A Brave Woman.

The French Academy has awarded
the Audiffred prize Of $4,000 francs to
a woman-Mme. Meyrier, wife Of the
French Consul at Diarbekir. The Con-
sui and his wife were present in that
town at rhe time of the Armenian mas.
sacrcs, in 1895, says the Westminster
Gazette. Nine. Meyrier sheltered, fed
and cared for more than 700 Armenian
refugees in the Consulate building,
which was several times besieged, M.
Meyrier and his staff repulsing the
Turkish assailants time after time.
This lasted twelve days, and when all
immediate danger had disappeared the
rescued Armenians left, showering
blessings on the heads Of their saviors.
Six months later Nine. Meyrier led a
caravan of 600 Christians to the coast,
fortnights journey. The valiant
woman led the band on horseback,
with her four children following in a
litter, and passed with her party
through the midst Of hostile tribes.
She reached the coast in safety, with
all the refugees under her care.

Coats For Babies.

Long cloaks are fashionable again for
small babies; they are made Of silk or
cloth. These have generally a coat
to wear under them, but may be in
themselves, if made with inter-lining
or wadded lining, gu c warm enough.
The objection, Of course, is that the
baby's hands cannot get out, but for
a tiny baby it is often well to keep the
hands covered in very cold weather.
All white should be used until a child Is
a year OF two old, and even then it is a
mistake to use anything but light col
ors. Cloth coats, ribbed silk, bengaline
and poplin are all fashionable, and the
style is the same for one and all. No
coat or other garment that a baby
wears should be made in a way that
will not allow of its being cleaned fire.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Goods can never constitute the CHIEF
good.
Bitter bread is sweeter than poisoned
honey.
A good fellow is not always a good
friend.
1t is the bullet that kills and not the
report.
Money creates more wants than it
satisfies.
1t is not the service but its spirit that
makes it sacred.
The day book of time determines the
ledger of eternity.
The good in man may be known by
the good he sees in men.
The man who is stingy on a $40 sal
ary will be stingier on a million.
A mean man may become a master
of men, but never a master-man.
Men may do their worst, it matters
not if you have chosen the best.
To be conformed to the truth is bet
ter even than to be informed on it.
Discomfort with ourselves will cure
us of discomfort with our circum.
stances.
1t is no use getting up the steam of
zeal so long as you are choked up with
the rust of prejudice. Rams Horn.

Three Styles of Walking Skirt.


There are three new styles of walk.
ing skirt, says the Chicago Journal.
One is short, about an inch above the
floor, and mas hip yoke.
Another is two inches from the floor
severely plain and with slotted seams
and just enough fare at the bottom to
give it modish effect.
The third almost touches the floor,
and in the back has a little train OF
about three inches. Third style isn't
for rainy weather, and is amenable to
the side-clutch, being lightweight at
the border on account of its banded
plainness. This long walking skirt
that must be held up seems to be de.
signed as n convenience to wear in the
street when the walk ends in house
affair of an informal sort. not particu-
larly dressy, but to which the long
skirt is adapted.
You know any woman is more at

short type-this lightweight, long walk
ing skirt is next best to a regularly
trained one as to q becoming appear

The Good.Natured Woman.

The woman of thoroughly good
natured disposition has far broader
field in which to exert her influence
than her serious minded sister. The
former radiates her personality with
that sunny, intangible something that
always makes for herself a score of
friends where the latter looks on and
wonders what the magnet can be.
When adversely faces the man with
lHe good-natured wife, that is the wom-
IAN who can smile and see the "other
side" even in the gloomiest aspect. it
fs he who looks to the good-humored
side of the household for his consola-
ton, says the Boston Post.
The woman who smiles when others
frown is the woman who reaps the
richest harvest and finds in life the
greatest opportunities, the lightest re-
sponsibilities and the acme Of all her
truest and most womanly aspirations,
for the woman who smiles sees light
and infinite good in everything and ev-
erybody. She accepts the inevitable
with hearty, CHEEKY laugh, and causes
the shadows to dissipate and HE away
to other quarters. Women learn valua-
BILE lessons from smile, while men
silently adore the possessor, and all
because she is capable of manufacture
ing sunshine where ill-humor before
existed.
Good humor establishes an equili-
brium when all else fails. 1t adjusts
relations between husbands and wives,
mother and children, and mistress and
maid.
1t is the lever of success, the fulcrum
of all happiness in the home. the peace

An End to Footbindiny i'm China.

Soon after Chinese girl is born her
feet are tightly bound up in order to
prevent them from growing. The re-
suit is that when she becomes WON.
nm, indeed long before this period is
reached, she cannot walk, but only
waddles awkwardly. AT last, however,
good time seems to be coming for
these babies. During the Boxer dis
turbances it was found that escape
from the rebels was impossible for
most of the women, for the simple rea-
son that they were unable to run. 1t
is believed that hundreds OF the poor
creatures who would otherwise have
been alive at the present moment We're
killed by those ruffians land afterward
by many European soldiers, too). The
Cinnamon are said to have been so
shocked that they intend to put n stop
to the cruel and absurd practice of
footbinding. SO this is one benefit that
will come to the Chinese babies out of
warfare. Sometimes it does look as ii

SPEAKING OF SOUP.
How 1t Was Served In Primitive Ger
man Hostelry.


