Boston Globe. An.y otio tainiliar with
Ami-i loan noy-ls would bo apt to think
Iroin the description of American Indies
that they were mere hnttcrllies when
youiif ; and invalid- after nmrnaire. Bos
ton ladius have bucn wnlelj represented
as till head and no heart , living in tin at-
inosphe.ro ot metaphysical ab-lraetions
nnil utt'-ily inilittuit to discharge the do
mestic duties of life. Taking sonic such
view as this , a Canadian writer some time
since BDoke of tliein us "marry ing at 18 ,
faded at0 , toothless nt I ) . " ) , hideous at 30 ,
alternately passing tlicir linns between
their rookmechairs and their beds , la/y ,
listless , up and down like an old-fashioned
boan-nolc. Are these thu things to suckle
heroes ? " Tii c late war of thu rebellion
is a sufficient answer to this question.
The ladie.s of both contending parties
sent to the war as gallant an array , both
olliceis and privates -men wlio had
been nurtured with as- much care as the
11103 * relined aristocrats of Kurope an
over dtow a sabrcon any"strickun-lield. "
It is : peculiarity of the Kn lish-spuak-
inj ; races , and eijnally so of the Teutonic
races , that they nave never debased their
blood by miiiliiir } } with inferior races ,
inconsequence of which Americans are
of as pure blood as their English , Scotch ,
Irish , or ( iurman ancostois Because a
man has been born in China it docs not
follow that ho must bo a Mongolian , or
bi'caii-o he has been born in America
that 1m is an Indian. Kacc , not locality ,
determines qualities of character. Cli
mate , of course , has an inllucnco on the
body , but the Kiifjli'-li-speaking races in
nil parts of thu world and tlwy are ram
blint ; everywhere maintain their native
characteristics. Many ladies of rank in
each of the three Kingdoms from which
tnis country has been so largely stocked
* hate been distinguished tor their
ft ability in the management of large
households , have been as familiar with
the details of thu kitchen as of a draw
ing-room. 'J ho same is > true of the high
born dames of the Fatherland. Such cases
have bcc'i placed by some writers in con
trast with the hotels life of sonic of our
American parvenus. The hotel parvenus ,
however , are but a small fraction of the
American people. If any pcison will
take the pains to find out 'how wealthy
American ladies who keep house mamigu
their establishments , they will soon per
ceive the same economy and order , and
the same talent for managing family af
fairs for which their inico-stors across the
sea have boon distinguished.
Recently the Transcript gave a brief
sketch of the way a Boston lady with a
largo family managed her own house
hold. She has a bus-band , some seven or
eight robust children , keeps a butler and
coven female domestics , and superintends
the whole without the aid of a house
keeper Sim never asks a .servant what
she wants ; she supplies at stated times to
each all that is required in his or her de
partment. anil keeps the run of every
thing in tiie house from the most valua
ble articles down to the waste-paper nec
essary to light the lire Her husband is
not a gentleman of great wealth , but is
highly esteemed for his intellectual at
tainments and upright life. He furnishes
her with all the money she requiies , anil
never asks how it is to bo usnl. It is not ,
therefore , mere economy that governs
his wife , nut the love of [ system. We
know another lady of this same capable
type , who not only manages a large fam
ily , but superintends a benevolent insti
tution and keeps the run of millions ol
property. As a rule , tlm ladies of out
well-to do families arc healthy , sensible ,
and free from atVectation ; oven those whc
take an interest in the various isms ol
the day , or are traveling in Kuropo , re
tain a .strong love of homo and its do
mestic virtues , and utter a few years settle
tlo down and become exemplary heads o
households. In the everyday walks 01
life our ladio.i are al o models ; they art
first in supporting our churches anil ii
their labors in behalf of those less fortu
nalo than themselves , and vyo bnliovo tha
the ladies of our laboring peoplo-
"overy woman is a lady by right of hoi
so.aro better educated , better clothed
and bettor mainlined than their sisters n
Kuropo. Our novelists , therefore , if thoi
wisli to give a fair delineation of A men
can ladies , and not merely to describe !
few bn'.terllios , who have become rich hi
accident , as types of the whole , wonli
do well to take a closer view of ilium , si
as to do them justice.

There is a funny anecdote going th
rounds about KatoSanborn and Mrs. Ul
Hull , who are both staying on the Isle o
Shoals , Celia Thaxter's homo , says
writer in the Now Yoik World. Th
three ladies were whiling away the aftoi
noon hours on thu pia//u with ligh
metaphysical and philosophical discus
slon , such as is suited to the unbondiiij
of the minds of literary women ilurin
the relaxation of the summer vacation
To illustrate some point Mr.5. Ulu Hill
produced a small book in which she sot
down any thought that impresses he
during her reading. S'.io ' read from i
buyeral warnings , among them this soi
tonco"Don't inflict your headache o
other people. " Miss Sanborn found th !
"Is that from ' ' '
commonplace. 'Don't !
she inquired , frivolously. "That sei
tcnco,1' ' replied Mrs. Ole Hull , looking j
her over tno top of tlio book with call
contempt , "is trom Knletetus. " Tableai

