In putting away winter clothing, says
n exchange, whether It be In the form
of personal apparel or household tur-nlHhlng-s,
such as heavy curtains or
bedding, it Is necessary for one to ex
erclso the utmost care In order to
guard against great loss from the rav
ages of moths. No trouble, no matter
bow laborious, should be spared, there
being so much at stake, and the conse
quotient being quite too serious to be
trifled with In the very least. Heavy
curtains, which are used only In the
winter time as a protection, and all
superfluous bedding, such as blankets
and quilts, should be exposed to the
sun and air for a few hours: the cur
tains being well beaten and freed from
all dust and the blankets carefully
washed. Then they should be neatly
folded, wrapped in large cotton sheet
and laid away In ,the llne-n press or
store room, upon substantial shelves,
which are clean and dry, accompanied
by a goodly supply of camphor. All
heavy articles of apparel, such a9
gowns, coats or wraps of any kind,
should be taken out of doors and hung
upon the line to air; after which they
should be thoroughly shuken and
brushed until all dust and dirt of any
kind have been removed, the smallest
atom affording food In which moths
thrive and revel. This having been ac
complished, the garments should be put
away In cotton bags, made expressly
for the purpose, lurge boxes or trunks
that are not In use. It being quite Im
material so long as all air is entirely
excluded.
It'll II
All woolen underwear should be care
fully washed und dried, then rolled up
and put Into clean paper sacks, or old
cotton pillow cases cure being taken
to ee that there are no holes in them
with a generous quantity of pure
camphor or moth camphor, the latter
possessing the great advantage over
the former of being much less expen
sive, although the odor Is perhaps not
quite so agreeable. Bags of all sixes
and descriptions are Invaluable at such
a time of year or holding articles that
are to be put away until the cold sea
son has rolled around again. These
could be made of any short material,
and if desired could be adorned with
the owner's Initials, which could be
embroidered in white or colored Ro
man floss. Furs should be packed
away In their own boxes, with plenty
of moth camphor, after all dust has
been beaten out of them. Felt or vel
vet hats should be carefully cleansed
by means of a soft hat brush, then
wrapped in tissue paper and put away
in their respective band boxes. Kach
box, package, bag or trunk should for
convenience sake contain a label upon
which is legibly written a list of the
contents. This will prove a great sav
ing of time and trouble.

The good old Institution of marriage
has, says the Washington Post, re
ceived unusual attention during the
lant two or three decades. About
twenty-five years ago it was boldly as
sailed by the advocates of free love.
In England and the United States men
and women with glib tongues and fa
cile pens proclaimed this doctrine on
the platform and in the press. It is a
fact worth the attention of those who
think society Is retrograding in morals
that the free love apostles have been
silenced. We do not know that they
have been convinced and converted,
but their defeat is an accomplished
fact. Their doctrine is as dead as the
kindred delusion of polygamy. Four
or five years ago an English woman of
some literary pretensions gave a fresh
impetus to the discussion of the mari
tal relation by proclaiming "mar
riage a failure.". The heavy matra
xines and reviews were loaded for
months with contributions from writ
ers of both sexes on both sides of the
startling proposition. It was shown
as everybody knew before the discus
sion began that some marriages were
failures and others worse; but the sub
stantial result of the debate was a
victory for those who oppose the "fail
ure" theory.
II II II
The successful and beneficent social
change which has resulted from the re
cent advance of woman toward her
rightful place has tended to keep the
marriage question prominent In socio
logical and religious discussions.
Prominent clergymen of various de
nominations deliver sermons on this
great theme. One or the noted New
England Methodist divines. Rev. Dr.
Henry Tuckley, of Springfield, Mass.,
Is delivering a series of discourses on
"Wedlock and the Home." On the
text, "Husbands, love your wives, even
hs Christ also loved the church," Dr.
Tuckley said: "In the absence of love
the husband has no moral right to his
wife. He has a legal right, but there
Is no morality in the relationship.
Irfiva alone can justify the relation
ship; otherwise the attachment is bes
tial." If It be conceded and we are
not prepared to deny that love is an
indispensable condition of true mar
riage, It follows that love must be
made to order, or there are numerous
made to order, or there are Innumrr
hle marriages that are what Dr.
Tuckley would call "bestial attach
ments." In Europe, especially in con
tinental countries, marriages are ar
ranged by the parents of the contract
ing parties, and they are put on a
business basis. Vet we are assured by
competent authorities that such unions
are more likely to turn out happily
than sentimental marriages where love
abounds and provender Is scarce. We
suspect that the explanation of this
may be found in the fart that a young
man and a young wdman of grod
sense and good intentions, finding
themselves Joined In wedlock, can
. readily bVcome good friends, and In
due time come to love each other.
T, rr. " I' 'I
Dr. Tuckley says: "It Is the hus
band's duty to support his wife and to
surround her with as many comforts
as possible." That is good doctrine for
the well-to-do, but not or the poor. It
Is not the doctrine that has obtained
In New England. All through that

