A PLEA FOR THE MUCH MISUNDER-
STOOD STEP-MOTHER.
Physical Training for the Girl*—Why
the Baby Cries—Chronic Shoppers—
Secret of Red Cheeks—-Women in
England—Odds and Ends.
To the imagination the stepmother stands
out as some one coming between father and
children, clouding the joys of home, intro-
ducing strictness and sternness where free-
dom reigned before. There is no necessity
of this picture, yet we all see instances that
justify it. Sometimes in a family all ardor
and impulse, the step-mother comes as a
stoic or a religious rigorist, freezing all the
innocent life around her, conscientiously at-
tempting high ends by injudicious means, and
unable to see why she fails in her effort.
Sometimes, on the other hand, she comes to
relax and demoralize with merely selfish and
worldly thoughts a young household
brought up to a high sense of nobleness and un-
worldly aims. In any such case the father finds
himself almost helpless; either he is under a
glamour of admiration and sees nothing
■wrong; or, if he finds out his mistake, he is
probably paralyzed by preoccupation, which
takes him away from his home, and keeps
him toiling for the bread of the family.
After all, it is the mother, even if that rela-
tion be a substituted one, who is close to the
children; she has hours with them while the
father has minutes; and after he has once
made his choice, change is impossible, even
though the children suffer.
But are not these cases, after all, the ex-
ceptions? Looking at it merely from the
children’s side, it seems to me that in most
cases this much-abused step-mother comes as
a help and a gain. It is easy to see her er-
rors and faults. The respectable gossips of
the neighborhood may be safely relied upon
for that service. But who can estimate the
perils from which even she may have saved
those children? Somebody, some woman,
must care for them. It is often this alone
that drives the despairing father into a sec-
ond marriage to escape the irregular house-
hold and the alternate flatteries and cruelties
of hired attendance. We see the mistakes of
the step-mother; we do not see the worse
contingencies from which she has saved
those children. Many are the instances of
happy boys who perhaps learned for the
first time what a home and a fireside meant,
upon the arrival of the new mistress of the
mansion; of fortunate little girls who found
all their dawning womanhood fostered and
protected by the gracious kindliness of one
who was to them a mother in all but blood.
I talked yesterday with an aged lady who
can never keep down her tears at the men-
tion of that angel of her youth, of whom she
will never speak but by the name of mother.
I have heard of two grown daughters who
on going to dwell with a step-mother car-
ried with them then* own mother’s picture,
and hung it with its face to the wall in their
chamber, that the intruder might never see
it; then within a few weeks they led her into
the room and turned it round, that she might
look at it with them, telling her that her
sweetness had conquered.—Harper’s Bazar.
Reasons Wliy the Baby Cries.
The young bachelor who volunteered an
opinion as to the reason for a baby’s smile,
and the summary justice which he received
at the hands of the baby’s nurse, are well
known, but why the baby cries is a matter
as to which few men have any curiosity,
provided it is not too late to have an engage-
ment down town when the concert begins.
The “Mother’s Manual of Children’s Dis-
eases” explains the matter thus:
“Cries are the only language which a
young baby has to express its distress; as
smiles and laughter and merry antics tell
without a word its gladness. The baby
must be ill, is all that its cries tell one per-
son; another, who has seen much of sick
children, will gather from them more, and
will be able to judge whether its suffering is
in the head, or chest, or stomach. The cries
of a baby with the stomach ache are long
and loud and passionate; it sheds a profusion
of tears; now stops for a moment, and then
begins again, drawing up its legs to its
stomach; and, as the pain passes off
stretches them out again, and with
many little sobs passes off into a
quiet sleep. If it has inflammation of the
chest, it does not cry aloud, it sheds no tears,
but every few minutes, especially after
drawing a deeper breath than before, or
after each short, hacking cough it gives a
little cry, which it checks apparently before
it is half finished, and this, either because it
has no breath to waste in cries, or because
the effort makes its breathing more painful.
If disease is going on in the head the child
utters sharp, piercing shrieks, and then be-
tween whiles a low moan or wail, or per-
haps no sound at all, but lies quiet, appar-
ently dozing, till pain wakes it up again.”—
Exchange.
The Craze of Chronic Shopping.
“Don’t tell me that such a condition of
things is normal,” said the strong-minded
lady as a group of ladies more energetic and
chatteriug with more volubility than any
she had previously seen passed before the
window. “I tell you it is nothing of the
kind. Those creatures there are for the
time being puppets, dolls, or anything you
like. Women I decline to call them. Look
at them rushing madly into the stores as
though their lives depended upon the act.
What do they want? Intellectuality to en-
tertain their husbands? Funds of informa-
tion to amuse their fathers? Attractive little
devices to keep their brothers at home? No.
Six cents’worth of ribbon to match a bonnet,
half a yard of plush to cover a hat designed
to excel one they have previously seen, or
some material from which to make a dress
for summer, though summer isn’t nearly
here. Pshaw!”
The strong-minded lady viciously drained
her cup of chocolate, ordered another in sten-
torian tones, and turned to her youthful
companion with renewed vigor. “A shop-
ping woman,” she said, is an abnormal con-
dition of womanhood induced by the ab-
surdly rapid civilization of the times. I have
for the past six years studied the phenome-
non of shopping, and I may say, as the re-
sult of my studies, that the chronic shopper
is afflicted with a species of insanity. She
can not help herself. She is determined
to shop, come what may. It is as much a
part of her daily work as eating or drinking.

