UntidY Girls.

Many girls who are in the evening
genuine ornaments to the parlor, taste
fully dressed and ''neat as a new pin, are
little better than slatterns when perform
ing domestic duties. Ihave no patience
with this untidiness. 1t has always
seemed to me as if Cinderella herself
might have kept out of the ashes even if
she was obliged to stay in the kitchen
and work. To look well while about
housework is worth while. A neat cali
co dress, short enough to clear the floor,
smoothly brushed hair, clean collar
and plentiful supply of aprons, are all
within the reach of any woman, and |
maintain that she will do her work bet
ter, and feel more like doing il If so pre-
pared for it. The moral influence OF
dress is undoubted.

The friends of the Hon. E. L. ConkIite,
of Stephenson, viii be pleased to learn that
he is likely to be the Democratic nominee
for the Legislature this fall. The Freepert
Bulletin in writing on this subject says:
The people could not send a better per
son to represent their interests in the legis-
lature than Mr.. Cronkaite. During his
term of service he has been really the leader
of the democracy in the house, and during
the last two sessions was recognized as
such by reason of his being chairman of the
Joint democratic caucus. He has, more
over, enjoyed the confidence and respect
of the republican side of the house, many
of whom sought his advice when questions
of vital interest to the state were under
consideration. Practically Mr.. Cronkrite
was the only representative the people of
this district had in the last legislature. and
it is to the advantage of every citizen in the
district-whether democratic or REPUBLICAN
that he be reelected. -

A Wife's Portmonnaie.

When Pat was asked why he was
thinking of getting married, he answer
ed: he could almost support himself, and
it would be q poor woman that could
not do little toward it. Many man
besides Pat has been married for the
same reason, but has not been honest
enough to own it. No doubt Kathleen
will be much happier with her honest
husband than she would if he has made
her believe he was worth his weight in
money. What if she does have to 90
out to work, doing other peoples drudg-
cry. She will have the pleasure of re-
ceiving pay for it, and that will be more
than some of her more favored sisters
do. i have known q woman to do the
same amount of work in a year that her
neighbor across the way hired done at
S3 per week, besides caring for a large
family of children. And what wages
did she get? just enough to keep her
from freezing, and not glove or collar

And yet her husband was just as well
off as her neighbor; ''but," said he, 81

tAs The Egyptian war is becoming intensely
: interesting. The British have now on the
ground an immense army, backed up by
the most effective feet the world ever saw,
which no doubt will give good account
of itself whenever used. England, by the
extensive scale ON which she is making
Inspirations, is evidently guarding against
all contingencies that may arrive. The
Situation is fun of danger, and she is pre-
pairing for the worst. However, John
Bull is never satisfied except he is in a

The nativities Of the Queens children

ter. The second son, Prince Alfred, as
he was formerly distinguished. was born
st Windsor. August 6, 1914, at $50 a.

ascending. The most notable position
at his birth was the close conjunction of
the Sun and Mars in the sign Leo. This
denotes great liability to fevers and
violent accidents. The Prince of Wales.
who with mang faults is yet remarkable
for his bon homie, and for the strong
personal regard in which he is held by
his immediate friends and the people in
his domestic establishments. The fa-
vorite epithet applied to the heir appa-
rent is the word jovial, and the cores
pondents tell US much of his affable hob
nobbiug with actors, literary men and
others. The Prince of Wales was born
with Jupiter rising jovial is
very correct word. All these words, de-
scriptive briefly, succinctly and graphi-
cally of character, are relics of the for
mar general belief in astrology. From
this doctrine we have our words satur-
nine, mercurial, martial, etc. 1t is GU

The same is found in the other old poets.
The unfortunate Princess Alice had
an interesting horoscope. She was born
as Venus was rising and possessed many
amiable and attractive qualities, and
was one of the most popular members
of the family. The Sun was in conjunc-
ton with Mercury and approximately in
parallel with Jupiter. Her mental fac
ulties were very bright, and it was said
that while yet in her teens she was one
of the most highly accomplished young
ladies OF Great Britain, particularly fond
of books and art, and with q mind of
wider sphere in many ways than usual.
The Sun was the hyleg, or life-giver, at
her birth, and was afflicted by the ses-
quidate aspect of Mars, the same evil
planet AlSO aHllcIinS the Moon Dy square
aspect: The Sun was in the sign Tau
rus, which rules the throat, and the un-
fortunate lady contracted that terrible
malady, diphtheria, and fell a victim to
1t. She caught the infection by kissing
one of her children who was suffering
with the disease. This diphtheria is q
strictly martial disease and in the horo-
scopes of those who are stricken with it
the planet Mars will invariably be seen
to occupy some malignant position at
birth, and also to exercise an influence
in the directions at the time when the
malady appears. At those periods when |
he is traversing the signs Tarsus and |
Scorpio thousands of children may be- |
observed to be swept away by it. This
was remarkably exhibited the last time
Mars made his long stay in Tarsus. =
