If the opinions of many people were put into words they would run something like this " Women are to spend money, to get money, to beg, coax or hoax it, but they never understand its value." The idea is not an uncommon one. It is held, for the most part, by men, but, like your last summer sailor's hat, it is a little • old-fashioned for this teasels. There are three ways in which women get money -through the dead fingers of their dead kin, the living ones of their existing relatives, or by their hands or wits. Lat- terly women make more money. It is now less of a stigma to earn a livelihood than it Was twenty or even ten years ago. There are still, though -morels the pity -those who look askance at the young woman whose bonnet and bread are paid out of her own wages. A woman's ideal existence is in the home. Be she wife or daughter or mother whose hands rule the housekeeping, it should be her privilege,her jealously -guarded care, to wall that defence of hearts with her own loving strength. She should be the cheer- ful, tender helpmeet, the father's staff, the children's good angel, the housewife, the hdine-maker and keeper, and the blessed sunshine. That would be a woman's ideal existence -but then'the man's -Authorities differ, and we all hold our own opinions. I think he should read and write,' plant rose trees and asparagus be good to his wife and mind who his daughter marries. He should -eake his family for walks in the fields in the evenings and the not too early mornings and he should go fishing once a week. When men live that kind of a life woman may re- turn to her ideal existence. But this is not -Utopia. Roses and aspara- gus, and even brook trout -won't do. Man's ideal existence has •become a good deal warped, -and woman's has followed it away from the line of perfection. In the ideal world she wouldn't even Want to know whether asparagus was another name for roses (if she could cook it) ; but in the now - a -day world she does need to know them, Latin roots and all, and, more than all the rest of it, she needs to know the Flee of the roses and those tasty little shoots which look so big in the bunch and go offso dis- tressingly in the boiling. Daughters, too, have been pushed away from that• ideal existence. They, too, often find it does not pay, in even pocket money, to sit around and play sunshine for the fami- ly, just incidentally, while waiting• to be married. All girls hands haven't that little line that the palmist telly us means a hus- band. There are more than enough of them to go around, and so some girls must be the little Sally Waterses of society; only, now - a -days, the Sallies are "bachelor girls," and not old maids, and many of them earn their own living. Now, is it better to depend upon an age- ing father for support, or support one's self. Ie it better to look to a brother, to take the home offered by an uncle, to be one of a cousin's family, or to be Independent? It may net be an ideal existence, but • the world is not an ideal world, and there are a good many glass houses. There must, of necessity, then, be women who stein money. There are two types of them -the one who dignifies the work, no matter what it be, who is not ashamed that it is her own hand that places her own dollar in her own purse; and that other one who is bitterly ashamed at having to work for that vulgar necessity called money which, she declares every one should, o course, have in the hank. She doesn't call it money. It is denominated " remunera- tion," "recompense," " velue foe services," anything, except wages, plain salary or com- prehensive "money." Dickens had seen this "lady." He fitted her up for Little Dorritt. She chaperoned old Dorrit's girls over the Continent and called her salary an "amount paid at quarterly intervals to my credit at my banker's." If a woman honest- ly earns money she should not be ashamed to take it. It is hers, and she should be proud to write a receipt. But whether a woman belongs to one class or another, she is yet a better spender than the one who has never gained money for herself in a fair fight with the world. A dollar earned means more than a hundred cents to spend. It means something added to the character -something which yet re- mains when the money has gone for bread or bon -bons, shoes or violets. The earning of it is a great deal. I honor the woman who can earn her own livelihood. It may be that she peddles apples -well, if he didn't steal them first, and if she doesn't past, them out decayed side down, she is yet a step above the drones. am tired of the unending cry of harden- ed women. People talk of the soil of busi- ness life, the bloom that goes the way of the fruity mist on the plums and grapes. A good deal of it has foundation. The busi- ness woman learns that words are not words and that business affairs yield better returns if the transactions are in writing. It is not a woman's ideal exhitence, but then, what would you? Has the cunning of the merchant, the shrewdness of the broker, the tact of the politician, the suavity of the preacher, any place in man's Utopia? It must not be expected that a woman can live in the ideal ignorant innocence and keep house with it, while's man comes home from his unideal world, which, however, is the best one to have. She would be a great deal too good for him. I do not think he could be allowed