Do Men Get on Their Knees?

Did you ever know man to get on
his knees in proposing marriage? Can
you imagine mana man, we mean
making such an abject fool Of him
self?
If he is worthy Of the girl, he brings
as much TO the proposed union as She
perhaps more Why, then, should he
humiliate himself? His proposition can
not be other than flattering to her. It is
a serious matter and should be treated
seriously. She will respect dignity, re-
spect self respect.
On the other hand, if a man is un-
worthy Of the union he seeks, no amount
of pleading and cringing can possibly
glorify him in the girls eyes. 1t cannot
kindle admiration for him, cannot bring
him up to her level.
Isn't it about time to eliminate from
our books and from our conversation
this idea Of the lover getting ON his
knees?-Munsey's

Curlous Customs In .ynnlnnd.

japanese folks have six or eight pocls-
cts cunningly inserted in the cuffs of
their wide sleeves. These pockets are
always filled with curious miscellany
peculiar to the droll little people. As
common as twine in Young Americas
pocket is the prayer amulet written ON
delicate sheets Of rice paper and COM
posed by the BONES. In accordance with
the abiding and funny faith Of the jap
anese women these prayers are swal-
lowed, paper and all, like pill, in all
cases of mental and physical distress.
Another essential never missing is
number Of small squares Of silky paper,
which are put to the most unexpected
purpose-to hold the stem Of lotus or
lily, to dry teacup, wipe away tear
or blow the absurd little nose Of the doll
like little woman. The very smartest
people of Japan use this style of hand
kerchief for practical purposes. After
using, ball is made Of the paper, and
it is thrown in the street with disgust.

A suggestion Of new source Of In
come from the india rubber tree is con-
tained in pamphlet by Senior da
Cunha, recently published by the state
government of Para. According to this
author, It is probable that before many
years elapse an important trade will be
developed in the seeds of the rubber
tree, which are very abundant and yield
an important quantity of oil, which is
said to compare favorably with linseed
oil Up to the present time this oil has
been extracted only in small quantities,
but with the more systematic regulation
of the rubber industry which the author
predicts it is expected that the rubber
tree seed will be included among the
valuable resources Of the country. II it
is indeed true that such oil can be made
from the seeds Of the rubber tree, and
one that is similar to linseed oil, it may
be that thence will be produced the ideal
rubber substitute. 1t is we'll known
fact that the nearest approaches to u
substitute for india rubber have been
made from linseed and kindred oils,
and perhaps the oil of the rubber seeds
will be exactly what the trade has so long
been looking for.-Rubber World

Food is force AS rule, few people
know how to eat. They fail to realize
that the quality Of all mental action is
determined by the quality Of food. Lack
of energy and buoyancy of spirit is Of
ten as fatal to good work as is illness
itself, and there is no question but that
hygienic cooking produces directly the
one or the other. There is such thing
as "a cooking menu"-the scientific
solving Of the problem. The universal
temperance reform will begin when
good cooking becomes the rule rather
than the exception in every household.
The extra elaboration of pastry should
give way to excellence in the prepara-
tion Of simple foods, of steak perfectly
broiled, good bread, a realization of the
value of fruit, and a tea and coffee made
in way that retains their flavor and
stimulus With hygienic food, reason
ably early hours Of sleep and an init
mate acquaintance with fresh air, a
clearness and vigor of mind can be
constantly held that will act on affairs
with successful energy. y.-Journal Of

We Can't Do Without the Merchants.

One might as we'll talk about doing
without schools, or husbands might as
well talk about doing without their
wives as to talk about doing without the
merchants. There would be just as
much nonsense in doing without one as
the other. To hear some people talk
one would suppose that merchants were
the worst set of individuals to be found
anywhere. "They never have what you
want" we hear one woman say: "They
ask too much for their goods another
remarks, and, like the printer they are
continually at fault-in some peoples
eyes. But, truthfully, now, isn't it the
fault often with the people? Some send
to the city for certain lines of goods, las
true as some merchants send out of town
for their printing! and the merchants at
home not finding ready sale for that
line-because so many buy in the cities
can't afford to keep stocked up" with
such goods just for the people to look
at, and then when the person who ''can't
get what she wants AZ home" rushes in
to the home store and wants piece of
goods to match her city purchase and
doesn't get it, then somebody is mad
and declares to her friends that she can
"never,' and she emphasizes the word,
get what she wants at the home stores"
If such people would patronize home
trade our merchants would then be able
to keep in stock about everything a
person would want. II we hadn't mer-
chants at all we would have nice time
getting goods delivered just as we should
want them. In regard to the matter of
prices many people do not know how to
do shopping. That in itself is matter
that often determines the economy or
the extravaganza of the buyer We
don't mean that shopping is standing
around for hours trying to get a ten
cent article for nine cents. This mat
ter of shopping should be so culti-
waited that it will become an art
Indeed, it should be recognized as part
of girls education to shop wisely and
we'll. Even the most careful mothers
give this all-important matter but little
thought. Music, art and the languages
are added to a substantial education
with perhaps a few lessons in cookery
thrown in; but where is the teacher or
the parent to be found who thinks it
necessary to so train girl in the art Of
shopping that she will be brought to
consider thrifty management not bore
but a most womanly accomplishment
that, once acquired, will bring with il
delightful feeling of self-reliance.
Another matter that will help one in
shopping successfully is in keeping post
cd .on the advertisements. The up-to-
date advertisement is an educator and
careful reading Of them every week will
often save woman time and money and
tiresome walking around from store to
store to find what she wants. Read the
ads and they will help you.-Punxsu-

