KEEP GIRLS AT WORK.
A Remedy That Is Suggested for Fits
Depression.


Depression.
Many a mother is distressed almost
beyond endurance by what she calls
fits Of depression" in her daughter,
and because she knows no remedy for
it, says the Washington Star She i'm
mediately ruSheS off and buys her q
new gown, or a hat or a coat, plans a
trip for her or party, or most any
thing else that seems to promise dis
traction, and that will get her mind
away from herself 1t is a great deal
like giving a child who is crying from
sheer irritation caused from indiges-
ton lot of candy to distract its at
tention. 1t will forget about it for a
time, and then it will be croSser than
ever, because you have only fed the
disease an opiate. When the effect has
passed the disease will eat deeper than
ever.
The proper thing to do for girl who
suffers from fits of depression is to
give her something to live for. In nine
cases out Of ten the cause of depres-
sion Is lack of regular occupati ton
and corresponding interest in life. 1t
Is unfortunate that so many girls are
not obliged to do anything. 1t Is hard
to get interested in work that one feels
Is not absolutely necessary for one to
perform unless the object appeals to
some need of ones nature. and then
we do it for love, and not for emolu-
ment or reward. Girls didn't have fits
of depression before it became lower
ing to help with the housework. You
will find in the home where the girls
take turns at doing the chamber work,
washing the dishes, helping with the
mending. sewing, darning and sweep
in 70 lf,vI t.,v, thr - hy1r.1 dan
there are no fits of angry tears, no de
pressed spells. There is no time, and
less inclinat ton.
The household duties, though light.
keep the system active. the blood STIR
red up and the liver in good working
order, and when the liver works prop
erly the microbes of depression flee.
To insure a girls happiness, never
permit her from the time she can walk
to be an instant idle. except when it
is Necessary for her to sleep. What
ever she does-if it is building block
houses, making a fruck for her doll.
or gown for herself-make her do it
well. Teach her that life is made up
of moments filled with perfectly ac-
complished work and that the moment
then passing is the only one that is
surely hers. No man, no woman, will
make a success of life who has no oh
ject in living. II girls object is TO
marry. then let her make herself pro-
ficient in household lore. If she takes
to sewing, give her every chance to per-
feet herself in that. Encourage her to
have a hobby; people with hobbies
never have depressed spells They Of
ten cause them in others, but even
hobby well ridden is preferable to the
sickly sentimentality of the ambition
less girl whose mother. through over
weening love, has been her ruin.

THE BICYCLE IN EUROPE.
Tho Craze Has Spread Like Wildnrs All



Tho Craze Has Spread Like wndnrs All
Over France.
1t is quite natural that France, and
especially Paris, with their splendid
roads, should be favorite habitat of
the bicyclist. Yet, the bicycle has had
some enemies. The late President
Oarnot, who was not remarkable for
the elasticity of his muscles, Is said
to have despised it. On the contrary,
the King of Belgium admires the ma
chine, and in the race, Paris Brussels,
offered a gold watch to the victor. The
little King of Spain rides little bicy-
Gle made for him in France. Several
of the Paris journalists are excellent
cyclisnL
The hygienic value of the cycle as a
means of exercise has been discussed
by the Paris Academy of Medicine, a
celebrated physician declaring that it
was frequent cause Of heart disease,
owing to the prolonged effort and to
the fear, of being run ever or Of run
ming over somebody. Other doctors
who are known to have a weakness
for the machine, combatted the theory,
affirming that the pastime was e1-
remely healthy exercised with reas-
on. But when a practice becomes q
mania it is exceedingly difficult to
keep within reasonable bounds.
The bicycle and its devotees furnish
abundant matter to the caricaturist,
who does not fail to use it literally,
and the advertisements Of rival max
ers present features that are really
amusing. AS to the champions of diff
ferent nationalities, it is hard to tell
which have the best record, 50 many
considerations enter into the question.
The American, Zimmerman, met no
equal for a short distance, though he
was beaten by a tandem at Bordeaux.
