KEEP GIRLS AT WORK.
A Remedy That is Suggested for Fits
of Depression.

of Depression.
Many a mother Is distressed almost be-
yond endurance by what she calls fits Of
depression" In her daughter, and because
she knows no remedy for 1t. She immedi-
ately rushes off and buys her a new gown
or a hat or a coat, plans a trip for her a
party, or most anything else that seems to
promise distraction, and that will get her
mind away from herself. 1t is a good deal
like giving a child who is crying from sheer
irritation caused by indigestion a lot Of
candy to distract its attention. 1t will for
get for time, and then 1t will be crosser
than ever because you have only fed the
disease an opiate. When the effect has
passed away the disease will eat deeper
than ever.
The proper thing to do for a girl who suf-
fers from fits Of depression Is to give her
something to live for In nine cases out of
ten the cause Of depression is lack of reg
ular occupation and corresponding interest
In life. 1t Is unfortunate that so many
girls are not obliged to do anything. 1t is
hard to get interested In work that one
feels is not absolutely necessary for one to
perform unless the object appeals to some
need Of ones nature, and then we do 1t for
love, and not for emolument or reward.
Girls didn't have fits Of depression before
1t became lowering to help with the house
work. You will find in the home where the
girls take turns at doing the chamber work,
washing the dishes, helping with the mend
ing, sewing. darning and sweeping, to light
en- the mothers burden. there are no fits Of
angry tears. no depressed spells. There Is
lSno time and less inclination.
The household duties. although light, keep
the system active, the blood stirred up and
the liver in good working order, and when
the liver works properly the microbes Of
depression flee To insure a girls happiness

POrcelains.
From Llppincott's Magazine.

From LippjncOtt's Magazine.
From the standpoint of the fine arts 1t
matters very little whether an object is
ancient or modern, foreign or domestic,
so long as 1t Is fine; but 1t Is popularity
of the Japanese lover of fine arts to collect
foreign and antique things.
This is shown by the relative values plac-
ed by our collectors on different kinds Of
pottery or porcelain. First comes pottery
made in Corea itself; secondly. very an
Gent Japanese pottery; thirdly. Chinese
porcelains, especially of single colors. In
fact, where pottery or porcelain Is con-
cerned, the Japanese collectors care very
little for high finish or elaborate ornamental
ton; a rough, sketchy, but at the same time
picturesque design Is far more pleasing to
them than the graceful form and rich deco
ration which Americans and Europeans
usually admire.
The real reason, however, why the Japa-
nese attach such fanciful value to old
vessels Is due to the tea ceremony" for
which antique and unique vessels are held
I'm high esteem. Thus. in the time of Taiko
Hideyoshi when the tea ceremony" was in
the height of the fashion, we hear of a
single bowl of the Coraap ware being sold
for some thousands of dollars or tea-jar
bag made from the sash (obD worn by a
noted poetess, for some hundreds.

to express too much. Though women are
often tired Of themselves md Of each other,
and do not hesitate to say so, this Is only
a temporary WEAKNESS and does not at all
express the feelings Of a misogonist toward
women generally. Indeed, this woman who
