The liahY In Cold WeafhNR.

The baby's daily airing should be as
much 81 part of the winter as Of the sum-
mer routine. From its earliest infancy
it should be-not exposed to cold OF
course-allowed its full quota of air and
sunshine. No child can possibly thrive
who breathcs only the air of furnace
warmed rooms and sees the sunshine
only through the window panes.
OF course it should be warmly clad to
70 out into the air. Over the house slip
a short jacket should be worn and over
that a long wooden cloak. The hood
should be of soft wool, and a fine white
veil should protect the tender skin. AS
often as possible the baby should be car
ried in the nurses arms rather than rolled
in the carriage. for except on unusually
bright and warm days the latter method
of taking exercise is too chilling.
If the house boasts a room with a
southern exposure and an open fire, that
is undoubtedly the proper sitting room
for the small monarch. A fireplace is an
excellent means of ventilation as well as
Of heating, and the air and temperature
in such a room are likely to be nearly

The Business WOman's Gown.

Whether you sit at a desk or are behind
a counter tgoes without saying that dark
colors are always to be preferred, writes
Isabel A. Mallon in The Ladies' Home
Journal. The crushed raspberry, pea
cock blue or any of the bizarre shades
may please you for two weeks, perhaps a
month, but at the end of that time you
will have tired of the color. 1t has grown
common, and yet you must wear it all
season. A dark color does not Of neces-
sity mean black. There are besides navy
blue, seal brown, lincoln green and a
deep cardinal. ANY one Of these colors
is suitable for business wear, and not
one Of them is tiresome to the eye.
Serge, with its heavy cord, is the ma
terial of all others to which I give prefer
ence for business wear. l never advise a
smooth cloth. After this come the close
ly woven, heavy f1annels, camel's hair,
the suitings that have a rough surface,
and either henrietta cloth or cashmere.
In France the girls who are in shops all
wear black silk dresses that are furnish
ed by the proprietors of the establish
ment and are laid aside when business
hours are over.

English Mothers and Daughters.

Asked for an opinion on the existence
and relief of the strained" relations ex-
listing in many English households be-
tween mother and daughter, according
to a recent paper in The Nineteenth Cen
fury, Mrs. Andrew Lang replies, first,
that, having no daughters, no strained"
conditions are a part of her own house
hold, nor does she personally know of
any in any of her friends, and, second,
las to a remedy, | can only suggest that
accepting for the moment the theory, of
strained relations girls should be al,
lowed to grow up without being made
to feel themselves of paramount impor,
ance. AS long as people are bursting
with self consciousness, however it may
be manifested, they can neither be
agreeable companions o useful mem,
bers Of society. If girls are in the habi,
Of considering others and o themselve:

morals - their relations will not be
strained with their mothers or any one
else"

How They Meet Reporters.

The interviewer is always assured
of a fraternal welcome from Bronson
Howard and Augustus Thomas, the
playWriters, and Of a no less warm
welcome from George Parsons La
throp, the literary man, while Rev.
Joe Cook of Boston, although never
refusing an interview, is about as gen
ial and pleasant a man to talk to as
would be a grizzly bear. The most
aggravating man in the world to in
terview is the man who will make an
appointment for the sole purpose of
being interviewed and then growl
out short, evasive answers, never vol.
unteering a jot of his own opinions.

MASSACHUSETTS NATIONAL BIRD.
1t Is the Goldfish, and Gloucester Is the
Place to Contemplate 1t.

