Childhood OF Jenny Lind.

Jenny Lind was baptized as Johanna
Jindborg. The nickname by which she
became famous was given her in her
childhood Her mother lived in two
different tenements in Stockholm, No..
43 Jakobsbergsgatan and No. 80 Mas
tersamuelgatan, while she was an in
FAINT, and it is not definitely known in
which she was born. Both claim the
honor, but the weight of evidence
seems to favor the former, which is in
q short street in the manufacturing
section of the city and mostly occupied
by artisans of various sorts. The 9TH
er place is on better street near the
centre of the manufacturing section.
A Mr. Lindhahl, who holds posi-
ton in the royal library here, has al
interesting collection Of letters and
documents relating to the early life Of
Jenny Lind. He has certified copies
of the record of her birth and christen-
ing and the proceedings of the court,
which, when she was IA years of age,
decided that her parents were unfit
persons to have charge of her and ap-
pointed the director of the Opera House
as her guardian. He also has num-

Odd Things to Lose.

When people gather greatly together
there are sure to be things lost, says the
Paris Messenger. The Betheny review,
on the occasion of the visit of the Gar,
was no exception to the rule. No sooner
was the review ended than huge guam
tity of articles of all kinds was picked up
by the authorities and placed in the
keeping of the officers at Rcims The
collection is OF the oldest. Something
of everything is included; many things,
evidently, will never be claimed; old UNI
brellas, empty bags and empty purses;
there was also a corset Then there
were again two handsome stem-winding
watches.
There is another side to the question.
People have sent in description of
things lost. One is of a splendid sword
scabbard, belonging to an Algerian Caid,
which was in chiscled silver. What
complicates things is that the scabbard
was found and claimed. The chagrin of
the dusky African may be imagined In
any case he has offered handsome re-
ward to him who returns his scabbard.

A Stitch In Time.

All housekeepers who look well to
the ways of their households appreci-
ate the value of stitch in time. The
principle inculcated by the proverh
may be carried to all departments OF
the house. The household belongings
which are kept continually in order by
being mended as soon as they need
mending cannot suddenly give out and
need to be replaced. Prudent house,
keepers keep pot of glue ready to be
melted when needed, cement bottle
for china ,and once a month or once
a week, as it may be convenient, they
repair breakages in china or in furni-
ture. 1t is more trouble to learn to
use soldering iron, but this can be
done, and when necessary hole in
tinware or in almost any commoh met
al can be mended. Usually all that is
necessary is to stop leak in time,
so it will grow no larger.
1t is an excellent practice to keep a
list of everything about the house that
has gone awry, and every six months
at least, if not oftener, see that 1t is
made right. The best time is just after
the spring and fall housecleaning. If
this is done the house can be easily
kept in order, and at much less cost
than when every repair needed is left
until it has become necessary to the
comfort of the home that it. should
be attended to.-New York Tribune.

The Cleansing Ball.

The following is an excellent cleans
ipg ball to prepare for use on clothes
and woolen fabrics generallye says
What to Eat. Dissolve bit of white
soap the size of an egg, in enough al
cohol to cover it. Mix in the yolks Of
three eggs and tablespoonful of oil
of turpentine Work in fuller's earth
till it becomes stiff enough to form
into balls and let them dry. When you
wish to remove a stain moisten the
fabric with a little water, rub the ball
we'll in, let it dry and brush off the
powder There are three classes Of
stains these balls cannot remove-ink,
iron rust and fruit stains For ink,
pour over milk, and as it becomes dis
colored absorb it with blotting paper.
Then wash out we'll with tepid water
and CASTLE soap. If on white goods,
lemon juice and common salt, often re-
rewed and placed in the sun, are most
efficient.

Proper Dress for Children.

No persons need more careful! cloth
ing than infants and children. In
them the body surface is relatively
large and their heat producing pow
ers are feeble. For this reason they
need to be covered up as much as pos
sible, with loose, light clothing, so
that. the natural movements of their
bodies may have full play. When pos
,sible the undergarments should be OF
wool; the prevalent idea that children
should be thinly clothed, with more or
less bare limbs, so that they may be-
come hardened, is contrary TO all ply
siological teaching and absolutely
cruel On the other hand, unnecessary
swathing of children in wraps and
comforters is to be deprecated, and it
Goes equal harm in the other direction
by rendering them tender and pecu-
liarly susceptible to chills.-American
Queen.

