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

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?

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.

May have nothing to do with the case,
but the drowsy, debilitated feeling with
which you rise every morning arises from
impurities of the blood or a disordered

You must then have something to erad?
