The great want to-day is not for
more opportunities, but the power to
grapple with hindrances to obtain the
desired objects. The men who are fill
ing leading places in the various call
ings and pursuits of life are usually
those who in their youth had to battle
with adversely and meager opportu-
mites, and who, by the force thus de-
veloped, have risen to their present
high stations.
1t is interesting to note that on this
principle the sons Of the royal family
of Germany are required to learn a
trade, some manual industry, that they
may learn self mastery, and be able
to endure hardship. A self INDUCED,
easy going boy, who never knew one
act of self denial, promises little in the
years of mature manhood. The boy
is father to the man in that sense.

A Missouri Snake Farm.

Sig. Don Allen and Senorita Lama
Lee, representing the j. E. Childs snake
farm at Chadwick, were in Ozark Fri
day and Saturday establishing agencies
for their rattlesnake oil. Miss Lee had
with her pair of water moccasins that
she handled as though they were kit
tens. There is no doubt that snakes can
be petted as easily as any thing else, and
for choice between snakes and ALI
gators we would certainly take snakes.
Among the many enterprises in south
west Missouri there is probably none
that attracts more attention than does
the snake farm located three-fourths of
a mile due west of Chadwick. The farm
proper consists of about five acres, half
inclosed by a natural stone wall or a
ledge.
On one side of this Enclosure is a nat
ural rock cave, and out of this cave
runs an everlasting stream Of the purest
water. This spring being on the high
est spot of land m the farm it is easily
conveyed to all places where needed
Mr.. Childs has been dealing in snakes
and manufacturing rattlesnake oil for
over ten years, and finds it quite prof
liable, as he supplies all species of
snakes for exhibition purposes, all kinds
Of snake curiosities and rattlesnake oil to
the drug trade, and charges an admis-
sion fee of ten cents to all visitors who
come to the farm. He is now fixing up
the place for the summer trade, and
will have large pens built for the snakes.
with living pond of water in each one
and q platform on the outside where
visitors may stand out of danger look
ing at the hundred different species, all
liz their natural state, eating, drinking,
playing, swimming, fighting, sleeping.

SOME DECORAIITE DONTS.

Don't furnish a north room with
blue or any cold color. Yellow or
golden brown hangings will produce
the effect of perpetual sunshine.
Don't make narrow door narrower
by heavy portiere. A small house
is made stuffy by too many hangings.
Don't put chandeliers in room
with low ceiling. Side brackets are
fashionable and are to be had in ar
tistic shapes.
Don't have too much Of one kind of
decoration in the house. Grille work
and stained glass repeated in more
than two rooms is monotonous.
Don't buy a bright carpet to put into
a room where the furniture is not to
be correspondence toned up.
Don't have the floor, wall and fur
niture in a room covered with materi-
al which has a decided pattern.
Don't put into room unsteady lit
tie tables loaded with meaningless
brio -brac.

LADIES' COLUMN.

Every one has observed after pur-
chasing new piano that it soon takes
on a dull, smoky appearance. To re-
move this use a fine sponge, tepid wa
er and CASTLE soap. Go over the case
a little at time. The water alone
without the soap will usually be all
that is needed. A channels skin, as
dry as can be wrung out of water,
should be used to dry the surface af-
ter using the sponge. For old pianos
a polish of raw linseed oil (two parts)
alcohol and best vinegar Zone part
each) may be applied with good re-
suits if care is taken to use very lit
tie at a time and to thoroughly rub
that little off, Shake the polish fire.
quently, use soft cotton cloth, one
piece to rub it on and large clean
piece to finish it off with. Bruises,
usually on the front, can be taken off
by rubbing with powdered pumice
stone and water or with sapolio. Clean
the keys with alcohol and water.

fore it is done add the parsley. Strain

ECONOMICAL OMELETs. -Many deli

made by the addition Of cold fish or
minced and cooked vegetables. Take
cupful Of any cold fish, preferably
some salt fish, although fresh fish can
be palatably seasoned and used, free
it from bones and heat in white
sauce made from half a pint of milk

flour; break into this three eggs and
stir until they are properly cook

and set in the oven until the whites
are set.

Weighing Paper with Groceries.

Speaking at meeting of the Middle
ton Cooperative society, the chairman
said he should like the members to re-
mind their wives that when they went
to any Of the shops Of the society they
should be careful to see that an equal
weight Of paper was put on each scale,
and that they got full weight of any
article without the paper. This system
was commenced at the beginning of last
quarter, and it had made difference in
the dividend Of about twopence in the
pound. OF at the very least of - pence
in the pound. They had turnover of
about e15, 900 per quarter in the grocery
department alone, and the change meant
about 600, or e8 per week less in re-
ceipts.-London Tit-Bits.

An Inviting Challenge.

In the Hungarian parliament the other
day the secretary Of state refused to give
the name of an officer who had been
punished for cruel treatment of a pri-
vate soldier, alleging that publicity
would be Il double penalty. Upon this
a member of the opposition rose and
said, Il cali that naIneless officer a pig
and a scoundrel, and now think he will
be anxious to give us his name Per
haps not. The unnamed offender is, ex
hypothesi, coward and may prefer to
remain in tho safe shelter of obscu1ity.
