In a paper on “ Education in the Treat­
ment of Nervous Girls” the author urged
the value of cultivating a love of good
books. “ First should come the nursery
classics, ’ Mother Goose,’ ‘Cinderella,’
‘Prince Fortunatus,’ etc., to be followed
later by Grimm, Hans Andersen, ‘A lice in
Wonderland,’ Howard Pyle’s ‘ Wonder
Clock’ and others equally fascinating.
A bout the age o f eight the child can be
led by the hand through parts of Shake­
speare’s plays. At twelve come Dickens,
some of Thackeray and Cooper, all of
Hawthorne, and the most interesting
works of the best novelists. A t the age of
fifteen the carefully guided child may be
left free to tumble about in a library.
The paper later on udvised the study of
history, which the French consider the
most important study of all for a woman.
It will be noticed that ull the books recom­
mended until history is begun are stories
of the imagination, which it would seem
almost harmful to the easily excited na­
ture of a nervous child, but this criticism
is answered in the paper with the asser­
tion that interest must be developed and a
healthy imagination cultivated, which is
possible only through the love of good
books.
Some listeners to this paper afterward
discussed it informally, and one woman
made the pertinent suggestion that moth­
ers were oft en responsible for nervous girls
through their constant stirring them up.
“ I have seen a mother,” she said, “ call
her little daughter of four years of age
perhaps to her side and deliberately go to
work to put the child in a state of excite­
ment, telling her of some promised pleasure
with increasing animation, enjoying the
responsive kindling of the child's face, till
the little one runs off—a pretty picture
with sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks,
but with heart going pit-a-pat and nerves
tingling. There may be some stolid natures
that need such awakenings. For the most
part, though, I think American children
are far too excitable naturally to need any
tfort of stimulus. If the pressure is all the
other way they will still rebound sufficient­
ly to preserve the equilibrium.
“ Another mistake, in my opinion, is to
let nervous children understand that they
are such. How often one hears a mother
say, ’ Helen is such a nervous child’ in
Helen’s presence, and with the intonation
of its being rather a thing to be proud of
than otherwise! At least Helen is likely
to consider it such, for I have heard such
little girls decline doing something which
they preferred not to do with the superior
dictum, ‘No, that makes me nervous.’
| What a pitiable distinction!
“ To me, the mother of a nervous little
girl has a tremendous responsibility, which
she can meet only with unremitting vigi­
lance in the matter of dress, food, hours of
rest and occupation of the afflicted child
which

great longings to see them repeated in the
present time. Especially are they bewitch
iug to the young housekeepers, who have
visions of surprising their husbands with
a bill of fare copied from ancient times.
Yet they have no idea of what the peculiar
dishes were composed.
A “ young lady” writes us: “ I have read
so much of the wonderful feasts and bigi-
quets given in ancient times, the almost
fabulous entertainments of the nobles and
emperors of Greece and Rome, that I am
curious to kuow something more definite
about them. Do tell me, dear madam, if
you can, how the dishes, which must have
Cost a small fortune, were prepared? Of
what did they consist?
“ I am young, expecting soon to go to
housekeeping. I am fond of trying new
things, and can afford a little extrava­
gance to enable me to do so. It would be
such a pleasure to surprise my husband
by bringing him a dainty entertainment,
entirely Querent from the common run of
things.”
You would in d f d surprise your husband
and guests, my dear child, with something
“ different from the common run of things,”
if we could give you such recipes; but
few, if any, have been recorded, and none
that you would willingly follow. Their
banquets were wondei fully lavish in the

