newspaper business in that fashion to-
day there is too much competition
conditions have changed; capital is re
qulred. And so it is through the
various lines OF business. You don't
find men running small shops nowadays
that is, You find but few of them, and
the number is growing gradually less.
This is the day of big capital, big en-
terprises, big everything, and men can
not start in for themselves as they
could twenty years ago, with anything
like the same chances of success.
On the face of it there seems to be
good deal of logic in such rresenta-
ton of the case. But it were idle to
let matters rest there. If it Is true
that times and conditions have chang
ell. then men must change with them
and adapt themselves to circumstances.
\ man must bear himself well before
that searching eye. After all it is Just
rs true as ever it was, despite this talk
of SUCK that man is the architect
of his own fortune. Men are arising
to day, although competition is keener
than ever it was; they are making
their individuality felt as their fathers
and grandfathers did in the DAYS gone
by. \ good deal is SAID about oppor-
tunities and taking advantage of them;
about opportunities coming to some
men and none to Others. But, after

TAXING REsT.-Many women never
rest. They seam not to understand
what rest, real rest means. To throw
ones self down with newspaper or
book is not rest; it is only change of
occupation. To sit down and keep the
fingers flying over some sort of fancy
work, as if one were pursued by de-
mon of unrest, is certainly not rest
But to lie at full length on hard sur
face, arms extended at the sides, head
back, with no pillow, eyes closed, all
cares and worries dismissed, this is
rest; this will smooth away wrinkles
in face and in temper; this will give
an air Of repose to the tired, ,anxious,ner-
vous woman; this will take away many

KIND WoRDs.-kind words produce
their own image in mems souls, and
beautiful image it is. They soothe and
and quiet the hearer. They sh ame him
out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings.
We have not yet begun to use
kind words IN such abundance as they
ought to be nsea.

FIEISH WHAT YoU BEGIN.-
Thousands start well, but never finish
one thing at 4 time. They have doz-
en- things on hand, and no one COM
pleted. Time is wasted on unfinished
work. Always finish what you begin.
One thing finished is worth hundred
half done. The completion of an un
dertaking yields more pleasure and
more profit than dozens of plans. The
man who is always planning or schem-
ing is rarely, if ever successful. He often
furnishes ideas for others who go per-
sistently to work and finish what his
ideas suggested. "That was my idea
my plan" We frequently hear some one
say, but the man who carried it out was
the one who benefited himself and
others. Do not begin what you cannot
finish. What you undertake to do, do
and reap the reward of your own ideas
and skill.

Why MONpAY.-Wherc so much
depends upon order aud accuracy in
the management of the housekeeper, it
is not always easy to proportion the
work of each day. Too much is thrown
upon Monday the house can be put to
rights, bread baked and dessersts made
for that day and the next. That night
the table may be laid and covered with
netting used for this purpose alone, the
clothing put in soak and all the mate
rials made ready for breakfast. Where
there is but one domestic, or none at
all, the week labor is thus under much
better control. The first meal should
consist of few dishes, and the dinner
may all be previously cooked. save the
vegetables. The domestic, who swept
hall, steps and piazza while the fire was
kindling, has only to remove the break
fast things, wash the dishes and
go to her laundry work. On Wednes-
day she is not over fatigned by the pre-
vious days work and there is time
enough to keep the house clean during
the remainder of the week, finishing
odd jobs on Monday.

A Girls Composition on Boys.

Boys are men that have not got as
big as their papas, and girls is young
women that will be young ladies by
and by. Man was made before woman.
When God looked at Adam, he said to
himself: "Well, l guess l can do bet
ter if | try again" and then he made
Eve. God liked Eve so much better
than Adam that there have been more
women than men ever since. Boys are
a trouble. They are wearing on every
thing but soap. If | had my way, half
the boys in the world would be little
girls, and the rest would be dolls. My
papa is so nice that guess he must have
been nice little girl when he was a
bov.