in. Money -getting hardens and money -spend- ing hardens; and yet I say the more able women are both to get and spend the better women they are -not ideal ones with wings, and aureoles around their curls, but good, sensible, true -hearted women, on sturdy feet of their own, and bearing in their bosoms loving, unselfish hearts. The blue-blooded aunt of the family doesn't like the woman who earns money. If her neice is one of them she doesn't like her neice. This aunt generally has a- for- tune and an everlasting heart disease, and the wage-earning girl knows too much about money to suit her. She knows that legacies don't amount to much until they are paid, and 'even then are not able to balance one crucifixion of a proper pride. The blue- blooded auntie will not be able to under- stand this, but then, she never earned any money and, ten to one, she doesn't keep ac- counts. 1 like the woman who keeps accounts. She need not be niggardly as some suppose, and it will do her heart good when she has spent her last dollar to be able to exactly determine where it and all its fellows went to. She ought to be able to account for „every cent -not to any one else, if it was her own money, but to herself. She can sit down and preach herself a nice little ser- mon on extravagance, and it will do her far more good than any amount of unsolicited advice and distasteful reproach. Women should understand business and money transactions. Perhaps somebody's wife didn't learn about money when she went to school. Stocks and interest, gener- al banking, and a little law, were'nt includ- ed in the curriculums tlf fashionable board- ing schools in days gone by. Well, teach it to her now. You've no idea weat fun you old Darbys and Joann could have over those "nasty sums." Some men will say indignantly "But my wife's place is in the house." Yes, we'll agree; but he might be asked what he pays his lie insurance for. It may be his wife will be left to attend to his affa ire. "But the lawyers," he adds. Oh, yes, we've all heard of them. There are wives who are their husband's Natroisro. You need n't go to Florida, but take SCOTT'S LS II EMU Of Pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil and hypophosphites.

T are women to whom a bank book is Greek, and a discount some unintelligible disagreement between man and man. Of course it would not be necessary for an ideal woman to understand these things, but an Ideal man would not go and die and leave them for her to attend to. There are gray- haired women done out of their rights be- cause they know nothing of business, and girls in their teens defrauded from their own because they were too innocent. It has become not only expedient but necessary for women to thorougly under- stand money. It will harden them, but only with an exterior protective hardness. Their hearts will still be womanly and beat true. -Canadian Magazine. CAREFUL PLEADINGS. • BY RICHARD mALcoLM JOHNSTON. I am his Highnees' dog at Kew; Pray tell me, Sir, whose dog are you? -Pope, Inscription on Dog -Collar. Sheep .raisiug and doge -But this is one of the very'vastestamong themes, and my in- tention is to tell of only one brief incident among the thousands and thousands found- ed upon this industry and its greet enemy. John Kilgore's farm of• several hundred acres was situated about three miles from town. He was a tall, large, dark, serious, rather choleric man, although he hoped that he was not too overbearing. He knew posi- tively well -that the intense wrath poured forth by him on occasions when his flock of sheep WS8 molested was so far from being unreasonable that he often expressed his re- gret for the limits in his education that hindered the knowledge of words fit to do full justice to the enormity. Among his neighbors were several fox hunters. With all of these he was upon terms of respect- able, with a few of rather warm, friendship -that is, as warm as possible considering the circumstances, although he was free to declare to them, as well as others, his sur- prise, to say nothing of disgust, at their fondness for such a mean; low-down kind of sport. He was even bold enough to say that he wished in his heart that such a thing as a fox had never been invented, and that a law might be made that every hound within ten miles of his place should be hanged or shot (to him it made no diffei once which), and that net another one of them should be rais- ed under pain of fine and imprisonment. " Because " he argued in support of his views, "the miser'ble villian whelps, why they jes' know theirselvee to be nothin' but rogues when it cornett\ to sheep and hen. nestesses ; which them is not of high impor- tance, exceptin' the mad it makes women in the disapp'intment of their calolations about fried chicken and so on, But when it comes to such an article as sheep, 'twern't for which, saying nothin' of their mutton, people would positive freeze up in the win- ter time, it's a positive enigmy to me that people ain't required by law to chain up theireclogs at night. Because, and I'll jets' tell you, dogs, and special hounds, they know what a innercent fool thing a sheep is. That tine rams among 'ern they'll butt one another in the fall of the year tell a body - might think it were the positive thunder of the sky, more or less. Yit, when a dog come among 'ern, of no size or description under the