Black chartilly lace is again becom-
ing fashionable and is most effective

a slight elongation is stylish.

in shoulder length gloves and the lac

Women's pajamas are one of the nov
elites of the day. They are made up
in fancy and figured nainsook. Some
of the materials are particularly at
tractive being sprirkled all over with
tiny silk figures. The pajamas seen
thus far are mostly imported, but it is
expected that patterns of American
make will soon appear.
The new shaped toques with brims
turning up on each side are to be ex-
tremely fashionable. Twisted cords OF
chenille are used generally as a trim
ming, as is also heavy velvet cording
to adorn the upturned parts of the
brim. Little toques of gathered vel
vet are likewise much in vogue, and
to some faces these are wonderfully be-
coming.

The Umbrella OF Fashion.

For the present the smart umbrella
is exceedingly small, with case in
the same shade as the silk. At one
time it was feared that we should
adopt leather cases, heavy, ugly things
that had nothing to recommend them
but novelty, but good sense and taste
have come to the rescue. The favorite
coloring for the silk is in very dark
shot taffetas where the black tint pre-
dominates; in fact, we must guess at
the warm coloring beneath the black
more than really define it. The frame
is in steel, very light and FURNISHED,
but without the slightest attempt at
yarnish. The stick is composed sim
ply of we'll polished wood without any
ornament, either at the handle or the
point. Even the pointed piece of metal
at the tip is suppressed. 1t is, there
fore, necessary to find the nature of
wood that meets all the requirements
OF solidity and suppleness. From New
Caledonia and Australia some of the
finest are imported, but the French
makers have preference for their own
growth, as they say that the coloring
is richer and more varied in graduated
tones. For the winter, therefore, fash
ion dictates small umbrellas with plain
wooden sticks, with no ornamentation.
Neither the perforated rings nor mon
ograms in gold are considered in good
taste this year. The only difference
between gentleman's or lady's um-
brella is in the size of the covering
and the length and thickness of the
stick.-New York Commercial Adver-
riser.

Women In Business.

The remark is olten made that wom-
eli known nothing of business. In re-
gard to large majority Of women
whose business it is to engineer happy
homes this statement is untrue. 1t
is also unjust to thousands of sensible
women who are necessarily compelled
to take care of themselves and their
families, and who have ably demon
strated that they are capable of doing
so with as much shrewdness and wis
dom as men who are their peers. The
mass OF women show no business
knowledge in the methods of earning
money, because there is some one to
earn money for them, and to them is
given the province of home. Women
are likely to be contented with the
care of the home so long as the support
of the family Is undertaken by men
whose natural province it is When it
becomes woman's place to enter the
business world she has in thousands OF
instances demonstrated that she has as
keen wit as a man and is as capable
Of receiving training in business.
Hundreds and thousands of women
have demonstrated their ability to COM
pete in the business world, not as mere
wage earners, but as financicrs. These
women know something of business,
though undoubtedly they labored at
first under the disadvantage of being
considered women who know nothing
oil it.
Numberless women's exchanges have
appeared in recent years in the larger
cities, and these business enterprises
have generally propered. in the state
of Massachusetts, alone, in 1885, there
were .305 women who were farmers.
These young women possess the disad-
vantage of being phyically weaker and
less capable of outdoor work than their
brothers should be, yet in spite of this
the records show that women have
thrived in this occupation as well as
their husbands and fathers did.
In matters of business habits men
are often found wanting. Nineteenth
century experience shows that women
who have entered the business world
are, as a rule, more conservative than
men. They do not often do brilliant
things in business, because they do
not hazard SO much. Instances of SELL
sible business women who risk their
all on chance gains are not large,
though there are thousands of half
educated women, inexperienced as chill
dren, who are victimized by charlatans
just as men brought up in a similar
manner would be. The cases of swim
ding of men are almost as common
as those of women. There is reason
tc believe that among the thousands
of wage earning women in the land
it is rare to find one who persistently
speculates, though business women
have opportunity to spend money in
this way.-New York Tribune.

Something About Starch.

1t sounds contradictory to advise
making cold starch with hot water;
but those who have once tried it find
its results most satisfactory. This does
not necessarily mean that the water
must be boiling hot, but comfortably
warm
Starch made in this way works much
better than that made with cold water.
A little salt added to cold starch is an
improvement, preventing it from stick
ing to the iron.
1t is always better to let clothes re-
main rolled some time after starching
them, as they will then iron much
better. If after these precautions you
find the starch inclined to stick to
the iron, it is because it is too stiff

snans1ed Hands and Feet.

