4 MODEL APARTMENT-HOUSE.

The constantly increasing number OF apartment
houses In New-York argues strongly In favor OF
that mode of living. On the West Side. perhaps,
above Fifty-ninth-st., the greater number are In
process of construction. The apartment house life
has its drawbacks, however. unless every possible
difficulty Is met and overcome. Servants seem
more easily suited when all work Is carried on on
one floor An excellent feature Is connected with
the handsome apartment house No. 6l5 Fifth-ave..

CONGRESS OF MOTHERS.

One of the most interesting, as
it will be one of the most instruc-
tive and practical, gatherings ever
assembled in Washington, is the
international Congress of Mothers,
which is to hold its sessions there
in February. 1t is to he strictly
nonsectarian, and the motive of its
being lies in the recognition of the
great necessity for improving the
methods of training and educating
children. The physical, mental
and moral needs of the child are to
have consideration. In the an
nouncement of The congress it is
stated that arguments will be
made in favor of better sanitation
in the nursery, better books for
youth in the library, common
sense clothing at home and at
school, simplicity in food, system
attic gymnastics, and courses in
manual training to render educa-
ton practical This is a most.
comprehensive program, to be
sure, but it embraces all the essen
tials of child-rearing, and forms a
ask, both in point of deliberation,
aud in execution, with which no
class of people are as competent

An important Office.

To properly fill its Office and func-
tions. it is important that the blood be
pure. When it is in such a condition,
the body is almost certain to be healthy
A complaint It this time is catarrh in
some of its various forms. A slight cold
develops the disease in the head. Drop
pings of corruption passing into the
lungs bring on consumption. The only
way to cure this disease is to purify the
blood. The most obstinate cases of
catarrh yield to the medicinal powers
of Hoods Sarsaparil'a as If by magic,
simply because it reaches the seat of
the disease, and by purifying and vital
izing the blood, removes the cause Not
only does Hoods Sarsaparil,a do this.
but it gives renewed vigor to the whole
system, making it possible for good
health to reign supreme.

dren is an important question.
Upon 1t may depend the success
or failure of a lifetime. Body
and mind are plastic in the young,
and in proper hands and by pro
per methods can be nodded as is
the clay by the potter. No alb
solute rule can be laid down, of
course, for the government of all
children, for the differentiation
of individua,ities must be taken
into consideration. There are,
however, fundamental principles
and Jules which can and should
regulate the matter geurally and
it IS to these that the congress OF
mothers will undoubtedly apply
itself There is wisdom in a
multitude of counselors," says
the old adage. and the cause OF
cnild>training cannot fail to be
benefited by the interchange OF
opinion and experience in a
gathering of those whose mos,
gracious title is that of mother.
