MRS. STANTON’S BEGINNING. 
W HEN Elizabeth Cady Stanton was 
eleven years old, her only brother 
died, says a writer in Demorest’s Maga¬ 
zine. Although his daughters were 
dear to him, Judge Cady had a greater 
feeling of pride and hope in his boy. 
As he sat by his dead, little Elizabeth 
crept into the room, and getting up on 
his knee, laid her head against his beat¬ 
ing heart and waited till he spoke. 
Presently he said, “ Oh, my daughter, I 
wish you were a boy ! ” Throwing her 
arms around his neck she said, “ I will 
try to do all my brother did.” 
And she kept her word ; she studied, 
she won prizes in Greek, and stood at the 
head of her classes in the academy, ex¬ 
pecting to till her brother's place in her 
father’s heart. The father, watching 
her, at last told her that she should have 
been a boy, thinking that would be 
compliment enough. Then it was that 
she realized that the world at that day 
did not look upon talent or merit, per 
se, but asked whether it was found in a 
boy or girl ; and she rebelled at that in¬ 
justice, and has never ceased doing so. 
Until she was fifteen, she was a faith¬ 
ful student at the academy, being the 
only girl in a class of boys in mathemat¬ 
ics and languages. She spent many of 
her leisure hours in her father’s office, 
and here she used to hear the old Scotch 
women narrate their woes ; for their 
husbands had brought from the old 
world the feudal ideas of woman and 
property. She used to beg her father 
to help them, and he would take down 
the book and show her the laws. The 
students in the office, seeing her discom¬ 
fort, would point out the worst of these 
laws, till she would cry with grief and 
mortification. 
She began reading these laws for her¬ 
self, marking each one as she read, and 
thus increased her abhorrence of their 
injustice. Her father told her when she 
was grown up, she should go down to 
Albany, tell the legislators about the 
sufferings of these Scotch women, get 
them to pass new laws, and then these 
would be dead. He told her this as he 
would have told a fairy tale ; yet he 
foreshadowed the dream of her life, 
and outlined that which, to her, later, 
seemed her line of duty. Many years 
after, when his fairy tale had become a 
real truth, he was a great opposer to 
her public career. Many women can 
stand for principle when the men of the 
family help to hold up their hands, but 
few have bravery enough to fight out 
the principle in their own homes. 
ODDS AND ENDS. 
Pot cheese is best made when the 
milk has curdled quickly ; otherwise the 
curd is likely to be stringy. Set the 
vessel of sour milk on the stove, and 
heat slowly, not stirring much. As soon 
as it seems cooked, pour through a col¬ 
ander, and when it has drained a few 
minutes, press with a spoon or with the 
hands. Work in a piece of butter, salt, 
and put in some sweet cream. It can be 
made ready for the table in an hour, 
and gives an agreeable variety to the 
bill of fare. aunt rachel. 
Woman in the Labor Market. — 
Woman realized 40 or 50 years ago, that 
the peaceful arts which made her an im¬ 
portant factor in economic life, were 
rapidly being wrested from her by the 
invention of machinery and capitaliza¬ 
tion of the trade and professions which 
underlie the home, says Mrs. Ellen M. 
Henrotin in the Review of Reviews. In 
the past, she virtually controlled the 
spinning, weaving, cooking, sewing, in 
fact all those peaceful trades which men 
have created into great industries, and 
so have obliged her to leave the hearth 
and follow them into the factory and 
industrial centers. Any discussion of 
the labor movement which treats of 
woman as a new factor, is based upon 
misapprehension. In the labor market 
she has always been, and there she will 
always remain. But like the man, she 
must follow whither her trade or pro¬ 
fession leads her, and if in the history of 
industrial invention, they pass out from 
the home, she must go with them. This 
is the beginning and end of the discus¬ 
sion of woman in the labor market. 
Destroys the Taste. —So many vic¬ 
tims of the tobacco habit acknowledge 
its hurtful effects, yet do not have de¬ 
termination enough to deny themselves 
the indulgence. A writer in the Table 
relates an interview with Alexander 
Dumas fils, whose common sense, in this 
instance, we can but admire : 
He remarked that no real gourmet 
smokes. “You can have no idea, as a 
smoker,” he said, “how smoking de¬ 
grades the palate. No cook ought to 
smoke, and nobody who esteems the 
pleasures of the table. Some months 
ago, I stopped smoking altogether. I 
used to smoke several cigars and cigar¬ 
ettes every day, but my doctor told me 
I was injuring myself, so I threw away 
a cigar which I was smoking at the 
time of our consultation, and have never 
lighted one since. I have never ceased 
to congratulate myself on my action.” 
He impressed me so much by what he

said, that I, too, one day made the reso- 
tion to give up tobacco, and kept my 
resolution for about six weeks, till, din¬ 
ing one night at poor Count deKessler’s, 
I was unable to resist one of our host’s 
most excellent Havanas. I must say 
that, during this six week 3, I had full 
confirmation of the fact that, as Dumas 
put it, the use of tobacco does degrade 
the palate. _

6748. Child’s Apron. 
This dressy apron is made of fine, white 
lawn, prettily trimmed with Hamburg 
embroidered edging and insertion. The 
low, square-shaped yoke is joined in 
shoulder seams, and forms the upper por¬ 
tion, the full skirt beiDg gathered at the 
top and joined to its lower edge. A band 
of insertion edges the top of the yoke, 
and forms a heading to the frill of em¬ 
broidery. Full sleeves are gathered at 
the top and sewed in the arm’s eye, the 
edge being decorated to match the yoke. 
The apron closes in the back, wide sash 
ends being attached to the sides at the 
waist line, and tied in a bow with long 
ends at the back. Pattern No. 6748 is 
cut in sizes for a child of four, six, eight 
and ten years of age.

-Margaret E Sangsterin Harper’s 
Round Table : “ There is no pleasure 
which surpasses that of swift motion, 
when one is young and strong, and the 
blood courses buoyantly through the 
veins, whether the motion come from 
skating, running, riding or going for 
ward in any sort of progress which re¬ 
quires exercise.” 
_Rev. Meriiit Hulburd : “ I stand in 
favor of the admission of women to the 
General Conference—when woman wants 
it. Not when some women want it, but 
when woman as woman, wants it. And 
the man who does not favor it when 
woman wants it, will find himself in 
just about the condition of the Indian 
who lassoed the first locomotive he ever 
saw, and the last.” 
_Mary H. Krout in Inter-Ocean: 
“ It is a natural sentiment that inspires 
the man who has monopolized most 
things in this world worth having, to 
consider himself the highest, holiest re¬ 
ward a woman can expect in this life, 
and before which the rewards in the life 
to come almost pale into insignificance. 
It is natural—the logical sequence of 
the teaching of ages—and it is incredible 
that there should be those whose intel 
lects have been quickened by knowledge 
and liberty that should presume to ques¬ 
tion the valuation which man has thus 
placed upon himself.”
