At .this season the texnperatare aa! lia
ble to .fall many degrees in a few hoars,
and the Indian Bummer morning imay
be succeeded by wintry blasts at night.
It is therefore very difficult to arrange
the clothing of a little child so as to pro
tect it properly from these sudden
changes. :and colds are almost inevitable.
A baby's old is often a very distressing
matter to ithe mother. She knows how
liable an Apparently harmless cold is to
become a .fatal inflammation of the
longs. Netcold of an infant should fox
a moment be neglected. See at once
that the child is thoroughly protected
by flannels, f it is not so already.
Notice especially that the feet are kept
in warm, woolen socks or hose, which
must be secured; so that they cannot be
kicked off. Q rearing the baby's nose
with a little mutton tallow and nibbing
in a drop or two oI camphor certainly
relieves a cold in the head, although it is
an old wife's remedy. If the baby shows
any hoarseness lose not a moment, but
lay on the chest a flannel, cloth dipped
in sweet oil, or rubbed thick with mut
ton tallow, over which a tablespoonful
of camphor has been sprinkled. Heat
this greased and camphorated cloth and
.apply it as hot as it can be borne, cover
ing it with a piece of drv flannel to re
tain the' heat and to keep it from greas
ing the child's clothing. Before this
cloth is cold replace it by another hot
one. After such treatment a child will
often fall asleep and wake up entirely
recovered.
If the hoarseness continues, however,
or shows any signs of growing worse, a
physician should be summoned at once,
as moments of a baby's sickness are
equivalent to hours in grown persons'
illness. The strongest child requires the
tenderest and most unremitting care to
bring it through infancy strong and
sound, without any organic weakness,
which may develop in after years.
When the child's cold settles in the
bowels nothing is better than an appli
cation of flannels wrung out in hot
liquor, laid over the stomach and ab
domen, and covered with dry flannel.

A, Home Society for Girls.
At last New York is to have a home
a free, respectable American home,,
where young women out of employment
can find shelter, sympathy and substan
tial aid. The institution is to be the
same sort of a place as a public school,
with no more charity, religion, politics
or restriction, and will be supported and
maintained by the French Evangelical
church of the city of .New York. The
certificate of incorporation has been filed
in the connty clerk's office ana the work
of establishment will begin at once, the
board of managers including Mrs. Lena
Roberts, Mrs. Caroline Lecoultre, Mrs.
Marie Xrrosjeans, Mrs. Emilia Swy effort.

The Yotrag Women's Home society
will provide unemployed young women
whose occupation is that of a teacher,
maid or domestic with a pleasant home
and good board. Medical attendance
will be furnished the sick, decent and
comfortable clothing provided for the
needy, together with financial aid, good
counsel and friendly support and encour
agement. The needs of the girl will be
sufficient plea for admission, and, as in
the regulation of a public hotel, good
conduct will serve as a guarantee of
good character. The catechising to which
the . applicant will be subjected is in
tended for industrial use only, in order
to acquaint the examiner with her ability.
Suitable- and profitable employment
will be found for her without any charges
or fees whatever.
Intended to benefit the French girl
directly, it is not decisive whether other
nationalities will be debarred from the
privileges of the . home. "There is some
need in New York city for a dozen just
such organizations as the Home society
promises to be. New York World.
I The National Council of Women.
The National Council of Women of
the United States, organized in the
spring of 1888, will hold the first of its
triennial meetings in February, 1891, in
Albaugh'8 opera house, in Washington.
It will last four days, including seven
public sessions.
Eleven of the most important national
organizations of women in the country
have- entered the council. As soon as
any organization enters the council, its
president becomes an acting vice presi
dent in the council, and it has also the
right to appoint one person to represent
it on the executive board. ' This board
includes the general officers of the coun
cil, together with the presidents of all
organizations belonging to it, and one
delegate besides its president from every
organization.'
, The corresponding secretory of ! the
council, Mrs. May Wright Sawall, 843
North Pennsylvania street, Indianapolis,
will gladly answer all inquiries ad
dressed to her, and will see that every
provision is made for the appropriate
representation on the programme of all
departments of work in whose prosecu
tion the women of the country have ef
fected national organizations.
. It is hoped that women interested in
women's work will respond to this call
and give the aid necessary to render the
first triennial meeting worthy of the ob
jects in whose behalf the National Coun
cil was formed. Kate Field's Washing

I There are hundreds of bright women
and girls who have taken up claims in
the western" part of the state and lived
on them until they got a deed for the
land. - mere are Hundreds of women in

pending on them from going hungry;

there are fasadredbs of womb who
do anything a man can do, has -ever
4oaor ever,, tried too,nd there are
hundredsof women in Kansas who want
equal rights- with men. -. The signs are
that what they ask will be conceded
them. ' They have taken charge of the
public schools, and no state in the Union
has better. They are members of school
boards, county and city superintendents
and teachers. - They lead in the educa
tional and prohibition movement.
They are making no noisy or threaten
ing clamor for equal rights. . They are
simply showing by what they do that
I they are the equal of man and that the
ballot in their bands would not only be
safe, but wisely used for the betterment
of the people and development of a state
that is coming to the front with greater
strides than any other in the Union.

