We all know her, the woman who is calm and collected in a panic and aids materially in subduing it; who, when Someone falls in a faint, knows just What should be done and proceeds to ~ it, there! aps having a human e; who, © of a fire, carries out the children and lets the rag-bag burn up, and neither reams nor swoons; who, when she visits a friend with a family of small children, has her thimble and th: and-needle in her Pocket; who alw has a much-needed pin handy, and hever caught travel- ing without a camphor bottle. We have all met this type of woman. and felt grateful to her for her time- ly assistance. Such a woman is thoro z fish. She gives the ieee self to the s¢ -e of humanity without expecting or demanding any return. The world at large is her home, and its people her family, but not to the neglect of any of her own household of faith. She carries her balm of Gilead with her for every wounded soul and applies it while others gape _- wring their hands. There is another typ, emergency woman who de Leaf iaare an moral attribu instead of things. She is almost as eftic her treatment the other, inste d of a poultice or a balm, a smile, a kindly word, cheerful grasp of the hand, a tear of sy mpathy. She, too, lightens heavy burdens and leaves a wake of sunshine after her. She is al supplied with the cour- teous word, her feel doe: through a dreary strain of swee couragement in her voice, sunshine in her smile, and a better atinosphere where she is. It is her mission in life to make the best of everything by a constant tacit admission that the world is good. Men take off their hats in her presence conscious of the royalty of her womanhood. Even if they did not, if they were rude and brawling, she would not gather her skirts about her and hurry away, for she is an emergency woman. No, she would quell them with one look of appeal that would soften and disarm, but never wound. In the domestic atmosphere of her home the eme: acy Woman is a cen- tral force around which all lesser forces revolve in harmonious measure. She is never ‘ py, or at odds with her neighbors, who are as quick to appeal to her for help ané sympathy in an emergenc to respond. No novels ha ten with her for a heroine, nor any song sung in her praise, but none the less she is known to her world as a most comfortable type of her sex. d Ss Hasheesh ana its Effects. Hasheesh is principally composed of the h of the innocent hempseed, a its preparation loses its inno- of the Es One report states that hasheesh disturbs the functions of the systems of digestion and circu- lation; that it injures the «senses and motive powers; that it disturbs the cerebral functions. The phantoms seen by and the tendencies manifested in those who are intoxicated with hasheesh generally indicate the usual habits of thought and moral character of the in- toxicated person, or the thoughts and passions by which the man was pos- sessed on the day that he became in- toxicated, or at the moment in which the symptoms of poisoning began to make themselves manifest. Persons given to the use of hasheesh who be- come maniacs are apt to commit al) sorts of acts of violence and murder. Sometimes the intoxication of hash- eesh impels the person under its infiu- ence to suicide or the commission of acts forbidden by morality. All au- thors are unanimous, basing their opin- jon on numerous observations among Eastern peoples, that the long use of hasheesh weakens the body and causes atropy, dulls the mind and creates hy- pochondria, idiocy and mania. Those who indulge in hasheesh have a fixed look without expression, and an idiotic appearance. According to statistical information obtained from the lunatic asylums of Cairo and Bengal, the ma- jority of the maniacs and idiots be- come such from abuse of hasheesh. In most Eastern countries the importa- tion, cultivation and sale of hasheesh is forbidden, but it is used in large quantities nevertheless. The March of Color. In the early months of summer white fiowers predominate in the northern field and garden. In July yellow flow- ers begin to prevail and their reign seems to culminate in August, which is the month par excellence of golden hues. In September and October the endancy passes to blue and purple One cannot help noticing that this march of color among the fiowers, carrying them from white in the spring to blue in the autumn, re- calls the supposed progression of age among the stars as indicated by their colors. It has generally been thought, although the fact has not yet been finally demonstrated, that the white stars are the youngest, that the yellow stars represent the mid-season of solar life, And that the deeply colored stars, red, purple and blue, are those which are fast passing into decadence. If this is true, then in the heavens also we may say white is the color of spring- time and purple the badge of the sea- son of decay. as blossoms. England's Oldest Industry. The oldest industry in Great Britain older it could hardly be, for its ex- istence has been traced back to the pre- historic stone age—is still being carried on at the village of Brandon, on the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk, and is reported to be in a flourishing condl- tion. It is a manufactory of gun and tinder box flints. The work is done in little sheds, often at the back of towns- folks’ cottages.—London News. A Bul-Bul of Muscovy. It's hard to believe that a woman with such a name as Koriboot Dasa- Kavitch can be a nightingale of the lyric stage, but that’s what they call Kori out in Russia, where she hails from.—Boston Globe.

