At this season the temperature is lia
ble to fall many degrees in a few hours,
and the Indiun summer morning may
be succeeded by wintry blasts at mgbt.
It is therefore very difficult to arrange
the clothing of a little child so as to pro
tect it properly from these sadden
changes, and colds are almost inevitable.
A baby’s cold is often a very distressing
matter to the mother. She knows how
liable an apparently harmless cold is to
become a fatal inflammation of tbo
lungs. No cnbl of nn infant should for
a moment be neglected. See at once
that the child is thoroughly protected
by flannels, if it is not so already.
Notico especially that the feet are kept
in warm, woolen socks or hose, which
must lie secured so that they cannot bo
kicked off. Greasing the baby's nose
with a little mutton tallow and rnbbing
in a drop or two of camphor certainly
relieves a cold in the head, although it is
nn old wife’s remedy. If the baby shows
any hoarseness lose not a moment, but
lay on the chest a flannel cloth dipped
in sweet oil, or rubbed tliick with mut
ton tallow, over which a tablespoonful
of camphor has been 6prinkle<l. Heat
this greased nnd camphorated cloth and
apply it as hot as it can be borne, cover
ing it with a piece of dry flannel to re
tain the heat and to keep it from greas
ing the child's clothing. Before tins
cloth is cold replace it by another hot
one. After such treatment a child will
often fall asleep and wake up entirely
recovered.
If the hoarseness continues, however,
or shows any signs of growing worse,
physician should be summoned at once,
as moments of a baby's sickness are
equivalent to hours in grown persons’
illness. The strongest child requires the
tenderest and most unremitting care to
bring it through infancy strong and
sonnd, without uny organic weakness,
which may develop in after years.
When the child's cold settles in the
bowels nothing is better than an appli
cation of flannels wrung out in hot
liqnor, laid over the stomach and ab
domen. and covered with dry flannel.—
New York Tribune.
there are hundred* of women who can
do anything a man can do, has erer
done or ever tried to do, and there are
hnndredsof women in Kansas who want
equal rights with men. The signs are
that what they ask will be conceded
them. They have taken charge of the
public schools, and no state in the Union
has better. They are members of school
boards, county and city superintendents
and teachers. They lead in the educa
tional and prohibition movement.
They are making no noisy or threaten
ing clamor for equal rights. They are
simply showing by what they do that
they are the equal of man ami that the
ballot in their hands would not only be
safe, bnt wisely used for the betterment
of the people nnd development of a state
that is coming to the front with greater
strides than any other in the Union.—

Reaillnz Drowning In MaHMcliiKetU.
The most devoted and uncompromis
ing worshipers of Robert Browning live
in Springfield, and, of course, they are
women. They gathered at the home of
a well known lawyer, and listened with
rapt and soulful attention to selections
from the great j>oet as read by the law
yer’s wife. At length the reader paused
to learn if there might be any ennui on
the part of the andience. “It is exquis
ite,” murmured the Browninjites in
concert, and the reading prtceeded.
Again the hostess paused, solicitous, and
asked her guests if they were sure they
liked it. “Oh, yes,” was the chorus, “it
is beautiful.” “But do you understand
it?” asked Mrs. Lawyer; “I can't make
anything out of it.” “Why, y
comprehend it perfectly,” was the assur
ance, “and it is so delightful that we
would like to hear some more.” Then
driven to ifuhpee they saw approach
ing on foot a dowdily dressed colored
girl, who stopped the team and inquired
the time of day, the most direct road to
Sandwich village, the distance, and
finally asked the ex-president in her
most fetching manner for a ten cent
piece for her bangle, and during the
whole time feasted her eyes on greatness
and beanty. Having satisfied her curi
osity in this direction our schoolmarm
made her best bow to the party and
passed on, rejoicing at the success of
her scheme, nnd in the possession of a
ten cent piece for her bangle.—Cor. Bos

London Women Not Clulmbl**.
London women do not seem to be what
“Jennie June" calls “clnbable” women,
for notwithstanding the increasingly
prominent place they occupy in sport
and recreation their amusements are as
a rule unorganized. The Row is each
season crowded with eqnestrienne^, and
in the winter, too, when the riding is
something Ix-sidca “genteel cantering.”
All manner of smart ponies and carts
and jaunting cars go the pace continu
ally, and last season a lady “tooted” a
four-in-hand each day around the drive,
her horses held splendidly in hand. The
prejudice against the cycle for ladies is
fast dying out, and though at present
not so general in London ns among the
provinces one may expect soon to
it command the situation in London
street?.—Loudon Letter.

