WORDS FOR WOMEN. 
I wonder so that mothers ever fret 
At little children clinging to their gown; 
Or that the foot-prints, when the days are wet, 
Are ever black enough to make them frown. 
If I could find a little muddy boot, 
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber floor; 
If I could kiss a rosy, restless foot, 
And hear it patter in my home once more; 
If I could mend a broken cart to-day, 
To-morrow make a kite to reach the sky— 
There is no woman in God’s world could say 
She was more blissfully content than I. 
But, ah ! the dainty pillow next my own 
Is never rumpled by a shining head; 
My singing birdling from its nest is flown; 
The little boy I used to kiss is dead ! 
—May Riley Smith. 
_Louisa M. Alcott : “Food, fire and 
shelter are not all that women need, and 
the noble discontent that asks for more 
should not be condemned, but helped, if 
possible.” 
_H. E. Harvey in Westminster Re¬ 
view : “As women have, on the whole, 
obediently conformed to the character 
which was required of them for 6,000 
years or so, I think now that they have 
begun to announce publicly that they 
have opinions of their own, that they are 
due, at the very least, a fair hearing.” 
_T. W. Higginson in Harper’s Ba¬ 
zar : “ However desirable and just it 
is that women’s pay for the same work 
should be precisely what that of man 
is, we must remember that the whole 
question of their employment is in a 
transition state ; and that one great aid 
in their introduction into a great variety 
of pursuits has been the fact that they 
would work for less.” 
PATTERNS FOR R. N.-Y. READERS. 
Write the order for patterns separate 
from other matter, give bust measure 
and pattern number, and inclose 10 cents. 
Each pattern is complete with instruc¬ 
tions for cutting the garment and put¬ 
ting together. 
Misses’ Basque. 
The fronts are arranged over fitted lin¬ 
ings that close in the center in a style 
that is very becoming. The full vest 
portion is box plaited at the top, and 
gathered at the lower edge to droop 
softly over a smooth-fitting girdle sec¬ 
tion of velvet, closing at the left side 
under the jacket fronts. The short, 
pointed jacket fronts are decorated with 
large, fancy buttons, large ripple revers 
turning back at the upper edges and ex¬ 
tending on the back to finish under the 
box plait in the center. The back is 
close fitting to the waist line, below 
which falls, in stylish ripples, the grad¬ 
uated box plait in the center flaring at 
the lower edge. The standing collar of 
light silk has a ripple collar of velvet 
drooping from its upper edge to match 
the cuffs that finish the wrists of the 
full sleeves. Pattern No. 6719 is cut in 
sizes for misses of 10, 12, 14 and 16 years 
of age.

Brighten the Prospect —When there 
is no prospect of having garden vege¬ 
tables, peas, beans, corn or strawberries, 
except by one’s own exertions, then, oh, 
woman ! take the hoe and weedei*, and 
go forth conquering and to conquer ! 
Have the garden at all hazards, and 
thereby, perchance, gain better health, 
a well-furnished table, and, possibly, a 
better filled purse. may maple. 
“Pearl top,” “pearl glass,” 
“tough glass,” “no smell,” 
and “best light,” are great

The Baby’s Bed. —The blessed baby— 
should neither, in winter, nor in sum¬ 
mer, be put to sleep with its elders, but 
in a cr'b by itself. If you can’t afford a 
crib, suspend a clothes basket from the 
ceiling. Make the baby’s bed covers of 
wool—wool batting to line comfortables 
is far and away superior to cotton, so 
much lighter in weight for the warmth 
rendered. The best of mothers, and of 
fathers, are likely in the tossings of 
sleep, to injure a tender infant, so for 
the comfort and health of all concerned, 
give the baby a bed by itself—but not 
low down to the floor, where the bad air 
settles, after the style of the old-time 
trundle bed. m. w. f.

! Drs. Maybe 
and. 
Mustbe. 
You choose the old doctor 
before the young one. Why? 
Because you don’t want to en¬ 
trust your life in inexperienced 
hands. True, the young doctor 
may be experienced. But the old 
doctor must be. You take no 
chances with Dr. Maybe, when 
Dr. Mustbe is in reach. Same 
with medicines as with medi¬ 
cine makers — the long-tried 
remedy has your confidence. 
You prefer experience to experi¬ 
ment—when you are concerned. 
The new remedy may be good 
— but let somebody else prove 
it. The old remedy must be 
good — judged on its record of 
cures. Just one more reason 
for choosing AYER'S Sarsa¬ 
parilla in preference to any 
other. It has been the standard 
household Sarsaparilla for half 
a century. Its record inspires 
confidence — fifty years of 
cures. If others may be good, 
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla must be. 
You take no chances when you 
take AYER'S Sarsaparilla.

25=cent Binder. 
We have been looking for years for a 
cheap, neat binder for readers of The 
Rural, so that the paper could be kept 
clean and preserved for years. Now we 
have it; we can send it, postpaid, for 
25 cents, or will send it to any old sub¬ 
scriber who takes the trouble to send us 
one new subscription. Many readers 
would like to preserve The R. N.-Y., but 
the ordinary binder is too expensive 
This one is so cheap, and, at the same 
time, so serviceable, that we think al¬ 
most every reader will want one. Address 
The Rubal New-Yobkeb, New Yobk.
