Can'tiiUer Is a word adopted Into modern U9e aud means one who takes care of, and Is very generally applied to those employed to take care ot tlilu? committed to their keeping. The way ome people have of tak ing care of fliemselves Is very sngpestive of the need of a caretaker. The human body to such Is a mansion filled with precious things uneared for, where thieves may break in and rust doth corrupt. Pains and aehes are thieves, and the body left un eared for to their spoilage will be robbed of all Its comforts ami despoiled of Its peace ot mind and happiness. It Is a happy thought to look upon Ht. Jacobs OH as a caretaker, to employ it as a watchman agaiust such Int ruders.

It now turns ont that there was no iruth in the published story about the lycling performance of the young itieen of Holland. She never bought or. was presented with a bicycle. In '.net, she is understood nut to approve f cycling for women. But she does lot wish to put any constraint npon thers in this respect, and so, cycling eing much in vogue at tho Magne, adics of the court freely practise the iport. Gentle Art of llluahlng. One of the Infest additions to tlie inrriculum of a Parisian school of de portment is a department for instruc tion in the gentle art of blnshing. This would seem to point the way to ihe passing of the end of the century irl who is above such things. One of ;he pupils declares it is easy to droop tho eyes and to affect bashfulnesH. But it is not, she adds, easy to blnsh. The latter, indeed, seems to be one of the lost arts. The Ripple Collar. The newest collar is the one known is "ripple," which really does not ripple any more than those of last year, tt differs from the old collar in that it Bts snugger to the neck, and yet has Ihe same effect of flaring which it had. f the collar flares too much it loses in warmth, and yet it is the flare which !s becoming to most faces. An ingen ious maker of fur garments bas obviated this difficulty by making the collar lightly more flaring, and then catch ing it in plaits about two inches wide it regular intervals. The plait is not evident except npon close inspection, and yet the collar has the effect of be ing extremely fall, at the same time itanding up snng and trim around the neck so as hardly to require fastening in front. Turkish Girls. Turkish girls of the betterclass in the cities, after they are too old to at tend the primary schools, are largely educated at home by governesses, many of whom come from England and France, but. unfortnnately, do not al ways represent the highest culture of these nations, so that the real love of study is not as a rule, developed un der their influence. Turkish women have a great aptitude for foreign lan guages, and those met on the steamers of the Bosphorus often speak French, and it is not unusual for them to speak German and English also. It is a well-known fact that many Turkish women we engaged m trade, some even carryiug on an extensive business, involving frequent journeys to Egypt and other places, which pre supposes the ability to read and write, as well as some knowledge of aritume tic. Moreover, conversation with the Mussulman woman in the capital re veals some progress at the present time in independence of thought, and, while social conditions have unavoida bly arrested the development of Tur kisli women as a class, forces are slowly but Bitrely working among them that will result in their hnal emaucipa lion. An Economical Princess, Though always elegantly aud per feotly dressed, the Princess of Wales by no means errs on the side of ex travagance. Her Royal Highness has beeu known to wear a gown three sue cessive seasons wheu it suited her, and remained fresh aud handsome. For instance, at the opening of the People's Palace at Wbitechapel, the Princess wore a striking jacket of olive-greeu velvet, brocaded with small ripe red strawberries. Thero could be no mistaking so dis tinctive a stuff, and it was recognized by a. woman who had seen the Princess in Ireland two summers before, as one that had beeu worn at several func tions in that country. The style had been altered somewhat, but there was the same splendid fabric doing its thorough economical duty. Her Koyal Highness's iufluence, too, has ever been against excess in fashion. She has always refused to patronize very wide skirts, balloon-like sleeves or huge over-trimmed headgear. SVheu ordering new gowns, colored pictures of them, back and front, as they should look when finished, with scraps of the proposed materials and trimmings attached, are submitted for the Princess's approval, aud it is a very usual occurrence for the Priucoss to take her own brush or pencil and alter the pictures to please her excel lent taste. The gowns are fitted on a model of her own figure, and the work women do not see her at all, unless considerable alterations nre necessary, iiia c. eve:-u:isa hui made it so cr Uiu just what Her Koyal Highness wants, that a personal interview is needless. Loudon Figaro. Art ilrl. In Pails. A young American, who, heaped with honors, has jubt returned from Parit, told me, greatly to my surprise, thut she thought it an idle and unwise plan for girls to go abroad to study art until they had beeu drilled into the fundamental work at home. She gave me ever so many reasons for this, but that which seemed to her the strongest, was the fact that Paris is full of Americau women who, not having had their abilities tented at home, have gone there only to find that years uud years of uphill worl lie before them, with no prospects at the end. For that which they thought to be talent iu themselves has proved, wheu taken to the other side, to be but a flimsy affair not worth cultivat ing for bieud-wiuniug purposes. With the poverty belonging to most of these women, suffering is inevitable, and this buffering, she argues, is best endured at home, where the young girl is near her family or her friends, aud where the many forms of compli cated miseries incident to a life alone in Paris are spared them miseries easy to endure aud accepted without question if success lie aheud, and one is assured of possessing real talent and power, but miseries thut cut into the soul of one and destruv the finer libera if endured for ends never possi ble of attainment. The mere cost of living may be cheaper in Paris, but the advantages to be derived among ns for foundation work outbalance all other questions. One must have 8"0 a month to live iu Paris. With rigid economy $25 may be made to sutliee for ouo"s personal expenses. The other $25 must be set asido for the purchase of paints and mnterials necessary to her if she means to derive full benefit from her opportunities to work. Harper's --- C.osslp.

