The Female Pocket. :w York World: T'he exploits of the child thief, Lillian Smith, have led to sov mments on the female method of carrying the pocketbook. Notwithstand ing all the genius and labor which have heen expended on woman's apparel since Eve loft the Garden of Eden, the sex has not yet been provided with a succesaful pocket. To produce this,safety and con- venience must both be consulted.

As a rule, they like to be neatand clean for the com- fort of it, though they are sometimes found to become slatterns where \lu*f‘ be- lieye themselves unknown, and there- fore free from critieism. He goes on to say: ‘“Fhe habit of neatness or its oppo- site is an mteresting study in women. The charaeteristic naturally exists just the Sae in men, but the circunistances gov- orning their lives are such as do not bring | out this phase in such promounced fash- ton. Tdon’t doubt but that some of the greatest slatterns on earth are men, but | they are seldom found out, you know. | If you are sufliciently intimate with a gentleman to gain access to his appart- ment you will soon have y excellent method of judging of his habits. If you find his brushes full of hair and lint, his towels and soiled cle cking about everywhere, with a bov@ of dirty wat always on his washstand, you may easily judge that he will go ont in the street with grease spots on his clothes and half- soded linen on, e Wny Women Work, Gail Hamilton has a serious word to say of her sex thatall should read: *“Their spiritual superiority is signified chiefly 1n this—that the women work for love, the men for money.” Thus she sums the matter up: *“‘The spiritual advance made by man is seen chielly in this, that so much of the money he Zoes to the ministry of refinement, education, em bellishiwent, to the wife and children whom he loves. But the woman sees no money for her toil. Her suilicient ample reward is in a husband, content, nappiness, growing in grace, in children, bounding to gracious maturity.

A Hint to Parents, Pittsburg Sunday Traveller: In con- ve ion with a ward school teacher the other day, the writer was impressed with the importance of parents serutiniz- ing the correspondence of their children. He, of course, did not mean that parents should object to their sons and daughters sending or receiving letters without their consent, but he dud mean that parents should have a general oversight of their children correspondence, and that it their rght to disapprove of any let- of an unhealthy character being sent or received. The gentleman urged the supervision of correspondence as an im- portant matter, as the moral contamima- ion which is possible to be poured into young minds by means of vile letters is a source of great danger. How parents should prevent this he did not say other than that they were to hold themselves responsible for what was written or re- ceived through the mails. Parents to ex- ercise this discretion judiciousi encourage their childven to be frank in their correspondence; teach them to have too much respect their purents to v latter could not 1y time, and which wonld cause no blush or shame to antle the cheek of mother or father. 1f rents can successfully teach their chil- 'n to show tlus regard, they need not fear to allow them to correspond freely, and perhaps the best way to teach this is for the parents to exercise the right to open any and ali fetters before allowing them to be read by the young boys and mirls.
