A COmmOn-Sense Crusade.

BY way Of protest ag linst the mani
fest inconvenience of wearing long
and trailing skirt on the highway, an
association Of sensible young women in
Nottingham, Eugland, have adopted
the fashion of short petticoats for their
walks abroad. This departure shows
how independently girl may fare
through mud and slosh with skirts
several inches above her ankles. The
women of Eugan are persuading fash
ionable tailors to make short costumes
for their out door expeditions natty and
trim, and finished with facing of soft
leather, easily cleansed when splashed.
This costume requires a well.itting
boot, since it necessarily leaves the fool
exposed to view. 1t is to be hoped that
the day of short skirts for outdoor
wear will soon dawn for all healthy
women. For the drawing room moth
ing is SO beautiful as the trained skirt.
1t conveys with it the traditions of the
past, when queens stepped proudly ever
palace floors. Every fair woman is
queen in her own right, and her sweep
ing g ,rments emphasize her stateliness
in The house. But on a sloppy city
street, OF an aDYsmal rural road, Wnat
SO forlorn as the lady clutching frantic
ally at her dignity and the hem of her
best gown, and vainly trying to keep
up with her more fortunate brother or
husband in the race of life? We must
admit that the Nottingham reformers
are trifle in advance of what is abso.
lutely needful. Reformers are apt to
be little too radical. Nevertheless, we
congratulate Them on their courage and
their common-sense, longing as We do
to see thousands emulating their ex-
ample here in free America.-Harper's

Grandparents.

Judged from the standpoint of the
average child, there is nobody so de-
lightful as the average grandparent.
Grandfathers are the jolliest of play
fellows, the most charming of com
paniOns. Fathers are apt to be absorbed
in business, with little time to devote
to the amusement of their boys and
girls, but grandfathers are no longer in
help in making kites and building
boats, tell stories by the hour together;
they can sympathize with "a fellow +"
in his daily trials and triumphs. A
grandfather is very much nearer boy
of five or ten years old than the boys
father is apt to be. He looks through
older yet more childlike eyes, and APP
preciales the boys difficulties and
temptations more readily and more
truly than the younger man does. 1t
almost seems at times as if man must
be grandfather before he entirely
enters into the fullness of fatherhood.
AS for grandmothers, no family is COM
pete that lacks one. A grandmother,
over the way, in the next street, in the
next town, is blessing, but grand
mother resident in the family is gift
for which to thank God fervently. Who
else so tender, 30 sweet, so dear? To
her quiet room Young and old bring
perplexities, to find the patient wisdom
and the ready common-sense which eX-
plain whatever was battling, and devise
a way into freedom from care. Grand
mothers chair is moved into the sun
NEST corner of the kitchen when grave
household enterprises are afoot. 1t is
her receipt by which the Interchangeable
is compounded for the bride, and the
mince-mea prepared for the winters
supply. Grandmother always has court
plaster and witch hazel and arnica and
toothache drops in the little cabinet 10
her room. She can spread poultices
and bind up wounds, and her sweet
words and smiles 90 as far toward heal
| ing bruises as her material remedies do.
Grandparents are accused by their sons
and daughters, with fair show of rea-
son, OF being decidedly more lenient
with juvenile offenders, less sternly
disposed toward discipline, than they
were to their children in an earlier day
They would spoil the grandchildren If
allowed, declare the fathers and moth
ers, serenely confident in their own dis
erection, and quite sure they are right
in their sternly repressive methods.
Never mind. The wheel of time in its
ceaseless revolution is bringing on the
day when the man who now laughingly
reproves his parents for their fancied
weakness will himself stand in awed
pleasure gazing into the round eyes OF
the second generation, and feeling him
self the founder of line. Then it will
be his turn to emulate the grandpar-
ent, as the grandparent has been from
the beginning.-Harper's Bazdr.

Walking the Best Exercise.

believe we do not walk enough. l do
not mean about the kitchen-we do too
much of that sometimes; but out doors.
1t is 80 easy to fall into the habit of
staying in the house unless we have
some place 10 go and then have horse
hitched and ride instead of walking.
Mrs. Lucas, in the American Agricul-
turist, has the following sensible words
to say on walking: "There is nothing
like walking to tone up the system and
to develop muscular .vigor. Dumb
bells and Indian clubs are good for the
arms, chest and shoulders; rowing de-
velops the back and loins; sparring cul-
tivates agility, but as an all-round ex-
ercise, cheap, within reach of all, re-
curing neither apparatus nor in
structor, and easy to be regulated to
any degree OF strength, there is nothing
like walking. II puts all the muscles
OF the body in play. 1t enlarges the
lungs and makes them strong; it ex.
psnds the chest; it strengthens the
digestive powers; it rounds out the calf,
develops the thigh, strengthens the
back and gives size and suppleness and
"spring" to every muscle of the body.
Not dawdling along with limp in your
step, stopping to lean against every
tree in the sun, lingering TO look at the
display of beautiful goods in the show
windows; neither mincing along at a
short, dainty gait, as though your toe
weights were over-heavy and your dig
nifty hung on a hair, but real walking,
with iull, long stride, the body bu.
slightly forward, arms swinging free,
the weight falling lightly on the ball of
the foot, and reboun ding with for
ward spring full of grace and power.
Walking is the natural and normal ex-
ercise, and hurts no woman who rightly
sets about it. A woman who is unac-
customed to vigorous walking, in order
to become a good pedestrian, should
look first to her shoes. These must be
broad across the forward part OF the
foot, Offering not the least obsti uction
to the free movement OF the toes. The
heels should be low and broad; and the
shoe must fit rather spugly about the
heel and instep. The full dress equip
meut should weigh not more than two
and half or three pounds, and must
hang from the shoulders, without any
band, pinned or butoned, about the
waist. The walker must be comfortable
enough to be unconscious of her attire.
A hat that shades the eyes is in order.
So prepared, try any distance that does
not prove fatiguing as an initial expert
ment. 1t will probably be from mile
and a half TO two miles, and must be
walked at brisk pace, three miles and
a half an hour being a good limit.
When this can be done without back
ache or foot WEAKNESS, increase the
distance"

