View of tho Amcricnn Woman's
Needs.
From tho Sun.
"Is woman, degenerating1 physically
or Is she Browing stronger?" la u ques
tion often heard. Dr. Savage, the head
of the Physical Development Institute,
elves the answer that woman is Brow
ing stronger, and that tho next gener
atlon will give full evidence of the fact.
"Health is the essential irnrt of a
woman's life as well as of a man's," he
said. "Women are taking tip many
forms of exercise and are playing many
games that long were erroneously
thought to belong exclusively to men.
Ten years ago, or even later, It was re
garded as most unladylike for a wo
man to go In for any physical develop
ment. Today sho moves bettor nnd
walks more freely, as If she had some
life and vim in her. A generation will
show' a Vast difference In the develou
ment of the sex. Recently I saw nn
exhibition given by a crowd of girls in
Boston, and I was delighted by the
strength and freedom of motlcn demon
strated. "What those girls did hun
dreds and hundreds of girls and wo
men are doing, and it Is a hopeful sign.
Take the matter of games. Women
play olf and lawn tennis with as much
enthusiasm nnd benefit ns do men.
They wheel, though I don't think much
of bicycling for women, nnd every
where they are playing basket ball.
They certainly could not do all this
unless they were strong nnd healthy.
"Tho glrl3 nnd women who come hero
want to do everything that tho men do.
They can't yet, however, for they have
lost toq much time. My experience Is
that tho'dlfference that has been made
in tho physical training of men and
women Is far greater than necessary.
Boys nnd girls should be brought up
alike as to active life. "We find that the
healthiest girls are those who have fol
lowed their brothers.
"A great improvement In dress has
done much to better woman's physical
condition. The wasp vraist is a thing
of the past, looked on with contempt
rather than admiration. Soon peoplo
will como to admire the healthy form
of Venus do Mllo. Tho cards of ex
amination in the leading female col
leges and schools show that woman's
form Is approaching that type. To my
mind there Is no doubt that women ns
a class are growing stronger Individ
ually." ONE WOMAN'S OPINION.
Miss Genevieve Stebblns, ono of the
principals of tho New York School of
Expression, has given tho best years of
her life to the study or tho physical
culture of woman. Her pet scheme has
been to combine the various systems of
gymnastics, from the Swedish move
ments of "Ling" to the aesthetic exer
cises of Delsarte, so as to give the
highest possible results In health,
strength, and Brace. When asked
whether she thought woman was grow
ing stronger or weaker physically. Miss
Btebblns replied:
"I've had pupils from every state In
the Union. They go out and secure
pupils for themselves, and I keep in
constant touch with them, so I feel
prepared to make a sweeping answer to
this question. I'm not speaking now of
my pupils alone.nor even confining my
self to New York women. I'm speak
ing of the women of every one of tho
United States when I say that tho
middle class and the higher classes are
growing stronger, but there is a class
between these two that Is growing
weaker and more nervous, Physical
development is a fad with tho rich and
fashionable; tho middle class have
foun,d It a necessity, and both are
Btronger for It. The class between, tho
women who live In boarding houses and
family hotels and have nothing to do
but stir around and envy the rich nnd
strive to be fashionable, are degener
ating. "We teach society work and normal
work for teachers and platform read
ers, and In this way have opportunity
to watch the development of tho two
classes. For five years I've taught an
immense class of society women from'
forty-five to sixty years of age, and the
nrsi ining tnat 1 teuch them to do is
to' He flat on the lloor and learn how to
breathe. All of our pupils are taught
how to breathe, walk, talk, and sleep,
and when they know how to do those
four things they know how to do a
great deal. Now the fact that the feet
nnd waists of the women of these two
classes are much larger shows that
they are taking more exercise and do
ing more breathing. Emotional breath
ing Is done In the upper chest, but or
dinary breathing cornea from below tho
bust line; therefore a woman must be
properly clothed to breathe properly.
