that will follow, that loss will termi-
nate in gain. that trial will issue in
rest, doubt in satisfaction, suffering in
patience. The Creators character is
good, lust and true. His plan for His
children must be the same, Take your

great question is not what you will get,
but what you will become The great

The woman who complains that she
has no place in the world has only to
open her eyes, and in most instances
she will readily see what is waiting
for her. The fact that she does not like
that particular field is no argument
against its usefulness for her. Patience
Strong, detained at home by an unto
ward accident when the long-wished-
for European tour was about to become
reality, found opportunities by the
score for useful service. If no home du-
ties call, the sign is plain that in some
broader field there is, in happy sense
of the word, q career to be sought The
cultivation of some talent may be des-
tined to bring pleasure and profit The
student has boundless field before
him. To many secluded one the
Chautauqua reading courses have
proved sources of untold, almost unend-
ing delight. If the necessity of self
support exists, there is large place for
the single woman. Good nurses, teach
ers, artists musicians, writers, dress
makers, and workers in dozen more
lines of industry are always in demand.
None but the inefficient or the unfaith-
full ordinarily need complain of lack of
employment
With some there is great unwilling
ness to accept the place for which they
have special fitness. The adept in the
womanly art of needle-worlS who, de-
spising her talent, aspires to the re-
wards of an artists skill, while lacking
fitness for such a position, has reason
to find herself without position. Sue
cess is to be expected in the line of
ones abilities, not always in the line of
ones desires Discomfort because ge-
MUS or great power has been denied MS
is simply an impious fault-fnding with
the Creators plan. If all women were
great musicians, where were the needle
workers? If all eXcelled in ministering
to the sick, where should we seek our
works of art and tasteful decorations?
Willing to be placed where one can ac-
complish most, always means happiness
and contentnent. The oft-quoted
apothegm, 'There is always room at
the top" is worthy OF the author OF
Proverbs. "Place aux dames," is the
watchwoid of the century. The single
woman, better than her married sister
because, ordinarily, she has greater
freedom-is in position to reap the adj
vantages of the hour. Let her exult in
her heritage, and not allow complaint
to pass her lips, in this closing decade
of the nineteenth century, that there is
no place for her.-Helen Marshal
North, in Harpers' Bazaar.

Little Pete never intends to misstate
things. but his very figurative magma
ton sometimes gets the better of his
facts. He starts out to tell something
which is perfectly true, but before he
is done he has generally drifted off into
some picturesque exaggeration. The
other day he exclaimed to companion:
"Just think, Billy! Out in Chicago
they aren't going to be cruel to the
pigs any more when they kill them.
They're going to chloroform them"
GLOW do they do it?" asked Billy.
"Why, they just put sponge in front
of the pigs nose and he goes right to
sleep, and when he comes to himself
he says; why, my hams gomez And
by and by he says: Goodness! Some
body's sawed my leg off, and then he
finds out that he's all cut up!''-Chi

1917 BILE for Lack of Economy.
Economy is simply the avoidance OF
all waste, and economical houselseep-
ing means the endeavor to obtain for
the whole household the utmost
amount of health, comfort and enjoy
ment Of life. In this sense it is surely
the duty of every mistress of house,
hold, from the highest to the lowest,
to be economical. Much has been
written and spoken about the waste
fulness of the poorest classes, reproach
which is unfortunately only too
well deserved but is equally
deserved by most well-to-do house
holds To take only the item
of food; how much is often wasted
in the preparation of single dish which
forms but part of one of the courses
of a dinner The plea that it can be
well afforded is no justification for
waste
The two chief articles of food which
our cooks recognize the value of either
of these, although the French cooks
know the value of the former under its
most imposing name of chapelure. In
plain English, this is stale bread dried
in the oven and broken down, or nearly
pulverized, by being rolled with a
heavy stone bottle; not on any account
with the rolling-pin that is used
for pastry, because the hard crusts
indent the wooden rolling-pins and
even scratch the marble ones,
and this is apt to make the pastry
heavy. These crumbs should be assort-
ed and kept in bottles, brown and white
bread separately, and coarse and fine
crumbs also separately, and they are
then ready for use when needed. The
preparation is an easy matter when the
cook gets into the habit Of collecting
all the clean bits of bread and putting
them to dry in the oven over night, and
any leisure moment can be spent in
pulverizing and sitting the crumbs.
They are used in many ways-for fried
fish, for hams, for buildings 1t is a
vexation to prepare crumbs every time
that they are needed, while, If bottles
of chapelure are at hand, of various
degrees of fineness, the dishes that re-
quire crumbs can be prepared at very
short notice.-Econom Housekeep.

One American Ruin.

