know it-and the ladies were the
most contented, happy people ever
saw. Some men love their spouse,
but have such a gruff, matter-of-fact
way about them they take it for
granted they are performing their
whole duty when they provide the
necessary supplies, and think they
are doing real well if theylet the wife
have the butter and poultry money
to spend as she pieases, forgetting
whose labor is required to produce it,
and quite frequently she has to clothe
herself and children from this little
income.
There are a thousand numberless,
nameless little ways by which each
can make himself or herself attract
i've and agreeable to the other, and
thereby bring back the smiles to the
lips, and roses to the cheeksof prema-
turely faded women.
Little gifts, littletokens of affection,
little deeds of kindness, little acts of
help, little winning smiles will go a
long way to constitute the sunshine of
a woman's life. Nor would | have
all these demonstrations on the part
of the liege lord. The wife should
practice them all, and be indeed a
companion and helpmeet to her cho-
sen one. The good influence that
would permeate from such home
would be beyond description, and
what would the children become rails
ed in such an atmosphere?
[ am thinking of such a home,
There is large family, and from the
young ladies who have graduated
down to the wee ones Whohave never
entered the school room, "brotherly
love continues" in the literal sense
of the meaning. They shed ray of
sunshine into the heart of every visi-
tor who enters the doorway.

CANNING FRUIT.

Now that the fruit canning season
is here, let me give you a little eXpe-
rience. 1t should be ripe and sound,
and put up just as soon after being
gathered as possible. Use as little
water as you can. Some fruit has
sufficient juice to cook it and keep it.
Let it come to boil and seal as quick
as possible.
When | first went to housekeeping,
in my ignorance and inexperience /
broke a great many jars, but have
since learned a way and never break
one now. Dash cook spoon full of
syrup in the can, then turn it on the
side and whirl rapidly round, so the
can will be warmed. Some heat the
cans in water, some set them in front
of the stove to heat, but they become
so dry and heated so irregular the
boiling fruit cracks them. l prefer
the former to any way | ever tried.
There is a diversity of opinion in re-
gard to the kind of cans. Some APP
prove of the stone jars, some prefer
those with ceiling-wax, but never
use any but observation-disclosures are
the best. After they are ser ewed on
as tight as possible, set them away in
a cool, dark place.
Label each can and date it. If you
have no mucilage on hand the white
Of an egg will glue on all the labes
you want.
[ prefer sweetening the fruit when
l put it up, but if you perfer to wait
until you wish to use it, twill keep
just as well.

LET THE ROOMS SPEAK.

Give character to the apartments.
Make them so expressive a stranger
entering can read at a glance the de-
sign of the room. For whatever use
it is intended give it a home-like APP
pearance. Avoid crowding the fur
niture, or placing it stiffly. Study to
arrange the articles with view of
convenience and pleasing effect. No
tice the arrangement of the chairs
after several guests have. departed,
and when you clean up group them
carelessly, and in such manner one
will unconsciously seat herself by
window, or table on which should be
a vase of flowers, books, cardreceiver,
album or something with which a
caller can amuse herself during the
few minutes of inevitable waiting.
Home, whether the abodes of the
wealthy, where elegance and luxury
can be purchased without stint, or
that dreadful task of "making two
ends meet" or the simple, unpreten-
tious dwellings of the poor in city,
town or country, can be beautified
by the deft fingers and tasteful ar
rangement of a refined and cultivated
woman.
have been in rooms that were
furnished in elegance and at great
expense. Rooms whose carpets hush
ed the football, whose gilded walls
held within their embrace a desolate,
forbidding atmospherewhich seemed
to Cypress the visitor. The blinds
were closed to exclude the sunlight
which might fade the carpet; the air
damp and musty, and no attraction
but the costly fnery. If the owner
would only let in the pure air, and
some sunlight, just enough to bright
en- and animate the room and drive
away the gloom, place few flowers
upon the table, and scatter some
choice literature around, have few
shells, nothing is more beautiful than
the polished sea shells you can pur-
chase in the city, have here and there
few specimens of her own handi-
work, visitors would take a delight
in such room, and not experience
the sensation of relief so often felt on
the exit. So much for the parlor.
The same will hold good for the en-
tire house. The guest chamber should
be furnished with pins, cushion,
needles, thread and thimble; writing
desh with pens, ink and paper, fresh
towels, soap, clothes brush, shoe pol.
ish, etc., so that visitor can make
herself at home. Besides these little
things many other Indispensable
should be furnished.
The family, or sittingroom, should
be the contest, most attractive of any,
for here the inmates of thehouse will
congregate; here the long winter
evenings are passed; here the sick
child is confined; here the neighbor
drops in awhile; here the tired moth.

THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN

The rights of women, what are they?
The right to labor, love and pray;
The right to weep with those thet weep,
The right to wake when others sleep.
The right to dry the falling tear;
The right to quell the rising fear;
The right to smooth the brow of care,
And whisper comfort in despair.
The right to watch the parting breath,
To soothe and cheer the bed of death;
The right when earthly hopes all fail
To point to that within the veil.
The right the wanderer to reclaim,
And win the lost from paths of shame;
The right to comfort and to bless
The widow and the fatherless.
The right the little ones to guide
In simple faith to Him who died.
With earnest love and gentle praise
To bless and cheer their youthful days.
The right the intellect to train,
And guide the soul to noble aim;
Teach it to rise above earth's toys,
And wing its fight for heavenly joys.
The right to live for those we love-
The right to die that love to prove
The right to brighten earthly homes
With pleasant smiles and gentle tones.
Are these thy rights? Then use them wei
Thy silent influence none can tell.
If these are thine, why ask for more?
Thou hast enough to answer for.
Are these thy rights? Then murmur not
That woman's mission is thy lot;
Improve the talents God hath given;
Life's duty done, thy rest is heaven.

house.
Among the working class, those
who rent and move from year to year
into such houses as are usually built
for tenants, a great Improvement
could be made with little labor and
expense that would repay the trouble
and be the source Of many bright and
pleasing thoughts during the transit
ton of the year. Most farmers would
furnish lime to whitewash the cot
tages on application, but if a land
lord were too penurious and | were a
renter, | would make an effort to buy
it myself. 1t is very cheap, and a
good brush can be bought for IS
cents, which will last several seasons
to whitewash a small building if the
lime is washed out Immediately after
use. If the cabin were log one l
would lime the chinks, and if a box
or weather-boarded house q white
coat would greatly enhance the APP
pearance.
Then plant morning-glory or jack
bean near the door and windows and
guide them with strong strings in
graceful forms over the entrance and
about the windows. You can pick
up an old, discarded bucket, punch
holes in the bottom, fill with dirt and
plant ground-ivy, and in a short
time, if you water cOpiously every
day the vine will have covered the
unsightly vessel, and real pretty

which makes a good looking person

if you see yourself in such glass
every day. cover an old goods box
with lowered calico or cretonne, and

Teach every child to put the comb
back in it, and always have a place
for every thing.
Any woman with the least amount
of skill can make little adOrnments
for her home, no matter what sphere
in life circumstances have placed her.
A great many of the poorer class de-
vote much time and some means to
dipping snuff, and-shame to say
chewing tobacco. If the nickles and
dimes thus spent were saved until
enough to buy just one chrome,
it would be much better every way.
If you have a broken jar paste bright
little pictures on it and put it in some
little nook to receive the odds and
ends indispensable in every home.
You can save the bright pictures on
the cans of fruit you buy, or on do.

to mention. Make a graceful, pretty

strands of knitting yarn together
Keep this supplied with old newspa

do not cram the waste paper behind

TRUE WORDS WE'LL SAID.