As I went through the art galleries of
Europe I wondered what tho statues
did to get Into such positions, I made
up my mind after Imitating them nnd
taking the statue poses that their mag
nlflceU poses all came from the trunk
of t)ie body and that they could not
possibly be assumed without proper
breathing. So, ever since, I've gone on
increasing my chest work, for, after all,
the chest lo tha al storehouse of vital
ity. "Wo think as we breathe and
breathe as vqj think. Women are
breathing better and they are thinking
better. Therefore, they are growing
stronger, not only physically, but men
tally. Every woman wno Increases her
lung capnclty.maklng tho lungs hungry
for air, will 'reach better habits or
thinking. Fear, anxiety, and nervous
ness have very little breath. Courage,
hope, ambition, heroism, philanthropy,
una altruism are tuu-lireathed. In
i thinking there is hardly any breathing.
aEyery exercise that a woman takes
mould bo breathed oven if it Is no more
jthan lifting the leg. She would be as-
Ionisnea at the wonderful amount of
hest development that follows tho
oftest motion if It is first breathed. As
Said before. WOmen Of th Tilvlmr nlna
land the middle class are giving heed to
Ithelr physical well beln. and tho Ideas
given mem uy teacher who havo the
subject at heart ar founded on physi
ology ami psyenotoffy, t,ue j3 being
made real to them; they arc looking nt
everything from Its real aspect.
"Tho trotiblo with the class between
Is that life Is artificial with them. There
can be no physlcnl or mental growth
under such a condition. Tho contented
women arc those who belong to the nr
Istocracy of thought, and look at things
as they arc and nre not envious. Such
a woman Is tho real American woman;
tho future of our race lies In her.
Where does she come from? From the
ranks of tho very rich? No. Nor does
she come from the next rank. She
comes from that great middle class, and
every day finds her growing stronger in
every way."
ANOTHER WITNESS.
"Indeed, I do believe that women nro
growing physically stronger every
j ear," snld Mrs. Lawrence, who Is nt
tho head of the physical culture de
partment In tho Horace Manual school
at tho Teachers' college. "Physical
culture Is compulsory In this Institu
tion. No one la excused except, the
girls who nre not physically able to
take the training, or those who como
very long distances. Every Elrl Is
subjected tc a very severe physical ex
amination every year; that examina
tion extends oven to her npecstry. I
nnd individual girls improving every
yenr, nnd they are able to stand much
harder physical and mental work. A
woman physician connected with the
college assists me in examining them,
nnd she says also that the Improve
ment from year to year is wonderful.
A number of my pupils have been
with me three to live years, and I
give them lessons three times ns har.l
as the beginners of their own age can
tnke. This Is the only gymnasium in
the city where boys and girls can be
seen working together, and It gives us
a good chance to Judge of their reln
tivo physical powers. Wo find that
the girls df more accurate work, but
tho boys arc quicker nnd stronger.
This Is true even of tho very young
children In the primary department.
These little boys and bIHs do all their
work together, and one would think
that there would be no difference in
relative strength, but the boys are
stronger. This Is because no matter
how small a boy Js he is allowed to
play outdoors. Then even very little
girls nre hampered with dress.
"Physical culture Is supposed to be
taught In tho public schools, and It Is
taught In nearly nil fashionable board
ing schools. True, in some of the lat
ter tho teachers permit tho pupils to
take their exercises In long skirts and
corsets, but most of them give the les
sons In tho evening and require the
girls to wear 'gym' suits. Here no boy
or girl is allowed on the lloor of the
gymnasium In other than gymnastic
dress. Women are dressing much
more hyglenlcally than they did, any
how, and this, with Increased outdoor
and gymnastics exercise, Is gradually
giving them strong physiques. My
ambition Is that this college shall not
accept a candidate for a teacher's di
ploma unless she comes up to the phy
sical requirements. Let the sick teach
ers go somewhere else for their diplo
mas I say."
DR. SHRADY TALKS.
"There Is no reason why woman
shouldn't be as healthy as man," said
Dr. George F. Shrady, "but she Is not.
The majority of sick people are among
women. They have earned for them
selves the title of the weaker sex. Wo
man is far more responsive and conse
quently more excitable than man, nnd
loss of vitality always follows undue
excitement. This very responsiveness
In her nature, which makes her so dear
to man, Invites fatigue instead of sat
isfactory exhilaration. Take tho soci
ety woman, for an example. She goes
to excess in everything. Pleasure be
comes the hardest kind of work to her.