Heading- Browning In Maerhneetta. v
The most devoted and uncompromis-
rtog worshipers of Robert Browning live
in Springfield, and, of course, they are
women. They gathered at the home of
well known lawyer, and listened with
rapt and soulful attention to selections
from the great poet as read by the law
yers wife. At length the reader paused
to learn if there might be any ennui on
the part of the audience. "It is exquis
ite." .murmured the. . Browningites in
consort, and the reading proceeded.
Again the hostess paused, solicitous, and
asked iter guests if they were sure they
liked it. "Oh, yes," was the chorus," "it
is beautiful." "But do you understand
it?" asked Mrs. Lawyer; "I can't make
anything out of it." "Why, yes, we
comprehend it perfectly," was the assur
ance, "and it is so delightful that we
would like to hear some more." Then
the wicked reader coolly informed the
enthusiasts that she had been reading
the poems backward for half an hour.
The name of this practical joker may be
learned on inquiry of almost any mem
ber of Springfield "society." Springfield

Women la Hotels.
The most desperate creature on
earth," said the clerk of a well known
uptown hotel, "is a woman from out
of town in a hotel bedroom on a wet
Sunday. There is absolutely nothing to
do, the confinement is almost intolera
ble, and the isolation of her lot is made
unusually painful by the fact that so
much is going on all around her from
which she is debarred. Men come to
town with their wives or daughters,
leave them at 7 in the morning, and go
off to attend to business. The ramifica
tions and extraordinary character of the
"business undertaken by 'rural visitors
is one of those, things which no man can
accurately gauge. It is certain, however,-that
the western merchants are out
of the hotel pretty . much all the time
from 8 in the morning till- 12 at night.
Sometimes they come in to : take their
meals with the women of their party,
but not -infrequently they leave them
entirely to. tbsiT Q?m' resources;'' New

A Pn Picture -of a Well Known Woman.
' One day last week a customer in one
of the large Brooklyn dry goods stores
stood waiting for her turn to be served
and idly watching the woman who was
claiming the attention of the clerk at the
moment. '- There was nothing about hex
to attract a second glance. She looked
to be close upon 60 years of age, her hair
was very gray, though not white, and
a pair of large, rather dark eyes looked
out from a colorless, unimpressive face.
In figure she was short and small, and
the black costume she wore was simple
to plainness. Yet when she gave her
name and address for a parcel to be sent
it was realized that this little woman of
insignificant appearance was one whose
name eighteen years ago was in every
body's mouth from one end of the coun
try to the other, and whose personality
at that time was almost as well known
as her name. She was Mrs. Theodore
Tilton. New York Times.
Pullman1! Pretty Daujjhters.
Two dashing young women these.
They are the Misses Pullman, of the
world. I say of the world, because,
while their home is in Chicago, they
know as many people in Boston, New
York, London, Paris and Vienna as in
the Lake city. They walk as erectly as
grenadier guards. They are Superbly
dressed, but their clothing is not in any
sense loud. They are both tall, being
pretty nearly six feet in height; have
rosy cheeks, clear skin and constitutions
made strong by judicious work. in the
gymnasium. They are seen very often
at the opera in' this city, go to the thea
tre frequently and are known in many
of the best houses on Fifth avenue.
They spend their time at the Windsor
hotel, and iwhenever they visit this city
their society is eagerly besought by
young men of the best . families. New

Boston Women.
All the women of Boston do not wear
gig lamps and calf shoes and carry broad
cloth', reticules bulging with manu
scripts and .leaflets of transcendental
philosophy. Anna Whitney is the vice
president of the St. Bernard club, of
Massachusetts, and knows . s .much
about dogology and dogdom- as. any
breeder in the country. She can size up
a dog at a glance. At the recent dog
show in Detroit, Mich., Miss Whitney
was one of the judges. As understood
by this canine connoisseur. "Go to the
dogs" is not a saw, but a proverb. In
stead of a reproach, she flaima the mean
ing has been distorted by abbreviation.,
"Go to the dogs for a lesson in patience,
love, fidelity and sagacity" is her inter
pretation of the old adage. Exchange.
