ANaLo-sAxoN GIRLS.

Few things arc more noticeable at as
semblies in these islands "of fair women
and brave men," as the poet says. than
the improving physique of the Anglo
Saxon girls. Whatever class may be the
subject of observation in this regard the
same feature seems to prevail thf oughout.
If Lords cricket ground, for example,
be visited at the time of great gather
ing OF the aristoc-ncy, as on the Oxford
and Cambridge cricket match, or the
Eton and Harrow match, the one thing
which cannot fail to attract attention is
the remarkable predominancc of tall and
d'vincly fair girls who are to be seen
gracefully strolling over the grounds
during the intervals between the in
nings. Then if the scene be changed
and the observer makes his way into the
parior OF middle-class persons, the Same
prevailing "tallness" Of the fair attend
ants will again meet his gaze. Thus
abundant evidence is forthcoming that
this IS by no means an isolated feature
of the maidcns or the United Kingdom,
but that it prevails, on the contrary,
throughout all classes. Judging, how
ever, from the prominence, which it has
Saiheu during the past three years, there
is quite the possibility that it will de.
vciop IN time into racial characteristic.
The WOMEN of ancient Laced@mon, we
are told,were specially instructed to 'put
on" Us much muscle and US little cloth
ing us possible. Each of these instruc-
lions, however, was given, so to speak,
as matter OF business, in view of the
warlikc virtues which were required to
be fostercd by the race. But England
IS not Sparta, and the tallness and good
physique of the girls in this country are
features which are not woocd as the result
Of commands, from the Secretary of State
for the War Department, but merely as
the outcome. of healthy exercise, INDUCED

lawn tennis and other outdoor games in
this country are producing an effect upon

A HELPFUL VIRGINIA GIRL.

In the family of George Munday, liv-
ing between Waterford and Wheatland,
the father, mother, a son, and daughter
were all down with the grip, leaving
only the youngest daughter, Florence,
about eighteen years of age, to aid the
rest. She attended to the household
duties aud the sick, and for two or three
days fed and curricd six horses, fed aud
MIXED six COWS, and also walked through
the snow about II quarter of mile car
rying corn, and when she reached them.
feeding it with straw and fodder to thir-
ty head of cattle. Having to 90 to u
neighbor to send for ductor for one Of
her sick, their condition was discovered,
and OF course there was plenty of help

A LADY UNDERT. KER.

Buffalo, N. Y, is blessed with a
"lady undertaken" who takes charge of
every detail of funeral, embalmins tie
body, draping the funeral apartments,
furnishing the shroud and casket, chairs
and carriages, arranging the flowers, aud
purchasing the mourning outfit for the
entire family. In the latter capacity she
has great advantage over the man I'M
dertaker, who has vague and unsatisfac :
tory ideas on rnching and borders,
doesn't know the fine distinctions in
mourning etiquette between the suitable
garb for maids and matrons, and is no
use whatever in deciding which style in
mourning bonnets is most becoming.
Many people prefer to have this little
woman attend women and children es-
pecially, and she is doing a thriving
business, which she intends to supple
mcnt in the spring by mourning mil
linery establishment, from which to sup
ply promptly the requisite costume at
short notice. st. Paul has woman en-
gagged successfully in this solemn bust
ness. Chicago has also one who has re-
tired very wealthy, and Rochester, boasts
q woman who acts us assistant under
taker.-New York Sun.

FASHIONS IN MOURNING.

Deep mourning Inns but little to do
with fashion and is subject to few
changes. We have, therefore, not much
to say about it, except that heavy Eng
lish crepe is worn in larger quantities
than ever, the whole front of the dress
being frequently covered with it, while
very deep border goes around the foot,
and that crepe wells are SO long and
ample they fall almost like IL mantle at
the back, nearly to the foot of the skirt.
But in slight mourning many pretty nov
cities are to be noticed this season. A
dress of black silk or wooden material
may be rendered very elegant by a
Gretchen belt and necklet of black vel
vet, studded all over with jet. The belt
is peaked top and bottom aud finished
with handsome jet fringe, deeper in
front and at the back than at the sides.
The necklet is u PLAIN band of velvet,
studded with jet and trimmed with a
fringe like that of the belt. The two
combined make any black dress look
very stylish. -New York Herald.

and the glasses employed are deem
concaye and large in size. The effect
is to give the ground in front of the
horse the effect of heing raised; the
animal, therefore, steps high, think.
Ing he is going up hill or has to step
over an obstruction in front of him.
Ii the system is persevered with when
the animal is young the effect is said
to be marvellous. Many horses, it is
alleged, could be materially improved
by visit to the optician, and it is
recommended that the sight OF all
norSes should be tested. This partlcu-
iarly applies to valuable hunters,
which are found OFFICIALLY unfit for
their work. when a little artificial as.
sistance would make them as useful

TO CLEAN wnlrE ErRs.