'Slio goes nil day and far Into the night,
and the next morning she Is apt to
waste hours In bed when she ought to
be up getting tho fresh air. She turns
night Into day, cheats herself out of her
breakfast, and compromises by taking
a meal at midnight, upsetting the
rhythm of nature. The best sleep is ob
tained before midnight, between tho
hours of 10 nnd 12, nnd food is at the
bottom of all regeneration. So what
right has she to expect anything but
physical degeneration.
"On the other hand, the shop girl Is
anxious to make a record, to bo pro
moted, nnd she overstrains. The Intel
lectual woman works Inordinately, and
so it goes. Slio is so responsive that
she even goes to excess In taking exer
cise. It's always 'Just one dance more,'
or 'let's wheel a few more miles,' or
'skate around a few more times,' and
Instead of stopping when they are
merely exhilarated nnd In a condition
to bo physically benefited, she goes on
until she Is almost exhausted. Woman
Isn't weaker because her constitution
Is degenerate, but because she doesn't
take care of hej-self,
"Tho most perfect woman physically
Is the most ierfect home keeper. Her
only worry is to make her homo
healthy and happy for herself and to
give health and happiness to her child
ren. When sho sticks to that, her
highest function, sho enjoys the pleas
ures that come to such a home ration
ally, nnd does not throw tho harmony
of her physical nnd mental being out
of gear. Tho mediocre woman Is on a
level physically and mentally with tho
medlocro man. Ho makes the homo and
sho gets tho pleasuro out or it for
tho family. Ho Is tho worker; she Is'
the general sympathizer. The greatest
need in the naturo of man is the com
plements support or a true woman,
and that of woman Is the help of a
strong man. Women nro intuitive; men
reason. Women develop him by oppo
sition. John L. Sullivan told me, when
he held the championship of the world,
that the first success of a prize fighter
depended upon his ability to take
blows, not to give them. Every man
Is u prize fighter in tho sense that his
success depends upon his ability to
take his punishment In this world, and
many who have succeeded would have'
failed If they had not had women, with
their wonderful sympathetic respon
siveness nnd natural Intuition, to turn
to. This takes as much strength from
woman as tho punishment does from
tho man. That's an old figure about
tho Ivy and the oak, but It's a good
one, A big wind storm comes, and
the strong cak trembles and would fall
were It not for tho delicate Ivy twined
around it, stradylng It until tho storm
has spent Itself.
"It requires a woman of steady nerve
to keep healthy in tho enticing environ
ments of today, and women generally
are becoming more rational. They are
beginning to see that It Is worth while
to be healthy. They see that they can
enjoy themselves better If they nre
well; that they havo more appltlte for
work and pleasure if they are physi
cally Sound. If a woman wants any
art, let her mix the colors of her home
picture. That's what the women of
America need to look after their
homes, take tho pleasures and exer
cises that come Into a. rational life
and a raco of strong women, In the
truest sense of the word, will follow."

Wnshing Flannels.
From tho New York Tribune.
Regarding tho washing of flannels, tho
first caro Is that they do not shrink.
They should bo washed on a bright day
and dried ns quickly as possible. Shake
all dust and lint out first. Prepare two
tubs of water as hot as hand can bear
comfortably, putting enough dissolved
soap in ono to make a strong suds. To
every three gallons of water allow ono
tnblespoonful of borax or two tablespoon
fuls of household ammonia, which, al
though equally cleansing, Is moro apt to
leave a yellow tinge. Put tho flannels In
tho suds, and wash by sopping up and
down Instead of rubbing. Squeczo from
this and rlnso In second tub, whose water
must bo of the same temperature. If you
like a llttlo bluing this may bo ndded to
a third tub of water, also of tho same
temperature. Put through wringer and
dry In open nlr. Before qulto dry take In,
fold and roll In a clean cloth nnd iron aa
soon as possible with a moderately hot
Iron, depending moro upon a good deal
of pressure.
