The Romance of Home.
We would not imply that education is
to blame for the threatened fading away
of tho romance of homo to our woman
kind, says a writer in tho London Queen,
but that therole of education in women's
lives is often misunderstood. The home
woman must always be the ideal type of
woman, not only of tho married, but
also of the unmarried. It is the fashion
to lament the number of tho latter and
puzzle over their position as over a seri
ous social problem ; yet the majority of
our dear old maids must bo home-women,
if tho world is to continue to care for its
comfort and tending. Tho teaching of
other women's children, tho nursing of
the sick, the care-taking of our beloved
old ones, must still belong to them. It
is because the "home-woman" is the
ideal type of woman that all must be
done to develop her nature harmonious
ly ; because society is an outside interest
to her, sho needs the cultured intellect
that finds delight in reading and study
in her leisure hour; because she has the
growing generation to influence, she
should have her sympathies attuned to
noble things and large interests, because
she would be man's companion, and the
source whence is derived the order and
economy of his household, she must have
her judgment developed, her reasoning
powers trained, her understanding
braced, Lcr imagination chastened, by
the ideas which only a liberal education
can supply. "Wo would have women
educated in every detail. It has been
well said no revolution could compare
in it effects with those produced by ed
u cat ion and training on our women.
But tho womanly element must not be
taken out of it ; woman must aim to be
the poet and artist in her life before be
ing the poet and artist in her works.
Her duties and her enthusiasms must go
hand in hand ; not dutv here and cn
thu&iasm there. The vnlgarest duties
of life may be poetized by the spirit in
which thev are interpreted ; and it is in
this account that, of all women, educa
tion is most necessary to the home
woman. Nothing can seem flat or in
sipid to one who has a grain of poetry
in her heart The love of goodness and
beautv brings charm to abide in right
doing. If we look about for an exam
ple of what we consider to be the true
home woman, we find it shining forth in
the pages of a journal kept by a French
woman, Eugenie de Guerin, written for
her brother Maurice. Every incident
of the simple, stately, patriarchal life
led by the little" family in the
Chateau du Cavla is chronicled;
the household perplexities, the
letters receivod, the visits "paid few to
the rich, many to the poor the pil
grimages to the church hard by arc afi
recounted. There is excellent sense ia
every page that records the discharge of
Mile. Do Gucrin's household duties; she
keeps the accounts, she can cook, she
supervises the form people, she nurse
the sick. She throws her heart into
every detail of her life, and invests it
with a charm and interest, and all the
while finds time for thinking and
writing. Her literary genius has now
been recognized by "her country. Her
diary reveals her irrntr, as well as her
simple, homely, outer life her wander
ings on the hillsides and in Use woods,
with her thoughts for cempaaions. The
life ci reading, writing and thinking is,
of all others, the one she would prefer
to lead. An extract from hei journal
will paint her poetic, cultured and still
the home woman to tho heart's core.
"In the stillness of a life like this my
spirit is happy, and, as it were, dead to
all that goes on up-stairs or down-stairs,
in the house or out of the house. But
this dors not last Ions. 'Come, my
poor spirit,' I then say to myself, we
must go back to the things cl tnis
world and I lake :ay spinning, or a
book, or a saucepan, or I play with
AYolfe or Triblv. Such a life as this I
call Leaven upon earth."'

the Bessemer and tho Siemens-Martin
processes of steel manufacture are ear
ned on. The Crcwo works are said to
5 been the largest r.iilwav works in
1S43, for the purpose of repairing tho
locomotive engines, carriages and wag
ons required for tho Grand Junction
lUilway, afterwards absorbed m the
more extensive Northwestern. Ma
chinery for tho manufacture of rails was
added in 1S53, and in 1557, on the am
algamation of the northom with tho
northeastern divisions, tho Crewe works
became the centtcof tho engine and car
riage departments of the northern divis
ion of the line. In 1SC1 works wore
erected for the manufacture of Bessemer
steel, and in 1SC9 or 1S70 an ojxn-
hearth steel-making plant was added,
which lias since been largely used in the
production of steel for locomotive pur
poses. Upwards of 2,000 locomotives
have been made at tbe Crewe works, and
as iri an v as 146 in ono year. No other
works in the, country have made and

