What tlie Mother* Do.
Playin g with the little people
Sweet old games forever new;
Coaxing, cuddling, cooing, kissing,
Baby’s every grief dismissing,
Laughine, sighing, soothing, singing,
.While the happy days are winging—-
This is what the mothers do.
Planning for the little people,
That they may grow brave and true;
Active brain and busy fingers
While the precious seedtime lingers,
Guiding. guarding, hoping, fearing,
Waiting for the harvest nearing—
This is what the mothers do.
Praying for the little people
(Closed are eyes of brown and blue),
By the quiet bedside kneeling
With a trustful, sure appealing;
All the Spirit’s guidance needing,
Seeking it with earnest pleading—
This is what the mothers do.
Parting from the little people
(Heart of mine, how fast they growl),
Fashioning the wedding-dresses,
Treasuring the last caresses;
Waiting then as years fly faster
For the summons of the Master—
This is what the mothers do.
Uftliiiess Woman’s Salvation.
You see this wart on my nose. That
wart is my salvation. That mole on
your neck, the one that has irritated
yoii so much since the lace yokes and
peek-a-boo waists came into fashion;
well, get right down on your knees and
give tl anks for that mole, writes Cyn
*thia Grey.
See that scar on your forehead. Be
ye altogether thankful. There is that
little constellation of brown freckles
across the bridge of your nose. Lift
your voice in joy over every one of
them.
Are your teeth set on edge? How
grateful you must be. Are you cross
eyed? Are you pigeon-toed?
Oh, you lucky thing! Your husband
must be so proud of you, and how your
friends must rejoice in these little ear
marks of morality.
We ugly women have more than we
know for which to be thankful. The
beautiful women are having their trou
bles. One-half are mixed up in the
White-Thaw mess and the other half
are enjoying private enterprises of a
nature wholly as interesting and as in
tensely startling.
Look around! There goes a beauty!
In her wake are three or four million
aires. There is another Venus. Stage
managers are chasing her. This beauty
has this and that admirer and the other
beauties have their choice of select and
cultured (?) attentions.
Away with the bleaches and the lo
tions! Be done with wrinkle-killers
and face powders!
Moles and warts and wrinkles are
but the ammunition that protects wom
an from man’s perfidy and her own
vanity.
About Wall Paper.
Rooms with low ceilings look higher
with striped walls.
A large-patterned paper makes a
small room look smaller.
A plain pale-tinted paper is apt to
fade when exposed to the sun; in this
case a white ground with colored flow
ers is better.
In a bedroom a plain paper on the
ceiling is more restful to the eyes.
Engravings show better against a
dull-tone plain paper—perfectly red,
terra-cotta, mustard or olive green.
If the furniture covering and the
carpet both have large patterns over
them select a plain wall paper of a
harmonizing shade.
If the furniture coverings are plain
sometimes a large-figured paper is a
good background.
Dark green, mustard and terra-cotta
are the most desirable colors.
If possible, a hall paper should have
a figured base.
French Make DiMtlnctlona.
A writer from Paris says there is a
great difference between the words
“feministe" and “feminine.” The first is
a woman who strives to make a man of
herself, and the second is the right of a
woman as a law-abiding, intelligent
member of society, who does not preach
unnatural laws. “We have,” says the
writer, “much to do to bring the rights
of women up to the standard of those
in America, and our movement is the
more important here, in that the mar
ried women must continue business or
professional work.
In the Sickroom.
Good cheer is better than medicine.
The jest has an important part to
play as a remedy for irritability.
Don't tell long stories.
Don't rehash other people’s trials.
Don't think up miserable possibili
ties.
Order, observation and obedience are
three cardinal virtues in a nurse.
Add to these tact, the want of which
is the base of nearly every sin a nurse
may commit.
Your Health.
