Cultivate a Capacity For Tears.

A capacity for tears-abundant, warm
and ready ones-is, says a physician, one
of the surest preservatives Of feminine
beauty. 1t is a grieyous mistake to think
tears can injure the sweetest eyes or dig
burrows in any face when their rain Is
fresh and most frequent They are the
natural outlet of emotion a sort of liquid
lightning rod in which excitement and
passion are most easily and rapidly dissi-
pated. Sweet Alice, that wept at frown,
retained until late in her career rounded
contours, unfurrowed brows, dimpled
lips, shining eyes and her hair so brown.
So do nearly all weeping women who can
let rivers of hot salt tears course down
over their cheeks 1t is she who keeps up
q power of thinking, who has few tears to
shed, and those flow with an effort, whose
facial lines and gray hairs come early. A
capacity for tears is worth cultiVating,
since not only does a lack Of them score
heavily against ones freshness Of face,
but has It's marked effect in general tenn
perament. The women who weep easily
have correspondingly light hearts, tender,
demonstratiVe and impulsive ways and q
charm the dry eyed women lack.-ChicagC

Patch the Table Linen.

Tablecloths, unless the breaks are quite
small, should be patched when holes ap-
pear. First baste a square Of the same
material under the hole, then cut the
edges of the hole even, turn under and
hem down to the patch as neatly as possi-
BILE. Then turn the cloth on the wrong
side and hem the patch down to it in the
same manner. This adds a neat finish to
both sides, and the cloth will be fat when
ironed. II there is figure, stripe or any
given pattern, try to match 1t when
patching Always mend before washing,
for you cannot do 1t so we'll afterward, as
the washing and ironing stiffen the edges

namely, the treasury Of the local temple
and division made by the priests, por-
tion, as costs, no doubt being given to the
treasury Of the god.
Even in those remote days women were
extensively engaged in commercial life,
though, l am sorry to say, usually in the
slave trade There Is one document in
the series in which all parties, vender,
purchaser, ohattel female slave) and the
witnesses, are women, the only men being
the scribes who wrote the deeds.
Wealthy women seem to have done q
considerable business in leasing out slaves
for stated periods of hire, and l may quote
one example: "A slave named Mar-Sip-
par, whom Marduk Nazir, from Munapir-
tn, his mother, has leased for one year.
The money for the year shall be "a shekels
Of silver. For wages Ito the slave) one
half shekel of silver he shall pay"
In Babylonia, as among the Hebrew
people, 1t was the great desire Of the wife
to bear a male child, and the tablets be-
fore us show that there was many a pray
eP like that OF Hannah offered in the tenn
Piles of Chaldea 5000 years ago. To meet
the difficulty of succession extensive re-
sort was made to the custom of adoption,
O careful code of laws with regard to
which had been formulated at very early
period. Adopted children were usually
infants Of tender age, as, according to the
law, the man was bound to oprovide wet
nurse" and at later period to clothe and
eduate the child, giving him q deed Of
adoption duly attested in the temple. l
will quote one of these deeds as an exam
pie: Mar -Istar, son of Iltani and Nadin-
at-Sin Iltani and Nadinat-Sin adopted
to sonship. When Mar Istar to his father
and his mother says, 'Ye are not my ia
ther or my mother they shall sell him
for silver Gas q slave). But when at any
time Iltani and Nadinat-Sin shall say,
Thou art not our son, he shall take and
carry away his portion like the other chill
dren of (the parents)."
1t is curious In all these deeds that the
name of the mother is always mentioned
first This is, of course, a survival Of the
ancient law of matriarchy current in
Egypt and Chaldea, when the descent was
traced through the mother and not the IA
ther. If a son denied his adopted father,
he was, according to the law, to be brand
ed on the face, chained and sold as o
slave" but if he deDied his mother he was
branded and driven away from the house
and town,

siery to go round--not round the bargain
counters, but through the regular depart
ments. It will also be to her advantage
to learn the science Of stufis, so as to bo
able to tell cotton from linen and Isle
thread. Manufacturers are clever. They
understand the art of finishing 90 aB TO
make cotton look like linen and thread
like silk. The manufacturers laundress
is genius. She has brains in her dat
iron, and she can do up "a little square Of
batiste so cleverly that the average shop
per will pass 1t and buy 1t for linen lawn.
Then, too the knitters viii design Isle
thread garment, touch the top stitch with
silk, and along will come a woman with
81. 90 and snatch it up under the delusion
that she is getting pure silk. And that's
the way the money goes.

James Russell I.owelps Daughter.