"Speaking of SOUP" said a prominent
musician who has travelled over a good
part of the earth, reminds me Of an ex-
perience had some years ago while in
one Of the provinces of Germany. l
had stopped over in small town for a
day or two, and was at the best hotel
in the place. This is not saying great
deal, for the patronage did not justify
anything like gorgeousness in the mat
ter Of service or in the kind and char
acter of the food furnished the guests.
The proprietor, at any rate, was doing
the best that he could, and no doubt,
would have got along all right but for
the peculiar method they employed in
serving soup. l have never seen the
method employed in any other place,
been on the lookout for the unique way
of serving the first number on the
menu. The first intimation I had of
the curious practice was when a big.
heavy Hollander, with husky voice,
who had rushed up behind me, asked
Soup? Yes replied, and before l
knew what had happened he ha(
squirted the soup out into my plate. l
was surprised and shocked and NOT n
little puzzled at first, because 1 did
not know how the waiter had managed
to squirt the soup into my plate so
quickly. l had expected him to bring
my soup in the usual way, in plate.
But he shot the soup over my shoulder
before the echo of the ia had left my
lips. I watched him make the round Of
the table. He had the soup in recep-
tacle of some sort, that looked like a
cross between bagpipe and something
else, and it worked with a suction-rod
arrangement. If guest wanted soup
he would press the rod and the liquid
would squirt out into the plate. 1t was
interesting enough, but. to save my life,
1 couldn't eat the soup, and in fact,
I couldn't eat anything else in the
place. suppose it was all right, but 1
simply couldn't stand for it, and when
left the place was nearly starved"

To Make the Air Fresh,

"A few drops of oil of lavender in a
silver bowl or ornamental dish of some
kind, half filed with very hot water,
and set in the dining room just before
dinner is served, gives delightful and
intangible freshness to the atmosphere
of the apartment. Some hostesses have
small receptacle for this perfume
placed in parlor and dressing rooms,
when arranging the house for a fes-
tivity The suggestion is especially
valuable to the hostess in small
apartment, which sometimes in the
hustle of preparation becomes stuffy.

JAPANESE SYMBOLISM.
Elaborate System Which Conveys Special
Meanings.

meanings.
The Anglo-Saxon, in his self-assur-
ance, thinks that his pictorial symbol
ism, which he has borrowed chiefly
from the Greek and HebrNw, is the
only one contained in decorative art.
The anchor as representing hope, the
wings for aspiration, the crown for
power, the sceptre TO: authority, the
scroll or open volume for wisdom are
the main features in his little system.
He seldom realizes that the Japanese
have developed symbolism into sys-
TEN so extensive as to make that of
His own art-world clumsy and ridcu-
lous in comparison. To the brown
men of Dai Nippon, Western symbol
ism is puerile and ridiculous. Theirs
represents the united labor of the poet,
painter, sculptor and embroiderer A
thousand objects, all attractive anG q
majority beautiful per Sc, represent
spiritual cOunterparts. The system is
applied to kakamonas or wall banners,
fans, garments and screens. If you
wish to convey to a friend the senti-
ment Of good luck, you send him
screen on which are painted or en-
broidered storks flying toward the sun.
II the friend be aged the storks should
be flying toward the nest, and If very
aged, the storks should be alighting.
Where, on the other hand, death has
occurred in some family to which you
are attached, the symbol which ex-
presses the fact is the cobweb with or
without the spider. Here the Japan.
ese artists are divided. The realistic
school introduces the spider to suggest
the voracity and destructiveness of Az
rael; the idealistic school omits the
spider, and uses the web to express the
thought that where the web is there is
no longer any human activity, and that
even the spider which made the web
has shared a similar fate. Where, for
example, house is in mourning, the
inmates should be sheltered with
screens on which appear the graceful
but sombre lines of She cobweb. At
least twenty birds are used to repre-
sent the different emotions, and three
score Of leaves. flowers and trees have
these secondary meanings.
NOt alOHe uOeS eaCn leaI nave Il
meaning per Sc, but this is varied again
by juXtaposition with one or two other
leaves. The combining or grouping is
a positive science in itself. Most prom
inent of all the symbols is the sacred
mountain Fujiyama. Doubtless the ma
jestic beauty and extraordinary isola-
ton of that world-famous peak i'm
pressed the people of the islands from
the very first. BY degrees it became a
symbol Of their own country to which
all souls yearn. 1t was mountain
and also a door into heaven. As a
symbol it expresses patriotism, the
hearth spiritual, and aspiration. When.
therefore, you desire to present Il
screen to friend let it contain storks,
swallows and sparrows, bamboos, oak
leaves, fishes, the Temple of Nikko and
Fujiyama, but do not send one with
cobweb unless there be death in the
family, or one with the dragon of ra-
pacity unless you desire to insult him.