It is contended, even to weariness, that a young woman’s first and fore- most duty should be to make herself proficient in housekeeping; and yet the study which is the surest stepping- stone to this estimable object is incon- siderably forgotten in most cases. It is chemistry—the science which tells what thing re made of, and how their elements. combine with others to pro- duce certain fixed results. In cooking, canning and preserving fruits; wa ing, dying and renovating garments; house-cleaning, gardening and poultry- raising, not to mention the treatment of cuts, burns and common family ail- | ments, the housewife stands in con- stant need of just such practical in- formation as the study of chemistry would give her. 1 Many people hold the eroneous opin- ion that good cooks are blessed with their peculiar gift by nature, and that scientific knowledge would be of no account. They are accustomed to tell with gusto about some aunt who “just throws things together,” but whose cul- inary productions alw: “taste good,” and they hold this up as an argument that a knowledge of the materials she deals with is not necessary to the Yet, if questioned closely, ys admit that even this 1 “sometimes has bad s that her working however good it may be, must fail in the face of adverse cir- cumstances, especially such as are of a hidden nature; and then she has nothing to help her out and produce a successful result from her undertak- ing, whether it be in bread-making, canning corn or any other domestic procedure. Scientific knowledge is nec- essary for that. , too, it would be jal in other ways. Knowing the chemical composition of flour, meat and potatoes, and the effect of various methods of preparation a housewife can put her learning to economical and do her cooking on such a S as to produce palatable dishes with no loss of nutriment and at the least expense. As a matter of fact, an uneducated cook, even though she en- joys the reputation of alwa king things taste good,” is seldom a saving cook; not because she has not the sci- | entific knowledge regarding food ma- | terials and their management, which would enable her to be saving. On | the other hand, an intelligent cook has | a scientific ire i and every process. She is able not | only to produce the most appet { results, but to do so with the gre economy of time, labor and m ‘The same is true in other ments which come under the ¢ the housewife.

Therefoere, we say, let the girls study chemistry in the schcol, not merely for the culture and mental discipline to be derived from it, but for its practical, economic value; and not only “let” them do it, but ist that the school directors furnish the opportunity for them to study at least the elemen the subject.

Let us have it in the common schools, not tucked away as a luxury in the last year of the high school course. Our Household Pets. The custom of having household pets among the lower animals is old as the human race or the domestic ani- mals themselves. They serve as in- teresting studies in natural history; they are good object lessons for child- ren in thoughtful kindness and pa- tience, and are safety valves for super- abundant affection. The dog ranks first, probably because of his naturally demonstrative nature rather than his | superior intelligence to some other ; animals, and some birds. The dog not only becomes an actual member of the family, but too frequently he becomes its autocrat, governing it with a rod of iron, making his own tastes and con- veniences so paramount to other con- siderations that he becomes a nuisance to all but his doting mistr The cat is far less obtrusive in its manners, and, the student of animals declares, { no whit less intelligent or affectionate. It is a quiet, self-contained little beast with a shrewd lack of confidence in } the intentions of its human spon which reminds one of the business man’s maxim: “Believe everybody a liar till he has proved himself othe wise.” Integrity of motive can scarce ly be proved to the permanent s: faction of a cat, but while there i attempt at departure from the usual ; routine of life, it will display a super- 1 ficial truthfulness and affection really quite touching.—Philadelphia Press. Cure for Lightning Strokes. Two doctors have independently ar- rived at the conclusion that most per- sons struck by lightning, and to all ap- pearances dead, could be recalled to | life by applying the method or artifi- { cial respiration in use for resuscitating | the drowned. This method proved suc- cessful in the case of a trumpeter who wag apparently killed at Berlin in 1891. Science and the Flea. Instead of trying to learn the flea’s manner of breathing, the entomologists would be putting in their time better by studying out some sure method of putting a stop to his respiration.—St. | Louis Post-Dispatch. has EE OTE RE — THE ORIGINAY OLD LINE — ‘| Quaker Co.
