Ar Englishman of titlo who Las written a
Ixtik or memoirs, and Is a traveler cf some
repute, sat in Ik-lnionico's restaurant with
tln writer 0110 afternoon, a short time ago,
watching tin; N.mv Yorkers us they drifted in
an. J out of I Lo if-trtiu tiiik or passed on Fifth
a vi-mirt.
"If it is true," ho said, "that the Spanish
make tlio licit of mothers, then the Ameri
cans make Iheln-st fathers. A I'Yeiichman
when he in.ii i k takes his wife into Lis Mmp
with him, uiil yrudually pre sses his children
into servieo as they arrive at a suitable ago.
An Kiilisliman forces his wifa to do the
housework anil attend to tho heavier dutio.9
of the family, hj that he may save tho serv
ant':; hire, liut tho very instant an Ameri
can finds himse lf in a position to twist hi"
funds to koiiio account, ho M-ts his wife upas
a l.idy at oin-e. lie puts her into a fashion
aMo iMiardin house, while ho has to sleep in
tho store, spends an absurd amount of money
on her, und forces her up ahovo Lis level
with an ussiduily that is simply amazing-.
"Tha same sentiment irvades all grades
of New York society. At tho first of tho
Patriarchs' halls last season, mul theso as
semblies aro, I Uli.jvc, acknowlr.ilged to le
absolutely exclusive, ami to con ha in all that
is best of New York society, I stood near tho
door with an attache, of our legation and
watched tho jx-oplo stream in. I have seen
many throngs of U-iuitiful woimni, but never
rne that equaled tiiat. Thero seemed to bo
literally no end to tho siecime ns of female
loveliness. Hut tho men who accompanied
the women hail neither tho rol ust and pow
t rful physique of E.-iglish, and Germans, and
Russians, uor tho look of reimno and leisure
which f ives' dignity to tho men of Franco,
Italy and Spain, though they are often ex
ceedingly small of st ature. Many of tho
older men at tho I'atviarchs' lall that night
wero known to mo .y reputation. Most of
their sons aro in bns'.ness or professional life.
Tho fathers were worn out, and the difference
between the. sons and tho daughters of tho
Mime family was enough to cause almost any
body to stop rind rei'ect. Tho girls were mag
nitieont looking ere; it u;vs, high breil, straight,
Kt: ony and beautiful. They slept every day
till noon or lulor, with u brisk jog on
thoroughbred la .rsi , pli-cd tennis and walked
or drove in tho op n air, had a siesta in tha
afternoon, and wcrj sent forth to a ball or
dinner at niLt, every nerve and every force
caret uily nurtured and every muscle, well
trained.
"The brclhers of those girls are forced to
leao their beil after four or five Lours of
feverish sleep, rush down town and drive
away at their professional tr business labors
until it is time to rush homo for dinner.
Down town their meals nrt bolted, and thoy
naturaily revert to stimulants for their work.
"In the spring tho girls are taken for an
ocean voyage or a trip on the continent.
After three or four months they conic back
to America and sin nd a few weeks at New
port. From there they go to tho bracing air
of tho Berkshire hills, to Lenox, Car Harbor
or Tuxedo, returning to New York in time
for tho holidays and the spring gayeties.
Everywhere thoy have outdoor life yacht
ing, tennis, horsebac k exercise, nourishing
food ami the best f attendance. All the
time their brothers have been driving away
in hot offices and through all sorts of weather,
to gain the wherewithal.
"The llii:isict forecast will toll the result
of this. I saw the result that night at the
Patriarchs' ball, and I see it now in men and
women who come in here, and who aro pass
ing on Fifth avci'uo. The men are small,
shriveled and wearied, though still in their
ttventies; the girls who swing easily at their
sides are taller, stronger, fresher and hand
somer in every point than their brothers.
They top them in weight, and probably in
actual muscular strength."
How lo 15o I'liotoKrapHed.
London has an ar.t.xxutic photographer,
anil his somewhat high handed treatment of
his pat runs is tolerated because his quick eye
for effect, his skill in posing tho subjects, and
the exquisite finish and truthfulness place
hi::i far above many j-ortrait painters. IIu
charges are enormous, and engagements liavo
to be made mouths ahead, but. tho result ii
very satisfactory. In the first place there is
no climbing of stairs to mount above a shop
on a business street, a.-; there is here. One
drives to a handsome private house. A gor
peous and condescending: servant opens the
door. No less gorgeous and even more con
descending is the j-o;ing woman in charge of
tli.? reception room. This young ierson shows
the influence of art;."tic environment and
wears a long ( Jobclin blue gown of soft cash
mere with pu:?ed sUvves.
A powdered footman announces the artist,
Mr. Mendelssohn, lie comes at last.- Haught
ier and more condescending than any of his
haughty household, he makes an engagement
with you and tells what sort of gown 3-ou
should wear when you come to sit, or, if this
is the fulfillment of an engagement, he leads
tho way through a conservatory and finally
into the studio. He does not like seated
women; he almost invariably poses them
Standing. "Certainly," ho says, "a woman's
form is as much a part of her beauty as is
fcer face. Why should the best effect of it be
Ios. by doubling her up?"' He makes them
stand against a wall or a curtain with their
heads well up, and e ve n if they are not tall
and slim he generally succeeds iu making
them look so. He doesn't like bonnets,
either, and rarely takes a woman iu one. Ho
insists upon soma simple arrangement of tho
hair and very few jewels. After the sitting
is over one finds a little dsessing room fitted
with every feminine luxury and a maid in
attendance. London Letter.
Hat Chests in Fashion.
It is growing, so says a woman who has a
private ladies' gy.nnasiuTii, the fashion to l-e
flat chested. This woman says that the groat
difficulty sha finds in her profession is that
most of tho young women who are sent to
her by doctors for a course in gymnastics to
cure some disorder, utterly refuse to take oil
their stays, and she will not let them practico
in them. So matters are pretty much at a
standstill. "Women come to me," sho says,
'who have not drawn an unfettered breath
for years. Perfectly sound girls of 20 are
very rare," she continued, "and they are not,
as a rule, developed sufficiently. Flat chested
women are so much in the majority that it
has lecome fashionable to bo so, and young
girls who are just grow ing up lace themselves
iu with corsets and flatten themselves down
with tight bodices until it is absolutely im
possible they shall obtain their normal de
velopment. The result is not pretty, but
they think it is, and that amounts to tho
eaiiin thin. Tbcy aro so afraid of Lroaden
ing and developing the chest that, though
they will walk as much as you please, they
persistently decline oil ciercisc of the upper
part of the body."
TLatkeray said of tho Jew 1 oru girl in
1550, and the description will eerVd well
enough tixlny: "Tho womn hera in New
York, almost without exception, are as lean
w.s greyhounds, and dressed magnificently in
tin fashions of tho better i-las of Parisian
m-trc-v-ies." All tho late dress-M from I'arb
'how a determination to make tho waist ap-V-ear