The Empress of Austria has taken a dislike to the magnificent Villa Achilleion, which she had built at such a tremendous cost in Corfu, and all the furniture and objects of art which adorned it, including the gigantic statue of the dying Achilles, have been removed to the imperial palace at Vienna. Miss Ellen Nusscy, who was the in timate friend of Charlotte Bronte, died ou November 26, at Gomersal, aged eighty-three years. It was large ly by means of the 400 or more letters written to Jliss Mnssey by (Jharlotte Bronte that Miss Gaskell was able to give the public so much of the life of the author of "Jane Eyre." Mrs. B. N. Perdue, of Fdrt Scott, Kan., was recently drawn by mistake ou the jury of the District Court. She insists on serving, and says that as she voted for Mr. McKinley in Wyoming, she is a "qualified elector, and consequently a competent juror." She believes in woman suffrage, and says she will appeal to the highest courts about her rights as a juror. Fashion Notos. Old-fashioned pink cameos are com ing into vogue again, and the old-time setting is to be retained. Huguenot caps are added to the tops of ninny of the short, full, puffed sleeves of evening bodies. Collars with stole ends are worn by the woman who loves frills. They cau be fashioned by any deft fingers directed by taste. Many of the deiui-traiued dress skirts are cut with nine gores, and at the back some are box-plaited aud others fan-plaited. Tne small pad bustle is now worn with the latest day costumes aud even ing toilets; and those of larger pro portions are announced. The new shirt waists for spring are made up iu the zephyr goods, with pockets, it is said. Instead of but tons many of the prettiest shirtwaists will be laced up with cords. Cravats of white net, mull or liberty silk, trimmed with frills of lace, chiffon or net, are made easily and may be as simple or as elegant as time, skill and purse permit. Owing to their airy daintiness they seem especially suit able for gifts. Among the handsome imported gowns seen at some recent openings, several were of bluck Chuuiilly luce, embroidered with steel or jet sequius aud beads aud made over black satin. It is predicted that lace costumes will be much worn in Paris next year. Pepluuis, which are added to Rus siau blouses, jacket bodices, surplice waiHts ami similar garments, are ahaped in various ways. Some are credelated, others cut iu oval tubs or sharp Vandykes, and also iu circular form, with or without plaits ut the buck. Velvet is iu high favor for smart gowns this season. Corduroy is seen iu Puris, the ribs being wide apart. Some of the swellest cariiugo uud evening wraps have bishop sleeves, quite wide, uud the width equal from I the shoulder to the narrow bauds ut I t.ht. wrists ACRICULTUfmTOPICS. Soiling Oft Poor Mock. As winter approaches every farmer should look over his farm stock and consider what of it will pay best for keeping through until spring. If all that does not come up to the standard is sold to the butcher or otherwise dis posed of, the money for it and the hay or grain required for its winter suste nance will leave the farmer richer in tho spring than if he fed it. Don't try to get high prices for the ppor Btock. There is less loss in disposing 'of it than in keeping it. The farmers' profit, injthese'daya, depends more on the. kind of stock he keeps than on any other factor. Raising Fall Calves. There is a great unwillingness on the part of most dairymen to allow calves dropped in the fnll to reach ma turity. It is really tho greatest ob jection to the extension of winter dairying. That in all rases takes the beHt cows, as no one would think of keeping poor milkers through the win ter, with all the extra trouble that winter dairying involves. But if all the calves of these winter cows are sent to the butcher it must mean a great deterioration of average dairy stock. No ouo should begiu winter dairying unless be has a warm barn, which frost will not enter, in whioh to keep his cows, and succulent feed of some kind to feed them. These are just the conditions for successfully rearing fall farrowed calves. The Apple Maggot. The furrows which you soe in ap ples are due to the presenoe of a worm in the apple, which is the product of an egg laid very early in the growth of the opple by the apple maggot. As the mature