IDLE WOMEN.


The most unhappy women in our com.
munities today are those who have no
engagements to call them up in the
morning, and who, once having risen
and breakfasted. lounge through the dull
forenoon in slippers down at the heel
and with disheveled hair, reading the
last novel, and who, after having drag
ged through wretched forenoon and
taken their afternoon sleep. and having
spent an hour and half at their toilet,
pick up their card case and 90 out to
make calls. and who pass their evenings
waiting for some body to come in and
break up the monotony. Arabella
Stua 1T never was imprisoned in so dark
dungeon as that
There is no happiness in an idle WON
an. 1t may be with hand or 1t NAV be
with brain, it may be with foot, but
work she must, or be wretched forever
The little girls of our families must be
started with that idea. The curse of~our
American society is that our Young
women are taught that the first, second
third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth,
fiftieth thousandth thing in their life is to
get some one to take care of them.
Instead Of that. the first lesson should
be how, under God, they may take care
of themselves and that, too, after having
through the false notions of their par.
ents, wasted in the years in which they
ought to have learned how successfully
to maintain themselves. We now and
here declare the inhumanity. cruelty, and
outrage that father and mother who pass
their daughters into womauhood, having
given them no facility for earning their
livelihood. Nine. de Stael said: ut is
not these writings that | am proud Of
but the fact that have the facility in
ten. occupations, so that, if necessary. l
could make my livelihood in any one of
them"

"A new commodity being exported from
Shanghai to the United States is rice
bran. For the past two years large
shipments have been made to Germany.
but not until this season has any, been ex-
ported to America. In former years the
bran was used BY the Chinese as feed for
animals or neglected as waste. Now The
70 mills in Shanghai from which it is to
lye had cannot meet the demand. It IS
said that it is used abroad as feed for ami
mails and also as fertilizer.

WORD TO WIVES AND MOTHERS.
Keep in advance your boys and your
girls. Be prepared to lead them, and do
not, as you value your husbands love,
allow him to develop and improve while
you lose your hold upon those things
which contribute so much to woman s
attractiveness.
| see about me every day sisters who,
when they married, were, | have not
single doubt, intellectually equal, if not
superior to the men with whom they cast
their lot. In some occult fashion they
drifted apart.
A maA in daily contact with bright
minds, in his travelling, thinking, plan
ming, reading, unconsciously grows away
from the woman of his choice unless she
is in turn keen witted enough to make up
her mind that this shall not be the
case.
"A man likes at night when he puts on
his slippers and settles down for a
smoke to discuss the topics of the mo-
ment and not babies and the delin-
quencies of the cook. Where one wom-
an can do this, a dozen would be utterly
at sea if an attempt were made to lure
them away from them, to them, always
fascinating themes, kitchen and nursery.
Be wary lest in yonr devotion to sew
ing machine, bread board, and broom,
you allow blessed opportunities for self
culture to slip by, until you find yourself
target for somebody's commiseration.
A mistaken notion ties women down
to petty details, when many precious
moments might be given to some thing
that would elevate and refine.
