- r i.e. - ' -j -
Two women, from their country home,
jaei in a store one day.
And talked? and talked, In friendly
mooa,
Thus passing time away.
At length Miss Smith, she said, says
sne: :.. --i t."- '.
"MUs Jones, Pre somethin' worth a
snowin':
But first I'll ask you Does yon know
- Just how to tell good blneitfr"
MI cannot say, Hiss Smith, as how I
does
Pve heerd there Is a way.
How does you do It? Pd like to know,
Aiore my wasbla7 day."
In kindly tone Miss Smith rep'lied:
"Pll tell you as a friend
Just take a piece about as big
As. your little finger's end.
"Then Into water let it drap
Just as I no w am doi n' ; :
And if it sinks, or swimsI don't know

Knows How to Manage.
"The Dutch housewife," says a
contributor to the Gentlewoman,
"has not her equal in all the world
as a manager. She is first of all
the absolute mistress of her home.
There are no implicit reservations
as to the kitchen. She goes into
it .every day. and at any hour of
the day and the cook who objects
is likely to be dismissed for her
pains. In that respect, at any rate,
maids appear to be more tractable
in Holland than with us.
"And such kitchens they are!
For I was asked and was taken
into three, and each timV my visit
to them happened to be about an
hour before dinner. In each case
the family to be provided for was
fairly numerous in 'one case it
consisted of ft round dozen persons,
the youngest of whom was ten.
The dinner hour ia between 6 and
6.30 o'clock, for even in those well-to-do
families the so-called lun
cheon is somewhat in the nature ot
a high tea' the Souchong being re
placed by coffee, though not always.
"I was introduced then in the
kitchen without the slightest warn
ing, the mistress not having deem
ed it necessary '-to ask permission
of her lieutenant to visit her do
main, even in company of a stran
ger. And the lieutenant, secure of
the impeccability of all things in
her charge, received us with: a
smile and went on manipulating
stewpots, red copper and earthen
ware, as" if she were alone, and
had an opportunity of looking
around. The conventional dresser,
with the conventional dinner and
breakfast service, was not there,
instead of which an array of sauce
pans, strainers, colanders and the
rest, such as I have never seen in
England. Soup tureens, sauceboat
and dishes were inclosed in cup
boards, the shelves of which were
covered with white linen cloths,
trimmed with lace, all dazzling
white. I asked how often these had
to be changed and was told that
four week 8 was the. regulation pe
riod."
Women Students in Russia.
If a Russian woman wishes to
study at any of the universities in
her own land, etiquette does not
allow her to do so until she is mar
ried. Not infrequently she goes
through the civil ceremony of mar-
riage wltn a man stuaent wnom
probably she has never seen be-
ore, and this marriage is quite
egal though perhaps the couple
may never speaK to eacn otner
again. On the other hand, if they
each like each other and they so
desire, they are married for life.
If they do not, the marriage is dis
solved when their university course
8 finished and they are free to
marry -some one eee. rne cele
brated mathematician, Sonya Ko-
valevski, went through the mar
riage ceremony with a student
whom she then saw for the first
ime and who afterwards became
her husband. The education of
women in Russia stands better than
n most European countries, owing
o the persistent efforts of the Rus
sian women themselves. By 1886
they had managed to get four uni
versity colleges for women with
1,442 students of medical academy
with 500 students, and numerous
ntermediate schools. There are
700 women physicians in Russia,
of whom nearly one-half are em
ployed in the civil service.
- Women and Charity.
The London Spectator recently
made use of statistics to show that
women in England, since they have
been allowed testamentary powers,
are more charitably inclined than
men. it says tnat during a penoa
of eight years out of $50,000,000,
over which 150 women exercised
testamentary power, the have be
queathed .more than 25 per cent,
for religious and charitable ob-
ven
has
the
ght
jects, while the proportion g
by men during the same time
been but 11 per cent.
It would be interesting were
figures at hand for the last e
years to make a comparative state
ment of the amounts left by wo
men in the United States for char
itable and religious purposes.
Some general statistics for the
present year ' may be cited which
are. of interest in this connection.
The total bequests this year! to
date for public purposes, where
the amount bequeathed has been
in sums of over $1,000, foot up
$20,624,807. Of this sum women
have bequeathed $2,231,034, as fol
lows:. For educational purposes,
$845,300 ; for the church, $533,600 ;
for charity, $812,634; for libra
ries, $39,000. If the sums donated
were added to those bequeathed
during the year it would be found
that, in proportion to the amount
of money possessed by each, wo
men in this country are more gen
erous than men.
Minimum and Maximum of Sleep
for Man.
"The old rule of eight hours'
sleep is sheer nonsense," said a
New Orleans physician, chatting
after office hours. "Natural sleep
is something that can't be regula
ted by any formula. The body
takes what it needs, be it much or
little, and the necessary amount
varies with individuals. In a gen
eral way I would say that four
hours is the minimum , and ten
hours the maximum for people in
fair health. Either more or less is
a pretty sure sign that something
is out of gear usually something
in the brain. I have two patients
who sleep only four hours and
keep in tolerable good condition.
