Children aud Speech.

Parents amuse themselves with the pho
net;c disabilities of their offspring and
often take no pains to seek for remedy In
cases where children come to years far be-
yond babyhood without mastering the
mechanism Of speech This Is probably
especially usual when the parents, one or
both, have been themselves neglected, be-
cause imperfect enunciation Is then re-
garded as consecratcd to the new god
heredty and is treated with respect not
unmingled with admiration.
1t even happens that men and women
who cannot speak their native tongue with
ease believe themselves to be rather superior
to those who can. It is almost a mark of
caste to shirk the difficulties OF the letter
"r." and there Is n charm in avoidance OF
the struggle with "th," which is absent
wheu it is only "h.' solus, that speaker
fails to grapple with.
The matron who addresses her grownup
son and daughter as "Arfur" and "EGel'
and is responded to rs Mower breathes
in an atmosphere altogether apart from the
lady who owns "Erbert" and "'Ilda," and
the iufantile pronunciation of the words
seems to suggest her own juveni!ity, SIM
plicity and sweetness.
good exercise was that to which Mr.
Allix Wilkinson induced the Gx-queen o1
Hanover to submit herself:
"She came out quite victorious over the
following sentence: 1 thrust three and
thirty thousand thorny thistles through the

The White Apron.

There is something symbolic of neatness,
purity and womanlincss in white apron,
and parldoxical as 1t may seem it is also
the most coquettish article of attire which
a woman can wear. The woman of fashion
who has an eye for artistic effect dons n
ridiculous little bit of rufiled swiss or chif-
fon and ties 1t about her waist with satin
ribbon. It is the piece de resistance of her
toilet. The men for whom she pours tea
may whisper compliments about her eyes,
her ha,s, her little hands. but they regard
her apron with masculine awe and rever
tnce.
The white apron is a relic Of sweet, old
fashioned days. when woman's sphere was
home and the babies ut her knee repre-
sented her mission. She didn't go slum
ming, nor teach Cinnamon, nor salvation
lze, but made tho earth moro beautiful
simply because she existed. .e

Brightening u Room.

If the dining room is small and dark and
has no communication with direct air and
sunlight, pull down the gloomy paper and
substitute cream white, pearl, atmospheric
blue, custard or some such cheerful and
magnifying tint. Wall papers sell as low
as cents roll, and although the quality
may not be desirable it is preferable to the
finest grade in dark or heavy tants. Don't
carpet the floor. Have it stained or painted
light brown and put a rug under the .t;,-
bic, not large enough to interfere with the
chairs, but sufficient to rest the feet. Put
thin, white muslin shades on the window,
and if means allow drape over them the
thinnest curtains. In some of the finest
houses in New York. for summer service,
the windows are hung with blue holland
to keep out the sun, white linen to temper
the light, and white tarlatan drapery for a
pretty summery effect This gauzy cotton
stuff is put ON quite full, rolled on the edge
to keep it from raveling, and caught back
with huge rosettes of the same.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

The Guest Chamber.

A pretty little trife for the guest cham
Der seen at the woman's exchanges carries
with it u hint that should not be over
looked.
1t Is card about the size OF q page OF
note paper. usually rough surfaced and
ragged edged, with border or headpiece
Of delicately painted flowers or leaves, and
following suitable illuminated quotation
is written in graceful text down the card
the three words Breakfast" Luncheon"
and DINNER" Space is left after each to
fill in the time of serving each NEAL and
the lettering or careless guest is thus pref
tily reminded that system must prevail
even when yelled and adorned with hospi-
tality. A futher bit of useful information
is conveyed from the bottom of the card,
where the mail hours are duly recorded.
1t is really the exceptional guest cham
Der that considers any but the toilet neces-
stiles OF its occupants. To find one with
books, bed candle and writing materials is
a boon, and when, as was the case recently
in a suburban residence, to these comforts
were added a suitably stocked workbasket
for the taking Of the ''stitch in time and
a time table conspicuously posted Of the
: train service to and from town, the com
plement seemed SO complete that the host
ess was specially congratulated upon her
forethought.
Apparent awkwardness and thoughtless-
ness in guests often arise from Ignorance
Of the family ways and customs. No one
more warmly welcomes even crumbs OF
knowledge in this regard than he who Is
being entertained.-New York Times.

To Clean Turbid Water.