Tcacli the Girls Cooking anil House *
work.
New Of loans States- Now that the
ranks of independent sell supporting
women are being constantly inereaseil ,
not only in localities specialty noted for
nrogie.ssivu spirit but throughout the
length and bredthof ourown sunny land ,
could not the representative women of
our city take hold of this matter and
crush out all fal o ideas of Ignorance ami
false pridebyc-jtablishmgclassesin which
not only young women could bo tought
to cook and clean up a house , but the
housekeepers themselves bo qualified to
superintend every department of the
homo. Soniplhing elto must bo tonglit
besides routine work , and that is that all
work is honorable , and it should be a
matter of profound gratification and joy
to every good woman whenever a liehl is
opened in winch she can become self-
supporting. In whatever position a
woman finds herself , siie owes it to her
own womanhood faithfully to discharge
her duties , ami .she will always command
the sincere rosncct which is due her.
Nations were not born in a day , and
the problem of female employment
would not seem so difiictilt if parents had
uniformly treated theirgirls precisely as
they did their boys. Then-fore it w ill take a
lonir time to eradicate ideas that luuc
sprung from a fajio system of education.
In days gone by it would have takin a
very far-seeing , bravo and independent
mail and woman who , after having made
a study of thu natural bent of mind of
their bojs and girls , would have secured
a development of their peculiar talents
while still > oung. A man never thinks
of rearing his son with the idea that work
is degrading , even though lie is able to
support him in idleness , anil why in this
ago and generation , especially" in the
south , with the impoverished condition of
a majority of our very be > t people , could
not some method of teaching be applied
that would render both sexes self-suppor
ting ? Lot the girls who do not possess
the sort of brains to make dressmakers ,
shop-girls , milliners , artists and book
keepers , turn their attention to cooking
and housework. I know jome women
who are born housewives , cooks and
nurses , and many of them have made
complete misfits of their entire lives try
ing to do soinetl > ing'linbrent from what
nature intended. It is quite time we all
reali/.o that nothing nselul is vulgar , or
undignified , and , if cooking is vulgar , M >
is eating ; and , if hou-i-work is degrading ,
cleanliness is a vice. The old saying-
"Heaven sunds us good meat , but the
devil sends cooks , would not find so
ready an echo in the hearts of the major
ity of housekeepers if the training in the
homely duties of cooking were considered
an essential part of a irirl's education ami
one that would very likely , some day or
oilier , prove its worth to every woman in
a creator or los.scr degree.
Let the girl of the period learn by all
moans those things , say I. Yes , more , I
say when she does learn she will bo mas
ter of the situation and will hold the bal
ance of power in her hands over after
wards , bo she mistress or maid It will
not prevent her indulging in little whims
and fancies in other Jircctions ; on the
contrary , it will place the moans in her
power to secure them. Aside from the
protection atl'ordcil her of living in a re-
snoctablo family and being surrounded
by good influences , she would not have
to wear good clothes every day , b ing
simply rcmdrcd to look neat and trim
while on duty , and she would beat no
expense for b'oard and washing and bo
freed from incurring other oxponsei
workinsrwomen have In order to mam-
tain their position. She could .save
moro money in a week than the fac
tory or workshop girl could in a mouth ,
and have better health , and her chances
of getting married are just as good , if
not better , for wlio could bo better pre
pared for the position of housekeeper ot
her own home than one who had served
such an apprenticeship * The men all

A Word to Mother * ) ,
rhiladclphin Star. Just a word to
mothers. Have jou daughters ? If you
have , does not every day's experience , as
recorded in the daily papers , in regard to
the temptations anil dangers that bo ot
young girls appeal to you in the inot
solemn and impressive manner to keep a
close and morn tender watch over those
dear cirls of yours ? No doubt they are
innocent and good. Keep them so by
separating them as far as possible from
the many evil inllnoncp that beet t'-uin '
If they must go out in the evening see to
it that they do so only under proper guar
"
dianship. Be more like the mothers of
Franco in that particular. Do no permit
them to stray into the park or public
squares or prompnate the public * streets
with no other protection than tlicir own
innocence. This is a time when such
strolls and such promenades are always
fraught with mischief. The trirls may
escape all tlio snares designing men may
lay for entrapping them , and then again
they may not. l-ull of life and fond of
fun , they are too apt to be d astray
without the slightest intention on their
part to do anything wrong. How many
mothers to day are lamontingtlieir worse
than folly their almost criminal neglect
in peimittmg their girls to take even
ing walks with perhaps no other com
panions tlrui girls of their own age.
When away from the loving guardian
ship of their parents and the sanctifying
influences of home , they are too apt to
forget how narrow is the space that sep
arates them from danger and degrada
tion. Newark has recently founished a
nuinbor of startling warnings , which
should be taken home to the heart of
every mother. If you would keep them
safe yon MUM no hesitate to throw around
them not merely the * > acicd influences of
your homo , but you must have tho-c iu-
tlucucos accompany them everywlieic.