I have felt that some one should warn
young mothers of many of the ways in
which a baby carriage may be dangerous.
I have hoped that an ubler pell than mine
would take up the subject, but thus far
have seen nothing. I know how much
both mother and child need the air, but in
our variable climate, with its easterly
winds and sudden changes, a child is far
better left at home until the weather has
become settled.
I often see babies in
charge of children not large or strong
enough to guide the carriage safely over a
curbstone, and it strikes the c u r s o r side­
walk with a jar that must affect the spine
unpleasantly at least, if not dangerously.
Then again I see babies lying fiat on their
backs, with the sun, in all its blinding
force, shining directly in their eyes. Is it
any wonder that so many of our boys and
girls are weariug spectacles or eyeglasses?
Not long ago I saw a baby, perhaps five
weeks old, lying with the lace border of
tile shade flapping back and forth across
its little face in a manner that must have
been as painful to the child as it was to
me, but as t he poor baby could not petition
for a change it was obliged thus to suffer.
I kuow these things are not done intention­
ally, but all the same they are not pleasant
for the child, and in many cases they are
positively injurious. These are ouly a few
instances, but if they lead the mothers
who read them to observe for themselves
I think they will agree with me that a
baby carriage, although a great con­
venience, may, if not properly handled, be
a source of discomfort to the baby.—“ A
Grandmother” in Lynn (Mass.) Item.

Young women make a big blunder if
they do not learn to take care of a home. It
is a grievous social and moral wrong when
girls are brought up helpless in household
life. How often w e see mothers busily en-
. aged in dome.- iic duties like a slave, in
order that the girl may enjoy every luxury
and io nothing; indeed many hardly let
their daughters soil their hands. No
woman ought to marry who cannot look
well ho t he ways of her household. In case
she may not herself be required to work
she ought to be able to see whether the
work is done in a proper manner. A woman
is out of her element unless she is ac­
quainted to a certain extent with the sci­
ences of bakeology, boilology, stitchology,
m&keology and mendology. There never
was a greater blunder than to substitute
good looks for good qualities.
The reason why so many men do not
make homes for themselves in these days
is lascause they cannot afford it. The
women are too much averse to working,
and too extravagant in all their tastes.
We want more frugality, industry and
system. If we could introduce these virtues
into our higher society we should diminish
the envy, jealousy and suicides o f the sin­
gle, and the wretchedness, bickering and
divorces of the married. Every girl ought
to be brought up to have regular domestic
duties. Idleness should be forbidden her.
The only dignified life is a useful life.—
Labor Tribune.

The great love a little girl has for her
family of dolls is only a copy in miniature
of ♦he maternal affection that is showered
upon her own little self. The Instinct is
born in her, and there is no sweeter or more
innocent play than the mimic representa­
tion of home life that she gives with her
inanimate companions, large and small.
Readers of human nature, if they watch a
child with her dolls, will very readily as­
certain how she herself Is treated. The
conversations between her and her doll
baby are sure to be copies of those her
mother holds with her.
The wise utterances sh6 lets fall she has
heard from father or mother. The poor
little rag doll who is continually being
scolded and punished is receiving only such
admonition as the child mother herself re­
ceives, while on the other hand, if she is
sweetly reasoned with and is only gently
rebuked, the duns come in only for kind

Who named the flowers? Eve perhaps,
after Adam named the creatures. I tbiuk,
dear women, that Eve must have named
the flowers, because her daughters are so
proud of them. They were named before
the time of Solomon, you know. But how
comes it tfiat so many flowers have the
lam e fancy names in more than one lan­
guage?
Thus to take some o f our common wild
flowers—quiusywort is in French herbe a
l’esquinance; clematis is called by our
country folks beggars’ weed, in French it
is herbe aux queux; mignonette—little dar­
ling—is herbe d ’amour; scurvy grass, alsq
called spoon grass, is herbe aux cilleres;
herb Paris is herbe a Paris; moneywort is
herbe aux ecus. How did these names
come to be alike in both languages? On
the other hand, some of the French names
are not in the least like our own. Black
briony, for instance, is herbe aux femmes
battues; centaury is herbe aux mille florins;
adder’s tongue is herbe aux mille miracles;
goose foot is herbe du bon Henri, and wil*
low herb is herbe St. Antonio.—London