Stockings and gloves embroidered
in silver and colored spangles are to
be had if ones tastes run to glittering
dress accessories. A black or a pale
green stocking with dark green SER
pent embroidered on the instep, the
body twisting around the ankle and up
the leg, is enough to give most wom-
en- the creeps. For stage purposes these
eccentricities doubtless have their
uses, but the average woman is con-
tent to gaze, shudder and pass on.
Suede gloves with insertions of lace
or designs in embroidery upon them
locking rather we'll on slim hands and
black evening gloves brilliantly en-
broidered with silver are certainly os-
tentatious, but one can imagine them
and a small, sparkling fan.

White for Thin Women.

A we'll known portrait painter ad-
vises women when posing for photo
graph to wear black at the neck, as
it gives fuller effect and in the case
of a very slender sitter greatly en-
hances the beauty Of the throat. The
same artist advises thin women to
wear white as much as possible, as it
makes their slenderness less apparent.

cause so many white fabrics, such as

ONE MANS LUCK.
Stored Into Junior Partnership by q
Chance Gust OF Wind.

Speaking of taking in partners, !"
said downtown business man, "our
junior was, you might say, blown in on
US, and I saw him started in our direc-
ton, though I had no idea of it at the
time.
Going downtown one summer
morning on a Ninth avenue elevated
train, l saw sitting opposite to me 4
young man who caught my fancy, a
substantial, earnest, straightforward
looking chap, whose looks I liked first
rate. He was reading a paper; and
presently he tore off from this paper
an advertisement leaf that he didn't
want and threw it out of the window,
or tried to, for as matter of fact it
didn't go out. A gust of wind with
just the right twist to it came along
at just that moment and blew the pa
per hack, to fall on a vacant seat next
to him.
"And as it fell something in it caught
his eye, and he picked up that part
which he had just been trying to throw
away and began earnestly to read it,
and ended up by folding it carefully
and putting it in his pocket.
"About four minutes after I'd got in
here this morning this same young man
walks in and applies for place that we
had been waiting for somebody to fill.
Our advertisement for man for it was
in that paper which I had seen this
young man try to throw away, and
which a gust Of wind by one chance
in a million or more, had blown back
upon him and in such manner as to
fix his attention.
GAS matter OF fact I hadn't liked
the young mans act of throwing the
paper out of an elevated car window;
a paper floating down and around as
that would do might frighten horses
and lead to no end OF trouble and lots
Of damage, but no one man thinks
about everything, and he'd learn better
about this, l knew, and SO as matter
of fact l took this young man on tha
spot, on my first impressions OF him..
He lar more than made good and in
due course of time he came into his
junior partnership, literally and truly
blown into it.

giving way to idle fears, thanked the

gown, but in all other ways it practs-

gown, but in sll other ways 1t practs-
cally takes its place as new gown.
A good back dress invariably pays
for renovating, but all queer and un-
common shapes, either in skirt or bod
ice, are best left alone unless the ma
terial can De matched or is of the
type allowing for combination. Many
bodices of the seamless or stretched
order can be turned into smart bole-
ros and then, with new vest and
trimming, it is practically different
garment.
Trimming taken from a bodice will
often make smart vest, and even a
narrow vest and collar of good lace
can be used with side revers of velvet
or silk or wiLh cascades of lace or
even frills falling forward and con-
nected by straps of velvet across the
centre Of lace. Tucked vests or plas-
irons of silk can be sponged with ben
zoline. Mounted as vests and deco
rated with some incrustations of lace
in sprays or bows or strapped across
the top in yoke fashion they are hand
some.
There are many garments useful for
country and seaside wear which can
be smartened and brought up to date
at very moderate expense, but they
should be originally of good quality
and cut, or they are not worth the
trouble and expense of alteration. An
old fashioned coat and skirt can be
remade into a smart custome with
about one and a half yards of new
cloth to match. The skirt must be
made into tight top part fitting
shaped founce, and the remainder and
the new cloth will make the shaped
tiounce.
If there is no new clol black,
blue OF brown cloth can be made with
a separate founce of another color,
such as white, fawn, gray, ETC., and
then covered with stitched tucks or
straps of alternate cloth and military
braid, leaving only tiny lines of the
light color between. The old-fashioned
basque coat cuts into smart bolero
10 the waist, and the neck can be fin
ished with a big collar.-Washington