Nature's price for health is regular
ity. We can not safety bottle up sleep
to-night for to-morrow night's use, nor
force our stomachs at one meal because
we expect to eat sparingly at the next,
nor become exhausted in working day
and night, expecting to make it up la
ter. Nature does nothing before her
appointed time, -and any attempt to
hurry her invariably means ultimate
disaster. She takes note of all our
transactions, physical, mental and
moral, and places every item to our
credit. There is no such thing as cheat
ing nature. She may not present her
bill on the day we violate her law, but
if we overdraw our account at her
bank and give her a mortgage on our
minds and bodies, she will surely fore
close, says Woman’s Life. She may
lend us all we want to-day, but to-mor
row, like Shylock, she will demand the
last ounce of flesh. Nature does not
excuse man for weakness, incompe
tence or ignorance. She demands that
he be at the top of his condition.
Little French Frock.
/71l I ll 1 u
Unquestionably, there is an air about
French designs that is always notice
able and attractive, in children’s dress
es as well as in those for the grown
ups, -1 fact which this dainty little
frock strikingly exemplifies. White
batiste is the material, with Vai inser-

tion and edging for the decoration. The
front is cut in one piece, with Vai inser
from the body tucks being sufficient for
the lower part, but the back has a little
gathered skirt set on finished with a
big bow of the material at the back.
The sleeves are little more than short,
full puffs, with epaulettes across their
tops, finished with lace and insertion,
also. Saucy little bows of pink ribbon
give the touch of color that a French
woman loves, and the low Dutch neck
is becoming and charming. The little
frock is as sweet and dainty as the
fondest mother could desire. The de
sign. as will be seen, can be simplified
for plainer frocks, if desired.
Chiffonier Built in Wall.
A correspondent of the Practical
Farmer says: The illustration shows
how space can be utilized, and at a
convenience. It is original. When wo
built our house I did not like the idea

of losing ail of that space under the
stairway after taking off the closet,
and I vetoed on the spot one of those
“catchalls” with a little door large
enough to stick your head in it. All that
is necessary is to open the door and
throw it in and afterwards it takes the
whole family to find it. So I conceived
these drawers, which are very useful
in the bedroom for holding bed linen,
comfortables and blankets, or fresh
ironed clothes, such as white skirts and
dresses.
Fancy Footstools Fashionable.
Footstools are quite fashionable
again. Charming drawing-room foot
stools are made on a slender-legged
wooden foundation, which is gilt enam
eled ivory white, while the stuffed top

is composed of a striped or flounce bro
cade, which reproduces the harmonious
colors and designs of the Eighteenth
Century and early Empire days, says
“Woman’s Life.” Dining-room and li
brary footstools should be handsome
and plainly severe, while chintz covered
hassocks are just the thing for the
spare room and “den.”
For Mothers-in-Law.
No mother has a right to interfere
between husband and wife when they
are satisfied with each other. No hus
band is a goed husband, no wife a good
wife, who allows such interference.
The mother who really loves her son
does all in her power to make his wife
love her, and to act as a conciliator, if
any slight misunderstanding arise be
tween the two.
But since the really good mother who
loves her children unselfishly and wise
ly is as rare as a white blackbird, it is
not to be wondered at that the good
mother-in-law is not found every day,
says Woman’s Life. A mother should
remember that when her daughter mar
ries she passes entirely from her juris
diction, and should strongly discourage
any desire to interfere with the young
wife’s daily life.
Making Baby’s Clotlies.
It used to be considered part of the
expectant mother’s duty to provide all
the pretty garments for the child, and
these to be of finest material and hand
made, of course. That is all changed
now, and it is considered as very detri
mental to the mother’s health to spend
months on fine sewing. The little gar
ments are now generally purchased,
are machine made and much cheaper
than they used to be.
Chinese Wares in Vogue.
Canton ware, especially that with the
open work bordering, which in the fruit
stands and plates has particular charm,
and the Chinese medallion china in
green, gold and red on white, are the
most correct for dining-room furnish
ings for houses of the colonial type, for
both were widely used by the wealth
iest of the early settlers in New Am
sterdam, being brought by their trading
vessels from foreign ports.
Latent in Children’s Shoes.
Embroidered linen shoes are very
fashionable at present for young chil
dren. They are usually worked in a
design of roses and forget-me-nots, in
wash silk, and the straps fastened with
small crochet buttons. In lieu of tows,
tiny embroidered butterflies are to be
seen, while the favorite broderie An
glaise is responsible for some charm
ing little shoes, the fastening straps be
ing composed of narrow scalloped bands
of linen secured with embroidery but
tons.
