You'd the home that she may Worthily
do, and though she is ordinarily said
to have no head for figures, save that
which her own head surmounts, the
treasury department at Washington
long since found that women are by
far more expert and accurate counters
of money than men.
A woman's head is imprinted upon
all our coin, and a woman may bear
her head on erect shoulders wherever
such coin may be honestly earned.
She wants fewer sonnets to her tress-
es and more tasks to her hands, even
though she may have an adequate
exchequer to obviate her recourse to
the commoner tolls. The tens of
thousands of mems letters that from
American women's finger tips go dali
ly forth in typewriter messages over
the land symbolic the communicable
power of women in re- enforcement of
a progress of which man long con-
ceiyed himself to be the sole factor.
There is scarcely a project or an es-
tablished institution of charity which
is not indebted to the solicitous activ
ity of momen. Walls have risen, wards
have been furnished, gentle admins

replenish asylum treasures have been
devised and consummated bywomen.

MRS. LYMANABBOTT ONNAGGING.

A we'll known physician, a student
of health as well as disease, has call
ed out indignant denials by printing
his opinion that women do nag. He
has done it in the most considerate
way reminding one of the person who
in calling another a liar, said he did
not mean it opprobriously, but mere
ly stated it as a fact. And the denials
are made in a fashion quite too femi-
nine. ''It isn't so, and besides there
is good excuse for it," our defenders
say. Nervous irritability, a narrow
ing and belittling sphere, the constant
presence of obnoxious and vexatiOus
persons = what wonder that human
nature exhibits unlovely traits under
these provocations?
It will do US no harm to look this
accusation fairly in the face and see
whether it be a familiar OF ours with
new and ugly name. There is no die
tionary at hand, and I can not verify
my definition, but I suppose that what
is meant by the word E'nagging" is a
constant REPETITION Of petty reproof or
command. It is a habit which every
conscientious housekeeper and every
thoughtful mother is very much in
danger of weaving for herfelf, and for
fear Of which many woman 'lets
things co., in the injury Of her home
and her children. How often the tired
mother has''picked up'' after husband
and children or done the forgotten err
rand rather than seem to be mag
ging."

/ children. In many cases it is truly

BEAUTY HINTS.

LIE Masque du Marie was famous
beauty recipe in the days Of La Refine
MargOt of France, and is said to re-
store faded complexion to its prls-
tine freshness. To make it, beat the
white of one egg to a cream with a
little rose water, add one gramme of
alum and one of sweet almond oil and
beat together until it becomes the
consistency of soft paste. This paste
is spread upon mask of thick I'M
bleached muslin which is fastened be-
hind the head with tapes and left on
all night. In the morning the face is
washed with a velvet sponge, as the
small soft sponges are called dipped
in tepid water. Afterwards the face
must be plunged in basin of ice cold
water and briskly rubbed with a soft
towel. Those who have tried it de-
clare that it removes the care marks
of time and restores the tone and col
Or of the skin.
Coal oil products seem a panacea
for almost any i'll; the latest fashion
able headache medicine such as Phen-
tacine and many other sedatives, are
made from coal oil. Vaseline and it's
many substitutes are preparations
made from crude oil, as are also most
of the magic oils and patent pain kill
ers in the market. Kerosene is the
latest remedy for dandruff, but, of
course, it must be deodorized. 1t is
valuable as hair grower, which fact
makes vaseine undesirable for face
cosmetic, as it is apt to produce mir
suite growth.
A quart of milk in which the juice Of
three mandarin oranges has been
squeezed is said to be refreshing To-
ton for the complexion.
Eating quantities of oranges is an
excellent remedy for clearing mud
dy skin; before breakfast is the best
time, and one may indulge in as many
as is agreeable.
For cleansing the hair nothing is
better than the yelk of a well-beaten
egg rubbed into the roots and left on
until almost dry; then wash off with
warm water in which little ammonia
has been dissolved. Continual wash
ing destroys the hair, and French wo-
men who do not care to wash the
head, powder the hair profusely with
scented powder and then brush thor
oughly or use a fine tooth comb, which
removes the dust and powder at the
same time.

The people of Servia are forever
fasting. The most severe fast is that
of Lent, which lasts seven whole
weeks. Then, on the 30th of June, is
the fast of St. Peter, which lasts two
weeks and is observed by some per-
sons for four weeks. From the 1st to
the Is of August is the fast Of ST. Mary,
and Christmas is preceded by a 40
days fast. Apart from these lengthy
fasts all Fridays and Wednesdays
throughout the year are held as fast
days. Fasting in Servia is no mere
change of diet. 1t means real absti-
hence and privation. At Prot this
fasting has assumed such serious pro-
portions as to constitute grave medi
cal problem and a national danger,
for it affects seriously the health of
the population, the strength and fight
ing capabilities of the soldiers. The
medical men reckoned that, on the
whole, half the days in the year were
fast days. This means that for some
six months in the year the population
of Prot and neighbood is only fed on
bread raw onions and raw vegetables.
No cooking is done. Not morsel of
meat is allowed.

THE SWEETEST THING IN YER
MONT.

