Cheerrulness in the Household.

Every evening when the sun sinks in the
West, and the light Of lamps or gas is needed
to enable us TO continue our employments,
hundreds of thousands of busy men cease from
labor and turn their steps homeward To the
woman Of the family, this return Of father,
husband or brother is one of the events of the
day but how diverse the influence these
workers bring with them, and how varied the
reception with which they are met If it
were possible to lay aside business annoyances
with our hats and coats when we enter our
homes, how we would rejoice to be within
that charmed enclosure Aud yet thus it
should be. Life is battle, of course, and
those who bear their part in it must expect to
give aud receive blows but even professional
soldiers do not fight without cessation, and
the doughtiest warrior must have some
breathing-spell when he can lay aside his ar
NOR Home may be made a sanctuary, to
which we can fee when sorely pressed by the
rude assaults Of trouble and disaster, and
from which We may issue refreshed and
strengthened but it is too often just the OPP

When John arrives at home he expects his
dinner at once, and good one too, for has he
not been working all day to earn money
enough to pay the bills As he is tired and
hungry, he has no pleasant word for anybody
but if the food is under-done or oyer-done.
or does not suit his taste, or is lacking in
quantity how he does scold Susan, for her
part, has had hard day Of IT, The baby
kept her awake a good deal last night, and
has been very fretful during the day, refusing
to be quiet unless on mothers knee. Like
many American women, she is excessively
nervous, and after such a trying day as she
has passed, Johns Indifference aud scolding
are little more than she can stand. SO She
answers him sharply, word for word, aud the
result Of the angry contest is that each passes
dreary evening, and finally they retire to
rest, wondering why the world is so full Of
trouble, and why they were such fools as to
get married.
There are, however other people who live
very differently. Harry means to extract
happiness from life, and does lie likes q
good meal as well as anybody, but he is a,

more cheerful, sweet.tempered wives; that
there might be fewer men who prefer the
club, the counting-room, or almost any place

A Garden for Girls.

The doctors always used to tell the pale
and weak-backed young ladies that broom.
stick exercise would be good thing for them
to begin upon But more attractive idea
than that has been started here. It is the
Newton Garden, SO recently establshed-a
school Of horticulture (which is practically
hospital. The rent of the place is twelve
hundred dollars. There is house on it, with
a greenhouse connected, which is provided
with accommodations for some two dozen pu-
pills. A second greenhouse has been erected
by the girls themselves, who have boarded
and glazed it, all without assistance. This
addition is a square of seventeen feet, and in
both houses thirty-fye hundred plants are
now re-potted and Aourishing. Besides the
greenhouses there is a vegetable garden,
where the girls can 60 out in the season, and
exercise themselves into an excellent condi-
tion of health in the open air. The green.
houses are yielding pretty sum of money al.
ready. They have their meals and recreation
regularly; daily lecture of an hour on sub
jects connected with horticulture, and instruc.
tons in the art Of tying bouquets-which not
all those who raise flowers understand. Girls
who at first could work not more than two
hours daily, soon are able to pass eight hours
in the greenhouse and garden; and their
REDEEMED cheeks and robust health, good appe-
titles, fresh compilations, and red blood are
visible proofs of the benefit which this sensi.
BILE experiment confers. This discovery,
made by beneyolence, ought to be widely

TAILS OUT.-During our travels in
Oregon, says tourist, We heard some
stories, and this is one of them:
A couple of travellers, who were looking
for land, chanced to stay over at farm
house in sparsely settled district. The
house had only one room, and the accom-.
modations were of the most primeval
character. When bedtime approached q
piece of blanket was hung across the room,
the travellers took their moiety of the apart
meut, and darkness aud silence reigued
through the dwelling. 1t appeared that
the chickens, for want of better place,
roasted on the -four barrel; and when it
was supposed that Natures sweet re-.
storer" had got hold of the guests, the
good wife addressed her liege lord:
" l say, john, if you're going to keep a
hotel, you must make different arrange.
ments."
"Why, Sarah Jane?" returned the
sleepy husband.
"Because I'm not going to get up in
this fix to turn the tails Of them chickens. !"