A Hum. Socl.ly for Girl,
At laat New York is to have a home—
a tree, respectable American home,
where young women ont of employment
can find shelter, sympathy and substan
tial aid. The institution is to be the
same sort of a place as a pnblic school,
with no more charity, religion, politics
or restriction, and will be supported and
maintained by the French Evangelical
church of the city of New York. The
certificate of incorporation has been filed
in the connty clerk's office and the work
of establishment will begin at once, the
board of managers including Mrs. Lena
Roberts, Mrs. Caroline Leconltre, Mrs.
Marie Qroejeans, Mrs. Emilie Swyeffort,
the Rev. H. L. Grandlienord and Mr. J,
E. Roberts.
The Yonng Women’s Home society
will provide unemployed young women
whose occupation is that of a teacher,
maid or domestio with a pleasant home
and good board. Medical attendance
will be furnished the sick, decent and
comfortable clothing provided for the
needy, together with financial aid, good
counsel and friendly snpport and encour
agement The needs of the girl will be
sufficient plea for admission, and. as in
the regulation of a public hotel, good
conduct will serve as a guarantee of
good character. Thu catechising to which
the applicant will be subjected is in
tended for industrial use only, in ordeT
to acquaint the examiner with her ability.
Suitable nnd profitable employment
will he found for her without any charges
or fees whatever.
Intended to lienefit the French girl
directly, it is not decisive whether other
nationalities will ho debarred from the
privileges of the home. There is somo
need in Now York city for a dozen just
such organizations os the Home society
promises to be.—New York World.
‘The National Council of Women.
The National Council of Women of
the United States, organized in the
spring of 1888, will hold the first of its
triennial meetings in February, 1891, in
Albangh'a opera house, in Washington.
It will lust fonr days, including seven
pnblic sessions.
Eleven of the most important national
organizations of women in the country
have entered the council. As soon as
any organization enters the council, its
president becomes an acting vice presi
dent in the council, and it has also the
right to appoint one person to represent
it on the executive board. This board
includes the general officers of the coun
cil, together with the presidents of all
organizations belonging to it, and one
delegate besides its president from every
organization.
The corresponding secretary of the
council, Mrs. May Wright Bewail, 843
North Pennsylvania street, Indianapolis,
will gladly answer all inquiries ad
dressed to her, and will see that every
provision is mode for the appropriate
representation on the programme of all
departments of work in whose prosecu
tion the women of the country have ef
fected national organizations.
It is hoped that women interested in
women's work (will respond to this call
and give the aid necessary to render the

Women In Hotel..
“The most desperate creature on
earth,” said the clerk of a well known
uptown hotel, “is a woman from ont
of town in a hotel bedroom on a wet
Suuday. There is absolutely nothing to
do, the confinement is almost intolera
ble, and the isolation of her lot is made
unusually painful by the fact that so
mnch is going on all aronnd her from
which she is debarred. Men come to
town with their wives or daughters,
leave them at 7 in the morning, and go
off to attend to business. The ramifica
tions and extraordinary character of the
‘business' undertaken by rural visitors
is one of those things which no man can
accurately gnnge. It is certain, howev
er, that the western merchants are out
of the hotel pretty much all the time
from 8 in the morning till 12 at night.
Sometimes they come in to take their
meals with the women of their party,
but not infrequently they leave them
entirely to their own resources."—New
York Letter.
A Pen Picture of a Well Known Wnmna.
One day last week a customer in one
of the large Brooklyn dry goods stores
stood waiting for her tarn to be served
and idly watching the woman who was
claiming the attention of the clerk at the
moment. There was nothing about her
to attract a second glance. She looked
to be close upon 60 years of age. her hair
very gray, though not white, and
a pair of large, rather dark eyes looked
out from a colorless, unimpressive face.
In figure she was short and small, and
the black costume sho wore was simple
to plainness. Yet when she gave her
name and address for a parcel to be sent
it was realized that this little woman of
insignificant appearance was one whose
name eighteen years ago waa in every
body’s month from ono end of the coun
try to the other, and whoso personality
at that timo was almost as well known
as her name. Sho was Mrs. Theodore
Tilton.—New York Times.

Thu Rare Growing Better.
Mr. John L. White, head master of
the Berkeley school. New York, is au
thority for the statement that, in onr
cities at least, almost every American
girl of good parentage of tho age of six
teen or seventeen is taller than her
mother, with laiger waist, better physi
cal development and more “staying
power.” This gain lie thinks largely
due to tho present day love of open air
games and exercise. Indeed, so heartily
does he believe in the efficacy of physi
cal training that lie wonld put an exer
cise room in every school honse, sure
that forty minntes’ daily drill and in
struction in hygienic laws wonld in the
following generation reduce the number
of the criminal population one-half.—

Woman and Tobacco.
The use of tobacco among women is
on the increase in France, and even in
London it is not nnnsnal to see a tady
produce her silver or enameled cigar case
in the drawing room. Cigarettes are
giving place to cigars in Paris, and some
fears ore entertained of the smoking
habit among women becoming ancon-
t reliable. The well known writer Mme.
de Latonr defends the nse of the weed
by her Bex, and insists that if it is good
for men it is not injurious to women,
while to brain workers it is a great help
and solace, olio wonld not, however,
give women quite the same license as
men, and wonld restrict them to two ci
gars and a few cigarettes a day.—Paris

A Novelty In Handkerchief benign*.
The various ideas of crests, mono
grams, initials and other devices in
embroidery engrafted upon handker
chiefs for the aggrandizement or identi
fication of the owner have been worked
to death. There is a novelty, however,
in handkerchief decorations that ha.
reached a noticeable degree of popularity
in a very short time. It is the plan of
having the photograph of wife, children
or sweetheart, or your own physiog
nomy, taken on the corner of the article,
either in linen or silk. The chemical
processes have been perfected so that the
likeness will neither wash out of nor
fade upon the fabric.—Clothier and

All the women of Boston do not wear
gig lamps and calf shoes and carry broad
cloth reticules bulging with manu
scripts and leaflets of transcendental
philosophy. Anna Whitney is the vice
^resident of tho St. Bernard clab, of
Massachusetts, and knows as mnch
shout dogology and dogdom os any
breeder in the country. She can size up
a dog at a glance. At the recent dog
show in Detroit, Mich., Miss Whitney
was one of the judges. As understood
by this canine connoisseur. “Go to the
dogs” is not a saw, but a proverb. In
stead of a reproach, she claims the mean

year, again harvesting it with her shears.
The third crop her father ent with a

Dry poultices, where heat ia required,
have almost superseded moist ones.

latter, common white beans, boiled very

wonderfully. A bowl of hot gruel will
sometimes ward off a neuralgic attack.