Place to plate Ii.
No city or town in New Englandis
more unique or more interesting than
the old fishing port of Gloucester, on
Cape Ann. This quaint city Is the
place which supplies nearly all Amer
lea with its salt cod, and to see the
miles of enOrmou hogsheads along
its wharves filled with sailed layers
of this cosmopolitan fish is enough
to make one thirsty for a week.
Gloucester is less than an hours ride
from Boston by way of Salem on the
Gloucester branch of the Boston and
Maine railroad, eastern division, and
if n wishes to get a genuine smack
of seaport and fishing port life, and
e where the country store Goldfish
is made up" let him take a days
outing and visit this salty metropolis
Of Cape Ann. Best of all, let part of
the distance be %traverSed afOOt. Let
the tourist pilgrim do as l did-leave
the r at Magnolia and walk the re
naming five or six miles along the
shore to Gloucester.
We went, last of all, to see the ia
nous wharves. Here we found hun
dreds of fishing schooners unloading.
The fish, which had been cleaned and
sliced during the voyage, were being
tossed out of the holds and up on the
wharves by men with pitchforks. A
great tub for each vessel, swinging
by chains and connected with a 400
pound weight, received the fish as
tossed up, and when the weight few
up the amount was registered by a
man with a pencil and account book
in his hand.
Then the pieces of fish were tossed
into a dory filled with water, where
they were washed by eight or ten men
with backing brushes-forever in
nocent of backing, let us hope-and
thence transferred to waiting bar
rows, in which they were wheeled to
rows Of hogsheads at the back part
Of the wharf and packed away with
layers of salt. At another part of
each dock were long rows of drying
frames, where fish that had been i'm
perfectly cured while on the voyage
might be spread and exposed to air
and sun. When one takes into &C
count the miles of these fishing docks
and the thousands of pounds of cod
that + packed at each every day,
he wonders how the fnny inhabit-
ants of the deep can holdout against
such wholesale depletion. Yet the
catch was never larger than it has
been this year, and the old fisher
men say that there seems to be no
sign of the beds giving out.
A quaint city, yet a practical and
progressive one, is GlOucester-a city
of wealth and of culture, too, with
fine churches and schools and many
beautiful residences and public build
ings. There is a historic charm about
the place, and its uniqueness and the
peculiar character of its leading in
dustry give it q quaint prestige and
interest to the traveller. -Zion's Her

The Carlisle Controversy.

Representatives of the Bar association
of Carlisle, Pa, in explaining its action
in refusing to admit a young woman to
be examined for admission to the bar,
said publicly: whenever men stay at
home, nurse the children and do the
homework while the women battle with
the world, it will be time enough for the
Carlisle bar to modify its rules and ad-
NIT women to membership"
The American Lawyer says: Non
sense. The Carlisle Bar association ought
to awake from its Rip Van Wrinkle sleep
and try to catch up with the procession"
The Chicago Legal News quotes the fore
going and adds: Hit them again, for
they deserve it. Women are legally eli
gible for admission to the bar in Penn
sylvania, and it is childish for a local
bar association to set up its w belated
%prejudices in opposition to the laws OF
the state"

An incident during the disturbances in
Sicily is related by a correspondent in
Palermo. At Terrasini, a village of about
1000 inhabitants, the people rebelled
against the communal administration,
burning the bureaus of the taxes. A
company of bersaglieri arrived to put a
stop to the disorder, and the lieutenant
ordered his men to make ready to fire.
At that moment a m ran up to the
lieutenant, and holding out to him a por-
trait of Queen Margaret asked him to
kiss it, while at the same time the rio :
ers, men and women, suddenly sank Il
their knees in front of the soldiers, cry
ing out, Kill us; we are already dying
of hunger" The lieutenant ordered the
soldiers to retire, and the riot was at an
end.

A new notion is that of marriage cards
conveying, like their Easter and Christ
mas prototypes, the proper sentiments of
the occasion, good wishes, and the rest,
which may accompany the wedding
gift or merely arrive, per Sc, as an evil
dence of good will. 1t remains to be
seen whether brides will take kindly to
this palpable aid to the nonpresent Civ
ing quest. An avalanche of these paste
boards on the wedding day, however
artistic and proper they may be. will
hardly be a relished substitute for even

The Value of a StorY.

II know a stamp collecting fienl,"
said Carl Becker to the corridor man
at the Lindell, who never tires of
disputing the correctness of the oft
repeated statement that used stamps,
have no value and that the million
stamp charity story is a myth. He
carries around with him a written
offer of 800 for 1000, 900 stamps and
shows it with great glee. Any nan
who wants to get rich should avoid
filling an order of this kind if he gets
one. because to collect 1000, OG0
stamps it is necessary to secure more
than 500 a day for 10 years, without
even resting on Sunday. To get this
number daily would take at least
half a mans time, unless he hap
pened to have access to the waste
basket of a very large firm, and for
his reward he would get just so a
year. waiting, however, 10 years for
pay day. Under these circumstances
it seems pretty safe to offer 800 for
1000, 900 stamps, forno one acquaint-
el with principles Of arithmetic
would be very likely to seriously con
slider the proposition."-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

A Fest Alarm.

