The a vomica of women's advancemen t were not opened, tecause in those days there "were no Irnes of advance. As well say that the freight cars In the shop are maliciously held .back anl their utility belittled, when the roadbed Is not jvt laid through the wide country they are Intended to traverse as to say that wo man has been kept 'back and deprived of her rights until recent developments have launched her as the new type. The cars are ready when the track is laid. The woman was on haml when the op portunity presented. Because a few women have battled for the day of their sex's recognition is no reason they should be especially glorified. As well laud the men for their eagerness to open the doors for the cars to run out of the shops. All their eagerness to do s was of mo aval! until the tracks were laid. There never was a man or woman yet but what wis bound to rise and progress and climb, provided the yeast principle was in their souls. As well try to keep leavened dough flat as to keep a great soul down. Poverty never yet forged a chain strong enough to bold a man prone, provided he was bound to rise. !!

The turning point came un expectedly. MU Anderson waa scarce, ly audible when ehe came to speak the lines; "Two soaks, with but a single thought, Two hearts that 'beat aa one." Then came from the gallery the piping voice of a cockney urchin, loud enough to be heard all over the house: "Oh, do speak a little louder, Mary!" The ap peal was so pertinent and plaintive, ami withal so kindly meant, despite the familiarity of the address, that ev erybody broke into laughter and im mediately following the laugh there was a storm of applause for the chup In the gallery. Instead of being thrown off her balance. Miss Anderson Plopped. waited for the noise to subside, and smiled In eymathy. (From that mo ment her success was assured. When She spoke again her voice waa all that could be asked. The other players keyed themselvos to the same pitch. and everybody on the stage and before Vhe curtain was In a good humor. All went well, and the entertainment closed with an ovation to tine American ac tress, in which Americana and Kngltsh were equally enthusiastic. Thenceforth Mary Anderson waa a favorite In Lon don.

Somervllle Journal. II II II To the (Plttsturg DUnpaitch it looks as If the contemporary hubbub over the at tempt to drop the word "obey" from the old-fashioned marriage service was an other case of much ado aibout nothing. "It is cot in evidence," observes our Smoky City contemporary, "that the new wives are either more or less obedi ent according to whether the word wua pronounced or omitted from the ser vices that united them to their hus band. During the awea that wives were enjoined to love and obey their lords they did pretty much aa they pleased. If they were told to do any thing they did not like they were usual ly equal to the emergency of having the order reverted, and as long aa they were mindful of the Injunction to 'love' they were Upt to yield becoming obedi ence. The omission of the word from Che 'new woman's' marriage service will hardly make any difference. It the new woman is capable pf loving and she would probably resent any Insinua tion to the contrary she will be Just as obedient to her legal spouse as her mother was. If there is no love in her matches then ehe bad better drop the whole marriage service as Inconsistent and repugnant and substitute a legal contract approved by the leading law yers." I! II II If we may believe an "old fashioned" correspondent of the "Sun which shines for all," though why she should call herself old fashioned does not appear on the surface of the views she ex pressesthe idea seems to be growing more and more prevalent that women should have some specific occupation, whether they be rich or poor, and they are being educated with this In view. The question of a woman's career should depend entirely upon the neces sities of the case. If the daughters of a family appear to be better endowed with the capacity for earning money than the men, as now seems frequently the case, then duty and loyalty should cause them to be the bread winners, and common sense, which is a foster child of necessity, should regulate all such questions of need. The next twenty-five years are going to see a very different class of women workers than exists today ,and the allround college girl Is going to wrest from her brother the place which he now drops Into before reaching out for himself. Some of these women will ba the sup port of families from necessity, but there are others whose superabundant energies and inherited shrewdness will tempt Into legitimate avenues of trade for the pure and simple love of riches. If women of fortune can Increase their holdings by speculation In real estate, as many a woman has been known to do, Is there any reason why she should not succeed along the lines of trade? It behooves that class of men who at present monopolise the clerkshtpa to In crease their capacities In every possible way If they do not wish to be ousted by the "coming woman." II II II For our pxrt, however, we prefer the opinions expressed by another Sun con-' tributor, who writes: "It Is useless for women to claim equality with men. They are not equal and never can be, In dustrially, Intellectually, or n any way which demandssustalned effort through days, month and jreUr. Women are physically debarred from that equality they love to clamor about. Then they demand equal pay with men for equal work. But hi their work equal to men's except fitfully? For a time, perhapa, yea. But after a little women either go all to pieces from th physical strain or etoe a long rest become Imperative to avert an utter breaking down. Then ever after there is the haunting, ham pering dread of smother collapse. It Is true that women oocMkmaHr reach ttt same results aa men ; ibut for such weary paths! Women alwaye do things In the hardest possible manner, while men se lect the most direct methods, and work In the easiest way. Men are ecooomicjul workers womew are not Women are Industrious, painstaking, conscientious, rarinnH m tneirwerk: but always at a heavy eott te themselves, while men, wita tittle trouble, and ao snifferlM. do Just as much. Instinct, insight, intul- tlon. arc all well enough, and help In a way; bat they are not aelf-eupporUag, and do not figure ep the question of equality of men and women on the basts of work. Men are by nature and train ing practical, and the (practical human being Invariably holds the advamtage. The women who can be aetf -supporting should be If the need exists; but ocsy la this case. I am very much ta favor of every human being doing what haa to be done m hla or her lot. And I am nut In favor of waiting time In speculating concerning the ethics of the situation. Then there are women who can acd women who can't.

