The well-known philanthropist, Mrs.
Elizabeth Thompson, who gives her
entire income, which is very large, to
various enterprises for the benefit of
humanity, retaining for herself only
enough to meet the simple needs of her
quiet home life, writes me as follows,
and think the words so golden that I
wish every woman in American would
heed them. Coming from such a
source, these words have peculiar
weight, for Mrs. Thompson is one who
lives her belief, and knows it's blessed

the women of the world would call on
the men to give up this wild, ungovern-
able chase for more money, and the
women govern themselves accordingly.
Who is the happier for such extrava-
gance in dress, furniture, useless deco
rations, grand equipages, ETC.? Are
they not more or less procured at the
expense OF the moral and spiritual ma
ture? What is there that many men,
and women too. will not sacrifice for u
few dollars more to be spent for that
which enriches them not, but makes
them poor indeed? Are they wiser,
better or in any way happier for hav-
ing gained this surplus sum? In my
experience have found. more health,
more contentment, more kindly feeling
among the better laboring class, than
have ever seon among that class
who make money merely for the sake
of display. There is more truth than
poetry in the saying that enough is as
good as feast Few realize the true
significance OF industry and economy.
But why do talk? l am SO weary OF

HEAT AND VENTILATION.

A Simple Way Of Keeping tho Air In
Rooms Moist in Winter.
People who use their brains habit
ually, teachers, writer's, artists, must
keep warm as the saving of their
abilities. They must have fires early,
and use foot-warmers day and night,
and dress like Esquimaux If necessary,
or congestion of the brain or lungs is
the penalty. The Inflammation of tho
lungs which carried off George Eliot
and Mrs. Browning was descended from
the chilliness and poor circulation
which these brain-workers had borne
for years. Care must be taken, with
all this heat ing, TO have n current OF
warm, fresh air circulating in the
rooms, and TO have it healthily moist.
Such precautions give a soft and lovely
complexion, equal to the famous New
port bloom. The best way to secure
this constant ventilation without draft
Is by having the top of the window
fitted wi tn perforated board, pierced
by many conical borings, only u quar-

1t is little remarkable that q plain
American woman should have worked
out plan Of cheap, efficient ventilation
on the same principles as the French
invention which drew the applause OF
scientific men years later. To keep
the air moist, the simplest way is to
keep a pan of water in the heat regis
ter, with large sponge in it, or a wet
towel hung with ends in the water
giving off moisture to the air which
flows over it. Pans of water alone do
very little good, though better than
nothing. The moisture must be directly
in the path OF the air to be absorbed by
1t. The water pans for stoves should
be large enough to cover the whole top.

Wash-Board Statistics.

A travelling agent of one of the
largest wash-board factories in the
United States gave II reporter the fol-
lowing interesting statistics and infor-
nation. He said that millions of
wash-boards are made and sold in the
United States every year, and at least
100000 are sold yearly between the
Allegheny mountains and Missouri
river. There is one factory which
turns out over million, and at least
two factories which make 100000 and
100000 year. There are at least
twenty varieties OF wash-boards, and
the best are made in the West. The
Eastern factories make their wash
boards out of pine. Hard wood is un-
doubtedly the best. Pine is soft, and
white pine is too expensive. The
poorer kinds can be bought as low as
80 cents dozen wholesale; these are
single wash-boards for family use.
The better kinds cost 1926 per dozen
Wholesale, and double washboards-
that is that have zinc edges on both
sides-cost much more, retailing at
90 conts apiece for the best. Laundry
sizes OF this description cost much
more. The first wash-boards were
made entirely of wood, and our wash
women used to pound the dirt out Of
clothes with stick, by laying them on
tho board. The first wash-boards made
of zinc were put upon the market

angrily rejoined the rigorous master,
and drove him off.
He next applied to Hillel, and the
liberal minded teacher said: sMy son,
do you expect to become High Priest in
Israel without being familiar with the
law? First study, and | will instruct
YOU"
Partly in fun, partly from curiosity,
the Roman sat down at the masters
feet and began studying. and as he pro-
ceedcd his interest grew. He learned
to admire the religion he had made
laughing-stock of.
After some time he camo across the

A REMARKABLE STORY.
Novelist Gable Tells of "a Louisiana Ro-
nance of Slavery Days.


