WHOLESOME MOTHERHOOD A Chapter of Advice to H others aad Daughter That's Worth Mudyiag. From the Home Queen. I asked a sweet little girl of touryear what she was going to be when she grew up. She answered, looking admir ingly towards her own mamma. "Just a, mother." Half unconsciously the little maid expressed a whole volume In those few words; and yet how few wo men realize what they are taking urou themselves when they undertake to be come a wife and mother. No one has a rlKht to do this without special preparation and knowledge. A sincere and careful study of the duties and resiHinsibtlities one is about to as sume should precede the assumption of these relationships. It Is due to the man one is to many It Is due to the child thut is to be born, that the wife and the mother should avail herself of every legitimate source of wisdom and of strength. Some one Inquired of the lute Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. "When should the culture of the child begin?" The great scientist and philosopher an swered, "A hundred years before It is born." Unfortunately for our offspring, we cannot turn back the wheel of time to that extent: but we can ourselves begin so the right story may be told a hundred years hence. It is a perpetual marvel that women without this special preparation fur their profession have done so well; out how much better they might have done if they only hnd known more to begin with. As It is. they leain the. art of housekeeping at the husband s expense, often at the expense of both his pocket and his stomach. They learn the duties of maternity at the expense of their own health; and often, too, of their own life. They learn to rear their children at the cost of a bitter experience, and at the loss of a large proportion of them, many of them dying in early in fancy. NO EXCUSES FOR IGNORANCE. No woman who esplres to the dignity of wifehood has a right to be ignorant of the practical duties of a well-ordered household. She has no right to shun her own kitchen, or to be unlearned In the chemistry of cooking. How can she direct stupid, and careless and ill trained servants in a science of which she herself knows nothing? Americans, as a Glass, are ashamed of domestio service, and are willing to grant Its monopoly to a set of incom petent bog-trotters Imported for the purpose. To their stupendous ignoranos and tender mercies we entrust the se lection and preparation of our dally food and the cleanliness of our prem ises. "Fitthy" Is the word which most flt'.y describes the part over which they rulo supreme. The teacher of a certain female acad emy, not far away, makes her boast that she knows no culinary art except to make molasses candy! Fortunately she has never succeeded in catching a husband, else he would soon be sur feited in sweets; but what an example she makes of herself to the young ladles of her class. According to their respect for her, they despise housework. She teaches tham accomplishments, appearances, drawing, dancing, dress ing, and conversation. Every year she graduates a set ol paie-iaceu, gnia.i walsted. histoid young creatures whom she deems "finished" In brala and body. Far better would it be for their future husbands and for the human race if they were never begun. All these thinirs have their lawful place; but If a girl's education must be confined either to this or to some goou oooxing soaooi, we would certainly prefer the latter. Of all kinds of trades it is expected that one will serve some sort of appren ticeship, ull, save these, the most Im portant of all those of wife, and moth er, and the household nut-en. The mer est chit of a girl has no misgivings about her qualilloations for such a po sition the moment It Is offered to her. What wonder that disaster, divorce or death often follow the bridal hour! A young clergyman, fascinated by the radiance ol youtn anu Deauty. mar ried a woman of eighteen summers. When he afterwards found she did not know how to wind a clock, nor scarcely how to tell the time of day by It, he was so disgusted that their wedding ended in tragedy and a life-long mis ery. The girl wife had spent years ot study in music, and in foreign lan guages, but not one month in fitting herself for domesticity. What kind of wisdom has such an un tutored, undisciplined woman? Whut kind of wisdom has she wherewith lo make a home? When discomfort and disease conies In at her door and steals through her house, her husband's love and respect will surely lly out of the window. Lately we have noticed Heverul ad vertisements culling for "a mother's help." Some one willing to assist in Ihe home instruction and care of the children, and the lighter duties of housekeeping; in short, some one to supplement the weary mother. THE RIGHT DIRECTION. This Is a step in the right direction. It would not only relieve the over-bur dened matron, but be a valuable means of Instruction and preparation fur the unmarried young woman. Did you ever notice how many moth' ers are invalids before they are thirty and broken down, wrinkled and prema turely old by the time they have reach ed the age of forty? It Is not a woman's fault If she Is not born handsome and strong; but It Is lurgely her own fuult, and that of her education, if she does not attain to some measure of beauty and strength by the time she hus reached middle lire. Yet, alas! how closely marriage and Invalidism have become associated in tr ptihiir mind. 'i'iic Frenchman Nlchelet,' speaking of American women, says. "She Is an ex qtilsite invalid, with a perennial head ache and a tendency toward -nervous prostration. If women only knew it they could cnanee an this. In the first place the girl should studv her own organization and her special constitution. Anatomy and Dhvslokiirv should become familar sciences. . She will then know better than to compress ner cnesi wun corsets; she will know better than to decrease her breathing capacity, and to reduce the nower of the thoracic muscles. If you confine any part or it bo it cannot perform Its junction, mat part becomes weak and comparatively useless. "I put on my corsets the moment r leave my bed." a lady told me "I should faint away if I did not." The muscles of that part had so long been Idle, so long been bound In splints of whalebone and steel, they had he come weak and atrophied. What sup port could they afford in an hour. of trial? What could a man .do at defending himself whose arms had been carried In a sling for weeks, to say nothing of years of a tight-fitting corset? At the lower part of the chest are the so-called "floating ribs." Thee are Liver DDIs Like biliousness, dyspepsia, headache, consti pation, sour stomach, indigestion are promptly cured by Hood's Pills.