sun, it seems like all, every bit, of their sauces has flowed clean away, and even a ,ram among 'em is worth no more'n the very littlest spindlin'est yoe, which if two or three of 'em would whirl in on hint they could knock his very liver and lights out of him. Or ef the poor things could know how to squeal like a dog does, in that kind of case it wouldn't be such a everlastin' teetotal destruction. And, to show what rogues they are, not once 'n a hundred times will they set on sheep in the daytime; but they'll wait tell people is asleep and a not a-expos:Ain', and then they'll sneak out, and in gen'l every single one of 'em by his lone - self, and he'll kill two and three, and some• times five and six; and after suckin' of their blood he'll sneak back home before de,ybreak,tryin' to look innercent as a angel. It was, indeed, difficult to detect such thieves in the act. Notwithstanding their apparent infatuation for the flesh, particu- larly the blood of this animal, there often was to be noticed much sagacity in their method of assault. Whenever evidence of guilt was forthcoming, there were none who hesitated to give up the thief to tbe killed. Indeed, hunters themselves, among whom were some of the best citizens, took much pains in that regard, not hesitating to shoot on the split any of their pack known, or strongly Siuspected, to have gone upon such marauding. Some believed, however, that occasionally an innocent victim had been sacrificed to Mr. Kilgore's charges, founded upon suspicion rather than such evidence as would have been asked for by any but him- self. People yielded in cases of insignificant importance rather than offend or hurt one who otherwise was entirely respectable, and who on the whole was, or meant and tried to be, a good neighbor. He never thought of such a thing as the possibility of this mak• ing a mistake in such charges, because he honestly believed that, excepting his own well -disciplined our, which he kept as a guard for his premises, every individual of the canine rice was in heart, if not in deed, a sheep thief. That very cur, whether from instinctive judgment or warned by tradition of examples among several of his predeces- sors, was wont, at the sight or hearing or smell of a sheep, to shrink his tail within his hind legs, and, with expression upon his countenance of gravest apprehension, retreat to the most hidden corner he could find under the house. Oh, yes ! such were John Kilgore and his ewn dog that knew him the best. Near the public square of the village, in the largest house therein, dwelt the smallest citizen -General Snew he was called; al- thongh he was not, and never had been, a military person. Somehow, perhaps ny mere accident or joceseeese because of his dimin- utive size,the title fell upon him many years before, as it has done upon Tom Thumb and other unwarlike indi.iduals, and no pains were ever taken to throw it off. A bachel- or, rich, although now past sixty, scrupu- louely neat in drew), which was always of beet materials, fond of, and constantly sup- plied with the very beat things to eat sad to drink, be seldom visited at ether hinges, and not often was a man, never a w ' ismon at his own. Yet he was remarkably affable what time he was upon the street, and par- ticularly polite to any who came to his hoops on business or other cause. Ono* is year he travelled to Augusta, to colleot in- terest on his bonds and lay in such things its he could get there to evident advantage, I believe these were the enly occasions when he was known to leave the town. Some country people regarded him as a wouldsbe aristocrat because of his solitary, luxurious living, although, in ways which he tried to keep hidden as much• as possible even from those who assisted him, he was known to be generously charitable. Among those who took this view, the most pronounced was John Kilgore, who often saw fit to claim that he was as good a man, every bit and grain, as old Jim Snow, Whom other people might call General, but not John Kilgore. No, air "It's nothin' but proud and it's nothin' but astoracy that he never goes to nobody's house, nor never invites people to come to his'n. If he weren't so little already, it would be a good thing to let him be took down a button -hole or two lower." Yet the general tone of feeling in the corn munity was one of sincere respect for a man who carefully abstained from doing or say- ing anything that might work injury to others. When walking in his garden or the grounds about it, he was usually followed by a large yellow dog, of which he was quite fond, though, for propriety's sake, he sel- dom allowed him to attend him outside. Well tempered, well-fed, well housed and well kept in every particular, there was not a soul till now that had ever suspected him of even a propensity to felony of any de- gree. Yet we all know, of course, that a dog is a dog -that and nothing more; and somehow It was ever regarded important for him to avoid being given a bad name. That by which this individual went was "Dol- lar," which had been bestowed, out of a harmless conceit of his master, in contrast with "Thrip," another, a very small, creature of that kind on the premises. To this name objection was felt by nobody ex- cept John Kilgore, who imagined that in it he could detect a purse -pride which the owner sought to impart to every single