Unless She Has Good Care She VIII Make
ForIorn Woman.
The girl of thirteen is the future
woman and very important parcel Of
humanity, says the New York Sunday
Advertiser. She is child and just
growing into womanhood, and this
transition which, to grown-ups, means
only sudden shooting up beyond all
bounds and a tendency to stopped
shoulders, is much more to the girl who
leaves childhood behind and is not yet
young lady. Fast growing is very
great drain on any child's strength,
and as at thirteen she usually has con-
siderable work at school, both mind
and body are called upon to do double
work. That is why she needs care.

Recommended as an Excellent Addition
to the Home Menu.
A recipe for pea soup which has
little different flavor from our every
day pea soup comes from India, where
1t is customary to use sharp, piquant
favorings. This soup may be recon-
mended as an excellent addition to our
home menu.
Put pint of sound green peas to
soak in quart of water over night. In
the morning drain them and add three
pints of cold water and bit. of soda the
size Of pea. Boil them very slowly
until they are soft enough to press
through sieve. An ordinary -four
sieve will do. Cut small onion in
bits and add two cloves of garlic, or
use two onions If more convenient. Fry
these In two tablespoonfuls of butter.
Add six cloves and one bayleaf, and
finally add the whole to the peas that
have been strained through the sieve.
Put in tablespoonful of salt and cup
OF canned tomatoes, or fresh ones Ia
their season. Let the soup cook slowly
for half an hour, when, if 1t Is too thick
for a soup, thin it with little boiling
water and let it cook ten minutes
longer. AT this time add pinch of red
pepper, tablespoonful of butter and a
cupful Of squares of bread which have
been fried golden-brown in butter.
This soup has an additional advan-
tage OF being comparatively inexpen-

Chaplin on Youth and Age:

| One of the women who were most
interesting to the recent religious gath.
ering in Boston was the Rev. DR.. Au.
gusta }. Chaplin, of Omaha, Neb. She
is the pastor of the Universalist church
in that city and she boasts the added
distiction of being the only woman
doctor of divinity in the world.
DIR. Chaplin is Western woman by
birth and education and her admirers
say that she has the forcefulRess and
breeAness which belongs particularly
to the West. She is fifty nine years
old and is hale and rosy. She is a wo-
man of affairs, known and honored
outside of the church in which she
was ordained.
The subject on which DR.. Chaplin
spoke in Boston Was one on which a
woman of nearly sixty may speak with
authority. 1t was youth and age, and
her remarks We're cheering ones. She
said:
'Can such thing be as youth. l
have witnessed both. have seen old
people, with snowy hairs and wrinkled
brows, so young that the world was
still fresh and fair and new to them.
SO young that none could have more of
the lire and life of youth than they.
And L have seen young people, scarcely
out OF their tee S, 81 old that they
were already discouraged and weary
OF the world. Nothing seemed beauti-
full to them, nothing could arouse
1feah emotion OF awaken surprise:
every taste Was atisfied and every en-
thuslasm dead; no work seemed invit-
Ing and no Object desirable. You.
also, if you have looked about tie
world, have seen these things and have
marveled greatly. The one conditit n
is as it should be, in perfect harmony
with the nature of the human soul and
the modes of its life, the other is an
abnormal one. The latter is ii state of
a soul stupeied by excess or neglect

and last but not least, by any means,
when the melons are nearly ripening,
after days and weeks of ,refu culture

tion OF Minnesota will show gain Of
from BOG, 900 to sou, 900 during the last
five years, the larger cities except
Duluth will show comparatively small
gains. Duluth shows exceptional gains,
partly through the annexation of out
lying suburbs and partly because she
had two or three boom years after the
taking of the last census. 1t is not
probable that her growth during the
past two years has been any larger
pro rata than that of the other Mime
sofa cities. If the census shall, as
expected, show larger relative growth
of the rural population it will be a
cheering Indication. The decade from
1880 to 1890 showed an immense
growth of urban populations; people
deserted the farms and rushed to the
cities, attracted by the opportunities
Of speculation and the chance for en-
ployment arising out of the stimula-
tion of manufacturing and business
enterprises. But with the hard times
and loss of employment commenced a
return movement to the land. Those
whose memories reached back to their
boyhood home recollected that, while
cash was not always plenty on the old
homestead, the dwellers therein always
had enough to eat and shelter from the
elements, something not always at
tainable by the unemployed in the
cities. In such times as we have had
the conviction has grown that a sure
living on the farm is better than the
chance of wealth in the city. The
return tide from the city to the farm is
healthful movement. 1t will help to
restore the equilibrium between town
and country, lost to great extent in
the boom period, and will teach lessons
of frugality and industry that will aid
in the resumption of general prosper
ity."

The Quality of 1'act.

Tact is not dishonesty, writes Frances
E. Lanigan in the July LADIES' Home
Journal. 1t does not mean the sup
preston Of the truth nor the express
sion of an untruth, but it does mean
the Withholding of gratuitous disagree
ments from arguments in which they
are quite supelfuous; it also means
the effort to induce an agreement
kindly when possible, and if an agree
ment is impossible it demands q
gracious acceptance of opposing views.
Tact cannot be said to be synonymous
with policy; tact is always honest and
palicy cannot invariably be said to
have that distinguishing mark.
