makes mistake. His driver says be is

and that he can tell when he is approach
ing any OF the little iron platforms which
act as levers to move the switches on the
road as we'll as if blessed with the keenes5

them over. the value Of Daniels sagacity
can be seen 1t once.

a Gifted Woman.

The hold enjoyed by one unobtrusiye in
dividuai upon those SO happy as to know
her is something phenomenal None name
her bit to praise her, and she has the
warmest corner of every heart that comes
her way. Now, what is the secret of her
great good fortune,
1t is not personal beauty, surely, and
she has no alfuring graces and tricks OF
manner. Her education is good and her
breeding unquestioned, but this is true Of
many of her associates who make 10
warm friends. How is it dones Merely
by this wise woman's phenomenal self eff
Placement. One hardly notices that she
never tells anything concerning her emo
tions or her affairs. People are so busy
telling her of theirs And it is like talk
ingso ones other self. She never seems
bored, and she follows ones condolences by
gentle, sympathetic questions, indicating
that her interest in the subject is not e3-
hausted and that she would gladly hear
more
She is simpatica, and she holds all con-
fidences inviolable. In consequence, she
is esteemed by choice circle of friends as
the hearts dearest" and her society is al
ways in demand by those who do not in the
least understand her hold upon them. Self
placement really brings ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
to this woman gifted ofthe gods.-Georgia

They Need Good Food.

Don't be too frantically economical.
SIS lack of conscience, and lots of people
who spend their lives in a hard, miserable
effort 20 save a few cents or even a few dol
lars seem to forget that they themselves,
their energy, youth, freshness and health
are precious possessions and should be
economical ever so much more rigidly than
anything else in the world. Don't econo-
mize on food; get the best, not necessarily
the fancy cuts of meat or forced vegeta bles
but best quality, sound, juicy meat, strong
soups, wholesome vegetables and a suf-
ficient variety in everything TO keep nature
family of women prepare all meals as if
men We're expected, that will insure less
tea. pastry and pickles and more of the
elements needed to build up brain and body
1t is great mistake TO fancy that
women do not need these elements as
much as men; as matter OF fact, they
need them more, for a womsn's nervous
energy uses up tissue and vitality faster
than she can possibly provide for it, and
the various small strains and bothers of
the day need as much force TO meet them
as the greater outdoor eXertion of the most
hard worked men, and the only reason on
earth why wives grow old, tiAid and worn
while their husbands are getting fat and

Let the Girls Romp.

Most mothers have dread OF romps. so
they lecture the girls daily on the proprie-
ties and eXhort them to be little ladies.
They like to see them very quiet and gen.
tie and as prim as possible. The lot Of
such children is rather pitiable. for they
are deprived of the fun and frolic which
they are entitled To. Children-boys and
girls-must have exercise 10 keep them
healthy Deprive them OF IL and they Will
fade away hike flowers without sunshine.
Running, racing, skipping, climbing
these are the things that strengthen the
muscles, expand the chest and build up
the nerves. The mild dose of exercise
taken in the nursery with cilistheDics or
gymnastics VIII not inviSorate the system
like good ronp in the open air. Mothers,
therefore, who counsel their little girls to
play very quietly make mistake Better
the laughing, Iosy checked, romping girl
than the pale, lily faced one who is called
every inch lady.
The latter rarely breaks things, or tears
her dresses, or tries her mothers patience
as the former does; but after all what do
the tearing and breaking amount to? Ii is
not a wise policy 20 put an old head On
young shoulders. Childhood is the time
for childish pranks and plays. The girls
grow into womanhood soon enough. Let

Fashion Repeats Itself.

How true it is that in costume, as in ev-
erything else, history repeats itself We
find tight lacing in vogue eight centuries
ago, and a small waist was considered a
beauty by the subjects of William Rufus
and Henry [. The girdle was always an
important part OF women's costume in
early times, and could be frightened at
pleasure, while a fashion prevailed OF con-
filming the tunic with something remotely
resembling the Swiss bodice, laced in
front, which also gave opportunities for
COMPRISING the body out Of its natural
shape.
The sleeves accompanying the Saxon
tunic were made in a series of rolls, finished
off with a close bracelet or band, and
served also the purpose of gloves (before
those useful articles were inventedD being
full and long, SO that they could be pulled
over the hand. In the Twelfth century
they were cut in different ways: some
times tight to the wrist and sometimes
very wide and long. Ornaments were
freely worn, and the long wells which were
the headgear for ladies of quality were
fastened with gold pins.-Notes and QueI-

