Tl.t and TAlaafa. - Invention has done much to lighten the drudgery ota woman's life, and within the remembrance of most of us the change Is wonderful. Think ol the spinning aud weaving and the inconvenience that attended the dairy work. Now the products of the dairy are sold In milk, or the butter Is made at the creamery. In view of the great improvements one would almost think there need not be much "domestlo manage ment." But the housewife of to-day works Just as hard, If not harder, than did those ot flf ty or one hundred years ago. Our houses are larger and more rooms are used. Once the kitchen and sleeping rooms were used daily, and the sitting room and parlor only on state occasions. Now the parlor Is used as much as the kitchen, and we must strive not only to keep It cluun but to make It attractive. Once a garment would wear for years before it was worn out, and It was always In fashion. Now It must be made over twice a year ( if It wears as long ), for fashion must be observed to some extent, and many believe that we might as well be rut of the world as out of the fashion. The children of to-day make greater demands on their parents than did those of long ago. They only at tended school twenty or twenty-0ve weeks of the year, and when old enough helped In the house or out ot doors. Now children go to school forty weeks, and parents must assist them. To supply the wants of the children and the necessary demands of home requires a small fortune, which, un fortunately, few farmers are blessed Ith. The fact that the farmer s In come Is so small, in these days, is one reason why the duties of the furmer's wife are so arduous. Bhe labors to give the children all the advantages In her power, taxing her mind and body to devise " ways and means " In order not to make too great a drain on the husband's parket. It requires much more work to do the cooking now, as the style of living has changed very much in our day. Our homes must be mode attractive ; this must be done lnrgely by woman's hand, and it Is wonderful how much skill and taste some women display In this. To make home attractive for our children we must be social and cheerful, and this is sometimes hard for a tired house keeper. We must not forget that aocietv has demands on us. We must entertain and mingle with the world, and must attend the grange meetings now and then. To do all this try to systematize your work ; plan for the morrow be fore you retire at night; have every- tmnir convenient aoout tuv uuuw, and be well supplied with labor-saving untensus. JS.X. JL Valambl Hint. It used to be said of a new dress that the making will cost as much as the material, but now it is even double In amount. Most of the Boston dress makers ask from twenty-five to thirty dollars for making a street dress. A woman of economic Intention recently olanned to save by adding a new waist to an old gown and spent days in searching for the best terms of making. The prices ranged from fifteen dollars tor good work to six dollars for an uncertainty of fit. The economy of renewing a part of the .lress at such a cost became doubtful. This woman and many others might profit by the successful experiment o a Maine woman. She gave lessons In dressmaking by which she taught her pupils enough of the mysteries to oe able to make thelrown dresses. For about the. overage price of making one, dress she drafted a perfectly fit ting "pattern for the pupil aiid then The Jew la Hiucta. Tho London Telegraph's 8t. Peters burg dispatch says: Terrible scenes attended the Jewish expulsions, many Jews dying on the way. The misery In the Jewish settlements, which are onimmed with new arrivals, Is Inde scribable. All speeches and pamphlets In favor of the Jews are prohibited. The government is considering a scheme to solve the Jewish question, which, it adopted, will astonish and perhnps shock the civilized world. An Odossa paper states that 50,000 Jews hove joined tlte Greek and Lutheran churches since the Issue of the expulsion decrees. Each one em bracing the orthodox faith receives a gratuity of 15 rubles. The Moscow correspondent of ths Standard says : AU engaged in the various business agencies find it Im possible to collect debta, and hundreds of bills are protested daily.

Jews, who only left their belongings cover debts amounting to 050,000. At St. Petersburg the synagogue has already been sold for45,000. The new and unused synagogue in Mos cow has been offered for sale, as It Is useless In the face ot the exodus. A Moscow letter to the Times records the sacrifices made by Jewish em igrants. In many coses they hove sold their belongings for the merest trifle, chairs being bought for two pence and beds for sixpence each. Many persons destroyed their goods in preference to selling them at a soc- Ifloe. Many Bussians declined to pay debts owed to the Jews. Heartrending scenes are witnessed dally In the synagogue, people weep ing and praying to Jehovah to nelp them. Thousands of workmen are Idle who hitherto have been employed by Jews. Foreign importers ore keep ing back goods on the frontier. It is reported that one Swiss silk arm nas lost S40.000 in a single week. Neither Jews nor Gentiles are paying their debts. The New Tork Graphic says It has Baron Hirsoh's authority to deny that ho has bought land in Pennsylvania for a Jewish colony. It says the scheme to devote 3,000,000 to assist ing Jewish emigration is only In embryo. At present the Baron Is only assist ing Jews to the Argentine Bepubllc, although he Is looking to other avail- ble colonies in South America for a large scheme of emigration which is ndeflned. The Rothschild syndicate has asked the Bussian government to postpone the Issue ot the conversion loan. It rumored the syndicate will with draw altogether from its engage ments. Since the foregoing was published the Bothschilcs have withdrawn their backing from Bussia's refunding loan and the czar has suspended the execu tion of the expulsion decree for one vear as to owners of personal property and two years In the case of owners of eral estate.