II II II "There la a sentimental side to this question of women working. I am not sure that woman la not better for hav ing an easy time and I am sure men are bettor if ithcy seouro it for her. Sometimes I really wonder If any of us, by and by, will ever be itaken care of again, men are so fond of having their work done for them. Why, a great pro portion of the men who first opposed everything expressed by the term ad vancement of women have been won to active advocacy of the movement merely by perceiving that to a greait extent It operates to relieve their re sponsibilities. But the women upon whom the burden will fall do not seem ta realize what they will have to as sume! The average woman Is always hampered, consciously or unconscious ly, by the sense thalt her work is a tem porary thing. No amount of denial al ters the fact that every normal woman would rather have a happy marriage than any other career! In 'the depths of her iheant she d roams of it, and as she works there Is always a recognition of the hope thalt the golden apple will fall into her lap, and toM be ended. I despise the heterodox theories of mar riage which are so often put forward. I do not think it Is a matter for public discussion, and it generally appears that those who rush Into the discussion In prlift or on the platform are talking from the point of view of an unsuccess ful personal adventure. Now an indi vidual failure should neither change the public view nor be counted against the Institution. Those who would force this issue are apt to be persona who ave un willing to tand the responsibility of their own acts, and so denounce mar riage. A (Iter all. It Is only a pitiful minority raising this outcry. The great world goes on marrying and giving in marriage. Borne of these alliances may turn out badly; but, for all that, the true woman will still find her greatest happiness and her highest career as the loving wife of the man who loves her. For his sake self-denial and renuncia tion are her choice, while men willingly work their Angers to the bone for the women they love. Those who love and are loved do not quarrel wilh the In stitution of marriage." II II II 1 HEALTH HINTS: The cause of baldness Is, says tho Brit ish Medical Journal, a question which hus a personal Interest for many people In these days, when the "new man" finds it almost aa difficult to keep his hair as the "new woman" does to And a husband. The theory of the baldheaded man gen erally Is that his exceptionally active brain has used tip the blood supply which should have nourished his scalp; but those whose crop of hair still stand untouched by the scythe of time unkindly hint that this explanation Is of a piece with Ful ataff' excuse that he lost his voice by "singing of anthems." Then there Is the theory of the hat, which we are told makes for sanitary unrighteousness In two ways allowing no ventilation, and by Its hard rim cutting off the blood sup ply from the scalp. Again, there Is sebor rhea, which prepares the way for fungi that blight th hair. It would have been wonderful If that pathological scapegoat, Indigestion, had not had this particular misdeed laid to Its charge. We are not surprised, therefore, to rend that dys pepsia Is the great cause of baldness Th best way to escape baldness Is, therefore, to be careful In our diet and above all to avoid Irregularity in meals. New York Herald 1 More than one scion of nobility Is placed upnn onion diet to correct the humor of his too noble blood, th orders being three lurg Spanish onions, boiled In' two waters and dressed with pepper, salt and butter at dinner, and again at lunch, with salad of the young shoots at breakfast, plenty of sour oranges accompany this, and laxatives, not purgatives, nightly. Plnospple juice, taken a tableapoonful In a little water hourly, or one In three hours. Is alio an admlrabls blood purifier.

The extent to which European fruits navs corns to be treated with poisonous ohemloais to give them a rresh appear ance Is said to bs appalling. A Belulan periodical glvas the following facts about some 01 in cnemrcai wnion ars USta: Aoatat and sulphate of copper have for a long 41ms been employed for ooloring plums that are too green. The color of lemons Is "Improved" with cltronlne and naphthol yellow, and ths green spots are Imitated by means of diamond green. A pleasing color Is given to strawberries by sprinkling them with sulpho-fuehsine or rhodamin, or else a mixture of rho damlne aad aao-rsd Is nssd. Nothing is easier than to glv peaches a beautiful color. Ta this effect there Is employed a mixture of rhodamin, aao-rsd and dt- renin, which is applied by. means of a brush and a perforated plate of sine The melon Itself is not spared.

