Is Housekeeping Hard * The revolt of certain women against

housekeeping is not a revolt against their husbands; it is simply a revolt against theirduties. They consider house- works hard and monotenous and inferior, and confess with a cynical frankness that they prefer to engross paper, or dabble in art,or embroider pillow shams, or sell goods, or in some way make money to pay servants who will eook their husbands’ dinners, and purse their habies for them. And they believe that in this way they show themselves to have superior minds, and ask credit for a deed which ought to cover them with shame, for actions speak louder than words. And what does such action say? In the first place it asserts that any stranger—even & young, uneducated pea- sant girl, hired for a few dollars a month —is able to perform the duties of the house mistress and the mother. In the second place it substitutes a poor am bi- tion for love, and hand service for heart service, In the third plave, it is a visible abasement of the loftiest duties of wom- anhood to the capacity of the lowest paic service. A wife and mother cannot thus absolve her own soul; she simply disgraces and traduces her holiest work. that housekeeping is hard and monotonous, it is not more so than men’s work in the city. The first lesson a business man has to learn is to do pleasantly what he does not like to useful work iust be monotonous; but love ought to make it ensy, and, at any rate, the tedium of house work is not any greater than the tedium of office work. As for house- work being degrading, that is the veriest nonsense. Home is a little royalty, and if a housewife and mother be of elements

finely mixed, and loftily educated, all the more she will regard the cold mut- ton question of importance, and consider the quality of the soup, and the quantity of chutnee in the curry, as requiring her hest attention. If is only tne weakest, silliest women who cannot lift their work to the level of their thoughts, and so ennoble both.—Presbyterian Banner.

A New Diving Dress.

The Australian papers describe a new divin dress invented in Melbourne. The Buchanan-Gordon diving dress — s0 named after its inventors—claims to have conquerad the two great difficulties of the past-how to withstand the tre- mendous pressure at great occan depths, and how to give the diver while down there a normal supply of air. At the pre- liminary trials the diver remained below at adepth of close on thirty fathoms for the fall period of twenty minutes with- out having any air pumped down to him. ihe greet merit of the invention seems to be that the diver carries his own air supply down with him. The dress is described as practically a suit of armor

For iustauce, the connol:seur of Wedgwood china relies muca more on an almost imperceptibie ailference ct Leling in tha texture than on his eyes to dis cover the genuineness of any piece.

The blind beggar can very soon dis cern between different metals mercly by the sense of touch, and in factthe educa- tion of the blind afiorda a remarkable in-tince of the development @@f this sense in certain manufactures the skill- ed workman knows entively by this sense when » mixture bas reached the proper degree of solidity or a material is of the right texture, and he receives very high wages by virtue of this sense alone, On the other hand, the sense of smell and tho sense of taste are -each of them blunt- ed and lose their finer perception if the same object is frequently presented to them. In every case, however, it is not the general sense of touch that is im- proved, but a special excellence of the sense.

Social Tragedies.

An old man who had worked for one firm thirty-five years, and who all the time had been punctual and faithful, at the age of sixty-one was thrown out of

keep up with younger and stronger men. That such is the fate of old and patient wage-earners—a fate which an English paper calls ‘‘the worst of all our social tragedier’’—is to be deplored. In thia particular case the man thrown out of employment was at the end of his re cources. He had nothing to show for his lite of toil and weat and hanged himself, This man’s circumstances in old age is by no means exceptional. Thousands

it obliged to be so? By no means. It was not necessary even in the case of this unfortunate old man.

Taking into consideration sickness and death and misfortune that visit the homes of the best and most industrious of people, it must needs be that we have “the poor always with us.’ It was so when Jesus was on earth, it will al- ways be so, It is easy to see why men thus afiiieted are poor in old age; and everybody is prepared to e@xcuss them and sympathize with them. It is just as easy tosee why this man at sixty-one wus discharged and left in poverty. He was a drinking man. True ‘‘he was never seen the worse for drink,’’ but a large share of his earnings were spent for rum. Any man on earth who starts life with no capital save a trade will face want at sixty years of age if he spends the earn- ings of thirty-five years In strong drink, Indeed, they are in poverty all the time, waiting only the roll of years to throw them out of work, and reveal to them their true condition. It is then too late to build up a fortune—alas! in most in- stances it is too late to make « living.

Persunade men to let ¢rink alone or banish the saloons from our land, and at once more than half of the poverty and distress of the people would be abolished. Then the social tragedy of an old n “thrown aside like an old boot for younger men’’ would no longer wring tears from the eyes of the sympathetic, nor would there be need to shift them on to the community for support. Every man would dwell under bis own vine “= tree, and enjoy the luxury of a

“Girls are becoming more sensible, don’t you think?’ she asked. ‘“‘In what way?’ he inguired, for he was a Wise man and objected to com- mitting himself until he had seen all the plans and specifications.

‘*Well, for one thing,’’ she explained, ‘they no longer wear tight gioves.’’

“They don’t need to,’’ he answered, ‘“‘They have probably learned that they can get their hands squeezed other ways.”’

‘Well, that’s sensible, isn’t it? Anda great many of us don’t wear such tight waists, either.’’

‘*Yes, yes, of course!"’ he exclaimed, hastily.

