GOOD INVESTNENTS.

Facts only are worth considering in

vestments in real estate. The follow
ing facts show how land investments
in south western Minnesota have turn

about ten years ago, bought several
quarter sections of land in Rock coun-
ty, paying Ss to $40 per acre therefor.
From these tracts he has received a
good interest every year from the
crops raised upon them. We are in
formed that he has sold these same
tracts for $22 and Sz4 per acre, after
taking off an enormous crop this year

luced better results than investments s

Our story of the Tower Of Babel is
known in Chaldean and Armenian ira
dition as The Story Of the Tower of
Tongues" 1t is one of the earliest recol-
lections of the Tigro-Euphrates basin,
and is related by Berosus in the follow,
ing manner:
"The first inhabitants of the earth
glorying in their own strength and size,
and despising the gods, undertook to
raise tower whose top should reach the
skies. This tower they erected in the
pace where Babylon's ruins now lay
thickly strewn over the ground. In
erecting this monster roadway to heaven
they toiled necessarily. But when it
had approached near unto heaven the
wind assisted the gods and overthrow
the work upon its contrivers; and its
ruins are said to be still at Babylon.
And at about the same time the gsds
introduced diversity Of tongues among
men, who till that time had all spoken
the one language. The place in which
they attempted to build the tower is now
called Babylon, on account of the con-
fusion of tongues, for confusion is by the
Hebrews called bable. ST. Louis Re-

to represent the different classes of per
sons in the kingdom. The hearts were

which. in form, somewhat resembles a
heart. The figure by us called a spade
was originally pike head. and typitied

were represented by a stone tile, now
known as diamond, while the farmers
were symbolized by the trefoil or clover

The conditions of service most desired
are that the kitchen should be as near the
dining room as possible, and that the pas.
sage between them should never lead past
the doors of any of the other living rooms.
In order to exclude odors and the sounds
Of cooking operations the dinner route
should lead through the pantry, the doors
of which should be hinged with double
hinge self closing spring butts, which will
allow the door to swing either way by sim
ply pushing against it, This arrangement
is also very convenient when passing with
a large dish which occupies both hands.
Since the cooking is the most important
work to be done in the house, the utensils
used for this purpose must be arranged so
as to be as near together as possible in or
der that time and energy shall not be
wasted by moving from the sink range
and other fixtures. Consequently the
kitchen need not be larger than required
for comfortable working space.
The first essential fixture is good cook
ing range, with water back and a heavy
copper boiler of not less than forty gallons
capacity In most cases portable range
is to be preferred, as it is less expensive
and is cleaner The range is best set upon
a tiled or slate hearth, with ample work
ing space about it. and should be fitted
with all modern adjuncts.
Dishwashing is the next in Importance,
and the facilities for tightening the work
should be as complete as possible. The
sink should be of porcelain or soapstone,
with "splashboard" or back of some ma
terial not less than IL inches in width, with
hardwood draining board at one end and

ThALadY Factntnm.

The "lady factotum" is what our Eng
hsh neighbors call those engaged in the
vocation of visiting housekeeper. This
is an employment which has been highly
recommended, and which a number Of
ladies in this country as well as in Eng
land have adopted. Such a person visits
ladies who from ill health or some other
reason are unable to perform their do
mestic duties. She oversees the servants,
inspects the stores and possibly under
takes shopping, marketing and the writ
ing of notes, and she performs other
Offices which are of too confidential and
responsible nature for the ordinary
servant to undertake.
If she is woman of energy, tact and
health she can accomplish great deal
by visiting number Of families for
about an hour day. She may go so
far as to employ assistants in marketing
and shopping, whose work she is able to
oversee with intelligence. She is paid
for this work on even better scale than
visiting governness, and if she is an
able, efficient woman in the items of in
specting stores and furnishing food at
down town prices, she can easily save a
family half her liberal remuneration.
The institution of such vocation is
a great relief to many overburdened or
i'll or incapable housewives, and presents
an excellent and lucrative field to women
of efficiency and refinement. 1t is a
place such as an elder sister might take,
and such indeed as many elder and un-
married sisters do take for no remunera-
tion beyond "love and affection. New

THE CHILDREN IN THE STREETS
est sounds In the city wide

The sweetest sounds In the city wide
Are those when the children shout and call
In the hollow streets at eventide.
When the mellow western shadows fall:
They run and they Jump,
They tumble and bump,
In the sounding streets in the evening time
Many time have tripped over Tot,
And broken my shins over Jacks and Jims;
But went on my way and needed 1t not,
For the laugh Of child is the sweetest Of
hymns;
They scream and they shout,
And they scamper about,
In the joyous streets In the evening time.
Br growlers that groEl and bachelors old,
Cry out at the game and object to the din;
They snarl and complain, they croak and they
scod,
At the child who plays in the street-it's a
sin.
Let them tumble and leap,
Like wee, wee sheep.
In the sounding streets of the evening time.

judgment enough to superintend the getting
of a meal, ,tasts enough to dress herself, pride
enough to wash her face, and sense enough
to use DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
whenever she needs it." The experience of
the aged has shown the "Favorite Prescrip,

is shown by getting the remedy from your

important rooms in dwelling house, for
upon its couveniences and equipments will
depend the success Of the housekeeping.
The aspect Of the kitchen should, where

the kitchen where il will be directly ex-

ton, who was Mr.. Parnell's great-uncle,
hanged himself in 1842. In the same
year the Earl of Munster, one of the il

shot himself in the head. In 1869 Lord
Cloncarry, the last of his house, jumped
from window and broke his neck.
In 1878 the last Earl of De la War;
drowned himself, and in 1876 Lord
Lyttleton, the insane brother-in-law Of
Gladstone, escaped from his keepers,
threw himself off the staircase of his
own house and was killed.
A story of suicide in which sentiment
is mingled is that of Price Baudouin,
