Men Mt Womer's Work.

One Of the most interesting features
Of census records of the number of
persons above ten years of age Occu-
pied in gainful pursuits is the revela-
ton of the number Of men who are
doing work that properly Is within
woman's province. For instance, 1t is
henatural and inalieanble right Of the
woman to teach school. So, too, nurs-
ing ought to be peculiarly the task of
women. yet there are 1921 male
nurses. 1t Is indisputable that women
of more or less tender age ought to
monopolize stenography and typewrit-
Ing Yet there are men bold enough
to ntrude upon 23.553 positions OF the
first kind and 2,153 Of the second.
Moreover. such Is the fancy or the fate
of some males that LIS Of them are
millinels. ZIG are dressmakers and
4,S37 are seamstresses.

Health and Reoutv Hiuts.


Don't tip the shoulders from side to
side when walking. 1t is an exceed
ingly ungraceful habit
Don't bend forward when walking,
but hold the body erect, with the chest
well arched and the hips thrown back
Don't bend over double when ascend
ing Il flight Of stairs. Give the lungs
full play, for you need plenty Of
breath.
Never fail to consult an oculist if
you find that your eyesight is growing
dim, or hesitate to wear glasses if you
need them.
Never fail to wash the eyes every
night before retiring. so as to remove
any dust that may have gathered in
the lids during the day.
Don't wear shoes run down at the
heels and don't wear high-heeled and
narrow-toed shoes. They are the in
veterate enemies Of grace.
Don't let tartar accumulate on the
teeth, for it brings whole train Of
evils in its wake. Have it removed
by dentist at least twice a year.
Don't use a tooth powder which con-
tains gritty, acid or irritating sub
stances, as the first two act injuriously
OH the teeth and the last on the gums.
Don't use one side Of the mouth only
when eating. for then the teeth have
not all the same amount of exercise,
and decay sets in more rapidly ON one
side than the other.
Don't fail to remember this rule
that in walking you should carry your
self so that plumb line, dropped from
your nose would fall just an inch In
front Of your great toe.
Do not allow an infant to turn
round that 1t may enjoy the fun Of
being giddy. Not only headache but
fits, stupidity and even madness may
be brought about by such practices.
The yellow complexion, which Is the
surest symptom of chronic bilious
ness, will disappear. as will the cause
itself, If the victim, while bathing
in the sea, swallows plenty Of sea
water.
When trying on new shoes do so at
the latter part OF the day. The feet
are then at their maximum size. Sum.
mer footgear should be fully roomy,
for the heat is apt to make the feet
swell and tight shoes are the cause of
much suffering.
To keep the hair in curl use a LIQUID
made as follows: Take two ounces Of
borax, one drachm Of gum arabic and
a quart Of hot mot boiling water.
Stir this together till the borax and
gum are dissolved and then add three
tablespoonfuls Of strong spirits OF
camphor. Bottle and use for dampen.
ing the hair before curling It,
When you feel tagged try the harm
less stimulant Of hot milk. Heat the
milk till skin begins to wrinkle on
the top of 1t and then drink it In sips.
You will find it wonderfully refresh
ing when you are feeling tagged out"
and it will do you more good than the
best beef tea, for hot milk Is both
nourishing and stimulating, whereas
beef tea Is only the latter.

Wisd om for Girls.

One Of the greatest mistakes girl
can make is to argue with herself that
certain sutton is domestic by nature
and will make good and attentive
husband because he prefers lounging
about in the drawing room of her IA
Tiers house and paying her pretty
compliments to taking her out to thea
tiers and concerts.
This is the mark of the stay-at- home
lover and the neverat- home husband.
But for the mistaken notion that he
is born "freside companion" few
girls would put up with such sutton.
Nothing so pleases an engaged girl
as to be escorted here and there by
her tance. She is in love, and is proud
of him. She has acquired valuable
bit of property and wants to exhibit
it,
She likes to imagine all the other
girls mildly envious when they see her
out in public places with this big,
handsome fellow like wax in her
hands.
umphant period of girls life-and
what is triumph without an audience?
The fact about the Stay-at- home
fiance is that he is lazy. He loves his
ease. After marriage. If he finds his
club more comfortable than his home,
this Is the sort of man who will gravi-
tate back to his club life-after the
honeymoon.
At present he cannot bear to be out
of sight of the girl whose love he has
gained
After his days work Is over. and the
inner man has been fed and comfort
ed, perchance he sallies forth to her
home. but by no means to suggest even
walk. No. Being there. there he
stays; and the drawing room contain
ing the family piano having perforce
to be given up to the engaged couple,
many are the uncomplimentary re-
marks passed by future brothers and
sistnrs-in-law, many the more or less
good-natured jeers hurled at his
sweetheart head ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

When Words Of Wisdom Tell.

"Mother, dear" said a frank young
woman to her parent, who had just
been giving her lecture, ''if you
would only stop when you have scored
your point and said what l feel is a
truth, you would make so much more
impression. but you always go on and
on, and say so much that it puts us
both out Of temper, and you lose all
the advantage you have gained"
Moral teachers always make a mis-
take when they do not stop at the
right moment. Many truth would be
carried home to a culprit and do good
work if 1t We're not diluted with dis
cursiveness to such an extent that its
effect becomes obllterated. But the
fact is that the generality of people
talk too much about everything, them
selves, their affairs and their neigh
bors. Talking never does any good,
and it Is apt to do a great deal Of
harm.-New York Tribune

Blue STOCKINGS.

The term blue stockings" as ap-
piled to women with literary tenden-
cies. Is not now considered either ele-
giant or appropriate although as first
used there was some warrant for its
employment. Its origin Is traced to
the days Of Samuel johnson, and was
applied then as now to women who
cultivated learned conversations and
found enjoyment in the discussion of
questions which had been monopolized
by men. About 100 it became quite
the thing for ladies to form evening
assemblies. when they might partic-
ipate in talk with literary and ingeni
GUS men. One of the best known and
most popular members of one of these
assemblies was said to have been a
Mr.. Stillingfeet, who always wore
blue stockings, and when at any time
he happened to be absent from these
gatherings 1t was usually remarked
that 1--WE can do nothing without blue
stockings" and by degrees the term
blue stockings" was applied to all
gatherings of literary nature, and
eventually to the ladies who attended
the meetings.

Nothing Poetic About Mar.

Some men are never poetic; others
lose their poetic sense with the en-
croachment of years. At least that is
the opinion OF a matrOn now past mid
die life. The only trouble with a man
is that he loses the poetic side of his
nature as the years roll by" she re-

Now, we did not want the paper

sent it without authority, and after
sending many duus the last one
was accompanied by the following
propositions "If you will send us
IS cents we will square off even and
send you the paper the balance of
your natural life and pay the IS
cents to your estate when you die. !"
OF course we did not accept the
proposition, for the paper was no
good and we did not subscribe and
did not want it at any price. Just
so with the fortune telling, we did
not want it and did not ask it, but
