Female Clerks In Drug stores.

Why don't more druggists employ
one woman clerk at least? One meets
women behind the counter of most
tradesmen, but they are seldom seen
here, where they would often be most
peculiarly welcome. This has nothing
to do with their studying and qualify
ing themselves as chemists, and with
their doing up doctors prescriptions.
1t only means their waiting on the
many women who go into drugstore,
and hardly care to inform the waiting
man of their illnesses and their needed
remedies. If women ever want to be
tended by their own sex it is in drug
store

WOMAN AND HOME.
LUCKLESS BABIES.
A Strange Phase OF Life In New York and
Other Large Cities.

A Strange Phase OF Life In New York and
Other Large Cities.
1t used to be thought that a mothers
tenderness was something no power
could efface, but when one examines
the condition of the suffering INDECENT,
and especially of those who owe it in
some degree to themselves that they
are in want. one is led to modify such
opinion. Almost all of the mothers
among these people who come under
condemnation. however. are they that
have degraded themselves by the use
of intoxicants. The mother has TO be-
come lower than a beast before she
can abuse her baby. But when the
records of societies for the aid of chill
dren show that children in arms have
been whipped with thongs and straps,
have been thrown as missiles from one
Infatuated parent IN another, have
been scared with hot irons by mad and
drunken fathers and mothers, have
even met with worse cruelty, too
shocking for recital in our sensitive
ears, one sees how possible it is for
man and woman to fall into condi-
ton even lower than that of the
brutes.
That a mother can desert her new
born baby. leaving it to the mercy of
the race, or even do so knowing that
speedy death is the best thing that can
happen to it, we are all aware; but
when a child is found creeping in the
garbage of tenement house yard, it

mothers arms long enough for love to
have grown so that such desertion
would be impossible. 1t is quite as diff
ficult to understand the condition of a
mother who Graves strong drink to such
an extent that she sells wardrobe and
bedclothes and furniture to buy it
while her children starve. or splits
chair and table for kindling-wood
rather than spend for that the money
that goes for drink: or even that of the
more kindly-disposed woman who dulls
cold and hunger for her children by
giving them the poison too. The eat
/ loves her kittens better than that; she
does not cast them off till they can do
| for themselves: the Wild bear of the
woods who dies for her cubs at need is
! the nobler animal.
1t should move the heart of every
mother who has been kept from temp
tation herself. and whose rosy darlings
are shielded by warm tenderness. to
think of these wretched little beings,
| who would be too amazed, if brought
into such happiness as theirs, to know
what it meant. 1t should seem to
| these fortunate mothers that it is not
enough to do their duty within their
own four walls; that part of their
duty lies beyond. where these little
creatures are to be found in their
squalOr and distress; and that aside
from the obligation to the neighbor
| thus involved is the further obligation
to their own children of preventing, as
far as may be, such ruin.-llarper's

tenn is greater; that the effect on the
veins is better, and consequently the
condition of the blood is improved and
weakness of the lungs is therefore
largely overcome. If in trying the eff
feet of this position for sleeping any
unpleasant sensation is experienced
the feet will be found to have been too
high, and therefore they should be
lowered little by little by using pill
lows of less thickness until the proper
height is reached. which is readily de-
termined by the improved feeling of
the sleeper.
For women especially this mode of
sleeping is recommended by the pro-
fessor. and he claims to be in receipt OF
endless communications from ladies'
throughout Germany who have found
untold relief in following his simple
prescription. In an essay recently
read by the professor the advantages
to the physical nature from this man
ner of sleeping were shown to be I'M
mistakable and easily understood as
such by the lecturers audience in the
plain but convincing language EN-
ployed.
Briefly, the professor urged that the
veins are better kept filed with blood,
the blood flowing toward the brain is
conducive of a clearer. more rested
mental condition upon awakening. and
the heart finding easier action is not
called upon for such hard work, and
therefore the tired feeling often accom-
panying the first awakening is done
away with.

HOW 70 SLEEP souNDLY.

Pue pillows Under the Feet instead %
Under the Head--An Important Discov-
ery Made by a German Ssientist-Wom-
en- Like the Professors scheme and Say
IL Works Very Well.
A most important discovery has re-
GENTLY been made by a German profess
sor that will materially improve the
physical and mental strength of all
who follow its lesson, if the discovery
is really genuine, as the professor
claims it to be.
Superstition or legend or the custom
of years has had an influence upon us
while we slept that has been almost as
great as the like influences while we
are awake 1t has been vaguely I'M
derstood that if we sleep with our head
to the north it is much better than
pointing in any other direction can
possibly be, while lying upon our left
side is certain Indication we are free
from heart disease, and lying upon
our back is quite as certain sign that
we are intending to snore.
Added to these. the idea has pos
sessed us that our head must be higher
than our feet, entirely overlooking the
fact that the typical American. ever
healthy, vigorous and good looking, is
invariably represented in foreign pa
pers as sitting in a very low chair
with his feet on the convenient man
telpiece some yards, apparently, above
him.
But Prof. Fischer has changed all
that. He has demonstrated by series
of painstaking and careful experi-
ments that we should sleep with the
feet slightly elevated, or the head a
trifle lower than the feet. as he puts it,
and this condition he advises bringing
about by placing pillows under the feet
and none under the head.
The advantages claimed by Prof.
Fischer resulting from this manner Of
living are that the intellectual repose
is much more profound than obtained
by the present prevailing method; also
that amelioration of the nervous syS-

Health and beauty.

Health, its understanding and pres
ervation, is fad just now. Lectures
on the subject in any of its branches
are eagerly patronized by society lead
ers. Probably this is because beauty
of face and form were never more coff.
sidered than at present, and our woyu-
en- are beginning to find that there is
no real beauty without sound health;
this is one ostensible reason for the
craze Another is that women do
more, achieve more than ever before,
and consequently they care more to
hear how they may keep themselves
in proper condition for work. A we'll
trained mind is not the first thought,
although it is an important one; it is
the well-trained mind in a welbtrained
body.

A shower of Feathers.

The eminent surgeon Sir Ashley
Cooper was fond of practical joke.
On one occasion he assembled the church
tower of village in Norfolk, taking
with him one of his mothers pillows,
and finding the wind blowing directly
to the next town, he let off handfuls of
feathers until he had emptied the pill
low The local papers reported this
remarkable shower" of feathers, and
offered various conjectures to account
for it, and the account was copied into
other papers, and was probably received
as a perfectly natural occurrence
