NECESSARY PART OF A YOUNG LADY'S EDU CATION. The National Garment Cutter peo ple since establishing their cutting school in Butler have been instrumen tal in more fully arousing public sen timent upon one vital question than has ever before been aroused, namely the one of a practicable education for women. The originators of this school claim that parents owe a duty to their daughters to, 1. Educate them in such a man ner that they can earn a good living ; by their own efforts, if sneh a thiug i should at any time become necessary. 1 2. To be able to look after their ' own clothing and see that it is made 1 correctly and in becoming style. 3. To be able when the proper; time comes, vo honorably and intelli- f gently look after the affairs of her ; own house. 4. To be able to impart useful knowledge to her daughters and to ! teach them the dangurs and follies ot ! idleness. 5. That a woman may be inde pendent and earn her own living as a matter of right and not compromise her dignity thereby. 6. That as a matter of honor she should earn her own living and not take it from another without render ing due value therefor. 7. That educating the eye and hand is a useful and important pan of an education. 8. That no part that is required to make a well rounded, full and com plete education should be neglected, but if through necessity some part must be neglected, that it should not be the practical part but the lighter and more theoretical. 9. That a systematic and scien tific, practical education is actually necessary if the country at large is to make the advancements that the civ ilization of the age demands, and in no place io this education more great ly needed than in the household. 10. That the requirements of the age demand an unlimited knowledge of how to dress with economy and comply with the requirements of ifTe of the prevailing styles. 11. That employment is an essen tial to health and happiuess. 12. That a lazy lonian is as use less to society as a lazy man and probably more dangerous to the com munity. That here, tsro twelve strong state ments pointedly nvt le, none will deny and that they are true, e>>nnot bo questioned In IV. et il, these state ments were reduci 1 to r.iles.and then fully practiced, th'-r«j -.v->u!;1 bo a rev olution for good, such us the world has ever witnessed, and that this revolution is actu illy taking plai:e and to those who arc reading the press of the country and studying the signs of the times there is no doubt upon this subject. But Home will ask what has the National Garment Cut ter to do with this subject? By a little investigation it wii! be shown that the Garment Cutter and cutting schools have a great deal to do with it. A littlo careful investigation of the claims set forth would be profitable, and tho fitst is doubly so. Think of the fond 'ather with a slender income re.triDg daughters in all the care passible within hid means but iu case of accideut or death, what are those daughters going to do to earn a support ? Are they going to be thrown out upon the world io do as they can, or are they gointr to live upon the work of another without rendering value received. What a relief it would be to that father to know that the daughter was prepared to earn an honorable, houost living with her own hands. Thousands ol girls are left destitute and homeless every year by death ami misfortune and what are they to do ? Some will find work that they without skill can perform in competi tion with others of like skill, where the competition makes it nearly im possible to live. Others will soon die of privations and hardships while if others sink into degradation and into sin, it is not to be wondered at. Pa rents fulfill your duties to your daugh ters and teach them useful knowledge whereby they, if necessity demands it, can earn an houest living and maintain their womanly dignity. All ladies should bo so trained that they can take charge of a and manage it properly so as to be an honor to herself and a blessing to her husband and raise her daughters like the daughters spokeu of by the wise man, when he said, '"she looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness, she considereth a field and buyeth it;with the fruit of her hand she planteth a vinevard. She maketh herself cover ings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple." By the foregoing we are to con clude that it is more honorable for a woman to earn her own bread than it is to stay under the roof of another and share the fruits of his toil with out rendering due recompense. Not only in your household will this knowledge be of value to you, but it will fit you. "should you de sire" to fill one of the many lucrative positions constantly waiting (or com petent workers. GOOD A/AGES FOR OOOD FITTING. In large cities there is a constant demand for good litters at salaries ranging from sls to S2O a week. There are hundreds of young wo men throughout the country who have the tasto and talent to fill such positions; all they waut is an oppor tunity, and a knowledge of the laws that govern the art of dressmaking. A want of this knowledge precludes the possibility of reaching a high po sition as cutter ami fitter. We will help you iu this matter, we teach vou in detail the art of cut ting. —Call on M.

Everybody to His Trade. Nothing is truer than that a man who at tempts to l)f a Jack at all trades is successful in none. Equally true is tt that life is too short for a man to prepare himself for grappling with all kinds of diseases. We need specialists in medicine, and iu large cities it is becoming more and more the custom for physicians to adopt some favorite special line of practice. The name of many such become familiar the world around, as that of Dr. Douglas who at tended Ceneral Grant, or that of Dr. Foote. of New York, whose original ideas of and success ful practice In chronic diseases, have become widely known because his entertaining writings and remarkable cures are to be found in almost every county of every state of the Union. Ills favorite work, "I'laln Home Talk," lias worked lis way around the globe both ways, via London ami via San Francisco to Australia and New Zealand, with the result that the doctor, at his iilllce, l'-tl Lexington Ave., New York, Is in re ceipt of consultation letters and renorts from patients in every foreign mail. But this prophet is not without honor iu his own oountry, and it is mainly from his own countrymen that Dr. Foote invites free consultation, and to whom he oiler- the benefit of his thirty years experience.
