Sensible
Nursing Bottle.

The common, everyday nurs-
ing bottle is built on poor plan.
1t has but one opening. Through
this the milk is admitted, and
from it, through a nipple, the
child struggles to get it out. The
law of physics cannot be ignored
even in so simple a thing as a
nursing bottle. The vacuum left
by the milk must be filled. The
nipple collapses, and to relieve
this the child stops feeding for a
moment. Air rushes into the
bottle. The child starts feeding
again, and repeats the perform
ance until the contents are taken.
The "Best Nurser" is made on
a novel plan. A valve in the
bottom of the bottle admits air
as the contents are taken. The
child feeds easily, without any
danger of wind collie; no collaps-
ing nipple, no worrying, crying
infant. Price % cents.

Flax-colored travelling costumes are chos-
en- by many fashionable women.
Crusts of bread are better than a soft
cloth for rubbing photographs, engravings
or paintings, to remove soiled marks and
dust. The bread should be twenty-four
hours old.
All things considered, solution of
gall and warm soft water, in the proper
ton of one pint of the former to two gall
Ions of the latter, is the best cleansing and
freShening agent for CARPETS. If spots are
obstinate use white soap also.
Victorian corsages, glove-ftting almost
seamless, and laced up the back will be
very general this season among elegant
evening toilets for slender, youthful women.
These bOdiceS were very much in evidence
at the Queens recent drawing rooms, hence
their great popularity.
When perfumes are not disagreeable to a
patient it is well to use them freely in a
sick room, they are a protection against
contagion. 1t is said that if lavender water
is sprayed through the living rooms of
houses situated in a malarial locality, it
will prevent the occupants from contracting
the disease.
Professor Shuetuck says: Eat fruit for
breakfast Eat fruit for luncheon. Avoid
pastry. Shun mullins and crumpets and but
tered toast. Eat whole meal bread. Decline
potatoes if they are served more than once
a day Do not drink tea or coffee Walk
four miles every day. Take a bath every
day. Wash the face every night in warm
water and sleep eight hours. You will never
need nerve medicine"
Muslin gowns, being exclusively hot
weather gowns, are cut down in the neck,
sometimes merely in a point. but oftener in
a deep and wide square shape--3a la pompa-
dour. This opening is then filled in with
some pretty transparent net or muslin
plain or accordion -pleated-and the space
framed with a fall of lace or narrow
pleated ruche. Other muslin gowns are
folded in the very popular surplce form,
the waist showing diagonal pleats sweep
ing from the right shoulder to the extreme
left of the waist, where is placed very long
narrow loops of satin or velvet ribbon.
Now that burlap can be had in almost
any desired color its use as wall hangings
is growing. 1t is put on as a dado, in panels,
or entire wall stretches from Dashboard to
frieze are covered with it. 1t is certainly
artistic in effect, but the sanitary authority
frowns upon II, preferring a papered or
smooth-finished wall so far as his standard
of cleanliness is concerned. The loose weave
of the burlap makes the fabric good dust
holder. 1t is difficult to get ii all out, even
with the use of stiff brush. Still this OBJ
lection is simply a comparative one, and
is often overruled. From the decorators
point of view it must be remembered that
the wall treatment with burlaps has tend
ency to reduce the size of the room, and
should be applied, therefore, with that
knowledge taken into consideration.

Women's Love of Dress.