Cure for Nenrnlffla.
Women who suffer from neuralgia
will be interested in the simple remedy
suggested and might try it. If the neu
ralgia is on the left side, dip the right
band in water as hot as can be borne,
and if it is on the right side, dip the
left hand. As the fibers of the fifth
and median nerves cross, the theory is
that any impulse applied to the right
hand will affect the left side of the
face, and vice versa.
Passing; of the Country Girl.
A New York paper deplores the pass
ing of the country girl, who now wears
exactly the same style of clothes, long
gloves and so on, that her city cousin
wears, and the fact is attributed to the
automobile. However, street cars and
cheap excursions to the city have had
much to do with R. The traditional
country girl disappeared a great many
years ago.
She Sleeps Outdoors.
Mrs. Henry Siegel of New York is
an advocate of the outdoor life, and
not only spends as much of the day as
possible in the open, but she and her
two daughters sleep on the veranda in
all kinds of weather. She spent a long
time in Europe looking for a health
cure, and that was what she found.
ITALIAN SHOES POOR.
—Rt— -
High Tariff Keeps American-Made
Goods from Market.
The average Italian-made shoe Is sold
at the same price as the American
product, but is not half so good In qual
ity, according to the New York Trib
une. It Is made on the same kind of
last, Italian makers having successfully
copied every American style. Women’s
shoes made In Italy are particularly
ugly and ungraceful, rendering the
ankle crooked and the position of the
foot on the ground unnatural. Most
Italian -women wear buttoned boots.
Children’s shoes have perfectly stiff
soles, like wood. A few shoemakers
will fill orders for children’s shoes
with flexible soles, but the price is high
and the quality low. The only reason
why the superior American shoes do
not obtain a hold on the Italian market
Is the high tariff duty imposed on
them. Imports are taxed S4O for every
100 pieces, except those from Germany
and Austria, on -which the duty is 50
per cent less. Hides come into Italy
free, so that the native shoemaker has
an advantage in cheap raw material.
Unfinished leather pays $5 for each 220
pounds, finished leather for shoe soles
$9 for 220 pounds, glazed leather $lB
for 220 pounds, and leather for uppers
20 per cent additional on the above
rates.
Under these conditions Italian shoe
making has naturally thrived. Most of
the shoe machinery used in the Italian
manufacturing trade is Italian or Ger
man, and electricity is fast taking the
place of steam as power. Men and
women are employed in the factories In
about equal proportion. Russet shoes
make up about a third of the total out
put annually. One-quarter of the pop
ulation wears the wooden sandals
characteristic of the country.
These facts regarding the Italian
shoe trade may prove suggestive to
American manufacturers who have cap
tured markets for American shoes all
over the world. The demand in Italy
is for a man’s shoe which will sell at
not more than $3.50 and will outwear
the inferior native stock. That means
something like a $2.50 shoe in the Uni
ted States, deducting the tariff. For
women, lace shoes could be introduced
with a little good work, If the condi
tions of price could be met. It Is im
possible to purchase in Italy a child’s
shoe of the comfortable type sold In
America, or of anything like equal
quality. Prices of this class of goods
run from $1 to SI.BO, the latter being
demanded for shoes made to order in
American style with flexible soles.
One pair of American shoes of this
class will outwear not less than six
pairs of the Italian make. The north
Italian market would seem to be avail
able for a campaign, with a special
shoe which would be a novelty. Still,
the rapidly increasing Italian factories,
fostered by the protective tariff, might
readily meet such an attack.
QUEER SCHOOLBOY UNIFORMS.
Details of Dress 111 at Are Insisted
Upon by English Masters.
At many schools uniformity of dress
Is insisted upon. It is surprising how
much the casual visitor is impressed
by trifling details of dress, and if boys
were given much latitude in this re
spect the impression would not always
be a good one. Black coats and waist
coats, with black ties, always look tidy
and respectable, and are frequently the
rule. At Harrow boys over a certain
height are allow’ed to w’ear “tails,”
which, however, do not look well w’ith
straw’ hats. The Harrow straws are
familiar to most people, having a crown
of hardly an inch in height; these are
w’orn all the year round, a custom
w’hich prevails also at Winchester. At
Eton top hats are the usual headgear,
and one is sometimes treated to the
spectacle of a boy clad in football
things surmounted by a top hat.