George w. Cable said TO newspaper
reporter the other day: 1T is interest
ing that SO many short stories have
their scenes laid in and around New
Orleans and Louisiana. II is n roman
tic country. A friend in New Haven
told me some time since that while
rummaging around among some old law
reports he found an account of slave
girl who secured her freedom by learn
ing that she had no colored blood, as
she had always herself supposed. 1t
was noted case ut that time, but had
passed from the memory Of the present
generation. applied to an eX-Justice
of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, and
he knew nothing of the case until he
searched and found it in the records.
The case was first tried in the lower
court, which declared the girl slave.
The Supreme Court reversed the finding
at once. Its decision substantially said
that if the girl was black that fact would
be proof enough of her slavery, but us
she was white the girl could not be
dom, but she must be assumed to be
free, and her negro blood and slavery
must be proved. That could not be
done and she was no longer slave.
The court records possess by courtesy

fascinating story OF the girls life.
In company with her parents and IA sis
ter she came to America from the
French province of Alsace. The ship
was captured by mutineerS. and her
father was killed. The mother died
soon after landing, and tho daughter
experienced various adventures among
the Indians whore they were cast by
the mutinoers. They finally were sold
into slavery and became separated.
She was NJ last recognized by some of
her relatives, who had followed her
family to America. Her identity was
proved by startling resemblance to
her mother and by bithmar55 in the

up stairs quietly to his wifes bedroom.
On piece of paper with which he had pro-

placing tho hand mirror on one corner to
hold it down. Unlocking cabinet that

his thumb and turned the cylinder

thing else that he ought to do He could not
think of any thing Just then he heard
EthyPs voice in the room below singing one
of her baby songs. II sounded marvelously
sweet, and was approaching the stairway.
Evidently she had heard that papa was
home and was coming to find him. Without
sound of any footstep on the stairs or in the
nall, the door was suddenly pushed open and
Alice sprang into the room.
What are you doing, JohnW she asked,

have you been so quiet up here!n

picked up the note and slid it into his pocket.
"Well, is it all right"
"Yes, reckon. 1t seems to be-"
"Well, then, put it up and come down to
supper"
And she remained in the room until her
orders were executed.
Johns appetite was not ferocious that
evening, but he made shift to swallow few
mouthfuls. After supper he said: 81 am
going out for a little walk. feel the need
of little exercise"
He was really going out to think, and he
lighted a cigar (something he rarely did) to
assist him in the operation. (How do men
think who have never learned to smokey
He used, to light it with, the note which he
had taken from the dressing case, and which
he carefully held in his fingers until it was

mind, but each in turn was dismissed as i'm
practicable. At length n new thought
seemed to strike him.

The Advatases of Rest.

There is no better preventative of nervous exhaustion than regular, unhurried muscular exercise. If we could moderate our hurry, lessen our worry, and increase our open air exercise, large proportion of nervous dis eases would be abolished. For those who cannot get a sufficient holiday the best sub stitute is an occasional day in bed. Many whose nerves are constantly strained in their daily vocation have discovered this for them selves.
 A Spanish merchant in Barcelona told his medical man that he always went to bed for two or three days whenever he could be spared from his business, and he laughed at those who spent their holidays on toilsome mountains. One of the hardest worked women in England, who has for many years conducted large wholesale business, retains excellent nerves at an advanced age, owing, it is believed, to her habit of taking one day a week in bed If we cannot avoid frequent agitation we ought, if possible, to give the nervous system time to recover itself between the shocks Even an hours seclusion aftrr a good lunch will deprive hurried, anxous day of much of its injury. The nerves can often be overcome by strategem when they refuse to be controlled by strength of will James Muir Howie in Nineteenth Century.