insect does not eat the ap ple, but only stiugs it to deposit her egg beneath the skin, it is not likeiy that the maggot can be killed by a poi sonous insecticide. Some success has been had by using an emulsion which is applied before the tree is leaved out. The maggot hatches early in spring and waits without eating until her work in reproducing her bpecies is done. The orchard should be kept as a hog pasture wherever this pest becomes numerous. There are many of these pests in the fallen fruit, and a good lot of hogs will eat this fruit as faBt as it falls to the ground. The in crease of ths pest may thus be pre vented if it cannot be exterminated. Boston Cultivator. Successful Grape drafting. J. I. Fortor, of Ohio, writes: An old Clinton vino stood at the corner of the woodhouse which was so vigorous that its branches spread over every thing within reach, but bore no fruit. In April, 1896 I cut both branches ofT olose to the ground and grafted a Delaware grape into one and an Iona into the other. I used no wax; simply wrapped carefully with strings of cloth, pasted a little mnd over the wound and covered all with earth ex cept the top buds of the grafts. Those grafts made a wonderful growth the first season, owing to tho far-reaching roots of the Clinton vine. At close of the first season the Iona vine was about 18 feet long and the Delaware about 12. This season, with the vines one year old, the Delaware branch bore twenty-four as line bunches of Delaware gropes as I ever saw. The bunches and berries were slightly larger than the Delaware generally grows and so compact on the stems that they conld not be picked off easi ly without beginning at the end of the stem. The Iona branch bore about forty bunches of Ioua grapes of the finest quality. This is a quick way of get ting a grapevine into bearing. . I triod the same experiment ou a wild grape vine down iu the pasture. It grew just as vigorously, but au inquisitive Jersey cow spoiled the experiment. Women Centenarluns. It is an acknowledged fact that a great age is attained by women often er than by men. One of the most famous female centenarians was the Countess of Desmond, who lived to be 145 years old, aud died in the reign of James I. from tho eft'eots of au aoci dent, This wonderful womau found herself, at the age 100, so lively and strong as to be able to take part in a dauoe; and when she was 140 she trav eled from Bristol to London no tri fling journey in those days in order to attend personally to some business affairs. . Lady Desmond is, however, quite thrown in the shade by a Frenoh wom an, Marie Prion, who died in St. Col- oiube, it is said, at the wonderful age of 150. Toward the end of life she lived exclusively on goat's milk and cheese. Although her body wa so shrunk that she weighed only forty-six pounds, she retained all her mental faculties to the last. It is au extraordinary but iucontest ible fact thut some women at the age when uiOBt peoplo die undergo a sort of natural process of rejuvenation hair aud teeth grow again, the wrinkles disappear from the skiu, aud sight and hearing reacquire their former sharpness. A Marquise de Mirabeau is au ex ample of this rare and remarkable phenomenon. She died at the age of eighty-six, but a few years before her death she became iu appearance quite young agaiu. Tho samethauge hap pened to a nun of the name of Mar guerite Verdur, who, at ihe age of sixty-two, lost her wrinkles, regained her sight and grew several new teeth. When she died, ten years later, her appearance was almost thut of u young girl. New York Ledger. Whiskers For a Pillow. That history repeats itself has just received another proof. Some years ago the men of a iiuvariau regiment, of which Prince Muximiliau was chief, in order that they might show their devotion to him, cut off their mus taches aud sent them to the princess, who had just become a mother, that she milit uho them us a pillow Something very like a repetition of this has just taken place at ltappoist weller, iu Alsatiu. The chief of the fire brigade was a few days ago pre sented with his first child, a boy. The firemen thereupon called a meet ing, at which it was decided to make the buby boy an honoruiy member ol the corps, and the men subsequently cut off their mustaches uud beards to form a pillow for the baby's use.