DR.. Lehman recommends to housewives
q simple means of precipitating turbid wa
ter by the use Of solution of alum. One
hundred and thirty grains of crystallized
alum dissolved in ono pint of water will
produce large quantity Of the purifying
LIQUID, as it is only used in the proportion
of one to two grains of alum to gallon Of
water. That would require three teaspoon
fuls of the solution to every two gallons of
water. After stirring it in let the water
stand a few hours, and it will be perfectly
clear and ready to be poured off from the
thick deposit in the bottom. If it is then
filtered, it will be in good condition for
drinking.
Even without filtering it will be safe to
drink the water if it has not stood very
long, as it has been found that the addition
of the alum greatly reduces the number OF
bacteria. The taste is not affected, as the
alum decomposes in the water and sets free
compounds that attach themselves to the
muddy elements in the water and cause
them to settle. This remedyis not for con.
taminated, water which should always be
boiled.-New York Post.

Woman,a Noblest Career.

An American lady interviewer asked me
the other day what thought the noblest
career for woman. said l thought it
was marriage. She seemed astonished.
That Is, in fact, my deliberate opinion.
More, believe that If the question were
put to any woman who has lived the ma
tron's life and has sons and daughters
grown up whether, looking back, she would
still deliberately choose to be the mother OF
these sons and daughters or would become
a journalist, novelist, teacher, nurse, artist,
typewriter, clerk, cashier or any of the
many occupations open to women she
would without the least hesitation declare
that she would prefer the matron's life as
the noblest and highest lot open to women.
To enrich the world with noble children,
to give the country more brave hands and
honest hearts-what, in comparison with
this, is the independence of the single WON
an or her work-her average work? Do
not talk about the isolated cases of genius.
Talk about the average work. That all
women cannot marry is perfectly true; that
women are making it every day more diff
cult to marry by taking mems work is also
true.-London Queen.

Woman Guards Herself Nowadays.

Some friend of womankind calls atten-
tion to the fact that the woman Of today il
immeasurably greater and better than the
old time type we are supposed to admire,
for woman was surrounded and shielded
and protected in every way, practically put
under glass case and worshiped. Per
haps once in her life etemptations came. She
who triumphed was celebrated in poems
and legends ever after. Nowadays women
are pretty we'll left to look after them
selves, and the failures are SO few that
they, not the triumphs, are recorded.

How Victoria Eats.

Queen Victoria has evidently pondered
we'll on the saying that man must eat to
live. At Balmoral, where she lives in tho
simplest possible way, she begins her day
ut o'clock with tea, chocolate or coffee
and dry toast At $50 she has breakfast,
small trout freshly caught from the River
Dee being an invariable dish. At 1880,
after her morning outing, she has little
refreshment- egg beaten up in milk,
some soup and little fruit. She lunches
at2. Later in the afternoon there Is the in
variable afternoon tea, and between and
| 0 dinner is served. Thus on six meals day
does her majesty manage to sustain nature.

WOman's Power.

Many Of the more desirable social changes
that have taken place have been brought
about by women. They are naturally more
deeply interested in home affairs than
men. These being at the bottom of oil so
cial advancement and reforms, it is quite
clear that to the women is due large
share of credit for the social advancement
of any nation. Her exalted position in this
country accounts for the improved social
condition of which we are inclined to boast
when talking with representatives of coun-
tries where she is still regarded as being
greatly inferior to man.
Kate Burlington Davis, editor of The
Housekeeper, in discussing the tendency in
women to go it alone in the world, has this
to say:
There are two reasons why women are
in open revolt against old conventional
barriers-frst, because in the enforced
economic dependence of woman in her re-
lation with man a most dangerous possi-
bi]ity developed into degrading fact.
Woman became subservient through self
sh interest, and man became masterful
through the tyranny of the money power.
The second reason is in the selfish tendency
evolved in the temptation to luxury of
modern civilization. Statistics show a
very large number of men who no longer
seek the manly privilege of sustaining a
home and enriching life by domestic joys.
There is nothing left to woman If she would
sustain her self respect save the acquire
mcnt OF economic independence.
1--WE need not fear in this revolt of wo-
mank md any retrogression Of human in
terests, for It is the courage Of the pure
soul that is leading woman forth to battle
for right to her self respecting individuality.
Woman is finding her strength, and man
must rise to new heights to win anew the
devotion of all her life energies When this
type Of woman accepts the wifely relation,
| she will give us manly SONS"

A Spanish legend would seem to claim
for that romantic land of hidalgos and
senoritas the origin of the bridal orange

tree, of which he was very proud, and Of
which the French ambassador was ex-
tremely anxious to obtain slip. The gar

obtained cutting Of the orange tree and
sold it to the diplomat for high price, aft