section the wives of poor men, In cities,
villages, and on the farms, are accus
tomed to do something that will bring
In money. They stitch shoes, make
clothing, braid hats, or perform some
other work for pay. But for this em
ployment thousands of young couples,
who are living happily In their own
homes, could not have entered on mar
ried life. Among the rights of women
Is that of sharing with her husband In
the toil necessary to accumulate a
competency.

SELECTED RECIPES:
Lamb Stew. A lamb stew Is one of the
most savory and excellent of dishes. Take
a pint of cooked lamb cut In small chunks.
Melt a tableapoonf ul of butter In a sauce
pan and add a teaspoonful of flour. When
they are melted together pour In a, pint
of stock or, if not convenient, the same
quantity of gravy and water, with any
bones of the lamb which are on hand. It
the stock is used the sauce will require
only twenty minutes' slow cooking at
the back part of the lire, but if It Is nec
essary to prepare stock from bones this
rooking must be continued an hour. At
the end of this time take out any bones
and add a sprig of parsley, one of thym",
a spray of celery and half a bay leaf.
These four herbs, whic h constitute a fla
voring "bouquet," are not essential, but
they always Improve the flavor. Season
the stew with a teaspoonful of salt ana an
even half teaspoonful of pepper and 0110
tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce or
Parisian sauce. When the saw) boils
up, add the lamb, with the same quan
tity of potatoes If you wish, und let It
simmer three minutes, but no longer. This
stew may be improved by frying a minced
onion at tn beginning In the butler, adding-
the flavoring bouquet and half a cup
of tomatoes after the flour has been
stirred in. In this 'use the sauce must
be strained baton adding the lamb. .Mut
ton makas an excellent stew, prepared in
the same way as lamb, aildliig- slices of
carrots and tiny onions, fried brown in
butter, as wll at potatoes. .
JUock Pineapple HalaJ. Of this useful
and dainty sweet the texture of unit
orange and apple is to the taste like real
pineapple. Imagination Kreutly helps in
the delusion. The Ingredients are three
of our line, large apples, live or six good
oranges (one wineglass of sherry. If yon
use it), sifted suKar to taste. Core mid
peel the apples. Slice them rather thi.t
and against the grain of the fruit. He-I
the oranges, and remove all the outside
white pulp. "SHue them thicker than the
apple, and. like them, crosswise. Lay a
slice of orange upon 'a slice of appL of
as near as possible the taint sine. Have
every drop of oraxue Julco. for the syrup.
Place the double slices in u circle In a
glass dish. Pour the Juice you have col
lected over the fruit (und the wine, too,
if use), fllft white sugar thickly over it
and add the Juice of a lemon or two (evou
more If the fruit you are using Is veiy
sweet).
Queen Fritters. To make the batter for
queen fritters, which Is the same as that
for eclairs and cream puffs, put two
oucnes of butter and half a pint of water
on the Are. When it boils add haf a pint
of flour; stir and cook for Just one min
ute. Remove from the lire and breuk in
four eggs, one at a time, and beat each in
thoroughly before adding the next. When
si have been added, beat vigorously for
about five minutes. Then scrape the sides
of the pan and drop the batter by tea
spoonfuls Into boiling fat. As it is neces
sary that It should cook thoroughly, how
ever, do not make the fat quite so hot
as for croquettes and cooked meats. Al
low the batter to swell and cook a little
more slowly, and the fritters will emerge
a delicious golden brown. Serve sprin
gled with powdered sugar flavored with
vanilla powder.
Beefsteak Pudding. Line the pudding
dish with crust made of chopped suet end
mixed with water, simply rolled out. Cut
up a pound of round steak sprinkled with
flour, pepper and salt, chop a small onion
fine; put all into the lined basin, add a
cupful of water, cover, over with the suet
crust, and tie In a well-floured cloth; put
the basin lid downward In a saucepan of
boiling water; leave lid off the saucepan,
let It boll two and a half hours.
Vanilla Cream Sauoe. Beat to a cream
three tablespoonfuls of butter, and grad
ually beat Into this two-thirds of a cup
ful of powdered sugar. When this Is light
and creamy; add a teaspoonful of vanilla:
then gradually beat In two cupfuls of
whipped cream. Place the bowl In a pan
of boiling wate, and stir constantly for
three minutes. Pour the sauce into a
Warm bowl and serve.
Harrison Bread. Pour a pint of boiling
milk over a tablespoonful of lard; when
cold, stir In four well-beaten eggs, flour
to make a thick batter and half a yeast
cake dissolved In a gill of water. When
light, bake In a loaf and serve hot, slicing
like cake at the table.