To Remove Wrinkle.
A little whilo ago I wroto something about
a now discovery recently added to the phar
inacopo ia by a Boston expert in chemical sci-
cneo 1 have received so many letters sinco
containing inquiries as to the nature of this
word fat and tho manni'r in which it may lo
obta.'iioil that I supiso I may us well an
tv.i r i lifin 111 print. Ihostiifi is not a pro
prietary remedy. It is merely a substanco
derived from tho wool ef sheep by steeping
tho clipping in LoL alcohol. Isy this process
a yellow grease is precipitated, chemically
identical with an element fou:; d in the hu
man bilo and in e-e-rtain vegetah les, such as
j was and beans. Tho grease has one very je
cuhar property. When applied with rubbing
it passes directly through tho skin, and 111
this way acts as a nutrient to tho fatty tissues
Ix'iuath. Thus it has tho ulfect of smoothing
out tho wrinkles produced by the attenuation
of three tissues which come with age. An
antiquated relative of mine has removed
from her temples tho unwclcomo footprints
of a thousand figurative crows by six weeks'
use, of this marvelous unguent.
Likewise, when nibbed upon tho scalp, it
oreveiits lialdne'S!!, bv supplying to 1 he hair
an clement of its grow th, the lack of which
aus ps it to fall out. It is useful for a baso
for ointments, the active ingredients of which
it conveys through the cuticle. To maniac
turo it in largo quantities is enormously ei-
IKiisive, but it may be obtained at retail
from the big ajiotheearies at a small prie-e.
Fortunately but few people know of it as yet.
Nevertheless it was known to tho ancients
:;,fXX) years ago. Jjt me add a warning. If
you buy it, get it pure and not in combina
tion with some patent mixture. If necessary,
gather your wool and boil it down for your
self. Thus you may secure an artificial per
petuation of youth. Boston Cor. Kansas

