to take care of it unless men are found
to harvest the grain. And still the mi
grafton continues from the country to
the cities. People go about the streets
of our cities looking for work and find
ing it not, the number of beggars in
creases, competition among working
men becomes more acute and wages
drop, while the wealth they strive
for rots in the fields for want of labor
to gather it. For, after all, the wealth
of the farm is the basis of all wealth
and represents in a somewhat altered
form the very values which the poor of
our cities seek. Railroads offer reduced
rates to carry the laborer to the field.
and there is promise of good wages, yet
he prefers to tramp the streets of the
city in search of the values he disdains
elsewhere. 1t seems that a syndicate
could make money and advance the in
terests of the whole country besides by
becoming the mediators between these
two classes OF people, the farmers look
ing for hands and the laborers looking
for work. ii. L. o. HEINEMANN.

Improving OPPORTUNITIES.

1t is narrated of bright woman to
whom the remark had been made,
Your husband is an exceedingly clever
man." that she replied: mo, he is not
cleverer than many other men. But
the difference between him and all
other people l ever knew is this-he
makes use of all his opportunities. "
That was, in itself, enough to make
him remarkabl for there are few of
whom half as much could be truthfully
said. Indeed, to one fully equipped
with all his powers, it is hardly posi-
BILE. With those who have been de-
prived of some faculty the case is
different. The wonderful attainments
made by the blind, tie crippled, or the
deaf mutes, illustrate this. Restricted
to few opportunities and making the
most of these, their energies are con-
centrated and effective. All things
have their compensations. No one
would wish for blindness, but, at least,
the blind man does not have his atten-
ton distracted as does one who sees.
He who hears little, sees and thinks
the more. 1t is essential, however diff
fcult. that we should concentrate at
tention upon the work in hand, ignor-
ing all opportunities excepting those
of value for that one thing.-Detroit

A DIFFERENT KIND OF BIBLE.
How Little Mary Innocently Rebuked Her
Older Sister.

Older Sister.
1t was Saturday afternoon, ard time
that little Mary should begin the prep
aration of her Sunday school lessons;
but, unfortunately, she was deeply en-
gagged in designing a new and elaborate
tea-gown for her oldest doll, who, so
Mary thought, had reached time of
life when tea-gown could no longer
be dispensed with.
Her mother several times called the
attention of the busy little dressmaker
to the advanced hour of the afternoon;
and finally her older sister, taking a
Bible from the shelf, said:
Come, Mary, I'll help you to learn
your lesson, and then you can go back
to your play"
Mary came over to her sisters side,
ready to begin the lesson, when sud
denly she exclaimed:
''Sister, let's study it out of grandpa's
Bible"
But what difference can it make?"
"Why, grandpa's Bible is so much
more interesting than yours"
''Oh, no, Mary, they are just the
same, exactly"
''Well," replied the observing child,
who probably had no thought of rcbull-
ing anybody, II really think grandpas
must be more interesting than yours;
he reads it SO much more. Chicago

RARELY A BEAUTY.

The Woman Who Wears Well Possessed
of More Intelligence Than Good Looks.
Many women please at first sight and
for a short time are thought simply
charming, but seldom, if ever, do these
brilliantly attractive ones wear well.
In short time they either feel well
enough acquainted to cease trying to
be agreeable as at first, or they have in
reality talked themselves out. Per-
haps they'are vain and others do not see
fit to pander to such evident self love.
BE that as it may, when the reaction
comes, the admirers and adorers of the
first day or two discover that the wit
was not spontaneous, the graceful man
ner natural or the interest in their
affairs genuine, and they drop the flash
ing, brilliant meteor and look about
for the steady glowing star that sheds
its bright radiance on all about in
quiet, unobstrusive manner, yet with
beauty all its own that is wonderfully
taking. The woman who wears well
is rarely beauty. If she were perhaps
she would consider her personal perfec-
tions so great that she would deem it
heart and mind that prove so attractive
to those about her.
She is usually possessed of rare in
telligence, which lights up her coun-
tenance as no mere beauty could ever
do; desire to please, which an unset
fish disposition naturally helps her to
accomplish.
She sinks her own identity and af-
fairs in those of others, and keeps q
sunny face turned toward the world,
her own troubles pushed far away out
of sight, while she does her best to as
sua ge those of Others
She is at no time either wonderfully
exacted or correspondingly depressed
She is always the same, yet never
monotonous, as her originality is one
of her chief charms.
If she marries she will love her hus-
band with all her heart, and to him she
will seem a treasure far above the
scintillating but changeable beauties
who takes a mans heart by storm

HOW MEN FALL WHEN SHOT.
The SIighter the Wound the More Com.
motion of the Body.

