A NEW ERA.
Women Are Taking an Active Interest In
the Public Housekeeping.

Women Are Taking an Active Interest In
the Public Housekeeping.
Women being by training and by long
practice the usual administrators of
affairs in the household it is not re-
Inarkable that they should now and
then take a hand. and this very eff
GENTLY, in the affairs of their township
and county. Women are largely inter-
ested in the question of good roads and
of landscape gardening. Some of them
have attained local celebrity by their
skill in the advancement of both these
branches, and rs they and their chill
drcn are more or less occupied in driv-
ing and walking over the public high
way, and in observing the adjacent
grounds which make or mar the pleas
ure of those who use the highway, it is
appropriate that their taste and skill,
as we'll as their means, should be called
upon in bringing both to the highest
possible perfection.
Women have no more at stake than
men have in the higienic conditions of
street and towns. But they have more
leisure than their husbands and broth
ers. Business does not ineXOrably
drive them to the counting-room or the
shop the instant they have swallowed
their breakfasts and devoured the
morning newspaper The crack of the
whip does not sound on their ears, for
bidding them for an instant to intermit
their vigilance on penalty of being left
behind in the headlong race and furi-
ous competition of the period. OF
course women are busy, desperately
and breathlessly so, but still they pos
sess over men this great advantage that
they can, to some extent, command
their time.
Hence it is very happy thing that
women in many places are looking
wisely and well to the public house
keeping as far as it concerns the neat
ness of the streets the purity of the
water supply, the lurking foulness Of
neglected drains, and the gerri-pro-
ducing catch-alls of neglected cellars.
Women's protective health associations
combine to keep the cleanliness, and
therefore the happiness and well-being,
of the towns up to the highest stand
ard They complain to constituted au-
thorities, they insist that ordinances
shall be enforced, they distribute liter
ature on the subject, they agitate it in
meetings, they create a wholesome
public sentiment on the subject, and,
above all else, they insure success by
persuading every citizen and citizeness
to the duty and the beauty of carefully
preserving intact the healthfulness of
the individual home, of sweeping be-
fore the individual front and back
doors =Harner'S Bazaar.

A SLEEPY OLD VIRGINIA TOWN.
Whore. a Native Says, Nothing Has Moved

"Last fall went over to Alexandria

quality OF the goods, then they must be
put up in some specially desirable way
or in peculiarly adapted and convenient
cases; then they must be carefully
handled. All this means tritiing adj
ditional expense but eae which there is
always trade to meet, Any one who
deviscs some new and attractive way of
putting up goods, and who puts upon
the market high grade products in such
shape that they demand the attention
of critical buyers, is positively certain
of a reputation that will secure an adj
vance of from five to fifty per cent,
above the average cost of ordinary
marketable articles. Where one is not
convenient to market for fresh fruits,
canned goods, jellies, sirups, extracts,
Jams, preserves and the like may be
put up and with little effort will find
a good demand. OF course, immediate
returns are better, but as everybody
can not live adjacent to large consum-
ing localities the next best thing is to
devise way to utilize to advantage the
things we have in hand, and so prepare
them that they can not be sold at
longer range.
In the districts Immediately surround
ing large cities comparatively little
fruit is put up, The grower, for the
most part, works on small scale, and
has neither facilities nor time for pre-
serving it, Quick returns are more de.
sirable, and the fruit is all rushed into
the market; often, indeed, with so
much haste that the quality and man
ner of preparing it are secondary con-
sidera ations, and, as natural result,
such fruit brings low. prices, and
the name of the grower is rarely
heard beyond his own neighborhood
and the commission house to whom he
consigns his goods, and that very rarely
finds it possible to make returns salts
factory to the producer
With their naturally dainty and care
full habits, women are specially adapted
to the growing and marketing of small
fruits and the management Of flowers,
The business is rapidly increasing
among them, and many are making n
most pronounced success. That others
win soon take it up is merely matter

Mrs, Cleveland and the Children.

The line of charity in which Mrs.
Cleveland interests herself is pecu-
Early sweet and interesting one, for it
is devoted to frightening the lives of
little children. Before little Ruth
came into her life Mrs, Cleveland was
interested in the scheme of founding
free kindergartens for poor and neg
lected children, and she is now vice
president of the kindergarten society
of which Richard Watson Glider is
president, and which has established
nearly dozen free baby schools in the
slums of the city. And next to her in
terest in children Mrs. Cleveland's so
licitude for poor mothers manifests it
self On certain afternoons of the
week these poverty stricken mothers
gather in little groups in different
parts of the city and talk about helpful
household topics over a cup of tea.
Women especially trained for the work
preside over these meetings and lead
the conversation in the right channels.
"Teach them how to live" said Mrs.
Cleveland while giving directions at
one of these mothers meetings.
Tell them that there is right way
and wrong way of doing things, and
make them realize that the children
which are sent them straight from the
hand of God must be trained to go back
to him. Chicago Post.
