THE GIRL OF THIRTEEN.
Unless she Has Good Care sho VIII Make
a Forlorn Woman.

UnIenh Sho Hrs toOd Cnro sho VIII mako
n Forlorn Woman.
The girl of thirteen is the future
woman and very important parcel Of
humanity, says the New York Sunday
Advertiser. She Is a child and just
growing into womanhood, and this
transition which, to grown-ups, means
only sudden shooting up beyond all
bounds and tendency to stopped
shoulders, is much more to the girl who
leaves childhood behind and is not yet
n young lady. Fast growing is n very
great drain on any childs strength,
and as at thirteen she usually has con-
siderable work nt school, both mind
and body are called upon to do double
work. That is why she needs care.
Good food, rest and congenial COM
pany are some of the things which are
necessary for the girl of thirteen. She
should not have too much excitement,
or books to read which tax her
thoughts too much, as her mind de-
velops only too quickly at this age, and
everyday life and lessons are enough
to occupy her. She should go to bed
early and sleep ten hours. For break
fast she should eat strengthening,
bone-mal<ing food, oatmeal, oranges,
brown bread, eggs and milk. For her
midday meal she should have some-
thing more sustaining than a bread
and butter lunch, if she is to grows up
into a strong woman. Hot soup and a
chop and baked potato every day
for three months will make her stand
up straighter than braces will.
She should have walk in the open
air every day; If she does not get this
she will grow nervous and sleepless,
have fantastic notions about an early
grave and running away from home,
or, worse still, grow sentimental and
write morbid little verses and weep
over the poor. These are all true
symptoms of the girl of thirteen. She
begins to think she is very old as soon
as she gets into her teens, and the re-
sponsibilities affect her sensitive new
mind to an appalling degree-if she is
given the time to think of them.

how it happened, according to the
Youths Companion:

how it happened, according to the
Youths Companions:
In 1859 was in southwestern Kansas
with surveying party. 1 had been
sent back to our supply station, some
thirty miles distant, and was returning
with two well-laden pack mules and a
young half-breed Indian boy, when a
band OF rowing Apaches swooped down
upon me.
There were a dozen in the party, but
knowing that surrender meant certain
death l prepared to make such defense
as l could. Right in front of me were
two large cottonwood trees.
had fine rifle and large fowling-
piece, and put charge of buckshot
in each barrel of the fowling- g-piece, and
reserved it for the rush. The bucks,
well mounted and armed, began cir
cling around me, shielding themselves
behind their horses and firing rapidly.
My first and second shots were for
tunate, and the survivors retired to q
safe distance and held powwow. 1
felt sure that they would make rush,
and that if they did they would get me.
Something must BE done.
In the packs were dozen punches
of firecrackers, intended for our modest
Fourth of July celebration. cut the
fuses short, and lit fire with twigs
and dry grass.
The rush came. 1 led with my rifle
and threw the crackers into the fire.
Then fired both barrels of buckshot
into the Apaches and the crackers set
up roar like a platoon of musketry.
The Indians were astounded, and,
dividing to right and left. went by me
like the wind.

Some Tasteful New Doilies.

Very pretty doilies are made of fine
Japanese linen edged with rope stitch.
Cut the shape of different leaves, the
edge may be in green wash silk. Or
they may be cut to simulate a rose and
the edge worked in pink to form petals.
Or decorate with border to represent
an encircling ribbon tied with ends. Or
they may be made of the sheerest linen
and decorated with indelible ink and q
pen to form any sort of quaint design.

bleached linen, the back is cut SO inches
deep and 10 inches wide; the front is
25 inches deep, and 90 inches wide. The
front is arranged in two box plaits,
which form the pockets, the top of each
of which is embroidered with stripe in
crewels or flax thread; a shorter stripe
is worked between the pockets. This
edges are sewn together, and a border
of leaves is worked entirely round. The
embroidery will look best worked with
one color or shades of one color. A
rosette of ribbon, with pointed strap
between them, is placed at each of the
upper corners, and if the case is to be
hung up loop should be sewn under
each of the rosettes by which to sus-
pend it from hooks on the wall. When
used for travelling the case is rolled up
and tied round with ribbon, fastened
in bow.-St. Louis Republic.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
VACATION TIME.

Tho grammars and the spoilers,
Tho pencils and tho slates,
The books that hold the fractions
And the books that tell tho dates,
Tho crnyons and tho blnckboards
And tho maps upon the wall,
Must all be glad together,
For they won't be used till fall
They've had TO work like beavers
To help tho children learn;
And II they want littlo rest,
1t surely is their turn.
They shut their leaves with pleasure,
The doar old lesson books,
And tho crayons and the blnckboards
Put on delighted looks.
So, children, just remember,
When you are gone away,
Your poor old states and pencils
Arc keeping holiday.
Tho grammars and the spoilers
Are MS proud MS proud can be
When the boys forsake the school room,
And the teacher turns the key.

Strained eyes Mako yrln,tles.

If more women realized that strain
ing the eyes produces wrinkles, more
would exercise proper care of these
valuable members. Reading by dim
or failing light, coming suddenly from
a dark room to light one, or vice versa,
overworking the eyes in any way, and

Now, for the most part, they think of

1T Was uia Own Cow.

A magistrate who prided himself on his
sense of justice was called to estimate
the damages which a COW had done in
garden. He viewed the premises and
gave liberal damages, whereupon he
was introduced to the marauding cow,
which turned out to be his own, where

tillate new idea if her brains were
properly rubbed. Her white crepon
dinner gown, touched up with cool,
green velvet and Valenciennes lace,
was faultless, and harmonized with the
youthful face under its pompadour
frame of prematurely white hair. She
had been congratulated on the over
whelming success of her last charity
project, and not a care disturbed her
serenity. Everybody knows that this
woman, with her unassailable position
due to birth, wealth and natural lead
ership, can afford to point a new way
even if hundred other women have
not discovered the possibility of leaving
the old one.

A couple of elderly dinner guests who
had returned to the drawing-room in
time to catch the question looked
amused, and the satirical one of the pair
smiled an appropriate smile as she said:
"Ah! no doubt the bicycle will be
very popular in that case"
The hostess laughed.
"That expresses it, and, of course,
you will try wheel at onoe. 1t seems
ridiculous to think of the bicycle hav-