Tho jiaper which made tho statement a
given to exaggeration, and doubled tie
sum. Dr. Halls saury is nearer
$15,000 than $30,000. Tho statement
was also made that tho doctor receives
$10,000 a year in wedding fees. Tha
is not surprising as many who como to
him to bo married are millionaires, or
the sons and daughters of millionaires
Dr. Hall rushes into print to correct tbe
statement as to tho fees, lie says: "If
I publish tho actual facts I havo a
little apprehension that I may Ioso tin

part which always look deferentially oa
large sums of money. I am aware that

readers of a portion of the press tint

never personally knew of a wedding fee
of more than $100, and that I never re
ceived as much as $500 of marriago fees
in one year, why, I may go down in tho
estimate of my fellow-citizens. I shall
bo to thorn no more than one twentieth
of what I seemed. My shallow will be
less. Not only so, but I may seem to
reflect on that particular part of the
press that affects this kind of news, but
I may not get credit in future even for
comparative good looks."
Having thus knocked $9,500 off of
his wedding fee account, Dr. Hall pro-

ceeds to denounce tbe whole wedding
fee business. He asks : "Would it
net be a good thing to cut off all of the
swell favors given to ministers such
as half fare passes on railroads, wedding
fees, and vcn 'donation mi ties,' and
let ministers be pat, like other nun, on
living salaries!"
This is too sweeping. As to railroad

The Suliotes formed a semi-independent

regularity of the payments of their dues

Gov. Gixselon'a Love Marriage.
His first wife was 3Iiss Waldron, and
by her he had five children, four ot
whom are now alive. He went out
with a Maine regiment early in tho war,
but soon returned home. When ho
came back ho married the wife of a man
who had gono to California when the
fever broke out, but who had alwayB
tent back plenty of money. Just "lc
fore the marriago $700 was received
from him, and this helped to buy the
wedding pfesenta; Just three weeks
after the marriago tho former husband
returned from Cairfornia and was greatly
surprised to find that his wifo was tho
wife of another. Ho went to Garcelon
and, yflBftho could keep tho woman,
his money back. An ar-
mauo .and ho returned
rnia. Rochester Democrat

"Give mo a sou, mister," said a Paris
gamin to a gentleman tho other day, "I
havo had no dinner." "Xo more havo
I," answered tho gentleman, who was
rushing to his rsstaurant. "Wjoll,
then," raid the boy, "give nio two sous,
and we'll dino together."
It ia notorious that the conditi
tiens termed nervous and hysterical
are almost entirely confined to th fe
male sex, in which they are extremely
common. Every physician at a hospital
who treats out-door patients knows that
for every hundred men he prescribes for
he is called upon to treat at least fire
hundred women. On ths other hand
the male wards are always full, while
many of the female beds are vacant
This simply indicates that serious dis
ea;o is most common in men while
trifling nervous ailments are almost urn
venal in women. Most women are nat
urally so predisposed that when sub
jected to fright, grief, anxiety, pain and
other such circumstances, they feel (in
addition to tho direct distressing effects)
various remote subjective phenomena in
the form of suffocations, spasms, bodily
pains, fainting, ccnvuUicns, and a gen
eral liability to violent and cxplosivo
emotional demonstrations. If the
causes are permanent their effects may
become to, and may also deteriorate
the general heal Ji, and thcro ;sxe thou
sands of women who ato hopelrss inva
lids, often for life, from conditions act
ing on their susceptible and mobile ner
vous systems, which in tho other rex
would have produced no appreciable re
sults. There are, of course, in this as
in other things, nnmcrous exceptions to
tho general rule, many women having
their natures much modified and ap
proaching the male type, and in the same
way thcro are some men who are of a
nervous and hysterical temperament
We may, then, assert as a fact, that tho
nervous system of tho average woman
it more susceptible and impressionable
than that of tho average man, that in
consequence it is more readily unhinged
by mental and physical distress or fa
tigue, and when thus discorded it reacts
upon the system so as to cause perma
nent disease. Dr. Bennett in Sanitary
Record.