the most trivial things are taken for slights

The French, Austrian and German wom­
en all seem to have gone to hips and busts.
They do not compare in grace, elegance or
delicacy to the American woman. Beauty
of a rare order is never seen. The thorough­
fares of Baltimore will disclose more beau­
ties any day than an entire season at Carls­
bad. The salesladies in the large stores of
Baltimore are infinitely handsomer than
the conservatory buds of Vienna, Dresden
or Berlin.
Although there is, outside the native, a
population of 20,000 foreigners at Carlsbad,
you would not discover a careless or freely
behaved woman in the place. W hat is
known in America as “ mashing” is wholly
unknown at Carlsbad. Any clear evening
between 6 and 7, at Puffs, a thousand tables
can be seen well filled, and a still larger con­
course of women and men are at the same
time promenading, but there is no more
flirting or mashing going on between these
strangers than if they were at a Quaker
meeting.—Cor. Baltimore Sun.

Now that leather forms so important an
element of decorative work the economical
woman will, in her day and generation,
save up her old gloves o f all light tints, be
cause sue knows that by ripping the wrists
and washing them up in gasoline she can
make the daintiest card cases, book covers,
photograph frames and tobacco pouches in
the list. It only needs a few stitches by
the clever needlewoman, a few strokes of
the brush by the skilled artist, to trans­
form the castoff glove into a thing of
beauty, if not a joy forever.
And there m ight Fie some one foolish
enough to care all the more for the gift you
present because it was made o f the gloves
you had worn—so much sentiment has ever
been attaciied to a woman’s glove. It was
for a woman’s glove that the lover in the
poem risked his life in the lion’s cage, and
it has been a woman’s glove that many a
knight has Fiound upon his spear for a
talisman in the lists of honor ami glory.—

The other kind of golden wedding 1« not
so sentimental but it i3 far more real.
When a young man wins the hand of a
Miss Astor or Vanderbilt, a Miss Goelet,
Lori Hard, Rockefeller or other maiden of
that class, and the fond father comes down
wit h a check for a million or so, that is «
real golden wedding. There is something
in it. And decidedly the most romantic
recent affair of that sort was the capture
of Miss Florence Blythe, of San Francisco,
and her $4,000,000 by Mr. Frederick W.
Hinckley, of the same city.
Some folks m ight say there was a bad
flavor about the money. There was a long
and interesting trial, and Judge Coffey de­
cided, putting it bluntly, that Florence
was “ the natural child of Thomas H.
Blythe and heir to the entire property lefk
by him .” An appeal from that decision is
now pending in the supreme court of Cali­
fornia, hut every one seems to take It for
granted that the decision of Judge Coffey
will be sustained. She appeared in child­
hood as a claimant for the estate, and has
been reared and educated as an expectant
heiress. She has lived for many years with
her maternal grandmother, and is a lady
of beauty and culture. The bridegroom is
a society young man of the best class and
the couple will live in Oakland.
Far more amusing and peculiar was the
experience of Mr. Luther James itabcock,
of Ann Arbor, Mich., who has received
bushels of letters from ladies he never saw,
and so many proposals of marriage that he
long ago lost count, ull of which has in no­
wise lessened his naturally good opinion
o f himself. He is aliout forty five years
old, only 5 feet 8 inches in height, slightly
gray and not at all imposing in manner or
appearance. But his old bachelor uncle
left him $500,000 on condition that he marry
a good woman in Five years, and that fact
was widely published. Hence these letters
from maids and wilows, each of whom
thought she could make a fine wife for a
$500,000 mam
He just did save himself—just “ got in
under the wire,” as jockeys say—by marry­
ing a Waukesha (W is.,) belle the other day.
His uncle was long known as the eccentiie
old bachelor, Luther James. There was
nothing very eccentric t. lut him, how­
ever, except that he seemed preternatu-
rally sharp in detecting designs upon his
domestic liberty. If invited to any house
where he was likely to meet an eligible
lady he took care uot to lie inveigled.
From the start lie invested in land, and as
Ann Arlior grew he became almost s mil*
lionaire.
He was already old when his nephewand
namesake w ent to live with him. The boy
was reserved—a natural “ office man,” the
people said—and constant association with
his relative ouly heightened his disposi­
tion. He was kindness itself to the old
man, however, and had not a vice—did not
even chew gum. They did business at Ana
