I, • 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, that women Were the upholders of the 'old fi THE BRITISH ALBLMY or TO -DAY. ecclesiastical idea of wedlock.

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 .ina36' a -physiological fact which is contrary 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- nem t, which not only AllOWS to the woman UREST, STROH CgST, BEST. relief from the Marriage tie for the env somdgf,,oviste /XI tip?, thrnitity. leer rataltlrg gos cause as is held sufficient in the caSe of a uses. ria'...3enteeLfagiloPOtiniggigOtaT.mared inan, but so extends the law teat four yeaia' ea-X3CoZarn.te,X.„ wa.a.caaataa, tion of a marriage.

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 Children, Cry for Pitcher's Castorlak ` .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. THOUSANDS IN REWARDS.
