If one is begun for the baby, even with a very small sum. and added to through child hood and ycth with a certain propor tion of the money that otherwise would be spent carelessly and thoughtlessly by the child, there will be a very respectable amount on the credit side of the ledger when the de positor Is 18 years old. The liab.t of self-denial is hot the least of the substantial benefits that follow a wise economy of money.—Ladies' Home Journal. Mr*. Gould L'tk< Antique*. Mrs. Edwin Gould is as fond of bric-a-brac and antiques as her world famed relative, the Count de Castol iane. She indicated her tastes in this regard on the occasion of a recent visit to New prleans during the mardi gras festivities. New Orleans is the mecea for rich southerners who are on the outlook for old time furniture. The French people have many valuable articles dating back to the pre-Napoleon pe riod. and with proper patience some rare pieces can be got in the old Creole town. It did not take long for Mrs. Gould to appreciate this opportunity, and she spent much of her. time shopping. These articles were ordered to be shipped to Jekyl island, on the coast of Georgia, where Mrs. Edwin Gould has a cottage. The furnishings will suit the Jekyl island atmosphere which hovers over the crumbling man sions of the Georgia colonial aristoc racy. Flattery from the Mirror. Does your mirror do you justice? You may think not. Or perhaps you would like it to Hatter you just a lit tle. If so, you can arrange It so the glass will reflect In a more complimen tary manner than usual. If you do, you only have to know the milliner's oldest secret, and the tiling is done. Did you ever notice the softest dra pery of pure white hung about a mir ror? That is the trick. After your mirror of faultless glass is thoroughly polished, frame it in pure white gauze, with the material gathered in the cen tre at the top and falling wavelike on either side. Then notice the effect. The true tints of he complexion will be there —a little emphasized. The ex pression of the countenance, the light of the eye, the color of the hair will bo accurately reflected, all softened and made more harmonious than your mir ror showed them before the gauze was used. You may believe that that sub tle bit of white material makes the glass tell nearer the truth than it did without it. —New York Herald. CIIIIIBK Women. It Is strange, says Harper's Weekly, that in a country where the ties of family are so strong and where so much attention is given to the preser vation of the family name, women should be so looked down upon as tbey are in China. The reason for this, however, is to be found in the system of ancestral worship and the patriarchal gathering together of fam ilies. From the time of her bethrothal a Chinese girl belong- to the family of her prospective husband, and often when lior own family Is poor or feets unable to afford keeping her until she reaches a marriagable ago she is sent even while a more child to her hus band's family to be raised by them. Even when she stays at home she wor ships not the tablets of her own an cestors, but those of her husband's; so she is useieFs to the family into which she is horn, so far as the ob servance of the ancestral rites is con cerned. This is the reason why a Chinaman, on being asked the number of his children, answers only with the num ber of his sons and never count 3 in his girls. This, too, Is the reason why, as a rule, Chinese girls are not educat ed. Since she is to belong to another family, the parents do not bother about her. First Women I'liyslclnns. Russia has long prided herself on having the first women physicians. Marya Bokoff. Nadezhda Susloff and others were pioneers, not only in - their own studies, but also in opening up medical instruction to their country women. The career of Nadezhda Sus loff, one of the earliest and best wom en doctors, is particularly interesting. Born a serf, and freed with her par ents. at the emancipation in 18G1, she and her brothers and si3ters received the best possible education at home and abroad, for her parents were both extremely intelligent, and her father acquired wealth after gaining his free dom. Everywhere, in Russia and in the continental schools, Nadezhda was brilliantly successful. For 30 years there has been no man ner of doubt as to the sympathy of the public and the medical world with the idea of thorough medical Instruc tion for women. Men started the movement. In IS7O ore professor and two other men undertook to establish courses for ii.oUucting women In mid- wlfery, two graded nurses being pre vided. Mme.,Dodssvenny, now Mme. Shanvawsliy, gave 50.000 rubles for higher medical courses, and the min ister of war arranged to have them opened in connection with the military medical academy, in 1572. They gave full instruction, in contrast with the initial experiment where the course was partial because it was felt that a woman should not be allowed to deal with one vitality important branch of practise unless she were very thoroughly equipped. These higher courses lasted for 10 years, and during that period had 959 students, the'majority coming from the "Privi leged classes," that is to say, not peasants. In 1877 24 students were sent to the seat of war, during the Russo-Turlsish campaign, and did so well that they received imperial per mission to call themselves (after due examination) "women physicians," and to wear a badge.