For colored flannels have fresh, hot
suds. Never uso yellow soap on flannels
on account of tho resin. Colored calicoes
should bo washed In warm water, not hot.
Tho ideal way to treat dcllcnto colors,
dark satins or mourning goods Is not to
uso soap at all, but a starch mixture,
which cleanses and stiffens at tho same
time.
The Turn-Over Collar.
The turn-over inch of linen collar has
been fashionable on "tailor-mades" and
blouses, and the idea Is now carried out
in velvet and lace. Apropos, chokers aro
less elaborato even on dressy costumes
thnn they were, but there is still a great
scope for original effects.
An Odd Story.
Oh, bright was tho day when they sailed
away
On tho matrimonial seal
They wcro happy as they could bo.
And from the distant isles In a far-off bay,
Tho wind blow strong and free.
Sweet sprays of orange-bloom hung on
high,
And tho sails of laco were made.
Whllo these were tho stores, 'tis said:
Cream puffs and angel-food, honey and
pie,
Kisses and tr-armalade.
Tho spars wero .silver, tho decks wero
pearl,
Tho anchor a wedding-ring of gold,
Twns a beautiful craft, I'm told,
And llfo was fair for tho slim young girl,
And tho husband bravo and bold.
But a cloud, alas! camo o'er tho sky,
And a storm on the sunny seas,
(All meatphors, If you please)
When the husbandVlshod that Instead of
plo
They had brought tome bread and
cheese.
(And ho thought he could manage the til
ler best,
Whllo sho wanted her own sweet way,
And vowed that no man who'd obey.
Of ccurso, thoy quarreled, and as for the
ask tho ocean spray.
But I hoard today (oh, this gossipy place!)
That tho beach is strown clear down.
From here to tho nearest town
With orange bloioms ami tattered lace
And bits of a satin gown!

How would you girls like to chango
places with your staid German cous
ins? You who find life Just a trllle dull,
despite lawn tennis nnd golf parties,
bicycling nnd wnlking expeditions, per
haps even nn occasional run up to town
for a peep at tho new fashions nnd to
see the latest s.uccess on the boards!
You would find a German girl's coun
try life tedious to a deBree, writes a
correspondent to the London Chronicle.
On tho other side of the German ocean
illrtatlon must not be dreamt of. Golf,
with Its happy wanderings o'er hills
nnd dale, Is unknown; lawn tennis, If
plnycd with mixed couples, must have
strlqt chaperons; bicycling Is an nil but
unfttthomed mystery, nnd a run to Ber
lin beyond the wildest dreams of tho
German provincial, whose fondest
hopes carry her no further than tho
nearest market town.
The llfo of the average provincial girl
Is but at best a state of vegetation a
dally round of little nothings. Insig
nificant and constantly recurring, make
up the sum of lfe. Plensures are few
and far between, and sought almost
entirely among her own sex. She Is
very lucky when she succeeds In uer
suadlng her chaperon to take her to
the regimental Exerclrplatz of course
nearly every little German town Is gar
risoned. A shopping expedition In tho after
noon Is nn exercise for a further
glimpse of the ofllcers on their way to
their "casino," where they mess at 5 p.
m. This does not forward' friendship
grently, for no man would dare to
speak to a young unmarried lady, how
ever well acquainted with her he might
be, unless she were accompanied by a
chaperon.
ONE SOLEMN FUNCTION.
Sometimes the nfternoon may be var
ied by a kaffee klatsch (literally mean
ing a "coffee clash, or noise") a some
what mysterious term, which describes
the affairs most adequately and excel
lently, A prim little Invitation Is sent
to perhaps half a dozen unmarried
girls, who reply with due regard to the
strictest rules of a kaffee klatschcn eti
quette. At 4 o'clock precisely the vis
itors arrive. After divesting them
selves of hats and cloaks they aro ush
ered Into a big, bare and somewhat
dingy room of which the principal piece
of furniture1 is a large, funereal, nnd
distinctly awe-Inspiring sofa with no
softly-cushioned corners or back such
as our modern Chesterfield boasts to
lure the weary visitor to sinking far in
its luxurious depths. No, this Is rather
a disciplinarian sofa as well as the
place d'honneur! On It Is always to be
found the giver of the entertainment,
and with due solemnity the eldest and
most honored guest is Installed by her
side. Woe to the unwary foreigner
wh'o unwittingly usurps the seat!
