Although not much of the methodist and
management of Mrs. Cleveland's house
keeping is known, for she eschews pub
licity in all private matters as much "a
possible. its results are very satisfactory
SO far as that very uncertain quantity
the servants-is concerned.
She pays them e~xtravagant prices. and
they stay with her forever-that is Ger
tain. There has scarcely been a Change
since she began housekeeping seven years
ago. Many of the White House servants
as many as she could take-went with
her to New York and are now again in
the White House. In addressing her
servants Mrs. Cleveland is always par
ticularly courteous and speaks as if she
were talking to people for whom she ha,
high respect and even regard.
Another idea which Mrs. Cleveland
sees carried out in the management O.
her servants is to provide them with the
means Of amusement. They can not ONLY
have nights ''out," but nights in" And
they are encouraged to enjoy themselves
like privileged members of society. in
the Clevelands' home there are always a

DR.. Eichler. in the "Aerzt, Prakt,"
advocates Peru balsam as a dressing
which causes lacerated wounds to heal
quickly, its points Of adaptation being
that it adheres we'll and covers the en-
tire surface of the wounds; it has "a
drying effect, but stimulates granula-
tons, and following application a scab
is formed under which healing goes on.
DR.. Eichler states that its use is especial
ly indicated in the treatment of wounds
having a tendency to marked suppura-
ton or partial gangrene. and in in
juries of the hands and fingers the re-
suits are excellent. In practice, after
coaptition of the margins of the wound,
the Peru balsam is poured over the en-
tire surface, which is her covered with
thin layers of gauze moistened with
balsam and an ordinary dressing. The
latter may be left in place for several
days, though it is an advantage to re-
move the outer dressing daily and
moisten the gauze with the balsam
without removing it from the wound.

Boston's Unemployed Won en-.
An enterprising west end dressmaker
IN London il ABOUT to revive an old fash
ion first introduced into England in the
fifteenth century, when fashion plates
and fashion papers were unknown. She
intends having her new models made up
to fit large sized dolls made for this pur-
pose with all styles of fgures-thin,
plump, tall and short, matronlv and
youthful.
Many years ago, when Paris held, as
she does now, the scepter Of fashion, the
only fashion plates were large dolls sent
out from that city to all the great cities,
one every six months, to announce to
the world the new modes. In Florence.

and beautiful in dress, by whose old cos
tunes many Of our newest dress ideas
are inspired, the doll was exhibited pub

palace Oh the feast of the ascension, and
the amous Venetian beauties and their
needlewomen were early ~ the shri~ IS

Illustrated on figures of all types will,
with sensible women, bring about a new
and better dress era, for with the DOW
er to see ourselves as others see us we
could not make such blunders in selec-
ton as the following of pictured models
inevitably results in.
The woman of generous proportions
would be cured Of her passion for plaids
and bright hues could she see for herself
their disastrous effect; the woman of
slight build would realize how like an
exclamation point she looks in a black
gown; the little fluffy woman would
never try to do the severe and stately;
the majestic would eschew frills and
fripperies; the elderly matron would
leave the delicate tints for youthful faces,
and realize that as she grew In years she
needed stronger tints and richer fabrics
and more carefully adjusted and accu-
rately fitted toilets than when youthful
grace lent charm to ever a homemade
gown. Above all, woman would nave a
chance to learn the first and great com
,mandment in dress, which is not to form
her gowns upon what some one else
wears unless that some one else is ex-
actly her w height, weight, complex

Suffrage In New York.