New York Tribune.
How much a woman should think about
dress is a difficult question to answer
That her appearance, and thus indirectly
her clothes, may have an important lnt1u-
ence on her life, no one will deny, and that
it is her duty to make herself attractive
to her family and her friends is also true;
but a woman who is ostentatiously or ex-
uravagantly gOwned not only oftends
against good taste, but actually commits
social crime, although she may sin quite
unconsciously, for it is a lack of moral per-
ception that causes her to spend more time
and money upon her personal adornment
than is proper On the other hand, to dress
well without extravaganza is sure to com
mand respect and admiration, and 1t is not
an unworthy cause wherein TO use one
energy and even mental gifts. -
1t is palmetto to see a VAN woman ar
rayed in bonnets and gowns that nave cost
her an excessive amount OF money anu SA-
ertion. Her restless consciousness her de-
sire to attract attention (never satlshed
unless she obtains what she deems TO be
admiration) are pitifui. For rlch woman
however, to dress too simply ana 1neXpen-
sively is another extreme which IS equally
to be deplored. 1t is her duty to spend
largely, but judiciously, and supply work
for industrious breadWinners. IL is SAD
that Self-respect in attire (not savage Or
namentation, but the art OF dresSlng) is
not natural endowment, ana must be
cultivated, but the motives Wnlcn are gen
orally urged to incite an appreciation Tor
dress in the young are often most un-
worthy. Rivalry, social ambition, the ad-
miration of men, the envy OF other women
are all fostered by the ill-advfsed methods
of fashionable life, while self-respect,
which should really be the. underlying
principle of dress, is seldom, if ever, given
a part in this vital question. Dress should
be put on moral grounds, like any other
duty in life, and treated from that stand
point And such a potent factor and intlu-
ence in our lives should be made to elevate
and not weaken the character. From earli-
est childhood the woman child Is susceptl-
BILE of instruction in this respect, and it
would be easy at that plastic age to turn
the love of finery into better channel. 1t
is true that men form their first judgment
of women from clothes, but an excess of
showiness or want of daintiness invariably
makes a disagreeable impression. First,
clea nliness, then neatness in adjustment
and finally the becoming should be studied
not the inverse order that is commonly fol-
lowed. Self-respect in dress maintains a
delicate proportion between sef-indulgence
and self-restraint. And such an all-impor-
tant influence in feminine lives should be
given a higher place in the education of
the young. As it cannot be ignored, it
should be directed, not restrained, and
made a virtue a weakness.

to a story, which will have done it's work
especially well if it lulls them to actual
slumber. The matter of too persistent
bathing has been many times alluded to,
much repetition. Overindulgence in fresh
water bathing is more injurious than too
much floundering in the sea, and also, un-
fortunately, the former is more apt to be
prolonged to the danger length. Buffeting
in the waves of old ocean soon tires even
the strong, and the bather is ready to leave
the water, but sp1ashing about in the placid
depths of lake or quiet river is insdious-
ly restful at the time, and, to boys partic-
ularly the limit of indulgence seems
much too quickly drawn line. 1t is the
opinion, however, of many medical men
who have written and spoken on the sub
Ject that twenty minutes twice a day, at
proper intervals between meals is the
maximum of indulgence in this pleasure.
principles fifteen minutes with the swim
ming master, morning and afternoon, is
the rule.

The Successful Woman.

Philadelphia Press.
We were sitting on the broad piazza of
a suburban home talking about successful
women.
Our hostess referred to q certain young
journalist in New York who was said to be
making an income of $4,000 a year by her
newspaper work.
guest spoke of a young Southern girl in
Paris who is a BLACK and white" illus
traitor. Both of these girls began poor
they said. and their success in arriving at
comfortable incomes was debated upon.
And then we all argued amiably on the
subject of what makes a woman successful
Not that we arrived at any conclusion for
the sunshine made us too languorous; the
green lawn rolled to the creek too
seduetively. the blue misty beauty of Della
ware county stretched out too alluringly,
and the ice tea and mffins on the shaded
piazza were too tempting for any mortal to
be sensible. Especially happy mortals on
the happy day IN an ideally charming
house,
But a girl who was keen beyond her kind
in judging life and its affairs looked up
from a lazy position IN a steamer chair
and said: Il suppose the women of whom
you speak are successful in a way. But
you are the really successful woman, my
dear" and she looked at our young hostess

progress of women that are of general and
deep interest. He shows that in the three
Womens colleges proper, Elmira, Vassar
and Barnard. the number of students in
creased in five years 50 per cent, or almost
IL per cent. per annum. This IS greater
than the percentage of growth in any other
branch of education III the State. The re-
port shows further that in such institu-
lions as the Normal College and Pratt In
stitute the number of women receiving a
special or high education exceeds eight
thousand. The total of all the women stu
dents in the colleges and similar institu-
tons in the State is more than thirty-t1ve
thousand, and is but little below the num-
Der of men in New York colleges.
Other figures in the report are equally
significant For example, the number OF
woman teachers engaged in collegiate work
has increased 81 per cent. in hVe years,
while there has been an increase. of only
80 per cent. in the number OF men thus en-
nloved. And there is whole volume of sug
