Discrimination VIII Save the HOUSEWIFE
StranRth.

Discrimination Will Save the HOUSEWIFE
Strength.
1t takes some good judgment on the
part of the housekeeper to know where
and how to slight her work. We see
housekeepers who go through their
daily and yearly round of work, doing
all things well, and doing the unim-
portant things as well as the most i'm
portant one Such o housekeeper, if
she does her W work, is of course a
drudge, as any person must be who lays
out the same amount of effort on oil
things, regardless Of the results, and
who neglects nothing that may be made
n subject of work. Some housewives
have a faculty for making work where
there is no need for it; they are natur-
ally Industrious and love cleanliness,
and their life is q constant warfare
against a speck of dust or a misplaced
chair or something else that offends the
imagination more than any require
ments of their existence. With these
people the game is too often not worth
the powder that they expend to bring
it down. They are not discriminating
in the application of their labor, and
are. just as likely to direct it where it
shows no result as where it does.
These women lever say die, and If their
back is broken their spirit is not. Their
treadmill is largely of their own crea-
ton. There is homework that is real
ly created by the worker. The science
OF housekeeping calls for the suppress
sion of work as well as for it's correct
performance, md these h-ousekeepers
who are necessarily planning work,
might better lay their plans to make
SOM of their work unnecessary.-Farm

..SWAPPIN HOsSES.''

Several weeks ago the man who j:
misrepresenting the interests of the
people of this county in the Legislature
introduced a bill prohibiting the rail
roads from engaging in coal mining and
other business that come in competition
with local dealers. The bill has been
reported favorably and ordered to en-
grossment.
This move has scared the railroad and
their lobby is trying to defeat the bill.
A letter from Jefferson City Thursday
morning says that the railroad lobbyists
are after Miller with this kind of a
proposition: Drop your railroad bill
and we will see that your extra court
bill goes through" This proposition is
having its effect and it is believed that
Miller to ave Higglnsville's court SEES
sion will sacrifice the interests Of a few
hundred coal miners and give the rail-
roads free swing to stifie competition
whenever it is to their interest to do SO.

ways aud amer Of italian War In the
Fifteenth Century.
As q rule the art of war was then
q420) rracticed with a little too much
regard for rules; it was hide and seek
behind specific bulwarks rather than
warfare. As Voltaire says, the soldiers
of the land were distributed between
such and such ~condottieri as II they
were professional harvesters. The cap
tain Of ~mercenaries upon one side tried
his best to o~utmaneuver the captain OF
mercenaries on the other side. II he sue
ceeded in getting the enemy into a cor
ner from which they could not escape, ex-
cept by a desperate engagement absurd
TO think of, he sem of a bombastic tale
of victory to his employers, and asked
for an increase of pay. And to make
sure that his success should furnish no
excuse for a cessation of hostilities and
the signing of treaties of peace (Which
means dismissal), he straightway shook
hands with the captive general and set
him and his army at liberty, so that
the campaign might be continued.
This was the light in which the con-
G0thcri viewed their responsibilities.
Nor was it difficult to live through o
career Of battles without a wound at q
time wien such counsel as the follow
ing wau esteemed sage enough to offer
to the STRIPPING soldier: "You must
know that to secure yourself against
artillery you must be either out of its
reach or behind avail or behind a ram
part. And. moreover, see that the wall
be thick enough. etc.-Macmillan's

.cHARoe HIM IN THE BILL"

An OIL Bnron's First Visit to Foreign
Lands.
1t was in the days when oil was first
struck in Pennsylvania that one lucky
possessor Of some valuable and sold it
at an excellent bargain. He had long
had q desire to visit Europe, and as his
present means enabled him to crafty
his wish, 1t was not long before he was
on one Of the ocean liners blowing his
way to the old world. He did England
and Ireland in first-class style, acquir-
ing q fund Of experience from contact
with landlords and others that was GER
tainly valuable, If only for what it cost
him to acquire it. Learning what he
did at the price among those who spoke
his W language, 1t made him in a
measure curious to see how the counter
parts of these gentry would treat him
in sunny France and Italy. The few
inquiries he made did not reassure him
that Gallo OF italian hosts were any
less frugal or exacting than those of the
British kingdom, SO that he not unnat-
urally judged from past experience that
so much Of his time as was not employ
ed In sleeping would be chiefly occupied
in opening his pocket-book and making
various payments and donations more
or less just to almost everyone he was
brought in contact with.
Whether he was right or wrong in
thus assuming that everything went, so
long rs 1t wal paid for, he could not pos
sibly decide for some time. The theory
that 1t was all right had carried him
through Paris and other of the principal
cities, after visiting which he had come
% Harseilles. Here his eyes were de-
334htcd with reading the legends on a
t1f4eE poor-looking hotel that English
efttspoken there. Entering, he found
that statement only partly verified, us
q knowledge of that speech was con-
fined TO the proprietor. Still, as he had
made out hitherto, this was nothing of
a shock, although he soon found the pet
ty extortions practiced upon him were.
The slightest servicewas treated in the
light of an item for the bill. Opening
q window seemed to be made q mem
orandum of by the officiating waiter,
and handing him a light for q cigar had
the character of O special extra.
h went on for about half n day,

RECEPTION,

h4IOh 41OHs
On Wednesday afternoon, March l, al
2 O'Clock, a number of ladies gathered In
the dainty parlors OF the Baptist parson-
age to meet Mrs. Coles mother, Mrs. Nc.
Donald, of st. Joseph.
Some Of the guests who had carefully
assisted in planning the parsonage" did
not dream how well it might be adapted
to entertaining. But the deft hands oil
Mrs. Cole have, time and again arranged
the whole house most attractiveIy and
conveniently into reception rooms.
Mrs. Cole, dressed in a tasteful white
reception gown, and assisted by her two
young friends, Misses Margaret and Ida
Hyde. who were also in evening dress,
received the guests-about twenty-five in
number. After meeting Mrs. Mcdonald
and an exchange of pleasant greetings
and lively conversation, the guests were
seated around seven small tables, ar
ranged in dining room, hall and library
The refreshments were delicious and were
served elegantly in courses.
Upon each table was found a card sug-
costing some topic OF conversation, which
helped to lend vivacity and animation to
the pleasant converse.
The guests babe a reluctant goodbye
at 8 o'clock, aud long will there remain in
their memories the recollection OF this
very delightful afternoon.