How Ruddy Cheeks Are Secured.
The fashionable edict has gone forth that
it is the proper thing to look healthy and ro-
bust. The day of the confirmed invalid, the
“delicate flower,” and all that sort of thing,
is passed, and now our belles are striving to see
who can look the hardiest. The daughter of a
distinguished naval officer has been one of
the leaders of the “healthy craze,” and is
now, for that matter. Her plump, well-
rounded figure and swinging gait can be
seen on Pennsylvania avenue nearly every
afternoon, rain or shine, and she has
the ruddiest pair of cheeks in Washing-
ton. She looks the perfect picture of health,
but some of her sharp sisters have been
Comforts cheap at
track mg up the secret of how her pale com-
plexton disappeared-so suddenly.
It appears, so they say, that the young
lady called in the services of an old sailor
who had known her ever since she was a
“wee bit of a thing,” and told him that she
was miserable because she never could have
any color in her face. She asked him to
tatoo her cheeks a delicate shade of red, and
although the operation wan| quite painful,
she stood it bravely, and the consequence is
that she will have a red face even after
death. It is said that several society belles
contemplate undergoing the same course of
treatment.—Washington. Cor. Boston Trav-
eler.
Excess of Women in England.
Are you aware, my dear, of the appalling
fact that there are 948,000 more women than
men in Great Britain? At least, there was
this very awful disparity in numbers at the
last census, and I don’t suppose that the dis-
proportion has decreased since then. In
fact, it seems that it is likely to become
greater aud greater, for more girls are born
than boys, and men do not, as a rule, live so
long as women. This immense fact means,
perhaps, very little to married women, un-
less they are mothers of a large and expen-
sive family of daughters; but to the unap-
propriated among us it is fraught with the
direst meaning. We are all taught from
our nursery days upward to look forward to
the time when we shall be married “and live
happy forever after.” Do not all the nursery
stories and fairy tales end with wedding-
bells?
And I suppose that it is natural for a
woman to like to have a home of her own
and a husband and children. There are
women who would despise us for making
such a confession; but do you not think
with me that an unshaded life seems incom-
plete? Well, dear, in the face of all this are
those dreadful six figures, the female over*
plus of 948,000. It is therefore quite ap-
parent that several hundred thousand of us
must remain single, and we may as well look
the matter straight in the face, and, while
we hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Marriage to the great majority of women
means provision. Failing this, they must
provide for themselves. So every girl should
be brought up to some occupation tha/, would
bring her in sufficient for her maintenance.
Fathers ought to see that their daughters are
as carefully trained with a view to self-sup-
port as their sons are.—“Girl Gossip” in Lon-
don Truth.
Physical Training of Young Ladies.
“The only way to properly exercise,” said
the proprietor of a school for physical cult-
ure, “is to do it systematically, and we have
a regular course arranged for this purpose.
First, we take a measurement of the differ-
ent parts of the body. Then we generally
start off with chest exercise, then the waist,
then the limbs. Some ladies have a medical
examination to ascertain if they are in sound
condition, or to learn if there are any weak
spots in their body that should have extra
exercise, particularly regarding the heart
and lungs. If any weak spots are found
these are strengthened first. From experi-
ence we find that as a rule the chief defects
in the constitutions of the young women of
the present day are weaknesses of the back
and waist, and next the arms. Their prefer-
ences here are for chest-developing exercise,
and they seem to detest most that which de-
velops the waist—they don’t want large
waists. ”
“Have you any records of what your
young lady pupils have done during their
exercising V'
“I do not keep any, for the pupils do not
like the idea of having it talked about. But
I can give you several. One young lady
who was exercising here became so strong
that she lifted on the health-lift 700 pounds.
Another who took to vaulting, who was
only 19 years old, vaulted five feet. This
was a splendid leap for a woman. Last year
a young girl began exercising who was 12
years old, but who weighed ninety-eight
pounds. She began here because she was
threatened with curvature of the spine. In
six months she grew three inches in height,
and her chest girth was increased in its ex-
pansion two inches, making her chest ex-
-panson four inches. This was remarkable
when you take into consideration that the
average chest expansion, is only about two
inches. A young woman about twenty
years old, who was partly paralyzed through
shorthand writing and telegraphing, began
f sercising a short time ago and is now quite
veil and strong. Special work for every
muscle on the surface of the body is the
the only sure way of successful exercising.”

