K MOST MOTHERS KNOW HER. tfha TlimiiflttlBHit Woman Who Hinders Her Nl(flilmrp with Her OoMlp. We are all acquainted wttli her, the worn to who never noes, who drop In for a call In the busiest part of the morning it little matters whether It Ik washing day or Iron liiK tiny, It Ih nil the hhiiiu to hur, Your Iron may grow cold and the clothes limy boil over, but HtUi she stays. Slie usually locutions that she has dropped in on a lit tle errand. It is probably a borrowing er rand. Only after she had exhausted your patienoe and produced an much (leraorall Katlomlu your household an sue cau la she ready to go. But oh. the goingl If you have any Idea that aha in really going you are quite cor tatn to be disappointed. She comes back to tell you ahout aome neighbor you had never neon or ever desired to Hue, to explalu the whys and wherefores of certain goings on in the neighborhood, tn which you take no interest, and then she lingers at the door and keep yon standing fur beyoud your strength. It la Impossible to calculate the time that is waated by well moaning worn en tu such whvm as these. It would lie an excellent thing If culls of all klnda could in some way be limited to a ten minute rule, hi the nodal world among women of lelaure it ia considered In bad form to lengthen one's visit beyond a set period, and when a woniuu has numerous acquaintances she usually has a visiting day aud uan becertnlnof freedom from in terruptloe during the rent of her time. There Is considerable excuse for the much abused "not at home" which ia frequently used by women of society; and which imply means not ut home to visitors, or engiiged, aud there is uo reason for any one's takluR otTcuae iu the matter. : Only woking women, the busy farmers' wives or women who do their own work, areauoject to cue anuoyanoe or the unan nounced visitor, who is bound by no social law as to her arrival or departure or bur length of stay, She in one uncertainqttan tity in ail the routine of the household. It would take a keen mathematician to calcu late the amount of spoilt dinners, spoiled washing and actual loss of money value for which sho is responsible, to say nothing of the loss of temper aud general misery consequent upou a diKarmtiKHl hnusniiold delayed duties and work put out of joint The very worst effect in that upon the visitor bersulf. Her own work must go awry wliile h1h spends her time goHHiping about the neighborhood. Her own charac tor deteriorates, while she become wtiut our grand mothers wore wont to call a "gadabout." Though she may have the most amiable intentions when she uncon sciously reiwats the mterusting stories of jthe neighborhood, the temptation to en large, to impugn motives when possibly there were uo motives, Is likely to render her in time a veritable seatidal monger, upon whose word no persou of sense will place any reliance. It ia not necessary to dwell upon the folly of borrowing, but it is enough to say that all provident and sensible houwikeejwre provide for the future and do not allow themselves to ittipose upou the good nature of their neighbors. New York Tribune, Boarding- vermis I1iiugkettilng, The question of boarding versus honse i keeping baa so far been discussed almost entirely from the standpoint of city iife. But in the country we have more people than iu the cities. The average country girl would consider it fearful exbravagauae to go boarding, - ft Is quite possible in the country lor a young couple to keep house and live well on what it cost the husband for his board alone, say thirteen dollars a month. To pay the double of that for board would absorb the entire Income, aud, of course, is not to lie thought of. But aside from the question of expense, most country girls prefer housekeeping, as it gives them a feeling of independence. They are doing something for a living as well as their husbands, it would be just , as well if city girls bad mora of thai spirit. xne umne metu ui a wuu in uuipuiBuu iur a man, the boarding house idea is simply a iMM... .1,. .,1...

But probably she does not love him. As like as not, for those girls who are board ing are usually such as would never have married a poor mail, but who are wilting to marry any man who asks them, provided he Is able to give them a good time either in a stylish bouse with a retinue of serv-. ante or In a boarding house with nothing to do. ' When the love is all one side It does pot last very long, and a boardiug bouse is ae good a place as any for it, for even a home iwould soon cease to be a home to the man iwho has married a woman without a heart. If the parties are mutually in love when they marry,, a boarding house will starve their love to death or at least to emacia tion. Don't risk it girl 8, -Cor.