A father talking to his careless
daughter, said: "It maybe that you
have noticed a careworn look upon
her face lately. OF course it has not
been brought there by any act of
yours, still it is your duty to chase it
away. want you to get up tomor-
row morning and get breakfast and
when your mother comes and begins
to express her surprise, go right upto
her and kiss her on the mouth. You
can't imagine how it will brighten
her dear face. Besides, you owe her
kiss or two. Away back when you
were little girl shekissed you when
no one else was tempted by your
fever-tainted breath and swollen face.
You were not so attractive then as
you are now. And through these
years of childish sunshine and sha-
dows she was always ready to cure
by the magic of a mothers kiss the
little dirty, chubby hands whenever
they were injured in those first skirm-
ishes with this rough old world.
"And then the midnight kiss with
which she routed somany baddreams
as she leaned over your restless pill
low, have all been on interest these
long years. Of course she is not as
pretty and kissable as you are, but il
you had done your share of the work
during the last ten years, the contrast
would not be 50 marked.
'.Her face has more wrinkles than
yours-far more-and yet if you were
sick that face would appear more
beautiful than an angels as it hover
ed over you, watching every oppor
tunity to minister to your comfort
and every one Of those wrinkles
would seem to be bright wavelets o
sunshine chasing each other over the
dear face.
"She will leave you one Of these
days. These burdens, if not lifted
from her shoulders, will break he
down. Those rough, hard hands, tina
have donesomany unnecessary thing
for you, will be crossed upon he
breast. Those neglected lips tina
gave you your first baby kiss will b.
closed forever, and those sad, tiret
eyes will have opened in eternity
and the you will appreciate you
mother, but it will be too late"
These true words are well said, ant
the sentiment might profitably b,
carried home to the hearts of many
husbands. Wives, as rule, are no
loved, honored and cherished as they
should be. Not that l would have
woman to be peevish, and make her
self so childish as to become odious t,
her husband, but If he would eXhibi
more tenderness, more real, kind
true devotion, be more courteous ant
chivalrous, manifest more apprecia
ton of her efforts to please him, ant
show to her beyond all peradventur

more than all others, oh, this Lane
would be an eden!

PROOF POSITIVE

Down the familiar road which we nave
trayersed before in our visits to Greys1one
school, there was coming at this hour' anu
walking with brisk steps, which ever ana
amen shot up twirl Of dust, no less per-
sonage than Dr. Isaac Shaw.
This was an uncommonly early hour Tor
DR.. Shaw to be found outside bis school; for
here was not a man to be courted from dis
cipline by the sweetness Of early morning
air.
As he approached the bottom Of the hill
and neared tho houses, his step slackened
and took yet more digni6ed moderation Of
gesture.
When at the bottom Of the street, he
paused q moment to inspect the wooden
house of the shipwright, which looked shyly
toward him through its green drapery.
With an uneasy glance around him, such
as man might cast who wishes to effect an
object without detection, the doctor crossed
the road and knocked hurriedly on the door
Of tho wooden house.
There are many kinds Of bad servants; but
the worst kind of servant is the servant who
keeps you waiting on the door step.
Had this door flown open under the doc
tors hand, uplifted to catch the knocker,
still something of promptitude would have
been missing. For nothing was palmer than
that Dr. Shaw had no wish to be seen stand
ing on that threshold.
At last came Polly and saluted him with
dirty stare.

THE GREYHOUND INN
Through fruitful land, bounded by blue

ADNANCE lS WOOL.

Wool IS on the up grade. There are enormous stocks held Tn the West, notably at St. Louis and Chicago, the holdings in the latter city being esti- mated at an aggregate of a5, 1000, 900 pounds. The situation appears to be resolved into trial of strength be. tween western dealers and eastern manufacturers, with everything in the market situation at present, as we'll as the general outlook, in favor ofwestern holders, and if no unexpected backset should occur, the rise, already about 331s per cent, is not yet exhausted. The position and action of the mar ket are unusually good, and dry goods dealers are stocking up for the fall trade very early, on the basis of very favorable forecasts of trade, both as to volume and value.-Toledo Blade.
