economy Is also of immense Importance in

Afghan Making.

Bits of worstcd always accumulate in a
family where much fancy work is carried
on. 1t is good thing for some member
OF it to have always an afghan in course
of construction, in which these odds and
ends can go. The making is a clear plea
sure, it is SO simple and satisfactory, and
there are several patterns that call for
many shades of yarn. An afghan is in
constant request--not as once for the car
riage, but to keep at hand when ono lies
down, to make light covering to throw
over one. When ali the materials were
bought outright, it made about as expen-
sive piece of work US could be engaged
upon. But by adopting this chit or miss"
plan it is quickly and cheaply obtained.

they were sufficient. il planted. to cover

which exhibited surplus OF revenue over
expenditures Of $S72 245.71. But now, in
view OF the actual scsipts and expenditures
during that pars Of the current fiscal year

erai estimated that At its close instead Of a
surplus there will be . deficiency of nearly
$s.00oOOO. This postofflcs deicisncy would

Tho secretary of war reports that the
strength OF the army Sept. 80 last was
PITTS enlisted mon and ,144 officers. The
total expenses Of this department. for the
year ending June 80, 1898. amounted to
$52,960. .074.s9. OF this sum. SIS. 296 876. .46

year, 112, 597 officers and enlisted men. Tho
officers of the army detailed for the in
spection and instruction Of this reserve of
cur military force report that increased in
teress and marked pr ogress ara apparent in
the discipline and efficiency of the organi-
cation.
The only active military duty required Of
the army has been In the department of
Texas, where violations OF the neutrality
laws Of the United States and Mexico were
promptly and efficiently dealt with by the
troops.
The adoption of battalion formations
for infantry regiments. the strengthening
Of the artillery force, the abandonment of
smaller posts and the massipg of the troops
at important and accessible stations, all
promise to promote tho usefulness OF the
army.
The repeal of the law forbidding the re-
enlistment Of men after ten years OF SER
vice is commended.

gun to attain completed results In the COM

Why American Girls Hate Housewo

The great reason why housework is re-
pugnant to self-respecting Americans is
not so much on account of the work
itself, for other kinds of labor are hard
and monotonous, but on account of the
conditions under which it is performed.
The single domestic lacks society: she is
isolated from the family life and she can
never call any time her own. Girls will
work all day amid the steam of laundry,
the fumes of factory, the bad air of a
sewing-room, because there they have
companionship, their hours are defined,
and they are their own mistresses when
the days work is done. 1t is impossible
TO have these conditions in domestic serv-
ice except In very wealthy families, and
there the workers must be branded as
servants. AS there is every probability
than lower, and as the girls will not come
to the houses, the houses must 90 to the
