One Thing at a Time.

Il think young women of the pres
ent day attempt too great variety of
things. One thing ut time is rule
they seem to have forgotten"
The speaker WAS a middle-a aged wo.
man who has herself achieved fame in
several widely differing lines, and it is
therefore evident that she did pot
mean that young women should con.
fine themselves solely to one pursuit
yet a hystander asked if that we're he1
meaning.
Indeed no." replied the first speak.
er. who WAS Miss Amelia b. Edwards,
musician, novelist, and Psychologist.
Far from that! | only mean that
ones time should not be frittered away
in the attempt to do many things at
the same moment. | notice that the
young women of to-day will devote
perhaps an hour Il week to art, two
hours to singing. rs much more to the
piano. an hour to hearing read
'slimsy' paper relative TO some episode.
oIrperhaps even to IA whole period OF
history. passing over centuries as if
they were but moments, and for litera-
ture they read few more or less in
telligent book reviews, or listen to an
other slimsy paper from some one of
the many men or women who seek to
make Il livelihood by preparing dilu-
tons of history and literature for the
benefit of those who are either too indo-
lent to read and study for themselves
or have undertaken so many things
that they can not study any one of
them thoroughly. Two or three other
hours of each week may be devoted to
a language. and more time than all of
these pursuits will unitedy claim, is
employed by the young women in go
ing from place to place and in talking
about how busy they are"
These words of woman like Miss
Edwards should induce reflection on
the part of parents, teachers and the
young themselves. 1t is very natural
for bright, active young minds to wish
to know everything to be proficient
in every study and accomplishment
that attracts them; but they should
learn to say no to themselves when
this temptation besets them. or if they
can not do this, their parents and
teachers should do it for them Wo-

He Was No Suicide.

Say, mister, give me some money
to buy some supper with. l haven't
had Il bite to eat to-day. Can't you
help me along?"
1t was a street beggar accosting a
sorrowful looking young man on one
of the principal thoroughfares of the
city. says the Kansas City Globe. The
young man stopped. There's a
nickle." said he. Its the last l have,

Are you so much in need as that,
partner?" asked the beggar.
Yes, | have been looking for work
for two weeks. but it's no use, and nv
moneys all gone" For while the
beggar hesitated; then he pulled out

You're worse off than | am
No" answered the young man,
firmly. 1T won't do me any good
good-by," and he walked rapidly down
the street.
A policeman overheard the remark,
and he followed and overlook the
stranger.
Look here" said he, "are YOU the
fellow that's about to commit suicide?''
A hearty laugh interrupted further
questioning.
That's all right. officer said the
would-be suicide. Il am just irving a
little game on these street beggars.

Character Revealed by the Cigar.

If man smokes his cigar only
enough to keep it lighted. and relishes
taking it out of his mouth to watch the
curl of smoke in the air, set him down
as an easy-going man. Beware of the
man who never releases his grip on
the cigar, and is indifferent whether it
burns or not; he is cool. calculating
and eXacting. The man that smokes
bit. rests Il bit. and fumbles the cigar
more or less. is easily affected by cir
cumstances. If the cigar goes out fire.
quently, the smoker has n whole
souled disposition, is a "hail fellow
well met" with lively brain, a glib
tongue, and generally fund of cap
ital anecdotes. A nervous man who
fumbles his cigar a great deal is sort
of popinjay among men. Holding the
cigar constantly between his teeth,
chewing it occasionally, and not car
ing if it be lighted at ALL are the char
acteristics of men who have the tenac-
ity of bulldogs. The fop stands his
cigar on end. and an experienced
smoker points it straight ahead. or
almost at right angles with his course.

The secret of this motion is in the

Familiarities of Young Girls.

There is very little left to call the
people you love if you lavish words of
affection on every stranger whom YOU
meet. If you call young woman
whom vou have known just half an
hour Dear, " and one whom you have
known three days Darling there will
be no tender endearing term for you to
address to those who have your whole
heart. Girls who are not of necessity
gushing. are often apt to speak in the
most familiar manner. Good speech
Is certainly pure silver but there are
so many times when silence would out
weigh it and be perfect gold. To tell
of ones family affairs, to tell of ones
joys and worries to some one who has
sympathetic manner and seems to
invite 1t, is ut once a weakness and a
misfortune. To write letter in which
you use endearing terms, in which YOU
discuss personal matters, is more than
merely iudiScreet it is dangerous.
Don't you think if you are bit familiar
in speech or with the pen to man,
that he is going TO more than meet
this half way? Don't you think if YOU
call him by his first name he is very
app W Cali you Dy yours, anu perhaps
before people whom you do not care to
have think lightly of you? If YOU per-
nit him to speak of things not usually
discussed. do not imagine for one mo-
ment he is going to regard the CONVEX
sation as confidential. He will always
tell it to somebody and you can then
imagine how much further down in the
esteem of two people you have gone.
Don't permit any man to be familiar
with you 10 the extent of calling you
odd Girl. or citing you as One of
the boys" You don't belong among
the boys. and you shouldn't he counted
there. Don't let any man. unless you
Sre bethrothed to him. kiss you. Lips
are of little worth to John which have
been pressed by Tom. Dick and Harry.

A Novel Water Pitcher.

A firm of London china manufac.
turers have introduced, in the Toilet
Aquarius." an invention as ingenious
as it is simple. The water-container,
holding about as much as an ordinary
toilet jug, is oblong in shape, and rests
upon framework of metal in such a
manner that it discharges the water
into the basin merely by drawing the
handle forward. The exertion is
thus minimized SO rs TO be no more
than that involved in turning on a tap,
which is great consideration for
ladies and for all invalids Moreover,
the splashing which so often occurs in
pouring out from a heavy jug is saved,
and breakages are reduced to mini
mum.

500 TO BUILD SOUTHWEST
The Etlgeley Mail Gossips Concern
ing the 500 Extension.
Ogden, Utah, the Objective PolL3
---A Midland Pacific Trans
continental Line,

A week or So ago The Mail an
nounced that during the latter part
of this month important develop.
ment in regard to the 500 road
might be expected. What these
might be was only to be surmised.
The Mail has information from a
reliable source that will at least be
interesting if not definite on this
point. While the result of this
seasons crop will doubtless influence
railway extension in North Oak ota,
it is understood that with the 500
system it will cut but little figure.
being backed in its Northwestern
business by the Canada Atlantic,
and reaching for Western and
Northwestern territory, as we'll as
for Pacific outlet. The present
hitch appears to be in regard to the
Immediate extension, whether on
the line Of the Aberdeen, Bismarck
and Northwestern, or in the dlrec-
tion originally planned, the latter
being the mostprobable.
The most probable plan yet in
dicated seems to be now before the
management. A typographical sur
vey Of the route starts at present
end Of the track at Boynton, going
southwesterly and crossing the
Missouri river IN the vicinity
Of LaGrace; thence southwesterly
through South Dakota, keeping to
the northwest Of the Black Hills,
and diagonally through Wyoming
to Ogden, Utah, as a terminal,
there to form a conjunction with
the Central Pacific, giving the 500
system the shortest and most direct
route from one seaboard to-. the
other.
While it cannot be said that any
plans have beena' definitely decided
upon it is quite likely that the ex-
tension Of the road will be with this
route in view. In that case the 500
will come 10 nearer Edgeley than
it is at present.
As evidence Of the reliability of
The Mails information in regard
to the intention Of the $500" road
to extend, it may be cited that in
an interview in; Minneapolis the
other day, Hon. Thos. Lowry, the
president, in reply to .question as
