Boys Attempt to Burn Little kaga-
muffin at the Stake.
Rose Jackson, a colored woman,
Admiral Gherardi, rescued a half
witted child Tuesday morning, who
had been bound to "A stake in South
Brooklyn by mischievous boys and
burned. Rose has been serving AS
keeper for Mrs. Shirley Davis,
of Culpeper county, Virginia, who
lives at Remsen street, Brooklyn.
About 8 o'clock Tuesday morning
she heard the cries OF a child, and.
going to the front door, she saw u
little ragamuHin tied hand and foot
to the iron lamp-pOst in the middle
OF the block. At his feet was pile
of newspapers, which had been set
on fire. Two street urchins were
looking on and listening with APP
parent satisfaction to the cries of
their victim.
Rose screamed and Mrs. Davis
came to a front window, and, in re-
spouse to the servants request,
threw out pair of scissors. Rose
Jackson then cut the bonds which
held the boy and released him.
Between his so5s, the lad said he
lived on Poplar street, poor sec
ton in the sGme neigborhood, and
that the boys had prosecuted him
before. 1t was apparent that the
boy was half-witted. After his
wounds had been dressed he was
turned over to the police. 1t is ex-
pected that the boys who undertook
to burn him at the stake will be
arrested in day or two.-New York
telegram to the st. Louis Republic.

A woman who is married in a
travelling dress ought not to have
any bridesmaids. Her bouquet can
be held during the ceremony by the
relative who gives her away, and
when a couple are married and
leave at once for their honeymoon
journey, the groom goes to the train
or steamship in the frock coat in
which he was married.

MOTHERHOOD AS A PROFESSION.
Lack of Proper Training Tor it the Cause
of Most of the Illness Among
Children,

Lack of Proper Training Tor it the Cause
of Most of the Illness Among
Children.
Ideal motherhood is the work not
of instinct, but of enlightened knowl-
carefully digested," writes Helen
Watterson Moody, of 1.-The True
Meaning of Motherhood" in the
May Ladies' Home Journal. IF
maternity is an instinct, moth erhood
is profession; and yet many a girl
undertakes it with less understand
ing of it's duties and less anxiety for
their discharge than she gives to the
selection of the tailor who is to
make her new gowns, or the Co.'S
tunes of the bridesmaids in her
wedding procession. 1t is quite the
fashion, nowadays, in well-to do
families, to provide the daughters
with some special training by means
of which they could earn their own
bread and butter if the family for
tunes should suddenly fail. 1t is
held to be altogether wise and proper
to educate daughter for possible
profession in remote contingency,
yet while nineteen out of twenty OF
our girls marry and become mothers,
no training whatever for the real
profession of their lives is thought
to be necessary. Any practicing
physician will tell you that four
fifths of the illness among children
could be avoided by proper knowl
edge and care on the part of the
mothers, and yet our girls feel that
they must take up college settlement
work, and scientific whist and the
banjo to get a little excitement into
their lack lustre lives until the
! great excitement of marriage
| comes.n

The Well-POised Figure.

1t is safe to say that not one wo-
man in twenty carries herself gr race
fully, and yet, next to actual beauty
of feature and coloring, nothing adds
so much to wOman's attractive
appearance as well-poised figure
and an erect carriage.
Knowing the immense advantage
it gives to woman, whether she be
plain or beautiful, short or tall, it
has always seemed strange to me
that so few are willing to acquire
the habit of holding themselves we'll
which, once mastered, is never
lost.
In acquiring the habit braces are
useless; athletic exercises are ben
etcial only to the degree that they
strengthen the general system and
improve the health. An appeal to
vanity, little of which is a very de-
sirable commodity in women, seem
to be the only method that influences
young girls and, [ think, older wo-
men, too. But this often fails, and
when it does braces should be re-
sorted to. The chief trouble lies in
self.indulgence and an unwill-
ingness to make the necessary
exertions to strengthen the muscles
of the waist and back, thus depriv-
ing oneself of one of the most faci-
mating charms of womanhood.-By
Mrs. Mary Easton.

Invitation Etiquette.

Too many persons are negligent in
acknowledging the receipt of we'd
ding invitation, or are puzzled to
know just how such an invitation
should be treated, accepted or re-
GREETED. Ore fixed rule to keep in
mind is the Importance of acknowl-
edging this courtesy and doing so
promptly.

