The Child.s nirthrIght.

A child's fundamental right is to be
born a good, sound animal, says a writ
er for Good Housekeeping. AS all laws
of heredity involve both parents and
the ancestors of both, there can be no
absolute assurance of sound inheri-
lance except 4 clean bill of health for
generations on both sides Of the house.
When our boys and girls are better
trained in the laws of life, this blessing
will be more general, for there will be
fewer unions between detectives. For
tunately for the race, however, there
are preventives and palliatives of vi
cious inheritance which intelligent par
ents can employ.
We cannot give here any adequate
idea of what these are, but we may
suggest a few of the simplest means
which lie at the mothers hands. She
must first of all keep herself in as per-
feet physical condition as possible.
Plenty of fresh air and sunlight, sys-
tematic exercise, loose clothing, with
its weight equally distributed. care
fully varied but simple diet and ample
rest each day-these are the essentials.
A woman who takes such care of her
body starts her child in life with aston
ishing power to throw off disease and
gives him an inheritance more precious
than fine gold. One who refuses or in
differently neglects to do these things
not only weakens her own system per-
manently, but inflicts on the unborn
the curse OF defective constitution.

Cory Corner. of Leather.

Leather coy corners have rather a
dubious sound, yet they are cozy, com
Portable and artistic. Moreover, they
are the newest thing in the decorative
line. The leather is buckskin, Of the
softest finish and decorated with the
much favored typography. If you are
an expert at this work, you may get
up an elaborate effect at comparatively
little cost, but if you have to pay for
the decoration as well as the material
it is an expensive luxury.
To make a complete corner" the
couch should be covered with the
leather, having a conventional border
and finished on the bottom with slash
ed leather to form deep fringe. The
wall on two sides should be covered to
a depth of from two to four feet, ac-
cording to taste, with the leather
stamped in some decorative style, a
good idea being to represent scenes
from Shakespeare or from some other
literary source. The couch pillows are
covered with leather stamped with
scenes to match or with monogram,
coat Of arms, floral or conventional de-
sign. The natural color of the leather
is preferred for all of these effects. but
may be varied by border in olive, ma
room or other contrasting shade. The
pillows are finished ON the edge by n
lacing of the two sides together by a
leather strip. No other material is to
be introduced on pain of spelling the
artistic idea

HIRED GIRLS PROGRESS.
Fable Showing Wisdom of Silence
Concerning Some Things.

Fable Showing Wisdom of Silence
Concerning Some Things.
Once upon a time there came into the
city from the country a girl. The girl
wandered from her happy home to Sc
cure employment among the wealthy
families of the city, and when she
made known the fact that she was
willing to work many persons sought
her and implored her to engage with
them in domestic pursuits. The girl
was overwhelmed with offers. but final
ly made n selection and settled in n
family that valued her services very
highly. The girl was happy until one
day her employer met Il neighbor, 4
very dear friend, and told her of her
good fortune in finding the country
girl. And this neighbor met another
very dear friend and told her of her
other friends good luck, and thus did
it become generally known that there
was a good hired girl in the neigh
borhood.
And from that time on the mistress
and the girl We're unhappy until one
day the very dear friend gave the girl
81 80 more a week than she was earn
ing in her first place, and in this man
ner did the girl become happy again,
while her mistress and the very dear
friend ceased to be on speaking terms
And then the girl became unhappy
again until the other very dear friend
engaged her at an advance of 81, and
the other dear friend and the first dear
friend ceased to talk over the back
fence. And then the good girl wore
fine dresses and fine hats, and one day
a dashing young man led her TO the
altar, and now the three friends and
the poor country girl are all very
happy.
