Don't Be In a Hurry.

in Judgment This precociousness works
mischief in many ways. 1t prevents the en-
joyment of happy years of maidenhood,
when the mind and the heart are free to ex-

improving and elevating study; it occupies
the mind with fancies, desires and castle
building, which are not only futile but injuri-
Gus; it indisposes for sensible views of life;
it tends to the formation of a shallow and
frivolous character, and it not infrequently
leads to foolish entanglements and hasty at

distress. Sometimes it leads to marriage be-

Learn How to Relax.

Whence comes the ambition for suffering
inherent in feminine souls l cannot say, but
it is there. 1t may be an inheritance from
barbarism; it may be a merciful provision
of nature for what most women are fated 70
endure, heroic stimulus to carry them over
the crest of the wave of pain and prevent
their sinking in its murderous trough.
Women seem to understand this sentiment
in each other and know how to call forth its
exercise, but men look on in kind of puz-
zled awe. They have no such quality about
them. They go about the business of being

In dressing and undressing in a cold room,
move about as little as possible when the
slippers are off. The carpet just under the
feet is warmed by abstracting heat from the
feet, and the person has the advantage of it,
while every change takes additional heat to
warm new place. In undressing keep the
slippers on as long as convenient; in dressing
put them on as soon as possible.
All slippers for use in cold weather should
have extra inner soles, to lift the feet from
the cold floor and to retain the natural heat
Where nothing else can be had, such soles
can be cut from cardboard; thickness of

The Awkwardness of Servants.

1t is fact worthy Of consideration that
house servants, from whom hand training is
especially demanded, are just those of all the
working classes who have least of it. We
take servants into our houses and intrust
them with our choicest things, and they are
not only ignorant of their value, the delicacy
and the care they require, but they have not
the hghtness of touch imperatively necessary
in their handling. To watch one of these so
called second girls" through an hours work
is a revelation One begins to wonder in the
course of few minutes how anything is
safe, and what demon prompted her in the
selection of her field of labor. Why she did

How One Woman Earns Bread.

"Just look at that lady," said middle aged
gentleman as he paused for a moment at the
entrance of his club, and raised his hat gal
lantly to a woman who passed. She was tall,
graceful, her face was comely and her bear
ing refined.
"T'll tell you about her. She studied art
abroad for three years before her marriage
Critics declared her to be unusually gifted
perhaps genius. She didn't take to the pink
rose and apple blossom style of art. Her
pictures were realistic landscapes and strong
figure pieces. Some brought pretty good
prices in London-three l believe found buy
ers in Paris and some were sold in New York
But, like most other girls, Cupid marked her
and she married. Children came fast until
she had three There was small time then
for welding the paint brush and indulging
in the fancles that resolve inuo ideals of
beauty under skillful touch.
'When the youngest child was six months
old the husband died. Scarcely was the
funeral ended when she found that she and
the babies were not worth nickel She
mixed up her paints, solicited pupils and
went to work. l believe she did get few
pupils and sell picture or two. But she
almost starved. She just put her canvas and
paint pots into closet, got some things on
credit at the grocer's and butchers, rolled up
her sleeves, built fire in her kitchen stove
and went to cooking. What for? Why, to
sell the things she made. She baked up some
angels food and some chicken pies. She car
ried them to some of her friends and said she
was ready to take orders. She keeps four
maid servants now to help her make this deli
cate cake and her chicken pies, and she can't
begin to fill her orders She has bought
snug home in the last year and is altogether
prosperous with a business growing faster
than she can keep up with it.
"Snce I've known what she has accom-
pliShed | haven't so much sympathy for the
women who complain because they can't get
suitable work. There are so many things in
the direction of culinary productions in which
women could build up good trades. Take
breadmaking, for instance. NY wife, who is
on the Women's Exchange board, tells me
that they have the greatest trouble there in
getting good breadmakers and in finding
those willing to make bread. Yet it pays
better to make the staff of life than to bake
fancy pastries The exchange undertook to
supply the Union club with home made
bread. but were forced to abandon it
because they couldn't get it regularly, on
time and in sufficient quantities. l know
that it has been found difficult at other club
houses to get nice homo baked bread. There's
any number of toothsome dishes that every
man would be glad to find at his club, and
for which many ladies would consider them
selves fortunate if they could make contracts
for the regular delivery of at their residences.
1t don't seem to me there's much excuse for
any intelligent woman who has the least
natural aptitude for cookery to be without
employment. Instead, think there's good
field for profitable, independent, remuncra-
tive work for them, il they'd make use of it."

The Training of Children.

Very often we hear people say that school
teachers are not likely to train children any
better than the mothers do; but they usually
have to. One of the greatest benefits of a
school, hardly second even to the mental
education acquired, is the discipline and
order. To children who at home are not
held to any exact routine, except that they
are expected to appear regularly at meals, it
is of the greatest possible benefit. They must
report for duty at such an hour, begin studies
as certain time, and do all things decently
and in order; and this is rarely insisted upon
ct home.-Rural New Yorker.

Feet of American Women.

to be said about their demeanor there They
are great favorites with dressmakers, and

the beautiful American foot. well crched
loot looks better in boot than in shoe,
and it is sad to see foot crumpled up in
tight slipper and too high heel, perfect
piece of Chinese deformity. To do Ameri-
cans justice they do not have to squeeze
their feet to make them look small, and the
only advice to give them is to go to England
for their walking shoes, and to learn to walk
more on their little feet.-M. E w. Sher-

reporter.

use has assisted me wonderfully at times.

nickel everyone knows it the minute it

Two Handsome Gifts.


Bishop Talbot's visit to the East was
productive of much benefit to his church
people at Buffalo. The first substantial
aid which he succeeded in securing was a
check for $500. Shortly thereafter the
ladies Of st. Luke's guild of Buffalo were
informed by the bishop that that sum was
to be added to their church fund, which
amounts to about $675, making IN all
Sl,175. On top of this came a communi.
cation from the ladies of st. James
parish of Philadelphia, which stated that
a solid silver communion service was on
the way to Buffalo as a present from
them-more of the bishops work. The
service came Just in time for use on Sun
day, and is an elegant affair, consisting of
gold lined ~lectern, challice and platen of
exquisite beauty.

Many dog owners have assumed that
the city authorities have lost jurisdiction
over the animals since the passage of the
act making them taxable property. This
is a mistake. The city license must be
paid the same as before the session of the
tenth assembly. The act in question,
which was presented by Representative
Blydenburgh and created considerable
merriment at the time, simply provides
that dogs shall be listed the same as
other property and valued by the owner.
Under the new law dogs are deemed
personal property and the subject of lar
ceny. In criminal prosecutions for the
theft of dogs the value of tho animals
shall be determined as in other cases.

The east bound flyer, due here at $40
o'clock last evening, was held three miles
this side of Rawlins four hours yesterday
afternoon with the nose of the engine
near a burning bridge and reached Chey-
me two hours behind schedule time.
The bridge was a low structure over
n of the many sloughs between Rawlins
and Fort Steele and is situated quite a
distance from any water supply adequate
for flame fighting. The damage was
slight, the s%tringers on one side of the
bridge being the only portion of the
crossing consumed by the flames.
