1t would be a great help to mothers
and would save not only much needless

tinction between a slight and a serious

known physician, ''may be very severe
and may cause much suffering, but in
acute attacks it is not dangerous. eff

complain Of" he said to the patient who
had hastily summoned him, Gin any in
dammatory disease, you would be in
raging fever; if you have no fever you
need never worry"
Most serious illnesses are preceded by
chill This is a symptom that should
never be disregarded, and it is always
safe to put child to bed and stop his
food. Warmth and dieting will be found
to be the best remedy for any ordinary
indisposition, while for the beginning of
serious trouble it is often the only thing
that can be done until the disease de-
elares itself.-New York Tribune.

The Rust1ing Underskirt.

There is no more melodious sound on
earth to the shell-like ears of the WON
an of today than the frou-frou of silken
skirts. It is as soothing to her senses as
the FLASHING Of limpid waters. She is
content to wear a gown of last years
serge, and during the summer she was
satisfied with cambria or gingham, if
only the petticoat underneath, from
which her little feet peeped in and out,
was composed Of the proper material,
which material is taffeta-changea
striped or even plain. Pinked ruffies are
giving place to founces of lace, fes-
TONED and caught here and there with
knots Of velvet or ribbon.
So widespread is this tendency to rus
tie that the shops are offering petticoats
advertised as ''rustle skirts" and the
term catches more women in fifteen
minutes than placard bearing the sign
of 'silk petticoats" in letters foot high
would catch in week.
While the rustling craze lasts it is an
excellent opportunity to lay in supply
of white muslin underskirts, which are
bound to return sooner or later, and the
dainty ones, with their frills and en-
broideries, make one wonder if, after
all, it is not more refined and fitting to
wear pure white undertaking, upon
whose surface every spot can be seen,
and which can be restored to it's original
purity by a flying trip to the laundry.
What would our grandmothers-thos
dear departed dames-have said to our
wearing undergarments which did not
show the dirt?-New York Herald.

WOMEN WHO OWN DIAMONDS.
A Constant Source of Worry, They Are
Concealed in Strange Places.

A Constant Source of Worry, They Arc
Concealed in Strange Places.
Women who own diamonds have them
always on their minds and generally on
their bodies. They go about the streets
like travelling safety vaults. The shrewd
observer will frequently see a placid,
decorous looking woman suddenly press
her hand on some part of her body not
apparently claiming attention and look
of anguish pass over her face. This is
not caused by casual spasm of pain, a
momentary dereliction of some physical
function, but by the horrible thought
that her diamonds may have slipped
their moorings. Some women carry
their diamonds around their necks in
chamois bags, like scapulars; others ad-
just them like porous plasters around
their waists.
Mrs. Thomas Winans, Of Detroit,
pinned 81 900 worth of diamonds on to
her corsets and now is bewailing their
loss. Women seize the most unlikely
places to stow away their diamonds
when not in use, but do not seem to
lessen the chances of loss or anxiety.
Last winter a young woman pinned a
5000 diamond to the bottom of a silk
skirt for safe keeping, A week later,
forgetting this, she put on the skirt and
merrily promenaded the town. When
she sought to wear her diamond it was
gone. After week of anguish it was
recovered by the offer of 800 reward.
She dropped it where it had been picked

A woman with solitaire earrings of
unusual value wore them concealed in
gold balls. In sleeping car these were
removed and she was brought back
home in a piteous state of collapse.
Another woman, believing that her per-
son is in danger from the possession of
such valuable diamonds when travelling,
pins them in the folds of the window
curtains and hides them under the cor
ners of rugs. The next morning she
has forgotten the precise spot and after
ransacking the room in state of COM
parative frenzy and perhaps losing a
train the missing jewels are found
The same woman in Paris hid her dia-
monds in slit in mattress. The dia-
monds after week or SO had made a
considerable tour of the interior of the
mattress. Not being found the maid
who attended the room was charged
with theft and detectives were called in.
A pretty imbroglio was set in motion,
when the enterprising landlady had the
mattress opened, and the diamonds were
found. People who do not own dia-
monds have this compensation and it
should not be lightly valued-they do
not have to take care of them.-New

Patti is hard to please in the arrange
ment of her hair and her maid has
hard time of it in consequence. When
last in Philadelphia the diya's attendant

by the queen of song after some hesita-
ton. The result was SO pleasing to
Patti that she made herself acquainted
with the girls name and history and Of

proposition was not accepted on account
of the young Philadelphia womans ill

turn that the doctors ordered her to

YOUNG WoMEN's CHRISTIAN ASSO-
CATION OF BROOKLYN.

