Ir. l'.cnjnuiiii I'rank liu, there Is a little story aliout his wo men folks that is interesting Just now. When the call came for more bodily necessities for the troops of the devolu tion, it was the women of the country who were most concerned, and it was the women of Philadelphia who went first to work. Mrs. Bache. the (laughter of Dr. Franklin, couldn't hear this call for clothes for her country's soldiers with out feeling that something should lie done, and at once. Men were -tl-tioiiing a not too affluent congress to irive money to cover the soldiers' Uni tes In the fearful winters and awful suns, but Mrs. Itaebe decided that while money was being begged for the women could work. So she got the first cloth, and with ber own bands cut out the very first underwear that went to Mr. Washing ton's troops. So xeited were the other la. lies over this that when she called a jsewing bee they eagerly rcsouded and cut and sewed and chattered and dreaded to hear news with all the ardor of loyal w-onieu. A century passed almost a century and the bugle souuded to arms ga!n. The civil war was on. The cry was for clothes, clothes for the soldiers. "Where are the women?" cried the au thorities. "They are ready." answered Mrs. Du&ne of Philadelphia, granddaughter u Dr. Rcnjaiiiin Franklin, and she cut out the first batch of underclothes Kent to the soldiers fighting for the I'uion. She was the daughter of the Deb orah of the devolution, and she pick ed up the practical threads of loyalty as quickly as her mother had done and was first, in the field. When the Spanish-American wax broke out. Mrs. dillcspie, the great granddaughter of Dr. Fraukliu and the daughter of Mrs. Duane, organized the first sewing class in this city to cut and send underclothes for our troops In camp aud field. Isn't this an Interesting record aud coincidence of Dr. Franklin's women folks? Philadelphia Press. llata aal ;ivra Off la ( aarrk. In Kochcster they are not going to le outdone by Chicago, and they have -oue the enthusiastic Chicagoaus one lietter iu the matter of church dress, aud in one church they are taking a Maud against both bats and gloves. The Rochester man, it seems, does not take kindly to rhurch going, either, and the path must be made pleasant and easy for him, and even t hornless millinery roses must not be put In his lath. "The reform." a Rochester paper Hates, "was Instituted for the sole jmrpose of accommodating the men of the congregation or" to compromise a little "taoac who might have fo sit behiud a targe bat." No one could possibly take exception to glaves as distracting the preacher's attention or ollructing the view of the recalcitrant niau. There are only jccasloually a Tew pairs of gloves to le found that could do this, those which are of A violent violet shade, a rigorous green or a i,ry red. Those are worn sometimes by otherwise ap pareutly sane women, but so seldom 'hat it docs not count. The Rochester women do not wear tbcui, evidently, for they have bad to take a rounda bout way to find any possible reason to inae tfce church a place where they can take a slaud against band coverings. The first Idea Is that In t!ie south women do not wear gloves or so they say and why should they, the Roch ester women, do It wheu it is more comfortable not to do so? "As the beated season comes." they put it oi cially to the world aud itossilde prose lytes, "let us also lie sufficiently inde licudent to omit gloves. Many of the ladies are plauniug to do so. At least (ue pair of gloves a season would be raved, aud if. thereby, the Uiln would make a glove missionary fund, wore than $100 could be given for the conversion of the world." It is tkat liale missionary clause which they have bunted up to enable them to bring tke'non glove wearing action into church. The only trouble about this U that they may be out of IKK'ket If the women who save tLdr glove money should forget to put it iu the missionary box. for they have begun by having no bat. no glove wearing circulars printed for free dis tribution. New York Tinim. A --- af Orlslaal fw Vaaiaa, Justin McCarthy in bis Remiuis cences," published by Harper & Bros., relates the following anecdote of sn ardent champion of "woman's rights:" "I can ouly say," writes Mr. Mc Carthy, "that 1'y far the majority of the women whom I knew as leading f-ponenia uf the movement were wo men of high character and education, aiinwn of Intelligence and xoerieoee.

I can recall to my memory one such woman of whom I never heard anything that was not good, but of whom I may fair'.v say that. If some artist on the staff of I'u-eb had been asked to make a (Iran !ng of the type 'Woman's Rights Woman of America, he would without further suggestion have rr-diu-ed from his own imagination a very fair likeness of the lady whom I have in my mind. "I rciiicniU r that my wife and I once happened to l-e traveling -comirtinions with this lady In the railway from New York to Chicago. The fair creature of whom I was sieakiug was prepar ing to get Into ber berth, and while do ing so was discoursing to s on the so cial iositioti of women. "I am not one of those.' she said, in her kindly didac tic manner, 'who would deny to wom en the right to make herself pleasing to man. I am not one of those who would forbid to women the indulgence in any of the pretty, harmless affectations which are common to her sex;' and here, with the utmost absence of any pretty affectation, she removed the greater portion of her hair and hung it ou a hook altove her bead and then proi-eeded to draw on a heavily drilled nightcap." 11 IVaa't D It Asala. iKiwu iu Fountain county.

