Shapcly's Address Before the Union Philosophical Society of Dkhson Ooilcgc. A Practical Paper for Practical Girls. It is fast becoming the thing lor girls to have something to do! Education nowadays seems to be asking itself whether its work is done before giving the girls a knowledge of something that shall be of practical benefit?some* thing they can turn their hands to and earn money by, no matter whether their fathers be worth fifty thousand dollars or 50 cents. Girls are soon going to realize that society will ere long ask of them : "What can you do ?" aud "If you can do some? thing, can you do it well?" When I use the word "society" I do not refer to the fashionable world of gaiety and thoughtlessness and dress; but I mean thoughtful, mature, wise, Useful people, whose hands or whose minds are carrying on the best work of this coun try. I The more I look about me, even now, I am surprised to notice the rapid strides of this movement and the favor with which it is being received, and to know how many are educating themselves, or have already done so, for a business life of some kind. Here and there on every -hand we meet with young women, and older ones, who are supporting themselves, and perhaps some dear one-beside. A yonng friend of mine recently joined a circle of the "King's Daughters" be? longing to a large and prosperous chnrch in a central location of Brooklyn. One evening she was present at a meeting. To her surprise she found that she herself, with one exception, was the only one of the seventeen girls attending the meeting who was not employed during the day. . ? A young lady of education, ? whom I have reason to know can be abundantly supported by her father, chooses to go day by day to her office work in New York, and realizes therefrom a nice in? come. A cultivated lady of my acquaintance, after years spent iu perfecting her voice, is now laying extensive plans for teaching vocal music in one of our large cities. A friend to whom I am greatly in? debted is making mach money and many friends by her skill as trained nurse. Everywhere now we find the girls are waking tip to this practical question: "How shall I fit myself to earn my own living ?" Happy will it be for such an one if while honestly intending to fit 'herself for the work is yet able to be supported until that object is reached. She is wise, who having a home and some money at hand, can devote her time and the money necessary, if in her case anything more than time is necessary to fitting.herself thoroughly in some one thing for future practical work. It. need not take much money nor a great amount of. time,, but ic will take some of one or both to become skilled !p anything, even the most simple. For skilled work is going to be the test. A young lady desiring to learn railli ' nery thought she could accomplish this by taking a short series of lessons, so letting the time paaa till necessity was upon her she applied nt a millinery establishment for a situation. She was told that this method of learning the business was not [sufficient, and that she would not be re? ceived in first nor second hand houses ex? cept after regular applications to learn? ing the requirements of the work in detail. This requires six months. Now 'if a young girlTwhile yet at home in her father's, house will go to learn, this busi? ness in the regular way, she can be certain of gaining a practical knowledge I which she will know she can turn to I account at a good and rapidly increasing salary. A gentleman was talking to me the other day who has charge of a silk neck? wear house. To my remark that I thought it would not be a tedious task to one of taste to make a s ilk tie correctly, he said he "would not give work to any one if she did not come there, and, under super vision, work every day for three weeks, and yet having that amount of instruction it was not likely the person could finish the work acceptably before some three months had given her time to become ex? perienced in the business." So you see, no matter how simple the business, time is required to perfect one's self. Experi? ence tells. Stenography and typewriting, one or both, are popular and certain ways of making money for ladies. Here some money as well as some time is needful to learn the art. The first thing to be desired in persons planning to earn their own living, or to earn money for some other purpose, is the ambition to carry out what they propose to do. Not like an acquaintance of mine, who is willing to content herself in idleness, while hec father from small earnings pays her board and gives her just enough to clothe herself in a very plain way. In? stead of perfecting herself in something while the opportunity of being taken care of lasts, she is willing to fritter away her time, learning nothing useful, nothing practical, and apparently planning for nothing but to be supported some day by a husband. If she would now by patient, plodding effort to learn some one tbing well, when the time comes to depend upon herself she will be able to do something that will be of more use to her than would be the support of tbe average husband of ineffi? cient girls. Let a young girl fired with ambition to learn perfectly some trade, some art, some useful accomplishment, or some line of business, begin at once and use faithfully her time and some mouey, if need be, io learning the thing chosen, as I her taste or circumstances may decide for her, and she will notonly lay a foundation for money making, but become more self reliant and independent, and at the tame time receive an increased amount of reFpect and attention from those about her. Begin now while you have the oppor? tunity to devote your attention to the thing you are going to learn. Do not wait until you are obliged to do some? thing, and then find yourself at sea need? ing money, and yet not able to control any situation worth having. Take time by, the forelock, so that