Overburdened School Children.

From the Ladies' Home Journal
we try to teach too much. and so destroy
the sensitiveness of the mind and render it
less susceptible. 1t is not so easy to excite
an interest In any subject. The child re-
spends languidly to our efforts to stimulate
him. We have given him more mental
rabulum than he can digest or assimilate,
and he feels the plethora that follows re-
pletion. Abandoning metaphor and stating
the case in plain English, our school chill
dren have too many subjects to study and
are required to spend too much time in
purely mental labor. As result of this
they cannot accomplish their work during
school hours. and are forced to use the
time which should be devoted to relaxation
and recreation at home to learn the lessons
that ought to be mastered at school

MISPLACED SENTIMENT.
Doing a Task Well is Doing 1t Honor
ably.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
We heard the other day Of young wo-
man whose circumstances obliged her to
seek employment. She was a mistress Of
the dainty art of thanksgiving, and as at
present there is a demand for dainty work
of this kind, exquisitely done. she had not
far to seek a market for her labor. The
home in which she and her dear ones lived
was dependent upon her success in the line
for which she had ability and in which she
had opportunity.
A lady anxious to employ the girl sent for
her, with the intention OF giving her lib
eral order To her surprise, on entering the
room where the young woman had been
shown, the lady was greeted by eyes swim
ming with tears, trembling hands. ana
voice aQuiver with eager protestation. Il
am so afraid the young woman FASTENED
to say, that you viii not know that am
lady. / never was brought up to do any
kind of work. My father was ricn man,
and had people 10 wait on me. and lived in
q house as nice as this. j never expected to
have to work for my living"
The scene might have been pathetic had It
not been absurd. In way II was pathetic,
for it revealed very clearly the inherent
weakness and the false pride of a char
acter such as this girl displayed. In dem
ocratic country, where the millionaire may
be the grandson of a day Iaborer and where
ally are day laborers, IL is absurd to the
last degree that the accident of poverty or
wealth should come to the front at all as
factor in cases like this.
The girl had not ceased to be a lady-if
we attach to the word lady the meaning
happily given to il by Hamerton, namely,
"a woman in high state of civilization''-
because il had become necessary that she
should earn her bread by honest work Her
ladyhood was not touched, did not enter al
all into the transaction. She should have
been as dignifed. should have felt as indie
pendent. in resolving work as the other did
in rendering it.
The feeling that one kind OF work Is nec-
essarily more honorable than another is en-
tirely opposed to the self-respectins thought
of American women. Whatever work comes
to cne's hand-whether ii be painting pic
lures or washing dishes. scrubbing floors or
making cake, writing poetry or designing
embroidery. selling goods or nursing the
sick-it makes no difference. 1t is the doing
OF task thoroughly and well that is the
honorable thing, and the girl who performs
her work perfectly. finishing IL as IT should
be, with no loose threads either literal or
fulfilling all her duties patient
ly and serenely, is truly in her right
place and is as worthy of honor and respect
as the most exquisite woman who rides in
her carriage.
In point OF fact. many of our busy wo-
men of wealth could, at a moments notice
change places with their cooks or seam
stresses, and do the work these do surpass-
ingly well; nor would they be in the least
in all departments, and she who explains
herself and apologies when seeking for
work proves only that she is stupid and NOT
in touch With the period

for the precious metals than women are
making. They wear silver trinkets till a
Navajo Indian would feel out-shone in the
very metal which he has helped to make
attractive for personal adornment. A
Navajo will wear seventeen silver bracelets
on one arm, and the same number of
copper ones on the other. The society
woman puts the same amount Of silver into
one bracelet, which is composed Of seven
teen rings of silver, held together with a
curiously-chased slide Of copper. The
Navajo wears exquisitely chased silver
buttons on his leggins and moccasins. and
the society woman makes cuff buttons,
shirt studs. garter clasps, belt buckles and
earrings Of her silver. The Navajo wears
a big breastplate OF silver, which is known
as his "totem," and which has chased upon
1t the legendary characters OF his tribe.
The society woman wears the breastplate
under her throat and at her belt in the
shape Of barbaric buckles. and they do not
mean anything. except that she has some
money to spend, and the silver stuff will
make as big a show for the expenditure as
anything that she can buy, IL being the
fashion to wear silver.
Fashion and Style.
It Is always fashionable to wear silver or
naments in the Navajo country, but one
could hardly aver that it is stylish at all
times So it is just now in civilization the
fashion to wear throat laches of most gor-
geous proportions. but they cannot be said
TO be always stylish. These throat buckles
are OF gold and silver. and cost from twelve
10 nifty dollars Most OF them are base imi-
tations of the pure metals. and sell for two
ana three dollars; but, whatever their cost,
they are not pretty, and they are only a
remove from being positively vulgar. Some
OF tnem are heavily crusted with imitation
gems. and the woman who will wear one
on the street ought to be looked upon with
Sosplcion short time ago very stylish
BACK combs and pins for the hair were
made Of exquisitely chased silver, or fIigree
silver; now the shop counters are covered
with the fashionable stuff for the same
uses exactly, but made on a massive scale

wool, both in black and black combined
with a color. These come in double width

are among the prettiest goods of the spring.

not so prominent as IL is some seasons.
though 1t is always popular, and, in thin
materials, very much worn in summer by
well-dressed women.
The parasols, which have been making
such butterfly displays in the shops, are
particularly lovely and airy creations. Chif-
fon and lace insertions are seen IN many
of black or white. while changeable effects
of every imaginable description and color
make very charming effects. A decided
novelty is the trimming of dark blue para
soils with deep frills of white chiffon,
pleasing combination, both for looks and
comfort, for the dark silk is restful as a
