liquid perfume sold as musk, but also in
very small quantities to give strength and

enough, the blossoms of two native plants

One Is the small yellow blossom of n
creeping vine known as the musk plant. its

commercial perfume called musk. The
other is the blood root. The pure white

Practical Home Training.


When manual training with its domestic
economy department of cooking and sewing
was being urged as necessary part of pub
lie school training, teachers and wise men
brought forth the argument "that it is not
neediul for mothers TO teach these branches
and our girls are being brought up without
practical household training" One summer
lady had 260 girls from offices, stores and
factories to board during two weeks vaca-
ton. At the end of the summer she found
that but nine of the number knew how to
make bed. and many of them made it a
boast that they "had never made q bed in
their lives" Some of them did not even
know whether sheet or blanket should 90

but such as represent our self-respecting
wage-earners-girls who were bOarders,
paying fair price. aud yet who were ex-
pected d TO make their own beds. Mothers
had not trained them. There are hundreds
of bright, intelligent girls of 10, 16, IS and
even older who have never sewed, and do
not know whether thimble should go on
their thumb or forefinger. What kind of
wives and mothers are they TO make?

Portia.

DR.. Horace Howard Furness' testimony
in his reading Of the Merchant OF Venice"
is TO the point that Shakespeare meant to
make the play tragedy. But he grew to
be so much in love with Portia while Gre
atng her lovely personality and wit that he
couldn't bear to serve her so unkindly. So
he turned it into comedy. One ALWAYS
feels that ROsalnd is "the peIfectest her
aid" the most vivid portrait of the modern
woman; and yet where should we have
been at this stage OF the worlds advance
ment without our Portias! Without the
women who have seized the occasion to be
where man was wanting, to be what
their endowed wits fitted them for. 1t is
not the women lawyers who stand as the
hrst Portas of our time. but the women
doctors, learned in the laws of health, and
with womenly tact bringing their welcome
services to those under penalty of suffering,
not merely the eXacted pound of flesh, but
their whole body's loss. The pioneers who
step next after the gracious lady of Belmont
are the Daniels come to medical judgment:
welcome, indeed to the bed of pain. Their
winning of confidence. their womanly ways
and the femininity about a sick bed, OF their
doctors gown, are all gifts OF this nine
teenth century. They, in their untirlng
efforts to stand where science is, have made
the way easier for women in every profess
sion and calling.