—The Chautau quan. Hungry Women In Hoftpital*. It is a curious thing that hospital nurses should be ill fed, but they often are, and in many institutions. This is not intended for an accusation, but merely an inquiry into a state of things which many people who know about the workings of hospitals, most especially nurses in training, will echo, asking. Why? Possibly the reason that insufficient and unhy gienic food is too often the rule may be looked for in the fact that formerly Bisters looking for hardships were the only ones who gave themselves over to these tasks of mercy. Fasting was part of the business of women who nursed the sick in the old days, and possibly the notion uncon sciously that fasting is a good thing for women who bend over beds of pain. Whittier expressed this notion In the poem of the "Angels of Buena Vista," the "noble Mexican women" went about on the field of battle after the fight, "worn and faint and lacking food." It is noetic, romantic, in the old fashionel way, but it i 3 not a bit mod ern, sustaining or comfortable. A hungry woman as an angel of mercy is not considered a scientific, or even a practicable, adjunct of a modern bat tlefield. When the Cuban war began the surgeon-general of the army warned the untrained horde of women, moved by sentiment or emotion, who wanted to go to Cuba as nurses to stay away. Only Clara Barton's mod ern sort of angels of mercy who knew enough to keep themselves nourished on short but wholesome rations with out making a fuss about it were al lowed service, and these were in the disciplinary service of the Red Cross. System is the very open secret of the success of that organization; hospit als in times of peace and in cities are of course run on system also, but it is a system that lacks organization on the food question. It is really yueer that nurses in training, of all people, should not be fully and property nourished, if for no other reason than to give them ob ject lessons in hygienics. To be hun gary all of the time that she finds herself obliged to recruit her forces by pieces of food left upon the pa tients' trays of extra-nourishing viands j is not good discipline, physical ormen j tal, for the girls of today who arc i studying in hospitals are of the most | useful of the modern professions for ; women. —New York Mail and Express. ffo !VWo Most of the linen frocks have gored j skirts with shaped flounces, j There is a chemisette of tucked white batiste. Equestrienne and automobile gloves I come with deep, stiff gauntlets. The newest foulards are those with borders, and they are very charming. I There is a yellow linen frock which is trimmed with narrow white silk | bands. Some of the early models for linen . gowns show that there will be a pro ] fusion of small pearl buttons used in' trimming. j A pretty effect in foulard gowns is j given in an attractive silk with a ; black lace trimmings. The result is j excellent. There is a bit of blue at | the neck to give a light touch to the j gown. A beautiful tea gown of pink crepe de chine is a mass of plaits from the yoke or guimpe over which falls a deep collar of embroidered Eillc to the foot of tiie gown, where there is a : rulHe of graduated width in the silk j also embroidered. 1 Turquoise blue and green make a more charming combination than would i lie imagined. A shlrrc-d tulle hat of the mushroom variety is raised eft the j face by soft elioux of white flambeau silk, while the edge of the hat is out lined with a wreath of dainty green j leaves. A most stylish tea £own is of dotted black silk muslin, the dots half the size of a penny and set at wide inter vals. There is a bolero of black lace with stock and a guimpe effect of ! stripes made with insertions of lace. The sleeves to this very stylish gown .each to the wrist. The whole thing ! is made over white silk. In Paris they are making lace roses. But why? The exquisite silk and vel vet flowers shown now are the nearest i approach to the beauties of nature | that one could expect. Also in Paris they are making hats with black vel vet brims and lopse, puffy crowns oi colored tulle. Around the crown is a velvet band, terminating in a good sized bow. A Preltj lump Shade, Accordion-plaited muslin in any of the delicate colors makes a pretty lamp shade, mounted upon cardboard and tied around at the top with a satin ribbon. This is especially suit able for the summer cottage. The /Tnii.ed Bedroom. The housemaid can save her labors in suddenly making ready an apart ment for the arriving guest by this arrangement of the unused bedroom: Take either spare sheets or "furniture sheets" of cotton denim, the old blue check, and spread them over the bed, cov ering bolster and pillows; cover the duchesse or toilet table, the writ j ing table, lounge and bureau, whatever | would be likely to catch the dust. I Then when the room Is prepared for the new guest the wraps are removed j and shaken free of dust out the wln ] dow, and the task of sweeping and | dusting is simplified. The Emergency Cupboard. | In every house where there are I children there should be a remedy cup ; board. I do not mean the ordinary medicine chest, with innumerable bot tles huddled together, hut a well stocked emergency cupboard, easy of access, and containing simple reme dies for the many aches and pains of childhood. No household is conducted without an occasional accident and a bruise; a burn or an ugly cut are all of frequent occurrence where there are children. If there is a place where one can always find some soft medi j cated cotton, bandages of different j widths, absorbent gauze and a bottle jof some antiseptic solution, it will j prevent the frantic running about j when such articles are needed, and I save to the little sufferer many throbs of pain. To be thoroughly satisfac- I tory, the emergency cupboard must be kept in perfect order and systematical ly arranged. For instance, in one compartment keep the every-day reme dies for coughs and colds, such as quinine, listerine, for gargling, croup kettle, atomizer and a compress and flannel bandages. The best treatment for a bruise is to apply soft cloths wet with hot I water, and if the contusion is very I painful a little laudanum may be added Ito the water. To extract a splinter j from a child's hand, fill a wide-mouthed | bottle half full of very hot water and 1 I place its mouth under the injured spot. If a little pressure is used the steam j in a few moments will extract the splinter. Before bandaging a cut, wash it thoroughly with some ant!- ! septic solution. When it is perfectly • clean bring the edges together and hold the place with warm strips of adhering plaster. Leave a space be i tween them for the escape of blood, i and apply a dressing of absorbent gauze. When the wound is entirely i healed the plaster may be easily re moved by moistening at first with al • cohol. The stinging pain of a super ; flcial burn may be instantly allayed • by painting with flexible collodion, white of egg or mucilage. If the skin is broken apply a dressing of boracio acid ointment or vaseline. —Trained , Motherhood.

THE TREE THAT OWNS ITSELF. j Deed Concerning an Oak Recorded Jij j Colonel Jackson, at Athens, Ga. j "Athens, Ga., has one remarkable j tree," said Congressman Tate, of that i State. This is a tree which is a property holder. The records at the County Court House shows deeds con veying the tree and all the land within eight feet of it to the tree. "It Is a magnificent oak, and seems to stand straighter and hold its head more prouldy than any of the trees around It. Certainly It is ranked above the common trees of the world, for It cannot be touched against its will, that Is, if the conditions of the deed are carried out. "The facts are these: Many years ago Colonel W. H. .Tackson owned the land upon which the tree stands, lie had watched the tree grow from its childhood, nud grew to love it al most as he would a human being, lis luxuriant foliage and sturdy branches had often protected him from the sun and the rain, and from its branches he had taken from the nests the eggs of the feathered songsters. "Colonel .Tackson watched Its growth and when he saw it standing In ita magnificent proportions.lie was pained ; to think that after his death it might fall into the hands of people who would destroy it. Believing that the only way to save the tree from the axe of the woodsman was to deed the tree to itself, he did so, having a deed recorded in the Clerk's office, witness lug that, 'for and in consideration of the great love I bear said tree (giving its location) and a great desire that said tree be protected for all the time, I convey to said oak tree entire pos session of itself and all land within eight feet of it 011 all sides.' "Now, I suppose that tills tree is about the only one in this country which belongs wholly and entirely to Itself. If there Is another anywhere, ! I have never heard of It." —New York Bun.

In ancient days, sajs tlic Westmins j ter Gazette, a master was a man who taught, and no one could obtain the ' degree of Master of Arts until lie had i lectured at least two years in the Ox ford schools, during which period iie was known as a Regent Master. That i he might be known to all men lie was bound during this period to wear i heelless shoes, called "pynsons." Of j late years the custom has been iu | nheyanee, and a Master of Arts lias j received a dispensation fro" lecturing. | At the same time lie did not become a full master till the end of the term of his inception. By the recent statute the last trace of the regent or lecturing master has disappeared.
