• NIV 14:,
At the opening of summer, it is well to
call attentiou to the value of lime -water.
This ia a simple remedy for many summer
evilof the household, and is easily prepar-
ed; but it is often forgotten. A teaspoon-
ful of lime -water added to a glass of milk
corrects the tendency which milk has to
coagulate in the stomach, forming a bard,
indigestible mass. For this reason, it is
frequently ordered by physicians to be added
to the nursing -bottle of children in surruner
It is useful for rinsieg out nursery bottles ;
and as a mild disinfectant, it is oee of , she
safest we have. To prepare its. place a
layer of unslaked lime in a, wide.mouthed
jar and fill it with pure, cold water. The
druggist uses filtered water for this purpose.
Lime makes what the chemist calls a satur-
ated solution in water, aud, therefore, there
is no danger of putting too muck lime in the
water. The wistet will take up only so
much Muses:- When the water has stood a
,tessesheufi it will have absorbed all the lime
it is capable of receiving. It may then be
drained oft and more -water added till the
lime is absorbed, If you are inclined to
acidity of the stomach in the summer, it is
a good plan to add a little lime -water to the
water that you drink.
Where there is any dampness about the
cellar nothing absorbs it more rapidly than
lime. A, peck of lime will absorb more than
three quarts of water, and by this means a
damp cellar may be very Emma dried out.
All that is necessary is to scatter the lime
about the cellar, and to renew it occasional-
ly if the causee of the dampness return. At
this season of the year it is Always best to
keep the cellar window closed during the
day and open at night. The air of day is
much 'warmer than the night -air and there-
fore holds much mordmoisture in suspen-
sion. When the warm air of the summer's
day enters the cellar it becomes euddenly
mixed with the cooler air in the cellar and
the result is a deposit of dew on the side-
walls and a damp and, mouldy oiler, If air
is kept out ot the collar during the day and
let in at night when the air is nearer the
temperature of the cellarair, no such danger
arises, It is to be regretted that so many
of our country people have given up their
wholesome white -washed walls for the more
elegant italsomined ones. No Itelsomine
should be used in sumnier bedrooms or
kitchens, which need the purifying and die.
infecting powers of the yeerly coat of white-
wash. Kalsotnine is seldom renewed as it
lasts so much longer than white -wash ; and
such a kalsomined wall must become more
or less affected in time by the impurities of
the atmosphere in such room, in the same
wity that papered walls are. Let our sum-
mer bedrooms and kitchens at least be
finished in such a way that they can be
thoroughly and frequently cleansed, about
the walls as well asthe floors,

Male and Female Brains.
The average man's brains is between four
and five ounces heavier than the average
Nieman's. The reason, it may be said, is
that the woman herself is smaller than the.
man in size and weight. That accounts
partly for the difference, but riot entirely.
It is shown by many and careful obseeva-
tions that if women were as tall as men,
and as heavy, the average weight of their
brains would be still smaller than that cif
men by more than an mince. The diminish-
ed size and vvcight of the brain is said to be
a fundamental sexual distinction in the hu-
man species. It is not peculiar to civilized
inen and women, but is found universally
among savages, wherever sufficient ebserva-
dons have been made. The difference in
weight does not' exhaust the catalogue of
diversities. There is said to be abaci a dif-
ference of balance between the various parts
of the compared brains. The occipital lobes,
which preside (Allay over the physical filen-
tion of the organism, are .eleektretr -to be
mote volismietoiieritt 'tlie 'female than in the

to common belief. A third striking diver-
sity. is that whilst the matter of the brain,
whieli Las no thought function, is almost
identical in ss eight in the two ilexes, the
specific gravity of the grey, or thought mat.
ter, is deeidedly higher in the male than in
the female, Now, thee° are facts, it is
true that Sir James Criohton Browne has
set there forth, but it is not true that he
has originated them. If any lady is dispos-
ed for a quarrel on the occasion she should
not quarrel with Sir James Crichton Browne
but with niggard nature, or with Mr. Mat-
thew Arnold's unehivalrous "stream of tend-
ency," It appears to be unquestienable
i
that in purely ntellectual endowment the
man is superior to the woman. On the other
hand, in the equally noble emotional cepae-
ity the woman is superior to the man. If
these be the facts, as they certainly appear
to be, it is well both sexes should recognise
and make the best they can of them.
