Dianen-Air the Bedroom.
From the nursery to the narrow boose is
but a short journey, and in the brief space
between the two termini the pleasantest
domain ought to be that of childhood.
Children alone, of human Inrings, have the
capacity for unadulterated enjoyment.
Their childhood, therefore, should be the
holiday of life; its slave day will soon be
upon them, and thea farewell forever to
the merry world without a responsibility,
a fear or s. care, which is their rightful
abiding place until borne out into the ito
TO ult- and the strife of the great maelstrom,
laster they must learn, duties they must
be-taught, but those who know how to in?
terest the developing mimi, and to feed it
wisely and well with the clements of
knowledge, -can make education one of
childhood's pleasures.
If every child could be properly instruct?
ed intellectually, morally anti religiously
a very few generations would suffice to
bring about the millennium, and if the
foundations of a life long cheerfulness
could !*> at the same time laid,- b3' afford
imz to ali children full opportunities for
innocent enjoyment, what a merry millen?
nium it wot; ld be. That being out of the
question, let us do the best we can. Away
with ail che'tribe of humbugs who put
?children int-y strait jackets-who would
cram them in school and make automata
of them out of it. Teach the children win?
ningly. Make knowledge attractive to
them. Let them frolic unrestrainedly.
Some ct>rh:ren are utterly broken down
physical, y ac? mentaiiy by over education.
Others bave no education at all. Cf the
twain ?Le fot mer are more to bc pitied, j
The tf3c??!cated can afterward educate
themselves, but children who have had
the vitality and spirits of their youth dra
tfootted ont of them bj martinet teachers
eau never repair the damage that has been
done to tl?eir bodies and minds by over?
tasking.-Xew York Ledger.
Thln?sThnt Deter Women from Marrying.
There ore three general causes which
bring tiiarriage into disfavor with women:
philanthropy, higher education and self
analysis. The first has been a powerful
factor ia its subtile influence against mar?
riage. The mental atmosphere is per?
meated with the idea of responsibility for
another? happiness. Woman now feels
herself accountable for the welfare of hu?
manity, and through the exercise of that
? respe t?sibiHty has found occupation for
mind am! heart which has prevented ab?
sorption iu her own affairs.
Higher education has affected marriage,
inasmuch as it b:is opened new avenues ol
employment for women, has fortified them
for ?i-e as a whole and bas led them to re?
gard marriage as an incident. It has given
girls a communistic feeling, which makes
them prefer to teach where there arc other
teachers rather than to live on a hilltop
and rad- aloud to their parents or to re?
tire to a farm or a tenement and bake and
brew for their husbands. The higher edu?
cation lias separated marriage and mot her?
hood. Almost all womcu love children,
and would gladly use their knowledge for
the delight and profit of a family, but they
dp-not want the fejterrening marriage.
Analysis bas advanced from being a
method in text books to the study of one's
?elf. The age Ls analytic Once work was
so constant that married women did not
xealizc their loneliness or the want of ap?
preciation which befell them. Now society
and the middle class have leisure to ex?
amine their states of mental solitude and
to see just where husbands are wanting.

Unpopularity of an Off Horse.
It is a matter of long inherited custom
with us to begin oar relations with the
other sex with a pretense at refusing to
pull, together. But a woman, after all,
should have a good deal more oddity thau
??be average woman bas. It is expected of
us to bc pretty much all of a pattern, and
t? act according J:o rigid regulation rules.
The first women preachers were held to be
off horses, but tlie world is used to that.
The first women doctors and lecturers and
editors and telegraphers were looked at
with the sume aversion and amazement.
A* few* off horses weat ahead, and now
there are plenty to follow and few to sneer.
Hrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony had a
million ?hafts of wit hurled at them, but
today they are gathering in the honors.
Colleges wereelosed against women until
Oberlin was opened for them in 1S40, or
thereabouts. It was held that a woman
did not need a higher education. Those
who were known as Oberlinites were held
to 5e eccentrics, who wanted to be un?
like other people. It is alw:*.'"- needful,
therefore; to hare pioneers who can endure
to be pointed at and lashed by the funny
folk*, whose business it is to sneer us ali
ii to tte traces. I see no pleasure in oddity
for its own jake, but to be peculiar in order
.to attain new and higher ends ought to be
cd vocated.- Mary E. Spencer in St. Louis
Gk>bej>emocrat.