The Destructive Broom.

don't suppose will receive much back
ing from lady readers when / assert that
not one woman in hundred knows how TO
sweep! Nevertheless it is a fact. When a
woman sweeps she holds the broom at an
angle that brings one corner of the brush
on the floor and then pushes it forward
with all her might, giving it kind of a
fiirt at the end of the stroke that throws
the dust and dirt into the air. The heavier
particles of dirt she finally captures in one
corner of the room and gets most of it into
the dustpan, but the lighter-and main
portion-fiieS up into the air and soon set
ties upon the floor, furniture and walls
Then madam 'dusts'' the room and knocks
a goods deal of the dirt off its resting places
and it returns to its old quarters on the
floor.
Now any man who has watched the
process will say that have told the plain
truth. Look at a broom after it has been
woman-used for a few weeks! One corner
turned up and sticking out like sleigh
runner, the whole brush lopsided, ruinedl
The right way to sweep is to hold the
broom with its brush square on the floor
and a little behind the body of the
sweeper. Bring it forward with a regular,
steady movement, and stopits forward mo
ton before the ends of the brush catch IN
the carpet and act like so many springs to
throw dirt in the air. Persuade" the dirt
TO advance, and don't try to scare it. Act
as if you were petting sick baby and not
AS if you were pitching hay. Turn the
broom over occasionally SO as to wear it
evenly, and your broom, furniture and car
pets Will last longer, and so will you, for the
labor won't be half so great and the salts
faction will be three times as great. When
it comes To dusting-for even with proper
sweeping some dust will arise-don't use a
feather buster, an old turkey tail or some
such abomination, but take a cloth and
wipe up the dust, not fiirt it off on the floor
again. Try scientific sweep once, and
you will not 90 back to the old way again

Where q Baby Ought to Sit.

The high chairs used for young children
are injurious. A bar is placed across the
front of the chair to prevent the little one
from falling out, and the little one leans
forward against it to get at the playthings
on the table in front. The chest is thus
pressed inward against the bar, the Shout
ders are rounded with the scapulSe pro-
jecting, the head falls forward, and the
muscles of the back are elongated and
weakened.
The legs, too, resting on the board placed
underneath TO support them are cTamped,
and the child is actually forced into bad
and unhealthy position. A rug on the floor
is the best place for small child to play.
and it should be allowed TO roll about is
much as it likes As it grows bigger low
chair and table, suited to its size, can be
provided; if it falls off that chair no harm
will be done, but to fasten a child in one
position may produce serious evil.-Cor.

one; that is to say, the next big one, 70

one; that is to say, the next big one, for
he was continually writing special arti-
cles. FOrepaughs circus came to Roches-
ter one summer, and on the night Of the
show brilliant idea struck Crowley.
He went to work, and in a couple Of
hours evolved story about the escape
of the rhinoceros from the circus. He
told graphically how it broke ont Of its
cage, gored couple of keepers and
started for Lake Ontario. He located
this story On the Brinker farm, which
was then comparatively little settled
portion Of the city down in the north
ern part. He told Of the chase that the
circus men and residents of that section
made after the animal, and described its
actions. He wrote a paragraph or two
on the damage that the immense beast
had done to property and eloquently por-
trayed the sufferings of number Of
horses that it ripped up.
The whole story was over two columns
long and made great sensation. People
fiocked down to the Brinker farm TO see
the ground on which the brute did its
bloody work, and while they found moth
ing, Crowley squared himself by print
ing another story the next day telling Of
its capture, and as the circus was miles
away nobody knew whether il was true
or not. This story was copied into every
paper in the country, and 1t gave OLE
Adam Forepaugh tremendous amount
of free advertising. The old man was
immensely tickled with it and deter
mined to make use of Crowley.
One night the re1headed youth sailed
into the Office after his evening assign
ment and was told to do something or
other by the city editor. He started
down stairs to the street and was met
by messenger boy, who handed him
telegram. 1t read, Come 10 Philadel-
phia at once to 20 ahead OF my show
around the world. and was signed 10y
Adam Forepaugh. Crowley started IN.
uedi&tely foT Philadelphia. without
even waiting 10 20 back intO the o13ce
and resign. He went around the world
ahead Of the show, was gone three years
or more, and one afternoon walked into
the city room and said to the city editor,
IF You don't mind. II 90 ont and finish