The SIighter the Wound the More Com
motion of the Body.
The manner in which men fall de-
ponds also upon the nature of the ac-
ton in which they are engaged Nearly
everyone is familiar with the tradi-
tional stage fall, where the victim of
the supposed death shot strikes an atti
tude, clasps his hands to his heart, stiff
fens every joint and muscle, breathes
Historically and goes down like log
toppled over from end to end.
Another popular yet erroneous no
ton is that men shot through the vi
tails leap into the air and go down in a
dramatic attitude. Sometimes men
are found on the field in striking posi-
tions, but often an examination shows
that the position was taken after the
fall. As u rule 4 man who is hit above
the hips goes down. The slighter the
wound the more commotion, for the
body instinctively resists, just as il
does when one slips or is pushed or col
lides with some object. But a wound
in vital spot weakens the resistance
and men sink at once or reel and tum-
bic with very little self-control. -

THE COMING EXPOSITION.

at 1t Wornan's History From the Tfns
of the Cliff DweIIers Will BE Illus
trated.
Mrs. Potter Palmer in an exhaustive
article on the World fair in the Ladies'
Home Journal, states that: This exhibit
in the woman's building will illustrate
the history of women from the time of
the cliff jewellers through the medieval
ages, when, though her mind was not
developed, her delicacy of touch was
made useful in copying the elaborate
manuscripts of the day and in making
the rich illustrations that accompanied
them in books of poetry; in textile fab
RIGS, wonderful embroideries, which
have been famous in every country and
period. The board viii endeavor to
secure, through its home and foreign
committees, the originals, reprOduc-
tons, or illustrations OF various famous
objects made by women which have
had important influence on the epoch
in which they We're produced, such, for
example, as the celebrated Baveux tap
estry, made by Matilda of Flanders, the
best and most complete history Of the
conquest of England by her husband,
William the Conqueror, and which is
constantly referred to by every author
ity treating of the military science.
arms, Announcements manners and
customs of that day. An effort will
also be made to procure 4 reproduction
of the famous doors of rasburg Ca
thedral, which were the work of Sa-
bina Won Steinbach, sister and assistant
of the architect. Permission to make
the copy has been officially asked by
the board from the German government,
and it is intended to use the doors for
the main entrance of the woman's
building. These illustrations will fol-
low in historical sequence down to the
present time, when her active brain is
educated to cope with the scientific
problems of the age, and her trained
hand to make the delicate machinery
of the watch. Such an exhibit as this
has never been made, but so quick are
the French people to seize an idea, that
since the announcement of the plans of
the lady managers in Paris, last June,
an exhibit illustrating the history of
wOman's progress has already been ar
ranged for next year in the Palais de
IIndustrie, so that, though the board of
lady managers has the honor of origin
ating this idea, it will not be the first
to put it into practical execution. Be
side the foregoing extensive exhibit,
women will have another opportunity
of displaying work of superior excel
lence in a very advantageous way in
the woman's building, over which the
board of lady managers will exercise
complete control. In its grand central
hall-the gallery of honor-will be-
grouped the most brilliant achieve
ments of women of every country and
in every line of work.

cullen Gordon"

Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger, known as
"Julien Gordon" spends large part of
the year at her country place, Idlesse
farm, on Long Island. The farm con-
sists of about seventy acres, the house
standing on bluff overlooking the
sound and the land being laid out
mostly in lawns. The house is fur
nished with taste. Mrs. Cruger's
brother, Thomas Wentworth StOrrow,
lived in France nearly all of his life,
and she was born in Paris. Her moth

GOODNESS SAVED HIM.
The Iron Dukes Interview with q MUIR
derOus Maniac.


Some years ago the duke of Yelling
ton was sitting at his library table
when the door opened, and without any
announcement in stalked figure of sim
gularly i'll omen.
"Who ere you?" asked the duke, in
his short and dry manner, looking up
without the slightest change of counte-
nance upon the intruder.
Il am Apollyon. l am sent here to
kill you"
Kill me? Very odd"

but must do my mission"
Very announcements; very busy; great
many letters to write; call again or
write me word. I'll be ready for you. 4"
The duke then went on with his cor
respondence. The maniac, appalled,
probably by the stern, immovable old
gentleman, backed out of the room and
in half an hour was in an asylum