Street Dresses.
Among the most tasteful walking dresses
are those of very light beige -colored home-
spun or twilled vigogne made with a blazer,
or else a cut -away coat, and a waist -coat.
The waistcoat is of white or cream -colored
wool or of pique, and. is single-breasted, out
very high, with small revers. This discloses
a standing collar of linen, and the small
square bow of a narrow scarf of changeable
red and black satin. With this is worn a
cream white straw round hat with stiff brim
and half -high crown. A large Alsacian bow
of black satin ribbon is in front, and. an
aigrette of pink rosebuds at the back has one
high full-blown rose in the middle. A deep
veil of black Tuxedo net is drawn up in
pleats at the back. The gloves are tan -
colored. Suede, and the parasol is of shot
beige and rose silk with a frill of the same
pinked on the edge. A second dress is of
navy blue serge with wide old -rose stripes
edged with lines of green. This is made
with a cut -away coat buttoned only once on
a soft vest of black and rose shot silk with
tiny dots of black; it is puffed out just be-
low the throat in two lengthwise puffs in a
-way becoming to slight figures. Another
gown of plain blue serge has an Eton jacket,
with a wide belt set inside the fitted back to
hold in place a shirt waist of blue silk strip-
ed with bright yellow.
Alpaca Dresses.
Fashionable modistes are using alpacas
again not only in dark gray and tan shades
for nseful walking 'and travelling dresses,
but also in white and pearl -color for pretty
afternoon toilettes. One worn lately by a
guest at a day wedding was of grayish -white,
with a green velvet Figaro jacket,a corselet
and cuffs of velvet, and two narrow velvet
ruffles on the bell skirt. A tan colored
alpaca has bright red surah forming a
shirred yoke in a round corsage, and
a panel of the red silk is down the
front of the skirt. A small circular cape
reaching only to the waist is lined with red
silk, and has a hood similarly lined. Small
button moulds covered with alpaca are "Set
near together down the front of the skirt
and cape, and are joined by loops of brown
cord. Other alpaca dresses, and those of
mohair or brilliantine, are made np in tailor
style, with a coat waist, pointed. in front,
and two tabs at the baclt, or else;of even
length all around. The upper part of the
right side laps far on the left, and is cut in
threedarge points or squares that are edged
ith narrow jet gimp Each point or square
holds a button -hole for a large jet button
placed to meet ib; the losver front is closed
down the middle by small jet buttons in
ball shape. The collar is a high' band edged
with jet; the sleeves are large at the top,
with close wrists; and the Jell sleirt is with-
out trimming.
Canadian Lathes at the World's Fair.
It is expected that the work of the ladies
of Canada will be well represented at the
World's Colombian Exposition. Compe-
tent judges will be appointed in due time to
make the, necessary selection of articles,
and it is understood that arrangements will
be made in connection with ali the leading
exhibitions throughout the country by which
the finest specimens of work may be chosen
for Chicago. Canadian ladies will, how-
ever, bear in -mind that it will be necessary
to show. their choieest productions at these
provincial or local fairs, in order to have
thein selected for the World's Fair. Ar-
rangements will be made whereby the judg-
ment of a competent committee may be bad
on the n,rtioles chosen so that only the very
best samples of the taste and skill of Can-
adian ladies may be sent to Chicago. In
this way an exhibit in every respect credit-
able to the couutry may be collected.
Women and the Marriage Laws.
Perhaps the inost startling thing which
occurred at the recent meeting of the Wo-
men's Liberal Federation in England, was
tbe acceptance of a motion. in favor. of Dr.