Both are middle-aged men, and
neither of them work very hard.
They are simply so constituted
that nature can repair its losses in
four hours of unconsciousness. In
many other people nearly three
times as long is required; the
nerve cells work more slowlywhy,
nobody knows. The queerest case
that ever came under my personal
observation was that of a book
keeper of this city, who. used! to
sleep two or tnree nours a nignt
through the week and on Sunday
would catch up in a twenty-hour
nap. That is no exaggeration, but
an actual fact well-known to alibis
intimates. He seemed to be able
to store away nervous energy as a
camel stores water. His general
health during the twelve or fifteen
vears I Knew mm was excellent,
but he finally died of an attack of
pneumonia. All the lower forms
of animal life require more sleep
than man, with one exception, and
that is the ant. As far as we know
the ant doesn't sleep at all.
81ightly Changed.
A Lancaster county Dutchman
once came to a rniiaaeipnia por
trait painter with a request that he
paint a picture of his father. Very
well, said the artist, have the old
gentleman come in when next fin
town, and I will give mm a sitting.
The Dutchman replied : "He gant
do dot ; he is dait." "Oh, well then,
you have a photograph of him?"
"No. I don't got no fottograf of
him eider."
"Well, how do you expect me to
paint the portrait of your father
when I cannot see him, and have
nothing to give me an idea of his
appearance?" I
"Veil," he replied, "I dinked may
be of I dolt you aboud him you gan
paint him from dot." h.
"All right," said the artist, "des
cribe him." , )
"Veil, my f adder was not so dall
und not so 6hort, he was not so fat
und not so din," and so the honest
fellow proceeded to describe his
father as he recalled him. I
The artist undertook' to paint
the picture and in due course lit
8 completed, and the Lancaster
county man comes in to view tne
results of the artist's efforts. As
the canvas is disclosed, he gazes
ong and reverently upon the pic-
ure of his departed parent. Then
he feelingly remarked: "Yah, dot
8 mine fodder ! Mine fodder vat
I loafed so much but ach Him-
mel ! Fadder, how you haf chang
ed.
My son has been troubled for
years witn enronic aiarrnoea.
Sometime ago I persuaded him to

San Josa Scale Hilled.
A remedy has been discovered
for the dreaded San Jose scale.
That pernicious insect has caused
horticulturists more anxiety than
several varieties of borers combin
ed, because the only remedy here
tofore recommended has been to
destroy the trees. A paper read
before the Association for the Ad
vancement of Science by John B.
Smith, however, announces as a re
sult of experiments made that
crude petroleum not only destroys
scale, but stimulates the tree. One
pear tree, in particular, badly in
fested by the pernicious, or San
Jose scale, was completely freed
from the pest and started growing
luxuriantly by a bath of crude oil
administered in January.
Thus have two superstitions van
ished together. The first that there
is no remedy for San Jose scale ex
cept the burning of the tree ; the
second that liberal doses of petro
leum are fatal to trees. Oil on the
foliage of trees has a bad effect if
plentifully applied, but upon the
trunk of the tree it protects against
insects and stimulates growth.
This double discovery is of great
value to horticulture, for crude pe
troleum is no less obnoxious to
borers than to scale. It cannot be
used effectively against curculio
and codding moth, except in com
bination as an emulsion, on ac
count of injury to foliage. Inci
dentally the discovery may be of
Rome advantage to the oil pro
ducers. Pittsburg Dispatch.
A Solomon and Hypnotism.
A story is told of a judge who
lately had the hypnotic plea raised
before him by a burglar. The pri
soner claimed that he did not know
that he; was "burgling"; that he
did it automatically and unconsci
ously, under the directions of a
hypnotist.
The judge said he would give
him the full benefit of the law, and
also of his hypnotio misfortune.
He thereupon sentenced the man
to five years' penal servitude, but
told him he could, if he chose, send
for the hypnotist, and have him
self made unconscious for the en
tire term of bis imprisonment.
"The same power," said the
judge, "which enabled you to com
mit, burglary and not know it,
ought also to enable you to suffer
imprisonment with hard labor and
not be aware of it. At any rate,
this is the best I can do for you.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-five Years' Constant Use
Without a Failure.
The first indication of croup is
hoarseness, and in a child subject
to that disease it may be taken as
a sure sign of the approach of an
attack. Following this hoarseness
is a peculiar rough cough. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
given as soon as the child becomes
hoarse, it will prevent the attack.
It is used in many thousands of
homes in this broad land and never
disappoints the anxious- mothers.
We have yet to learn of a single
instance in which it has not proved
effectual. No other preparation
can show such. a record--twenty-five
years' constant use without a
failure. For sale by C. E. Holton,
