WORKOUT MOTHERS.

How Many Women Fail and Grow Old Long
Before Their Time.
There are great many people who
break down in health and spirits and
fall into actual disease when little
good sense would save them. As rule,
American women are apt to err on the
side of -unselfishness They are over
conscientious and are apt~ to under
to their families, or the tax which they
are making upon it to contribute to the
trivial pleasures OF. others. Justice to
herself is often the last thing the
American mother considers, although
that justice to herself in the matter of
maintaining her own health and mental
caliber, is of the utmost Importance to
her family. No intelligent mother can
underestimate the Importance of her
OWN presence--and work in-her- house
hold, but it is almost universal rule
among even the most intelligent and
conscientious to take upon themselves
burdens they are untitled to bear and
to neglect in their own persons those
precautions and safeguards of health
which they so anxiously provide for all
others in the family, but which in their
own persons are of greater necessity
than in that Of any other member of
the family, not even excepting the
bread-winner himself 1t is won

so we'll maintain such health as
they have, in view of their per-
sistent omission of these precautions,
and it is slight wonder indeed that the

A woman of fifty, like man of fifty,
should be in her prime of life. She
should take keeninterest in the world
around her and live in the present, not
in the past, as too many WORKOUT
women do. When her daughters have
arrived at an age when they can take
the burden of her cares off her should
ers, she may yet reign as the queen OF
her household, and should have more
time for intellectual pursuits than she
has ever had before. A great many
women fail and grow old and reminis-
cent because they make themselves
drudges and perform duties which it
would be far. better for the children to
do themselves: From the excess of
work which so many mothers take upon
themselves their appetites become
jaded, their, compilations pallid, their

Tho Strong Influence OF Colors Upon
-G.4ilin Minds
We often hear OF people who are
''oolor-blind," and are apt to pity them.
while there are others who are particu-
larly sensitive to slight differences Of
color. There are still other cases, illus
trative Of the strong influence of colors
upon certain minds, which are now at
tracing considerable attention from
scientists In Germany, particularly,
eminent psychologists are making
study of the subject
Nussbaum was among the first TO draw
notice to such cases, which are called
double Impressions or perceptions :"
He was not musical man, and could
not, from the sound, distinguish be-
tween an "a" and a ''g' struck on the
piano or another instrument
But tho tone affected him not only as
sound; at the same time he received
an impression Of color; II this impress.
sion was sufficiently distinct, he could,
by the simple exercise of his memory,
easily recognize the tone the next time
he heard it. This he did in many cases,
although at times the impression OF
color was too faint to be distinguished.
His brother, who had musical ear,
nevertheless received this impression OF
color, In even greater degree; 1t &C.
companied many sounds, aside from mu-
steal ones. The sound OF wagon wheels
was accompanied by the impression OF
gray color. A musical chord gave
gradually widening mass of mixed tints,
and during a musical performance, espe-
cially upon the piano, he received FREE
quent impressions of flashes Of different
colors.
There are other forms Of double inn
pressions," when the senses OF taste,
smell and feeling are accompanied by
impressions, received more or less dis
tinctly, of color. Fechner, acelebrated
psychologist is making special study
OF this subject He has sent papers.
asking for examples of this kind, to
many places, and one association alone
has sent him over four hundred cases.

This consists OF three logs six riches

but compacts the soil and makes 1t OF
uniform solidity.
We planted with line containing
twelve tags, 20 the rod and with brick
mason's trowel. The young man as
sisting would take a basket of plants,
drop the length of the line and plant
back until he met me when we would
shift the line and commence new.
We averaged a row of two hundred

The order of Freemasonry Is said to

order has been derived from many
sources, but not till about 17l7 did the

Masonry as now taught. Tho first
lodge in the United States was organ

most common use is the square and the

Lodge. Besides this there are several
designs worn by more advanced mem

the eommandery. There are also hun
