"Do you like children>' How many
times | am asked that question, and always
by women! That depends upon the chill
dren," is my invarable reply. Children
ought to he charming. Nature makes them
little animals with strong wills, which they
proceed to exercise the moment they are
born. What they want they cry and kick
for. When they find themselves masters Of
the situation, domestic despotism sets in
and the whole household submits to a
small but penetrating voice that rules with
a rod Ct iron.
Nature makes these little people abso-
lutely selfish but nature also makes them
absolutely pliable. They are as clay in the
hands Of the potter If pottcrs appreciate
their awful responsibility and properly
mold this human clay, there arise such
children rs call their authors blessed; they
become bulwarks of the state. Leave that
clay to its own evolution, or fashion it ac-
cording to false standards, and what should
be Il joy becomes curse to society.-kate

Knowing that the English are not wont TO

in their employ with special consideration,
the American glll could not understand the
enthusiasm with which the profession of
nursing was regarded.

Real WOnanlincks.

There is among women of a certain tenn
permanent a confusion OF ideas as to woman
illness and septimentality. They seem to
be under the impression that real woman
illness INDUCES publicly in lavish use Of
terms of endearmeut and in that outward
display Of affection which the world will
always regard coldly or sneeringly. Those
qualities which radically distinguish wom-
en- from men are qualities of character, Of
mind, Of soul. They are matters of inner
ltance very frequently, and in any event
are Gratis improved by cultivation, by self
control and by unceasing vigilance and dis
cipline of life.
Affection with its tender manifestations,
its own peculiar vernacular, is something
so sacred that it should be forever guarded
from the eyes Of the scofiing and censorious
multitude. 1t is no more intended for the
platform, for the routine of the public
meeting, for interpolation in the minute.

Charming Girls! Honest Clerks,

The number of large defalcations involv-

was formerly, and in number and variety

an everyday occurrence, and the word in

Potpics and How to Make Them.

No dish known to the average house
keeper is more commonly made n failure
of than the ordinary potpie. DO what she
will, keep it covered ever so carefully, Keep
the water up to the boiling point tiptOe
across the floor to avoid jarring-indeed,
use whatever precautions she may, when
the dish is served the dumping is as heavy
as heavy can be, and the discouraged cook
declares with emphasis that she can't inn
agne the reason why she never can make
good pOtpie. One reason of the failure is
that people try to make it too good They
use cream, butter, eggs and various ingre-
dents, all of which make tho compound
too rich, and, as a matter of course, the
moment the air comes in contact with it
down it goes.
Almost any one may succeed In making
potpe by following the most simple di-
rections; With flour, cold water, IA pinch
of salt and the usual proportion of baking
powder, make paste which may, with
great care, be handled with the hands.
Turn it out on the pastry board and pat it
gently with the hands, using just as little
flour as possible to shape it into cake of
even thickness. Then lay this in the kettle
over the meat and vegetables, which must
be nearly done. Boil rapidly for 10 min
utes: then take it carefully from the fire,
remove all but the gravy, whieh isto be
slightly thickened with flour providing the
dumping has not made it thick enough be
fore, which is sometimes the case. Pour
the gravy over the dish and serve immcdi-
ntely. Made and treated in this way dump

What are your methods Of caring for
cases OF sunstrokes" was asked Of the sur
ceon in charge Of the dispensary yesterday
afternoon "We at once strip the patieEt
OF all clothing" said he, place him on II
wire mattress and freely sprinkle the body
with ice water, after which. in several
cases, we place ice bags on the head and
over the region of the heart. In such cases
the temperature runs from i0l to no and
the pulse from 10 to 100 or over l40, and the
chief point is to reduce these. We gife
bromide of sodium until the quantity of
blood in the head is lessened and reduced
TO normal condition. The patient must
be kept quiet. for there is tendency to de
lirium.
The first symptoms of sunstroke arediz-
illness, then things look green, after which
the blood vessels Of the brain dilate and un-
consciousness soon results. The dangers
OF treatment come from collapse. which
sometimes results from sudden applica-
ton of ice to the vital parts. Then brandy
and atropine must be given until there is a
revival. The chief preventives are to be
found in the selection Of airy bedrooms, for
most cases occur in bed at night, strange
as this must seem. st. Louis Globe