(rhis selection was read on the platform at

the C. E. society during the afternoon
when the Juniors held their meeting. IT
was composed and read by little girl
who is ten years of age, Annie Nj. Day,
whose parents are Orleans County born.)
think that all the boys and girls of
this State will agree mith me, that the
sweetest thing in Vermont is maple
sugar. And am sure that our mann
mas are of that opinion when they well
come us home from the sugar camps
with looks of dismay at our clothing.
We never will forget the camps and
the spoons the boys made of wood for
us to eat our sugar with, the gay frOl-
ic among the sugar tubs, stumps and
snow drifts; and if mischievous boy
did put little sugar in our hair, just
for fun, he was usually sorry for it at
once and made amends by giving us a
ride on his sled down the hill home.
What interested US the most was the
large arch with its roaring fire. and
the evaporation, which was upon it..
We watched the sap as it ran from
one compartment to another, all the
time being made sweeter and purer
by boiling and straining Gust as our
lives are purified and bettered by the
fires of trouble) until at last it comes
to it's owner pure maple sugar, as our
lives purified and redeemed by Christ
will be presented to God for accept
ance. Now | think this is like our
lives. Conservation to Christ is like
the arch; and His love and influence
is the fire that moulds and purifies
our lives. We do not always have pa
thence with our hard spelling lessons
and the problems that won't seem to
come right; and at times it is not
pleasant to give up, when you partic-
ularly want your own way, but the
thought that it is Gods wish that we
should be obedient and patient, and
try again and again, gives us great
patience and determination, and IL is
surprising how everything comes out
right at last.
At one time, in New York city, in
January, while passing grocery
store, 1 saw a great many cakes of
sugar in the windows. Above them
was a sign on which was written in
large letters at the top, ''New Sugar, -
and underneath, "Pure Vermont Ma
pie Sugar" Now know that there
had been no sugar made in Vermont
that season, for it was too early, and
1 am sure the man who sold that for
new sugar never belonged to an En-
deavor Society, or if he had, did not
take part with soul and heart, or ever
took part in a real conservation meet
ing, and l am quite certain he never
came from Vermont,as he would have
loved his native State too we'll to have
connected its name with falsehoOd and
deceit. How important it is that we
should, while young, have our hearts
purified by Gods love, washed from
all deceit, selfshness and impotence
in the blood Of Jesus, and cousecrate
ourselves to Him to do whatever He
would like to have us do. AS sugar
is the sweetest thing in Vermont, so
conservation is the sweetest thing in
our lives, and may we try more and
more as every new conservation
meeting comes to have our consecra-
ton purer, truer, better, more accept
able to Christ, our Redeemer.

MOTTO: ''God and Home and Native Land"
WOMEN AND MEN.

Women's clubs, though later and
fewer, are far more ambitious than
those OF men. Mems clubs usually
aim at one thing, as mutual benevo-
lence or self Improvement, or, more
commonly, social relaxation alone.
Women aim at all in one, and hence
their temptation to over work and
over absorption is far greater. "The
modern Woman's Club" says one of
it's late orators, els organized upon
the broad lines of educational, philan-
thropic, sociological, civic, and scien-
tific work, as we'll as the purely liter
ary." This is strictly true. The diff
Guilty is that no club organization, how
ever admirable, can secure NOR than
twenty four hours in every day, or
can make woman so much stronger
than a man that she can carry a doz-
en- enterprises while a man devotes
himself to one or two.
The tale is as old as the Greek fabu
lists, of the man who tried to teach
his horse to live on nothing, and
would have succeeded capitally only
that the provoking creature died. 1t
is as easy to die of too much food for
the brain as of too little for the body.
An anxious mother said the other day:
"My daughter tried to convince me
that it was a good thing for her, in ad-
dition to her other duties, to go ten
miles away three times a week to
play the violin IN musical society.
She accomplished it triumphantly.
Ever since then she has had nervous
prostration, and now she can not
play the violin at all.n It is another
version Of the abstemious horse. This
is where, just now, women are per-
haps showing little need Of that sac
quired discretion" which old Theoph
illus Parsons thought the chief thing
wanting to their exercise of the fran
chise. Men have had longer to prac-
tice it; they may dabble in as many
things, but more lightly; they belong
to as many societies, but look in at
each once Il year; they do not under
take so much work in dead earnest.
Even in college, we are told, it is
much harder to keep down the studi-
Gus ambition of girls than of boys, and
the disproportion long remains. At
ter ALL what good is done when a
young married women learns in a W0-
MANS Climb how tO take better. care of
her children, if the cares of the club
leave her too little time for her chill
dren, at any rate; when she studies
public affairs, but has no time to put
in practice even what she knew be-
fore? This is no argument against the
club or the class, but only against the
"falsehOod of extremes" 1t is better
for men, and especially for women, to
make clubs and societies their SER
wants and not their masters. to go to
them for innocent recreation, and
withal for a reasonable amount of
work and usefulness, as in those an
cient Greek clubs of which Aristotle
says, "They meet together for the
sake of another's company and to Of
fer sacrifices; when they meet they
pay certain honors to the gods, and at
the same time take pleasure and re-
taxation among themselves"