Woman Arctic Explorer.
BROOKLYN is celebrating the completion
of the building of the Young Women's
Christian association, an institution
which promises to do an important work
for Brooklyn, where SO many working
women reside. The building, which is
erected on a site partly purchased and
partly given by the late Congressman 5.
B. Chittenden, is the mUnihcent gift OF
Cornelius B. Wood, and is erected as a
memorial Of his wife, who was sister
of Robert c. Ogden, of the firm OF John
Wanamaker. Mrs. Wood was woman
of an exalted type, and her life was nota-
BILE for its spirituality and charity. Mr.
Wood is a retired banker of wealth. In
December, 1890, Mr.. Wood offered to
give 1925, 900 to erect a building for the
association, provided 100000 additional
was raised as permanent endowment
"This gift, said Mr.. Wood in his letter.
sis made to honor life of charity and
love by husband and children in mem
oriam of one who was friend of work
ing girls, who rejoiced when the associa-
ton was organized, who labored for 1t
and had faith in the grand work it would
accomplish"
Mr.. Wood not only gave $125,000, but
increased this to $142, 900. The endow-
ment fund now amounts to 1922, sol, and
the association is aiming to increase
this to $15O,000. The building is cen
trally located, and INTELLECTUALLY is an
ornament to the city. The vestibule
contains a big open fireplace. Opposite
to this is the secretary's room. On this
floor are also the cloakroom and the en-
frances to the elevators, and through a
great well in the center one can look up
through the six stories to the roof. In
the basement are a medical department
and fully equipped pharmacy, gym
nasium and the intelligence Office. The
library, already filed, is on the second
floor. It is light and airy room and is
furnished with gallery and storage
apartments. A room for typewriters is
off the library, and from this floor access
is had to the gallery of the memorial
hall.
Over the hall on the third floor is a
large lecture room with a seating capac-
ity of 400, and there is a well furnished
parlor connected with the lecture room.
The fourth and fifth stories are devoted
to eighteen classrooms, where millinery.
dressmaking, sewing, embroidery, cook
ing, language, history, bookkeeping,
arithmetic and penmanship are taught
by eighty-seven instructors. The memo
rial hall which has been alluded to is a
beautiful room containing seats for $50
and has been furnished by the Alumaa9
association of the Brooklyn Heights sem
mary. This hall has been named in
honor of Mary A. Brigham, who was 3
famous teacher of her time.-Cor. Phil

It seems as if there were never so
many pretty girls as there are today.
Their youthful loneliness is pleasure
to every one. Even the most cross
grained, soured mortal must feel a thrill
of exultation in life when one of these
fair girls, bubbling over with gay spirits
and animation, passes by. They have a
right to be clothed becomingly, as, in
deed, the city girl usually is. Bright
plaids are made into plain skirts and
worn with silk waists and girdles for
common dresses, the very simplicity of
which is a strong recommendation.

colors particularly suitable for school

used for nice dresses. saw cheviot

In Boston recently. The drift of opin-
ion among the speakers seemed to be
that women should be allowed to preach.
The Rev. Lorenzo Haynes, of Waltham,
said: at is generally conceded that
women are more religious than men
certainly they form by far the larger
proportion of church members. In every
church today they do large part of the
work. Take out that work and not a
church could stand. AS three-fourths
of the church members are. women, /
know of no reason why the same pro-
portion Of ministers should not be WON
en-" Mrs. Jane L. Patterson, Of Rox-
bury, spoke of what is being accom-
plished for the development of women
since Tufts college opened all its de-
partments to them. "There is no cir
cumscribing annex" she said, ''no speci-
fcations to hinder their progress. A
woman may enter as man does. If
she wishes to study electrical engineer
ing, she can have thorough instruction;
if she desires a course in the divinity
school, the chance is given her."
The Rev. Mary 7. Whitney, of Cam
bridge, could not give the same account
of Harvard. She had applied for adj
mission to the divinity school and re-
ceived from President Eliot letter Of
regret that her application could not be
favorably considered, precedent being
against it. A Miss Spoford, of Sioux
City, told her hearers that she had built
up a congregation in Iowa, and thought
that as woman she enjoyed superior
facilities of making her influence felt in
the home life of her parishioners.-Bos-

Woman Suffrage in Vermont.

