A Patriotic Blouse.
A new blouse is of white china
silk. The front strip covering the
buttons, and the cuffs and collar are
composed of red, white and blue taf
feta silk, stitched on in white. The
dash of patriotism will prevent the
waist being laundered, but it can be
dry cleansed and one must be in
fashion, you know.
Cutting; Children's Hair.
The best authorities on the hair
say that a child's hair should not be
cut until it is four or five years of
age. It should be kept cut after this
until the child is about fourteen.
After this a little girl's hair should be
allowed to grow long. It should be
trimmed at the tips, however, or
burned ofi' monthly to keep it even
and the hairs from splitting at the
end. Do not wash the hair too often
unless it is very oily. In that case
wash it often to remove the excess of
oil. Dry hair that is inclined to come
out should be kept clean by daily
use of the brush applied vigorously to
the scalp. It should not be washed
oftener than once in six weeks.
A Cheerful Silting: ICoom.
A bright Vassar girl has invented a
simple way of making a sitting room
seem cheerful. It consists in putting
a thin coat of pink varnish upon the
glass of the windows, or, where it is
feasible, of using the lightest colored
pink glass for the purpose. No mat
ter what the weather is outside, it
always looks cozy and comfortable
within. In her house she has what
she calls the cabinet of horrors, and the
uncanny atmosphere of tho place is
produced by a similar use of a light
bluish glass. Where a small amount
of color is used the eye does not no
tice the fact, although the mind is
affected by it, pink light cauaing a
slight exhilaration and bluish light
the feeling of depression.—New York
Mail and Express.
XVoinen Student* In Germany.
"I think the hatred of tho educated
woman grows more savage everyday,"
writes a young American girl studying
in Germany. "The women clamoring
for admittance to lectures and lessons
j are mostly Americans aud Germans,
aud only a great deal of pluck prevents
the former from throwing up their
studies and ruuniug away, so bitter
are their experiences sometimes, ow
ing to their double crime of being wo
men aud being foreigners. Some great
and stirring lights of the University,
such as Virchow aud Leyden, have
spoken up bravely in favor of the ma
triculation of women, but the lesser
! men grudge them every privilege that
they seek. Thus, 011 the door of a
certain professor at the Berlin Univer
sity is, at the present moment, the fol
lowing notice: 'Female Hearers Not
Admitted.' Not that the subjects
treated within might wound feminine
delicacy—oh, no! The professor—
Grimm by name, and grim by nature
—lectures upon 'Art and Culture in
the Nineteenth Century.' It is a beau
tiful satire."—New York Post..
To Be Short or Tall?
It is a curious fact that the majority
of men do not seem to be attracted by
tall girls. We wonder why? asks an
English critic. Perhaps, remarks the
Chicago News, it is men are HO accus
tomed to be looked up to—at all events
by the fair sex—that it is ouly natural
for them to prefer the girl who, in her
little caressings and fasciuatiug lover
like ways, has, on account of her short
ness, to look up at hiui for the purpose
jf peering into his lovelit eyes. But
very short women can only sound the
note of a forlorn condition, unfortu
nately, for fussy, modern man, taking
him in the abstract, passes her over
and lets his choice fall upon her com
paratively taller sister. The superla
tively tall woman and the positively
short woman the average man leaves
severely alone.
Tall women are usually dignified
and would appear to scorn kittenish
ways, aud although they manago to
draw admiratiou, it is rather of the
awe inspiring kind. No doubt, owing
to tbeir smallnessof stature aud pretty,
playful ways, men give to little women
more petting than the tall, dignified
woman demauds. The lover's oft re
peated expression, "You little darl
ing," could hardly be applied- to the
very tall girl without tickling the risi
bilities of those who overheard it.