A Plea for Common Bunne Drew, The raiu is falling in torents; men, wo men and children are hurrying along, re turning from a circus matinee. 1 look vith envy at the men so placidly enjoying the shower, as with umbrellas over their heads tbey walk and talk. I took at the women, poor wretches! aud a groan escapes me. Why are tbey why are we, so long suf fering? Every one with wet ankles, drabbled skirts, soiled shoes and ruffled tempers. Nor does the mischief end here. Tbey go home nursing all sorts of ailments and dis tempers which a wetting Is supposed to furnish, and as a matter of course, "the thing they fear comes upon them." 1 am going to ask you to give the matter of common sense dress some grave reflection. hen the matter Is well canvassed and understood let a convention be called, and let those who have genius and artistic ability take to this meeting a costume to be worn nt the reception given. Also let there be offered a medal of gold to the, woman furnishing the best utility suit, the decision to be placed in the hands of competent judges. The idea of a prize would be to stimulate some who would not otherwise make an ef fort toward emancipation. This medal in years to come would be an "heirloom" to be proud of. The woman whoemuncipatea ber sex from the slavery of petticoats more properly shaking, who gives woman the freedom of ber legs deserves to be "sainted," and she will be. Is it not a reflection on the all wise Creator when we assume our preseut style of covering for our lower extremities? If he intended us to use our legs as men use theirs, we have no right to restrict their freedom in walking, let us either adopt a manner of locomotion consistent with our dress, which 1 suggest be a bop, skip and jump, or let us adapt our dress to our limbs and their free use. Ellen Packer Pratt iu i-lomemuker. Beauty in the Hair. Fluffy hair, which wus the envy of every girl that did not possess it, has given place to glossy, well kept loots, which, bowever, are curled aud i round into, the crinkley waves which are very fashionable. The great fluffy bangs covering the forebeud aud ears, and reminding oue of a Shetland pony, are today scuruud, The smartest way of arranging the hair is the way in which a fashionable Paris hairdresser re cently did it. Dividing the hair on either aide he pinned it upon the top firmly with little pin. tie theu braided it in oue long braid and doubled it underneath, pulling it through a strand of the braid at the uape of the neck.' Iu this way the braid does not sag down or look ungraceful, but tils to the shape of the head, following iu curve up to the crown, when it is combed apart, divided and the cuds made iuto a smooth, beautiful bowknot. The bang he cut into different lengths and curled it iu li ve distinct curls, three on the top, curling them crosswise. Next taking ull the remaining buug, save a very little on the forehead, and curling it to ward the back of the head, lie tin is bed it by curling the remainder over the fore bead. He theu waited uutil It was alt en tireiy cool, when he pulled the curls all apart, touching uoue but the very light bang on the forehead with the comb, iu this way keeping them In little cuxJuaetr ting close ly the head. Exchange A W mi l tli y Widow. Thoro can be little doubt that a Chilian widow, Donna Isadora Uousino (called the 'iCountessof Monte (Jristo"), is the Wealth lest woman in the world, her coal mines alone bringing tier 4,01X1 a week. She is the possessor of millions of acres of land as well as millions of mouey, is the owner of coal, copper and silver mines, acres of bouse property iu Sautiagoand Valparaiso, a fleet of eight iron steamships, smeitiug works, a railway, and other productive property that yield her a stupendous iu come.

Ail it needs is a skillful shake to scatter tbe white powder and then it is ready for wear, with slender threads intact and as fresh as when new. New Vork Herald. How Women 81eef. A German physician says: "Tbe fact is women require a larger amount of sleep than men, Tbe nervous excitability of the female constitution is generally greater than is tbe case with the stronger Bex, and a woman's sleep is consequently lighter. Her dreams are more vivid and leave a more lasting impression on tbe memory. Women addicted to dreaming usually sleep an hour longer than those who do not dream, for dreams induce weariness. Any one who sleeps without dreaming rises on the morrow refreshed from bis couch, .which is otherwise not the case," Nueva Revista, J A Nut able Bedspread. Mrs. J, Milton Gavitt, of Holden street, has an old bedspread that was woven in 1759 as a portion of the setting out of Miss Vanuie Hopkinsoo ou her marriage with John Rath borne, the great-grandfather of Mrs. Gavitt's mother. What makes tbe spread such a choice relic is the fact that Miss Hopkins was the greut-great-grand-daughterof Stephen Hopkins, of tbe May flower. It has been handed down from one generation to another until it has fallen to Mrs. Gavitt. It is very handsome and has been carefully preserved. North Adams (Mass.) Transcript. Wlmlebone Seldom Used Now. There was a time when tbe corsets and stays of tbe fashionable girl could have told tales of wondrous romance; of daunt less sailors fighting under leaden skies against the monsters of the deep; of priva tion and suffering undergone by men whose wives aud daughters waited with aching hearts for their return from long and terrible voyages.

