Sir DowN TO WoRK.-All women
should economist their strength as much
as possible while they are young and
healthy, and still more il they are aged
and feeble. One way TO do this is 10 r. /
one set OF muscles while the others are
acting. Begin early in the morning by
sitting down TO your work before becom-
ing tired, and you Withhold out better
through the day. Place light box in
chair TO make il high enough to sit at
the table to work. You can iron, wash
dishes, mix bread, roll out PIE crust,
and many other things with far less ia
tigue than il standing. Women cannot
keep on their feet very long at afime

men assured me that they have seen
Rev. DR.. Boyd deliver asermon IN

lated to me the following story -
Travelling one day in railway car
rage. ''1rhe Country Parson' had for
his neighbor plainly dressed but ex-
tremely intelligent man, in whose con-
veFsalion he became much interested.
On finding that the stranger intended
getting out at the town in which he
resided, be expressed his disire to in
vite the clever unknown to dinner. but
added that 1t would be impossible, as
Mrs. Boyd always required gentlemen
10 dress for dinner. Having made this
graceful speech. the parson exchanged
cards with his neighbor, who was The
Duke OF Argyll The parson stam-
mered the parson apologized; the
parson WAS snobbish enough to eat
his own wofds and beg the Duke
to wivs ceremony. II Is Unnecessary
to say that the Duke OF Argyll did not
waive ceremony. III is unnecessary to
say that the story has flown, from one
