
car and you will observe that the women
who expect so much courtesy from the
men show little or none to their own sex.
They spread themselves over the seats so
as to prevent others from sitting down, the
excuse being that they are anxious not to
have their dresses crushed by crowding,
and if they have children permit them to
wipe their feet all over their next neigh
Dor. In the shops they VIGOROUSLY lack
considerateness for the clerks, crowd one
another outrageously and refuse to await
their turns for attention. On board of
sleeping cars they are apt to exhibit the
utmost indifference to each others COM
fort, two or three occupying the washing
quarters by the hour, to the exclusion of
the rest. 1t would not be a bad idea,
should imagine, to introduce in the train
ing of little girls slightly more vigorous
discipline respecting the consideration
which they ought to show for their fellow
beings in petticoats. Washington Star.

A War "Reminiscences.

"Grant had been pounding us pretty
lively for some time in sixty-four" said
Major Hugh Colquitt, youngest brother of
the Georgia senator, who went into the
Confederate service on his brothers staff
at the age of fifteen, but at Cold Harbor
we held a practically impregnable position
Some negro troops had succeeded at one
point in getting into the ditch beneath our
parapet, and while they remained there
were comparatively safe. They were so
close to US that we could hear them talk
ing together. Finally they decided to at
tempt to scale our ramparts and force an
entrance into our works.
1--WE could hear them, though we
couldn't see them. Their plan was to
mount by one another's shoulders until the
topmost man should be able to scramble on
top Of the parapet, and then make dash
at US. They put it into operation, and
soon we saw the head and shoulders of a
gigantic negro appear above the top OF the
parapet. Some of the boys wanted to seize
him and pull him as prisoner, but he
made too tempting a mark. a dozen rifles
cracked as one, and the daring negro tum-
bled back corpse. AS be fell we heard a
voice in the ditch exclaim;
Oar, now; dey done kill Corp. Dick.
de gamest man in de coplp'nyP
That remark passed into byword in
the army of northern Virginia during the
rest OF the war Washington Post,

A "Glow Eject" in Corners.

In most old fashioned houses there are
plenty Of unsightly corners and hooks, the
result of additions and changes. and these
to the decorator are frequently the source
Of delightful whims. An alcove we re-
Gently noticed was reduced in height by
fretwork side and top, and provided with a
corner divan; the walls were treated with
paper, different entirely from the con-
uguous room, which was cream, with
touches of brown; but the alcove showed
its walls aglow with deep pink, as though
from the reflection Of heavy red shaded
standard lamp. The effect upon enter
ing the room and getting a glimpse Of
this Alcove was very pleasing. and at
first sight was attributed TO the lamp

What Women Should Read.

In a sermon to women upon the art of
conversation, writer advises women first
of all to know something to talk about,
and as a means to this end he advises
them to read newspapers. He says: 81 do
not mean read the marriage notices and
the deaths merely. l do not mean read the
sensational items about the latest murder
or divorce OF theft. You will be far better
off if you do not read many of these things.
Read the editorials, read the doings of con-
gress, of the senate, of the matters before
the legislature of your own state and of
other states; read the items relating to the
affairs of the Old World. These things,
which are the doings of the present, will
enter into the history to be written in the
future, and know Of no way to keep up
with current history, either of your own
or other countries, than by reading the pa
pers.
But not merely are you to read the sec
ular papers, but you are to read as well
the religious newspapers. You cannot have
true knowledge of history, either current
or past, without knowing the religious his
tory of the world. Then there's the maya
zine literature. This contains much of the
history of current thought" Biography,
the best poetry and the best novels are also
recommended

Causes of WrinkIea

Wrinkles are not entirely the marks Of
time, but they are often the unmistakable
outward signs of our inward nature. An
habitual Laughter will have wrinkles earlier
than those with grave, sedate faces. Indi-
gestion will produce crows feet in children,
and a little worry through life will make an
habitual frown develop into tiny wrinkles
between the eyes. But an habitual grin or
laugh on the face produces wrinkles more
than sickness or disease. The invalid of
many years will often have a perfectly
smooth face, unmarked with wrinkles
This is due partly to the fact that her
melancholy life prevents her from laugh
ing much and no creases are made in her
immobile face.
Wrinkles are often expressive of an in
ward character which gives true dignity
to the face, which is far more to be desired
than the perfectly smooth, expressionless
face. The wrinkles which come from care,
trouble and irritation are the only ones
which mar the face without giving any
compromising value. They should be
avoided by every woman, for it makes her
old before her time and robs her of her
beauty. The way not to have such creases
is not to think of trouble, but to look on
the sunny side Of life.-Yankee Blade.

Few Old Sailing Vessels.