Phis is certainly very hard, and looks
like a punishment for being tall, but
who cau help her stature? And it is
a fact, too, that men are rather shy
about approaching tall women, because
of restraint which they feel but cannot
explain. They are under the impres
sion—why it's hard to tell—that tall
women are built to be commanders,
and that they are in their natural ele
ment when left alone in their reserved
dignity and musings in their lonely
wanderings.
Tlie Sweetnem of One Woman's Garden.
A certain woman had a flower gar
den at her home in the suburbs of a
busy city. She had no gardener, but
did all the work herself.
Roses, carnations, violets, and many
humbler flowers grew at her bidding,
and it became a great pleasure to her
to see her friends' delight in her gar
den. No caller ever left with hands
empty of flowers.
At first this was all she did with her
flowers except to use them inside her
home, but gradually she fell into the
way of sending them to the sick
among her neighbors. Many a weary
invalid was refreshed with the sweet
ness of roses or the perfume of carna
tions, or the dreamy, restful fragrance
of violets. Children, going home
from school, loved tlie common,
bright-hued flowers she gave thorn—
ragged-robins, snapdragons, sweet
williams, marigolds, poppies, nastur
tiums, and geraniums.
One day she missed her car into
the city, and while waiting for the
next one sauntered, gloves in hand,
about her glowing garden. For pure
love of them she gathered a bunch oi
crimson carnations, and carried them
with her into the horse-car.
"Something sweet to smell," she
thought. Wbeu her shopping was
done she caught a saleswoman's eyes
bent wistfully upon the glowing blos
soms, aud she gave them to hor. II
was a revelation to her to see the flash
.f pieasure which lit up the tired face.
"Oh, thank you," was all the delighted
girl said, but her happy face expressed
far more than was couveyod in her
words.
From that day to this that woman
has never taken the car into the city
without a bunch of flowers in hei
hand, and some one who needs them
always gets them. Sometimes it is a
crippled boy, whom she chauces tc
meet on the street; sometimes a tired
faced woman, with her heavy basket
of clothes; and often it is a sales
woman, worn and weary with long
hours of standing.
All cannot gather flowers eveiy day
iu the year, but she who has even a
few flowers cau do much iu a quiet
way. A bunch of violets or pausies,
cool and fragrant, given with a smile
and a kind word; a few sprays of roses
placed in a tired saleswoman's baud:
a cluster of carnations laid upon 0
poor woman's heavy basket, will
lighten tbe load, will breathe sweet
stories of the country aud freedom
and space, and the delicious out-of
door life of it all.—Home Comfort.
FMHIIIOII Notes.
White lawns with forgot-me-nota aud
small figures aio among the pretty
summer dress patterns.
Large bunches of violets tied with
bow knots form ouo of the pretty do
signs seen in wash goods.
Black dotted Swiss gowns are made
up over color and trimmed with rows
uud rows of black laco insertion.
The Empire tortoise-shell comb, sel
in below the knot of hair at tho back,
is a useful as well us ornamental, ad
junct.
A French gown of blue is enlivened
with a touch of burnt orange, and th<
hat to be worn with it is of gray,
trimmed with orauge velvet.
A pretty bit of dainty underwear is
a short chemise of the finest crepe de
chine, finished around the neck with
a lace-trimmed frill of finest white
lawn.
Several dresses have been finished
with yokes of solid embroidery and
braid. If these are at all of open
design they are lined with bright satin
or silk.
Some of the new round hats ol
Spanish yellow braid are trimmed with
nothing but black ostrich plumes, black
velvet ribbon and black poppies with
yellow hearts.
The regulation caps is made so as
to stand out from the shoulders like a
rain-shed", "the more llare the more
fashion" seeming to be tho idea iu
their making up.
The latest silk shirt waists are
corded; in fact, everything corded is
the rage, the cords ranging iu size
from a common wrapping twine to the
size of one's linger.
Yellow vies with blue for prominence
in millinery. Yellow flowers, yellow
tulle, chiffon and yellow straw are
brilliantly conspicuous, besides all the
warm tints of burnt orauge.
