What Shall we do With our Daughtersa

Apropos of what Mrs. Livermore's
late lecture on the above important
question said, the Davenport Democrat
thus makes answer:
Teach them self-reliance.
Teach them to make bread.
Teach them to make shirts.
Teach them to foot up store bills.
Teach them not to wear false hair
Teach them not to paint or powder.
Teach them to wear thick warm
shoes.
Teach them how to wash and iron
clothes.
Bring them up in the way they
should go.
Teach them how to make their own
dresses.
Teach them that dollar is only a
hundred cents.
Teach them how to cook a good
meal of ,victuals.
Teach them every day dry, hard,
practical common sense.
Teach them how to darn stockings
and sew on buttons.
Give them a.good, substantial, COM
mon school education.
Teach them to say no and mean it j;
or yes and stick to it.
Teach them to regard the morals
and not the money of beaux.
Teach them to wear calico dresses
and do it like a queen.
Teach them all the mysteries of the
kitchen, dining-room and parlor.
Teach them that a good, rosy romp
is worth fifty consnmptives.
Teach them to have nothing to do
with intemperate and dissolute young
men.
Teach them that the more one lives
within his income, the more they will
save.
Teach them the further one lives
beyond their income, the nearer they
get to the poor house.
Rely upon it that upon your teach
ing depends in great measure the
veal or woe of their after life.
Teach.. them the accomplishments
music, painting, drawing-if you have
time and money to do itwith.
Teach them to cultivate a garden.
and drive road team or farm wagon.
Teach them that God made them in
His own image, and no amount Of tight
lacing will improve the model.
Teach them that good, steady me-
chanic withouta cent is worth dozen
oil patent loafers in broadcloth.

A hint to the Working Man

A man with family, however poor
he may be, owes it to his wife to save
her health and strength in every way
possible. He has nc. right to allow
the mother of his children to wear N +
life out toiling with her. needle to
clothe her family. His duty is to buy
the New Elias Howe Sewing Machine,
the best machine for family sewing
ever invented, and he can buy one fer
sixty dollars. More than this, he can
buy the Howe machine upon terms
which enable him to pay for it in small
monthly installments, that he can pay
out of his wages without feeling the
drain. He will get thereby machine
capable of doing every variety of fam
lily work in the most beautiful manner,
a machine that even child can ope-
rate, and which will prove a perma-
nent family blessing.

Stocks to-day were subject TO few speculative
Influences and the market may oe described as
barely steady. The dealings were small and un-
suggestive. The leading feature was Western
Union which declined from 79A 10 1914, and the
operatlons IN this stock aided In the work OF un.
settling the market. Pacific Mail declined from
81 to &c. with transactions at seller 90 35ss. A
slight rally at the close aided Of the specula-
tive securities, but even with these favorable cir
cumstances the ket was without important
feature. The following is the course of the prin-
cipal stocks:-Western Union opened at 791, but
steadily declined until the close was made at 7SH