Hunter's divorce bill, now before Parlia-

Street Etiquette.
It is decidedly ill-bred -to eat anything
even confectionery, in the street,
No woman, unless in feeble health, should
cling to a man's arm during a daylight
stroll.
Do not discuss polities, religion or love
affairs in a public conveyance.
Personal matters should never be intro-
duced at a chance 'sleeting if the third party
is not conversant with the facts.
No lady will accept a seat vacated by a
gentleman for her convenience without giv-
ing iii return a smile, a bow, or thanks.
It is optional with a lady to recognize at
thesecond meeting a gentleman who has
upon a previous occasion rendered her a
service.
Never swing your arms when 'walking
sinless quite outside the town. Iefree from
observation this will be found an excellent
means to help locomotion.
Bandying words with an employe of a
company is mere waste of time. Should
he be insolent or unreasonable take his num-
ber and complain to those in authority.
Street flirtations are in this enlightened
age regarded as the height of vulgarity.
One breach of good taste in this direction
is enough to destroy your claims to good
breeding.
Fourscore statistical tables. Issued by
the British war authorities, give the lateet
information about the strength and corn,
position of the British arnay„ so far as such
facts and figures can do it.
As in our ova army, the enlisted strength
varies a little from month to month, ac-
cording to recruiting and diSeharges, but
the average strength' for 1891 was 209,609,
made up a follows; Officers, 7,614 ; war-
rant officers, 832; sergeants &a,. 13,199 ;
trumpeters, drummers, &c., 3,368 ; rank
and file, 184,686. Dividing ib Recording to
stations we find that 104,860 are kept In
the British Isles, 72,288, in India, and 32,-
551 in the colonies and Egypt
Another point of interest is the dis-
closure in regard to the territorial system
of recruiting. Of the 35,340 recruits
during the year, 28,863 were enlisted in
England, 3,447 in Ireland, and 3,-
036 in Scotland. London alone fur-
nished 5,537 men. The London Army
and Navy Gazette, which collects the
figures for various recruiting districts, een-
sidres that the pleas ne,territetial recruiting
simply "creates an unnecessary amount of
'ennfusion." It does not deny that there are
some advantages in such a system for some
countries, but questions its value for the
British army, "which is a foreign service
army, recruited from a country where the
railway system has been brought to the
highest perfeetion." Its argument is that
the population, or at least that portion of
its which yields soldiers, is so migratory
that it is best to teke the recruits without
,reference to territorial divisions and assign-
ments. ," The very districts," it holds, "in
which county feeling ought to exist are
time in which the poorest show of martial
enthusiasm is displayed ;" and although
manufacturing centres are known to be
excellent recruiting fields, yet their popula-
thine are more or less roving.
Another subject of interest is that of ages.
Of last year's British recrnits 1,260 joined
under 17 years of age, 321 under 18 years,
16,614 under 19 years, 6,935 under 20 years.
10,967 between 20 and 25 years. On this
point the Gazette thinks a mistake is made
Considering the ages at which Continental
soldiers enter upon their military training,
there is mucli in these figures which the
British taxpayer has to deplore. There is
one fact of which we ought to take cogni-
zance—the unnecessary outlay which such a
system as ours involves. Would it net be
better to lay down a rule that, a. man who
enters the ranks of the army should be paid
as a man and a bay as a bay? Men might
then be attracted in greater numbers, and
boys would, join in the hope of ultimately
securing their man's wage. At present we
draw no distinction between the two classes,
and as a result we fill the ranks with grow-
ing lads who have to be paid, clothed, fed,
and housed as men, and yet are incapable of
doing a man's work. No system could well
be more false; no system could be less cal-
culated to popularize the army among the
classes to which we look to supply the bulk
of our recants.