Now the fun begins a bright-faced
llttlo Dienstmadchen who probably
answers to the name of Doretta, ap
pears carrying the steaming coffee and
an. array of cakes calculated to strike
a chill to the heart of. the most cour
ageous sweet tooth. "Baumkuchen,"
"Apfelkuchen," "Pllaumtorte," und so
welter nre handcO around until each
guest's plate is stocked with, a speci
men of every kind It Is counted a
breach of courtesy to decline any ono
of tho collection. Tho tongues wag
fast and furiously, since for once the
little German girl Is free from elderly
supervision, even the young old maid
having been rigorously excluded from
theso gatherings. No sooner Is the
first installment of cakes and coffee
consumed than there arrives as an
other course warm custard with com
potes and more kuchen. Further re
lays follow with but little pauses until
a quarter before 8, when, as a stirrup
cup, the company Is invited to take
sweet home-made wine. At 8 o'clock,
with many expressions of good will
and gratitude, the party disperses, and
the guests depart and take their sev
eral wava home to bed and bllllous
attacks? No; to supper or uncooked
fish and pumpernickel.
ON SUNDAY.
Aa on the continent generally, so '.n
Germany, Sunday Is the day par ex
cellence for merrymaking. The quaint
llttlo Lutheran church, with its green,
needlelike spire and handsome majoli
ca tiles nrul dados, claims attend-inco
but once a day. When service is over
all adjourn to the M'arktplatz, where
tho regimental band discourses sweet
music to an admiring throng com
posed alike of military grandecs.burgh
ers, and tradcspc-ople. Then Is the
little German girl's heart In a wild
llutter of excitement, for Herr von
Lieut. Kraussmann may be there, and,
since tho sun shines brightly and the
skies aro blue, It is possible that ho
may ask mamma's person to Invite a
few young people to a. picnic under her
protection. A picnic Is but a simple
matter. A dozen of tho ofllcers, per
haps, arrange to walk out of some lit
tle restaurant prettily situated In the
woods, taking with them a young as
sessor and rechtsanwnlt (advocate) or
so. Arrived at the rendezvous, they do
their part ol tho catering, wh'lch con
sists of ordering coffee and chocolate,
to be ready at the coming of the ladles.
Theso arrive In a large wagonette,
every girl generally being attended by
her own special chaperon, except when
some more than usually lenient moth
er has entrusted her daughter to a
neighbor's care. Tho ladies supply tho
substantial part of tho feast, bringing
with them sweet cake and fruit tarts,
etc. At tho end of this al fresco meal
the plcknlckers rise and stroll gener
ally through the wood, homeward
bound. No delightful little solitude a
deux, such as Is the custom at English
picnics, and no lagging behind are
countenanced by those sternly con
scientious German matrons. It re
quires great dexterity to exchange a
whispered word that is not overheard
by those sliarp-cared duennas.
To conclude tho entertainment tho
evening la perhaps spent in a little
blergarten, where, seated on little
wooden benches at small wooden tables,
ladles as well n men enjoy their sldel
(tankard) of lager. At first it certain
ly striken ono as somewhat Incongru
ous to see a well-dressed, dainty-looking
girl lifting a hugo tankard with
both hands and with much gusto tak
ing a long draught from its foamlns
contents.
So ends one of the few exciting days
in a German girl's calendar. From the
blergarten the ladles nro ceremonious
ly escorted to th'elr homes, and with
profound bows, salutes, nnd sharp
clicking of heels the Gorman ofllccrs
bid adieu 1
NEW RECIPES.
TO TAKE OUT GREASE. To tako
grenso out of dress goods got from your
druggist a plcco of French chalk with
n penknife, scr.ipo off enough of lino dust
to cover well tho sclled spots, and lay
tho garment nwny carefully for some
hours a day or two, pcrhahs then shake
or brush It off gently. If the spots are
not entirely removed, repeat tho process.
I know of nothing moro effective.
