~ am trying this winter cOnfided one
OF group OF mothers to her listeners,
the other afternoon, 1.-THE Chinese plan
to prevent sickness in my family. You
know they pay their medical advisers only
when they are well. With illness the fees
stop. So far there has not been a cold,
and only one slight attack OF indigestion
among my five children. I've offered a
prize to each one OF them who will preserve
an unbroken record OF health till the list
day of May, and with this end in view they
listen patiently, and. what is better. heeC-
fully to my brief lecture at the beginning
OF the season on how 10 keep well. They
don't follow their friends to the doors and
stand ip the cold for Il little more talking;
they don't sit on the stone steps as they did
in July. and as they are apt to do throughout
the year. Ny nine-ycar-old boy actually
came in and changed wet stockings for dry
ones the other day. something unhcard OF

WHERE WOMAN RULES.
In u Tiny Little IsIa nd Off the Coast
of India.

"HERE is still hope that America may
become as civilized as Minicoy.
There is a little piE-hcad island
off the southern coast OF India
where woman rules the roost and
man knuckics under. 1t is called Minicoy.
and is situated midway between the Mai
dive and Lacadive Islands.
While travelling in India not long since
an English tourist came ACROSS an official
report of Miniooy, and his attention was
attracted by the following entry: Every
woman in the island is dressed in silk.
The gowns fiji closely around the neck and
reach to the ankles. The upper classes
wear red silk and earrings of a peculiar
fashion. The lower caste women are re-
stricted to the use of dark striped silk
of a coarser quality. Every husband
must provide his wife with one candy
$3.50 pounds of rice, two silk gowns and
two suits of underclothes year. He also
presents her on marriage with n fine betel
pouch drought from Galle), and a silver
ornament containing reCeptaccs for lime
and tobacco. and instruments of strange
forms for cleaning the ears and teeth.
The women appear freely in public, and
take the lead in everything except naviga.

As We Sow .

IL has been SO soon since the world began
And it will be SO soon to the end;
For the world was built on a certain plan
And no matter what we intend
The rewards of life will be given out
As over the route We go.
And there isn't even the shadow of doubt
But Wen reap just what we SOW.
IF we scatter tarcs on every side,
Then nothing but tares will we reap
IF we trample on hearts in lofty pride,
Then 1t follows that we must weep.
For Sorrow will travel on the heels of Sin,
NJ matter where we may go,
Till the gates of the future we've entered in
We shall reap just what we sow.
And every day sees its harvest time,
But the harvest is never the same;
For the seed springs up in the warm sun
shine
And it blossoms In love or shame;
And the grave closes overthe Swallowed past
The curtain fails on the show,
But till death rings it down 1t the very last
We shall reap just what We sow.

Osprey Aigrette.

At the opera, lately, more than one
pretty woman wore white osprey aigrcttes,
fastened with jewelcd brooch. In thcir
adjustment these ornaments have nothing
of the old fashion of planting them
straight at the top of the head, from
whence they arc allowed to wave like the
topkpot of vain bird. Now they are
placed low at the left side of the couture,
almost behind the ear. In some cases, in
deed. the tip of the aigrettc does not reach
the crown of the head, which produces, in
darkly brunette cases, an effect that is
charningly Spanish and provocative of ten
der conjcctures.

Too Bea utiful for Words.

Descriptions of the new summer silks
would fill u book. and can only say that
they are the loycliest, dainticst things
that one ca n possibly stretch her ina gination
to picture. The printed ones are the most
beautiful and are in many cases exact
copies of rare old stuffs in museums when
fabric painting and weaving was an art
greater than it is today. Flower designs
play the most important part, and are
scattered in clusters and wreaths and gar
lands all over the groundwork. Some
striped pompadour silks are exceedingly
effective. and are made up into nlousselinc
de sole or lace for the bodies.
