Let's Teach Girls Courage.
Now that women have been give

I've been wondering if it wouldn't b
a good thin:; to make the early train
ing of our d augh•tevs the sante ae the
we gi•=e oar sons. For if men and wo-
men are to be on a plane of eganlit,
what more reasenab'.e than that they
should be started off alike in baby-
hood? As it is to -day the traitth g
given our boys is very dissimilar from
that e accord our daughters.
Courage aero;;• the most admirable
trait in a man, we start to tieveleping
it in cu men -children from theh•
carliee :lays. Hut physical ecus(;;
net being g so nese.5sary in women, we
fail to m e ,: its desirability en aur
aanglite s, wilt the result that though
sc+nte of there arrive at inatrrity with
plenty of physical courage, there is a
large per cent. who fail to cultivate
either the physical or moral sort.
A group of small children ran ing
in ages from two to fire were playing
in the yard the other day, Soddenly
the air was rent with the laud wails
o[ a taro -year-old girl. Doors flew
open and mothers rushed out from a
half dozen houses, while older sisters
and brothers from across the street
left their ball gree to hurry to the
rescue. Inquiry developed the fact
that Mary Ellen had stubbed her toe
and fallen down in the grass. She
wasn't hurt, net the littlest mite, but
her mother picked her up and kissed
and hugged her, someone else gave her
an apple, a third promised her an auto
ride, while everybody blamed "the
naughty old ground" for bumping the
baby. She was made quite a heroine'
and encouraged to magnify her little
ills.
A half hour later there was a real
sh1aI cry of pain. It was a three-year..
old boy—everybody knew in both in-
stances who was crying, cries are as
.distinctive as voices. He had fallen
down the steps and cut his knee on
the concrete walk. Blood ran down his
leg and he really was hurt. Was there
the same. commotion? Nobody ran
out. The next-door neighbor looked
out the. window and laughed, the chil-
dren across the street mocked him,
and his own mother came to the door
ar-d commanded him to stop cryLib
and ben man!
If you want to teach stoicism it was
the proper thing to no, and at any
rate, it was far saner treatment than
the little girl got. But if it was good
treatment for the boy, why wasn't it
equally good for the girl? Why teach
him to grin and bear it, and encourage
her to grow into a cry-baby? When
that girl becomes a woman she .is
going to meet a great many bumps.
Wouldn't it be better to prepare her
for them as she goes along, than to
coddle her through infancy and young
girlhood and then thrust her entirely
unprepared, into a world full of hard
bumps and bruises? Why wouldn't it
lea a good thing to teach our girls
fortitude and physical endurance?
Those attributes are just as necessaey
in home -making as they are in wage-
earning, There would be less whining
and fewer complaints when things
didn't go right, for complaining is
really a sign of cowardice and weak-
ness.
Teach the girls that life is a game
of give and take. There has been too
much- giving the best room to sister
and letting brother take what he can
get. We have Insisted all too long
that brother must be a gentleman and
give up to sister because she is a girl.
Let's make simple justice the rule in-
stead of sex. Let the girl know she
must expect nothing simply because
she is a girl. Teach her to be what
the boys call a "good sport," to play
the game fair whether it is a child's'
game or a youth's work. Let's bring
her up as we do our boys, to be brave,
honest and independent, claiming no-
thing which is not hers by right, and
insisting on getting what is her due.
We can't do this by coddling, by
encouraging her to cry when she is
hurt, mope when she has a little ache
or pain, or -to take petty revenge
when she is thwarted, If she is to be
the sort of woman the world is suffer-
in.g for to -day she rnustn't be brought
tip to be a "little lady." She must
be taught, as her brother, to take a
";sporting chance."

To Prevent Needles from Ilusti!,a.--

Pressing Woolen Goods and Silks.—
When pressing a wool fabric or a piece
of fine silk, lay unbleached muslin
over it, in order to prevent glossing,
After passing the iron over woolens,
lift up the cloth and brush the nap
with a stiff brush.—Miss Z. I. D.
Reinforcing Stockings.—A good way
to strengthen the children's stockings
is to sew strong black muslin on the
bias, inside the heels and knees. It
will not show and will treble the life
of the stocking.—Mrs. 3, J. 0'C.
Convenient Rubber -Lined Bag.—A
rubber -lined sponge bag is a handy
thing to have when traveling, but if
you cannot buy one the size you wish,
you can make an oilcloth bag. Take
a piece of white oilcloth of the re-
quired size for the lining, and make
the outside of dark cloth or pretty
cretonne. Make the bag in the shape
of an envelope and fasten with a dress
snap, or it may be made square and
gathered with a drawstring.—M. C. R.
Pieces of felt pasted on the bottom
of lamps or bric-a-brac that stands on
polished surfaces, will prevent ugly
scratches from marring the furniture,

Lightening the Husband's Day.

great deal, often far too much for a
woman to rho in addition to her house -
hold cares.
But there is a very good way in
which the wife may help her husband
singe from sharing the active work
out of doors. I mean by the work she
does in the kitchen. Good cooping has
more to do with the farmer's success

kind of work in good shape, going to,
his rest at night with a clear brain
and ready for the sleep which will
come to him.
This snakes it well worth while for
the farmer's wife to study the food
she prepares and give its cooking the
best possible care. Often it is not
possible for the farmer's wife to get
just the things she would like, especi-
ally at some seasons of the year. This,
places heavier strain upon her to see
to it that what she docs have is cooked
well and served in an attractive man-'
ser. Farmer folks do not need such a
great variety as may be supposed at
any time of the year, Good, plain,
simple food, well cooked, is enough to
give health and strength for the day's
work. One thing above all is neces-

the watch alone. I heard the sound of
footsteps in the street below, echoing
with a lonely sound; the rattle of a
loose shutter an a sudden gust of wind;
then, dead silence, followed after an
interval by the scampering and angry
squeak of mice in the wall. The mice
disturbed me again. There was a shat-
teninu' of loose plaster; and, suddenly
opening my eyes, I saw the ghost of
gray daylight stealing underneath the
blind. The time had come!
Silently the three of us stole up the

and all we had ever seen from the hall
below was a cramped passage, guard-

• Lead-Polsoning Dangers.
Cotioi:-sphmers work in a warm at-
m0sphcre; the damp air prevents the
fibre from becoming brittle, and thus
snapping, and, in consequence, these
workers often suffer from complaints
of the chest
But undoubtedly the most danger-
ous employment of this kind is that
trcm which the worker can, and often
does, contract mel(Qlio poisoning.
Lead poisoning, for example, affects no
fewer than thirteen different trades,
being particularly fatal to thoso who
are engaged in the production of lead.
The results of this form of poisoning
are terrible. The lead particles find
Weir way lido the system, causing,
among other distressing maladies,
colie, wrist-drop, loosening of the
teeth, and discoloration of the gums
and other Solt parts of the mouth,
Potters, particularly "(tippers" anti
"glost-placer:," who use lead glaze,
are also liable to contract this poison-
ing. In cutting and engraving glass
the operative employs tt substance
compounded of lead and tin, called
putty powder, and• any cnr•olessnoss
on his part, such as touclhlg his food
,, with unwrs'led hands, is more than
likely to bring its own panishment in
the shape of acute poisoning.