Braided black nets, with tiny frills
of gauze ribbou between the bayadere
patterns, are a very popular material
for the transparent gown which is a
fashionable necessity this seasou.
Shoes are less pointed thau hereto
fore. Heels are rather low and broad,
and the moderately heavy walking
shoe has become one of tho indis
pensable articles of every lady's outfit.
The pretty aud picturesque neck
and shoulder effects, and the new way
of adjusting the fronts, render the
very fashionable priucesse dress one
of the most attractive models of tho
season.
Hats are remarkable for the absence
of ribbon in their trimming. Soft
materials, either plain or figured, are
preferred, aud these are used in puffs,
loops, rolls and large soft bows and
rosettes.
For out-door wear tan , shoes with
the short tan socks are w<wn4>y little
children; while for indoors, either
black or Qolored shoes with stockings
to qaatch. Shoes are used much more
than slippers, as they are supposed to
be better for the ankles.
BRAVE AMERICAN WOMEN.
tii the Revolution They Were Tot ilchliwl
the Men In Patriotism.
From memoirs, dairies and old let
ters enough comes down to give us
in idea of the tone of the women of
the Revolution, and the mothers
stand out as heroically as any Spartan
woman. A Mrs. Martin voiced tho
general feeliug when a British officer
asked her whether she had a son.
"I have seven."
"Where are they?"
"Figbtiug for their country."
"All of them?"
"All."
The officer sneered. "Well, you
sent enough," he said.
Mrs. Martin looked him squarely in
the face. "I wish I had fifty sous to
send against you."
Such instances pile up before the
searcher, and there were mothers
braver still. One of them sent an
only son to the siege of Augusta. A
British soldier, full of hatred for the
rebels, rode out of his way to tell the
woman of her son's death. She met
him at the door, and, without a word
of warning, he brutally announced:
I "You had a son. I saw his brains
blown out at Augusta."
The mother's form grew rigid, but
she said proudly:
"He could not have died in a nobler
cause."
Tliere are mothers in the land to
day as brave as she, if a cause like
hers should call; and, even when tho
cause is the liberty of another race,
tho mothers have been brave and
stopped their tears. Women's work
was needed more in the old days than
it is in this time of Government sup
plies and a well-filled Treasury, and
wherever women were needed, there
they were found. Mrs. Draper, of
Dedham, Mass., sent her husband
and sixteen-year-old sou to the army.
Then sho called in her neighbors
and begun baking bread and pies,
which she kept on a long table before
her gate, for the refreshment of all
hungry American soldiers who passed
that way. After Bunker Hill, when
the scarcity of ammunition induced
Washington to call for all available
pewter and lead, the same Mrs.
Draper came to the front again. Pew
ter was dear to the heart of the New
England housekeeper, and sho had
one of the finest collections in New
England; but without a moment's
hesitation she melted it down, aud,
not content with furnishing the ma
terial, she obtained a mould and made
the pewter into bullets, which she
forwarded to the army. Then a new
waut arose. The men were insuf
ficiently clothed. The indefatigable i
Mrs. Draper had piles of domestic
cloth stowed away for family use. She
made it into soldiers' coats. Her .
splendid stock of sheets and blankets |
was transformed jnto shirts, and even '<
her own flannel clothing was altered
to men's garments.
She was only one woman among
thousands like her. Tho famous Mrs.
Motte, who had given signal evidence
of patriotism, was at one time obliged
to leave her handsome home, which
fell into British hands. Mrs. Motte
took up her residence in a farmhouse
back of the American lines. The
American commander became con
vince 1 that the only way of routing
the British" was by destroying tho
Motte house, but he hesitated to men
tion this to the patriotic women.
When he did pluck up courage to do
so, he was relieved of all embarrass
ment. Although the place was dear to
her, and was almost her only property,
she assured tho commander that it
was altogether at his service, fur
nished him the bow and arrows by
which combustibles were to be carried
to the roof, and stood beside him, with
110 sign of regret, while her home and
fortune burned to ashes.