hand and a soft towel, most of the scales
will come off. A soft brush will finish the
good work, and baby will coo under the

water ought to leave the head In perfect

"THE NEW
The Scranton Republican's Prize Essay, Written for
the St. Patrick's Day Eisteddfod by Rev. R. Sir
howy Jones, of Pittsburg, Formerly of Jermyn.
"The New Woman Once Our Super
ior,, Now Our Equal."
Tho subject is aptly worded, and Is
significant of a profound truth. Nature
everywhere assigns to woman the posi
tion of superiority. This Is the posi
tion accorded her at the creation.
Chronologically she comes after man,
but that Is only an .Instance of the
good wine being kept last. Hho Is
rrouted to be the helpmeet of man.
The o:'iglnnl specimen of humanity was
such a helpless, shiftless, unambitious,
seli' centered being that the Almighty
took llty upon him, and sent him a
lovely woman, who with her superior
charms would bring Inspiration and joy
into his life.
Every effort of nature is an Improve
ment upon her lust effort. Woman Is
God's Improvement upon man. The re
sources of the architect are taxed, not
In the putting together of the rough
materials of his building, but In the
harmonizing and elaborating of Its fin
ish. It was at the creation of woman
that' God finished and elahorted the
magnificent palace of manhood which
had been left In the rough at the crea
tion of man. Woman is man with
God's finishing touch put on.
I pass by the "Fall" with tho simple
remark that the tempter, with char
acteristic insight, immediately recognis
ed the' superiority of -woman. Why,
else did he select her .for his attuck?
For the devil, whatever else he may be,
Is no fool nor coward, and he knew If
he could capture the superior citadel It
would be a very easy matter to storm
Fort Adam.
II I! II
The superiority of woman Is some
thing not reducible to mathematical ex
pression. It Is splrltuelle in its nature.
The artist can express it. The pen of
the essayist Is too dull, too heavy. But
the poet, who with true artistic im
pulse has described the Ideal woman
hoodand what true poet has not?
what poet could resist? has touched
the chords of the universal heart of
man to a responsive amen.
Her superiority belongs not to the
physical or Intellectual realms, but con
sists of that subtle, undeflnable, yet
unl,vpially recognizable quality that
clothes her with such charm as to
make her the easy conqueror of the
self-styed "lord of creation." By the
Inexorable decree of the creator she Is
differentiated from man by the beauty
and delicacy of her organization, -by her
artistic Instincts, by her refined feel
ings, by her truth-percetvlna; intuitions,
and by the expisitely tender qualities
of her heart. Whei man falls by sheer
force and strength, woman wins by
persuasion and love. Her superiority
Is the superiority of the softening In
fluence of sun-light over the mechanical
force of the sledge-hammer.
, II II
The most pnrred of all institutions
Is the home. The queen of the home Is
woman. From conception, through
birth, and for years afterwards the In
fant life is moulded almost wholly from
the mother's side. "The hand that rocks
the cradle moves the world." Maternity,
next to Godhood, calls forth the deep
est reverence of man's heart. Womnn
In her ideal sphere is the personification
of love, patience, tenderness, sweetness;
and Is holy, almost worshipful. No
other earthly kingdom ran vie with that
of the home for the wealth of its re
sources and the fur-reaching extent of
Its influence, und she who sits upon its
throne ran covet no higher nor more
resplendent one. This Is the ideal wo
manhood, which although lost for cen
turies from the world's conception, has
long been rediscovered by the progren
slve spirit of Christian civilization. Hut
In some quarters, today. It seems as
though woman, like a vain and foolish
queen, spoiled by the exaggerated adu
lation of her subjects. Is In danger of
abdicating her throneaml of throwing

