There is Better Success Than Wealth.

A very rich business man of Boston
told an interviewer the other day how
he began his business life on one dol
lar week, and how he advanced from
that point to his present position by
being temperate, industrious and hon
est. He ended by saying: "Any young
man can do as we'll as 1 have done. #
he only will"
Young men know that this is not
true. Tens of thousands of young men
during the forty years of that mer-
chants successful career, have been as
vlrtuous as he, without making much
Roadway in business. They have been
Punctual, diligent, faithful, and we'll
skilled in their vocation; but there
they are, about where they were years
ago, working hard for moderate com
pensation, and seeing no prospect of
much change
1t is not possible for many men to
found great stores and make great for
tunes in them, for the simple season
that the largest city does not furnish
business for many such. These prizes
fall to the lot of the few individuals in
each trade who combine in themselves
great talent for business with great
tenacity of purpose. They passion
ately want to succeed, and they know
how.
Ii our merchant had said that many
young men could do much better than
he had done, he would have come
nearer the truth. In most of our great
and famous places of business there are
clerks who have done great deal better
than their employers. We saw one the
other day, young man aged 20, salary
$3.50 a year, whose father died ten
years ago, leaving wife and four chill
dren with little provision. This clerk
was the eldest boy; he accepted the
sacred duty which devolved upon him
with cheerful courage. He has carried
it bravely along ever since, and hes
won in it really brilliant success
happy himself, and a cause of happi-
ness to those dearest to him.
There are men whose natural voca-
ton it is to control millions of dollars,
and own tedious superiority of other
things. Happily, most Of us are spared
this great trouble, and have a chance
to discover how little is required for a
truly successful and Joyous existence.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Washing Made Easy

Do any of the farmers wives have
trouble with their laundry work. For
many years I tried the old fashioned
way soaking the clothes over night,
treating them with two waters, then
boiling, bluing, and starching. Often
it would be close on to supper time
before the boiler and tubs were set
away. had been given several recipes
for new methods but none of them
seemed to leave the clothes rs white as
had been accustomed to seeing them.
One day Icalled on neighbor quite early
IN the morning and founa her clothes
were all on the lines and that she was
busy tidying up the house. On question
the following recipe which 1 tried and
found that the clothes came out clean
and white. For one bar of soap use
three tablespoonfuls of coal oil, such
as is used in lamps. Put enough water
in the boiler to wash the clothes, add
the oil and hard soap cut up fine or its
equivalent of soft soap; let it come to a
boil; then put in the white clothes that
have been wet with cold water. If the
bands of any of the garments are much
soiled rub little soap on them; boil
one hour. While they are boiling wet
the next boilerful and if very much
solled add another spoonful of the oil
and more soap. The next boiler will
not need any more oil. There is no
saving in soap, as it takes as much as
the old way, but there is great saving
of time and muscle. When all the
clothes have been boiled, rinse in two
waters, starch and hang out to dry.
When WOODEN articles are washed it is a
good plan to hang them indoors to dry,
as the wind tends to shrink them.

THE POULTRY YARD.
OYSTER Shells,

Many farmer in the West who lives
far from the sea shore or from large
cities, where oyster shells are abundant,
may have at times felt that perhaps his
lack of profit in poultry keeping was
due to the fact that he could not afford
to get oyster shells at the expense they
would be to him when obtained in such
small quantities as he would need. To
such we commend the following which
we clip from the Poultry Keeper:
The Poultry World takes up the mat
ter of feeding oyster shells to fowls, and
the editor expresses himself as follows:
Rash man is he who dares in these
days to speak good word for oyster
shells. Has not one poultry editor ex-
posed them? And did not writer,
wears before this poultry editor published
his great expose, dare to doubt their use
in furnishing lime to fowls whose sys-
TENS were overloaded with that article
from the food they ate? And yet,
strange to say, the hens like ground oys-
ter shells lust as we'll as they did before
these articles were written. and seem,
IKE the American public, as Barnum
once said, as if they liked to be hum
plugged. They don't seem to have read
these articles. The trade in ground
oyster shells continues to be brisk, we

A Daily Struggle Against Fat.

Lillian Russell is the victim of her
own beauty, says the New York World,
and the dread of getting fat keeps her
as miserable as the humblest chorus
girl in the Casino company. She can't
eat any sort OF sweetmeats, cakeor pas
try. Every vegetable is denied her
that grows under ground; no wine is
allowed to pass her lips; meat is limit
ed to one meal day, and between the
foods that she dare not eat and does
not care to eat her bill of fare is con-
fined to bread and butter, lemons and
lettuce.
Every day she is compelled to walk
ten miles, and in this hot weather the
exercise is far from agreeable. She
dresses in blue flannel, wears cork
colored shoes, straw hat with a moist
sponge basted in the crown, and car
ries double-lined umbrella. AS the
object of this exercise is to keep her
flesh down, she never fails to weigh
herself before starting out, so that she
knows exactly what reduction is neces-
sary. A part Of her outfit consists of
long strips of white flannel which are
eoiled about her body spirally and laid
double where the flesh is too abundant.
In this snug wooden suit the only Lii
| Ian walks until she is rich rose color
and dripping with perspiration. when
she is rubbed down with alcohol, re-
freshed with cold bullion and put to
bed. On her toilet as much care and
money are spent as if she were a prin-
cess. Every day she receives the visits
of hair-dresser,, manicure and pedi-
cure. and a bathing mistress prepares
her yapor baths.
