"Do the work that's nearest,
Though it's dull awhiles,
Helping when We meet them,
Lame dogs over stiles.p

There is q certain sense of dignity IN
having something like text 10 enlarge
upon, and while the above quoted lines
are not very highfiown, though written
by Charles KInslev, there is a truth in
them, which is more than can be said of
others in which the rhythm is nearer
perfection Ideas and lessons that profit
are what the world needs, and how these
are conveyed is of minor consideration.
The lesson the Household would bring
this morning is to the tired mother, she
who spatches q moment between whites
to look at THE GAZETTE. Little sashes
have been tied, shoes buttoned and as
the mothers eye follows the dear babies
as they trudge to Sunday school she feels
a glow of loving pride. The door closes
and somehow the sunlight seems shut on:
from heart and home. Now if at this
momen. a few words, snatched she feels
at the cost of work undone, bring en-
cOuragement, who shall say that the mis-
sion Is not worthy one. All! ''the
work that's nearest, ~ how dull il seemsl

In this day of unrest, that has infected
women as well as men, when women are
scorning their high destiny, when wives
and mothers are craving the excitement
of money making, the notorietY of
world of bsbblers, when sctuated by
personal vanity aud discontented with
what their husbands can afford they
would plunge into the mad whirl OUT
side home and exchange the sober hues
of the dove for the gay plumage Of the
peacock, it is pleasant TO read the other
side. In the current number of Bel
ford q Magazine there is an article whose
author hides behind the pseudonym of
rMaris' that deserves attention from
these restless ones. II is IN reply 70 q
previous article IN which the manaoled
condition of women was deplored, and
against this she particularly disclaims.

Styles OF American Beauty.
Postnn G1ohe

The close observer cannot but perceive
that there are changes taking place in
our established standards of beauty.
For instance the Southern type of lovely
woman was formerly a creature of Ian
gorous movement, dusky hair, passion
ate. dark eyes; to-day she is frequently
a classic blonde. devoid of high color +,
like Cherokee rose, perfect IN outline
and energetic in movement, as are the
traditional Northerners. Those Ameri-
can women, however, who are the most
admired abroad are conjunction OF
these two leading types-golden hair uni
ted to brown or hazel eyes, soft, smooth
skin, with faint olive shading, little COL
or, features sharply defined, and the fig
ure healthily rounded.

New Idea in Mourning Stationery.

Some attempt has been made, 1 no.
tice, to modify the hitherto unredeemed
hideousness of mourning stationery says
the Lady's Pictorial. The new idea is q
curious one, and consists of single
black triangle in corner Of 9th erwise
white note paper and envelopes. 1 can
not say that the effect strikes me as par
ticularly elegant or attractive, but
the new notion deserves to be welcomed,
II only because its general adoption
would finally dispose OF the vulgar and
absurd custom still observed by many
people, of regulating the depth Of the
mourning border on their stationery by
the nearness of the relative whose loss 1t
indicates.

Breathe Properly.

If mothers and all the dear girls who
may become mothers would breathe
dress and exercise properly the dawn Of
q healthier, happier era would be al
hand. Consumption, rightly called
''lung starvation, - would be well nigh
impossible IL right breathing were always
praoticed.
Thousands of people who seek health
In Florida and elsewhere might get we'll

vering enough to make right use OF
their lungs. II pure air could be sold by

be more properly regarded; but il is sc

price which has appeared in the millinery
world.
Button holed scallops will finish the
edge of all-wool autumn and winter cos

Bands of ostrich feathers are promised
during the coming season, to have an
extensive run.
Soft silk embroidered hankerchiefs
which exactly correspond with the gown
are fancy of the moment.
Lightly yelled arms aud shoulders are
now the rule at the resorts with pretty
girls and young married women.
Cavalry yellow is a new color that has
just been introduced in dress goods. 1t
ought to be followed by artillery red.

The plain round circular will be much
used for ball and theater wraps. These
will not only be of soft wool goods, but
of handsome silks, velvets and brocades.
Sleeves of fine wool gowns are cut open
to the elbow, but are buttoped to that

The Tennis Girl.


The fairest of the fairies, she,
The daintiest OF doves,
The pretiiest Of pictures,
The loveliest of loves
Her face ia like an angels,
Each hand is like pearl
Most beautiful of creatures il
The pretty tennis girl.
Her voice Is like the SIRENS song,
Her words nv heart entrance,
Her laughing eyes are full of love,
And charm with every glance;
Her dainty feet in shoes of tan

! lows her for her loveliness-
The pretty tennis girl.
The golden tresses like frame
Surround her charming fsce,
And half conceal and naH reveal
The neck OF wondrous grace;
bless the lucky breeze that plays
About each truant curl.
And though she doesn't care for me
/ love the tennis girl

a Refrigeration Suggestion.

GORDON, Tex, April A. 1900.
Editor Gazette.
1t seems that the policy of the retrig-
orator company that is now forming is to
locate their plant at some particular
point and buy their meat at some stock
yard where every stockman will have to
ship TO. What advantage is there to the
shipper over Chicago or other points,
more than the distance? Without STOP
ping 10 argue the matter, / will submit
plan [ think much better, and that is
this: The refrigerator company to keep
their capital intact and buy their meat
from small Tefrigerators located
at as accessible points as their demands
require. A marker can always be sdp-
piled when the money Is ready. l have
been talking with some of our substan-
tial men, and they are willing to locate
q small one here at Gordon, capable of
refrigerating from twenty TO fifty tons a
week, and think will sign n contract to
that effect-that is, if such plant don Il
cost too murh, and I am satisfied other
places would be too glad to do the same
thing. Some of the advantages would
be the building up Of small towns, and
giving the small farmer an opportunity
The central company would get better
meat, cheaper to them, and very little
trouble, and should the time come when
business changes, instead of having a
costly plant OH hand that would be hard
10 dispose of, they would have an ice
machine and a cold storage room which
would always be worth what II cost. The
time will certainly come when such
plan rs l have outlined will be the only
one in vogue and think instead of sink
ing $500 900, as a large plant will cost,
II is better 10 start right. Find market
and then let contracts for the meat 10 be
frozen and put in the refrigerator cars.
The railroads will furnish them when
there is a demand for them.