The begluner is as 111 at ease as a cat with paper shoes ou, and more certain to come to grief. With the ab ject humility that follows the first trial comes a respect for the snnw-shoer of only average ability, awe and d mi ra tion for the expert who shuffles along unoonscious of the great flat surfaces tied to his feet. In the northern part of the United States, and in Canada, where It is said the year consists of "eight months winter and four months poor sled ding," the snow-shoe is a necessity for hunters, trappers, sod those who must travel the uu broken snow. These men begin as boys tramping about with loDg narrow clapboards fastened to their feet, setting wire nooses for the little white rabbits that trsck the snow ith their own broad feet. As they grow older tliey get their first pair of raw-hide snow-shoes, and with these thev co beatinz about the country on longer excursions with gun on shoulder scaring away everything but the noisy squirrels and impudent chickadees. As men. one moat be with them to ap. predate the eaae with which they can ran. the marvellous way they slide down the steepest banks, clinging to limbs snd bushes, and now tuey go. ith skip and jump, after the long- legged, startled moose, through the roughest places where the great trees uprooted or the storms lie piled In end less confusion underneath the snow, never tripping. never falling.

Luor distances across countrv are accomplished as quickly and with less fatiirue on snow-shoes over the snow than on foot over the same ground after the snow has melted away- There is something in the spring of the snow shoe snd in the manner of the long swinging step that makes it easier tban ordinary walking, especially if the trroun'l Is uneren. Nothing is more awkward for a be ginner than learning to keep right side up on snowsnoes. it is not npcessarv to walk with legs stretched wide apart, for one shoe is lifted over instead of around the other.

The Smithsonian Institution has just received information, not yet printed or made public in this country, of the reeent discovery at Tel-el-Ainarla. in Upper Egypt, of a number of tablets relating to the history of Jerusalem and dating back COO years earlier than any records hitherto known. When it Is understood that these tablets of stone are tetters psssed between the King of Jerusalem and the Pharaoh of Egypt 400 years before the birth of. David, who was the father of Solomon, " some notion will be formed of their extreme late rest. These letters were written, so Dr. Cyrus Adler told a writer for the Star, about the year 1500 B. C, and east a great light upon the relations of Kgvpt at that ancient epoch. This of "course wss long be fore Jerusalem was captured by the Jews. At that time Palestine was a federa tion of independent cities, eaeh of -v whieh, like Jerusalem, was governed by a prefect" this word meaning literally "King of a City." Neverthe less, these towns paid a tribute to tha Pharoab, and it was in relation to this tribute thst several of the letters found were addressed to the ruler of Egypt by the King of Jerusalem.

For example, in one missive he -f" . .. ... . . "enoia, mis cuy ox erusajem neither my father nor my mother has given unto me, bat the call of a mighty king." This refers to the ancient custom ia Palestine by which rulers were Borne time chosen Id consequence of a sup posed divine eall and without any reference to hereditary law. Having been summoned to his throne by the Deity.Abdi-Taba argued that be should be treated more leniently with regard to tribute. In another of the letters bs says: "Behold, neither my father nor my mother baa appointed me to this place, but the mighty King has msde me enter into the bouse of my fathers." That the "mighty fting" spoxsn oi was the Deity is proved by the fact that to him as authority is referred aa oracle Inscribed opon another tableL which says that: "Aa long as a snip sails upon the sea. so long will Mesopo tamia and Babylonia conquer." The chief aim of the three other let ters written by Abdi-Tsba Is to ask tha Pharaoh for military aid against tha foreign eonqnerors invading ratestlne. and esoeciallr tbedistrict of Jerusalem. These warlike strangers be calls peo ple of Uabirt In other woraa, iney were Hebrews. It seems hardly prob able that the Hebrews as a nation should hsvs Invaded Palestine at so arly a date, and so it is likely that ' these, were some advanced tribes of Israel which settled dowa west of the Jordan, and made incursions from time to time. In one of the letters on this subject Abdi-Taba says The Habiri people are conquering the cities of the King" L a., the ciiies tributary to tbe Pharaoh "tnerefors) the King may turn his face to his sub jects and send troops. If the troops arrive this year tne eoauines oi ins King, my Lord, may be saved, but if no troops arrive the countries of the King, my Lord, wttl exist no longer." This tremendous "find" at Tel-el- Amaria includes 200 tablets, largely of Babylonian cuneiform scripL which is thus discovered for tbe nrst lime to have been in use at so early a period in Egypt and Palestine. Many of the other tablets are dispatches of about the same date from prefects ot other cities of Palestine to tha Pharaoh. Some of tha inscriptions are in an un known language, which no one has so far been able to translate. It is funny to think that Solomon himself woald have looked upon these tablets as re mote antiquities. Wiuhingtom Star. 4 What Oae Sweet Girt OocU. Caring for the Sick.