Chicago Chronicle. Where the Milk Weat. Here Is a true story, and how It evr escaied the lady's press agent Is i mystery too deep to solve. The lady herself is a variety artist famous for her lieauty. One of her little eccen tricities is to buthe in several gallons of milk every day. The chambermaid at a small hotel where the lieauty was staying uot long since waxed Indig uant when she saw the milk arrive every morning and .earned the use to which it was put. The more she thought about it the more indignant she grew, and she told the other guests, who lnt lied In plain wator. what she thought of a person who could fill her bathtub with milk when so many poor people were starviug. "Well, what i done with the milk when Miss has had her bath?" asked some one. "Is U tl.tvwn avaj? "No, it Isn't," said the chamliermaid decisively. "It was the first few mornings, but I see to it that it does souse good now. I scud it down to the back yard, and then I call all the cats iu the town to breakfast, and they come too! Why, they Just prowl around on the fences aud in the trees and wait for that bathtub! They don't know why we are so kind to them all of a sudden, poor things, and, though she gives me more 'work ami trouble than any one on my floor, I'll tie sorry wheu she goes on account of those cats."

It was uot so very long ago that men were protesting against the taste of women who insisted upon exposing to unkind criticism necks that ought. In common cliarity. to have been wholly hidden frjm view. There was even vague rumors that low necked gowns were falling into disfavor lie (ause they intensified the ugliness of plain women who could not have even the satisfaction of a pretty neck to con. le them. Those days have gone, never to re turn, if women keep to the sensible course they have adopted. We may uot all have perfect necks, for per fection means well rouuded shoulders, white and fine skin and not a sus picion of a hollow near the collar lsmes. We may, however, develop a neck that will pass creditably by a simple set of exercises practiced 15 minutes uight aud morning. Push the arms straight out in front of the body four times, aud then cliauge the move ment, throwing the arms straight up in the air the same number of times. Change again aud throw them out from the side, and finally backward, always with the shoulders thrown back, head erect aud chin well In. This exercise will fill out the hollows and give a charming contour. Phila delphia Times. The Triak I attirella.

It is nothing more or less than a fold ing umbrella, one that doubles con veniently in the middle of the cane aud can lie gently laid in the tray of an ordinary trunk.

The Introduction by the Americans tf the Mother HubborJ to the little girls of Porto Rl-o was a perfectly nat ural step to I' UVea and only follow ed the precedent of earlier historical effort In the way of rlothiug. It has never teen generally known where the Mother Hubbard originated. It is a comfortable garment, uot altogether l-eautiful. Public opinion has been raised against It In times past, and its too common use haa been talmued by popular taste. The origin of the gown, which makes It so appropriate for the Porto Rlcau children, was in Honolulu, where the missionaries In the early days designed it for the native belles. It had many advantages, the chief among them being that it was light and cool and easy to make, as Hono lulu maidens were not skilled In nee dlework. History does not state wheth er the gown receive-.! Its name hi Hon olulu In those early days, but undoubt edly It did. The missionaries devoting their lives to the work of doing good to others, had but little time for read ing outside their religious books, but they were all of them familiar with the classic works of Mother Gxse. The Mother Hubbard of her annals was an eminently resiicctnMe dame, and iu the luire state of her closet she sulliciently resembled the Improvident Honolulu dames to make her name seem to the uot too critical missiona ries a very acceptable one for the new ly Invented frock for the tropics. New York Tiu:es. A Woman 'a "Delias Rest." With the American woman's m.inl.l for organization it is a wouder that we have no "cycllug rests" des'ginil especially and particularly for the wheel woman. The lonely woman, pedaling her weary way almut the country, does not care to stop for rest and refreshment, uo matter how weary she may be. at wayside hos'.d ries full of "Jolly good fellows," who think any womau on a bicycle and aloue Is "fair game" to flirt with.

New York Commercial Advertiser. l aleaa Toa Love II 1m. Intimate acquaintance, congeniality of taste nnd purposes, resiHt t. aduii latioii, material and social advance ment all these tuny appeal at a time to the young woman or the young man as furnishing the possible material for a prosperous venture Into matrimony. Rut to those of us who are on this side of the Miarrled life, with years of ex perience to give us insight, there never was a greater fallacy. Resect and ad miration may do for friendship; mar riage absolutely demands love. You rememlier that vhen the Atostle Peter sums up the qualities that go to make the perfect Christian character he does uot begin by urging the necessity of faith. He assumes Its existence at the start. He says. "Add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge." It Is as if he uftiuld have us know that faith is not to be regarded simply as an adornment to ihe Christian character. It Is a prerequisite. It Is the atmos phere in which the Christian life has its breath nnd being. So It is with love when the time comes to settle the pravest question of life. Pittsburg Dispatch.

Statistics have lieeu taken In France tt the spread of the habit of smoking, aud it has bivu discovered that withiu the last year the cigarette and even, astonishing as it may upiH-ar. the pipe have found an enormous increase iu their female votaries. The fashion of smoking auiona women is uo louger confined to the secrecy of a private room. The Ituchess de I'zes aud the Marchioness tie l:i Rochefoucauld now publicly take a cigarette after dinner, and whatever these ladies permit themselves may safely be taken as a sign of the highest bonmot.