And thereupon they went into executive sessian.--—Chieago Post.

Curiosities 6f 2>+ 11. |

The following Bible curiosities are said to have been gained by the study of the good book by the Prince of Granada, heir apparent to the Spanish throne, during his thirty three years’ imprisonment at the Place of Skulls Prison, Madrid:—

In the Bible the word Jord is found 1.853 times; the word Jehovah, 6,855 times; and the word reverence but once,

and that in the ninth verse of the One } Hundred and Eleventh Psalm The eighth verse of the One Hundred and

Kighteenth Psalm is the middle verse of the Bible. The ninth verse of the eighth chapter of Esther is the longest verse The thirty-fifth verse, eleventh chapter of St. Johan, is the shortest In the One Hundred and Seventh Psalm four verses are alike—the eighth, fifteenth, twenty- fiist, and thirty-first Each verse of the One Hundred and Thirtyr-sixth Psalm ends ulike Xo names or worls with more than six syllables are found in the Bible The thirty-seventh chapter of Isaiah, and the nineteenth chapter of 2 King: ar? alike. The word girl occurs but ones in the Bible, and that in the third verse ond third chapter of Joel. There are tound in both books of the Bible 4,506,455 letters, 755,693 words, 31,- 373 verses, 1,159 chapt rs and 65 bikes The twenty-sixth chajptir of the Acis the Apostles is the finest clLapter t» read The most beautifal chapter in the «i

is the Twenty-third Psalm 4 four most inspiring promises are Jon John 6:37; Matthew 11:28; ard Penis 87:4. The first verse of the sixtieth cus ter of Isainh is the one for the new con verts. All who flatter themselves with

vain hoastings of their perfection shanid learn the sixth chapter of Matthew. Ali humanity should le.rn the sixth chapter ef St. Luke from the twentieth verse to its ending. Performing Animals,

‘‘For the last six years I’ve been on the read with a show of performing dogs and ponies,’’ said J. D. Newman, to a reporter at the National.

‘*My employer has a farm out in Indi-

ana where he breeds all the animals he educates to do such amazing tricks.

Long years of experience has shown that the Russian poodle is the brightest dog in the world and the quickest to become educated. It is exceedigly hard to raise, but after maturity gets quite hardy. It takes about six months to teach one of them to perform fairly well; after an act bas been learned it is never forgotten.

We had time only to give this understudy one rehearsal, and yet that evening he went on and did the wrt just as smoothly as his sick col- ieagne could possibly have done. It was a maryelous revelation of canine sagac- ity, and a proud man was the professor.

Some of these legal sharks have a regular stalf of cie- tectiver, who prow! about the depots and termini of the lines on the lookout for cases. False witnesses are easily procured and juries are usally liberal in the matter of dumages, the greater portion of which are swallowed up in. the attor- ney’s ‘‘costs."’ The evil has besome so great that the street railway press is sug- gesting the formation of a mutual pro- tection society of some kind. It is pro- posed te keep a register of the names of cleimants, and interchange information as to persons who, itis more than sus- pected, make a trade of the business and travel from city to city for the purpose.

CATARRH IN THE UEAD,

A Consti\ullonal Disease, Requiring a Con- stitutional Kemedy.

Thousands of people are afflicted with catarrl in the head 1n a more or less aygra vated form. It is not only one of the most troublesome and disagreeable of common complaints, but if allowed to continue, it is almost certain to lead to and evea fatal consequences. In fact, it 1s only a step from catarrh to consumption. Catarrh in the head consists cf inflamme- tion of the mucons mewhrane in the naal passages, and st +in catends to the air cavities whih corer a considerable portion of the face and extend to the lower part of the forehead, Persons siilicted with catarrh sometimes feel as if their whole face and head were invo'ved.

There is usually a constant and very disagreeable discharge from the nose and the putrid matter fills the throat, and ur- less continually expelled it reaches the stomach, causing nausea aud a general derangement of the bealth. Sometimes the sufferer can breathe only with the mouth vpen, ard on rising in the morning a great efiort is required to clear tie bead and throat. Catarrh in the head trequent- ly destroys the senses of taste and »mell, a d its tendency is always to wear ‘out the p: tient, who becomes reduced in file .ie, weak, debilitated and discourag d.

Whatis the cure for catarrb, sug- gested by areasonable, sensible, scieu- tlic view ofthe disease? Certainly it cannot be found local

seirous

in applying rem- edes to the aff cited parte. The best

authorities say catarrh ix just as surely a constitationa! discase as is scrofule, It is caused and promoted by impure |b vod. Thorefur’, the true way to cure-catarrh is to purify the blood.

‘Lhis must be admitted to be a sensible view of the disease and its remedy. Now, what is the teaching of experience? Read the testimonials of tho-e who have been completely and permanently cured cf catarrh by purifying their blood with Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Thousaeds of state- ments have been written by honest, ttraightforward men and women ; they have been published year after year; aud their genuineness is beyond any possible question. These testimonials: are proof and not simple assertion.

Purify your blood with the One ‘Irue Blood Purifier, Hood’s Sar- saparilla. Inashorttime you will be | convinced of the w sdom of this course. | Hood’s Sarraparilia will give you an avpe- tite, tone and strengthen your stomach,