The great event Of the day in politics
for women is the passage Of the munich
pal suffrage bill in the Vermont house
Of representatives by the large majority
Of 149 to SO. Laura Moore, secretary OF
the w. S. A, writes that the Vermont
men are as kind and generous as are the
men of Wyoming or Kansas, and when
ever we can get enough of the right sort
into legislature Vermont women will
receive justice at their hands.
Close upon this success, however,
comes news of defeat in New Zealand,
where the long agitated bill to give full
suffrage TO women has failed again to
pass. One Of the main points in the dis
pute was the unnecessary proviso in
serted by the upper house allowing
women to use voting papers instead of
going in person to the booths; for when
ever women are allowed to vote they are
ready to follow the rules.

BOstOn's Mixed Club.

Among the new clubs of Boston is the
Unity, a club composed of men and
women whose object is the further
ance of art and the promotion of social
interests. It's members include large
proportion of the artists of the city, and
it inaugurated it's second season by a
water color exhibition.
There are no lack Of mems clubs and
of women's clubs in Boston, as in other
cities; but the club where men and
women meet is as rare as are most ideal
things in this world. The regulation
women's club is rather dreary affair,
as it is now conducted. Instead of hay
ing parlOrs, reading room and dining
room always open, as is the case with
mems clubs, where members may drop
in at any time and meet each other, and
invite friends and enjoy informal socia-
bllity, the WOmen's club unlocks the
doors of it's portals for some one after
noon a week when its members and
guests assemble, and after routine bust
ness, carried on in strict parliamentary
order, paper is read and discussed as
formally as at any public meeting, and
then the club adjourns till another week,
to go through the same routine again.
This may be all very well in some ways,
bat it is not the social pleasure that club
life should render possible.
The Unity club here starts out on
other lines. 1t is, first of all, club for
men and women together. 1t has Sc
cured ideally beautiful rooms on Ar
lington street, overlooking the public
gardens. 1t has fine gallery for pic
ture hanging, and it is based on an idea
that should develop, as the club grows
stronger, into very attractive and
happy social center-Boston Cor. New

Another Woman Arctic Explorer.

Travel in the far north has hitherto
been attempted only by men, but the
year 1892 has witnessed the breaking up
of this monopoly. Mrs. Peary accom-
panied her husband to point farther
north than any white woman has ever
before penetrated, and early last sum-
mer Miss Elizabeth Taylor started from
Winnipeg for the Mckenzie river delta.
and from this expedition she has just
returned. Miss Taylor is by nature a
traveller and by education an artist, and
is greatly interested in natural history.
She started on her trip alone and made
it alone successful to the end.
She is the first woman explorer that
has ever ventured into the polar regions
ON her own account, and with an
amount of pklck and steadfastness that
would have done credit to a strong man
she has carried out her programme and
completed her round trip to the far
northern forts of the Hudson Bay COM
pany. Of the results of her trip we can
as yet know only in q general way.

are not only of great historical and
typographical interest, but also Of

The Daily Morning Scrub.

Soon the days will be crisp and snappy
and when you awake in the morning
and thrust one bare foot out from under
the cover you will give little smothered
couch" and cuddle down under the
blankets again. Every one knows the
kind of morning we mean, when the
window panes are covered with delicate
traceries left by the artist Jack Frost,
and when a compromise is effected by
putting on ones stockings and shoes in
bed
Now it is just this kind of weather
that makes us neglect our toilet. We
hurry through our additions, giving a
little dab at our face-an apology for a
good wash-and get down stairs as
EaiGFly as we can. When we go out
doors we are shivery and creepy; we
don't feel more than half awake, and
we are very uncomfortable altogether.
OF course it is ever so much nicer to
battle IN warm room in tepid watex
and go through every detail of the days
toilet with q leisure that is a positive
luxury, but when the weather prohibits
don't neglect the details on that account.
A cold sponge bath, exposing but one
portion of the body at time, followed
10y quick, brisk rubbing, sets your
blood to tingling, your flesh CLOVIS with
a warm pink tint and you feel like a
bird, not half awakened creature who
has but one aim, and that is hug the
fire.
If the sponge bath seems too lengthy
an operation, at least battle neck, arms
and face well with soap as well as
water. There is nothing so good for the
complexion as a regulation scrub, and
nothing that will so soon make it muddy
as little dab that many women con.
slider equivalent to a genuine BATH

We are often asked what suffrage is,
and what it will do for us. It is the
standard that leads the way, and the
want of it is the bar that stands in the
way of everything else. tits the demand
for suffrage that has helped to bring all
the gains we have already won, and
these in their turn will help to bring
suffrage.-Mrs. Ednah D. Cheney.
