To begin with. women sit too much, and
women stand quite too much. Nothing is
so wearisome as standing about" even to
the we'll trained body that has been drilled
into good poise, and sitting is not resting,
however cleverly women may delude them
selves on this point.
The young girl who desires to keep away
crows feet and that jaded look we all know
30 well and to retain the su%ppleness and
adorable bloom OF extreme youth should,
when off parade or off duty, as the case
may be, and in her W room, make the
couch or the floor her habitual resting
place.
Absolute repose comes to the tired mus
cles only when the body is in a reclining
position, and absolute repose comes to the
overstrung nerves only when the muscular
system is perfectly at rest-relaxed.

Artikfic Salt Cellora.

Old fashioned salt cellars are here again,
but in such artistic designs that we greet
them as novelties. The silver cats and
dogs, with their perforated heads, no longer
stand guard over each plate at the table.
Their successor is much more artistic. The
very latest salt cellars are bought by the
dozen. They are shaped like a pansy, with
the curled over petals in frost tipped silver
and gilt. The salt spoon is q tiny affair.
Its handle is twisted gold. with the bowl
an exquisitely shaped enaineied< pansy,
which looks like a stick pin with a deep
center. Tinted glass salt cellars encased in
silver fligree are used by the ultra fash

The most effectual way to air beds and
b%elclothing is to throw the clothes over a
chair and lift the mattress partly over the
footboard in Il round, hooplike fashion, and
ii a feather bed is used, pull it off upon a
chair. Then open the windows and door,

the room, aud let it remain so for two or
three hours or even longer. Beds thus aired
arc always healthful, and will induce sound
sleep in their occupants. Each mem Der Of
the family should be trained TO do this
daily, and never allowed TO leave the room
until it is SO arranged. Boys az well as girls

Useful Little Paper Bags.

Save thesmall paper bags carefully which
groceries come in; they are useful in many
ways. Slip the hand in one when you black
the stove and you will not soil it. When
flies abound, slip them over the clean lamp
chimneys during the day. After fruit is
canned draw them over the can and label
them plainly. The action of the light causes
more fruit to spoil than any other one thing.

Early Prejudice Against Women Doctor

Early Prejudioe Against Women Doctors.
Medicine as a profession for women is less
than 50 years old. DIR. Mary Zakrzewska
of Boston has recently published an inter-
esting account Of the early struggles Of tho
pioneers in this particular field. Harriet
Hunt and Elizabeth Blackwell were stirred
by the idea that an important work might
be done by we'll instructed medical women.
The naturalization of this view resulted in
complete social ostracism, impossible to be
endured by any but the strongest and most
courageous women. No woman doctor ever
earned a living before 1860. No respectable
family, in any commonly respectable neigh
borhood, would let roons to a woman ply
stefan. Even when friends gave her shelter,
a business card or sign was not allowed.
The lack OF practical training was really
the stumbling block and the u of all
this prejudice. Medical Record.

Yoalsum,s Piebald CALF.

YoalSum's Picbald CALF.
The piebald calf that superin-
tends the publication of the thing
known down at the forks of the
road as the Times made a SANDER
GUS attact on the editor of the only
newspaper published in Yoakum
and then hearing that the gentle
man was righteously indignant and
had sworn to severely chastisc it on
sight, this valient, piebald calf
took to the tall weeds and went in
to hiding for three days, skulking
about through the alleys and by
ways and going mile out of its
way to keep from meeting the man
it had slandered face to face in the
streets. During this panic it had
a boy hired to bring it its meals
out to hay stack a mile from
town. Here this bold fearless. un-
branded calf established its head
quarters and slept in mortal terror
of awakening to find itself in the
dread clutches Of its foe. AT the
expiration of three days it skulked
back to town and skulked in at the
back way, terror stricken and ready
to make wild stampede in case it
should catch sight of the enemy.
1t was delighted beyond measure,
however to find that in this space
of three days, during which time it
had been in hiding, the people and
the editor had entirely forgotten
that there was such an animal in
existence as the aforesaid calf
Learning this the calf was greatly
elated and even plucked up cour-
age enough to venture out on the
streets again. Still, it is said, when
the calf meets the editor in the
streets, it is observed to get panicy
and roll up its eyes like a mule
with blind staggers and it is said
to be losing flesh fast. Poor little
thing, who said we ever thought of
useing a gun on this playful, harm
less little creature? Perish the
thought; when you come to Sinner,
Innocence, we will meet you at the
freight depot, with painful of nice
white salt, q bucket of clabber and
an armful of fresh green grass and
after we have succeeded in getting
| that scared hunted look out ef-Yo&F
eyes we will turn you over to our
enterprising butchers, Messrs. We'll
hansen e. Richter, who will make
you up into nice, tender veal,
mince meat and outlets and so you
would be put to some use. AS you
are, you are a dead loss to society
on account of pasturago, etc. You
were intended for veal in the first
place, your destination is the
butcher shop and we speak for q
side of your ribs in advance. We
always were partial to calf and
could eat one three times a week i.
they were all as nice, tender, juicy
and tempting as the one that
hourishes on the green grass and
skinned milk of Yoakum.
