The Real Old Maid.

The real old maid is like any other
woman, writes Junius Henri Browne
in an interesting study of the question
" Are Old Maids Unattractive?" in the
June LADIES' Home Journal. She has
faults necessarily, though not those
commonly conceived of. She is often
plump, pretty, amiable, interesting, in
tellectual, cultured, warm.hearted, be-
nevolent, and has ardent friends OF
both sexes. These constantly wonder
why she has not married, for they feel
that she must have had many opportu-
mites. Some of them may know why;
she may have made them her conf
dantes. She usually has sentimental,
romantic, frequently sad and pathetic
past, of which she does not speak, I'M
less in the sacredness of intimacy. She
is not dissatisfied, querulous nor envi-
Gus. On the contrary, she is, for the
most part, singularly content, patient
and serene.

Give 1t a Trial.

Few mothers understand how Won
derfully even little children are in
fluenced by the tone of the voice, the
touch of the hand, the very atmosphere
they breathe. How quickly and how
surely pleasant, quiet tone brings a
pleasant answer, while just as quickly
an impatient, irritated tone begets an
impatient answer Many mothers do
not realize this; nor do they under
stand how easily very little children
may be taught to be orderly and neat,
to be thoughtful for others, to enjoy
being helpful to mother and father, if
only they be made partners in the con-
Germ, and the enticing " we will do so
and So" 1t is noticeable that even
young children dislike a command,
while request or pleasant assump-
ton on the part of parent that child
will do certain things is usually acceded
to with pleasure.-Ne,o Moon.

up, as unpicturesque as, fortunately,
their number is few. But womanhood
is precisely the same to-day as it was in
the time of Eve; different only in minor
respects, but exactly the same in the
best qualities that indelibly proclaim
the true woman. She has broadened
Intellectually. True, but so has man,
and we never hear of the modern man
as being creature radically different
from his predecessor by century's
length, and yet he has changed just as
much. Conditions of life have altered
just as much as the conditions of CEN
fury hence will vary from those of to-
day. But the woman of 1904 will not
be different in her instructive qualities
of womanhood from her sister of to-
day, any more than the man of that pc
Rod will be different from the man of
the present.-Ladies' Home Journal.

An Authors Wife.

Count Tolstoi is said to have repro
duced in the courtship of Levin and
Kitty, in 'Anna Karenina, where the
lovers only pronounce the first letters
of the words they wish to say to each
other, the wooing of his wife and him
self. Madame Tolstoi is a remarkable
woman, who received diploma from
the Moscow University at the age of
seventeen, was married when she was
eighteen, and her husband twenty years
older, and is now, after thirty-one years
of married life, the mother of nine liv-
ing children and her husbands potent
aid in his literary labors. Until her
children are ten years old she makes all
their clothes. She copies and recopies
her husbands manuscript, a task of
which the difficulty is increased by the
self-invented short hand in which Count
Tolstoi sets down his compositions.
Even his wife is not allowed to inter-
rupt him when he is engaged in the
first draught of an important work, and
at such times he writes nearly all day,
and sometimes far into the night

Fashions i'm Girls Names.

The most important change in the
naming of girls has been the growing
Discrimination to give them more than
one name, the object of this being that
when a woman marries she may easily
combine her full maiden name with her
new surname, writes Mrs. Hamilton
Mott in the Ladies' Home Journal. A
three-word signature is much prettier
and more convenient than one com.
posed of four words. Then, too, i'm
mediate recognition of her own, as well
as that of her husbands surname, and
the convenience of genealogical re-
search and legal transactions, are two
reasons of sufficient importance to war
rant the combination were there no
others. With this fashion in girls
names has come, as in boys, a disin-
clination to use diminutives or pet
names. Mollies, Maggies, Katies and
the various feminine "ies'' and "ys"
are as scarce as their masculine coun-
terparts Jimmie and Willie. Mary,
Margaret and Katherine have taken
the place of the former, and James and
William of the latter.

Serious Charge Against the Oyster.