blessed thing on his premises. "Dollar I Name a dog Dollar; like he, little old Jim Snow, must think he can flip In people's faces the money he's got, and set there in his big house with nothing to do but read his books and live on the fat o' the land, and name one dog 'Dollar' and anoth- er one 'Thrip.' I think it's a insult to the community, myself." One morning he rode into town. His double-barreled shot -gun was upon his shoul- der. After dismounting and fastening hishorse to one of the racks on the square, he moved i toward a group of men seated in chairs ne r the entrance of one of the stores. T e frown upon his countenance, although rex - lutely threatening, was subdued somewhat by an item of satisfaction in the vengeance on his mind. " Howd'ye, Johnny 1" first greeted good old Mr. Evans. "What you fetch your gun in for? Is she out of order, or have you been a -hunting ? " Mornin', Uncle Billy and the rest of you gent'men. No, sir • I jes' brung her in to shoot a dog that's been after my sheep." "High ! That so? Town dogs got to run- ning after sheep! "They'll all do it, Uncle Billy; every mother's son of 'em when they once git the appetite. That they will. Same as a oat and a rat. I've made a study of dogs and sheep, and I know what I'm a -talking about." , Then he threw a threatening glance up the street. " Who's in for it now ?" "That yeller dog of old Jim Snow's that he had the face to name Dollar; that's who." " My ! Gen'l Snow's fine dog? I'm aston- ished; sorry, too. The Genii thinks so much of him. Why, that dog gets the greatest plenty to eat at home, and that of the very best. My, my I It will hurt the Gen'l sure. You perfect certain in your mind it's him, Johnny ?" Repressing as well as he could resentment at the doubt, he replied: "Yes, sir, perfect certain. He was saw this mornin' at daylight snea.kin' along the fence close to where he'd killed and sucked every drop of blood out of two of my very finest young yoes. It's jest ableged to be him from the description. You say you're sorry; Uncle Billy. I ain't, One dog's no better and no worse than any 'neither dog in sech a case; make no differ'nce what his mereter may think of him, or his ownself added in to the calogation. Old Jim Snow mayn't think so, and that, because a eog be- long to him and he have the name of " Dol- lar, ' people oughtn't to even open their mouth, but let him pick and choose among people'. sheep like they jee' raised 'em for only such as him and his mantels" "Oh, I agree with you there, Johnny, and there isn't a doubt but what the Gen'l will do the same. He's not a man to put up with sheep -killing, whether it's his own dog or anybody else's. You're not going to have any difficulty with him about it." "1 hadn't been studyin' whether I'm to have any difficulty, provided I can lay my eye on the dog." After some further conversation on other topics, the hunter, shouldering his gun,stalk- ed up the street. "Now ain't it a pity," said Mr. Evans, " that, good man like Johnny Kilgore tries and wants to be, be should fly off the helve, lose his temper,and go on as he's doing now! He knows that ain't the way to do; go marching with his gun on his shoulder up to` a private house, like he was looking for some villain that's harbored there. I doubt myself if the dog's guilty. At any rate, he ought to know that ain't the way to go for him. But Johnny's got a prejudice against the Gen'l, anyhow; I don't know what it's for, without it's because he's never been in- vited there, and because the Gen'l has got more than he has. There he goes, slinging the gate wide open, like he was even mad with it too." The assailant, leaving the gate open, strode heavily up the walk, ascended the steps, and knocked loudly at the door. The hour was at hand when, according to his habit for many years, General Snow was about to take his first, always moderate grog. At the knock, he laid down the tumbler and took his hand from the decant- er stopper. Emerging from the dining - room and entering the hall, when he saw the visitor'he approached quickly, and, taking his hand half extended in meeting, cried: " Why, neighbor Kilgore! This is an honor. Glad to see you ! Come right in and take a seat -that is, after we go to the sideboard a bit. Stand your gun in the cor- ner there. Well, well ! piece of good luck to me, your coming just as I was about to take my grog. Delighted to have your company. "It's not worth while, Mr. Snow. Time's short with me. I come to tell you that I want to shoot your dog for bein' among my sheep last night." "That so ?' exclaimed the hoot. "Hut ! tut! That is bad news. Wouldn't have believed it of Dollar, hadn't been told by such a respectable man, who, as everybody knows, raises about the best mutton, at least as pod mutton as any that ever comes to market. The deceitful fellow! And he knows perfectly well that there wasn't a particle of earthly necessity for it, because he's fed just as regular as I am, and, except, of course, that its scraps and leavings, lives as well. Dear, deer! the rascal knows how fond I am of him; but he'll find himself Much mistaken elf he's been counting on my taking up for him. I love mutton too well for such as that, to say nothing of other people's rights. So that's all right, neigh- bor Kilgore. But needn't be in a hurry. Stand your gun there and let'go to the sideboard.

