Important Study for Girls

~ 49, 1~th~
lore the Society for Ethical Culture,
said: 1.-THE richest result of move
ments for the education and advance
ment of women will be in the circle OF
the home. There is no knowledge OF
history or philosophy, no acquaint-
ance with public affairs, no range of
scientific study that may not come in
to play in a mothers education of her
children. We do not always realize
that the advancement of woman
means the advancement of man. Let
us be large and liberal in spirit let us
sac that henceforth man and woman
shall rise together; that great
thoughts and great aims shall inspire
them both; that together they shall
work for the humanization of society,
the civilization of the race.
Now this is q sentiment in which
we entirely agree. The home circle is
the one, to be enriched by woman's
best thoughts and noblest ambitions
not directly she receives a college
education to look about for fields OF
work far away from the surroundings
of her youth or the circle OF her
acquaintance.
We believe in women advancing IN
thought and mental culture so that
they are companionable wives to their
husbands, and instructive mothers to
their children. Let their wider edu-
S cation teach them how to make ON
pleasant instead of squirting them
on to the platform or into the arena
of politics. The work is just as noble
and the reward far greater, though
their fame may not extend beyond
the limits of the affections of those
closely akin to them.
Yet is not the praise of husband
and the happy smile of children
when mother car spare them an hour
of valuable time more appreciated by
the true woman than the applause OF
thousands who are as quick to con-
denim as ready touphold? Today you
may bask in the sunshine of leader
ship in circles where the discussion of
abstruse topics exclude the humber
duties of home, yet a new light may
APP pear tomorrow and you will be as
though you had never been. But in
the home it is different. There you
shine with an undimmed radiance
that no rival a diminish Dr. cloud
destroy; you are queen OF hearts. the
best and sweetest in the world, with
the noble title of wife and mother

The Old Fashioned Posy Ring.
Posy originally meant verses pre-
sented with a nosegay; then it came
10 be applied to the flowers them
selves. and finally became the brief
poetical sentiment, motto or legend
inscribed upon a ring for the finger.
The words marked upon these love
tokens were generally of the stereo-
typed kind. such as You never knew
a heart more true" One which was
presented by the bridegroom bore the
suggestive couplet.-
love him who gives this ring of gold.

Teach Girls How to Use Money.
Would it not be wise if some exer-
cises in the mysteries of money were
aided to the curriculum of every girls
studies2 A boy finds it all out by ac-
tuaI contact with the public as soon
as he is out and a part of it; but a girl
may become a mature woman, shrink
ing then through the habit OF long
protection, and be thrown On the
mercies of the world with her money
to fall the prey to the first cheat and
cozen. She is taught at school the
spectra of the stars and the
map of Mars; what pity that
she should not be instructed in the
workings of life on the planet where
she lives! That a knowledge OF the
nature and meaning, and care OF
money should be made q part OIL
every girls education is growing more
and more evident in this age of en-
largement and prosperity, which puts
money into the hands of so many
women, And in the coming century,
the woman's century, as it is already
called, in which SO many women will
be workers and earners, it is all the
more important i'll order that they
NAV be neither handicapped nor toe
far outstripped, that they should be
we'll instructed as to business move
ments and investments, that they
may be directed in the right way be
fore the set out to earn.-H01pe7't

A Homemade Turkish Bath.
Any one can fix up a Turkish Oh
vapor bath in his OVID bedroom at lit
tie or no expense. A wood seated
chair can be placed over a tub of boil
ing water, and the bather has only tc
sit on the chair and cover himself
from his shoulders downward with
heavy blanket to get a first class
vapor bath. Some people vary the
arrangement by putting hay into the
tubs as we'll as the boiling water, but
this is unnecessary. and only adds to
the trouble and mess.
The same precautions are needed
against catching cold as with a regu'
lar Turkish bath. with the advantage
in favor of the home affair that yor
can get into bed without having to &c
out of doors after getting ~ov5rheated.
The simple BATH as described vii
