heart. 1t is not good for man to be
alone, and there is where the whole
secret comes in. Man needs a help
mate; woman needs some one to
cling to.
We must change nature, If we would
change the existing order of things.
But we fancy Mrs. Wells cries out, half
the time the support to which she
must cling is worthless! True, but
that does not make the instinct to
cling any the less strong. 1t is almost
always true that woman takes her
view of life according as she is mar
ried. If her husband is an all sufli
Gent big, broad-guaged man, her opin
ion of mankind in general is liberia
one; but let her be united to a bully
a coward and time-server and she
will regard men with suspicion. Mrs
Sherwood has one view of the case
Mrs. Well the other. And the worlC
goes on marrying and giving il
marriage.

ONE BLESSED BASE

Fairhaven certainly has brilliant
future. That is admitted by all I'M
biased persons who have investigated
the matter. A great many mighty
enterprises are under consideration,
and though some of them may fail,
there is one proposition pending and
with most flattering prospect of ulti-
mate organization and success, upon
which we can safely lean with free
sense of security. Quite a time may

When in certain painful affections the
physician advises the use of cold applica-
tions, and, if the effect from them is not
pleasing, then that hot should be tried the
patient is likely to consider it rather an
uncertain sort of treatment, of doubtful
value either way. 1t is, indeed, rather a
curious thing that heat and cold can often
be used INTERCHANGEABLE with like effects
Extreme heat will destroy the skin, and
extreme cold will do the same Now, head
ache is sometimes relieved by hot applica-
tions, and yet in some instances it aggra
Yates the trouble. In case of the latter
oftentimes the cold applications will effect

The Graceful Way to Do II.

The manner in which a woman leaves
and enters her vehicle is advanced by some
writer as a test of whether she was born in
the purple, or at least accustomed to car
rage life This authority says; "She
should have one foot out and firmly set
upon the carriage step before she rein-
pushes the sitting posture; then the body
should follow easily and naturally. Moth
ing is more awkward than to see a woman
thrust her head forth first, and then find
herself forced to double herself up to nc.
complish the rest of the exit. Watch one
who knows how to gracefully sink her
weight from one foot to the other almost
without losing perfectly perpendicular
position, securing instant ly walking poise
as she touches the ground, and the differ
ence OF her method and that OF another
who lands very nearly in a tumble on the
sidewalk will be dscernible.

A QUEER QUESTION

There are people who wonder how
the writers in daily newspapers and
other rapidly coming publications find
always something TO write about, but
they are very innocent sort OF people
as TO such matters. The real wonder
is that so comparatively few accept
able writers find time for the mental
and manual labor they perform in
writing all the matter that is pro-
duced by them. For while it is true
that i'm an average million of would-be
writer's there are about seventeen
writers whose stuff goes into the
better class publications, especially
magazines. it becomes thereby evident
that the number furnishing mental
pabulum must be doing a wonderful
lot OF work.
As to subjects, they strike thinking
writers like big ball among nine-pins
every few minutes when the mental
muscle is up-so to speaker while
the gray PARTICLES Of the brain are
jostling around eager for work. Sub
jects? why subjects are thicker than
hops in Puyallup in a good season
And some OF them are such remarka-
bly, queer subjects. For instance, just
lately, two Of the ablest women in the
country, Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Sher-
wood, have been having just the
rattlingest kind Of time In the North
American Review, over what may be
generalized as to why women marry.
or don't, as the case may be. That is
to say, in one particular, whether the
decrease In matrimony among modern
women is owing to the determination
not to marry on the part OF the
women themselves, or because the
right man does not come along.
Mrs. Wells believes that women
are reused to a realization that TO
be female bachelor is not TO disgrace
oneself and that the working woman
who sees the example of her down
trodden mother will have none OF It,.
Mrs. Sherwood, on the other hand, be-
lieves that marriage is just as popular
as 1t ever was, and that women of
forty-superior women-still wed In
ferior boys when they get a chance.

The money orders issued by the postoffics
had their origin in private speculation BY
three postoffice officials, who began the
system in l7v2 At that time, however, nc
order could be issued for more than five
guineas, and the charge for sending that
amount was 4s. Cd. The system was taken
over by the postofiice in 1898, and the five
guineas for which A. Cd was charged In
l7V2 can now be sent for fvepence
Postal orders are but decade old. Their
issue was begun in 1881, and since then
their popularity has increased year by year,
so much so, indeed. that in business circles

many hands as a medium Of exchange be-

IN CONVERSATION.

One Should Show a Gentle Hospitality ia
the Thoughts of Another.
A distinguished conversational of the
past was wont to say that the secret Of be
ing agreeable in conversation was to be
hospitable to the ideas of others. He af
frmed that some people only half listened
to you, because they were considering,
even while you spoke, with what wealth OF
wit, with what fine words they should re
ply, and they began to speak almost before
your sentence had died from your lips.
Those people, he said, might be brilliant
witty, dazzling, but they could never be
agreeable. You do not love to talk to
them. You feel that they are impatient
for their turn to come, and that they have
no hospitality toward your thoughts-none
of that gentle friendliness that asks your
idea in and makes much of it.

The Lancet, commenting upon the effects
of mental overwork, declares that "over-
work, both mental and bodily, is at once
the most general and the least regarded
form of illness to which we are subject in
the present age" We do not pay sufficient
attention to the two great essentials of
timely rest and wholesome diet. The
signs of overwork are easily recognized.
They are want of appetite and inability to
sleep. Unfortunately, however, we are
not always in position to act upon the
warning afforded by this simple test.

and to tread freely on the heel. Within a