TI10 Wife of a Farmer.
A pleasanter way of spending a fortnight's
vacation cannot e'asily bo found than the
taking of a earriago drivo along tho valleys
r.ml over tho hills of New Hampshire aud
Vermont. Tho scenery is charming, tho
roads aro generally good, and one can almost
always find a comfortable inn for the night.
Hut thero is one sad drawback to the enjoy
ment of tho trip for a jcrson of any sensi
bility. Ho cannot fail to bo struck by tho
weary and often hopeless faces of the women
in many farm houses. The husband looks
stro ng, vigorous, capablo of rr.uch enjoyment
of life, whilo the wife appears weak, fagged,
tired of existence. Perhaps you find that
noon has overtaken j-ou in soir.o village
which has no place of public entertainment,
and you must apply at a farmhouse for din
ner. Very likviy you will get a good meal
after some delay, but very likely also your
conscience will r.'T)roac J"011 when you see
the overworked woman, whose load your
unoxiected appearance has made a little
heavier.
The truth is that the farmer too often
treats his wif 3 as a L cast of burden, and even
sometimes fails to be.- tow upon her the care
which ho would give a valuable animal.
Everywhere there are brawny "hired men"
who might relievo her of heavy drudgery;
they will be found sitting idio while sho
drags through her never ending round of
duties. It is but a step from neglect to
abuse, and nwny a farmer, almost beforo he
knows it, has leen guilty of "intolerable
severity." Frank Leslie's.
The Girls Who Marry.
"I always read the wedding notices in the
papers," said a Louisville citizen, "and I am
surprised to observe w hat a proportion of
tho brides are working girls. I uo not use
the term 'working girls' in its commonly ac
cepted sense, namely, that of girls who work
in a factory, but I include all those who
earn their own living, whether it be by
school teaching, dressmaking, working a
tyjje writer or tho numerous other occupa
tions wliich are now open to the feminine
sex. According to my observation these
girls marr3' clerks, young doctors and law
yers, railroad men and others, many of
whom subsequently reach tho greatest heights
in business or the professions. Many well to
elo young men who have either inherited or
already accumulated something of a com
petency marry girls who aro accustomed to
work."
"Whit conclusion, then, do you deduce
from your observationsT'
"My conclusion is that tho average young
man of the ixriod is a much more sensible
creature than wo give him credit for being,
lie has his fun with the society girls and en
joys himself, but when the time comes to se
lect a wife, he chooses her like Mrs. Primrose
ditl her wedding gown not for gloss and
fineness of finish, but for ejualities that last.
Thus the society girl gets left. All our old
maids were one-o leaders in society. The
youug men thought they were not equal to
tho task of supporting these maidens, or tho
latter themselves were too high toned to ac
cept any but a millionaire, and hence they
still prefix 'Miss' to their names." Louisville
Courier-Journal.
Tho Sanitary Woman.
Tho sanitary woman is abroad; no place is
sacred to her, and no human being is free
from her fads. She tests the air wo breathe,
the e-lothes we wear, tho friends we have, and
tradition she scorns as she eloes dust. I hate
the sanitary woman. I arn perfectly willing
to live on, as did my grandmothers, without
a knowledge of sanitary blessings. In fact, I
am rather given to believe that they are not
blessings. She is the most uncomfortable
Person of anv that can be imagined. On her
arrival in your house she carefully inspects
the plumbing, sho criticises the food, unless
it belongs to the special health variety that
she upholds. She tries to convince you that
you are not clothed right and she is, and the
fact that she looks a guy and 3-ou don't only
athls to her indignation, and nine times out !
of ten. unless she is very w ell bred and really j
slightly insane, she manages to call you a j
frivolous female. It is a curious thing, but
in this world men, unless they aro cranks
and then, of course, they are not men like
frivolous females. "Bab" in New York Star.
Poison to Canned Food.
No portion of a can's contents should re
main in it after opening. Admission of air
rapidly changes sound goods into spoiled
slulT, developing acetic putrefaction, and
poisonous stannous hydrate takes the place of
harmless tin.
If alarming symptoms should como on
after eating, such as colicky abdominal pains,
vomiting, diarrhoea and great depression, and
nil v. ho were at the table aro attacked alike,
it is fair to presnma that they are poisoned
by some articlo of food. While a messenger
in going for tho doctor ive to each person
who has not vomited freely an emetic cf
warm water alone or with a teospoonful of
mustard etirred into half a tumblerful, and
afterward administer sweet oil or white of
egg copiously. It is not likely that any such
cases w ill prove fatal, but the hymptom are
alurmiiig enough, even from a small quaritit
of this jteilson. William F. Hutchinson,
M. D., in American Magazine.
I'rettjr Wall Ornaments.
One of tho prettii'st wall ornaments iin
nginabli Las for a foundation tho antique
pulm !eaf fan, which supports a southern tan
p!a of Spanish moss, rii-e, millet and cotton
bails, tied in a carelessly graceful fashion
w ith a bow of wiiite ribbon. Tho moss should
be spread to cover tho fun almost com pletely,
forming a Kcft background for tho clustered
trifles.
A wexxlen plate cuin Iteeovered with the flat
gray moss found on old stones and fences.
Attach it with glue, and when perfectly dry
glue on a little irregular twig, putting bits of
moss on this also, and when tho twig is firmly
fastened mount a bird or bird's nest with
e-ggs, and you have a pretty placquo for tho
wall, which can l varied to suit any ca
price or condition. If tho wall is dark place
a bit of bright drarx?ry behind tho placque.