Not all of the Revolutionary women
had great sacrifices to make, but they
did what they could; and so mauy of
the girls pledged themselves never to
accept tho attentions of young men
who refused to fight for the country
that there was really no merit in a
young man's going to the front.
American women gave up tea, too;
aud iu that day that was a sacrifice as
heroic as it would be in Eugluud now.
Teggy Stewart, of Anuapolis, weut
further thau that in tho tea fight.
She was the pretty wife of Anthony
Stewart, a merchant and shipowner;
aud when a bark, named for her, the
Peggy Stewart, came in with a cargo
of tea, she ordered both tea and bark
to be burned in the harbor; and forced
her husband to held the torch with
which the fire which destroyed his
property was kindled.
• Tlo Fluff of Betsy Koss,
The first flag made for tho Coutinen
tal Congress was the handiwork of
Miss Betsy Boss, of Philadelphia. It
was on August 3, 1777, that it was
first raised over Fort Schuyler, near
Borne, iu this State. Paul Jones, who
used to have the rattlesnake flag, was
the first to show it to a foreign Nation
wheu ho unfurled it in France.
On June 14, 1777, the Continental
Congress adopted this resolution:
"Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen United Statee be thirteen
stripes, alternate red aud white; that
the Union be thirteen stars ij a blue
field, representing tho new constella
tion."
It was this flag, not officially bom
yet, but substantially tho same, with
which Perry inspired his gallant crew
on the deck of the Lawrence, as he
waved it id his arms before the battle
of Lake Erie began aud pointed to the
words of Captain Lawrence, blazoned
across its folds: "Ilou't give up the
ship." And they didn't. The British
did that. Tho victory saved the great
Nqrthwest to the Union.—New York

Stone In Her stomach, ■ -
From the Gazette, Blandinsv
The wife of the Rev. A. R. Adams, pastor
of the Bedford Christian Chureh at Bland
lnsvllle, 111., wai for years compelled to
live a life of torturo from disease. Her
case bullied the physicians, but to-day sho
is alive an<* well, and tells tho story of her
recovery as follows:
"About six years ago," said Mrs. Adams,
"I weighed about 140 pounds, but my
health began to fall and I lost flesh. My
food did not ngreo with me and felt like a
stone In my stomach. I began to bloat all
over until I thought I had dropsy.
"I had palus and soreness in my loft side
which extended clear across my "back and
also into the region of ray heart. During
these spoils a bard ridge would uppear in
the left side of my stomach and around
the left side.
"These attacks left rae sore and exhaust
ed. All last summer I was so nervous that
the children laughing and playing nearly
drove me wild. I suffered also Irom female
troubles aud doctored with ten different
physicians without receiving any help.

A Fortune From a Scare.
An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an effica
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
meaus of defense. As a result he has
brought out and patented a pocket
pistol which will shoct ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most vic
ious dog cannot withstand a few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, aud
y3t there is uo danger of actually in
juring a valuable animal which might
playfully annoy a rider. The weapon
has proved so much of a success as a
means of defense as well as fun-mak
ing, that the lucky inventor is realizing
much money from his device.

It is a weapon Avhicli protects bicyclists against
vicious clogs and loot-pads; travelers against robbers
and toughs; homes against thieves and tramps, and is
adapted to many other situations.
It does not kill or injure; it is perfectly safe to
handle; makes 110 noise or smoke; breaks no law and
creates no lasting regrets, as does the bullet pistol. It
simply and amply protects, by compelling the foe to
give undivided attention to himself for awhile instead
of to the intended victim.
It is tho only real weapon which protects and also
makes fun, laughter and lots of it; it shoots, not once,
but many times Avitliout reloading; and Avill protect
by its appearance in time ot danger, although loaded
only Avith liquid. It does not get out of order; is dur
able, handsome, and nickel plated.