From a table in the reports respecting
casualties to ships, which shows the ages
of vessels, it is surprising to find how very
ancient many of the craft still doing serv
ice really are. Thrty-nine sailing vessels
are between 80 and 90 years old, eighteen
are between GO and 20 years. thirty are be-
tween 20 and 100 and six are actually above
a century old.
While these numbers represent only a
small proportion of such ancient mariners
still sailing the wintry seas" it must not
be thought they refer only to barges or
craft engaged in river or inland naviga
ton.
The Juno of Beaumaris, built 100 years
ago, met with her mishap while on a coast
ing voyage, and the Endeavor, Plymouth
d still older craft, In seeking to act up to
her name, came to grief while on a voyage
from DunBirk.
What is more surprising still. the same
casualty list contains the names of two
steamships, one above sixty years and the
other above ninety years old
On consideration, however. it Is obvious
that these vessels must have originally
been built as sailing vessels. as the periods
named carry us much farther back than
the date at which the Sirius made Ler IA
nous voyage across the Atlantic.
With regard TO the ancient sailing yes
sells, too, they must have little or nothing
of the original structure left. AS long as
there is one single plank left, however. the
vessel retains her identity.-St Louis Me
chanic.

Are Women Rude When shoppinr.

Men are apt to make uncomplimentary
remarks concerning the way in which
woman conducts her shopping. She is
represented as rude, unmindful of the
trou BILE she gives the assistants; that half
the time she does not intend to buy; that
she does not know her own mind Indeed
she is shown to be very disagreeable be-
ing. But there are always two sides to
story, you know.
MANY of US" says one of the maligned,

made, because we tried to decide quickly,
too quickly it proved. We spent the
whole winter regretting that wretched

you anything to make a sale They would
try to make you believe you look like an
angel in a hat that is positively ugly on
you. And SO to be equally polite, are we
to take the article at once and give all our
friends the nightmare for the rest of the
season.

are the ones to be suited and those waiting

Books and Costly Bookcases.

A person who has noticed the absence Of
books in many otherwise completely
equipped houses says of it: Look around
your friends houses today and figure up
what the rugs, ornaments, curtains and
other beautiful things cost, and notice that
in many of their handsome rooms books
are wholly missing or confined within
case almost double in value of all the
books it contains. 1t cannot be that these
people who have card receivers, fans, paper

For whom the Gosn.I I. Meant

The Gospel is meant not only for the
wise and talented, for those Of quick and
keen mental powers, but just as truly for
those Of imperfect culture, for the duh and
heavy minded, for the children in develop
ment as well as the children in years. All
that God asks of US Is that each uses Alright
such opportunities and powers as have
been given him. Simplicity characterizes
both the essential nature of the Gospel and
the divinely chosen manner OF applying it
to human needs The wayfaring men,
yea, fools. shall not err therein. "-Congre-
gationalist.

The schoolmaster in David Copperfield.


Owen Thomas. a schOOlfellOw of Charles
Dickens, who contributed much informa
ton to John Forster concerning the early
portion of the great novelist's life, writes
that Mr.. Creakle, in David COpperfeld,"
was undoubtedly portraiture, in some
respects, of one of the masters of a school
which they both attended in Hampstead.
Dickens and Mr. Thomas were present
when this gentleman said, in his peculiar
manner, to boy whom he had just caned,
"Ah, you may rub, sir, but you will not be
able to rub that out, words which, slight
~ altered, are used by Mr.. Creakle on
similar occasion to his scholars.
But Dickens did not seek to describe the
personal appearance OF the Hampstead
master, the latter having been rather good
looking "In short" says Mr.. Thomas,
you may take it that many Of his charac-
tiers. especially leading ones, were taken
from living persons, only, to use the words
of Mr. Dickens to me III reference TO one Of
them, whose original knew, a little col
ored.' | may be allowed to add that Mr..
Dickens told me he had felt it a pleasure
to have been in after years of some service
to our cid schoolmaster; and also to one Of
the assistant masters" London Tele-

The ice box should have double sides,
bottom and lids, with the space between
the castings filed with a nonconducting
substance. The inner lid should be air
tight, and the drainage pipe so arranged
as to carry off instantly every drop of
water from the melting ice. Perfect drain
ing is more of Importance than exclusion
of the air, but the pipe to be of the greatest
value should be fitted with a trap or COW
cred in such a manner as to prevent the
cold air escaping. Waste is also prevented
by wrapping the ice with thick blanket or

Airing the Bed.

How long shall we air our bed7 Just as
long as possible. a good way to air the
clothes is to place two chairs at the foot Of
the bed, two or three feet away, then draw
the clothes from the bed over them
smoothly, leaving the mattress bare. In
this way the mattress gets aired and the
clothes have better chance than when
thrown over chairs The pillows are beaten
up and placed in the air, but not in the
sun, as that makes them smell oily.-Good
