10 revenge wrong is to do a wrong.
There is no such fatters as man him
self,
Sloth, like rust. consumes faster than
labor wears, while the used key is always
bright
If some folks haG their way about this
world how few people could live comfor-
tably in it.
Self-respect is the noblest garment with
which man may clothe himselt-the most
elevatlng feeling with which the mild can
be inspired.
The world Is a looking-glass and gives
back to every man the expression of his
own face. Frown at it and will in turn look
sour y upon you; laugh at 1t and with it
and it is jolly, kind companion; so let all
young persons take choice.

What Makes a Woman GracefuIe

Some women are too active and nervous
to be graceful. They never wholly yield
the muscles to repose. Even in sleep they
look strained and restricted. Some
women would faint stiff. There is great
difference in the ways of being graceful.
One is so after the manner of the mustang
or Arabian filIy, another has the motion of
the willow OF of grain waving in the wind.
Most artists consider grace to emanate
from the disposition. The comfortable,
good natured, easy-going woman is not the
graceful woman A soft, negative dispo-
sition can not look hard and stiff. A
aower-hke poetic disposition with GER
tain amount of alertness and force is the
besG aterial for the artists model. One
who with this combined feeling for art,
"a fanciful Imagination and intelligence,
would be worth her weight in gold. Such,
unfortunately, are hard to find.

Cheerful Kitchens.

| often wonder why we didn't takr
more pains to make our kitchens cheerful
and pleasant when if not ourselves, some
one must spend the greater part of their
time there. bare, poorly-ighted and
ventilated kitchen, which is only sugges-
tive of the hard work to be done there
is not a good place to tempt our
girls to learn the mysteries of cooking. 1t
Is just as true that pleasant surroundings,
cheerful, l3asant places In which to work,
make the work seem less burdensome and
he . to keep cheerful hearts and faces as
that dismal dreary surroundings make
dreary lives. The fact cannot be denied
that every one is more or less influenced by
his surroundings.
If the kitchen is made as pleasant
room as may be inside, look after the back
yard, that view from its window may be
pleasant. Plant vines to run over the
windows, and have flower beds near at
hand. They will afford you much more
pleasure there than if they were all in
the front yard. | shall never forget the
first summer | kept house. My
kitchen had front door and back
door. As | did not care to use the
front.door, | had the steps taken away,
and planted morning glory vines there,
which soon covered the doorway, and all
the morning the delicate pink, white and
blue blossoms helped me with my work.
Near back window | had flower bed
where verbenias, phlox, baIsams, etc,
hourished and cheered me with their sweet
presence. By all means have flowers
around the kitchen.
Have an easy chair by the window, with
rug in front of it, and foot-rest, so that
you can drop down there for few minutes
rest which you would not take if obliged
to go to another room.
If you are just commencing housekeep-
ing, try his plan Have little less in
the parlor, and make the kitchen convent
ent and pleasant. If you have kept house,
and worked in dreary kitchens year after
year, try it, and see if it does not pay.
We should aim to get all the brightness
and pleasure out OF life possible. To do
the work of life well it must not be allow
ed to degenerate into drudgery, and moth
ing will do more to prevent this than to
give the work cheerful and bright sur

ONLY A WORD.
JOEL BENTON

JOEL BENTON.
Only word his lips let fall,
A careless word in wanton play
He did not think of 1t at all,
And idly went upon his way.
But in heart with sorrow sore,
The cruel g.5e Produced its smart,
And what he never thought of more
Conyulsed crushed and bleeding heart.
Only word another SPOKE
A simple word lit by a SMILE
And mental clouds their darkness broke
Which shadowed all the sky erewhiIe
4 life which hope had seemed to leave
Grew stror ger from Its generous might
A heart bowed down with utter grief
Felt the rare radiance of its light
The future rose serene and fair,
And sorrow lost lis bitter sting;
single word, though ligh; as air,
May seem very little thing:
But hope, joy, sorrow and dispair
By it in human hearts are stirred;
There is no thing more foul or fair
Than one slight utterance of word

state owns and runs sugar farm worked
by convicts. Recently bill was passed
by the Legislature to accept the two-cent
bounty under the Mckinley bill. Gov.
Hogg vetoed it, The vetoe closes in part
as follows: "The state is sovereign OF her
own affairs and cannot be disturbed in the
legitimate exercise of her prerogatives.
IL she desires to raise sugar by convict
labor, under no circumstances could she
with propriety ask or accept from any
government license to do so. Nor could
she yield to a Supervision of her affairs
by any officer not subordinate to her own
laws. For my part, | shall protest and

as meteors enter and pass through the
atmosphere is so much excess of that
of cannon ball that there is no com
parison between the two bodies A piece
of iron may be heated by pounding it on
an anvil, and the atmosphere acts like an
anvil to the extra terrestrial bodies that
enter it. 1t can be shown by a mathe-
matical calculation that the speed of the
meteorite and resistance Of that atmos-
phere are sufficient 10 produce the degree

WAY OF THE WORLD.
ADA 4. WELD

Aloft on the bough the fair fruit hung,
Caressed by the wind ana kissed by the sun,
And standing below as It swung out of reach
One longed foI taste of SO luscious peach
One just as perfect was lying below
Where the tickle wind tossed it hours ago;
Its tints are dainty, its form aS round
But nobody cared-for it lay on the ground
1t is ever the fruit that is just beyond reach,
Be it fame or homer, or love or peach,
That man longs for the most-why we never will
know,
Yet he scorns 10 pick where the fruit grows low.

No good farmer should fear competi-
ton. 1t is said to be and most truly so,
the life of trade. Every man needs
stlmulous to bring out of him his latent
force of intel ect, aud even of his mu~cu-
lar exertion. And if he will only exert
himself in the right direction the increas-
ed effort aroused by competition will be
successful in meeting and overcoming it.