More important, perhaps, is the question
of the service that will be performed by the
immature lads, The Continental armies
generally put the age of enlistment in the
line at 21 years. It is true that there may
be three years of earlier service, counting
toward the reserve, or laudwehr or milita
term which is exacted like that in the army
itself. But this last is the service which i$
exclusive, and not carried on with ordinary
civil occupations. The British army has
five -sevenths of its recruits enlisting under
tho age of 20. As it is a volunteer service
the case is naturally different from that of
the Continental armies where military duty
is compulsory. Still, there is much specula-
tion as to the relative results in efficieney
under the diverse systems.
The Mothers of Great Men.
A great deal has been written about "the
Mothers of Great Men." We imagine,
however, that the folk of Leonberg, in
Wurt mberg, have started a precedent by
erectingmemorials to a series of mothers of
great men. This little township of about
2,000 inhabitants was the birthplace of
Paulus, the famous Rationalist theologian,
of Schelling, the equally famous philoso-
pher, and of Hochstetter, the naturalist. It
was also the dwelling -place of the mother
of the poet Schiller from 1796 to 1801, and
of the mother of the astronomer Kepler two
centuries earlier, though three villages in
the neighborhood contend for the honor of
having been Kepler's birthplace. The town
council of the "Town of Mothers," as it
proudly calls itself, has affixed tablets to
the walls of the old castle of Duke Ulrich
the Well -beloved, where the Magna Marta
of Wurteisiberg liberties was signed by the
Duke, in honor of the mothers of the poet
and the astronomer. We presume that the
patriotic town councillors will not stop
short at these two honorable womene but
will extend similar tokens of respect to the
other mothers of whom they are so justly
proud.
Lady Salisbury.
Lady Salisbury, has never thrust herself
into notoriety. Her influence, though un-
doubted, has always been exerted in a wo-
man's sphere. Her talent is decided, her
intellect strong, her judgment of affairs
acute, her instinct not incorrect. She has
always seen -what was politic for her hus-
band to do from her point of view, and urged
him to do it. With a woman's personal
feeling she puts her husband's success above
everything. Doubtless believing that the
interests of the government require him at
its head, she thinks everything should be
sacrificed to place or keep him there. If he
could do more good by subordinating his
feelings or repressing his convictions at a
crisis he ought to do so, and in the end be
able to accomplish more.
It. is doubtful whether, with a less acute
judgment and powerful influence at home,
Lord Salisbury would have achieved all of
his present position. With another wife he
might have remained a stubborn obscure
Tory lord, consistent but comparatively
unimportant, writing fine criticisms of some
other premier. Yet no one believes that
Lord Salisbury is anything: but a strong
man; no one supposes he is managed or
controlled unduly by feminine wiles. He
simply has a mate worthy of him, who in-
spires and suggests and encourages and con-
forms.
Lady Salisbury is no longer a young wo-
man, but she is attractive still. Though
never a beauty, she was ether prime genial
in appearance and generously formed. Her
fair complexion and light hair and eyes are
thoroughly Saxon and ber proportions not
unseemly. She dresses with all the magni-
ficence proper to her rank ; her manner is
sufficiently distinguished if not absolutely
imposing; she entertains not only grandly
but agreeably, and, more than many
English hostesses, succeeds in making her
guests really at their ease.
Her blond, physical type is in marked
contrast with Lord Salisbury's dark eyes
and hair and heavy beard.
Assuming the Husband's Name.
The practice of the wife's assuming the
husbaud'e name of marriage, according to
Dr. Brewer, originated from a Roman cus-
tom and became the common custom after
the Roman occupation. Thus, Julia and
'Octavia, married to Pompey and Cicero,
were called by the Romans Julia of Pom-
Pey, Octavia of Cicero, and in latter times
married women in most European countries
signed their names in the same manner,
but omitted. the "of."
Ageinst this view it may be mentioned
that during the Sixteenth and even at the
creginning of the Seventeenth century the
swage seems doubtful, since we find Oath.
ariue Parr so sigeieg herself after she had
been twice married, and we always hear of
Lady Jane Gray (not Dudley), Arabella
Stuart (not Seymour), etc. Some persons
think that the custom originated from the.
