How Half Hours are Wasted and the
Loss it Leaves.

Perhaps it is not too much to assert
that the majority of women have very
inadequate conception of the value and
extent of time. The man of business
learns to understand just what five min
utes will do, and what it means. 1t may
mark the limit OF banking hours or the
departure of an important train.
Promptness is so large an essential in
business circles, and few wasted mo-
ments may mean so much of gain or loss
Or wasted opportunity, that men are
forced to learn the value of time, and less
frequently than women under estimate
it's uses.
The woman who, in feminine parlance,
"accomplishes" much is the woman who
has learned to use and save her minutes.
Many women who are really Industrious
think nothing of squandering ten or fif-
teen minutes in an unmeaning, unsatis-
factory chat with an acquaintance, and
then wonder, at the close of the day,
what has become OF the hours. A very
few misspent half hours destroy the
days usefulness. Almost as deplorable
as the waster of time in gossip is the
woman who never has time for a pleas
ant chat with her friend, and whose mind
is so crowded with social or household
cares that she inwardly grudges the time
given to a caller.
There is a happy medium between these
extremes which IS well worth every wo-
mans while to strive for Time means
golden opportunities for SO many help
full. interesting occupations. Balzac says
that in Paris everybody wants to find
twenty-ffth hour among the twenty
In our blessed America we are locking
away beyond that, and would welcome
the addition of round dozen hours to
the calendar day.

That Yellow Bow.

We are led to take the above title as q
subject for our weekly talk with ourread-
ers, because of it's suggestiveness as to
the excess OF decoration in our homes.
That dignity, character and good taste
should prevade the arrangement of the
furnishing OF our homes is self-evident.
With cultured and refined people nothing
which would detract from it, for mo-
ment would be entertained, and yet the
present craze for decoration, whereby
many pretty parlor is made to look
like Japanese curiosity shop, most GER
tainly is devoid OF good taste.
1t is not that all household decoration
is an evil, but the excess of it is always TO
be avoided Multitudinous are the di-
rections now given the housewife in books
and magazines for the adornment of her
home. Seemingly every conceivable
household article is gilded and ribboned
in order to do duty to this decorative
craze. What artistic inspiration there is
in hand-pOinted milking stool, tied with
q yellow satin bow, or an impossible
stork with it's pitiably slender legs paint
ed upon useless banners, panels and
screens, it is difficult to tell Let us do
away with those super6cialties. Orna-
ments that are no ornaments or cheap
decorations, often crude and inelegant,
can never add one line of beauty to the
home. One good, well executed painting
or bit OF embroidery on rich material,
perfect in stitch and harmony of color
and design, will furnish the parlor or sit
ting room far more than a dozen inferior
efforts. Ii slender purse will not admit
of even this, let the plainness and sim
pllclty of the room be it's recommends
tion in the quiet taste of it's furnishings.
Kensington art squares of any size,
which are nothing more or less than an
ingram carpet wooven with a pretty Dor
der and without seam, can now be pur-
chased very reasonably. A pretty lounge,
willow chairs, art cottOns for windows
artistically arranged, or even simple
white drapery, will give more of an ex-
preston Of refinement than any attempt
to copy heavy draperies OF rich fabrics
out of cheap material. Nothing furnishes
room more than tasteful curtains. We
have gone through the "crazy quilt
mania-now let us do away with fans and
queer fances in color, an over abundance
of bric-a-brac and too many yellow
bows

How to Keep the Ants Away.

"a. G." sends a valuable 'hint" to the
housekeepers in regard to ants. She
says that line of tar drawn around
each table leg, about six inches from the
floor, will effectually prevent these little
pests from getting up, so that anything
like food is entirely free from their depre-
dations, if placed upon a table so pre-
pared.

Ed. WoRLD:-Craig Baird met
with most painful accident on his
way to the railroad. His leg was
broken, or rather crushed, below the
knee, and he was otherwise severely
bruised. His old work team became
restless and Craig went to quiet them.
He got caught in one of the ropes,
and both horses turned on him, kick
ing and striking. They would have
made short work of him had it not
been for 10 Demasters, who happen
ed to be there and cut the ropes. One
of the horses is the same that tram
pied on Craig five or six years ago
Have not heard how ho is since the
accident.
A good many horses are dying on
the range. No one seems to know
the cause. You will find horse well

A Close Call.

Eilget Harms, better known as
"Sailor Jack" who worked at Ban
ner last year, came near losing his
life while attempting to cross North
Boise river last Thursday on the old
Rocky Bar trail. He was on his
way from this place to George AL
exander's, on Middle Fork, to visit
that gentleman, who is an old friend
of his, and to prospect. On reaching
North Boise he found the stream
very high. He constructed a raft,
and placed on it an ak, saddle, bride
and heavy coat containing some
valuable papers. When everything
was ready he drove the horse into the
stream and got onto the raft. The
horse went part way, and then at
tempted to return, when Mr.. Harms
fought him back. While paying at
tention to the horse the raft got the
best of him and struck rock. As II
struck he jumped as far from it as
possible and swan ashore, while the
horse made the east bank in safety
Everything on the raft was lost
Mr.. Harms returned to this place
Friday and left Saturday, going via
the mouth of North Fork, where he
will cross on boat and proceed VI
the river in search of his horse ane
the missing articles. Should anybod.
find the coat, the owner can be foune
, at Ale1ander's ranch, on Middle
