HoUsEWIFERY AND INDUSTRY.

A young mind is uneasy if it be good
for anything.
There is no better relief to study than
the regular performance of special
duties in the house.
Many really good servant is con-
stantiy suffering from grievances grow
ing directly from the ignorance of her
mistress.
There are few higher compliments
that can be paid to young woman
than that which accords to her the char
acter of an excellent housekeeper.
To feel that one is really doing some
thing every day, that the house is the
tidier for ones efforts, and the COM
fort of the family enhanced, is the sur
est warrant of contentment and cheer
fitness.
There is no reputation which will
more thoroughly tend to conform q
young woman in the esteem of young
men, or more forcibly commend her to
their esteem, than that of being ac-
quainted, practically, with the details
of the kitchen and the economics of
housekeeping.

ABOUT EUROPEAN WOMEN.

The German women are essentially
domestic, possess none of the attractive
daring of the French woman or the
sparkling grace of mind which belongs
to the American.
The most accomplished and brilliant
woman of Europe is the Russian, who
has vivaeious temperament, marvel
Gus facility for languages and power
of adaptability.
In France there are exceptional girls
from aristocratic families who have
made it point to graduate from the
public schools, but what the average
French woman lacks in accomplish
meuts she makes up in chic and grace.
Italians and Spaniards are distin-
guished above all other women of Eu-
rope by their ignorance, due to their in
dolence. They do not even possess the
art of elegant dressing and beauty is
their sole redeeming point.

feet on each side of the thoroughfare
next the curb, for the use of cyclists.

knows how it is himself.
Four men on a quad recently raced
five miles against relay of six running
horses. on the Tioga track. The horses
won by less than five yards, in nine
minutes and fifty-two seconds. This is
really victory for the wheel. as the
four men rode the entire distance, while
the horses were fresh all the time.
Competition for the custom of wheel
men is now the rule rather than the
ception. as it orce was. and not long
ago. On the road from Philadelphia to
Atlantic City. there is a resort that is
making a novel bid. There are lots for
sale at SO to SIT each. and after paying

together the two blank pages to give

expose the blank pages.

delicate material could be found. Ly-
ing on piece of white paper, they
seemed no larger than fleas.

SPANKED THE WRONG PERSON.
A Chicago Woman's Funny Attempt to
Suppress COckGghtinG.


The Bridgeman family have a good
joke on mater, reports the Chicago
Times-Herald. She had promised ten
year-old Dick spanking if he brought
Tim Rogers and his game chickens into
the basement again.
One night when she went down TO see
that everything was secure she found
unmistakabie signs of battle. Then
she remembered that Dick had been
unusually quiet and well behaved at
dinner and had gone to bed early. So
she went upstairs with stern deter
mination in her soul, for the mill Of
maternal justice grinds surely in the
Bridgeman family.
Straight to Dicks room she went. ard
il her heart softened at sight of the
quiet figure in the bed and the dark
head outlined against the pillow it did
not stay her hand. She turned down
the bedclothes and vigorously applied
the slipper. Instantly roar came
forth in the bass of her grown-up son.
Thunder and biazes. mother, what
the deuce is the matter?"
There was an explosive smoker from
under the bed. but Mother Bridgeman
was too used up to trace the smoker
to its lair. And Dick didn't get prom
ised spanking.

DIANA's MIRROR.
The Nemf Like in Latfum to BE Sold
at Auction.


The Nemi lake. in Latium, is by a
judicial decree to be sold by auction
In classic times, says the London
Daily Graphic, it was bounded by
vast forest, the whole region was sa-
cred to Diana and the bright surface
of the lake was called Speculum d.
amaze, or Diana's Mirror. There was a
temple of the goddess beside the lake
and its priest was in the early days
of the empire the liking of the grove"
whose precarious existence is recorded
in Dean Farrar's Darkness and Dawn
He was generally an escaped criminal,
who slew the slayer and should him
self be slain"-that is, he held the
shrine by the right of having slain
the last hermit priest, till he himself
were dispossessed by violent death.
In imperial times the lake and its
shores were the scene of many patri-
clan water fetes and the playground Of
the court of Tiberius. A few years ago
one of the royal triremes, a three
decker, was discovered here deeply sub
merged. 1t yielded a rich treasure
trove in coins. bronze heads of lions
and tigers and bronze effigy of Me
dusa. The inscriptions showed that the
trireIne was dedicated to Diana. The
lake is believed to be rich in archaic
treasures and records of the court of
Tiberius and the cult of Diana.