Soft, natural-looking waves of hair are

has crowned her.

The new woman. In her desire to be
man's equal, voluntarily subjects her
self to the law of degeneration. She
thrusts herself into his pulpits, ha
rangues from his platform, sits in his
editorial chairs, practices in his law
courts, and engages In his trades. She
dons men's clothes, adopt's men's man
nerisms, wears men's caps, cuts her
hair short, plays men's games, smokes
men's pipes and becomes generally
"mannish." Environment must tell;
the pursuits of life have a subtle influ
ence In determining the quality of char
acter developed through them. And
when woman enters upon the pursuits
of men, she Inevitably becomes affected
thereby towards masculinity; and this
obliteration of the distinctive qualities
which have always made her the Idol
of man's heart must necessarily destroy
man's passion for her. It Is not a down
ward step when the high priestess re
nounces her altar to betake herself to
the political platform?
II II II
The newer the woman becomes, the
worse man she Is. The very new wo
man deliberately Ignores ' the marital
relation, or wilfully destroys her mater
nity; she wickedly rejects the very no
tion of home. She sells her birthright
for the privilege of making a few ran
corous Ptump speeches at the political
hustings.
President Cleveland never penned
truer or nobler words than when In the
name of his wife he wrote to a Wo
man's Political league these words: "It
Is Impossible for us to approve of tho
use of Mrs. Cleveland's name In the
designation of the club's designed to
do political work. We trust you will
not undervalue our objection, because
It rests upon the sentiment that the
numc now sacred In the home circle as
wife and mother may well be spared in
the organization and operation of clubs
created to exert political Influence."
The trades and professions as ill befit
woman as do politics. She should be
spared work In the sense of toll, for
the reason that she suplles her quota
of nature's dues In her sufferings and
duties as the mother of the race. He
sides this, toll makes her ugly, des
troys the symmetry of her fair pro
portions and the beauty of her grace;
and the world cannot afford to be rob
bed of its most beautiful possession.
Moreover, woman's intrusion into the
puKBiilts of men lowers the marketable
value of the genuine masculine article,
and reduces the remuneration of labor.
l.et woman return to her old-fashioned
belief In man, and he will loyally pro
vide for her maintenance In regal style.
Then the professions. It is evident that
general and promiscuous practice In
any of them Is Impossible to woman.
Though womrn-pieachers may be occa
sionally tolerated, women doctors and
women-lawyers ore Intolerable mon
strosities. II II II
We begrudge not woman the facilities
of higher education, but believe that
the true Held of her advance lies in
the culture of the emotions. For If this
field be left uncultivated and unculti
vated it will be. If woman leaves It for
other pursuits It musf result In a dis
tinct loss to the world's fund of sweetest
and fiurcst and most reiliiingiiifliirnces.
The world needs mlnistcrlnt nngels In
human form to cheer its sorrowing heort
und sweeten Its bitter cup. True women
are such angels.
There can be, then, no Identity of
spheres for man und woman, for the
simple reuson that there Is no Identity
of natures. There can be no Identity of
natures without collectlonKTAOMFWh
natures without the obliteration of box.
Sex Is the order of Ood. Tho distinc
tion Is eternal, and no enactments of
congresses or parliaments, r declara
tions of woman rlghters can remove it.

