For Pure Government,

The machinery of government, the finan-
cial interests of the nation have received
the chief thoughts of men. These are i'm
portant, but there are other interests as
much greater than these as the boy is more
valuable than his clothes. These interests
require the united attention of the wisest
men and women. Beginning our political
work as we have with the school ballot for
the children, we now ask the municipal
ballot to keep the surroundings of home
pure and sweet, to protect the youth be-
yond the school house door. To unite the
best efforts of all for the common good of
all woman's ballot with mans would per-
petuate what they have founded. No man,
10 woman can alone make and keep COM
plete home; together they can and do. The
state should be but a larger home.-Mrs.
Mary l. Doe

The Living Room.

The greatest blessing of a small country
| house is big living room 1t should be
| fitted up with light, airy bits of furniture,
very few draperies, and above all else it
should have an appearance of comfort.
This can easily be accomplished at a very
! moderate expense, il one has a little taste
and originality. Nowadays there are so
many pretty things to make a room look
charming. Nothing is more effective and
serviceable for light covering to the floor
than square of plain ingram carpeting
or ingram filling, as it is usually called
This may be had in all colors The pref
test are the soft shades of grays, browns
and green's Sometimes a border is added
but it is really not needed, and only adds
to the expense.
The curtains should be of dotted Swiss
muslin, with ruffies, tied back with apple
green satin ribbons A large, nearly
square table for the center of the room can
be made of pine. The legs may be wound
with the material used for the cover, which
should be Of soft gray tinted velour. 1t
should nearly touch the floor and be fin
ished with narrow gray fringe For the
lounge, so to a reliable furniture store and
get good one with the best springs 1t is
cheaper in the long run
The very low broad divan touches are
the most comfortable, covered with velour
Ito match the table, and heaped up with
three or four big down or German feather
pillows.
The chairs may be touched up with green
bronze paint, if desired 1t is a cool and
pretty tint, and blends nicely with the
gray. a reading lamp should be on the
center table, along with numerous hooks
and magazines. If the table is sufficiently
large, have blotter and writing materials
at one end, with high back chair before
1t. "A large palm and a bowl OF roses, some
etchlngs and photographs, or reproductions

ner of the room tnost convenient for tea

Bearded Women.

Bearded women have existed st all
periods of the worlds history. Herodotus
has gwen us an account of Pedasnes
above HailcarpaSsus," among whom the
chin OF the priestess of Minerva regularly
budded with a large beard whenever any
great public calamity impended- A woman
of Copenhagen, Bartel Careful, had beard
reaching 70 her waist Charles XII OF
Sweden had female grenadier in his army
who possessed the beard as well as the
courage of man. Margaret, duchess of
Austria and governess of the Netherlands,
had large, wiry, stiff beard, on which she
greatly prided herself OF late years AL
bert, duke OF Bavaria, reported having a
young lady governess in his household who
was the proud possessor of a very large
black beard.-St. Louis Republic

Reason for Distrust.

A wee maiden was coming along Yonge
street, and as paused to look at some Of
the gay goods in a shop window l heard
the following dialogue:
when will I get my candy, mamma."
Mamma hasn't time; Well get it some
other day, when"-
"But you said today, mamma" replied
the little one in a curious tone of reproach.
/ looked at them. The little baby face
was full of entreaty and surprise, and the
older, harder, anxious one unmoved by the
reminder of promise unkept.
1t is pity that promises should be as
lightly made and as seldom fulfilled as
they too surely are. Poor little frizzle-
bangs was learning a lesson Of distrust,
and the little heart was over young to profit
by ir.-Toronto Mail.

ing it is probable that few hours practice
ander her direction would easily reduce
those clumsy stitches to a respectfully
small fraction Of an inch in length.
Another young lady admitted the other
day with laugh that she always darned
her stockings by drawing the edges of the
holes together with the thread, because
weaving it in and out as her mother did
took so much more time and care.
Girls of this sort belong to the unframed
or the lazy class. But the careless are
quite as common. and perhaps more exas-
perating.
''Oh. I'm very sorry, but you know al

ly the dreamy young person who spills
gravy in lady dap as dinner, because she
is passing the gravy boat with her mind on
the last chapter of a story, and does not
notice that she is tipping it.
Presently she helps to butter, with the
same vague expression In her eyes, and
sends the bit, which she attempts to cut
from the hard pat without looking at it,
flying across the table.

sister; 81 hope not, but, of course,
couldn't help its flying off. Pm very
sorry" But the trouble is precisely that
she is not very sorry; at least, not sorry
enough to prevent the same thing from
happening again.
1t is worth while to remember that there
is such thing as being stupid with ones
fingers. There should be direct communi-
cation between the hand and the brain,
but some people, with otherwise excellent
brains, do not seem to realize this fact,
and allow their hands kind of helpless
liberty which works disaster among bric-a-
brac, and makes many simple tasks abb
surdly rmidable.-Youth's Companion.

Baby's Dress.

If there is one item more than another
which needs the attention of the school
mistress or reformer it is that of dress.
The common mode of clothing infants to-
day is a survival of ancient superstitions
and ignorant devices The fashion of roll
ing bandage tightly round the body of
the infant; what an ignorant custom it
was and is! It might be breaking in for
the tight lacing of little girls, to come, but
the boys are subjected to it as well, and we
therefore look for the explanation farther,
and find it in belief that it strengthens
the back. Some say that it keeps the bones
in place, and others that without it the
child would burst.
Strange that nature should be thought
to have done so bad job on humanity!
Her brute creation appears to be sent into
the world properly made, and to thrive
without bandages. This band is always
fastened with pins, behind, and in old days,
when baby cried, there was always the
possibility that a pin was sticking in him.
Also it cannot but cause pain and i'll effects
on his health. Thus bandaged and weighted
down with many garments if baby lives at
all it is in spite of his clothes and with
heavy odds against him.-Ada Cone in
Jenness-Miller Magazine.

A house where there are cats and dogs
and birds appears not only to be place
where kindness rules, but to be a we'll
peopled place. 1t is full of life and cheer,
certain happy commotion which every
movement makes. 1t seems many times
the home that house of comparative still
ness and quiet does, and if we are in state
of health that does not cause our nerves to
be disturbed by noise and going and COM
ing, we are apt to prefer to spend our days
in such house rather than in the orderly
and decorous emptiness of house without
pets. The house without them is likely to
be house without children, too, since chill
dren will have their pets in some shape or
other, and usually as many as they can
compass arper's Bazaar.

What Mothers Are Made For.

A home is what a woman makes it; a
daughter is, in nine cases out of every ten,
the reflection of her mother. The training
of the girl of fifteen is shown in the woman
of fifty. A son may, by contact with the
rough world, sometimes outlive his early
home in1uences-a daughter rarely does.
She may make a misstep. Indiscretion
may be to her necessary teacher; but her
early domestic training will manifest it
self sooner or later A mothers word. a
domestic proverb, told at eventide by the
quiet fireside, has been recalled by many a
woman years after it was uttered.
81 thank God that my mother told me
what other women have been taught by
the world" said gentlewoman to me not
long ago. This, my friend, is the tribute
which your daughter and mine should be
able to pay to our memories long after we
are gone. The world has sharp way of
teaching its truths to girl. Is it not far
better, then, that her mother should tell
her with that sweet and sympathetic grace
and gentleness which only a mother knows?
The flowers most beautiful to the eye and
sweetest to the smell grow in good SOIL
The worlds noblest women have sprung
from good homes.-Edward w. Box in
Ladies' Home Journal.
