he Cheerful.

1t is trite advice to tell women to
take each day as it comes, to avoid re-
morse over what is to come, but it is
no less valuable advice. Nervous
prostration is seldom the result OF
present trouble or work, but OF work
and trouble anticipated. Mental ex-
haustion comes to those who look
ahead and climb mountains before
they arrive at them. Resolutely build
q wall about to-day and live within
the inclosure. The past may have
been hard, sad OF wrong. 1t is over.
The future may be like the past, but
the woman who worries about it may
not live to meet il. II she does, she
will bear it. The only thing with
which she should concern herself is
to-day, its sunshine, its air, its friends,
its frolics, its wholesome work, and, !,
perhaps, its necessary sorrow.-Phil-
ade lphia Ledger.

Preached In shirt sleeves.

A rural Georgia preacher, finding
the weather too warm, pulled off his
coat and preached in his shirt sleeves.
After the sermon, a good brother,
thinking an editor who was present
would make a sensation Of the incl
dent, said to the parson:
81 don't suppose you knew, when
you pulled off your coat to-day, that
one OF them newspaper fellers was in
the meetin'?"

Had His Say.

In the North of England there was
q man who engaged lawyer to con-
duct a case in court. AS the lawyer
was not talking exactly to suit him, be
got up to make few remarks himself.
The magistrate, OF course, made him
resume his seat. He got up again,
and the magistrate made him resume
his seat again. A third and fourth
time this happened, and finally the old
farmer got up and said:
"Well, sir, II you won't let me talk,
won't you let me think?"
Eyes, certainly" replied the magis'
trate.
"Well, sir" he said, 81 think you
and all these lawyers are a set oi
sneaking rascals. London Graphic.

The Beautifying Onion.

A German scientist is authority for
the statement that if women will eat
onions they will rid themselves OF
nervousness and beautify their COM
plexions at the same time. And as an
antidote to the pungent objection
which will be promptly brought for
ward he further asserts that sprig OF
parsley dipped in vinegar and eaten
after the onions at once removes al!

BY the HAIR OF HIS HEAD.

Men with fine, light hair are smart,
conceited, and If they do not marry
until late in life are apt to grow cross
and selfish. II girl wishes to select
a husband she should examine his hair
very closely before accepting him, be-
cause it is fine indication of what his
disposition is. Men with fine, brown
hair, light or dark, make the best hus-
bands. They are quick, thoughtful
and less apt TO be selfish than their
very light or very dark-haired bro
theirs. Those whose hair turns gray
prematurely are nearly always good
fellows. They are little nervous, but
are brainy, sympathetic and very hon.
orable. The hair turns white from
being over-scrupulous in money mat
ters and friendships than it does for
grieving over ones shortcomings.
Nearly all red-headed people are
smart, whether the hair is coarse or
fine, but when you do run across one
that isn't, he is the stupidest person
under the sun. The woman with pale,
blonde hair, or the colorless, ashy
kind, are impulsive, loving. tickle.
They are not to be depended upon,
but are usually good company while
they like you. On the contrary. those
with dark brown hair are very loyal.
They are full Of sentiment and easily
affected. They enjoy keenly and suffer
in proportion. Women with fine black
hair are high-strung, and those with
coarse black hair, if they are smart,
are nearly always mean. All women
with dark hair are more tempestuous
than those with light hair. The dark
eyes and complexion that 60 with the
different shades of dark brown and
black hair denote strong feeling. They
are also more faithful than light-haired
women. Men who are bald are not
desirable as husbands unless they have
money.-Philadelphia Bulletin.

No Prison for women.

Austria is the only country in the
world which never places a woman in
prison, no matter what crime she COM
mits. Instead of being locked up the
female malefactor is sent to one OF a
number OF converts, devoted to the
purpose, and is kept there during the
time for which she is sentenced. The
courtyard stands open all day long, the
only bar TO egress being a nun, who
acts as doorkeeper just the same as
in the ordinary convent.

out of the newspapers so that there is no