The above is borne out by another no less
popular lady, Mrs. Mary Frances Lytle,
who resides at 2 Hunter Alley, Rochester,
n. Y. In speaking upon the same subject,
she said:
81 was very pale and delicate and had
no color whatever. l also had very bad
leucorrhpa all the time and suffered great
pains at my periods.

Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
MY face is plump and cheeks red, and my
complexion pure.

cellent remedy, l only weighed 81 pounds
now weigh 115 pounds and am still ain
ing. DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is a wonderful medicine. / have
not had any trouble since began taking it,"
This great remedy is the discovery of the
eminent and well-known physician, DR..
Greene, of "a Temple Place. Boston, Mass.
He gives consultation to all free of charge,
and those who cannot visit him at his office,
are privileged to write him all about their
cases and thus get his advice by mail free.
1t is certainly advisable for all to use this
remarkable remedy. which can be procured
at any drug store.

cold is sure. A light wrapping, sufii-
cient to exclude cold wind, while per.
hitting ventilation, gives the best pro.
lection. For instance, II one sits in
heated room while paying visit, or
during the services at church, without
removing any of the many wraps which
phere out of doors, the result is almost
sure to be severe cold, contracted by
the sudden change from the heated
room to the cold air. Sleeping in badly
ventilated rooms, wearing at night the
underclothing which is worn through
the day, late hours, loss of sleep, greasy
food and irregulariiy of meals, all tend
to weaken the system to such an extent
as to render 1t quite incapable of re-
sisting the changes in the weather or
any exposure to disease. While we all
advocate cold and well ventilated sleep
ing apartments, we, at the same time,
must condemn the cold room for dress
ing in the morning. 1t is most un-
healthy, and delicate person might
receive such a shock as to result in fatal
injury. When at all possible one should
have a warm dressing room close at
hand, but If the home is not so luxu-
rious, the family sitting room could be
utilized for this purpose, only very
short time being required by each per.
son. A dressing gown and pair of
warm bedroom slippers should be put
on as quickly as possible, and the
clothes could be carried to the sitting
room, where half the toilet could be
performed in a very few minutes. La
grippe has made such terrible ravages
amongst us that the smile that once
arose when reference was made to it
has now changed into grave and very
serious expression. The family drug
store should be kept we'll stocked, for
it may contain something which shall
prove to be invaluable in relieving the
sufferer before the doctor could be sum.
moned. Four grains of quinine taken
every three hours until the temperature
is normal, should speedily allay the
fever. A mustard plaster or linseed
poultice will be found to be very sooth-
ing when there is much pain, while a
hot water bottle will soon send the
blood flowing properly through the
body. The trouble with many people
is that they never think of taking care
of themselves until the ma ady is an es-
tablished fact.-Good housekeeping.

Ancient Bills OF Fare.

The accounts-mOre frequently found
in romances-of the marvellous feasts
often given to ruling powers of the
oldep times, are eagerly read by the
young, and with great longiDgs to see
them repeated in the present time
Especially are they bewitching to the
young housekeepers, who have visions
of surprising their husbands with bill
of fare copied from ancient times. Yet
they have no idea of what the peculiar
dishes were composed.
A "young lady" writes us: 4" have
read so much of the wonderful feasts
and banquets in ancient times, the al
most fabulous entertainments of the
mobiles and emperors of Greece and
Rome, that am curious to know some.
thing more definite about them. Do
tell me, dear madam, if you can, how
the dishes, which must have cost a
small fortune, were prepared. OF what
did they consist? | am young, expect
ing soon TO go to housekeeping. | am
fond of trying new things and can af-
ford little extravaganza to enable me
to do so. 1t would be such pleasure
to surprise my husband by bringing
him a dainty entertainment, entirely
different from the common run of
things"
You would indeed surprise your hus-
band and guests, my dear child, with
something ".different from the common
run of things" if We could give you
such receipts; but few, if any, have
been recorded, and none that you would
willingly follow. Their banquets were
wonderfully lavish in the amount pro-
vided-but gross-almost beastly in the
composition. Served in barbaric spen-
dor, on polished gold set round with
precious stones, yet there was no deli
cacy or refinement, either in the mode
of preparing or arranging the food

Colds.

Contrary to the prevalent opinion
that colds and coughs are due entirely
to the severity OF the climate or TO some
unexpected change in the weather,
they really arise, in very many cases,
from pure carelessness aud want of
thought. Colds are not inevitable, but
could often be avoided if people would
only use their ideas of common sense
and be reasonable. The custom of multi
ing the neck very closely with furs or
similar protection is extremely danger.