Daliy's Klght to Truth.
Another point of grave importance
K'lby'a right to truth. It is not necessary to
tell a e-hild that a sweet thing is "nasty" or
a harmless action naughty to insure obedi
enco. Why should a mother coinij out for
hours tell her child she will le back soon, or
in order to bring him to obedience threaten
things which she never moans to perforin
things which sho could not do? Why shoul
she tell tha falsehoods so common to tho nur
sery of the "blackman to carry tho baby off,
tho "big bear" to eat him, or even tho more
harmless "all gone" and "no more" when
there is more? Children are net easily de
ceived. Thoy find out tho lio and learn to
lie themselves, and then aro whipped for do
ing it. Oh, of all the baby's rights tho most
sacred ono is truth. Cor. Good Housekeep

School for Married Women.
I sometimes think I would like to open
school for the education of married women
teach them how to keep their husbands.
think American women, more than any
others in tho world, need this school. Tho
English woman, when sho keeps her husband
does it because sho is a fine animal; tho
French woman is clever enough to combino
tho material and intellectual, but the Amen
can woman, having been petted until sho is
quite spoiled, thinks the man, onco gained, is
always owned, and does not believe tho
coquettish wiles used by the maiden at all
necessary for the wifo. Poor little donkey
What a hard lesson she has to learn, or else
what a hard life thero is before her. "Bab"

Effects of Early Training.
A mother vhoso daughter early showed
ciisjiosition to run tho sewing machine per-
mitteel her to do so when tho ltttlo thing
could barely reach the treadles with her tip
toes. At worst the mischief she might do
could bo easily repaired. She provided her
with dolls and patterns for dolls' clothes, and
taught her how to cut them out and em
broider and make them. That little girl,
now grown, earns an ample livelihood by her
skill as a seamstress, and can't remember the
time when she felt awkward with the needle
or the machine.
An Instructive Lesson.
It would be an interesting and instructive
lesson if, in a community of married people
representing various social grades, we could
request tho individuals, both husbands and
wives, to inform us clearly and truthfully of
tho reasons which induced them to select
their res)ective partners for life. It wciuld
be found in many instances the most insig
nificant trifles had influenced many of them
in this most dedicate matter. New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
"Anything is the thing to use," said a lead
ing uecorator to Jennie June a lew ua3s
since; "anything that looks well, from a Da
rrhestan rug or India shawl to a length of 17-
cent blue denim." So it is. A woman need
only have courage, cultivate the ability to
make proper combinations, find out wdiat
materials are to be had, and sho may venture
without fear of mistake or criticism.
M. Louise Thomas and Elsie P. Bucking
ham are two women of business. The first is
one of the most successful bee raisers in the
country, and it is said that her bees produce
10,000 pounds of honey yearly. The other is
the successful manager of a fruit farm of
several hundred acres in California and ad
vises all women who can to take up this line
of business.
Tho following prescription is excellent in
cases of lameness from overwork or in cases
of a slight strain of tho back: Two ounces of
alcohol, two ounces of hartshorn, two table
spoonfuls of rock salt (table salt will do).
Put all tho ingredients into a quart bottle,
fill with raiu water. Apply, rubbing vigor-ouslj-
with the palm of tho hand.
The girls in the department of manual
training at the St. Paul high school have
demonstrated that they can saw a board as
well as a man can. Thirty-six of them gave
an exhibition of their skill to an admiring
audience, and they also drove countless nails
without onco hammering their thumbs.
If you ever endured the agony of a felon,
you will appreciate the fact that it "can bo
cured by woolen smoke. Place tho woolen
rags under an inverted flower pot, and put
cools upon them, or set them on fire some
thcr way, then hold the felon over the
smoke, and it will extract all the pain.
A well known physician says that a boil
should not be allowed to progress if it can be
stopped at the outset, as tho system is more
likely to be poisoned than relieved by tho
gathering matter. The boil should be painted
with iodine, and will not amount to anything
if taken in tho first stage.
All the training schools for nurses in Phila
delphia are free. This is ono profession for
women that is not overcrowded, and where
women can earn good wages. The chief
qualifications aro good health, good temper,
general intelligence, and a fair common
school education.
To cere warts, take an Irish potato and cut
a piece off the end and rub on the wart two
or three times a day, cutting a slice from the
potato each tj;no used. Very of ten one po
tato is sufficient for the cure.
In the healing of burns and scalds, where
there is danger of contracting scars, rub tho
new skin several times a day with good sweet
oiL Persist in this rubbing until tho skin is
soft and flexible.
Equal parts of ammonia and turpentine

