Color OF the Eyes.

1t is not generally known that the
eyes of infants are always blue. and
that they do not begin to assume their
permanent color until the sixth or
eighth week. There is. therefore,
truth us we'll as poetry in the state
laent that babies look about them in
-blue-eyed wonder" The wonder
may be left to poets and philosophers,
but the blue is always practical fact.
It is not uncommon to see different
ealofs ia the eyes of the same person,
and even In the same eye half of the
iris is sometimes brown and the other
half blue. There is a popular notion
that dark eyes are stronger than light
ones. There is no truth in this except
so far as they are better protected
against excessive light. Hence light
eyes prevail among northern nations
and dark eyes among the races who
live in the glare of tropical sum-.

CLOTHES PUT ON ICE.
Cold Storage. Groves L Better PFeSen-
tive of Moths THAN Tar Paper
or Moth Balls.

Clothes are put OF ice now during the
summer months. Mems garments and
vomen's alike. 1t is not meant, OF
course, that suits aud dresses are HIT
orally laid upon blocks of ice, there TO
CONCEAL rapidly. bu, that clothes are
actually placed in the coolest OF storage
in the heated term.
Tar paper is remedy Of long stand
ing, as is camphor, but it is said that
the new plan Of the cold storage ware
house is better than either of these.
In the first place. the clothes are not
packed away tightly, but they are hung
on hooks in the storage rooms set
apart for that purpose. and they keep
their shape much better. Then no odor
clings to them when they are taken
home in the fall.
You can hire room for clothes. or q
single hook in room in progressive
cold storage warehouse to-day as you
please. This is more expensive method
of preserving winter clothes through
the summer than the old-fashioned
ways, yet it is not so costly. An odd
feature of the cold storage of clothes Is
that boots are now being received, and
it seems to be II popular thing to put
them on Ice, too.-Chicago Tribune.

account articles which are usually the

In every house there are bound to be
several old shoes lying about In corners
and cupboards, and these, by pair OF
clever hands, can be metamorphosed
into something that serves at the same
time for use and ornament. lady's
workcase made out of an old shoe sounds
rather funny, but anyone following the
directions here given for making such
a case will be astonished and delighted
at the result.
Take the shoe and remove with a
sharp knife all the upper except that
portion at the end known as the toecap.
Then trim very carefully with the knife
or with a sharp pair of scissors the
rough free edge of the toecap until
you have the projecting edge quite
smooth.
Next stand the shoe on 4 piece of
cardboard and mark the outline in pen
ell. This is TO be cut out, as is also an
other piece of exactly the same size.
Each piece thus obtained is placed one
inside and one outside the shoe, and the
whole covered very neatly with some
pretty material, velvet or satin pre-
ferred, the stitched side being turned
under. Cut out some pieces Of flannel
to put needles in. and sew them to the
front of the shoe, just under the ribbon
bow shown in the illustration.
Now for the toe. Cut piece of paper
like the toe of your shoe, see that it has
the cardboard sole, and then use it for
pattern TO cut the cardboard with.
You will only need one piece, and this
is to be covered with material to match
the sole, lined neatly and sewn to the
sole.
A pretty cord is then to be sewn right
around the edge of the shoe, loop left
to hang it up by. and ribbon bow tied
in the middle of the shoe.
Put scissors and cotton In the pockets,
needles in the flannel and pins in the
top, just under the hanging loop, and
you have a workcase that will not dis
grace any room.-N. Y. Herald.

SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN.
The First American Woman to Take
stand for the Rights
of Her Sex.

When, on the oath of June, the
assembly of 1847-6 was in session,
doubtless occupied with discussing the
affairs of the-province, their rights as
freemen, etc, they were startled by
the appearance of Mistress Margaret
Brent upon the scene, who demanded
both voice and vote for herself in the
assembly by virtue of her position as
Gov. Calvert's attorney. Alas for Mis-
tress Brent and her appreciation Of
the rights of her sex! The governor
promptly and ungallantly refused her.
The injured lady, as her only means of
retaliation, protested against all the
acts of the session as invalid, unless
her vote was received as well as the
votes of the male members.
BY this action Margaret Brent UNI
doubtediy placed herself on record as
the first woman in America to make a
stand for the rights of her sex. 1t is
surprising to find how little this fact
is known. In SO comprehensive and
authoritative work as the history OF
woman's suffrage edited by Susan

extraordinary woman. In fact. it is
there stated that a revolutionary
dame, Mrs. Abigail Smith Adams, wife
of John Adams. of Massachusetts, was
the first champion of woman's rights
in America. In March, 1776. Mistress
Adams wrote to her husband. then at
the continental congress in Phila-
delphia: II long o hear that you have
declared for independence. but I de-
sire that you should remember the
ladies'. -. If particular care is not
paid the ladies =. we will not hold
ourselves bound to obey laws in which
we have no voice or Representations.
We are not told how John Adams re-
piled to this epistle from his fair
spouse. but we do know that in the
famous Declaration of Independence.
where all men are declared free and
equal. the women received no more
consideration than did Margaret
Brent nearly one hundred and fifty
years before. = Caroline Sherman