10 Help the Churches.

The Pittsburg Times has now turned
its attention to practical effort to help
the churches. 1t offers 10 pay % per
cent. of all 'cash in advance" subscrip-
tions for four months $1.00) or longer,
received by it between now and April |,
1896, to such churches as the remitters
may indicate. In addition to this liber-
al commission, it offers twenty-three
cash contributions, ranging from 81 200
down to S25, and aggregating $500, to
the twenty-three congregations securing
the largest number of subscriptions un-
der the terms OF its offer. This is a
unique plan for introducing the Times
into more families than it is now GO
ing to, and one which is bound to benefit
churches to the amount of the commits
sions, to say nothing of tho munificent
offer of $500 in cash contributions.
Full details of the plan may be seen in
the Times any day. Already large
number of churches have availed them.

1t is not disgraceGul to make mis-
take. Those who never make mistakes
never do any thing worth mentioning.
The attitude of men with reference to
their mistakes is sometimes disgraceful.
One who cannot see his own errors,
even when they are pointed out, will
not make much improvement. Until
we discover and deplore our defects, we
will not take pains to remedy them.
Frankness in confessing faults is great
grace. When one becomes so perfect
in his own estimation that he has no
occasion to confess his faults to his
neighbor, he is well-nigh beyond the
reach of hope.

A little personal pique, a bit of
wounded vanity, "A sudden flame of an
ger often undoes the most substantial
and faithful work, and nullifies the most
intelligent and wise action. 1t is one of
the painful things in experience that
effort is often defeated by these small,
purely personal, and often momentary
feelings, which are generally unintelli-
gent and unwise. Life would be freed
from some OF its most painful features il
men always acted to each other on a
basis of real justice and intelligence,
and left their small personal feelings
and prejudices out of sight. A mans
work ought to be judged by itself and for
itself alone, and the strength of a mans
position ought to rest solely upon what
he is able to do. And yet most OF us
are constantly neutralizing the best
work OF others because it is not done in
our way, and are constantly failing to
do Justice to others because of some
small personal prejudice against them.
The really strong, clear-sighted man is
the man who is able to put himself out
OF the question, and to judge others by
what they really are and do, not by
their relations to him.

"a mans life consisteth not in the
abundance of the things which he pos
sesseth." One may possess large
wealth, high social position, and super
ior intellectual talents and attainments,
and yet live a low, narrow, mean, base
life. Another may be destitute of
wealth and position and intellectual
culture and yet by pure and noble
thoughts, righteous and holy impulses
and principles, benevolent and generous
actions, he may live broad, deep,
grand and glorious life.

The following words Of wisdom we
clip from an article on the public
school, printed in the Altoona Tribune:
parents owe important duties to the
public schools. One of the most i'm
.portant is to see that the children are
sent to school as early in the term as
possible and regularly. There is moth
ing which so initiates against the
child's success as irregular attendance.
Even one day week counts up con-
siderable during the term and the child
feels it sensibly. 1t is cruelty unjust to
send q child only about half the time
and then criticize the teacher because
SO little progress is made. The wonder
Is that there is any advance at all.
Another important parental duty is to
stand by the teacher in every contro-
versy in which he and the pupils may
become involved. There may be times
when the parent believes. gross injustice
has been done his child, but however
Indignant he may be, or whatever hi
may say to the teacher in private con
versation concerning the matter, due
regard for the welfare Of the child re
quires that implicit obedience to all thu
commands Of the teacher be insisted
upon from him. Many q boy has beel
ruined by the injudicious partisanshil
OF his father or mother. IL Is thin
that should be guarded against.

Materlals in Tantalizing Variety for
Summer Toilets,


Very soft and lovely are new materials
introduced for summer toilets. Washing
fabrics printed muslins and cambrics,
new mohairs and crepons, are in very
numerous and very tantalizing varieties.
There are also a number of extremely
pretty fancy wool and silk materials, in
very small patterns, and numbers of
mixed fancy woolens for robes-de-fatigue
and taGlor costumes.
Let us first describe the latter. We
see very pretty samples of toile-delaine

green, BLUSH gray and dust color.
The same tissue in chined streaks Is
formed of two darker threads twisted to-
gether, alternating with one lighter and
one darker thread twisted together; this
looks particularly nice in blush gray and
white, beige and white, and navy blue and
silver gray.

pear in grain-de-poudre. speckled, and
carrele dminutively checked material.
In crepons we notice tuyaute crepon,
which has the appearance Of having been
quilled as finely as the frillings on the
caps Of our Breton peasant girls. The
new shades are eucalyptus green, garnet
red. cornhower. blue, golden bronze,
moonlight blue. cocoanut. lavender, ser
pent green, raisin. and slase color.
Sponge crepon. in irregular raised pat>
terms, is new, but less pretty. and cou-
lisse crepon seems as though gathered
by invisible threads.
Rather sim. but more silky looking,
ere the new nsohairs. Some are Waived,
some striped, others finely gauffered like

of handsome cream white guipure.
Stylish collars and various handsome
parures are arranged to wear with diff

all over with Jet beads, from which
strings of jet beads of various sizes,
come down so as to cover the whole