A Feature That Ought to Go.
The particular form of church fair abuse
which has attracted Mr. Moody’s attention
is the custom of setting up a pretty young
lady in the midst of the fair paraphernalia
and allowing her to be kissed, at 25 cents a
kiss, by any and all comers. Of course the
people who come to a church fair are sup-
posed in theory to be respectable and other-
wise unobjectionable from a kisser’s point of
view, but in fact there is no guarantee, and
no way of getting or enforcing a guarantee,
of anything of the kind.
It is not easy to understand how a refined
young lady could submit to become every-
body’s sweetheart, even at a fair for the ben-
efit of the church, without more or less con-
sciousness of degradation, and, no matter
how benevolent the motive of her submission
to the prpeess, those who patronize the kiss-
ing stand are very likely to entertain some-
what less respect for her forever afterward.

The Melting Point of Lard.
Mr. A. Percy Smith, of Rugby, in a letter
says: “The melting point of lard—112 de-
grees Fahrenheit—is of the highest import-
ance when it is used for making pastry. The
quality of the crust materially depends upon
it. In the hands of a good cook pure lard
furnishes a puff paste an inch or more in
thickness, while lard of 95 degrees melting
point yields a tough, hard crust, unbreakable
by a spoon. I have purposely had experi-
ments made under my supervision with
lards of various melting points, and the rise
in the crust was exactly proportioned with
the rise of the melting point of the lard em-
ployed. It is a noticeable fact that pure
lard always solidifies with a crinkled surface,
while shop lard is perfectly smooth » —Cor.

Gymnastic Exercises of Dutc.i ><irls.
A Boston newspaper man wandering about
Amsterdam found a pleasure garden where
the chief feature of amusement was gym-
nastic exercises by dozens of young women
who were out for a frolic. The visitor
found that it was a common thing for ’ the
Dutch girls to make champion leaps from a
spring-boards, go hand-over-hand up ropes
and ladders, and execute other feats usually
deemed the special accbmplishment of robust
youth of the other sex.—Chicago Herald.
A woman made the first orange box in
California, and has built up an industry in
box-making that amounts to 50,000 boxes a
year.
“I sometimes think,” says Ella Wheeler-
Wilcox in her new novel, “that God must
be a woman. He is expected to forgive so
much. ”

