Admiral Aveling.

Admiral Aveling, in command of the
Russian fleet, is of French extraction. He
Is IN interesting man, and a characteristic
incident of his career is worth relating.
When many years ago he was cruising in
the Baltic as a midshipman, among the
men on the ship was a former captain of a
man-of-war, broken for insulting the ad.
miral and reduced to a common seaman
The young officer considered it his duty tc
treat the man with all the kindness consist.
ent with the regulations and to try to start
him afresh. A pardon could be granted
only for an act Of bravery. 1.-THE next time
a storm comes on" Aveling said to the
eX-captain, Il will drop into the sea, as il
by accident. You jump after me and VIII
your epalAets.'
h This was agreed upon. Some days later
in a squall, Aveling disappeared. The ex
captain jumped over the ships side, but he
was a poor swimmer, and instead of rescu
ing Aveling he owed his life to the latter.
The commanders report reached the
car, and the eX-captain was restored to his
rank. The captain is now an admiral. The
other day he celebrated the flftieth ami
versary of his entrance into the service by
giving a dinner, to which Admiral Aveling
was invited. In the course of an after din
ner speech the host publicly thanked his
junior colleague for having opened to him
the path of honor.-Paris Cor. New York

The origin of lotteries is to be found in
the custom i~naugurated blythe Roman En-
peror Augustus of distributing at his feasts
sealed packets similar in appearance, but
containing orders for articles of very differ
ent value. In the middle ages the same
method was adopted by the Italian mer-
chants in the disposition Of their wares. A
money lottery called the lotto was insti-
tuted at Florence in 1880 for the benefit of
the state. In Venice half a century later
lotteries existed under public control, and
from that time many of the European states
resorted to the lottery as a means of raising
u revenue.
In the United States the lottery was
from the earliest settling of the country a
familiar means of raising funds, and the
state lotteries were generally fairly man
aged, but the numerous private lotteries
and scandalous abuses to which they gave
rise aroused public opinion against the
principle, and in 1898 n society was formed
in Pennsylvania which advocated its sup
preston, and to the efforts of this society
may be attributed the acts Of most of thu
states in prohibiting their establishment

The New Style Visiting Card.
I From Demorest's.l

And, by the way, Mrs. Van Kortlandt
is using new style visiting card. The
plate of it was made over in London,
whence this novel pasteboard has just
appeared as proper form. It's of the very
thinnest cardboard, and measures exact
ly three inches in length by two in width.
Across the center runs her name, done
in minute old English lettering; and in
the same style of lettering but much
smaller, appears her day in the lower
left-hand corner, and her address oppo-
site.

How to Walk.
From Demorest's.

A short, mincing step, however vigor-
ously taken, falls very far short of the
best step for walking. 1t is better than
no walk at all, for it does stimulate the
circulation and thus exhilarate the walk
er; but it brings fewer muscles into ac-
ton than the long step, and, the labor
not being divided, is more taxing upon
these few, 80 that walk that may
stiffen the muscles of mincing
walker would only throw new life and
vigor into those of the man or woman
who walks with long, free step. This
is one reason why women usually do
not walk with as much ease and freedom
as men. They cannot, of course, be ex-
pected to take SO long steps as man,
but they should endeavor to take them
as long in proportion to their size. They
would then not only walk with more ease
and greater benefit, but it would be east
er to acquire graceful walk, which
every woman certainly would like to
have, but which it is impossible to have
so long as most of the muscles are held
stiff and unused. The only graceful step
is the one which is long enough to be
free and easy; and the only graceful
woman is she whose muscles are made
flexible by judicious use. Hold the foot
so that the ball touches the ground the
instant before, not after, the heel; and
give the impetus for the long step by a
slight spring from the foot which bears
the weight of the body for moment.

Tight Lacing Affects the Kidneys.
from Good Health,

A case of jaundice due to movable kid
ney is reported by DR.. White, a physi-
clan, to Guys hospital, London, which
throws some light upon the fact long ago
observed that jaundice and gallstones
occur much more frequent in women
than in men, and especially in women
who are addicted to tight lacing. In Dr.
Whites case the right kidney was nova
BILE, aud he believed the jaundice to be
produced by the pressure of the kidney
upon the gall duct. DR.. White quotes
Landau as saying that jaundice is more
common in women with movable right
kidney than in others. That the right
kidney is equently movable in women
who are addicted to tight lacing is, we
think, fully established by the statistics
which we have collected and published
upon this subj ct. We found mobility Of
the right kidney in nearly one-third of
the adult women who have been addicted
to tight lacing in 200 women who were
carefully examined upon this point. 1t
is not surprising that so much mischief
results from the common practice of
wearing the clothing tight about the
waist, the only marvel is that still great
er mischief does not follow this PERM
cious practice. The kidney IS displaced
and rendered movable in consequence of
compr ession of the liver, which would
dOubtlt So suffer far more than it does as
the result of the abuse were it not for
the remarkable recuperative property
possessed by this interesting organ.

