To Be a Model Hostess.

All the beautiful decorations on the table
will amount to nothing unless the hostess
herself wears, as decoration, a charming
manner and an absolute ignoring of any,
thing except thas which will give pleasure
to her guests, says The Ladies' Home Jour
nal If mistakes should occur it will be
wiser for her not to see them. If an awk.
ward servant should stumble aud upset
dish shs should bs as eqaabe as if some
one had only shrown crown of roses about
her, While it ia ber duty to permit no
guest to be neglected, it is also her duty
not to seem fustered or worried, aud she
is the best hostess always who manages to
make people fsel most at ease.
Don't attempt to do too much unless you
have servants who are capable of carrying
out your orders. A simple dianer, we'll
served, is al ways better form than 40 ela5
crate Que badly served, and with a half
cooked hoesess at the head of the tabls
Invite people who will help make your din
ner success, people who talk we'll, and
yet do not talk too much. Flashes of
silence are as much of an art in conversa-
tion IS are flashes of wit. Put together
the people who will grow Interested in
each other, and under no circumstances
yield to the selfish desire of some young
woman who wants to be near somebody
who won't be interested in her at all, and
who will in this way cause rift in the
harmony you desire to achieve. Have your
table as prettiiy decorated as you can, have
your linen as immaculate as possible, have
everything hot, as hs5 as it can be, and
everything cold. well iced. Do not make
the mistake of serving anything tepid; aud
as for yourself be as cool as your ice, as
bright as the candle light, as charming as
the fowers and ss sweet as the bonbons

How to Care Fer Running Gear.

The repair and renewal of running gear
is often burdensome expense to farmers
who keep variety Of carts. racks, farm
wagons ard riding carriages. Not infre-
quently this expense is largely increased
by lack of care, or by ignorance of the ef
fects which varied atmospheric conditions
have upon the wood work of wheels
These, if badly constructed at the start, are
costly articles, though they be had az gift,
To attain the best and most economical re-
suits, it is necessary to begin with honest
ly constructed gears, and then: give them
intelligent care.
The idea is quite prevalent that wheels
do best when housed upon an earth floor
"a practice that is not only unnecessary
but, 1nder ordinary conditions, positively
harmful. Besides the actual wear by use,
the agents most destructive to running
gears are moisture and the suns heat. Un-
less the wood work is thoroughly protected
by p4int or varnish it will swell whenever
it is wet, causing "springiug"of the spokes,
splitting of hub and felly, and perhaps the
Fdishing'' of the whole wheel. If a gear
is not thoroughly protected by paint it can
be readily seen that an earthen floor, usu
ally quite moist, is, therefore, not the best
kind Of support. When wheels are long
exposed to the SUMS rays there is likely to
be shrinkage of the wood that opens the,
joints readily, admitting moisture. When
it is necessary to leave q cart or wagon out
of doors, let some old blankets or pieces of
be thrown over the wheels, or,
better still, have on hand sheet of cheap
cloth large enough to cover body, wheels,
and all. Frequent painting of farm wa
gons, sleGs, etc., together with care as TO
exposure, will save many dollars of ex-
pense. A light carriage or wagon that is
driven upon the road should have its rims
painted and the whole vehicle vanished at
least once q year. That will go a long way
toward protecting it from the action Of the
weather.

The Voice Of the Charmer.

One amoug many Of my girls begins her
letter to me in this way: 81 sm in need of
advice" and, because there are SD many
who seem in the same sad predictameut, I
choose to answer her on this page. My
dear girl, no man of honor ever continually
visited girl, talked of love and yet said
that he did not think of marrisge. If be
does not think of marriage he ought not to
whisper of love, and the sooner yoar &C.
quairtance with him ceases the better it
will be for you. The man you expect to
love should expect to make you his wife,
and you cannot afford to listen to protesta
tions ofnever dying affection from men who
do not propose to put you in that most hon
orable of all pesitions-the position of a
wife. wish could make you understand
how dangerous this is; wish l could get
near enough to each one Of you to put my
hand on your shoulder and look in your
eyes, aud say, "Take care! Women whose
lives have beeu those of shame and sorrow
met their first temptation IN this way. Go
straight to your father or brother and tell
them what this man has said to you. Hear
what they say, and see what they think, aud
IL they are the honest. hearted men I bs
lieve them to be they will tell you as do:
Listen to no word of love that is not fol-
riage.'
"But," says dear little maiden, "we
can't get married yet; we have go, to work
to make home. and that is what we are
waiting and hoping for"
Yon are not the grill am speaking to,
CHEEKY Heart. Every body knows you ex-
pact to marry the man who is devoted to
you, aud everybody knows that it is juat
question of little self.denial aud little
wsting before the day will come when you
become mistress of a home as we'll as
heart. 1t is the girl who is ia doubt as to
what she ought to do; it is the girl who is
listening to the voice of the charmer, and
for whom fear 80 much, that am talking
to, aud ask her to write in letters of fire
on her brain and her heart just these words
Of warning; "The love that does not mean
marriage it is a disgrace even to call love-"

SANS RIDE.
BY ELYL.