One by one this end Of the century
age of materialism is destroying all
our popular ideals, and if it continues
1901 will find itself compelled to set
up an entirely new lot in the absence
Of any holdovers. The latest instance
Of destruction comes from a profess
Eonal hygienist, who makes serious
allegations against the oyster, under
taking to prove that the popular no
ton that this succulent bivalve just
about digests itself is all wrong. He
says that the oyster is three hours
and half in digesting and as an aft
er theater supper is about as suitable
% lobster salad topped off with hot
tnince pie. And no one believes him.

"The Modern Woman"

The fact is, when we come to look at
the matter from common-sense view,
the woman of to-day has changed very
little from the woman of yesterday, so
to speak. We like to refer to the

thing new or unique and differing very
widely from her sister before her. But
how? In what respect is she differ
ent? Some women are different, but
that is a matter for pity rather than for
congratulation. But taking women as
a whole, and in what has she changed?
One would imagine, from some things
that we read and hear, that the Creator
gave to 1924 one sort of woman and to
1894 another sort. But there is no
evidence that he made the one different
from the other. New types have come

IT'S WORTH 1T.

You'd have to be rich to pay $1,000 a
bottle for Aliens Sarsaparilla, but here's
a man who says it is we'll worth that
sum. Read what he writes regarding
this famous remedy.
KENNEBUNK, Me. l cannot express
too forcibly the gratitude feel for what
Aliens Sarsaparilla has done for me. l
am now 70 years old, and for sixty years
/ have suffered from Acute Rheumatism.
At the age of 10 contracted this terri
BILE disease by exposure, and it has chung
to me all my life. The disease was
mostly in my right hip and back. 1
have suffered terribly at times, so much
so that in ten minutes it would seem as
though suffered the agonies of life
time. Doctors and medicine seemed to
do no good until this spring, when 1
bought bottle of Aliens Sarsaparilla
for my blood. 1t is a wonderful medi-
cine. 1t seemed as though could feel
it going through every vein, and before
I had taken half bottle could feel the
rheumatism leaving me. Now I have
taken but one bottle and am free from
the disease for the first time in sixty
years. l am cured. One thousand
dollars would not cover the value of this
one bottle of Aliens Sarsaparilla to me.

THE STATION AGENT SPEAKS.

Salt Rheum is very uncomfortable
disease, and is very obstinate and hard
to cure. Mr.. c. E. Keys, Station Agent
at the Maine Central Railroad at Rock
land, who is so we'll known that his tes-
timony is valuable, was cured of his
Salt Rheum by Aliens Sarsaparilla.
RoCKLAND, Me. GcnHemen:-I wish
to give my testimonial for Aliens Sarsa-
parilla, as it has cured me of a very dis
agreeable disease. l had Salt Rheum
all over my hands, and could get nothing
to help me, until began using Aliens
Sarsaparila. had not taken it but
short time when the disease began to
disappear. By the time had taken one
bottle was all we'll, and have seen no
signs of it since. Since taking your
valuable medicine l have been in perfect
health in every way, but l believe 1
would be sick now if had not used it.
1t is worth $500 bottle and would be
cheap at that price. c. E. KEYS, M. c.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
When MOllie Battles the Baby.

When Mollie bathes the baby
lay my book aside
And watch the operation
With deep paternal pridei
scan the dimpled body
OF the struggling little elf,
For undeveloDed points of
Resemblance to myself.
When Molie bathes the baby
She always says to me-
" Isn't he just as cunning
And sweet as he can be2
just see those pretty dimplesl
Aren't his eyes lovely blue2"
And then, You precious darling,
could bite those arms in two"
When Mollie bathes the baby
always say to her.
Look out now, don't you drop him."
And she answers back, d" No, sirp'
Then talk about his rosy cheeks,
The muscles in his arms,
His shapely head, his sturdy legs,
And other manly charms.
When Molie bathes the baby
The household bends its knee,
And shows him greater Difference
Than 1t ever shows to me.
But feel no Jealous goading
As they laud him to the skies,
For every one assures me
That he has his fathers eyes.
