Homraaklag Reqalrea tady. Many women make the mistake of thinking that the calling of homemak Ing needs no preparation, and the re sult la disappointment on both aides. Every girl should be taught plain cooking and sewing and have some knowledge of every branch of domestic work; It will prove a valuable asset In whatever line of business she may ngage, and should she marry, the duties of keeping house will not.be nearly do difficult. Some do not marry, many late In life; others still are left widows, often with dependent families, and for such practical education Is desirable; but each one should select the work that she thinks she would like to do, and tiot for the reason that other have succeeded In It. A grammar school education, at least, Is necessary for any one who would enter an office. A high school education Is desirable, and even one year of this latter Is of great advan tage as a general preparation. ' I agree with one of your correspond ents that stenography Is a good busi ness for a bright girl; It does not re quire as long a time as some other branches for study and brings quicker returns than almost any other.

Woman .luilite In llrnmark, A woman has lately been made a judge In Denmark, and the Danish women are reported to be much excit ed, as they think It Is the first and only case of the kind in the world. To say nothing of Mrs. Esther Morris of Wyoming. Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCiilloch of Illinois, and Mrs. Mary Cooper of Kansas, rlo not our Danish Hiswers read their Bibles? Have they forgotten Deborah, the wife of Lapl loth, who judged Israel for forty years. sitting under a palm tree, and led out the forces of the chosen people to battle because the general refused to march without her? Mr. Blackwell was very fond of quoting Deborah to those who claimed that the Bible teaches the . subjection of women, and he empha sized the fact that Deborah was a mar ried woman.

' The effect was startling but undoubtedly picturesque. Another new and unusual fashion, which will be of interest to girls. Is that of tying kerchief around the head.

It is a good time to change to a bare floor and a few rugs. The finishing of the floor Is a very simple matter. -It may be painted, stoned, oiled or waxed. In any case It should be cleaned thoroughly, all stains removed and given a coat of filler. If the floor was made for a carpet there will probably be cracks which will need filling. Putty colored like the wood is very satisfactory for this. If the boards are knotty, they should be painted. Otherwise a trans parent finish may be used. Stains made by paint or varnish are easily removed with ammonia, but it should be put on with a brush. The whole floor may be cleaned In this way. The ammonia darkens the wood somewhat.

Now as a matter of fact to walk correctly, which means easily, grace fully and without fatigue to walk In such a way Is not difficult If one will pay a little attention to the matter. To walk properly only two things are necessary: First, an erect carriage of the body; second, flexibility of the joints and muscles.

"Cry. It will do you good," I said once to a poor Japanese woman, who, crouching beside her dying husband, was controlling herself with an effort that would, I feared, make her ill. She laid her little slim brown finger upon her trembling red Up and shook her head, then whispered, "It might disturb him." "Cry. It will do you good," I said the next day, when the man was dead, and she seemed almost prostrate with grief and over-enforced self-control. "It would be most rude to make a hideous noise before the sacred dead," came the soft reply. Which la Why.