THE LEGS OF SPRINT RUNNERS.
Physical Charaetei-islien Which Have Hccii
Noted A Proles'iloiml Ituuiier.
o feel prepared to maintain that rela
tively long limbs wi;h a short lxly, full
chest and small Ixmes will characterize tb
typical short distance runner wherever he
may be found. Short races (IU), XX'O and 440
yards) are often won by a fuw inches, and
tho value of an inch or two in a runnel
stride is of the greatest importune', for, othei
qualifications being equal, this man is bound
to be lirst at the goal.
T 1 tl . -.1 1 .1 . .
1 ne sniaii gnaii or tne le'gs or runners is
often mystifying. From tho girth of u
musclo we got a correct idea of its vol 11 mi
or transverse diameters, but learn little 01
its length and tho extent of its contractile
liUrs. Whereas it is tho length of tin
muscle, and not the thickness, that is of si;.
niue-auco 10 snort distance runners. Uivcn
the physiological fact that a muscle can c-on
tract one-third of its length, it will readily be
seen that tho longer tho muscle the create!
will bo tho movement of the part to which it
is aiiaenea. 10 u:e runner 1110 ciosired move
ment is in tho elevation of tha thigh and tin
extension and inflexion of the leg and foot.
An instantaneous photograph of sprint run
ners bhows that the range in the move
ment of tho limbs is very extensive the
stride of a fast walker lieing from four to six
let-t, ana man or a last runner lromsix to
eight feet.
If the stature is short, it is necessary for
tho runner to get a greater elevation from
the ground at each step in erdor to maintain
a long stride. When this is done a relatively
long lower leg is or tho greatest advantage.
tins lact is admirably brought out in t In
case of Myers, the professional runner. With
a height of 5 feet Tj.. inches, which is a little
below the mean or 50 per cent, class, he hat
a length of low or leg which corresixjnds to a
man over 5 feet 10 inches in height, a length
of thigh usually found in men of 5 feet i;
inches, whilo tho sitting height is tho same as
that which makes up tho stature of men of f.
feet 4 inches. D. A. Sargent, M. D., inScrib-

"A hundred miles out of Northern Maine.'"
"How?"
"On my feet."
"What, and lugged those boots? '
"Yes, sir-e-e."
"How much do you weigh without your

him as gently as he could; but tho iron en

An Old San Francisco Coin.
A coin that is much sought after by numis
matists was shown to a reporter the other
morning. It is not only remarkable for its
scarcity, but for its being a relic of the days
of '49. The coin is a half eagle and there are
very few of them in existence. The market
value of the coin is said to be 5. On the
face of the coin is the old style American
eagle surrounded by the words: "California
gold without alloy." On the reverse side
aro the words: "Full weight of half eagle."
Twenty-two stars line the inner circle of the
above words and inside the inner circle at the
top are the letters "N. G. and N." Across the
diameter of the inner circle is the date "1840,"
and below this is the name "San Francisco."
The eelges are not milled. The coin is light
yellow in color and resembles a brass check'
but is heavier than a half eagle of the present
day. New York Evening Sun.