An Amusing Story About Some Eng
Iish and German Sailors.

way carriage an amusing story with
regard to English and German jack
tars, says a writer in the London
Sketch. 1t was told of the members
of the crews of two ships engaged in
the recent blockade of Crete. These
tars were engaged in a festal gather
ing ashore and one of the Germans pro-
posed the health of his omniscient en-
peror, which was duly drunk by the
assembled party of both nationalities-
Presently the English boatswain sug-
gested that the name of her most gra-
cious majesty should be toasted with
similar honors, but the tars of the ia
therland received the proposal with a
chilling silence.
"Ain't you a-goin' to drink the
queens health?" came the English in
quiry.
'Nein, nein," was the Germanic re
Spouse.
"Now, then, boys" exclaimed the
boatswain. 81 don't want any unpleas-
antness, but we can't have this. you
know; faint fair. Take yer time from
me; two fingers down yer Threats, and

WOMEN ALONE IN EUROPE.

meuf to Europeans.
Among Europeans of what are called
the upper classes much surprise is con-
stantly expressed at the freedom with
which American women travel unes-
corted through Europe. A recently re-
called American minister TO a eonti-
mental court was once asked by court
official: .'Haf American wifes no hus-
bands at all, then? They come-three,
four, SIX at once to court. They ask
10 be presented to the king; they ask
10 be invited to state dinners; they
must walk in nit a duke. There are
rot dukes enough to go round. Why
do not their husbands come and walk
in init some duchesses?" At the Aus
trian court no Americans outside of the
diplomatic circle are presented; very
few at Berlin; while Queen Margharita
of Italy, who has been more hospitable
to our people than any other conti-
mental sovereign, has recently declined
to receive any married woman unac-
companied by her husband. Have
they no homes in their own country,
these poor ladies?" asked a French
woman, shat they spend months or
years in Europe wandering about
alone?" 1T was explained to her that
American men often remained at home,
earning the money necessary to send
their wives and daughters abroad for
the education which foreign travel
gives. IF that be So" she replied,
they viii study art and languages
hard, so as to return quickly to those
who work for them. They win not buy
costly clothes nor push their way into
every court in Europe"

Il DISTING UISHED VISITOR.


New Haven is honored by the pres
ence of man Of note in the ranks Of
Scotland's clergy and authors, Rev.
James Stark, D. D., who arrived from
Europe yesterday. He came on the
steamer City of Rome, which was In
collision on it's passage here with huge
thousand people-passengers and crew
being for time in imminent peril. The
Courier publishes in another column an
interview with Mr.. Stark, who gives a
graphic picture and an account Of great
fidelity Of this great recent peril at sea-
Mr.. Stark is the guest, while in this
city, of his friend, Rev. Mr.. Mulch, the
beloved pastor of the Howard avenue
Congregational church. Mr. Stark will
remain a number of days in New Ha-
ven. One of the special features he had
in view in the trip was a visit to Yale
university and the famous City of
Films; and his chief object is to make
himself more thoroughly conversant
with New England life and character.
He will confine his stay in this country
to the New England states. He comes
to this country as delegate to the In
ternational Congregational council,
which will meet in Boston on the 10th
of this month, and before which he will
read paper on Scottish Congrega-
tionalism"
Mr. Stark is pastor Of the Belmont
Congregational church at Aberdeen,
Scotland, and Is the author of the we'll
known book entitled Life of Rev. DR.
Kidd of Aberdeen. DR.. Kidd was a.
Scottish college professor of note and
a famous minister of Aberdeen, who
years ago made visit to the United
States and stopped for some time in
Philadelphia, awakening great interest
in church circles there. Mr.. Stark Is
fine appearing man, unostentatious, still
in the prime of life, active and vigorous,
a man of power in theological contro-
versy and close thinker and direct and
forcible speaker. He anticipates much
pleasure from his stay in New Haven,
and his visit to this country in gen.
eral.