Seriptural leaching that husband and Wife
are one. This was the rule of law so far
back as 13raetcm (died 1268), and it was de-
cided it the ease of Bun versus Smith, in the
reign of Elizabeth, that a woman by mar-
riage loses her farmer name and legally re-
ceives the name of her husband. Altogether

` .RATS ON A STEAMSHIP.
They are In Possession and win Not be
lKsloeged.
Probably no ship that enters the harbor
of Philadelphia is more dreaded by the
sailor man than the Earn Line steamship.
Unionist, owing to. the fact that she is near -
ay alive with rats. Thousands of these 'ani-
mals enjoy all the luxury of sea life and
every effort to rid the ship of the plague,
has proven futile. Those on board the
Unionist dread to sleep, as frequently they
are awakened by the snicking sensation of
a number of rats running over any portion
of the body that may be exposed, and thus
the handsome ship is rendered a pest hole
by the intrusion of the rodents. .
Pilot Kelly, who came up in charge Of
the Unionist, says he was very tired atter
walking the bridge all day on the lookout
while she was coming up the river, and
when she was safely anchored he turned in
for it good night's sleep. About midnight
he was awakened by the blowing of rt,ships
steam whistle, and on rising in bed he was
horrified to find himself covered and sur-
rounded by rats, every one as large as a cat.
Mena had nibbled large holes in the quilt,
while others jumped Around on the floor,
pawing at a large piece of bread they had
some way gob from the pantry. Kelly was
frightened, and walked the deck the rest
of the night.
Capt. Reate, the commander of theUnions
ist, is at his Wits' end to know whatremedy
to adopt. He always carries his wife, and
the conditions were mach that he had ereet-
ed on deck a wooden house, in which they
both live nearly all the time. Not long
ago he adopted a plan to smother the rats
by means of closing up all the hatches and
burning sulphur throughout the entire ship.
By this he secceeded in getting rid of a few
thousand of them, but a few weeks later the
ehip Wa.9 as thoroughly infested as ever.
The rola ou board the Unionist are of a
peculiar kind, Some are actuallyas large
as fair-sized eat, and have weighed as
much as four pounde. They are of a rare
species, never seen in this country, and
,Capt, Neate thinks they are the pure East
Indian rat.
The Unionist, for some years previous to
being chartered by the Earn Line Steam-
ship Company, was engaged in the India
trade, principally between Pondicherry,
the French settlement of the Indio, and
Marseilles, carrying peanuts, and. it was in
Ole way that the rats first got on board at
Pondicherry, they being very fond of -pea-
nuts. After this the Unionist went from
England to all parts of the world, but the
rats in the hold had some cargo to gnaw at
until now, and confined themselves to that
portion of the ship, never entering either
the cabin or forecastle,
Since January ,the Unionist has been
earryiug coal to Cuba and reloading with
iron ore, and the rets being unable to sub-
sist on either commodity, have forsaken
the holds and invaded the cabins. The
sailors have all got news of this and it is
next to impossible to get a crew to go in
her, as the rat, above all things, is what
Jack is most afraid of.

"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatia
gout, being able to 'walk only with great
discomfort,. and baying. tried various
remedies, sncluding mineral waters,
without relief, lE saw by an adveitiseq
ment in a Chicago paper that a man ha4
been relieved of this, distressing com-
plaint, after long suffering, by taking
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. 1 then decided to
make a trial of this medicine, alnd took
it regularly for eight 'months. I am
Pleased to say, that it effected a com-
plete cure, and that I have since had no
return of the disease."

writes: "One year ago was taken
with rheureatisra, being confined to iny
house six mouths. I came out of the
sickness very much debilitated, witit no
appetite, and my system disordered in
every way. I commenced to use Ayer's
Sarsaparilla and began to improve at

covering my usual health, 1 catmot say
too much in praise of this well-known

"I have taken a great deal of medi-,
