The trouble with most of the girls is they
are in too big a hurry to get married. When
they get through school or college they begin
to look round for a Teller, and as fellers Of the
right sort are scarce they kill time for q year
or two and then mate with somebody they
don't want exactly and tho union is not
happy. A girl hal better not marry at all
than to marry badly. Most of our men are
poor and they can't afford to marry. The
girls and the boys are all on a strain to keep
up with society. But If a girl can support
herself she is independent and can take her
pick when she does marry. Mr.. Whitner
told me tnat he had IN send to Michigan for
girls to work in bis Office, that he could not
find them here and he was now paying one
$500 and another $1,000. That is a bad sign
for us. 1t is a reflection either OIL our girls or
our system of education.
There are many inviting fields for girls that
are not yet occupied. The world is full of
picture cards and Christmas gems, and they
ought to make the designs, for new patterns
arc wanted every day. Photography is an
art that would just suit their taste. and
there ought to be a gallery attached to
every female college. How nice 1t would
be to adorn tho walls or fill portfolios
with lovely likenesses OF every Class that
graduates and every teacher md distinguished
visitor. How nice IL would be to see a lady
in charge of a gallery in every town. How
much better she could arrange the dress
and the position and how kindly the children
would take TO her gentle voice. / know she
would get the patronage OF all the young
men and could have a trunk full Of hand
Some pictures to look at On Sundays II she
wanted them
Southern girls are teaching now all over
the land, and that is n good sign. Before the
war we used to get all our teachers from New
England. But then they didn't teach very
long, for our young men and widowers mar
ried them, and they made good wives and
good mothers and they raised up good rebels.
They don't come now. and our own girls have
-monopolized the business. There is a nice
young lady teaching not far from me and she
hns sixty-five scholars. Another ons has started
a school close by and my little chApsr ere going
and now j have to bear their lessons every
night, for they are in the cautious state and
don't want to be kept in at recess. A little
boy tckled Carl on the foot yesterday and
he got n mark for cackling. He says he
couldn't help it, for 1t just tickled itself be-
fore he knew it. ! like these country schools.
Ny hnppiest memories are Of the years that
/ walked two miles to one OF them and car
ried my dinner in a basket and played on the
road, and at recess and noon, and stood up
in the long class and spelt the hard words,
and sometimes got head and told my good
mother about il and received her approving
smile. Those smiles and those tears. What
d world of love was in them.

Carlyle propbesied that the kitchen range
was to be considered a sort Of throne and
altar Of the future and that the gridiron was
to BIO brandished rs n censor in the coming
temple of humanity. Some theories look
very much as il the good time was coming
that way. The theory is that the stom-
ach dominates the conscience through
the appetites, anil tho way to save the
race is to get 1t sound at tho core. 1t
is held that religion cannot act on a bad
stomach, the result of poor cooking. That
science only touches the head and cannot get
it right without savory food. That stimu-
lants and a thousand papaceas that men look
to are only whips that fail on a long run.
All these rids seem TO argue n deep-felt need
OF aid, and having tried many things it Is
only fair to give the kitchen a good, honest
probation, though perhaps it may be well to
remember as a hint that mem never will get
right OH bread or even on tho best cooking
alone.

colors, without regard to any recognized
form or design. There was a reaction to dark,
heavy colors. The styles for the fall seasons
are light c%olors, not drabs and grays, but
light and warm colors, arranged in small de-
signs. The dado style OF finish is still used,
chiefly in rich furnishing aud hall decorR
tons.
When a room is decorated in the dado
style, they run a light molding OF ash,
mahogany, cherry, black walnut, or soma
other wood to correspond with the furnishing,
around the wall Uetween tho base and the
field. Then above the field they put a frieze
with a molding Of the same sort of wood that
is used below. TIL upper molding is, how
ever, heavier, and they often use a kind
from which pictures can be hung.

