! Western Ladies Who Conduct Large En-
terprises with Great Success.
A Mrs. Augustus Wilson is at the
head of land syndicate in the Neosho
valley, Kansas. Besides engaging in
number of public-spirited enter
prlses, she conducts a newspaper
and has skillfully laid out a town. It
is not a little amusing to see one sec
tion of it labeled ''Widow's Colony"
This has a decided smack of the
Princess Ida's" territory. Mrs. Will
son has donated $12, ZOO in money and
5000 volumes of her own collecting
to the founding of free circulating
library, to be controlled by the munic-
ipal authorities.
Another Western woman who has
stepped out of the line usually laid
down for her sex, is Mrs. w. M. Dills.
of Springfield, near independence, Mo.
She was originally from the Blue
Grass region of Kentucky, and is
known as the ''best judge of horsehesh
in this valley" She is fine-looking
woman of forty-fve, with her beauti-
full, soft black eyes, and gracious
manner. She is an enthusiastic horse
woman of the progressive type, and
talks and writes knowingly of trotters
and 'solid bays"
Although Mrs. Dills is most thor
oughty at home among the valuable
stud of the stable, she has reared a
creditable family, and was known as
a beauty in her younger days. Like
most of the Western women of busi-
ness, she is Southerner all through.
Indeed, L find that these children of
luxury, when pushed into the world,
make a greater success of life than the
harder. women farther north. 1t has
grown into fashion to suppose that a
woman must come from New England
if she shows an aptitude for business.
This is certainly not the case.-Den-

Mrs. Sparks came slowly. taking out

YOUR THOUGHTS.
What Would They Be Like Should They
Take Form Around You?

What Would They Be Like Should They
Take Form Around You?
Did you ever think what sort of q
world it would make if all your feel
fngs and thoughts took form around
you? just suppose that your thoughts
which fit about so actively from one
attractive subject to another. should
be seen as birds and insects flying
here and there around you. Let us
think whether sweet birds and lovely
butterflies would delight our eyes, or
whether we should be stung and bitten
by swarm of noxious flies. Bright,
cheerful thoughts they must be which
would become good birds and insects
Thoughts of delight in lovely things
around us, and OF gratitude for such
gifts; thoughts which love to inger
around the sweet plans which are bios
soming into useful work; thoughts
which delight to sport in the sunshine
of love and kindly cheerfulness, never
turning to any event but to see some
hopeful sign, some cause for gratitude,
never turning to another person but
to think kindly of him and to wish him
well. But are there also thoughts less
kind, which sting aud bite, and do
their best to kill the happiness of
others, which would surround us with
stinging wasps and biting insects?
Are there complaining thoughts, end :
thoughts which are not true, loving to
disparage others and to accuse them2
Such will add themselves to the buzz
ing, singing swarm And are there
thoughts which delight to duger
around forbidden pleasures, trying
to make what is wrong seem allow
able? These, too, will increase
the swarm of vile insects which gather
about 7ead and unclean objects. Do
you wis. to live in such a hateful
swarmp Ahen drive away the foul and
unkind thoughts. Keepyou thoughts
busy with what is pure and sweet and
useful Compel them to think kindly
and truly, and to find out ways of do
ing good. Compel them to see the
bright side of events as they pass, and
to rise to the Lord in gratitude. Then =
if this change should take place, you
would be delighted by the sweet
songed birds and lovely insects which
fly among the sparkling flowers. Next
time let us think of the change very
like this which does take place with
all in the other world.-Nes0 Church

HOUSEHOLD ETHICS.
The Degrading Viciousness of the Mod ern
Idea of the Family,

|
Idea of the Family.
A good family is not an unlimited
monarchy, with an absolute tyrant al
its head ruling over his terrorized de.
pendents. 1t is rather republic, with
its executive, judicial and legislative
branches. Each member should have
his share in its councils, this share
proportioned to the native worth of his
judgment and usefulness.
The modern idea of the family, as of
set of dependents living on the bounty
of the husband and father, is essential
ly a vicious one
Perhaps right here may be found a
clew, which will help to answer
the question asked so frequently
of late: '1s marriage a failureP"
Women marry husbands to support
them. The husband not only must
support the wife, but a hired servant,
whose bump of destructiveness is
usually her largest cranial develop
ment, and whose prodigal wastefulness
is only equaled by her general igno-
rance. Children are trained up in the
same way. 1t never occurs to them
that the first duty, and the inestimable
privilege of the human animal, is to
take care of himself. The 'old man.
(the successor of the old-time father)
is an inexhaustible bank upon which
all can draw, and find their drafts
honOred every time.
Of course, during the years of in
fancy and helplessness, a child's nat
ural supporters are his parents; but
after he becomes strong enough to
enter the active efforts of life, his
natural supporter is himself. Of
course he can not be thrown upon his
own resources all at once; but it is the
highest development of parental fore
sight to make the children gradually
self-supporting. No self-respecting
young man should look to his father to
give him an education higher than he
can find in the public schools The
for self-education in the
highest courses are now so numerous.
that any young man of good health
and average energy, can put himself
through college, and obtain better
education than if his father footed the
bills. Every father insults boy when
he does for him what the boy should
do for himself. Poverty is frequently
the richest legacy that father can
eave his son. Yankee Blade.

which it was difficult to decide. A
writer, who had drawn up eight bonds
at the instance of the one or the other,
did not know upon which OF them to fis
the charge.
Speaking Of the similarity existing
between these twin brothers calls to
mind the fact that Mr. F. Galton, a
learned Englishman, who is an author
ity on the matter, says: ''One would
expect that twins would commonly be
found to possess a certain average
likeness to one another; that a few
would greatly fall short of it. But this
is not always the case. Extreme SINH
larity and extremely dissimilarity be-
| tween twins of the same sex are nearly
as common as moderate resemblance.
When the twins are boy and a girl
they are never closely alike" Mr..
Galton gives some anecdotes regard
ing the mistaken identity of twins
made by near relatives: When the
twins are children they have common
iy to be distinguished by ribbons tied
around their wrist or neck, and yet
one is sometimes fed, physiced and
whipped by mistake for the other. A
pair of twins were changed in their
bath, and the doubt grew up with them
whether A was not really B, and vice
versa. An artist was engaged on the
portrait of twins, the children being
about four years of age; he was COM
peeled to lay aside his work for about
three weeks, and on resuming 1t could
not tell to which child the respective
likeness he had in hand belonged.
Many tutors have been unable I'd dis
tinguish their twin pupils: It is re-
lated of twin sisters that they used
regularly to impose on their music
teacher when one of them wanted a
whole holiday.
They had their lessons at separate
hours, and the one girl sacrificed her.

self. Of other female twins it was
written: Exactly alike in all, their
schoolmasters never could tell them
apart. At dancing parties they
constantly changed partners with
out discovery. Their close re
is scarcely diminished by
age" Two twins were fond of play
ing tricks at school, and complaints
were frequently made against them,
but the boys would never own which
was the guilty one, and the complain
ants were never certain which of the
two he was. One headmaster used to
say he would never fog the innocent
for the guilty, while to balance ac-
counts another used to fog both.
Many twins have seen his or her re-
iection in a looking glass; and ad- |
dressed it in the belief that it was the