trustees of Shurtleff college. ny altnu
muter, for expelling his grandson, a
lad named Will Gilbert. Mr. Lincoln
appeared for the prosecution. 1 wan
tho college attorney. Mr. Lincoln came
Into, court und the judge said to him.
Mr. Lincoln, I'll argue this case for
you. Vou have too much on your
hands already. You haven't any case.'
And he explained the law and applica
tion. "Well, said Mr. Lincoln, with a
smile, 'don't you want to hear a
Kleet'h from me?"
"'No,' said the judge, and the last
case Mr. Lincoln tried tie well, he
dtdn t try It at all."
Lincoln was not an eloquent man.
lio was a strong lawyer, and an In
genious one. His strong hold was his
ability to reason logically and clearly.
He was a vt-ry self-contained man, and
not easily excited. - I remember the
nlglt when the news of tils election
was received In Springfield. The pa
triotic lading of the town were serving
a lunch In nn upper roum opposite the
cupUol. Mr. Lincoln was there and
read the returns as they were brought
to him. The returns from Ney York,
decided the day. Mr. Lincoln stood
up-and read the telegram. He was the
calmest man In the room. When he
had finished, he said, simply, 'Well, 1
must go and tell my wife..' "
' "Mr. Lincoln never told a story ex
cept for a purpose. I remember one
that he told In my presence. A cer-
taln Judge Krum, a lawyer, had been
complaining of the treatment he had
received from local judges. He swore
he meant to carry his case to the su
preme court and humiliate the upstart
judge who had decided against him.
Mr. Lincoln spoke in his quiet, dry
way:
" 'That makes me think of a story.
There was a certain man who dreamed
that a treasure was burled, and that to
find It he had but to dig In a certain
spot. - His labors were to be crowned
with success only on condition that he
keep silent while he was digging. He
began to dig. A terrific battle was
waged near htm. A naval encounter
was fought near by. Innumerable
people tried to engage him in conver
sation. Still he kept silent. A great
giant passed, walking very rapidly.
The digger did not even turn his head.
After a while a dwarf came prancing
along,- walking as It he were nine feet
high.
Say," he said to the digger, "did
a giant pass here?"
" 'The digger did not answer. The
dwarf repeated his inquiry. No an
swer. Can't you answer a civil ques
tion?" asked the dwarf. No answer.
Oh, well," said the dwarf, "I'll
just walk along and overtake him."
" Then the digger broke his islence.
The h 11 you will!" he said.'"

From the Detroit Free Press.
A big man with shaggy eyebrows and
a fighting jaw entered a shoe shop on
Michigan avenue, and after looking all
around and closely scanning the pro
prietor, he said;
"You are not the man who run this
shop fifteen years ago?"
"No."
"Are you his son, brother or any rela
tion?" "No."
"Where Is the man?"
"He is dead."
"What dead?"
"Been dead fourteen years. Owe you
anything?"
"No! I owed htm something. I owed
him the fl redes t licking a man ever got,
and I came In to give it to him today."
Well, you are too late. Why did you
wait so long?"
"He was a big fellow and had a bad
look to him. I was only a boy when I
t-ame In here one day fifteen years ago
to have a lift put on the heel of my boot.
I accidentally upset some of his traps,
and he put the lift somewhere else. I
told him I'd grow for him, and that's
what I have been doing."
"Sorry for you," Bald the shoemaker,
as he shaved away at a piece of sole
leather.
"It's a mean trick. It's fifteen years
thrown dead away. Have his heirs any
claim In this shop?"
"None whatever."
"And you are not related?"
"Not in the lpast."
"Then I couldn't punch your head on
the old account?"
"Mercy, no! Might as well punch the
man next door."
"Well. I'm sorry, but I don't see how
It can be helped. I suppose I ought to
have kept closer track of him. You
don't want to stand up before me?"
"Oh, no! no! no!"
"Well, good day. I'd like to give you
one punch for the cake of the departed,
but I'll let you off this time."

Beneath the evening star we'll sail.
And If, like Icarus, we fail.
We'll die, sweetheart, together!