Children are human beings. We cannot
dismiss them from our homes aud our hearts
as cats can scratch away their grown-upk kit
tens, or birds turn their nedgelings out of
the nest. We must retain our superiority.
We must, indeed, supersede law by advice,
discipline by good example and high per-

strangers TO our children. Tho time never
comes when we can say: l have given you

One OF the greatest little witches that ever

vigorous preaching and stern practice, but
whose ideas Of duty do not extend
10 the restraining of his children nor tho

The Secret or IL.
1.-THE Household.1

An old farmer Icing asked why his bow
stayed at home when others did not, replied
that it was owing to the fact that he always
tried to make home pleasant for them. He
furnished them with attractive and useful
reading, and when night came and the days
labor was ended, instead OF running with
other boys to the railway station and adjoin-
ing towns, they gathered around the great
lamp, and became absorbed in their books
and papers. His boys were still at home
when the oldestwas 81. while others
had sought city life and city designations

II onions which are to be boiled are put in
salted water after they are peeled, and are
allowed to remain in it for an hour before
they are cooked, they will lose so much of
their distinctive flavor that they will rarely
remind one hours after Of what ne had for
dinner. Onions that are to be eaten raw may be
treated in the same way. Both onions and
cabbage should nave the first water poured
off after they have cooked fifteen minutes
and renewed from the boiling tea kettle.

AN OLD SAW.
TCelia Thaxter in Wide Awake

ICelia Thaxter in Wide Awake.1
A dear little maid came skipping out
In the glad new day with merry shout;
With dancing feet and with flowing hair
She sang with joy in the morning air.
srDon't sing before breakfast, you'll cry be
fore nightm
What q croak to darken the child's delight!
And tie stupid old nurse again and again
Repeated the ancient, dull refrain.
The child paused trying to understand;
But her eyes saw the great world rainbow
spanned;
Her light little feet hardly touched the earth,
And her soul brnnmed over with Innocent
Inirth!
"Never mind-don't listen-oh, sweet little
maid!
Make sure Of your morning song" I said;
"And if pain must meet you, why, all the
more
Be glad of the rapture that came before"
ooh, tears and sorrow are plenty enough,
Storms may be bitter and paths be rough,
But our tears should fall like the earths
bright showers
That help to ripen the fruits and flowers.
So gladden. the day with your bliSsful song,
Sing on while you may, dear, sweet and
strongl
Make sure of your moment of pure delight,
No matter what trials may come before

John 5plan Tells What Is First.
Glass Driver.

Springfield Republican.
John Splan, who began his career on the
turf seventeen years ago, when he was II
years old, and has handled many Of the best
horses in the country, including the famous
Rarus, is as ready and slick talker as he is
driver. eyes, sir, a good driver is as essen
tial as a good horse. I don't know as good
man could do much with a stick of horse,
but have seen many horse defeated that
would have won if its driver had known his
business Just what makes good driver
you can't tell.
''You see, q driver has got to do more than
sit behind horse. He must look out for the
shoeing, must get the horses head just right,
must study his horse, know how he ought to
be fed and haInessed, and all that. There
are hundred things besides the mere driv-
ing that he must have his eye on and be
studying. Horses are just as different as
people. Some are nervous, fretting and
stewing all the time, and others are SO cool
that a cyclone wouldn't make 'em jump
Now, you see if man that was
used to driving one of the nervous kind
took hold of a lazy horse he'd like as not
break him allup
THERE'S one thing a driver must have, and
that's cool head. He mustn't be all down
when he don't win, or way up when he does,
but just take it as it comes and go it again
I've seen men on the track with money up on
their horses who were as worked up about it
as an old lady that had got to have her tooth
pulled out. That won't do don't take any
stock in cordials to give a man the necessary
courage. Agood nights sleep is the best
thing thai any man can take before race
OF course we bet on the races. That's what
we are interested in; it's part of our business.
don't think horsenen gamble much out
side. They put in their money on horse
race just as man buys barrel of -four and
expects to get more than he gave for it. The
public think there's good deal more crooked
work than there really is. l don't know a
driver, and I've slept with most of 'em, who
would pull his employers horse to win money
himself. 1t wouldn't pay. Driving is pro
fession now, and man who has paid 5000
or S1o,0 600 for piece of property hunts till
he finds good man to take care of it and
then he pays him handsomely. Most owners
have all the money they want and are anxious
only that their horses win."