Very few people know how to clean
white furs, aud it may. therefore, be of
interest to learn the method recommend
ed to u Bazaar writer by the famous st.
Petersburg (RussiO iurrier, Cubm is.
The furs must first be washed with tallow
soap and lukewarm water, and then
rinsed with weak solution of
crystals of soda, all the soapsuds being
removed from the fur with hard brush.
Should there be dark stains, such is nre
made by carriage grease or other fat SUBJ
stances, on the fur, it will be necessary
to rub them with, benzine Il few hour,
before washing it. 1t sometimes hap
pens that'in spite of this treatment ths
furs retain yellowish hue; this can,
however, be removed by bleaching them
in the following manner: While still
damp the articles must be immersed in
very cold water, in which four pounds
of sulphuric acid OF natroa have been
diluted. After an hours soaking, four
pounds of sale acid are added to the
mixture, which must be we'll stirred.
Whilst the furs arc in the fluid the YES
sci containing them should he tightly
covered, SO us to exclude the action OF
the air on the acids. Lastly, the furs
must be rinsed several times with pure
cold water.-Boston Transcript

THE SCIENCE OF BUSTING.

1t is science, since the doctors have,
discovered for us that the furnishings of
our houses are the camping ground Of
lively unknowables called bacteria, writes
Helen Watterson. The removal of dust
is, therefore, not only performance Of
csthctic necessity, but OF the greatest
sanitary Importance as well. 1t is not
going too far to say tina. there is Just NJ
much need of classes in the hygicnes VI
cleaning and busting us there is of coole-
ing classes.
The simple displac ,mcnt of dust isn't
busting, aud the whislling of the feather
dustcr is no more evidence of cleanliness
than the possession of many books now
adays is IN evidence of learning. A
room is busted only when tic dust is
taken out Of the room and that is done
only when it has been carried out of the
room. This is done by using soft,
slightly dampcncd cloth to dust with
and by wiping the surface OF each article
slowly and with care not to throw the
particles of dust up in the air, whence
they will settle again instantly some.
where else.
The utility Of the fcather-du,ter ex-
cept for walls is to be doubted, and even
for walls soft cloth is better. A thin
silk cloth or n piece of cheese-cloth
makes n good dustcr. So does soft,
firm wooden cloth, but linen and cotton
flannel leave lint behind them. Ono
woman uses all of her WORKOUT silk
stockings for busting and still another
makes loose mittcns out OF old wooden
which she puts on rs busters. A turkeys
wing is admirable to get the dust out of
chinks and between rails and chamois
gives last polish better than anything
else. The best polish in all the world
to keep furniture from looking dingy is
the following. Two tablespoonfuls
cotton seed oil, one tablespoonful turpen-
tine. Instead of cotton-seed oil grout oil
and good vegetable oil may be used.
This should be well rubbed into the
wood and then last polishing given
with chamois. This is the recipe of u

and soft,and is made in pure white, light

TREND OF FEMALE THOUGHTS.

The latest index of the British Museum
furnishes some interesting data rs show
ing that while women, as subject of
interest, as problem to be solved, as n
possible outcome, was never of more i'm
portance than during the past ten
years, the aspect of her case changed
materially in that time. These indexes
are issued every five years and include
the subjects of all books published in
every civilized country during tho pre-
vious five years. A comparison of the
two indexes issued during the past de-
cade shows that works on the social po-
sition of women increased in the last
half of the decade, as compared with the
first, from fifty-tour to seventy-two; on
education of woman, from eighteen to
twenty-five; on cmployments OF women,
from nineteen to twenty. seven; on wo-
mems clubs. from three to ten. Dress
reform, on the contrary, decreased from
seventeen to four, and works on dress,
dressmaking, needlework and cmbroid
cry, seventy eight to sixty-four. These
figures are more significant from the fact
that books on tailoring in its higher as
poets, rs indicated by such title as
philosophical Work of +. Pickle on
Cutting Gcntlcmen's Dress increased
from twelve to twenty-three. Perhaps
the most significant decrease is that from
11G to seventy in works on marriage.
From this it may be argued that women
of to-day are much more interested in
questions of education and employment,
and of making for themselves place in
the world than they are in dress, fashion
or any feminine vanities, and that mar
riage alas difficult as it is to believe. is
having less place in their thoughts than
of yore.

The eustachian tubes are small tubes,
ABOUT two inches long, leading from the

throat most commonly follows up these
little ducts to the middle ear, thickening
their mucous linings SO rs TO completely or
partially close them up, producing partial
deafness. The roaring and cracking sounds
which catarrh subjects so frequently COM

Pe-ru.na is the best, II not tho only,
remedy that will cure these cases. Taken
regularly according to the directions OH the
