The lirst was that there is now hardly such a tiling in Aiiiei iea as a lii-h, simple, u:isiKiletl child; to which statement I should oj'ixi.-e III" ohjtviioji that t lu i'e ::ie atleastail-iz. il of thee raie !eii! ;s in tho ono fhort s-tns-t win ro I ha; o:i to dwell.

Had this statement been turned just tho other way it would have seemed more reasonxilile, for surely it is where thero are most nurses and nui c-ries in America at least that one Ifcds the artii'u-ial and self conscious children, while the simpa-st and most genuine are in those households where servants are few or none. This w hole phihw ophy seems to me far less sensible than that of a little loy of my ac juaint jnce, who once made a protot against the w hole race of nurses in these plain Utiiis: 4'2l:inii:ui, I do wish I could lie taken care of by sum body that lives in the front part of the hou-'."

At leiiirth the mother and child partook of a mornin;' nival. A large lunch hamper indicated a long journey I did not observe the mother's choice of fare, but the delicate girl who had so aroiiM-d my sympathies made a heart y(.'j meal of rich cake and pickles.

Material for Ivltclieu Aprons. After trying many diCerent materials for kitchen aprous I have decided that shirtiug gingham is the best. Being about three quarters of a yard wide, one breadth answers very well, thus the time which would be spent in cutting breadths and sewing seams is saved A small plaid of brown and white, with narrow- lines of red to brighten it, ma'icsa pretty apron, which, if wished and dried carefully, will look well a long time, and there i.s i;o doubt about its wearing well. I dislike blue ia an apron for two reasons, V-anivIy: It is apt ia washing to stain tho rubber cf the washing machine and wringer, and a dir-agreeable odor arises when it is ironed. If one w ishes bibs to her aprons, l.ss cf the ginghafn will lie left after cutting, if enough for two, four or any other even numlier of garments be puroiiascd in oue piece. To ascertain the quantity rvXiuired, measure the length necesr-arj' for skirt, allowing for Lent and a little for shrinkage; then measure the distance from shoulder to lelt. This length of material will make two bils, unless the wearer is uncoauuoaly broad shouldered, which must be taken into account in calcu lating the whole quantity; then allow two i aches for each belt, as Oue strip across is r lout the rig t length. Any one after a Ut ile practice can cut the bib to suit ber taste.

Nashua Telegraph. A lifterenco in Di-exit. At 11 dinner and reception a young married bell was in the sulks. She had flounced her self into a chair, and turned her back on her husband, who was angrily red clear over the bald toji of his head. "I'm sure I've got as fine a dress as any body here," she was heard to poutingly say. "Uut you ljk as wooden as a Dutch doll," he blurted out. His criticism was sound if not amiable. The young woman wore much fluiiine.--3 of white skirt, her bodice suggested sheet iron, so sli!V were its outlinesaiid so unyielding its aspect. It was a new thing called the armor waist. It bad no sleeves, and over the shoul ders were merely ribbons, tied us though to hold up tho bodice. Xo woman could be graceful in it. Ii'ear by sat a willowy girl. Her gown wns f:-.h ioncd of thin cloth, which took its folds from each movement of the wearer, like tho garments of the ancient Creeks. The t'ubrie in each fold perfectly adapted itself to the figure, the draeries having uctuully molded themselves to the form of the wearer. Au enwrapping of tho slender waist with a wide, soft sash, added to the charming eii'eet of pliability. A demure air was worn with this gown. New York Sun. The Teacher's Itcsp. mobilities. Is it not the mother's business to know the skill of her child's teacher as well at least as that of tho physician w ho prescribes for his sore throat or tho tailor who measures him for Lis lirst jants? It is only in desper ate cases that we can bring ourselves to pull t ho door bell of a strange doctor and sum mon him to our house. As a rule, he must le known and accredited, even tested, before he receives our confidence. Yet an ignorant or vicious teacher may work immeasurably more harm than any doctor, if we admit that the soul is worth more than the body. We have divine instruction to the cii'ct't that we need not fear those who have no power to Lwl tho soul. An unscrupulous teacher has the power to deform jx-rhaps to destroy both soul and body.

Dressing Well. Since dressing well stands for duly nothing excuses n self respecting person in any walk in life for o.Teiuhug by careless or slovenly attire; and tho employer who allows his help to offend or the mistress who jiermits her servant to go about in soiled garments or unkempt hnir, i.s himself or herself guilty of offense against others rights and nrivilejres. for tlieir prerogatives give them the right to expect and demand clean and orderly habits of dress.

The business of reading newapujicrs for other pi-ople, which was starti.il ia this city in a small way not very long ago, is said to be in a fair way to swamp itself by too raj -id growth.

"Everything liearing on fraud nt elections" 3 the curious order of a city ofiieiul. Artists cud literary men ure the worst. They all want to see everything that is printed about their latest picture or their newest book. About tho time the picture is exhibited, or tho book printed, they send in an order for r.ll tho paragraphs referring to tho work, ami then prolxibly quit work for a week, in order to revel in the e idenee of tho tide of jiopulur ity that they exjiect will roll over them. Of ten there is not a Sjlicitary clipping charged to their account. Many times there are o.ie or two only. 11 tuu picture is a daub or tho book bad, tho paragraphs may run uj into tho hundreds; but statistics on this point are incomplete, as the order is always canceled after a week of this. Political men, and especially congressmen, seem to bo tho steadiest patrons of the insti tution, but they generally mean business ui;d not vanity. Through it they collect mas.-es of statistics ns to some particular interest for which they stand spomxn", or get ev.clc-nce of tho tendency of public sentiment by which they can trim t he ir sails. They all add "Per sonal" to their ord'j;, however. "Himself and the Paciiie Railroads" is one order. A senator wants "Himself and the Chinese question." "Himself and Peru" is the order cf a well known cx-ma3'or, Mayor Francis cf Si. Ixuiis gets lots of c-omplimentry uotiees now 011 the subject ef the convention and St. Louis, and he wants them all.
