taken advantage of this weakness Of that
part of the people having 1olDles Tor which
they are able to pay
An exercise han should have been started
which would be actually, though not NOM
iuaily, in connection with the confection-~
er's establishment. This should be sup
pied with machines for supplying oxygen
and number of stationary bicycles con-
neCted secretly with the freeZers in sn
adjoining room. These might be used Incl
denially for reducing the temperature Of
the apartment. But that is a detail which
would develop after a time. After this
all that would be necessary of patent bicy-
Gle eXercisers, with a supply Of oxygen
such as could not be found at seaside or
mountain top, and the work would be
done. The benefits to be secured by this
mode of exercise would be physical devel-
opment-nO one but the editor of a beauty
department in a periodical knows how the
wise and foolish, good and bad old and
young, men and women long for physi-
cal development and personal beauty-re-
duction Of superfiUous or increase of de
ficient flesh. and the cure of any of the
thousand ills flesh is heir TO by means
of the two great cure-alls, exercise and
oxygen. incidentally, the confectioner
would be able to freeze cream enough to

ing Of Manchester itself, save the mony
paid the small boy, and the exertion of
his young legs, small boys never need
ing anything in the way of exercise. That
would be one excellent use of the inven-
ton.
The other would be a patent Home Ex-

err The names explain themselves. A
single bicycle would be arranged with the
ice cream freezer attachment. This for
the use of their mistress or maids. If the
mistress of the house felt the need of ex-
ercise and possibly wished to take it in
seclusion and without the restriction Of
tight garments which go to make up
a trim tailor-made bicycle suit, she could
do so at home and a t the same time relieve
her maids of a tiresome part of household
work. 1t would be a pleasure to her. keep
the maids in good humor and put her in
good condition for long ride she might
wish to take on the following day. OF the

out regard to the unitarian part of the

Or if the mistress did not care for this.
the maids would be sure to be cyclists, and
the advantage of providing them this
means of keeping in practice for the
Thursday afternoon out cannot be over
estimated 1t is a consderatio ton which
every right-mnded maid would appreciate
"a means of Tightening her labors, as
well as of increasing her pleasure. It
might be that some simple invention Of
this kind would settle entirely the whole
involved domestic servant problem. It
shows its value on its face, and the sug-
geston of improvement upon the English
coufectioner's original idea is given to the
American public freely.
What takes much away from The
strength of charitable work followed by
the leisure classes" writes Edward Box
in the September Ladies' Home Journal,
lis the woeful misunderstanding of the
needs Of the people whom they would
help. For instance recently a body of
intelligent New York women formed
themselves into an association to give
practical help to farmers wives in iso-
lated places. The idea was, of course,
an excellent one; the field exists for bene-
fetal work but what were the means
of practical help devised? To furnish
looms, spinning wheels and knitting
needles, with proper instructions to far
mers' wives so that they might learn how
10 make lovely embroidery which would
command high prices in the large citesv
Almost on the same day a company of
wealthy Ohio women formed an organi-
cation for the better understanding of
the higher moral laws by the domestics
In our honest A Chicago organization,
just formed, declares for its purpose the
providing of clean and eeVating even
ing amusements for the girls and sales
women of our large stores All these
charities are seriously entered upon, are
Well-intentioned, but they show a pitt
able ignorance of needed reforms. Our
farmers wives are not sitting up nights
looking for something to do. God knows
they need no further burdens, no more
industries their need Is for more rest,
for more forms of recreation, which means
cessation from labor. Our servants do not
stand in need of higher morality as much
as they do of more practical knowledge
of their work and more consideration at
the hands of their mistresses. our shop
girls and sales women are not clamoring
for clean and elevating evening amuse-
ments' so much as that women shall shop
a little more intelligently and systemd-
tically."
There is no other animal in creation
so much like the ostrich as woman"
said the woman beautiful, who consid-
ers She knows a great deal upon the sub
ject of all women's appearance. There
is not one woman in a hundred who
knows how she looks from tip to toe
and consequently there are not many wo-
men who are immaculate and in apple pie
order from tip to toe. The avegare wo-
man, says the New York Times,
has one looking glass, the one on her
bureau, and from that she gets an idea
