Girls in others countries are not
always treated as we'll as they are in
America. Here we think it is q pity
to make young girls do hard work,
and, as far as possible the law pro
hibits and forbids occupations that
tend to retard the growth of girls or
to make them weak and sickly. a
boy who is stout and strong has il i'll
his mind that he is going to care for
his sisters some day, if need be. But
there are other countries where it is
not thought unjust, women and girls
do even the hardest work. They must
do every thing that is specially diff
cult and carry ali the heavy burdens,
besides chopping wood, carrying mer-
chandise to market and keeping
house. In italy the girls raise vege-
tables and sell them themselves. IN
Germany and Roumania they work in
the fields. In Switzerland they carve
designs from wood. In Sweden and
n Norway they weave fish nets and
fashion snowshoes. And liz Venice it
is the women, and especially the
growing girls, who are compelled TO
carry buckets OF fresh water upon
their shoulders to sell to visitors and
wealthy residents.

DEATH TO CRlNOLlNE,
First Speech Of the Representative from
AmarOogia County.

First Speech Of the Representative FROM
AmarOogia County.
The new member from Amaroopia
county arose to address the chair. It
was the first time he had essayed to oc-
cupy the attention of the house, and
every eye was turned upon him. Moth
ing was known of his ability as pub
lie speaker, but from the fact that he
was spoken of by the Amaroogia pa
pers as rising man, and that he had
come to the legislature with a majority
of more than thousand over all his
competitors it was conjectured he was
a representative who would make his
mark.
His appearance confirmed the i'm.
preston. He was over six feet high,
straight as an arrow, his eye was keen
and piercing, and he glanced fearlessly
about the house, as if counting trial
of strength with its practiced debaters.
"Mr. Speaker he said, in deep,
commanding voice that rang out over
the legislative chamber like the death
kneu of everything fraudulent, COR
rupt and degrading in American poll
tics, II wish, sir, to give notice that
next Toosday I'm goin' to interdooce a
bill to abolish the blamed hoopskirt,
and don't give durn who knows It'll"

Cream Biscuits.

The secret of biscuit-making is pre-
cision and dispatch. Laggards and
lazy people are not successful biscuit
makers. The best cooks always say
that they simply throw their biscuits
together, and certainly they are not
long about it. The cause of success is
that biscuits begin to bake before the
effervescent qualities of the powder or
soda are exhausted. They are live bis.
cults, and are as light and puffy as
beaten eggs. The best biscuits are
rather small The very large ones are
not likely to be quite so light. They
should be baked in rather quick oven,
and. to be perfect, are a yellowish
brown. They must be thoroughly
done through. or they are the most
unpalatable and unwholesome articles

SPRING GOWNS AND JACKETS
Tho Crinolino Advances and the Blaz G
Holds Its Own.

Tho Crinolino Advances and the Blaz or
Holds Its Own.
The latest indications are that spring
coats will not exceed or even equal the
length of the average coat of the past
winter. These have, in most cases,
been what is called "three-quarter
length" and have reached nearly if not
quite to the knees.
The spring coats can more properly
be called jackets, but in other respects
they will retain many of the features
of the exceedingly becoming winter
styles. A green cloth coat, for exam
pie, has the same pointed colonial cuffs
which have become familiar this year
and it still keeps the eminently dcsira-
BILE little cape of plated velvet, the
color in this case being heliotrope. An.
other new jacket is a modification of
the old blazer, for instead of meeting
at the bust, one side is extended into a
point which fastens under the collar.
As for spring gowns, the skirt wakes
fuller and sitter with every passing
week. Skirts now range from four to
six yards in width.
A really charming afternoon gown is
of blue whipcord. The skirt is fully
six yards in width, and is trimmed with
three longitudinal rows of dark brown
serpentine braid, with an edge of bead
passementerie. The round waist is
buttoned at one side by three large but
tons, and has a wide rolling collar over
bretelles trimmed like the skirt. The
sleeves are decidedly new, being very
full and gathered some distance above
the wrist into a dropping cuff trimmed
with the braid and passementerie.
A gown which is eminently suitable
for spring street wear is Of black serge,
with perfectly plain full skirt and a
bodice opening with wide revers from
a vest striped diagona]ly with lines of
black jet trimming.-N. Y. World.