That Illstori? Apron.
At the first election held in the territory
cfc iVyoirilug ;?fter the right to the lwillot
w\as occured to woman the first woman who
voted was Mrs. Sawin, a lady more than
seventy years old. She stood on the steps
of the court house in ijaramie City and
waited for the polls to open that she :uight
claim the hc<? r of being the .iinji -.vornan
voter. Ali ber friends cheerfully accorded
berthe privilege which she so highly prized.
A few weeks later an apron festival was
given for the benefit of the ole Literary
sud Library association.
The aprons were sold at auction, and the
MoKest inhabitants" of Laramie tell how
Mrs. Sawin's apron was purchased by a
gentleman from Washington, who gave $10
for it, and who declared afterward that he
would have paid $50 rattier thea not have
secured the apron belonging ;& the first
woman voter of the United St:*tcs> and ot

?Casy Way to Wasb. Dishes.
I have an improved plan for washing ,
dishes which h;ts been practiced in some
households in this ciu* and which has been i
pronounced A great success. Jx-t enter?
prising housewives who are not trammeled i
hythe bonds of custom try it for them?
selves.
First have your water boiling hot. This 1
is essential. Provide yourself with a com?
mon painter's brush, with a handle about 1
tea inches long. If tlie bristles are not :
found conveuient tie a piece of soft rag at 1
the end of a stick of the same length. Take
the plates and, after removing all the '
scraps, pile them on top of each other in
the empty dish pan. Pour enough hot 1
water on the topmost dish to fill the dish, j
Then tipping up one end of the dish with 1
your finger, wash front and back with the
brush.
Remember, it is not the heat of the
plates, but the hot water that pains the
Lands. When this is completed the water
will be tn the next dish. Lift the clean
dish out and place it on its edge against .
the walL Put in more hot water and per?
form the same operation on all the other
dishes, and wheu tbe work is finished you
will find that the heat bas dried the plates. ?
and that they do not require to be wiped.
By this method you need not scald or wet !
your hands, and yon also avoid the trouble
of wiping, which id half the work.-Detroit
News. _
Women at Auction Sale*. '
"Onr best friends are the women." said
as auctioneer to me as be bung ont bis red
flag in front of a fancy and notion store. ,
"The average woman is the most deter- J
mined bidder, for when 'a woman will she (
wllL' The women who attend auction ,
sales of any kine are neither very rich nor j
very poor. They are from tbe comfortable ,
class. The women enjoy shopping, and we

missions will be higher than if their men j
folk-., did the bidding.
**?ome women have a perfect mania for
attending auction sales. They will go to a
sale in Maiden lane in the morning aadato
another in the dry goods district in-the
afternoon. They invariably display good
judgment in .selecting the newest designs
and fashions, but we have them when it
comes to prices, for I never met a woman
yet who would let any man outbid her for
an article she had set her mind upon."

How to Cook and Serve Eels.
Many people have an unconquerable
aversion to eels as an article of food, but
this must be because they have never been
fortunate enough to eat them properly
cooked, or because they cannot forget the
snakelike form of this delicious fish. If
closely followed trhis recipe for stewing
eels is sure to prove satisfactory: Cut the
eels into lengths of about three i neb es, and
parboil in water in which a little bi-car
bonate of soda has been dissolved. Throw
this water off. Take two tablespoonfuls
of butter, and put into a stew pan with
half an onion cut in thiu slices. When the
onion is cooked a light brown stir into it
a couple of tabiespoonf als of flour; put in
eels, season with pepper and salt and add
two bay leaves. To the butter and onion
add slowly a pint of milk. Stir all the
time. When thc eels are added let it sim?
mer one hour. Serve on toast. Stock may
be used instead of milk, in which case add
the juice of a lemon before serving.-New
York World. _
The Use of Drugs. .
It is an inborn idea of the English and
American mind that there must perforce
be some drug adapted to the ever varying
states of the body which contains it. So
many disorders, so many remedies. The
faith which never wavers that nature has
a panacea for every ill is touching to wit?
ness, and seems to flourish in an age of
science and skepticism as vigorously as in
the past. Americans especially exhibit a
robust form of this faith.
