A Sharp Shine-'Em-Up.

When Sol Smith Russell, the actor,

the broom had done its work. The
boy received the money with his usual
thankee," and placed the money in
his vest pocket. What did l give

Cling lawyer: young man, sock for eminence

This remark has passed into spopular proverb,
and has received another illustration in the
wonderful success of the 95 Per Cent. Sterling
Rubber Boot" When the Candee Co. first put
these goods on the market there was general
prediction of failure, on account of the relative
high price necessarily asked for boot of such
quality. But the utter worthlessness Of all
other rubber boots bad filed the community
with indignation, and the fact that tho company
had themselves faith enough in the goods to
give three months warrant on them, and TO
stamp that warrant on the boots, and to provide
place for a permanent record of the date Of
sale 30 as to fix the duration of the warrant,
showed degree of confidence and good faith
which tempted buyers TO give the boots trial.
And trial 80 fully demonstrated the great
worth and economy of the boots that they are
gradually displacing all the cheaper goods

The Most Northern Point of the United
states.

William A. Mowry writes in the Ne,C
England Journal of Education:
If the question were asked, (which
is the most northern part of the United
States, excepting Alaskan" perhaps
many would say, "The line of 40 deg,
from the Lake of the Woods to the
Strait of De Fuca." But that an
swer would be incorrect. There is q
point where the United States reaches
40 deg. % min. 81 sec. north latitude.
1t is in longitude % deg. II min. 80 sec.
west from Greenwich.
In other words, at the Lake of the
Woods, in Minnesota, our territory in
Guides small area reaching beyond 40
deg. more than twenty-five miles. This
little excrescence, jutting ont into Brit
ish America, is recently put down in
some of our maps, but have not seen
it on many of them. 1t is indicated
though roughly, upon Cases large map
of the United States and upon large
map published by the Government and
issued by the Land Office. observe il

Husband and Wife.

The Catholic Columbian thinks that
"A great deal of the misery and unhap-
piness that exist in families might be
averted, in whole or in part, ii the hus-
band and wife would only try to under
stand each other and show little more
forbearance with each others faults.
Incompatibility OF temperament is only
another name for stubborness, and will
ever exist where the parties insist on
misinterpreting each others deficien-
cies. Where this mutual understand
ing exists, everything moves along
smoothly. If mistake is made it is
passed over without comment, and does
not become the cause of chickering's and
dlssensions; if hasty word is spoken,
its effects are laughed away and forgot
ten as soon as uttered. In this way
much trouble is avoided that the con-
trary course will inevitably bring about.
Home should ever be the abode of peace
and contentment, and there can never
be a necessity for a contrary state of
things, as there can be no justification
therefor.

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
DIR. storrs ON woman's sphere.

One of the most foolish questions
ever asked is, What is going to be the
sphere of woman when she is SO edu-
Gated? The sphere? If she don't make
her own we may stop prophesying. For
SIX centuries women taught ut Bologna,

LEAP year originated with the astron-
omers of Julius Caesar, As Is. @. They
fixed the solar year at 365 days six
hours, comprising, as they thought, the
period from one vernal equinox tn an
other. The six hours were set aside,
and, at the end of four years, forming a
day, the fourth year was made to con-
sist of 800 days. The day thus added
was called intercalary, and was placed q

sixth of the calends, which was reck-

AFTER long coaxing, with no little
use of the whip, we have seen balky
horse started by putting a lump of dirt
in its mouth. The mind of the animal
seems to be set on not going, and the

the idea entertained, and this the earth
does effectually. So soon as the horse
gives his attention to getting rid of the
earth out of its mouth, it forgets its
balkiness and can be started.