Mercer. The Utility of the Pretty GirL The pretty girl is a universal factor in modern life. She possesses the advantage not only of ornameut, but of utility. She has been utilized in au endless variety of ways. She has become a howliug success in the operatic ballet, and is as conspicuous and as original ia front of a typewriter or behind a counter as sue is on areas parade in a new spring suit or luxuriously lolling In a big easy chair. But it has remained for an enterprising Uouuectlcut minister of the gospel to ih traduce the pretty girl in a new sphere as a church usher.' Detroit Tribune. Mrs. Frances E.

Holders and Brashes, Tastes differ as to the size of holders foe use about tbe stove. Some like large, thin, ones, and others prefer them small and thick. It does not matter which way tbey are made, so you have plenty of them and use them. I make covers for them, which, can be easily slipped off and washed, with, a small ring or tnje sewed on one corner for hanging them up. Hang neartbestove. so there will be no temptation to use towels or an apron. Besides the various kinds of brushes used for scrubbing keep one exclusively for washing vegetables. Potatoes, turnips, beets, etc., can be more readily cleaned in this way than in any other. Use a small toothbrush for cleaning around the handles of cups and tureens, and for dishes with rough surfaces or raised designs. Keep it convenient and it will be used oftener, 1 keep mine in a drawer of my kitchen work table, beside my silver polish, chamois skin and other useful cleaners. 1 have found a small paint or varnish brush, costing five cents, a useful accom paniment to the larger stove Tplif,nit1K brush, as it can be made to reach into cor ners where tbe other one will not go. A nailbrush for tbe cook's and tbe chil dren's use is indispensable. Of courxe there are dust brushes, crumb brushes and toothbrushes.

Dr. King, the bishop of Lincoln, once found himself in a most embarrassing pre dicament He was assisting at the opening ceremony of a bazaar, which was being betd in aid of the Nurses' institution. During the course of the proceedings it was dis covered that pickpockets bad been at work, and several ladies proclaimed the loss of their purses. The fact was communicated to the bishop, who expressed his regret, at the same time examining his own pockets in the hope of finding nothing gona He was not disappointed nothing was gona He was, however, surprised, for front one of his pockets be brought a strange purse that be had never seen before. It con tained three coppers, and was ultimately discovered to belong to a Mrs. KIHb. a lady who was present ttnd among those Lament ing the loss of tbrir purses.

Exchange, Why Thnrghatten flat a Hole Through It. Thorgbattnn. the famous Norwegian mountain, baa a hole extending entirely ' through it from one aid to the other. According to a Norwegian legend this same Mount Thorghatten was once a hat and belonged to one Thorg; hence the name Thorghatten. (t seems that in the mythical ages a giant and giantess fell violently in lore with each other. They were forced to part' for a time, but vowed that they would marry in the near future. Soon after, however, the fickle woman pledged ber troth to an other. This angered her giant lover to a degree unknown to modern men of smaller atature. He was seventy miles from her when the elfs brought the news; but. selecting a good arrow, he shot it in her direction. Now it happened that her brother, Thorg, was standing in direct line of the arrow's flight. It went through his hat and skull, killing him instantly, and fell harmless at the feet of the faithless giantess. She bad the power of turning all objects into stone, and forthwith willed that her brother's hat become a stone monument to the tragedy. The cruel lover was turned to stone where he sat astride his horse at Hestmando. and the giantess herself petrified at Lecko. The two latter objects have dis appeared, but Thorg's hat (Thorghatten) is still the object of many canons pil grimages. St. Louis Republic. ' - A Day In Bed. We are naturally given to condemn and despise the idea of remaining tn bed when our health is good and all our vi tal forces in fair working order. Apart from the matter of our nightly rest, we rarely think of "a day in bed" either as preservative of health or conducive to longevity. Yet 1 am convinced there is much to be said in favor of "a day in bed" now and then, as an aid to health in the middle aged and as a measure tending to prolong life in the old. ; ,T m ueu uie wuuio muscuiar oy a mm is at ease and the wear and tear of the body is reduced to a minimum. The processes of getting rid of waste matters are in abeyance; there is less waste to get rid of. and tnngs, skin and kidneys -have a measure of comparative repose. The nervous system, above all, is soothed and comforted by the "day in bed." Anxieties and worries disappear after the rest, and tbe individual returns to the workaday world refreshed and ren ovated, physically and mentally, in a degree such as the actions of no medi- . cines could have accomplished. In a word, the person who enjoys "a day in bed" is in the position of an en- gine whose tires are banked down and whose energies are recruiting for the re- ; newal of the work of tomorrow.
