Going UP Stairs.


Many women use up large portion
Of the vitality by going up and down
stairs from ten to thirty times day..
Few people appreciate the strength
expended in going up and down stairs.
Supposing you weigh $50 pounds. Now
if you will attach $50 pounds to a
rope and attempt to pull it up from
one story to the next above you will
get some idea of the strength expend-
ed in going up stairs, for every time
you ascend to the second floor you
must lift your body from one story to
the other Ladies' dresses interfere
with their graceful and easy ascent Of
the stairs while the boys leap up two
stairs at time. Most women have
not learned to economic their
strength. | know of many housewives
who go up and Down stairs on the least
pretcxt whereas by thoughtful
planning they might save at least half
the number of excursions up and down
stairs. Going down stairs is not so
hard and yet it is much harder work
than walking on level floor.

Rights of Women.

Chief Justice Mason, of the Superior
Court Of Massachusetts, lately handed
down a decision Of more than. usual
interest, because Of it's being on the
rights Of women. The case was a suit
for divorce, brought by Russian, who
asked separation from his wife on the
ground of desertion. 1t came out dur.
ing the trial that the couple were mar
ried in Russia some years ago. Later
the husband came to America. He
tried to persuade his wife to come
with him, and afterward sent her
money and tickets, but she refused.
"The husbands right to determine the
place Of abode Of the family" said
the judge, lis not an absolute right,
but one which must be exercised rea-
sonably. The wife's refusal to leave
her kindred and the protection of the
laws under which she has lived, and
emigrate to a foreign country, the
language Of which was an unknown
tongue to her, was not unreasonable,
and did not constitute desertion.''

The Duties of a Wife.


There was a clever magazine story
told, some years ago, Of prospec-
tive bride who devoted her year be-
fore marriage to qualifying herself Tor
the duties of a wife and the mistress
of house. Her friends supposed her
to be absent upon foreign tour, but
in reality she spent the twelve months
in domestic service, as cook, house
maid and nurse, thus attaining practi-
cal knowledge how to serve her hus-
band and herself satisfactorily later
on. "Tis true it's pity and pity It's
it's true" that many American girls
marry in ignorance, more or less total,
Of the things which every mistress of
family ought to understand. Even
those who take course in cooking, as
q rule, imbibe but little practical
knowledge for future application.
All this is wrong. No one who does
not know how to do thing is COM
petent to direct others as to how it
should be done. In other countries,
where women are frankly trained as
wives and mothers, housewifery, in all
its branches, forms an important part
Of every girls education, and the high
er her rank the more stringent this
rule. In French convent schools no
pupil is given diploma unless she
bakes loaf Of bread and makes a
mans dress shirt by hand so well as
to be worthy OF exhibition upon COM
mencemcnt day. The Empress of Ger
many exceIs in the making Of fruit
jams and jellies, and every German
woman is expected to be good cook.
The English princesses, one and all,
are thorough housewives, and Louise
Of Argyle is said to have paid for
q fresh cup of tea once in Canadian
farmhouse by ironing shirt for the
master Of the house. Queen Alexandra
is an accomplished buttermaker. In
old Norway every bride, from princess
to peasant, was obliged to cook her
wedding dinner, and upon that dinner
depended her future reputation as a
housekeeper.
1t is a notifying confession to make
that marital happiness may depend
upon the culinary skill Of the wife,
yet none the less is 1t fact which
cannot be gainsaid That the straight
est way to a mans heart lies down
his throat is an old and oft-quoted
proverb, while we are told even by
poets that 1t is easier for civilized
man to live without love than without
cooks. A man may have the patience
Of Job, yet it is not wise to try him
too often with indigestiye food. 1t
is the bounden duty Of every wife to
care for her husbands comfort, and
in these days of inefficient and uncer-
tain domestic service to do this re-
quires a fair degree of culinary skill.
The Scripture doctrine that faith
without works is dead applies, and
with equal force, to other things as
we'll as religion. True love is forever
glad to spend and be spent in the
service Of the beloved. Equally, no
matter what other admirable qualities
a husband may possess, if he fails to
provide for his own household he fails
miserably, and makes home life a hol-
low mockery.
When two people marry, Let each
promise little and perform all which is
possible, each making the happiness of
the other the first object Of life. Thus
shall loye, like Gods loving kindness,
be new every morning and peace and

When he attempted TO defend himself

he was jumped on from behind by a

last thing he would do in the world
would be TO lift his little hand"
against an old man. He would go
around the block any time to avoid

talked on until the novelty of the
thing wore off with the crowd in the

movement began. Then he quit, and
