SOME LESSONS.

A young New York woman, who appar.
emily loved her husband and baby, took
poison and died the other day, because, as
she said, she could not learn to cook and
to sew well, and therefore felt that she was
not as useful and helpful as she ought to
be.
This poor woman was unduly sensitive,
and had she lived little longer
she would perhaps never have COM
mitted suicide for the reasons she did,
1t is to be hoped that her cad end
will teach the lessons it ought to. She
felt that her life was q failure because abe
couldn't do what she thought was her duty
to her husband and child. She thought
they ought to have well prepared and well
cooked food, and that their clothes ought
to be we'll attended to by her. That she
did think 80, and that she killed herself on
account of her bslief shows that the old
ideal of wifely duty is still In existence,
and leads to the fear that 1t may eoimpress
itself on other wives that they may be un-
able to stand its pressure. We hope this
will not be the case, and that wives will
not dwell too much on the need of good
cooking and good sewing. We advise
them to bear this sad case in mind and
not become so immersed in the study
and practice of household duties that
they cannot find time to talk, to visit the
dry goods stores, to call on each other, to
take frequent trips away from homo, to go
to the theatre, and in other ways divert
their minds and thoughts from a too deep
perception of duty and a too severe sense
of obligation. And as for husbands, we
advise them not to in any way give their
beloved wives any excuse for committing
suicide on their account. They should not
complain. They should eat what is set
before them. They should learn to do
plain cooking at least, and fancy cooking
If they can, so as to give their sensitive
and hard worked wives a rest
when they need it. They should
also learn how to sew. No man
should feel obliged to go around with his
trousers held up by pin or a nail because
he can't sew, and because his wife is too
busy to sew. He should learn to sew and
thus protect himself and her.
If women have begun to commit suicide
because they can't be good, useful and
helpful wives, it behooves men to brace up
and be such coed, useful and helpful hus-
bands that there won't be deficiencies in
The house for wives to remedy. Then the
wives can be free from care and free from
any sharp sense of duty undone.

FASHION NOTES.
H ats and Bonners of All Sorts.

Hats and Bonnets of All Sorts.
In what seems to be an almost crazy
search for novelty, the milliners are now
putting one hat right on top of another,
the upper one being one Of those fat
pieces of straw like a table mat. 1t is
curved down and is made fast to the un-
der hat and you have a sort of manssrd
roof effect. The under hat is anything
you like, only the crown must not be too
high, and the trimming peeps out from
under the other hat. till one is reminded of
the pictures of chickens creeping out
from under a coop. The hat sketchsd
here is of quite q different sort. It Is
made of black straw and the crown Is two
inches high in front and one and half

to furnish light motive power, are safe and
are not costly, If allowance be made for
convenience of application and for the
fact that there Ia no waste except by use.

Lavender has suddenly appeared in
South Australia, the plant epringing
luxuriously over large area of black
swamp in the south of the colony. At
first the settlers thought the plant was q
weed, but on finding out it's true nature
they resolved to cultivate lavender on q
considerable scale, with the view of estsb-
fishing regular psrfumery trade.
The New York Exchange for Women's
Work, which was organized in 1878, to
provide employment and furnish counsel
to women whom misfortune had made de-
pendent, has done a great work in prscu;
cal way. 1t has sold more than 81, $780,
600 worth of articles, and has established
seventy five exchanges in the United States
and one in Europe The number of women
who have been helped by it is, very large,
and many have been put in the way of per-
nanently earning living.

Mud shoes for horses are common In
certain parts of Washington state, being
used on horses in plowing the low and wet
lands of the valley north of Sumner nearly
every spring. Tbs mud shoe consists of
heavy board about eight inches wide and
from eight to ten inches long, rounding In
front. On this board redhot shoe of the
size worn on the horses foot for which 1t
is intended is placed until 1t burns into 1t
to depth almost sufficient to bury itself
It Is necessary that the shoe have long
band iron to fit over the top part of the
hoof is then attached to the board and over
the hoof to hold the mud shoe solidly to
the foot. One end of the band Is fastened
to the board with screw, which when
frightened holds the board as squarely to
the bottom of the hoof as If it had grown
there. The horses become accustomed to
wearing them, and after day or two ex-
perienoe no difficulty in working in them.
By this means farmers are enabled to plow
land In the spring where without the use
of the mud shoes horses would mire down.
