IDEAL IN HOUSEKEEPING.
Honored Old Customs and Conditions
Are Passing Away.
A generation ago t.o be all idenl
housekeeper was the chief auubi
tiou of almost every woman , says
the PC01'iu lleruld-'l'I'ullHcripl.
No girl desired a fairer fate than
to be placed at the head ofa hotH\ ( ' .
hold with a good and loving httx-
baud to supply all her wants and
make her the mistress and the
queen of his heart and his home.
In most cases thc girl who started ,
housekeeping hud more 01' less experience .
peril'nee in the art minder the tui
lion of her mother. She loved to
decorate und beautify the house
which was to bc her home during
thc rest of her earthly pilgrimage. } )
'he loved to create delicacies for
her husband and her children , and ,
disguise it as we mar ; , much of the
affection she received was due entirely .
th'ely to her skill as n homemalwl'
\Vlwu her children grew tip ]
around ; her this kind and sympathetic .
tlH'ti mother were the < < chief attractions -
tractions in their world. As they
grew older the tics only grew the
stronger. 'YIH'n they ; acquired
fnmilies of their own the old homestead ! -
stead , with its abulIdauCoe of
good things , still had attractions
for them. The kind old mother
was still their best friend. She
knew nIl the diflh'ulties they had
to encounter in starting homes of
their own , and her advice und sym-
pathy were worth more to them
thap : gold. They looked upon her
as' l 'a sort of venerable goddess ,
and when she finally went away
from thc home circle } she left a ya-
ancy which could never be filled.
But we arc assured with every .
symptom of rejoicing that these
conditions are passing ; that wom.
m have been emancipated ; that in
thc future they " are to be the rival
instead of the helpmate , of man ,
and that they must' combine to enforce .
force their just demands against
the hostility of the male sex. This
is nonsense pine } and simple. It
may be true that there are more
mannish women in this generation .
ion t than there were in the last.
It is unfortunately true that a
larger proportion of the female }
population ! has becn forced to be
lf-supp01'tin < < , hut it is not true
hat t women enjoy the so.cal1l'd
"liberty" which goes with toiling
for r a Jiving.

WAS THIS MAN HONORABLE ?
Tried to Beat Express Company , But
Lost by Tran saction.
Now that the Mary Ann problem -
lem has been
disposed of let me
tell you of an actual case which
came within mJ' knowledge several -
al years ago , says the Brooklyn
iagle ; These were the facts : A
wealth , and close-fisted banker in
a certain Illinois city was Hccue-
omcd t to sending ' ' .
currency bJ' express
press to his e01'r < 'spondcllt hank )
in Chicago. Sonwhow the express
agent got a suspicion that the
banker wais saying expressage by
Bending larger sums than he pretended -
tended , so one day when } the bunker -
er brought in a package } which be
said contained $ , a.ooo the auant