The New York court of appeals has
affirmed the previous decision of Justice
Williams of the New York suprems court,
which was afterward upheld by the same
court at its general term, declaring un-
constitutional the law enacted by the last
legislature allowing women to vote for
county school commissioners.
This decision was not unexpected.
Under the usual principle of interpreted
ton the constitutional limitation of the
word male is considered applicable to
all officers specifically named and pro-
vided for in the state constitution. The
school commissioner is a county officer
specified in the state constitution. This
decision does not deprive the women of
New York state of the right ~which;they
have had since 1880 to vote IN towns and
cities for members Of school boards, these
local elections being subject to regula-
ton by the Legislature. Nor would it
prevent the legislature from extending
full municipal suffrage to the women.
The Illinois supreme court drew a sim
liar distinction. In 1901 the Illinois leg
lslature passed a bill to enable women to
vote for all school officers. The consti-
nationality of the law was called in cues
ton. The supreme court decided that
the legislature could not give women the
right to vote for county superintendent
of schools because that Office was named
IN the state constitution, but that the
women could vote for all other school
officers. even to the regents Of the state
university, since these were not named
in the constitution Boston Woman's

An Exception to Natures Laws.

According to the general laws of ma
ture, when a body is cooled it becomes
heavier than when it is hot. There Is
at least n exception to this rule, and
that is in the case OF water. Now, be-
fore you read further, shut your eyes
and see if You can figure ont just exact
ly how important this exception Is to
humanity. Cool a can or other vessel
of water from, say, 70 degrees down to
40 degrees and then pour it into a tub
Of water the temperature Ct which is
any place between SO and 80 degrees.
You will notice that the cold water
will Immediately sink to the bottom,
and right here is an explanation Of the
mystery Of river and lake circulation.
But when your cooling process goes be-
low 80 degrees, strange as it may seem,
the water becomes lighter than it was
when it was only one or two degrees
warmer. and if poured into a tub heated
as directed above will stay on top or i'm
mediately rise to that position. Now,
let US suppose that water continued to
get heavier as it got colder, as other
bodies do; what would happen? Ice as
soon as it formed would sink to the
bottom. layer upon layer, and in this
way seas, lakes and rivers would be
frozen solid. But n freezing would
do for all time, as the rays of the sun
would not penetrate the thin skim of
cold summer water to a sufficient depth
to thaw the rigid mass. For us it is
fortunate that there are exceptions to
all rules. st. Louis Republic.

Boston's Unemployed Women.

Unemployed women are at a greater
disadvantage than men owing to lack ur
training and Il greater limitation of the
kinds Of wor3s: provided. The charwomen
cannot sew. Everybody knows that
Homework impairs a wolnan's ability to
do nice sewing. Her fingers lose their
elasticity and deftness by the continual
use OF the broom, scrubcloth and con-
tact with the stove and cooking utensils.
The comparison holds in a greater degree
between the heavier household labors
and the commoncr kinds of sewing. She
who washes, irons a;1d scrubs does not
like and is indeed unified to sew at all.

Blue mists the hushed and supine land enfold
And dim the winding little rivers sheen,
Where, darkly clustered, shadowy willows
lean.
And chill and heavy lie on plain and void.
Now as the daylight's eager voices fade,
And life Is narrowed to q shrinking span,
Atwilight breath of calm and peace and shade
Now on the hot and restless heart Of man.

She Teaches Skirt Dancing.

The London papers have much to saw
of that wonderful little woman, Mrs.
Wordsworth" who is teaching skirt
dancing to the female young of the aris-
tocracy. She is said to be at the present
moment teaching 10000 pupils. Mrs.
Wordsworth considers the average Eng
lish girl wanting in natural grace of
movement and believes that this epidemic
of high kicking and accordion skirts
which is passing over the land is a Won
derful opportunity by which the present
generation may acquire that graceful
motion which has not always been the
lnseparable accompaniment Of gauche
English girlhood.
The queen, hearing Of Mrs. Words
worth's fame as an instructor of stiff an
kles, sent for this energetic little lady,
who was introduced to teach the chill
dren of Princess Beatrice. Possessing a
stentorian voice and extreme vigor in
her manner of imparting, Mrs. Words
worth treated her little items of royalty
to the same shouts and signals which she
finds so effective with her great army of
pupils, the queen being present and much
interested in the lesson. Next time this
celebrated dancing mistress visited
Windsor, however, it was politely init
mated through Il lady in waiting that
her majesty's nerves had been a little
tried by the ''forcible" method of her ex-
cellent instruction. so the royal Batten-
berg babies had perforce a much easier