The Girl Graduate.
From Harper's Bazaar. /

To the woman who ten, twenty, or
thirty years ago left her school days be-
hind her the girl graduate is always a
charming object of thought and solicit
tude. She represents what the elder
woman used to be. In her wistful out
look on the future, her impulsiveness,
her belief in the good things life has to
offer, her emotional intensity, and her
possibilities all untold, she is what her
sister or her mother once was. No one
can predict precisely what will be the
outcome of her present forces. In the
Old-fashioned days, sweet in memory as
lavender sprigs in linen-chest, marriage
and motherhood seemed the most desira-
BILE goal for woman in the flower Of
her youth. The bud of maiden beauty
was to unfold into the perfect rose of
matronly and wifely dignity. Her choice
of a dozen remunerative professions
awaits the fair graduate of the end of
the century. She may be almost any
thing she wills to be, the single bar to
her advancement lying not in any oppo-
sition placed in her pathway by the other
sex, but in her own possible lack of
pluck, patience, or perseve ance. Those
admirable p's must be hers if she would
win success as bread-winner, or wear
lduACAo do dlOHS WollO
toilers. Many girl lamentably fails be-
cause she is lacking not in cleverness,
but in thoroughness, and classroom abil-
ity is not always the ability which steps
to the front in the field of life. We are
not ashamed to confess that we cannot
place any profession on so high plane,
in our estimation, as that old one of max
ing good mans life happy, and bring
ing up children lovingly and we'll. Wife
and mother are queenly titles. No other
profession ranks these when love opens
the door for them in woman's life. We
feel, too, little doubtful whether it is
best for woman to combine in her own
person the offices of house-mother, and
bread-winner. The woman must earn
money and at the same time keep house,
nurse babies, sew up seams, manage SER
wants, and attend to the complex affairs
of an establishment is to be pitied. She
has far too much for one pair of hands
to do. But this opens another question.

Be Ready for Breakfast.
From Buffalo CO numerical.

A friend was asked the other day how
he happened to have his breakfast so on
time every morning that he was as rule
always ready to start for business at the
hour appointed The answer was "For
twenty years have been keeping house
and never in all that time have had to
wait moment for nay breakfast. be-
lieve the reason to be that In all that time
have never failed to be ready for it at
the hour that had appointed. Tell a
servant that you want meal at certain
hour and then be sure yourself to be on
hand at that hour. One trouble in fami-
lies Is that they will say, for instance,
that they breakfast at o'clock; that
means that the will come down when
they feel like it; one morning at half
past s, the next at s, possibly the next
at quarter to 8, and then if the man is
in hurry perhaps he will scold IL he
does not get his meal at a quarter to 8.
The result Is that the servants see that
there is no order in the household and
they do not care to be regular themselves.
| have never yet failed to be on hand at
the hour, and although we have had a
great number and variety of servants l
have never had to wait five minutes for
very early breakfast.

Girls Who Keep House.
From New York Times.1


ssWhen Helen finished school," said a
New Y ork mother recently, 81 felt that
we could get on with one girl, and talked
the matter over with her. / agreed to
allow her $40 month, and would expect
her to do the light busting of the house,
help me one afternoon each week with
her little sisters mepding, make the des-
serts, and q few other prescribed duties.
She was pleased with the idea, and
the arrangement has existed ever since.
She has her money on the first of every
month and l have these services per-
formed as never had them before"
"But," spoke second woman, tiny
daughter does almost the same for love,
or at least she gets no money for it. OF
course 1 give her money whenever she
needs it. don't believe, though, that /
should like to set an actual value upon
her services"
"Why not ?" responded the first speak
er. Nowadays most young women
want to earn money; many of them
usurp the places of others suffering for
it, who have no other occupation than
the one from which they are thus pushed.
Household service is the one sphere
which is not overcrowded; the scarcity
of the supply goes up from every side.
Why, then, may not daughter set a
value upon her skill in even a modest
direction. And labor paid for is stimu-
lating to the ambition and gives pride in
the work. while money earned is sure to
be sensibly spent.
"We all know that great part of the
homemaking is the housekeeping. Our
home has received many added touches
of daintiness and comfort since Helen's
youthful energy and ambition have en-
tered into it. l think many young

women who rush into foolish schemes

They don't because the O. her avenues are

Regular Meals.
From Yankee Blade.

The regularity of meals begins when
the child is young. To feed baby some
thing every time it cries to keep it quiet
is laying the foundation for a dyspeptic.
The habit of eating between meals is
formed, and the child will think it essen
tial that it eats between each meal.
There is little appetite for the regular
meals and the stomach is thus ruined by
this irregularity. Business men are only
older boys in this respect. They eat
when they happen to have the time, or
when they feel like it.
