A HOME OF YOUR OWN.
Good Advice to Young Married Couple.
Case I'm Point.

Good Advice to a Young Married Couple.
| A Case in Point.
One Of the very first things that young
married couple should think Of, is the getting
| OF q home OF their own; a house which is
theirs Ito have and to hold" for lifetime, if
possible; one that shall be to their children a
place around which all their youthful mem-
oriss gather, and bring glow TO their hearts,
no matter what may come to them in after
years; one in which each room will, in pro-
cess of time, become endeared through its
associations. 1t may seem far away in the
distance at first, but persistent thought and
effort in that direction will bring it to pass in
time, and much sooner than at first seemed
probable. Necessity or expediency may
make$enting the only thing to do for SEQ
son, but still adhere to the opinion that it is
the truest economy and highest wisdom to
get home Of your own at the earliest mo-
ment that you can make it practicable.
These peripatetic people hsve rarely much
Of value that they can call their own, for in
the very nature of things they could not
have. The family lack the sense Of perma-
nency in regard to a home which is always
50 desirable, and especially when people are
upon the down hill side of life While young
and vigorous, with brains busy with what Is
going on in the world, its absence is not felt
so much, but the day mtst come when the
interests will be gradually withdrawn with
the waning strength from purely outside
matters and center within the home, and it
is then that the heart longs for and is best
satisfied with what long habit has made dear
and familiar.
Another thing is true. Your expenditures

Terms Gone Out of Use.

II Is very absurd to hear English speak
ing people still saying the old French
word chic, ten years after any French per-
son Of taste has left off its use. II would
be bad enough TO Anglicize the word and
use 1t as II it were ONES own language,
but it is simply ridiculous to add -as they
say in France" or -aS the the French say
The French don't say chic They used to,
IT is true, and in the time Of the empire
the word was upon eyerboiy's lips. The
Empress Eugene and all Of her belong
ings were chic. 1t is q pretty, snappy LII
tie syllable, and fashionable people took
1t up in Egiand and America. and, in this
country at least, they cling TO 1t with .
tenacity worthy Of q better cause. No
Partisan says chic nowadays A person
now may have a great deal of cachet,
but it is thought as bad form to say chic
in Paris as it Is to say -genteeP in Boston
or style" in London.
The words Of fashion wear out easily,
like chenille fringe, and each generation
of gilded youth must choose its own
term. Adjectives of admiration pail a
easily. Il is now almost insulting to
speak of girl as an Intelligent and ami
able young lady" and half century ago
real life, and therefore novels, teemed
with such expressions about the lacka-
daisical creatures who tainted away in
every other chapter. Now the charming
girl" is at her hight and in the midst Of
her glory. Doubtless in ten years to come
charming" and ~lovely" will have quiet
lost their present popularity, and the girl
of the future will be rsved about by some
unworn word descriptive of the superior
qualities which she will inhsrit from the
girl of to-day.-Boston Record

Cranis in the Postal Service.

The postal service produces not peculiar
terms, but peculiar men, correctly de.
nominated cranks. These are men who
have for years held positions that occu-
pied almost their ent ire time so that they
rarely think Of anything except the post
office or postal service. l remember one
railway postal clerk named Poole who
never heard a nams but he would imme-
diately try and locate a postoffice of the
same name. He was walking on
the street in Oshkosh with q
friend named Watkins when they met a
Mr.. Jessop whom Watkins knew. Wat
kins introduced his Jessop to Poole, and
the latter, taking Jessop's hand, looked
thoughtful for moment and then mur-

Buchanan county, Iowa l am glad to

number Of such men to deal with, and II
sometimes requires good deal of tact to

they are all right but on all others they
are cranks.-Maj. Harlow in Globe Demo

Gently subjected his elephants to the trim
ming process at one of the towns where he
was exhibiting. With a knife about two
feet long, great pieces of horn, six inches by
four, and quarter of an inch thick, were
shaved off Often pieces of glass, wire, nails
and other things were found imbedded in the
foot, which have been picked up during
street parades Sometimes these irritating
morsels work up into the leg and produce a
fostering sore. A large nail was found en-
bedded in the foot of one of the elephants,
which had to be extracted with a pair of
pincers, and the wound syringed with warm
water. During the operation the huge crea-
ture appeared to suffer great pain, but SEEM