HICKORY NUT CAKK.-Two cups sug
ar, one cut) butter. Cream, butter and
sugar together. Ono cup sweet inl)k, four
cups flour with ono teaspoonful sodn, one
tcaspoonful cream tartar sifted In the
flour; ono iplnt nuts, ono cup raisins,
whites of elx eggs; ndd the eggs last of
nil. You can omit the raisins and put
moro nuts In If liked.
ICE-CREAM CANDY, Ono cup granu
lated sugar, ono-thlrd cup water, tea
spoonful butter; boll all together fifteen
minutes. Do rot stir. Tako from lire.
odd teaspoonful vanilla and beat till Ilka
dough.
TO STRETCH A SIIOE.-Put tho shoo
on, and with a brush dipped In very hot
water wot the portion that hurts. Do not
keep them on lar.g at ono time at first.
SHOE-FLY PIES.-Ono cup molasses,
one and one-half cups water, ono tea
spoon of eoda, stir altogether and pour
In tho crust. Have ready mixed one cup
of sugar, three of flour, two table-spoonfuls
of butter or lard, mix together and
crumb In the first.
CREAM TOAST. There are mapy reci
pes, but If It Is to bo palatable caro must
bo taken to toast tho bread Just right.
Cut from a stalo loaf five slices of med
ium thickness nnd placo them In a hot
oven, allowing them to remain until heat
ed through and almost ready to brown;
then tako them out and brown them
quickly over a bed of coals. Whllo the
bread 13 heating In tho oven cut six
tablespoonfuls of thick sweet cream over
tho flro to scald. Lay tho bread as It is
finished on a hot dish, spread evenly over
it tho hat cream, sprinkle over It one
third saltspoonful of talt nnd send to tho
table pip lng hot.
TAPIOCA JELLY.-Wnsh one-fourth or
a ipound of tapioca In cold water, put It
over a slow 11 ro In sulllclent water to reach
2 Inches abovo it. Cook slowly, stirring
oven to prevent burning. If the water Is
absorbed beforo tho tapioca Is cooked add
a half cupful of cold water, a llttlo at a
time, so ai to keep It moist. When only
very small particles, whlto are visible In
tho grains of tapioca add ono pint of any
kind of fruit Julco or tho syrup from
canned or preserved fruit. When this has
been absorbed turn tho tapioca Into a
Jelly bowl and set on Ice. If tho fruit
Julco Is not sweet enough add sugar to
It to mako the tapioca palatable. Phila

MOTHERHOOD.
Good-by, llttlo boy, good-by.
I had never thought or this,
That some, day I'd vainly sigh

Puttitifr the baby
to bed Is the good
night joy of a hap
py day to a healthy
mother, Mnny
mothers delegate
this motherly duty
to a -nurse. Some
mothers hardly see
life
their baby the live
long day. This it
not necause tney
arc without moth-er-lovc
or the nat
ural impulses of a
womanly woman.
it is oecausc or
their own lit
health and broken
nerves, and be
cause baby I also
slcklvandnrevish.
This unfortunate state of afTiirs might have
been avoided had the mother, during the
period of expectant motherhood, taken the
light care of the delicate organs that make
maternity possible. A woman should al
ways keep these important organs well nnd
strong. Her own health and that of her
child depend upon it.
The best medicine for prospective moth
ers is Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription. It
makes healthy and strong the organs that
bear the burdens of maternity. It cures all
disease nnd weakness. It makes comfort
able the period preceding motherhood and
renders the advent of baby easy and nearly
painless. It insures a healthy child. The
pains and suffering that women endure, ns
a result of weakness of the distinctly wo.
iiianly organism, vanish under its use. All
good druggists sell it. There is nothing'
else "just as good."
" I want to tell yon," writes Mrs, N. A. Thomaa,
of 400 Pulakl Street, Little Rock, Ark., "that my
daughter, Sirs. r,awrence, who Uvea In Texar
kana, Ark., had been under the doctor's care fa
four years. I lately sent her word to try tht
medicine which cured me, Dr. tierce's Favorite
Prescription, and I have iustrVearrt that it hat
done her mare good thau nil the doctors."