The continued Irritation of the delicate lining membrane of the stomach bv the alcohol in even the mildest beers persisted in for a lengthened period, is extremely apt to give rise to a train of dyspeptic symptoms, which tends to makj many an othewlse happy life miserable. A lifetime of total abstinence would. 1 nm persuaded, have warded off two-thirds of the dyspepsia 1 have been called upon to confront. The liver suffers soverely In many eases In which beer hns never been taken to ex cess. I have frequently observed consid erable enlargement of the liver in persons' noted for their very modornte but constant drinking, who seemed the picture of health; while alive, but whoso sudden and unex pected death necessitated a postmortem inquiry. In nursing, stouts and beers are especi ally pernicious. Their use has wrought untold mischief to many mothers, and un dermined the tender constitution of a vast multitude of helpless and innocent Infants. I have said uothing whatever of the damage resulting from beer-drinking to excess, or of the appalling exteut f men tal and normal evil Inseparable from the general soelal use of beer. My warnings are on purely scientific and diotlo grounds, against steady, limited indulgence In suoh liquors as are weakening to the system, and Invite gout, rheumatism, dyspepsia and other unhealthy bodily conditions. There Is no call for us to drink beer, how ever moderately. We tan enjoy better health without Intoxicating drinks than with them. Our Creatorneithcrlmplanted a longing for them, nor provided a supply of them for our use. They are not. In the true sense of the word, u food. But though they can do us little, If any, good, they may do us much harm. Many are killed by them, both for time and for eternity, and even their continued moder ate use tends In the direction of loss of health, lessening of strength and shorten ing of life. Let us all, who desire to avoid gout, rheumatism and dyspepsia, shun ale, beer, porter, stout and all other kinds of fer mented and distilled liquors. The Supreme Duty of the Ronr. Our readers must have observed how continuously In our editorials we have urged upon temperance workers the Im portance of assailing the fortress of moderate drinking and overthrowing that stronghold as being the key to the situa tion. We are glad to see that Miss Willard, In her address na President at the National, W. C. T. U. Convention, at Buffalo, called' attention to this strategic point in the battle against alcohol. Hhesald: "The supreme duty of the hour Is to con vince the moderate drinker that he is doing himself harm. If only this belief was gen eral, men would soon become a law unto themselves to such a degree that statutory enactments would be but the outward ex pression of an Inward grace. Upon the. sullen fortress of moderate drinking the artillery of temperance reform must con centrate Iu future years. It has been an Incalculable gain to make drunkenness a disgrace Instead of an amiable peculiarity, aa It was 100 years ago; or a pardonable, peccadillo, as It was In the memory of the oldest Inhabitant; or a necessary evil as It was a generation back. The forces that have worked to this end are precisely the same that must now be directed against so-called 'moderation.' We must stoutly maintain the position that thero Is no moderation In the use of what Is harmful. Happily, in takiug this position we have 'great allies' of which the greatest is the dictum of the modern sciences." Greatest Cause of Poverty. Trade unions, technical schools and benovolont societies have done much to elevate thecouditlon of the laboring popu lation In England, but It Is still much lower thau lu the Uulted States, and lb many places descends to degradation. John Burns, the Kngllsh lobor reformer, was asked what was the greatest cause of poverty In his country. "Drink," was his laconic reply. "What is the greatest obstacle to the ad vaucemeut of the working classes?" . "Drink," he said again. ' "What Is the reason that the working, classes of Great Britain are less intelligent, less tidy and less ambitious than those of the United males?" "Driuk," he again ejaculated. "What isthe greatest inceutive to crime aud vice among the working people?" "Drink." "Is there any hope for the elevation of the working classes of your country to thesame standard as those lu the United Hlates?" was asked. "Not as long as there Is a public house at every cross-road in Great Britain," he replied. Doctors on Drink. The twenty-seventh annual ineutlug of tho American Association for the Htudy aud Cure of Inebriety was held in Boston, uuder the Presidency of Dr. Lewis D. Musou. Among the papers read was one by Dr. T. D. brothers, of Hartford, Coun., on "The Insanity of Inebriety." Hesaid there were neurotic siuruis which Impelled men to drink at certain definite periods which returned with the same regularity us the tides. These were veritable Insanities. A large number of men thus affected were suffering from paresis, also from moral paralysis a condition of things In which the person was unable to determine his proper relutious to people in general. The continued use of alcohol destroyed the moral Idea, aud made the person untruth ful, dishonest, intriguing and uurc-liable. An lutlexlble Itule. There is a firm of glass manufacturers lu Philadelphia which was established in the curly part of the century, whose founders, hlrict and consistent members of the So ciety of Friends, not believing iu the manu facture or sale of intoxicating liquors, es tablished a rule which has never been vio lated. These manufacturers have never uiude a whisky tlask, nor any sort or de scriptiou of bottle intended to contain either malt, vinous or spirituous liquors. Teutperuuee News and Notes.