CAUSE OF SUDDEN DEATH.
SOONER OR LATER NEARLY EV-
ERY MAN COMMITS SUICIDE.
Sudden Heath the Result of Causes That
Lie in a Man’s Own Power to Remove
—Vitality Lowered—Hiet, Sleep,
Intoxicants and Narcotics.
Notwithstanding the sanitary advantages
I of our day, every man’s life lies in his. own
| hand; and for the most part, sooner or later,
j in one way or another, nearly every man
I commits deliberate suicide. Sudden deaths
| are no exception. They are the result of
i causes that lie in a maffis own power to re~
! move; that he does not always create them
does not take away the guilt of his neglect.
Any one who has at all considered the mat-
ter must have noticed that sudden deaths
occur, for the most part, just at the setting
in of winter or of inclement weather. They
are very infrequent in August, September
and October; and multiply themselves with
starting vehemence in November and De-
cember.
Then in the later winter and spring months
we have pneumonia and sudnen deaths from
exposure. These exposures can not always
be prevented; they more frequently can be.
One rule alone would save 10,000 lives a
year; that is, never to stand in the streets
to talk with a friend during the cold and in-
clement days; especially during the winter
days that are less unpleasant, and, in fact,
inviting! If a talk must occur, keep walk-
ing. Insist on it; adhere to it, and pneu-
monia will have a poor chance. Add one
more rule—not to breathe vitiated air, if it
can possibly be avoided, by night or by day
—and you are comparatively proof to sud-
den colds.
VITALITY LOWERED OR OVER-TAXED.
But the sudden deaths of early winter are
another matter altogether. Any one who
grows trees kno ws that when a trying win-
ter comes it destroys all those that have a
lowered vitality, either by disease or by late
growth in autumn, and a failure to get its
new wood ripened for the cold. The trouble
seems to be very similar with human beings.
Those who do ] ot seem about to die, are in-
deed busy and well all summer, are knocked
out by the first approach of severe weather.
They have just used up their daily strength
as they went along, and have no reserve
force for an extra strain. The strain comes
when they can not be out of doors freely for
relaxation, and where there is less of a
healthy sort to reinvigorate them. The
house of a wealthy man is full of comforts
and luxuries. He falls back on two methods
of relieving the pressure of business: dining
his friends, and attending places of amuse-
ment. These latter are a tax to any man
who is overburdened and worn down. What
he needs is sleep and exercise of a genial
sort. The theatre, with all its advantages,
is a terrible complication of risks for any
one not fully vitalized. The drafts of air,
the late hours, the change from hot houses
to stormy eud damp streets, and k
comes.
But almost without exception d-
den deaths of distinguished men anti nota-
bles are reported in this way: “He had
eaten heartily a dinner with a few friends,
and seemed in an unusual flow of spirits.
Soon after dinner he complained of feeling
unwell. It was thought to be a case of pass-
indigestion,” etc. But the man dies. Why •
Simply because, already heavily taxed, he
requires his stomach to do a severe bit of
drudgery, and it fails. A month earlier he
would have driven after dining, or walked,
and he would have made less of dining. But
now the social days have come. He eats
more, gives his stomach less help, and the
machinery breaks down. It is called “heart
disease,” or it is “apoplexy.” The heart is
crowded by the stomach; the blood is re-
quired in the stomach to digest; it is called
off to the head to sustain a bright conversa-
tion, or attend to business. He is “bright,”
“sparkling;” the head conquers; the stomach
fails; the heart gives up, and the man is
dead.
DIET—SLEEP—INTOXICANTS—NARCOTICS.
Two meals a day in winter are enough
for even laboring men. Three for a man of
impaired vitality are always dangerous. It
takes five or six hours for a good stomach to
digest and dispose of a round meal. . A weak
stomach requires much more. Pills and po-
tions are called in to shovel through what
nature can not deal with. Two meals a day,
with two hours after each given absolutely to
digestion, will sustain strength, repair waste,
and give the maximum of pleasure.
Added to, or a part of, this trouble, arising
from adding to our demands upon the body
when we withdraw to less active life, is the
loss of sound sleep. It is well known that
insomnia is largely a winter complaint ■with
good livers. They resort to intoxicants, or,
worse than all, to narcotics. Tons ȣ drugs
are used to secure sleep. The sum total of
the evil of both stimulants and narcotics is
that they, meddle ■with the circulation of the
blood; either gorging the brain, or gorging
the heart. What, then, can follow but either
heart disease or brain disease, or both? So
it is that these sudden deaths multiply, and
men are labeled as dead of heart disease, or
apoplexy, or paralysis. In most cases the
use of narcotics is secret, but it can be al-
ways suspected where it is known stimulants
were not used.
Our business men and notables who are
thus killed off are of two classes: either those
who were in early life brought up to out door
pursuits, or those educated to business. The
ease with which the first succumb to over-
luxury is well known. But how with the
other class? Are the sons of our wealthy
class inured to the risks and strain of busi-
ness? With rare exceptions, they —

A “True Blue” White Elepn.-- —
Thirty Burmese soldiers sit at the entrance
to the palace and watch every movement of
his highness, the Sin-pyoo-daw, with the pl-o-
foundest interest. The elephant is a light
mouse - color, with leprous - looking flesh-
colored forehead, and trunk mottled with
black spots. His small and wicked-looking
eyes are yellow in the iris, with a reddish
outer annulus. Like Mark Twain’s jumping
frog as compared with other frogs, theto did
not appear to be in this elephant any “p’ints”
particularly different from those of any
other elephant, and the writer ventured to re-
mark this to one of the attendants. The
reply came swift, sharp, stern, and absolute-
ly Crushing in its unanswerability: “The
king says it is white.” That settled the mat-
ter. The king’s ipse dixit was that? the
dirty-looking nondescript was white, and
thereafter it became as snow in the eyes of
his subjects.
According to the Brahmins, whose ancient
tenets have been accepted by the Buddhist
wise men, a true white elephant must have
five toe nails on each of his hind feet instead
of four; a certain number of holy hairs in
his tail; a white and pinkish eye, and even
though he possesses all of these peculiarities,

Excitement in Texas,
Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the re-
markable recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley,
who was so helpless he could not turn in
bed, or raise his head; everybody said
he was dying of consumption. A trial
bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery was
sent him. Finding relief, he brought a
large bottle and a box of Dr. King’s New
Life Pills; by the time he had taken two
boxes of pills and two bottles of the
Discovery, he was well and had gained
in flesh thirty-six pounds.
Trial bottles of this Great Discovery
for Consumption free at J. J. Scoott &
Co.’s drug store. 2