The new watches have, many of them,
white open faces, but those with fall
cases are most popular. A pretty and
convenient watch is one having the dial
in enamel on the face, and III the center
small crystal through which the hands
appear. The most fashionable manner
of wearing the watch is en- chdteiGi7le,

more or less worn, though the first
mentionedis just now the most popular
style.
Conspicuous among fancy jewelry are

A Land Where There Are No Elopement

A Land Where There Are No EIopements
Elopements are not believed in in
Lapland, for if man marries maid
without her parents consent the penalty
is death. When young man has
formed all attachment to u female, the
fashion is to appoint their friends to
meet, to behold the young parties
run race together. The maid is al
lowed in starting the advantage of a
third part of the race, so that it is i'm
possible, except willing of herself, that
she should be overtaken. If maid
overruns her sutton the matter is ended /;
he must never have her, it being penal
for the man to renew the motion for
marriage. But, if the virgin has an
affection for him, though at first she
runs hard to try the truth of his love,
she will without Atlanta's golden balls
to retard her speed pretend to meet
some casualty and voluntarily halt.
thus none are compelled to marry
against their wishes, and this is the
cause in this poor country that the
married people are richer in their con-
tentment than in other lands, where SO
many forced matches make feigned
love and cause real unhappiness.

Susan IL. Anthony on Women and Voting.

We have not gained suffrage per sc
anywhere, but we have gained great
many little points of considerable i'm
portance. The fact that six Legisla-
lures have granted the school suffrage
to women shows the advance of public
sentiment, and the Woman's Congress,
the Social Science Associations in the
different States, the Christian Women's
Temperance organizations, the Woman's
National Missionary Society, and other
benevolent Organizations, are the re-
suits of the education which has been
accomplished by the women suffragists.
You may add to all this, too, the open
ing of all colleges, trades and profess
ions to women as the additional results
of our agitation. We believe that get

A Beauty's Adventures.

One night, in 1901, little girl about
year old was deposited in the drawer
of the Founding Asylum at Brest,
France. She was dressed with much
tinery, and note, attached to her
skirts, told that her name was Solange,
and that she would be reclaimed by her
father. The claim was never made,
however, and in due time the child was
transferred to the Orphan Asylum, to
be educated there. AS she grew up
she developed an extraordinary beauty,
but her intellect appeared to be very
weak, and she suffered from frequent
nervous fits. When she was II years
old she was sent out into the streets TO
sell flowers, and her beauty and mod
esty attracted many peoples good will,
but she grew weaker and weaker, and
at last she died. According to French
custom, she was buried in an open
casket, and, as it was winter and the
soil was frozen, she was laid into the
grave, only secured with thin layer of
sand. During the night she awoke,
and, pushing the sand away, she crept
from this grave. Not exactly under
standing what had taken place, she was
not SO very much frightened, but, in
crossing the glacis between the ceme-
terry and the fortifcation, she
was suddenly stopped by the cutlery,
"Qui vive?" and, as she did not an
swer, the sentinel fired, and she fell to
the ground. Brought into the guard
house, her wound was found to be
slight, and she soon recovered, but her
singular history and also her great
beauty had made so deep an i'm
preston on a young Lieutenant of the
garrison (Kramer) that he determined
60 be her protector and sent her to one of
the most fashionable educational estab-
lishments in Paris During the next few
years Kramer was much tossed about
by the war, but when in 1918 he re-
turned to Paris he found Solapge full
grown woman, not only beautiful but
accomplished and spirited, with no more
trace of intellectual weakness or nerv-
GUS fits. He married her, and fer sew
eral years the couple lived happily in
Paris. Meanwhile Investigations we're
made concerning the girl lett in 1901
in the Founding Hospital at Brest, and,
as these Investigations were made by a
Swedish Ambassador, and in q some,
what official manner, they attracted
some attention. Capt. Kramer heard
about the affair and sent note to the
Ambassador, and month later on the
Ambassador came in state to bring
Nine. Kramer formal acknowledge
ment of her father, the former Gen
!, Bernadotte, who had become King
! Charles XIV. of Sweden. Capt. Kramer
aud his wife went imme diately to
Stockholm; they were ennobled, etc.
and their son was afterward appointed
attache to the Swedish Legation al
Paris.