From tots cause the air celts in the lower part of the lungs become like the pores in a dried-up sponge. That broad, flat muscle, the dia phragm, which Nature intenoVd should assist In respiration.

It Is obliged to help In push ing down the Important viscera whli-ii lie below It, thus causing a dreadful pro lapsus of many delicate parts. . PHYSICAL FOLLIES. As if this were not enough, the fool ish and misguided woman puts her pretty feet on high heels, and so pro duces further displacement and then disease, prolonged suffering, and often death. In thlB way her offspring are robbed, at the very outset, of their vi tality, and cheated out of their birth right to health and strength. Surely the mother who would know ingly do this is neither wise nor con scientious , and cannot be healthful herself either mentally, morally, or physically. The trouble Is they do not know. Myriads of young girls on the very threshold of womanhood are Btandlng with shattered systems, who. If they knew and could explain the cause, would say, "My mother never told me." Between the parent and the growing youth or maiden there should be the most perfect confidence and freedom of conversation on the most sacred and most intimate laws of life and hygiene. The mother who cannot Intuitively understand even the temptations of her son has no right to have a son. The woman who cannot so order her own life, and so prescribe anti-natal condi tions as to reduce temptations to a minimum and bring assistance to temp tations to Its maximum, has no right to be a mother. THINGS WORTH KNOWING. To Preserve Sponge. The best method of treating sponges In order to preserve them is to wash them every week In salt and water. For Making Hands Soft. Mix honey, olive oil and almond meal in equal quan tities; use when washing; wear gloves aa much as possible. Cure for Corns. One tea spoonful of tar, one of coarse brown sugar and one of salt petre, the whole to be warmed together; spread the mixture on kid or soft leather the alze of the corns, and In two days they will be drawn out. To Cure a Nervous Headache. We are told that walking a short distance back wards effects an immediate cure. It Is so simple that one has only to wait the op portunity to try it. It is well to be sure that your way is clear before trying It. Leather chairs may be cleaned with warm water, a little vinegar, and a quite clean sponge; dry with a soft wash-leather, whisk the whites of three eggs with three teaapoonsfuls of turpentine, rub into the leather with a small piece of soft flan nel; rub off with clean linen rags. Filter for Cistern Water. Perforate the bottom of a wooden box with a number of small holes; nlace Inside a piece of flan nel, cover with coarsely powdered char clal, over this coarse river sand, and on this small pieces of sandstone. The water passing through will be thoroughly fil tered. To Remove Grease from Carpets. Equal quantities of fuller's earth and magnc-ala should be mixed Into a paste with boiling water; put It while hot thickly over the grease and leave It on for several hours, when In all probability It will have ab sorbed the grease; then brush it olT with a hard brush. Cement for Joining Wood. A very supe rior cement for joining wood may be made by soak I id? Isinglass or gelatine In water until it swells; the water should then be drained off, and spirit poured on It, and the vessel placed In a pan of hot water until the Isinglass is dissolved. This cement must then be kept In a well-stoppered bot tle till wanted for use. Pickle and Preserve Jars. Remember that pickle and preserve Jars should al ways be washed In cold water, dried thor oughly and kept In a dry place. If they are washed In hot water It cracks their glazed surface, making them porous and unfit for use, since one of the great points in pickling and preserving Is thoroughly to exclude the air. THE CONGRESSMAN SHUT IP. From the New York Journal. ' The last time Congressman Bailey, of Texas, was In New York, he had business on lower Broadway. As he went down on a cable cur the conductor shouted out "Houston!" with the pronounciatlon given to that name in these parts. Bailey looked at a lamp post. "You mean 'Houston. ' " sold Bailey, don't you? The conductor without look ing at him said: "I know my business." "If part of your business la to call out the streets properly," suld Bailey quiet ly, "then you don't know It. The street we just passed Is not called Houston." as you gave It, but 'Hooston," for Gen eral Sam Houston, the liberator of Texas. If you even went to Texas und talked about Sam 'Howstont,' you'd be lucky to escape lynching." "If I went to Texas," said the conduc tor, who was born on Sixth avenue, and who never was farther away from the city than Coney Island, "I'd deserve any thing they gave me." Bailey said noth ing, for he did not know the answer to (his discourteous suggestion. Her Rich Blood. "Felicia!" "UeialJ !" The rich blood suffused her cheek. That whs more tliun he could say. None of his blood had been rich since his great grandfather, the Duke of Woodetiham, had tried to break the bank at Monte Carlo. Detroit Tribune. If the Baby Is Cutting Teeth.
