Advice to Young Arcni

And then, remember. you have 10
work. Whether you handle pick or =
pen;a wheelbarrow or set of books.
digging di ches or editing paper. ring
ing an auction bell or writing funny
things, you must work. IL you look
around you will see that the men who are
most able to live the rest OF their lives
without work are the men that work the
hardest.
Don't be afraid Of killing yourself with
work 1t is beyond your power 10 do
that Men canuot work so hard as that
on the sunny side of thirty They die
somtimes but it's because they quit work
at o p. IN and don't go home until 2 a. m.
It's the interval that kills. Work gives
an appetite for meals, ii lends solidity to
the SAUNDERS; it gives the appreciation OF
holiday.
There are men who do not work, but
the world is not proud Of them. Ii does
not even know their names; il simply
speaks of them as old So and Sos boys.
Nobody likes them, nobody hates them;
the great busy world doesn't even know
that they are there. So find out what you

the brighter and happier your holidays.

THE FARMERS WIFE.
Some Pertinent Comments and Confess
sions by One OF Them.

paid visit TO ancighboring farmers

ever since BY the remembrance OF her
tired care worn face. This woman has
seven children, and she not only does the
sewing for all. but she Is frequently
without help and has all the work to do.
except the washing. Is il any won
der she looks pale. and that the children
are neglected
Her husband is what we call welIto-
do man; owns his farm OF several hundred
acres of good land: has a substantial
house and makes good crops. To save
little he boards his hands. And this Is
what l want to say: Why should a far.
mer hoard his hands, If he Is unable,
and, alas. often unwilling, to get help
sufficient to keep the wife and mother
from being overburdeneds He will tell
you it saves money All, Mr.. Farmer.
and so It would save money If you would
discharge your chore-boy aud do all
the milking yourself, but how would you
like it.
Every farmer receives q great deal at
the hands of his wife. He owes as much
to her thrift and good management as he
does to his own. What other woman
stays at home and devotes herself so en-
tirely TO her husbands interests as the
farmers wife. While the wives Of the
mechanic, the butcher, the baker and
the caddlestick maker are out enjoying
themselves in the afternoon. the farmers
wife Is home at work. The milk must be
skinned, the poultry fed and supper
cooked for lot of hungry men. But
look to yourselves, farmers wivesl As.
sert your rights Remember il you arc
mothers, your highest duty is to your
children. You must have time for them.
Don't do all that you think you ought to
do leaving little time for recreation.
There arc some farmers wives whose
lives are cast in pleasant places. These
have married thoughtful. unselfsh men
dhere are some) who look we'll to the
comfort of their household, and have

superstitions About the Cricket

Crickets, like many other objects OF
nature, have their share in literature,
and, in what lives, longer, the supersti-
ton Of the people. Many believe, and
all have heard il said, that cricket sing
ing in the house is harbinger Of good
fortune. 1t is not always, however, that
the crickets are regarded as lucky, and
they fare badly in consequence Some
people think that If they are heard in the
house 1t presages death in the family
and means are at once taken to drive
them out Lucky for the harmless little
beast, most of the omens are in its favor.
In parts of England II is thought killing
crickets will bring bad luck, broken
bone. lovers quarrel. or ssme such Gala
nifty, and If crickets desert a house il for
tells death. As TO the insect being lucky
or unlucky, every one must decide for
himself. 1t depends entirely upon the
persons who hears the cricket. If he
thinks it is lucky, then the first piece of
good fortune he has after hearing the
cricket's chirp goes down to its credit.
On the other hand, If he thinks IL IN.
lucky, the same process of bookkeeping
is resorted TO, except that misf0rlunes 20

AN EXPLANATION

What is this nervous trouble with

If you will remember few years ago the

Ito day It's aB common as any word I'm

So il Is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are Intended 10 cover what our

are caused by troubles that arise from d
diseased condition Of the Liver which in

WAGES OF FAMOUS COOKS.
Prices which Rich New Workers Fay for
Culinary skilI-How Chefs Dine.


Previous to W. k vanderbilts culinary
extravaganza IN hiring $4,000 cook Corne-
Illus was supposed to have the most expensive
one in town. paying Fred Hemmerle, his
chef, $50 month, the highest salary paid
by any private family in New York. Mrs
Langtry is not so far behind. She pays Con-
slant Migirard, who gets up her meals and
travels with her, 500 o month. Ogden
Goelet gave Valtat 800, but Judge Water
bury bid little higher and has him now.
John Jacob Astor has Frenchman, Joseph
Pacteau, who gets 500 month and who has
little to do this winter, the family being too
deeply in mourning for even the smallest
dining. Eliot Shepard, another Vanderbilt
son-in-law, is fond of good cooking, and pays
good price to Mathies, a man who used to
be assistant cook in the Jockey club, of Paris.
Whitelaw Reid is the only newspaper man
who can afford a famous chef as caterer to
his appetite, but he pays good, round sum
to have his meals prepared by Gaillet. His
rich fatherin-law, d. O. Mills, pays no more
to Menier, who presides over his dinner par
ties. August Belmont imported his cook
himself, having found him in rather an OBJ
scure Partisan restaurant, and has never had
reason to. be dissatisfied with his discovery.
W =. Astor employs Gustave Berand, and
pa. him $l25 a month The Marshall o.
Robertses and Bradley Martins have English
cooks, being strictly Anglican in oil their APP
pointments.
When these chefs have q night off they
never dine in their own place, but seem to
take great delight in sampling the food Of
their rivals. have seen Fred Hemmerle in
Delmonico's with all the head walters hutter-
ing anxiously about him while he critically
examined the menu, and no millionaire was
as carefully served as he. Delmonicos head
cook goes up to the St Cloud and to the res
taurant of the Hotel Normandie when he has
an evening away from duty, and while he is
dining it's very nearly impossible to get

and in perfect shape. was told on one Of
these occasions by hysterical waiter, whom
corraled with half dollar and induced
to give me some attention, that these great
cooks order the simplest sort of food. They
themselves adjure most of the sauces and
grayies with which they stimulate the jadcd
palates of the public and, looking carefully
over the bill, pick out just those dishes which
require, through their simplicity, perfect
cooking to make them palatable brooklyn

perience Of that kind that drove me Off the

The Iowa legislature passed a law in 1877

in their service, and to Offset the liability the
railroad addressed a circular to all employees
asking them to relinquish their claims One
morning had fired up as usual, and run the
engine around to await the freight which we
were to take west from Burlington. Before
the hour an agent stepped up and asked the
engineer to sign the agreement. He refused
and was discharged on the spot. A new man
was put in the cab. lie had an engineers
license. and everything looked straight, SO
far as papers went. During the talk my fires
had run down, so filed in coal until steam
was kissing out of the safety valve, and then
opened the furnace door,
Having taken our train. an hour later we
were spinning along nicely when I turned to
feed the fire. Throwing open the door OBJ

would have gone into eternity the next
second, for the boiler was at white heat

why lit out. But the old adage about fools
and children proved true, for that engineer
had to stop, draw the fire and wait for a

Many ranches are provided with nothing at

indeed, it Is a curious fact that In travelling
throagh this COW country it Is often impos-

only because the owners or managers are too
lazy TO take enough trouble 10 insure their
