What the Women Did.

Rev. Phebe Hanaford says, 'Ths Biblical text And I will wipe Jerusa lem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping il and turning it upside down, plainly means that ill those days men were en gagged in menial work. She may cl may not be right in this particular in stance. but listen to an extract from ths quaint description of the Egyptians given by William Waterman in ..Ths Fardle of Facions, published over three centuries ago, Their women in old tyme had all the trade of occupying. anG brokage abrode, and reuelled at the Tauerne, and kepte lustie chiere: and the men satte at home spinnyng and woorkyng of Lace. aud suohe other thyngcs as women are wonte.

Long Pointed Bodfces.

In the making. and particularly in the wearing. of long pointed bodices, says a fashion writer, there is very often found some difficulty ill keeping this point in straight position. It has to be carefully boned to secure this result, and even when this is done the end of the point will roll slightly, and for this reason further precaution is suggested. Take a strong piece of fiat elastic. sew one end carefully to the extreme tip of the point --on the underside, of course-and then, slightly stretching the elastic, fast on the other end five or more inches higher. This will cause an upward curve. and when the bodice isworn the defect will right itself and prevent the unsightly rolled up end which is sc often peroeptible on pointed bodices after being worn few times.

Jewish Women.

Speaking of the part Jewish women take ill the worlds progress, the New York Commercial Advertiser says: "The first woman resident in general hos pital in New York was a Jewess, Dr. Josephine Walter. The first woman dentist of Germany was Jewess, Dr. Fanny Sternfeldt. The fifth training school for nurses established in this country was founded by q Jewess, Mrs Alma Hendricks of New York. Int largest scholarship ever bestowed on al art student was given by Jewess, Mrs J. H. Lazarus of New York. May Abrams has become the first woman fac tory inspector i'll London, and the lates projected movement in New York t' empower trained nurses to become i'll spectors of tenement districts has bee, started by Jewess. y

An Airing Indoors.

Elderly people and others who may be temporarily house bound and prevented from enjoying regular daily stroll out doors can devise fair substitute as fol- lows: Bundle up as if for the usual con stitutional, select a large. sunny room, preferably at the top of the house, open wide the windows, shut off the heat and move around briskly, going to the win dow and inhaling the fresh air deeply through the nostrils. We have often called attention to the fact that house air. with it's many impurities, over. heated condition and general lifeless- ness, is one of the principal predisposing causes to colds and catarrhal affections. Where patient or invalid is confined to bed, if the shoulders are kept we'll covered and the head lightly protected, the windows may be opened and the room flushed with fresh air without any special risk, provided the current does not strike them too directly. The danger from want of proper ventilation is decidedly greater. Deep inhalations of air at the open window, taken gently through the nose, impart an enlivening and tonic influence to the whole nervous system, which can soon be demonstrated by a personal experiment.. - Health Magazine

STILL MORE SOLDIERS.
Courier des Etats Unis Says Germany Is
 Now Ahead of France.

Now Ahead of France.
 Since the law passed by the reichstag on the 29th of June, 1896, Germany has taken great stride in advance of France in the matter of military organ ization.
 Our entire effective force in infantry amounts to 324, 400 men, while that of Germany foots up 364, 300, giving the Germans numerical superiority of 40,- GOO foot soldiers.
 On our side of the Vosges the perma- nent garrisons are guarded by 2,427 companies, forming 585 battalions. On the other side of the frontier they num- Der 3, 499 companies and 625 battalions, q majority over France of 40 battaliens.
 The expenses present considerable difference between the two countries. The pay of the French infantry officers, according to the war budget, is nearly $43, GOO, coo, but that of the officers of tho German infantry is not less than S4S, 600, coo.
 In time of peace our soldiers are kept on two meals day, costing $52, 900, 900, while the soldiers GU the other side of tke Rhine are kept and fed on one meal a day by means of an appropriation of $60, 900, GOO.
 Does not this comparison justify the law creating fourth battalion ill each one of the 145 army corps regiments named?
 It is believed that the appropriation which will be asked for on the opening of the session of the chamber will be for 30 additional battalions for 1891

coldness with which she was received ill Newport She, with her husband, occupied the King cottage, on Bellevue avenue, during the summer of 1895 and was not received in the best of society. The men said that Mrs. De Ia Mar was too pretty to be tolerated by the women. Captain De La Mar, who is the owner of Colorado mines, is said to have a prodigious income and has been spoken of as the modern Monte Christo.