At some schools one is struck by the
enormous variety of caps worn by the
different boys, every house having its
own colors for the different school
games. When clothes are changed for
football or cricket this is reasonable
enough, but under ordinary circum
stances the neatest uniform Is some
dark suit with black ties, the members
of the various school teams being pos
sibly allowed to wear their colors as a
mark of distinction. At many schools
the boys are compelled to wear cap and
gown, the prefects in some cases having
the distinction of tassels to their mor
tar boards. At Bradfield and Radley
the boys w’ear gowns and at Winchester
all the “collegers” were compelled to do
so, but a mortar board is very heavy to
the head, while a gown is rather a hin
drance to a boy, though it may help to
keep his clothes clean.
It is customary for prefects or moni
tors to carry w’alking sticks as a mark
of distinction, and in the old days at
Winchester prefects used to wear bowl
ers or “cow shooters” as an especial
mark of dignity. At Harrow a boy’s
great ambition is to get his “fez,” which
in appearance is much like a smoking
cap with a long tassel, but which con
fers a great distinction upon the wear
er. Brown boots are not generally al
lowed at school. All these vari us lit
tle details of dress are most rigorously
enforced, by the boys themselves as
well as by the masters, with quite regi
mental exactness. —Bailey’s Magazine.
Their Reason.
“I wonder why the members of the
douma went to Finland and then came
back to St. Petersburg.”
“Perhaps because they hadn’t been
long at the business of representing the
people and thought they had to have
something to show' to collect their mile
age.”—Baltimore American.

WILE POST DRUNKARDS* FACES.
Fond du Luc Saloons to Contain Pho
tographs of “Habituals.”
Habitual drunkards in Fond du Lac
are hereafter to be photographed, and
their photographs will be posted in every
saloon in the city. A resolution to this
effect has just been passed by the Com
mon Council. The resolution was intro
duced by one of the saloon members of
the Council. The reason for the action,
he says, is that a man whom the Council
might declare a habitual drunkard might
be known to only two or three saloonkeep
ers, and after being “posted’’ might go
to any saloon where he was not known
and obtain drinks. The police would then
arrest the innocent saloonkeeper. If ev
ery notice to saloonkeepers, forbidding
them to sell liquor to a certain person,
contained a picture of that person, the
dealer could post it in a conspicuous place
and he would then know instantly if that
man applied for a drink. The task of se
curing pictures of drunkards and sending
the notices to the saloons is placed upon
the police.
SEEK A MISSING HEIR.
Fond du Luc Attorney* Looking,* for
William Askew.
A firm of Fond du Lac attorneys is
seeking to ascertain the whereabouts of
William 11. Askew, who disappeared from
Minnesota Junction four years ago. He
is one of the heirs to the estate of his
father, Christopher Askew, a pioneer resi
dent of Waukesha county. The estate
is valued at SB,OOO. The missing man
was employed as a railroad agent at Min
nesota Junction and was postmaster there
for several terms. He disappeared four
years ago and was said to have departed
to Minnesota, Nebraska, lowa or Louis
iana. He has a wife and several children
at Juneau. The estate was left to the
widow with the provision that it be di
vided among the children after her death.
She died in August. If Askew is not
found in seven years his share will be
given to his family.
WILL HELP MANITOWOC.
New Railroad Deal Means Entrance
of Milwaukee Line.
One result of the reported consolidation
of the Wisconsin Central and the Milwau
kee roads will be to give the latter an
entrance to Manitowoc and a lake outlet
to connect with a system that will be
extended to the coast. It is recognized
that Manitowoc, being the terminal of
the ferries which offer the shortest route
direct to the east, would be a great source
of revenue to the Milwaukee road and
would take away much of the Northwest
ern’s exclusive trade. It is said that the
Illinois Central has an option on all the
property north of Manitowoc on either
side of the Little Manitowoc river.
