Il WOMAN'S ADVANTAGE

Woman, in spite of her disfran-
chisement, has at least one great ad
vantage over man. She can make a
home-a real homelike hOme-for her
self alone and unaided, as no man
can do. A man may be ever so rich
and ever so great a connoisseur in
household furnishing and brio brac,
he may possess a mansion and enter
tain widely, but when it comes to
home any plain little woman who
doesn't board can eclipse him. In
youth the life of the young man may
seem SO independent and care free
that the young woman envies him his
escape from household cares and wor
ries, but later on the balance changes,
and the brother, if he remain bach
elor, has reason to envy his sister,
whether she marries or not, as regards
her power to create home. 1t is un-
doubtedly, harder for women to make
or earn money than for men, but after
the money is acquired she can make
it go at least twice as far in the main
tenance Of a home, and a woman with
a comfortable income can give hab-
itation more grace and beauty and
comfort and general LONELINESS than
man with a fortune.

In the County Tyrone Ireland, there
is a district of sixty one square miles
inhabited by nearly ton thousand peo-
pie, having three great roads commu-
nicating with market towns, in which
there are no saloons, entirely owing
to the self action of the inhabitants.
The result has been that there is not a
policeman in the district, the poor
rates are one-half what they were
before, and the police magistrates
disorder.

Charcoal is one of the most remark
able articles in common use, and pos
sesses many qualities not generally
understood by the laity. AS an alb
sorbent of bad odors it has no equal.
Placed around articles of food, it pre-
vents decay and preserves them aitime
in all their freshness. In fine powder
it is one of the most perfect dressings
for malignant wounds and those where
proud flesh is present. AS a cure for
headache it is invaluable, teaspoon
full in half a glass of water often af-
fording immediate relief. The power
of charcoal to absorb gases is not ap-
preciated. 1t will take up and hold
thirty volumes of ammonia, forty of
nitrous oxide, sixty five of sulphurous
acid, and eighty-five of hydrochloric
acid. Some of these gases may be
withdrawn and used at will. The
storage value of charcoal, while it is
just becoming known to practical
workers, has already opened many
avenues of future usefulness. = eaO

For a genuine Welsh rarebit, take a
pound of Stat and crumbly" cheese,
cut it in bits and put it in a shallow
saucepan at the back part of the stove.
Add tablespoonful of butter and a
gill of rich milk, and set the saucepan
in pan of boiling water and stir the
cheese gradually until it melts, and
smooth, thick mixture is formed.
Have ready two slices of bread, from
which the crusts have been trimmed
and which have been toasted a deli
cate brown. For this purpose the
toast should be soft, not crisp. Moist
enthe toast with little boiled milk,
then spread the mixture thickly over
it. If you wish a golden buck you
must add poached egg on top of
each slice of toast.
The greatest mistake which anne
teurs make is to serve this prepare
ton of cheese on crisp hard toast,
when it loses all it's delicacy. The
bread must be soft and the cheese
must be rich and mellow, and, above
all it must be served very hot.
Another simple dish which is very
appetizing to serve on the supper ia
BILE, buttered toast and cheese. For
this dish the toast must be cut rather
thin and toasted lightly over a quick
fire. Butter each slice of bread as it
comes from the toaster, and cover it
with grated cheese to about the thick
ness of the slice. Keep the toast near
the fire in a covered dish till it ready
for the table.

The one thing which persons whose
clothes take fire seem to forget is
that to run or stand up is fatal. Call
for help, but first lie down fiat, roll on
the blazing portion if you can get it
under you, either by lying face down
ward or on your back. The costliest
blanket or rug in the house is only too
cheap for people to bring and throw
over you, one wrapping it closely
about the neck, and let another fetch
a pail of water. 1t is much easier to
get near a person on fire who lies fat
on the floor. Cover the upper part of
the body first, wrapping the rug,
blanket or piece of carpet closely
around the throat, or, if the hair also
caught, throw water and a rug on
that. Don't delay in covering the
lower limbs we'll with carpet, or a
heavy overcoat. Saturate all as soon
as possible. The assurance that you
need not be sacrificed if you can roll
yourself towards rug or blanket will
help you to self possession.

Indigestion vomited a lizard the

LincoIn's GETTYSBURG Speech.

In a communication to the New York
Sun, Andrew c. Wheeler describes the i'm
preston made upon him by the delivery
of Lincoln s Gettysburg speech, to which
he was listener He says:
stood close by and heard that speech
delivered. 1t came upon us after the
ponderous and elaborate rhetoric of Ed
ward Everett, like blaze of real fire after
a matchless picture of fire. 1t sprang, like
the strophes of old, out of chastened
heart. almost broken with the weight OF
conquest, but still dauntless in its Ameri
can faith; and the man who spoke the
words was, for the moment, TRANSPORTED
for us, and his furrowed face and gaunt
form took on the light that never was OF
land or sea, so that he became the archetypt
of the people themselves, uttering, better
than he knew, the great prayer of that
finer and better humanity that our faith
ers and we believed was to come with
liberty and equality out of storm and
stress and an mistaken confidence in
man.
But don't think any of us then knew
how masterful is the speech of the hui
man heart when it comes through the
furnace to these great occasions, and plants
its sad sincerity by the side of mere schol-
arship and the grooved thunder of rhet-
ORIG.
We had to live on for quarter of a
century and see that brief speech burning
with unquenchable flame in our school
books, and standing out with modest
majesty on our page of recorded history, to
comprehend how God can touch with a
living coal the lips of a railsplitter, just
as He touched the lips of a tentmaker of
Tarsus and lifted the untutored heart of
the shoemaker, Bunyan, into communion
with the immortals. Turn it every way
you can, the Gettysburg speech stands
unique as a brief, literary, and patriotic
composition. 1t is the noblest condensa-
ton into the fittest words of all emotions,
aspirations, and sentiments that millions
of mute people wanted at that moment to
utter
| We have seen many accounts of the oc-
casion which called forth this mastery
address, the manner in which it was pre-
pared and the effect of it's delivery; but
none which gives in so few and so elo-
quent words, so clear glimpse of the
great spirit that animated it. The Ameri-
Abraham Lincoln. He was fine type OF
one of the "plain people" whose heart
was always in sympathetic touch with his
fellow country.

Rev. Mary Baker Eddy is the founder
and recognized head of the Christian
Science Church, which denomination has
just erected a magnificent structure in
Boston, costing over $500, 900. The Boston
church was organized by Mrs. Eddy, and
the first meeting held on April 10. 1879.
Mrs. Eddy was born in Concord, n. H.,
in 1925. She married Col. Grover at an
early age, but he lived only one year. In
1866 she met with severe accident and her
case was pronounced hopeless by the ply
sicians One Sunday morning when her
death was hourly expected, she suddenly
became aware of angelic presence and
ministration, requested those with her to
withdraw, but soon, to their bewilderment,
she walked into the adjoining room.
Her friends thought she had died and
that they saw her apparition. Since that
time she has been believer in the prin-
ciple of divine healing, which she has
preached for 10 years. In 1887 she mar
ried DR.. Asa Gilbert Eddy.

dropped dead in the street Of the same
place, and before the carcass was hauled
off, enough money was raised to buy him
another. A poor woman lost her COW,
and before the body was cold she received
money enough to buy two cows. This Is

borne most creditable comparison with
