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.— Kansas Cor. Chicago Tribune. 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 ton Traveller. 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. for Infants and Children. “Caatorlafs ao well adapted to children that I recommend Itaa superior to any prescription known to me.” H.

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 first triennial.meetfiqt.worthR of (he ob jects in whade behAIf this National Conn- tvm formed.—Kato Field's Woahing- and girls who hare taken up claims in the western port of tbo state and lived psading on them from going hungry; »-•«i enthusiasts that she had been reading the poems backward for half an hour.

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. Pullman'* Pretty Daughter*. Two dashing yonng women these. They are the Misses Pullmnu, of the world. 1 sffy of tho world, because, while their borne is in Chicago, they know as many people in Boetop, New York, London, Paris and Vienna as in the Lake city. They walk ns erectly as grenadier guards. They are superbly dressed, bnt their clothing is not in any senso loud. They are both tall, being pretty nearly six feet in height; have rosy cheeks, clear sldn and constitutions mode strong by jndicions work in the gymnasium. They are seen very often at the opera in this city, go to the thea tre frequently and are known in many of the best houses on Fifth avenue. They spend their time at the Windsor hotel, and whenever they visit this city their society is eagerly besought by yonng men of the best families.—New York Cor. Cbicagu Newa coarse, signifying that she is ready to receive visits of congratulation. A babe is the only untitled person to whom eti quette permits a card that has not Mr., Mrs. or Miss upon it. If visits are not possible a card with “Congratulation” written upon the upper left corner is at once sent, promptness signifying a genuine sympathy with tho happy parent. Those who arc intimate send not only a card, bnt flowers, or a simple gift to the infant.—New York Letter. 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.— Harper's Bazar. 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 Letter. 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 Furnisher. FOR RENT. Two dwellings, one of them suitable for boarders.