So
Wedding Etiquette of the Date.
Until this season bride elects never
appeared at any social gathering of
Importance after their wedding cards
were issued. That rule is now dead
letter, and up to the day before her
wedding, young woman is seen
everywhere. OF course this is the
natural result of the recent and rea.
sonable revolt against putting to-
gether an elaborate trousseau.
Smart girls in New York society, for
instance, who are marrying this
spring, have provided themselves
with suitable wardrobes for the sea-
son and nothing more, and this,
with the getting of the wedding
dress, has left them time and
strength for all the passing gaities
of the moment.
Another new and interesting point
in the present busy hymenial season
is the very early sending out of invi-
tations. Cards are posted just a
month before the day of the we'd
ding, and a rule somehow has arisen
ordaining that directly on receipt of
the invitation the wedding present
must be sent, or within four days af-
ter receiving the invitation. By
this means the bride is not troubled
with the struggling in of gifts up to
the very day of the ceremony, and a
heavy demand on her vocabulary of
thanks all the week preceding her
marriage and maybe the week after.

For this spring new type of an
nouncement card has been issued
very successfully. 1t consists of a
small bristol board square bearing
the maiden name and address of the
lady, tied by bit of white ribbon to
a larger card on which is engraved
her married name coupled with that
of her husband, and then below
their address and day at home.

IRRIGATION PROJECT OF MAGNI

Arizona will, in the course of few year, have the greatest storage basin in the world. It is proposed to impound the water of the Salt river during the spring and winter, for irrigation and other purposes. This will be located in the mountains sixty miles from Pioenix The United States government has granted to the Hudson Reservoir X Can al company this basin, known as the
 'Tonto Bssin," to be used as a storage reservoir. The comany har completed all it's engineering work, and plans and specifications from the dam have just been completed. It proposes to build dam at the head of the canyon, where the river emerges from the basin, thus creating lake, which will cover eigh- teen square miles to a depth of from 100 to POO feet. It will be necessary to build s damof 200 feet high and some GOO feet in length at the top, although the can yon is only POO feet wide from the first 100 feetfAsm tire bottom. The territory of Arizona has granted the company the use O. the channel of the Salt river in which to convey the waters thus stored to the valley below, and the stored wat. CTS will therefore, Do turned back into the channel as needed and. cOnveved through the the canyon for a distance of thirty miles to tho head of the vcley, where the first diverting dam is found To construct this great storage reservoir which will be the largest in the world, will cost, it is estimated. about $2,5OO,- 000.-Tombstone Prospector.

Hon John w. Kingman, for four years jUjse of the U $. Supreme court of Wyoming, says:
 "Weman suffrage was in inaugurated in 1869 without much discussion, and without any general movement of men or women in it's favor. At that time few women voted. At each election since, they have votedin large numbers, and now nearly all go to the polls.
 It is very common now, in considering the availability of an aspirant for office, to ask, How does he stand with tne ladIes? Frequently the men sets aside certain applications for office, because their characters would not stand the criticism of women. The women man. ifest great deal of independence in their preference for candidates, and have frequently defeated bad nomina- tion.
 do not believe that suffrage causes women to neglect their domestic affairs. Certainly, such has not been the case in Wyoming. never heard man com. plain tlat his wife was less interested in domestic economy because she had the right to vote, and took an interest in making the community respectable The opposition to womon suffrage at first was pretty bitter. To-day I think you could not get dozen respectable in any locality to oppose it.
 We have had no trouble from the presence of bad women at the poles. It had been said that the delicate women would shrink away, and the bold and indelicate come to the front in public af- fairs. This we feared; but nothing of the kind has happened.

ODDITIES OF POISONING.
Some May Eat with Impunity Certain Foods Which Are Rank
 POiSOns to Others.

The constitutional differences and peculiarities which exist among indi- viduals should always be carefully watched and considered. One person can handle poison ivy with impunity while another is poisoned ifonly in the vicinity of the vine andwlthout contact Some members in a family residing in a nalaEial district will suffer regularly with chills and fever, while other mem- bers will not be at all effected.
 Food that is actually poisonous to some persons. may eat all kinds of green fruit and vegetables with impunity, while another person could do so only at the risk of life. Certain kinds oftish are actualk poisonous to some people and perfectly wholesome to others.
 It is the peculiar condition to the sys- tenn which cofistltutes the danger point in the individual case and should be prudently observed by each one for himself Intestinal Arrangements fre- quently arise from and are aggravated by certain kind of food. Thus person affected with kidney or liver troubles should not eat very white bread since the extreme whiteneSs is often produced by the use of alum with an inferior article of four, and as alum is known to be poisonous in it's effects on sound constitution, this is why alum baking powder is never used by people of judg- ment and direction.
 More of earthly happiness depends upon what we eat that many people re- alize and it is for this reason that the different states are one by one passing pure food laws.