I can't tell when my feelings have been so run over and hurt as that dog's done. Come, come to the sideboard." Some relenting and a trifle of shame pos- sessed Mr. Kilgore, when, standing his gun as directed, he followed the General. The latter, after cooling a tumbler 1 with the water -pitcher, handed it with accustomed politeness. When the glasses wee lifted, he said : I "Here's to good mutton allover the world, and the downfall of all mutton-kill.ng dogs !" \ Opening a door in the sideboard,1 he took out a plate of doughnuts, and, handing it, said: "Worth while to lay some sort 0 foun- dation for grog, to keep it from seizing on to something inside of a fellowj that he might not feel like having put to tat use. We'd as well sit down in here, u ighbor, and it mayn't be amiss to wet our o her eye after a while." i When they were seated, Mr. Kilgore, not without noting how much better than what he was used to was this whisky, munching slowly at his morsel, listening with contin- ued, fast enhancing interest as the general discoursed upon the immense importance of mutton and the sore misfortune caused by losses inflicted by dogs. Occasionally he could not forbear to put in a word Of soft regret tor the impending fate of poor Do , "Do, sir," among other things he l said, "I wonder there's never been a law to pro- tect farmers in that way. If I was tot go to the Legislature, I'd make it my main busi- ness to try to get one passed; that I Would. Poor Dollar ! He's lying out there in the yard somewhere, not even dreaming of what's coming, and I can't tell you bow it would relieve me if I could feel that maybe he is innocent, and that it was some other dog. Of course that's impossible, I suppose but somehow I naturally love that dog. You know people, especially an old bachel- or like me, that's got nothing else to pet, how he'll get attached to such things; Pshaw ! Come, let's wet that other eye." As he rose, after a restrained, tnourtful cough, Mr. Kilgore thought that he saW a -tear almost ready to fall from the eye which, with such fitness all around, It was proposed to moisten. To the resentmePt, that before now was clean gone, succeeded profound, even affectionate, respect for the host. When the soothing regale was over, ke- 1 garding him with (denim eminently inoffen- sive, Mr. Kilgore said: ' "Gen'l Snow, I shall not kill that dog, because I've come to the conclusion in my mind that he's not guilty of the above. Come to think of it, that dog of your'n haVe not the jewlap were on that dog thet run Into my sheep. And I want to tell you, Gen'l Snow, that I respect you, air, and that I never hear a man talk farrer nor squarer nor behave politer on -on the present oe- erasion, sir; I respect you, air, and I bid vote - , farlwell, sir, Gen'l Snow." ' Mr. Evans, who used to tell this 'Moil. thus with much unction, often said abou h , , "The Gen'l was perfect certain in hist mind the dog weren't guilty, because he'd got up this morning long before sun -up, and Dollar, that sleeps on the back piazza, meti him when he came out nothing amiss. But, he saw how to deal with such a fellow as Johnny Kilgore, a -meaning to not let on but'what he believed him, and then set to 'silage him down if he could, and if he couldn't, he was going to make his nigger boy, Benjy, hide the dog, and -then, if any rumpus was cut up, to send for the sheriff to come and take Johnny out the house., You may ask Johnny to -day, and he'll telll you hien'l Snow is a fa'r, sq'ar, polite gentle- man as he ever want to mime up with." " 1 Catching Cold. People sometimes refer to certain fine days as "weather breeders." The common colds to which all are so liable may be called a disease breeder, as I think a majority of illnesses begin with, and are caused by colds. Farmers are among the exposed classes, the most liable to this very trouble- some complaint -very troublesome whether It results in serious sickness or even death, as is often the ease, or only in a "bad cold,' I know an old farmer who will never .iti down to rest in the shade but always in th sunshine. The blowing Of the wind in th open air, however, is not nearly so bad as e draft inside a building; here it is partictel- larly dangerous. I care nothing for a soak ing in the hayfield from a sudden shower or on my way to the house, if I rub off dr and change clothes at once on getting there. I pride myself somewhat on avoiding colds yet get caught about once a year. Cooling off too rapidly by those accustomed t hearty exercise is in most instances the cause of colds. This can be avoided by resting in the sun or some warm place, put ting on a coat or moving about quietly The wearing of flannel, by all past middl age at least, is almost a necessity, and luxury as well, when once accustomed to it It allows the perspiration, so profuse with the farmer, to pass off much more freel and quickly than cotton or linen, and with out a sense of chilliness. -S.