1t is said that the United States have
no ruins, but this is far from being
true. A few years ago the great coun-
try house of Hon. William Walter
Phelps on his estate in New Jersey was
burned. Mr. Phelps was asked if he
would rebuild it. He said he would not;
that he had another residence on his
estate that answered his requirements,
and the walls of the burned buildings,
over which the vines are now Chamber
ing, made such an imposing and at
tractive ruin that he intended to allow
them to remain in that condition.

WALL GUARDS.
How to Prevent Unsightly Marks and
Defacements.


How to Prevent Unsightly Marks and
Defacements.
1t is very distressing to neat house
keeper to find her wallpaper defaced
by careless hand, or more likely by
careless heads resting against it. The
wall in the immediate vicinity of the
lounge or of the divan is quite often
defaced in that way. To prevent such
defacing a clever designer has suggested
wall guard, to consist of little cur
tain like sash curtain, draped around
the wall about three feet above the
lounge. Such drapery in pretty,
delicately furnished room might be
very pretty and be made very effective.
A chair rail of wood is a good protec-
ton in the dining-room against the
backs of chairs, which are quite
likely to be rubbed up against
the wall and leave their
mark. This chair rail may be made a
graceful, ornamental part of the room
as well as useful one. 1t is usually
placed about as high on the wall as the
top of the chair and is strip of wood,
varying in width from two to five or six
inches. f.3
Such an arrangement as this divides
the lower part of the wall off like a
'dado, and is especially desirable if the
ceiling is too high to look well. In bed
rooms pretty little curtain of Swiss
muslin over silk or Silesia makes an
excellent wall protection in the vicinity
of the washstand, and many of the new
washstands are furnished with tall
posts and rod between them to hold
such curtains. In such case it is not
necessary to have the inner lining of
silk or color, and it is desirable to dis
pense with this inner curtain, because
it can not be washed and does not seem
as dainty or fresh as Swiss or tamboured
muslin. In. Y. Tribune.

Other Washington Matters.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Senator PETER OF
Kansas to-day introduced bill of purely
alliance and paterpal character intended to
secure the loan by the national government
of the sum of one hundred million dollars

Everyone who accepts loan Of this descrip-
ton is to give promissory note for the
amount and he is limited in his borrowing
to one-h half the cash valuation OF his land.
To secure a fair rate of interest on the
money loaned, the governor of the State is
to collect semi-annually a tax of one per
cent and turn it into the national treasury.
When the principal of the notes falls due,
if tho promissory notes are unpaid, the
mortgages are to be foreclosed and the
lands sold. If there is no bidder for a tract
the land is to he bid in for the United States
aud the occupant is to be permitted to re-
main on it in consideration of the rental
equal to tax OF per cent,
safe guard upon the issue of the treas
ury notes under the terms of the bill is
provided in clause limiting their amount
to total not exceeding 800 per capita,
for the whole country, and not less than
$50 per capita for the whole population Of
tho State of Indiana.

REVENUE STEAMER WRECKED.
The Gallatin Goes Ashore at Manchester,
Mass, and is Total Loss.

The Gallatin Goes Ashore at Man hestcr,
Mass, and is a Total Loss.
MANCHESTER, Mass, Jan. 6.-The United
States revenue steamer Gallatin was
wrecked off Manchester at II :15 this morn
ing. The Galatin started from Kttery,
Me-, this morning. bound across the bay to
Provincetown, with two officers short. At
$3.50 she passed the Salvages in her course.
The patent log was set at 955 and the
weather became thick and soon it began to
snow. The course of the vessel was then
changed, intending to make Gloucester for
q harbor.
At 10 the vessel struck on a sunken
ledge. The engine was stopped and back
ed, bus the vessel was fast. She began
pounding heavily, and the captain called
the men to man the boats. In the mean
time the boat was rolling heavily. The
smoke stack going by the board to star
board, struck and instantly killed j. Jacob
son, the carpenter, in the bow OF the cutter
at the davits and carried the body over
board. The vessel was sinking fast and all
hands took to the boats and sighted land
on the port side. They pulled in and after
attempting to land on the beach, reached a
rocky cove at Eagle Head.
The officers were taken to the Manchester.
house and the crew sent to Boston. The
crew saw a small schooner capsize Off Mag
nolia, with four men clinging to her, but
lost sight of her in the binding snow storm.
At 4:30 tho storm had ebated sufficiently
to sight the vessel which had broken in two,
the forenast being all that was standing
The hull was entirely submerged. The ves-
sci is total loss. The officers and crew lost
everything as it was less than 10 minutes
from the time she struck before she filled
with water. The fault seems to be with
the pilot, who lost his reckoning There
was crew OF 2S seamen. Capt. Gabrelson
has had command of the vessel for the past
10 months. The vessel was IS years old.