This morning before o'clock an
alarm of fire was sounded by the fire
bell and the department quickly re-
Sponeded, being on the street within 50
seconds after the first tap of the bell.
The alarm was sounded by Alderman
Duncan, who was desirous of knowing
how quickly morning alarm would
be answered. The boys tell it that in
his excitement, the alderman rushed
up to the hose wagon, and inquired if
they had sufficient steam to put out the
fire. One fact was brought promi-
nently to the front this morning, and
that was that Salem needs fire alarm
system. The apparatus was on the
street in double quick time, but was de-
layed at the corner of State and Com'l
for at least two minutes, on account of
not knowing the direction of the fire.
AS it happened, there was no fire, but
il there had been, the delay would
have been the same. In the early
morning, when few people are on the
street, the only way the department
has, of locating fire, is by the red
light reflected on the sky above, and a
four minutes delay in some instances
would more than cost the amount re-
quired for complete fire alarm system.
This matter that the council would
do we'll to consider, for Salem has too
well drilled fire department to have
its efficiency impaired by such lack
ing.

RIVER NEWS.

The river is still falling but it is to be
hoped that there will be change in
the stage of the water soon.
Steamer Eugene arrived in Salem
last night at S:15 p. M. from Portland
and after discharsing her freight she
proceeded on her way 10 Doves land
ing. After laying there over night
she proceeded on 10 Albany his morn
ing.She returns to Salem late this even
ing.
The Hoag arrived at Salem on her
trip up the river last night at 7:45 with
a good load of freight. After discharg-
ing her freight and lying at her dock
over night she proceeded on to Buena
Vista this morning, returning this
afternoon and will go:on to Portland in
the morning.
Steamer Altoona arrived at 5:l6 p. m.
Saturday with large load of freight,
after unloading which it was too dark
for her to proceed on her way to Inde-
pendence owing to the low water. She
remained at her dock in Salem until s
o'clock Sunday morning and then went
up to Independence, returning this
morning and leaving for Portland on
time with about thirty passengers
She took on eight tons of freight at
Salem and will reach Portland about 8
o'clock this afternoon. When the AL
tona quit making her trips on the river
on the Goth day of July, the river was
% feet above low water mark while
now it is only q feet above low water,
the river being inches lower than in
the middle of summer. The regular
trips of the Altoona now are accounted
for in this way. During the extreme
low stage of the river in July, the water
was confined to one channel and
thereby slulced out larger and deeper
channel which makes navigation on
the river easier now, at lower Gepth,
than during the summer with deeper
water. In spite of the rumors that the
Altoona would withdraw from the river,
her managers say that she will run all
winter and should the water reach
stage that would make 1t impossible for
her TO make her regular trips, another
boat will be put on the river In her
place. The managers realize the good
patronage they have from the people
and to hold the same they intend hav-
Ing the Altoona make her regular trips.

Exposed at Portland Some Promi-
nent Citizens Being Gulled.
The Sunday Sun reports a case In
some respects similar to the one lately
at Salem. 1t says match struck sud
denly and without warning in the dark
last night was the cause of all astonish-
ing discovery to twenty or thirty
persons. The match was lighted In a
ball at First and Salmon streets during
a seance conducted by man named
Garrison. Before the match was
lighted a number of gullib!e and credu-
lOus people, seated in ring holding
each Others hands, were fondly be
lieving that Mr.. Garrison was also one
of the ring with his hands imprisoned,
aud thought that the draughts of cold
air that swept across their faces and the
playing of floating stringed instru-
ments was caused by the presence of
supernatural beings.
BY the dim light of the match, how.
ever, Garrison was discovered capering
around inside the circle moving a stick
with fan attached, which undoudt-
edly was the cause of the cold draught.
Garrison made frantic efforts TO put
out the match by striking at it with
the fan, but it was too late, and, for the
present, his dark circles are over with.
The man who lighted the tell-tale
match was Mr.. ]. A. Johnson, of 34l
Water street. He went there with the
intention of exposing Garrison, and
managed it more successfully than he
had expected. Afterward the place
was lighted. and Mr.. johnson, with
two friends who had accompanied him,
was elected from the hall.
This man Garrison has been holding
these seances for some time, and,
it is stated, has been humbugging q
number of intelligent persons who at
tend his meetings, Among those who
attend are DR.. Glendenning, DIR. Dick
son, of the East Side, Woodsen A.
Scoggin, John Il. Vestal, and William
Beck, formerly of the William Beck
Arms Company.
