COMMENCEMENT.

That title for the closing of the college
term may not be so inapt after all. The
real education begins then for all these
young men and young women, when
they are about to discover what they
really do know. A few years ago it might
have been written thus: "They will
begin to find out now how little they
know but the practical directive infu-
ences in education of recent years have
considerably changed all that. These
beginners are, some of them, reasonably
we'll equipped for going on in their
specialties; and the idea that education
does not stop with the month of June in
any given year, but is 70 60 on and ma
ture itself, is the distinctive feature of
college life as against that prevailing so
recently as even a decade ago. And the
orations and "honor" addresses begin to
show more fexibility. We do not look
for maturity, that would be to expect
the fruit in the blossom; maturity is
priggish rather than welcome in the
young But there is certainly more ease
and freedom, more originality and indie
pendence in these sheaYes that are in
the bud, of 1885, so far as presented.

To @ Cold-Footed Lady.

Madam. allow me to prescribe for
you. l have had long experience in
the management of delicate women.
and believe l can give you some i'm
portant advice. For the present I
prescribe only for your feet
First-Procure quantity of
wooden stockings, not such as you
buy at the stores under the name of
lambs wool that you can read news
paper through, but the kind that
your Aunt Jerusha in the country
knits FOR you, that will keep your
feet dry and warm in spite of wind
and weather.
Second-If you want to be really
thorough change them every morn
ing, hanging the fresh ones by the
fire during the night.
Third Procure thick calf skin boots,
double uppers and triple soles, and
wear them from the first of October
till the first of May. Make frequent
application of some good oil backing.
Fourth-Avoid rubbers altogether,
except pair of large rubber boots,
which may be worn for a little time
through snow drifts or q flood of
water.
Fifth-Hold the bottoms of your
feet in cold water quarter of an
inch deep, just before going to bed,
two or three minutes, and then rub
them hard with rough towels and
your naked hand
Sirth-Now madam, go out freely
in all weather, and believe me, not
only will your feet enjoy good cir
cularion in the lower extremities,
your head will be relieved Of all its
fullness and your heart of it's palpi
tations. Your complexion will be
greatly improved and your health
much better in every respect.-Dr'

A woman has no business to get mar
ried unless she expects to keep house,
and having once accepted the position
of housekeeper, if not qualified, she
should at once cheerfully fit herself for
it.

A cook-table, full of drawers, where
-four, spices, rooling pins and cakc-cut-
tiers are kept, with bake pans hanging
over it, will save miles of travel and
hours of time. A small shelf near the
stove, kept for an extra pepper and salt
dish, has saved fifty miles of travel, I
think, in ten years. Only one day
count the number of times you go from
cook-table to stove, seasoning various
dishes, and you will see for yourself
what this means.
l can go to the pantry with waiter,

family of five or eight persons. With

How to Simplify Housekeeping.


From an address delivered at social
science meeting by Mrs. Gray, of Wy
andotte, Kansas.
Love for the work is natural to wom-
en- as a domestic instinct, and is only
lost by over work and failure to be
what seems imperative duty, or by a.
morbid fashion, introduced by the
foolish, vicious, or idle.
Love for housework may be regained
often by careful thought and courage.
Gus resolution.
Men, as a rule, do not complain of
their work: They go to shop, or farm,
or Office, cheerfully, manfully and faith
fully, year after year. 1
They have their trials, and are usu-
ally silent over them. They rarely
come home and tell us that the saw
was dull, and they had to stop all ma
chinery and sharpen it that the
ploughshare broke in the middle Of the
furrow, and they had to go two miles
and buy new one. or that bore en-
tered the Office and wasted all the morn
ing ~ ~
Evaeybody;who comes into the world
ought-to be willing to do, every day,
good days work and not shirk. it.

break in the issue of cents from that time
to the present. The labor required to Sc.

cents made in 1893 is very great. and they
bring from 50 to So each The cent OF
1924 is a trif1e more common and can be

of the issue of 1895 is worth 81. %. Il
was in this year that the liberty cap was

And your days are dimmed with tears,
If you find with soul despairing
No answer to your prayers,

IL health and strength forsake you,
And pain and sickness bring
A gloom that clouds the sunshine
And shadows everything,
If you feel that lot so weary
But seldom mortal bears,

Nobody really cares.