Compound Interest.

1t is remarkable that in this great CON-
mercial age, when the science of arithme-
tic and knowledge of the combination Of
figures have produced such wonderful re-
suits, the full accumulative power Of CON-
pound interest should be so little appre-
ciated. We are from time to time aston
isbed with the results of certain instances
that come to the personal knowledge, but
the impression is seldom deep enough to
do more than arrest our attention for the
moment; and yet this power of accumula-
ton really forms the corner. stone in the
foundation upon which the whole system
of life insurance is raised Indeed, an
English writer says " that interest is the
very alchemy of life assurance aud all
monetary investments; it transmutes even
the most vulgar coppcrs into masses of
hard and solid gold"
The operation Of simple interest is ia
miliar to all of us; but let US take the
words of Mr.. Hillman as lucid cxplana-
ton of what compound interest really is:
Compound interest is the rccompensc
for the loan and the forbearance Of the
simple interest arising therefrom, which is
added to the original sum at each period
Of its becoming due. aud forms a new
principal upon which simple interest is
paid at the next period, when the same
process is undergone"
In comparing simple with compound in
terest, we find that money will double
itself through the former medium in l4l
years, by calculating it at per cent; but
compounded at the same rate, the same
amount will be doubled in 10l years.
The difference, however, is made more
striking by the calculation Of Mr.. Francis
Bailey, who discovered that if two cents
had been put out at 5 per cent. compound
interest at the birth of Christ, it would by
the year 1910 have amounted to more
money than could have been expressed by
357 millions Of globes, each equal to the
earth in magnitude, of solid gold of stand
ard quality; whereas, if the calculation
had been made at simple interest, it would
not have amounted to over 81 83.
Mr.. Hillman carried the larger calcula-
ton on to the end of the 1916, resulting
in quantity too large for human compre-
heusion.

A CURIOUS BIT OF AMERICAN HIsTo'
RY.-The most remarkable thing in the
history of Mecklenburg county, North
Carolina, is the "Mecklcnburg Declara.
ton Of Independence" which was adopted
May 20, 1775, in an old, round log
and clapboard. covered school house, used
as a courtroom, amidst most enthusiastic
shouts. Attached to this document, writes
q correspondent, are the names of seven
Alexanders, many of whose grandchildren
and great grandchildren still reside there.
This was the first action taken which
looked to complete separation of the col.
onies from Great Britain and the estab-
lishment of American Independence. The
paper was taken to Philadelphia by Capt.
Jack and placed in the hands Of John Ad-
ans and Thomas Jefferson, to be presented
to the Colonial Congress; but these gentle
men replied that it was too soon for such
a movement. This was more than one
year before Mr.. Jefferson wrote the De-
claration" adopted on the 18th Of July,
l776. The agreement in sentiment, and
the similarity of number of passages,
prove that Mr.. Jefferson had not read and
studied the " Mecklenburg Declaration" in
vain.

SOMETHING FOR THE LADIEs.-Science
has made discovery of a new method Of
bleaching white goods. 1t is as simple as
it is said to be efficacious, and is vouched
for by German chemists. 1t consists in
dissolviug one part oil and turpentine in
three parts strong alcohol, aud placing a
tablespoonful of the mixture in the water
for the last rinsing. The clothes are to
be immersed in this, we'll wrung out and
placed in the open air to dry, not in q
room. The bleaching action Of the oil Of
turpentinc consists in its chan ging oxygen
into ozone, when exposed to the light, and
in this process the turpentine disappears,
leaving no trace behind. 1t is SO simple
as to warrant one or moro trials.

A FISH SroRY.-Wc met boy on the

"You just orter been down the river a

"Why?" we enquired.
Because niger was in there swim

and swallowed both of his feet and went

with him; aud they came behind another
big fish and the niger swallowed his tail,
and tho nigger aud two fish went swim.

"Well, then what?"
"Why, after awhile the niger swal.

alarm for the boy, "you are in fair way