Apples and pears come in their turn, and pretty varieties of them are obtained by means of aniline color, which attack th desk aa well as th epidermis. - Fow people know how te tak proper car of their nails without the assistance of the manicure; and yet with a small amount of trouble even th ugliest nails can in a short time become beautiful. Of eoum. It is difficult to altur th color and shape thereof, but with om attention they may b considerably Improved. A correspondent of Vogue writes: To be gin with, the hand should always b washed In very hot water, or, better yet. In warm oatmeal water. Falling this, a few drops of tincture of bensoin in the water add greatly to th whiteness and softness of the skin, and also conduce to the beautifying of the nails. When the hands are thoroughly clean, rinse them In clear, warm water, into which a tea spoonful of almond meal has been thrown. Dry the hand on a soft towel and Im mediately rub them with the following mixture: One part pure glycerine, one part lemon Juice, one part rosewnter. This can be prepared either for Immediate use or kept in a bottle for three or four days at, a time. Twice a week the nails may be rubbed with this varnish: half an ounce pistachio oil, 32 grain tuble salt, ta grain powdered rosin, a grain ground alum, H) grains melted white wax, two grain fine, carmine. These Ingredients should be thoroughly mixed over a spirit lump, made into a kind of pomutum und preserved In a small glass or porcelain jar. It should be applied to the null by a tiny wad of medicated cotton and allowed to remain for half on hour. The thin membrane at the root of the nail should then be carefully pushed back with tho rounded end of un Ivory nail llle, anil the little. "Idle skins" that often grow at th root of the nail cut away with a pair of very sharp scissors. When thl Is done the nail should be polished with the so called "diamond powder," a small quan tity of wlik'h ts put on a chamois-skin nail polisher. TI10 hands are then washed In hot oatmeal water.well dried on a very fine towel, and finally the nails are pol ished once more with a fine chamois. lld you ever hold a watsh and see for how many second you could keep a stream of air flowing Into your lunKS? If not, make the test, und you will find that, no matter how small the stream, you can not kenp It constantly flowing In for mora than lifteen, twenty, or possibly thirty seconds; but If you will try two or three time each day you can double the time within two weeks. The boy or girl who will try this and keep It up regularly for a year will not be likely to die of con sumption, and should they ever become public speakers or singers they will be very thankful that they commenced when young to take "lung baths." II II II SELECTED ItECiriCS: Gooseberry Pie. Put one pound of sugar to one of fruit, cook until it begins to Jelly, then spread over rich puff paste already baked, sprinkle the top with pow dered sugar. Chilled Ttaspbrrrles.

Sweeten to the taste, which will probably require from a half to three-quarters of a cupful of sugar. Canning Pieplant. Pick when It Is long and good, cut up and put In glass fruit cans, press down, cover with cold water, seal and put away. It will keep fresh till It comes again. In sections where the fruit is scarce it can be so easily raised and Is so easily kept. Rich Currant Pie. One teacup each of grean currants, sugar and swct cream, mixed. Line a pie pan with crust, bent an egg, stir tnto the mixture, pour Into the pan, lay over bits of butter, cover with an upper crust and bake. Let cool and sprinkle the top with powdered sugar.

Stem, wash and weigh. To four pounds of fruit add half a teacup of water; boll until soft, and add four pounds of sugar and boll until clear.

Whipped cream may b used In place of th meringue if preferred. To Cook Canned Lobster. Drain the meat thoroughly, then spread It upon a platter, and pick out the coral. Rub the coral smooth and mix with It the braided yolks of three hard-bollad eggs; mince the lobster meat fine. Make a batter of milk and flout1 and one or two eggs; beat all ths lumps out of the flour, and add the lobster and coral to this, season with salt, red pPPr and a Itttl lemon Jules. You need flour enough to make a batter stiff snough to hold th meat In shape. Form It Into hot cakes and try In hot butter. DAINTY SUPPER DISHES. Basis Suigestioas for the Boasekeeper Who Woeld PtMse. From Good Housekeeping. It Is not always easy for the house keeper to find a pleasing change of menu for this-meal, and, in conse quence, the supper table often becomes "stale and flat," If not "unprofitable" Tho following recipes will all of them be found excellent and serve to add a sploe of variety: Baked Cheese One and one-haf cup fuls of grated cheese, one-half cupful of very fine bread crumbs, one eupful of milk, one of egg, beaten separately; dash of pepper, pinch of salt.