American girls, it is said, now carry
about with them ornamental cat glass
bottlescontainingquinine pills, with which
they dose themselves from time to time.
If fatigued they take two pills; if chilly,
one; if hungry (as they generally seem to
be), four or five. It is said that ten is the
correct dose for wet feet! We believe the
misuse of drugs in America is inducing a
lot of sensible people in that country to
give them up altogether. That is the only
safe way with drugs.-London Farm and
Home. _
Coiling Her Hair.
It is an amusing thing co see a girl coil
her hair. She piles it high on her crc?vn
as she can build or hangs it low on her
neck, the loose ends straying over her
shoulders. She is a young person of char?
acter; she knows no indecision; this stand
or that must be taken; the middle course
she cannot endure. It is only the rare girl
who makes herself pretty, for hair nowa?
days commonly looks as if it were weeks
since it had seen brush or comb. The very
low knots are worst in this particular, for
they fray out almost with the movement
of the lips or the turning of the eyes.
Nevertheless, for curly locks they are very
pretty when a girl is young enough and
picturesque enough to stand such framing
of her face by the loose tendrils twisting ia .
her neck and falling against her collar.
At last there is a coiffure for the tip tilted
nose. Three soft puffs, one above another
on the top cf the head, seem to suit it
famously.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
Brash and Cab the Head Frequently.
If there is nothing the matter with the
head or the skin the hair will grow all
right if it is treated in the natural way.
Ordinarily stiff brushes should be used,
and occasional rubbing and smoothing out
with the hands are soothing to the head
and good for the hair. Mental workers
are especially troubled with neuralgic pains
and headaches which "frequently kill thc
coloring pigments and turn the hair pre
matarely gray.
Combing and rubbing thc scalp of the
head with the hand draws thc blood up to
the surface cf the head, and not only re?
lieves the pain at times, but adds new
strength to the hair. Those suffering from
neuraigic head pains should spend half an
hour in this work even' night before retir?
ing. This gentle massage treatment also
has a tendency to cure dandruff. It
strengthens tho skin aad opens the pores
so that the blood can throw off its effete
matter.-Yankee dade.
Air tbe B-f-drooui.
Will there ever ba au end of thc need of
saying that the room which demands most
careful attention is thc sleeping apart?
ments. Bedrooms should ba light, sunny
and spacious, and there should bc constant
change of air, a window, either ia the bed?
room itself or in an adjoining room, being
partly opened at night. If a chimney
passes through the room, a chimney in use.
an opening into the chimney, covere I with
one of the simple perforated covers that
may be closed at need, makes the next best
ventilator to that of t he op?.n fireplace of
the old days. Anti now that Annuel and
cashciere-n'.ghtgowas are so mach used i t
wifl perhaps be easier to persuade people
that all day underwear, yes, particularly
and .especially the woven wool next the
person, should IJC remove ! an 1 carefully
hung to air during thc night.-Exchange.
Milliners Karn Dig Money.
One of the best paid branches of female
industry is that of trimming ladies' hats.
To thc inexperienced person it might seem j
to be an easy thing to take a hat frame -ind j
put on a little velvet or silk or ribbCT jr
flowers or feathers or birds. Bat the fact
is that practically it is difficult to find op?
eratives who have the requisite taste and
skill to do this with success. It is neces?
sary, while preserving the general style of
fashion, to put into the work a certain dash
of originality, because no two ladies' hats
are precisely alike. The trimmer must
understand the harmony of colors and the
arrangement of materials. In fashionable
establishments this work approaches high
art and commands $30 a week.-New York
Sun."

GOGO ROADS ARE COMING.
The Widespread Agitation Has Taken
Root and Is liearing lfrcit.
Tue roads improvement agitation is
growi?g apace throughout the length
and breadth of the land. Progressive
ideas generally have a hard time of it at
first, "but when they get a start they go
with a nish. Tho idea of good roads is
progressive and it has "been no exception
to the rule. But it lias passed its baby?
hood, is now in a vigorous youth and
promises to pass on to a hearty, aggres?
sive maturity.
