4 Word to Careless Girls.

Many of us know the girl who, fastening
TO class or lecture, leaves at home an un-
tidied room, open lidded boxes, bureau
drawers suggestive of compressed earth
quake, bookcase doors swinging in immi-
nent risk of demoltion-who filters hall
stand and vestibule with discarded gloves
and crumpled memoranda, whose belong
ings are distributed indiscriminately
through every room, regardless of owner
ship. She evidently waits to help" but
is she preparing herself meanwhile for the
prospective service?"
Many of us know the patient mother who
moves along in the track of this household
hurricane to remove the debris, rearrange
the surroundings, close box, smooth a
glove, clear a stand and table of encum-
brances, and make fast the door that en-
dangers the precious volumes it is supposed
to guard as well as the physical safety of
some junior member of the family.
like to tell young people of a simple rule
my mother enforced, the helpfulness Of
which it took me years to realize, Never
leave a room without noticing whether
there is not something there which belongs,
or is likely to be needed, in another part of
the house, and will eventually have to be
carried there"
1t is astonishing how rarely you find your
self going from room to room empty hand
ed if you observe this rule, and how many
steps you save somebody who needs to have
steps saved.-Margaret NJ Halyey in Dona-
hoes Magazine.

The Land of Promise

Is the mighty West, the land that "tickIed
with hoe laughs with a harvest" the FL
Dorado of the miner; the goal of the agri-
cultural emigrant. While it teens with all
the elements of wealth and prosperity, some
of the faiTest and most fruitful portions of
1t bear harvest of malaria reaped in its
fulness by those unprotected by a medicinal
safeguard. No one seeking or dwelling in
malarial locality Is safe from the scourge
without HOstetter's Stomach Bitters. Emil
grants, bear this in mind. Commercial
travellers sojourning in malarous regions
should carry bottle of the Bitters in the
traditional gripsack. Against the effects of
exposure, mental or bodily overwork, damp
and unwholesome food or water, 1t is an in
fallible defense. Constipation, rheuma-
tism, billousness, dyspepsia, nervousness
and loss of strength are all remedied by
this genial restorative.

For some years Russell COnwell did not
employ private secretary, and during all
that time Mrs. Conwell attended to all his
private correspondence, keeping accurate
account of all his lecture engagements, and
whenever possible going with him upon his
tours, writes Maude A. Bowyer in the Sep
tember Ladies' Home journal.
Mrs. COnwel is tall and of noble presence
and engaging manners. Fond of her home,
she is a model housewife, looking carefully
after every detail in the home and in all
purchases for the family, always regulating
her duties to be at leisure to do any work or
visiting which she, as a pastors wife, may
be called upon at any time to do. Her
home is a home to all her friends, and to
any and all of the members of her husbands
church.
Mr. and Mrs. ConwelPs only child, Agnes,
who has just past her seventeenth year, re-
sembles both parents in looks and character,
and assists them materially in their church
work. She is also teacher in the Sabbath
school connected with her fathers church.
The Conwell family spend their summers
i'm the Berkshire Hills, where, nine miles
from 'the nearest station" stands THE
Little House on the Hill" There, for three
months of the year, they dispense hospital
ity with lavish hands. Mr. Conwell spends
his week days there, returning to Phia-
delphia each Sunday to preach to his congre-
cation.

Mrs. Emma Seller.

Did you know that woman-a mere
woman-made the anatomical discovery oil
the reason why a woman has soprano
voice and a man sings in the lower registerf
Eliza Archard Conner tells the story-it is
a German one-says the Chicago Post. 1t
seems that Mrs. Emma Seller, u native of
WurtZburg, when left a widow with two
children to support, resolved to become
teacher of singing, but suddenly lost her
voice
Then she determined to find out why;
also to discover, if possible, the correct
method of singing, SO that others might not
lose their voices. For this purpose she
studied anatomy. Surrounded, however,
as she was, by the idiots and bigots who
would cut off all intellectual pursuits from
women, she was obliged to study in secret.
She dissected larynx after larynx and
spent years in her search trying to find for
one thing why women's head tone could
reach high G, while men had no soprano
tones.
At length her search was rewarded. She
discovered under the microscope one day
two small wedge shaped cartilages, whose
action produces the highest tones of the
human voice. She made her discovery pub
lie.
1t excited great attention among scien-
lists. But so cruel was the prejudice of her
time that she did not dare to let the world
know u woman made the discovery and
wrote an account of it. Her own brother,
a physician, praised the treatise in the
highest terms till he found that his own
sister had written it, Then he dashed 1t
down, saying in a rage that she would be
better attending to her housework.
