tuted early and what late bedtime.
Some Of the ladies maintained that
10 o'clock was the limit between the
two; others thought that early bed
time lasted until IL, and few who
believed in beauty sleep pleaded
that early bedtime began at s and
ended at $3.50 O'Clock.
So many people are engaged all
day, and the dinner hour is neces-
sarily, in city life, deferred to so late
an hour, that families do not break
up from their quiet evenings until
after 10. Society pushes its hours
later and later, and the votaries of
fashion come near having no bed
time at all, snatching their rest
when they can between one gay rout
and another. The invalid and the
aged person and the child must per-
force retire early.
For those steady-going persons
who regulate their lives by rule. and
who habitually rise at an early hour
and breakfast pnnctually at 7 o clock
10 is certainly good bedtime hour.
Brain worker would find their ac
count in seeking the repOse of the
chamber, with preferably Opaque
curtains to exclude the light of the
moon and street lamp alike, at 10
o'clock.
A long sleep rests the min6 as well
as the body, and prepares one for
the work of the next day, whatever it
may be. Far better than an Opiate
or narcotic is the habit of seeking
the pillow at an early hour, and
quietly lying still, with closed eyes
and relaxed limbs, until sleep, gent
ly wooed, comes with its healing
touch and sofrly weaves its spells Of
balm.
The good doctor probably meant
by early bedtime any hour between
and $3.50, and regarded the later
period as between 8 80 and midnight.
Growing children cannot too care
fully be enjoined to get plenty of
sleep. The boy or girl who has les
sons to learn must waken early after
good nights rest, and this is in
sured only. by punctutlity in retir
ing. Eight o'clock is a good bed
time for all young people under Is,
and should be insisted upon by par
ents.-Harper's Bazaar.

Fair are the flowers and the children,

What to Do With Girls.

God has given woman heart and
brain aud hands. 1t lis ordained
therefore, that she shall use them.
What the mother should do with her
girl is simply to teach her to help
herself. From her infancy she must
be impressed with the sense of self
reliance and self support. This is
the first teaching.
Where possible give her the best
kind of education. AS she grows the
habit of self reliance will grow with
her.
| believe in absolute freedom. |
believe in the free association of the
sexes, because each acts as a whole
some restraint on the other; there
fore the mother must allow her girl
to mix freely with boys and girls
alike.
The duty of providing her with an
independent livelihood, with pro-
fession or trade is imperative on al
mothers, although the vast majority
neglect il. ....
The whole system OF husband get
ting is immoral and bad. The one
way to start girl in life is to make
her the mistress of profession OF
trade. Teach her to treat husband
as merely an incident in her life
and not as her only hope.-Elizabett

correspondent to mistakes in the
cooking. Here is what is said to be
the proper way to cook it: Put all
that is to be cooked into large
plate and form it into one fat cake
with a knife, pressing it into COM
pact cake as thick as the usual slice
of steak. Have ready hot "spider"
and gently slide the cake off the
plate upon the iron. Whon ready to
turn, loosen its under surface from
the iron with the knife blade, and,
holding the plate in one hand and
the spider" in the other, gently in
vert the cake into the plate, when it
can again be slipped off on to the
hot iron, with the uncoOked side
down and with no breaking apart
whatever. In this way it can be
cooked and left red (but not raw all
through the interior in the same
manner as with ordinary steak. L.
is wise to have the meat man run
the Hamburg steak through bis ma
chine twice. This avoids any string
mess. Have him put in little sage,

sage flavor without the indigestible

statues and mosaics in the prin-
cipal apartments. while the bath
rooms contained baths of bronze
and marble, and even a library of
books was carried on board. Gov

Quoits an Ancient Game.

That quoits is now played chief
ly in the country is the fault of
those who do not play it and
bring it into fashion. 1t is no
doubt a very ancient English
game, and its beginnings are lost
in the mist of ages. Hakluyt
S,entions it in his book of "Voy-
ages" so it was well known in
Queen Elizabeth's time, when it
probably was one of the favorite
sports of Merrie England. In
some parts of the country the
rustics used to employ horse
shoes for want of properly made
quoits. and there are districts in
which the quot is called a
''shoe" even to this day. This
gives us the clew to the most
probable origin of the sport, and
hints that the first game of quoits
was started by throwing old
horseshoes at the hob or mark,
and from this gradually grew up
the practice of having quoits spec
tally made for throwing. So
much for the discus legend. As
for the word "quoit" itself, its
etymology is more than doubt
full, and it gives us no clew what
ever to the origin of the game.