No better evidence of this is at hand
than the fact that Uncle Sara himself is
interested in it. And well he may be,
for no reform will do more to add to the
general prosperity of the American peo?
ple than a reform of tho ancient and
pernicious methods which have ir "J
American thoroughfares the abominate
nuisances which they undoubtedly are
now. Some time in November of last
year Mr. Isaac B. Potter, who i3 doing
more than any other one man to bring
good reads from fancy land and make
realities of them, wrote to Secretary of
State Blame asking for information re?
garding foreign highways and highway
making. Now, every American consul
in Europe has been instructed to forward
s=> Washington reports on the subject.
These reports will be invaluable to
friends of good roads, for they will show
what has been accomplished, and will
command the belief of many people who
are now skepi ical as to the good results
which improved highways are sure to
bring.
The fact that the state department has
taken np thc matter gives assurance that
the agitation has taken deep root, and
the fact that the state governments are
passing laws about it shows that it is
bearing fruit. The report submitted to
the Pennsylvania legislature by the com?
mission recently appointed to ascertain
the best way of going about the task of
improving the highways of the state is
of particular interest, as it doubtless em?
bodies the most carefully considered,
equitable and effective plans yet offered.
The commission had held over twenty
meetings in different parts of the state,
and at least 5,000 farmers and others
had attended those meetings and given
their experience with roads and as road
makers.
The supreme difficulty faced the road
commission in its work of formulating a
general road law that was to avoid the
burden of a direct cash tax upon the
farmers of the state, and yet do away with
the pernicious and absolutely valueless
system of "working ont" a road tax.
The new law will make the township
the unit upon which it will base all opera?
tions. It will not propose any special sys?
tem cf road making, for while some of
the counties have au abundance of stone,
others have none to speak of, and there?
fore attempts to build macadamized
roads in these latter counties would be
attended with such an exorbitant cost
that it would reduce the farmers and
land holders to practical beggary in the j
payment of road taxes. The best perma?
nent roads suitable to the soil and re?
sources of tho various counties will be
recommended.
The amount of money expended upon
the roads of Pennsylvania will exceed
$9,000.000 annually. This money, or
what represents money, labor, is almost
thrown away under tho system known
as "working out*' road tax. What is
collected in cash goes into the capacious
lockets of supervisors, or is paid in
wages to road workers, who make a
holiday of the occasion.
The road super visors will continue un?
der the new law, but with somewhat re?
stricted privileges, and will be known as
township commissioners. There will be
three elected in each township. They
will be under the direction of a state
officer, who will be known as the dis?
trict supervisor or engineer, and will act
in conjunction with him. The counties
will be. divided into districts, with an
engineer in charge of each. This official j
must be a practical engineer, whose duty
it will bc at regular intervals to inspect
all the roads in his district. He will also
supervise the letting of all contracts for
road building, superintend or inspect
the work as it proceeds, and pass judg?
ment upon the character of tho work be?
fore it is taken off the contractor s hands.
The township road commissioners will
be subject to Iris orders.
All road tax must be paid in cash. In
road improvements or construction the ?
commissioners are authorized to give the
first chance for employment to men and
teams to persons residing in their dis?
trict, with whom a strict account will
be kept and the amounts earned, at the
same rate per diem for men and teams
as would be paid others outside the dis?
trict, paid in cash to those so employed.
Thus, while the law makes the collection
of cash road tax mandatory, it- opens the
way for the farmer to get back his money,
and more, too, perhaps.
With reference to new roads the road
commissioners, in conjunction with the
county road engineer, will lay out new
roads and vacate or change the location
of existing roads within the townships
on petition of not less than six taxpayers,
whenever they, or a majority of them,
think it necessary to the safety or con?
venience of public travel. In case of
roads running through two or more town?
ships, they will be laid out by the road
engineer, in conjunction with the presi?
dent of the board of each township. The
viewers- in each case will make a report
to the next term of court of quarter ses?
sions, with the right of any taxpayer to
be heard by exception, remonstrance,
testimony or otherwise. The road en?
gineer, in conjunction with tao road
commissioners, will determine which of
the roads within their respective town?
ships shall bo laid out or selected princi?
pally with a view to accommodating
through travel, yet having due regard to
the demands of local travel. The roads
will be macadamized or otherwise per?
manently constructed in the most ap?
proved manner, considering the location
and material to be had. ia strict accord?
ance with tho plans and specifications to
bo furnished by the county road engineer.
Ail roads aro to bo built by contract.