Occasionally we hear of "boycotted beer." We fear that beer is not boy cotted enough. If the working men boycotted beer altogether the labor ques tion would be much nearer a solution than It is ut present .

A Ft tig Python. A nvthon twent feet, in lenndh I rial - j j - r.-, - - lied in the reptile house of the Lon- lon Zoologioal Society last month, as the largest reptile ever confined here. There is a general impression iat pythons reach a length of forty leet or more, an absurdity made mani fest when the authorities assert that die female Indian python still in the anions, aud but a trifle ovar eighteen 'eet long, is the longest snake in cap tivity of which there is any record, general impressions as to the length f these great reptiles are due to the tbsurd pictures that formerly decorat id geographies aud other works sed lometimes as text books, showing a ticture of a python in the act of crush ing and swallowing an Indian buffalo. That was a ridiculous picture that iv as the father of many ?of the "freak (onrualism"' pictures of the present lay. The London python, which was real instead of a fabulous reptile, a-as just over twenty feet in length. It was obtained in Malacca, and was presented to the society by Dr. Hamp ihire on August 29, 187G, and had, therefore, lived rather more than twenty years in England. During Ihut period it had been fed principally with ducks, of which it sometimes wallowed four or five at one meal. Its food was offered to it onoe a week, but it sometimes rofused to eat for a month together. The specimen will be mounted for the Tring Museum. Some Tricks of Heredity, Dr. Conklin gave mnny peculiar in stances of family characteristics run ning through many generations. In oue family it was noticed that three extremely long hairs appeared on the eyebrows of the children generation after generation, and in another family a small mark on the ear was reproduced for three generations by actual knowl edge. Twins and triplets usually ap peared time and again in the same family, and while the marked heredi tary characteristics might be latent in one generation, they would appear in the next. He said that in Italy many hundred years ago a son was born who had six fingers and the number of his descendants who were similarly affected was countless. The facial ex pression, the color of the eyes, the hair, the carriage, and many little oddities appeared and reappeared.

This Irregularity may be mistaken for real, organio heart disease. The symptoms are much thesama. There Is, however, a v ist difference be tween the two; organio loart disease Is often Incurable; apparent heart disease Is ourahle If good digestion be restored. A case fn point Is quoted from the Jvca Em, of Oreensburg. Ind. Mrs. Ellon Col- som, Nnwpolnt, Ind., a woman forty-three) yesrs oin, naa sunerea lor four years wltu distressing stomach trouble. The gases generated by the Indigestion pressed on the heart and caused an Irregularity of Its action. She had much rain In her stomach and heart, and was subject to frequent and severe choking spells, which were most severe at night. Dootors were tried In vain; tne patient Became worse, uespondent, and feared Impending death. A CASE OF HF.ART FAILtlBE. She was much frightened, but noticed that in Intervals lu which her stomach did not anuoy her, her heart's action became normal. Reasoning correctly that her di gestion was alone at fault, she procured the proper medicine to treat that trouble, and with Immediate good results. Her appetite came back, the choking spells be came less frequent and Anally ceased. Her woight, which had beon greatly reduced, was restored, and she now weighs mora than for years. Her blood soon became pure and ner cheeks rosy. The case Is of general Interest because the disease Is a very common one. That others may know the means of cure wo give the name of the medicine used Dr. Williams' rink Pills for Palo Poople. These pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood aud restore shattered nerves. I 'What Was Not In 1797. Think of New York about one century ago! It did not contain one bathroom or a single furnace. In summer there was no ice. There were no public stages, no matches and there was no such thing as a latchkey. The streets were narrawor than the Liberty or Wall street ot to-day. They were widened. There was a State law that commanded pedestrians northward bound to get ont of the way of those going south. Tigs were the city scavengers. There was scarcely any light from the misorable lamps at night, and not a man in the city limits wore a mustache. A A A A A A A A w "m? w w n W m A A Jk. A. A.