Mrs. Edward Burnett Is the only child
Of the late James Russell Lowell. She
was a very pretty, attractive young girl,
much admired by tho undergraduates at
Harvard as we'll as by the large number
of people whom her fathers fame drew
about them both 1t was one OF Miss
Lowell's grievances that she was supposed
by all the acquaintances whom she made
to have all the wit and wisdom OF her par.
ent. 1t is a stock story concerning her
that when she was asked, as she generally
was, "Do you care for poetry" she always
replied fercely, NO, hate It,"

Give a little child oongenial employ
ment, and he will almost invariably be
happy and good natured. Toys alone are
not all that he requires. His active little
mind demands the stimulus Of intelligent
occupation even at the early age Of 8 or 4,
and it behooves mother who has the 10
sponsibility of his mental growth at heart
to provide the wherewithal for develop
ment There Is something very touching
and beautiful in seeing an intellectual
woman of real ability interested in the
rudlments for the sake of her little child.

The Black Haired Woman.

1t is rarely one sees a woman's hair Of
the absolute inky hue of Hamlet's cloak,
but when one does be certain the dusky
chevelure is great beauty. In these days
of uncertain drabs and grays and browns
and the tinted" blond a fine head Of
black hair is very conspicuous, particular
ly when It's possessor happens to be a
handsome girl, with fresh, clear skin and
the blue eyes which always "go" with
just such black hair. Such type Is sell
dom seen, but it is pure Irish, and no
greater beauty than this real Celtic beau
ty can bo found among all the Saxon,
Latin and oriental races. Boston Herald.

GirlhOOd'S Charm In Woman.

The woman who keeps the simplicity Of
her girlhood, its generous impulses and
quick sympathies, and who adds to her
natural gifts the enlargement Of study
and the crown of experience, is always at
her best and never past it. When the ex-
terror attractions Of form and color di-
minish and depart, as they mostly do, the
radiance Of our inner illumination will
more than compensate their departure.
But in order that this should be SO her
moral must equal her intellectual gain.
She must be willing to learn not only her
powers, but her defects also, and to court
the good influences which can help her to
escape from the delusions Of sense and the
fatal tyranny of self consciousness. She
must discard the petty measures Of vanity
and self seeking and learn to love her
race, her country and the humanity which
she should help to adorn.-Julia Ward
Howe.

woman at Her Physlcal Rest.

The question as to the mental and phys
ical ripeness Of womanhood Is not one
that can in Its physical aspect be answer
ed arbitrarily, and I prefer to consider the
physical side first, for the sake Of Its an
tithesis, writes Amelia e. Barr in The La
dies Home Journal. Climate, heredity,
constitutional tendencies, the influences
of home, of nurses, Of teachers, localities
and associations are all important factors
and exert influences on maturity so Varia-
BILE as to be beyond estimating. But 1t is
quite safe to say that in temperate eli
mates and under ordinarily favorable cir
cumstances woman Is physically at her
highest point of perfection from the age
of % to 80.

sent mamma these" said Alta I've
only had one.
"They are just as big as pullets' eggs,
said Mabel, land so yellow. never had
any Of this kind"
I'm divide them, " said Alta. ''There's
one for Bertha, one for Mabel, one for me,
one for Bertha, one for Mabel, one for me
--and here's one over do wish things
would come out even. III have to count
out, and the one that is out first will have
the odd one:
"Eny, meny, ickery Ann,
Filacy, folacy, Nicholas John,
One, two, three, out goes ye.
Oh, goodyl I'm the one.
Maybe you knew how twas coming
out, " said Bertha.
"'Tisn't polite to have more'n your
com'ny," said Mabel.
'Tisn't polite to hint that folks
cheat, ," said Alta, but we'll draw cuts,
and then no one can say 1t wasn't fair" /"
She cut three slips Of paper and placed
them In a book, with only the tops in
sight.
"Now, the one who draws the shortest
can have the plum, she said, land no
body can say q word or look GROSS
shan't anyway"
Bertha drew, and Mabel drew, and the
shortest slip of paper was left in Atlas
hand.
"There, now, you see it was meant for
me to have 1t, )" she cried, jumping up.
But she forgot the plum in her lap. II
rolled down to the ground, and big tur-
key Robbler who had his eye on 1t caught
It up and ran off with 1t before the aston
lshed GIRLS could speak. They looked at
each other o moment. Then they all be-
gan to laugh.
Twas all because l was so selfish,
said Alta. II guess my mother would be
ashamed Of me II she knew It,.

"When we were com'ny, too, said
Bertha
''Wait a minute, +" said Alta She ran
into the house and soon returned with a
small paper bag.
Here's four chocolate creams, two
apiece, she said It's to punish mo for
being 80 selfish, cause had saved 'em
to eat myself"
You must have two," said Bertha,
''else we won't be punished, and we were
Just as bad"
Then the three little girls sat In the ham,
mock and ate their plums and chocolate
creams" as happy as three little girls
