Well-Dressed Mothers.

Anything that tends to make girl look
down upon her mother Is fatal to the best
interests Of both. For that reason a wo-
man should try to keep abreast Of the
times, that her notions may not seem anti
quated. Her dress should be as tasteful
writes Mrs. Burton Kingsland in the first
paper of the attractive series, "A Dsugh-
ter at Sixteen" in the March ladies' Home
Journal.
1t is qualification to a girls pride to
present her young friends to a mother who
is we'll dressed, gracious and versed In the
requirements of good society. Bulwer says
that nothing increases love like pride in
the beloved object"

Care of Curtains and P0rtferps.

When any cleaning or sweeping is in
should be removed, and after being
thoroughly brushed and shaken should be
allowed to hang in the air until the rooms
are cleaned and ready for their return,
writes James Thomson in very practical
article, "Artistic Doorways and Win
dow !" in the March Ladies' Home journal.
Heavy bsugings will absorb the odor
from cigar smoke or from any food which
may be cooking, and he greatest care
should therefore be taken that they he
kept well aired The doorway curtains
may be so easily removed and placed in
position again that there should be no ex-
cuse for any unpleasant odor being attach
ed to them.

The following is from the treasurer
Of the Presbyterian board of foreign
missions
! must send a word to thc helpful
givers among the Christian Endeavor
societies. for in the record Of ths gifts
10 the board OF foreign missions Of the
Presbyterian church the Christian En-
deavorers are the only class Of givers
showing an increase up To Dec. 81. 1893
Their increase 10 that date was over g..
600. May the Master, who is inspiring
them to give for the work In foreign
lands, inspire them to ogreatspiritual ac-
tiyity at home, that everywhere truth
may prevail.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1894-03-01

Let the church remember that the So-
ciety Of Christian Endeavor is its nurs-
cry and pray for il, manifc-ting the
same interest in it that father ana
mother do in their children, and then
the mem bers Of the Endeavor society
will grow into active and mature church
work quite as unconscious Of any par
ticular time as youth develops into man
hood. God only knows the enlarged ac-
tiyities Of the future local church which
may grow out of the Christian Endcavor
movement. .-Christian Endeavor Eng

A WEEPING WOMAN
AFFORDS AMUSEMENT TO HER OWN SEX AT

AFFORDS AMUSEMENT TO HER OWN SEX AT
 THE UNION DEPOT.
 A good woman visiting the city caused some commotion at the union passenger station yesterday. Her unrestrained emo- tions and unrestrained waist plainly de- noted that she was from the country. She had never learned the city art of repression and compression. The train was about to leave, and her husband was out in town taking in the sights. She rushed to the street to look for him, and then into the waiting rooms, but he was nowhere to be seen.
 The great triangle at the gate rang it's warning notes. It made the good woman hysterical. She rushed about frantically, crying at the top of her voice: "My hus. band, whar IS my husband? I'll give any, body dime to find him. Tho train's about to go.. ] don't know what to do: fast to a big banana in her hand. She ap- pealed to the station master to know when the next. train would go. He replied: 'sTo- night" 'May the Lord have mercy on my soull' was her solemn objuration.
 The station master is quite lady's man, but all his soothing assurances failed to calm her emotion. A number of men standing around looked with pity upon her, and seemed willing to do anything for her if they only knew what to do. Then two young women came up and, seeing her hysterical actions. they laughed and stuffed their handkerchiefs in their mouths. Women do not seem to be as sym pathetic as men.
 AS the gates were about to close wool- hat man, with a white headed baby in his husband. The woman ran up to him joy fully seized the baby by the arm and jerked it into her own arms and by hard run they caught theIr train.