HIS MIND

How an Old Man Delivered to His Daugh-
ter a Box OF CIothespins.
There was an old man on our train
on the Rochester and Pitts burgh one
day who made anxious inquiries as to
whether the train stopped at a place
known as Ketner, al which was a saw
mill and a side-track. He was told it
did not.
"'Well, what am 1 goin' to do?' he in
quired SO plaintively that every one
was interested in him in u minute.
"'Did you want to get off there?' they
inquired of him.
".No, but you see I bought a box of
clothespins down to Ridgway that l
wanted to leave off there for my darter.
She's got five or six little n and it
takes u power of pins to fasten all their
buds onto the line
"'Why, You can drop them off the
rear PLATFORM said some one, and the
conductor and brakeman were asked
about it and said they would let him
know when the train neared Ketner.
They did SO. and the old gentleman car
ried the box through from the smoker
to the e coach. Four or five fellows
followed to see the result of the
experiment. The old man steadied him
self by the ratings and got down on
the lower step.
LET her go!" shouted the conductor,
just as we dashed past a shanty where
the old mans daughter evidently lived.
A firm look came upon the old mans
face, and he bent forward till the con-
ductor, fearful that he would lose his
hold, caught him by the coat-tails.
With a jerk that would have done credit
to a baseball-pitcher he sent the box
from his hand, and as it scared towards
the ground the firm look on his mouth
broke out into q wide grin. But it died
away into a look of astonishment, for
the box struck the end of the log, and q
couple of gross of clothespins shot into
the air, as though fred out of a gun,
and scattered like shot from the muzzle
of a bell-pointed blunderbuss.
For u moment the old man was a
picture of perplexity, but when he
looked back up the track and saw his
'darter' and grandchildren had wit
messed the mishap and were hurrying
out with the evident intention of pick
ing up the scattered merchandise, he
turned and entered the car, and glanc-
ing with an amused expression on the
laughing passengers. he said, as he
took his seat: Darn them pins, Pm
glad they're deliveredr"-Utica OBJ

TOMMY'S BANK.

It's Youthful Cashier Was Fully Posted
on Modern Wall Street Methods.
The old gentleman had been trying
to instill into his son some idea of bust
ness thrift, and to help the lessons
along had brought home n toy bank.
Now, Tommy" he said, "I1l be
president of this bank and you'll be
cashier. Your mother and sisters will
be stockholders. Christmas We'll open
it and declare a dividend. Well put
something in it every day."
The old gentleman put in a dime,
Tommy and his sisters a nickel each,
and his mother u dime.
We'll let what put in represent the
interest on the other deposits" went on
the old gentleman. You keep track OF
what the others put in, and when we
open the bank the interest will be di-
vided proportionately among the de-
positors.
Tommy said he thought he under
stood and put down in a book what
each n had deposited.
For a couple of weeks all went
smoothly. Every morning after break
fast each member of the family was
called upon for something to deposit in
the bank. But one evening the old
gentleman had to go down town and
discovered he had no street car fare
nothing less than a $40 billiard he re-
called the change in the bank. He alb
stracted a dime and went his way.
The next morning, when deposits
were called for, Tommy announced that
the bank was busted and had closed its
doors.
"Why, Tommy, what do you mean?'
asked the old gentleman.
The president has been monkeying
with the finances" said Tommy, land
there's a shortage"
But that was only a temporary
loan," explained the old gentleman,
coloring up a little.
"Oh, yes, that's what they always
say" said Tommy. That's the usual
custom"
"But it will be repaid at once"
mo use," said Tommy, shortly.
Why not2"
Huh! l guess you don't know any
thing about banks" exclaimed Tommy.
when the president gets to monkey
ing with the funds the cashier CUTS the
bank while he has a chance. Only a
fool cashier is going to let the presi.
dent get ahead of him."
Tommy" said the old gentleman
severely, as he looked in the direction
of the woodshed, "do you know what
happens to the cashier if he is caught?"
yep" replied Tommy, promptly.
HE generally compromises SO as to
put the bank on its feet again. Pm
willing to pay all the depositors in full
without interest. Seeing as the presi-
dent put up the interest in this case,
1 guess he ought to lose it, specially
as I've only got fifteen cents of it
left"
1t was compromised on that basis,
and the old gentleman has reached the
conclusion that Tommy is destined to
be a Wall street broker. Detroit Free

The Beauty Standard,


The standard of female loveliness varies
greatly in different countries and with
individual tastes. Some prefer the plump
and buxom type; some admire the slender
and sylph-like, and some the tall and
queenly maiden. But among all people
OF the Caucasian race, one point Of beauty
is always admired-a pure, clear and spot
less complexion-whether the female be
of the blonde, brunette or hazel-eyed
type. This first great requisite Of lowell
ness can be assured only by u pure state
of the blood, active liver, good appetite
and digestion, all which are secured by
the use OF DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t is guaranteed to accom-
plish all that is claimed for it, or money
refunded. If you would have a clear,
lovely complexion, free from eruptions,
moth patches, spots and blemishes, use the