Have you heard OF Sans wonderful ride.
On beast untried.
With gentle glide.
In way that would make show?
Well, If my informant hasn't lied,
And, If beside.
I may conf1de,
I'lltell you all you want to know.
1t seems a COW was left united,
In barn-yard wide
With fence divide
From her calf of a day or go.
Sam In that barn-yard gate did glide
With gentle stride,
But woe betide,
That COW some sign of fight did show.
But surely this she couldn't have meant,
She only went
AS ifintent
On riding him whether or no.
Now there are those who might have sighed
Others have cried.
But Sam complied,
And round that barn-yard he did go.
They say he did not sit astride,
And at his side
Perhaps to guide.
Were arms in thesshape of bow.
On they went In this curious way,
Over loose hay,
Near close of day,
AMI Rover couldn't hold them at bay.
AS the division fence they nighed,
Lo, some one cried,
The calf replied.
And that made end of Samuel's ride.
Now when Sam to the barn-yard goes,
He carries hoes,
And deals hard blows,
At the approach of horned foes.

I have walked amidst frost -blighted flowers.
Loneliest mortal of my race and time;
Caring naught of how the years went.
For my life has been all winter.
Tempest, battle, blood and storm,
Friends proved false and dropped off from
Me; faith and hope died hard-but died,
And the grave-clods falling on each coffin
Echoed back In bitterness upon my heart.
Love went from me in the shadows. and,
took no heed OF loving. saw no sunlight
In the heavens blue above me bending
But one day came Eros to me, and by
Way mysterious. yet twined about with
Flowers, did this great god lead me
To your fair and holy presence. to the
Glory of your beauty. to the light of your
Pure eyes. to the kisses of your red lips.

WHAT MAKES A Boy PoPULAR?-What
makes boy popular? Manllness. says
Hezekiah Butterworth in The Lodies' Home
journal. Dnriug the war. how schools and
colleges followed popular boys! These
young leaders were the many boys whose
hearts could be trusted. The boy who re-.
spects his mother has leadership in him.
The boy who is careful of his sister, is a
knight. The boy who will never violate
his word, and who will pledge his honor to
his own heart and change mot, will have
the confidence of his fellows. The boy
who defends the weak will one day become
hero among the strong.L The boy who
will never hurt the feelings of any one will
one day find himself in ths atm osphere of
universal sympathy. II know not" once
said the great Governor Andrew, "what
record of sin may await me in another
world; but this do know: neuer yet de-
spised man because he was poor, because
he was ignorant, or because he was black. F"
Shall tell you how to become popular
boy2 will. Be too manly and generous
and unselfsh to seek to be popular; be the
soul of honor, and love others batter than
yourself, and people will give you their
hearts and delight to make you happy.
That is what makes boy popular.

Fathers Of the Republic.
THEY WERE AN uNeoMMoNLY YOUNG SET
OF MEN.

OF MEN.
From "Topics' In January Centurv,
No fallacy is more firmly fixed in the
public mind than that which represents the
establishment of our Government as the
work of old men. The delusion is imbibed
in childhood, and is uDcorsciously cultive-
ted by the textbooks used in school. The
fathers of the republic are depicted in
all the histories with wigs, queues, and
other accessories of dress that apparently
betoken age, and the pupil naturally con
.cludes that they must have been old when
the nation was born.
In point of fact. they were an uncom-
monty young set of men. George Wash
ington, senior in age as well as-in authori-
ty and influence, was about 43 when the
revolution broke out, and 81 when he be-
came first President Thomas Jefferson,
only 33 when he wrote the Declaration of
Independence; Alexander Hamilton. but
80 when he became Secretary of the Treas
ury; James Madison, only % when he was
made member of Virginia committee of
safety, and SO when lie was Hamilton's
great collaboration in the production of that
great political classic 'sThe Federalist."
Nor were the leaders in the great enter
prise exceptional in this matter of age.
Forty names were signed to the Constitu-
ton OF the United States on the 18th day of
September, 1857. Leaving out of account
four whose birthdays are not given by the
books of reference, only five of the remain
ing 36 had reached the age of sixty; 90 cf
the number were less than forty-five years
old, and IL were under forty; among the
latter being one (Hamilton) of thirty, anoth-
er of twenty-nine, third of twenty eight,
and fourth who lacked some months of
twenty seven when the convention met.
The average age of all the members did not
quite reach forty five years. The most i'm
portant committee to which the instrument
was referred for final revision consisted of
five members, four of whom were between
thirty and thirty-six years of age, the. fifth
and least prominent being sixty.