you can be mistress of the emergency when it shall come.?If, T? Conklin in Cht islian at I Wort Thts Is About Eggs. A man busily engaged in holding eggs up before the candle attracted the atten? tion of a reporter in Third avenue, near Forty-seventh street, the other eveoibg. An interview waa the result and here it w: "What ate you doing?" "Candling eggti. You see, I pick up each egg and hold it before the candle. The light Bhines through it. I can see at a glance whether it is cracked or speckled or spoiled. If it is cracked, I set it aside to be sold at a low price. Bakers and confectioners and some prudent families buy cracked eggs, and they areas good as any eggs not cracked, but they must be used within twenty four hours." "Is that not an old fashioned way ot testing eggs ?" "Yes; but experience proves it to be the best, and it is quick. An expert can handle 30,000 eggs a day. It has been tried to test eggs by water. A good egg will sink and a bad egg will float, but you cannot And out a speckled egg that way." "What makes spleckled eggs?" "Lying in one position. An egg should not be left many days in one position. If an egg is turned every day it will keep a long' time.: An experiment was once tried by D. H. Dennis, president of the Ducb.es County Creamery, as to how long an egg can be kept good. He kept one on bia desk nine months, and turned it every day, and kept it good." "How long are the best eggs kept before they get upon tne tables of the best hotels ?" "It takes about four days, because they are bought in bulk in the country, and must be carefully assorted before being ! placed on. the market." "How are imported eggs kept from spoiling on a voyage." "They are carefully watched and turned. They come in cases easy to han? dle, and an expert soon learns to handle them quickly. It adds about a quarter of a cent a dozen to the cost, but we can pay that and the freight and yet sell the eggs that come from France and Germany cheaper than we can sell Western eggs and some think they are better. We can get them here in about twelve days from France. England also get* many eggs from Germany and France."?N. Y.Sun. Poultry Pointers. The first desideratum In winter Ib warmth. A small hen will lay as large eggs as will a heavy ben, and requires less room. Endeavor to keep hens instead of pullets, as the eggs will then be more uniform. Tbe non-sitting breeds will lay as well in winter as the. sitters if they are kept warm and comfortable. Never use stale eggs for nest eggs. Nest-egg gourds are best. A single stale egg many ruin your reputation. Never ship an egg that is dirty or in any manner soiled. The appearance is a prime factor in the-sale of any article. A flock may be composed of some of the beBt layers to be found, yet tbe average number of egga secured may be low. Do not construct a poultry-house for your own convenience. Tie poultry house should be built with| a view of promoting the comfort of the fowls, and keeping them in a proper condition for laying. Birds always prefer the open air. They do not favor remaining indoors, no matter how clean and bright the poultry house may be. The non-sitting breeds are Leghorns, Hamburgs, Red Caps, Minorcas, Black Spanish, Polish, Houdaus, Creveceurs and La Fleches. Economy iis always commendable. Economy in constructing a poultry house means that you should secure the greatest space on the floor at the 1 eaat cost. When:egg productii^t^alone is. your object you need no male?... The hens will lay as well without them (sometimes better), and the eggs will keep three times as long. If a hen lays one egg a week she will pay all expenses of keep. Every egg is profit. The greater tbe number of eggs securred the lower the cost of each egg proportionally. AlwayB assort your eggs. Do not have several colors and sizes together. Put the dark eggs in one basket and the light ones in another, and pick out small ones to be sold separately.?Fanciers1 Re? view. Misguided Philanthropy. He was a heavy swell from London, stopping at the St. Dennis Hotel, and he was standing Wednesday at the corner of Fourteenth Street and Fifth Avenue, waiting for the parade, when he saw a well dressed woman with a baby help? lessly struggling in the dense crowd that packed the sidewalk. Politely lifting his hat, the dignified Britisher said: "Madam, that child will be crushed. Where do you want to go?" "Ob, sir," said the perspiring mother with an appealing look, "I am trying to get into Sixth Avenue." "All right, I will help you, as I want to get to the Elevated station," was the reply. "Let me take the baby." The child was transferred to the arms of the sturdy English dude, who pushed his way through the crowd and in a few miuuteB had reached the middle of the avenue. Looking around for the mother, she was nowhere to be seen and the Englishman started for the place where he had left her. He was stopped by a policemen, who refused to let him pasB, and said he would have to go the "other way." "Will yon please take tbe infant, then ; its mother is lost?" "Now, young feller, you can't give me any story like that," was the reply. Just at this moment the infant set up a loud howl, its tears running down the | neck of its protector as it hung about his shoulders, and the crowd at the same time awoke to an appreciation of the 6cene. There were cries of "Hi, Jimmie, got onto his jags wid de kid!" "Why don't he marry tbe girl ?" and "It doesn't look like its daddy!" A thousand peo? ple by fchis time were laughing at the Englishman, who stood helpless and un? comfortable in the middle of the street, looking about as if for some place to throw the child, when a policeman, ask? ed him to give an account of himself and how he came into possession of the squalling infant. Finally the mother struggled to the scene, grabbed the child and, stopping for a moment to accuse her new acquaintance of trying to steal it, rushed of.?New York World. ?
