When women Rule.

An exchange tells story of man
who went to sleep, and dreamed that
he was in city governed by women.
1t was scrupulously clean, and while
walking around be saw three men
arrested for splitting on pavements.
A garbage barrel at the rear of each
lot was hand-painted and tied with
a blue ribbon. Mail boxes were dec
Grated with hand throws, and the
fire plugs had cushioned seats on
top of them. Sweet pea vines were
climbing the electric light poles, and
a hand-painted-cuspid occupied a
prominent place on every corner.
There was no business, not team
being allowed to pass up or down the
main street for fear of making dust.
The town was deserted save by the
policeman who marched up and
down to see that no one with dusty
shoes stepped into town. During
the dream a man was hanged in the
suburbs for being out with the boys
the night before.

Hiding i'm A Swami,

The editor OF paper at Storm
Lake, Ia, is now hiding in a swamp
near that place in consequence of
the way he mixed up the reports of
a cattle show and a concert. "The
concert by sixteen of Storm Lakes
most beautiful young ladies was
highly appreciated. They sang in a
charming manner, winning the
plaudits of the entire audience who
pronounced them the first breeds of
short horn in the country. A few of
them are of the rich brown color,
but the majority ofthem are spotted,
brown and white. Several of the
heifers were f1ne-bodied, light
llmbed animals, and promised to
prove good prOperty.-EX.

Bursting in from school or play,
This is what the children say;
Trooping, crowding big and small
On the threshold, in the hall
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,
"Where's mother?"
From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes
Bearing home his earliest prize;
From the bronZed and bearded son,
Perils past and honors won;
"Where's mOther?'
Burdened with lonely task,
One day we may vainly ask
For the comfort of her face,
For the rest of her embrace;
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us that we can say,
"Where's mOther?"
Mother with untiring hands
At the post of duty stands,
Patient, seeking not h ar own,
Anxious for the good alone
OF the children as they cry,
Ever as the days go by,
"Where's mother?"

liver is torpid and sluggish and the

THE SMILING WOMAN.

1t is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows by like a song,
But the woman worth while is the wo-
man who'll smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with years,
And the smile that is worth the praise
of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears

From Evangelist Moody.

1t is the height of madness for a
man to try and pass himself off on
God for more than he is.
What we want in this country is a
revival of righteousness, not of gush
and sentiment.
You may fool with forked light
ming or with pestilenee, but you
don't want to fool with sin.
If / had my way I'd have "Be sure
your sins will find you out" in every
counting-room and restaurant.
A corporation that makes its en-
ployes work seven days week
mustn't be surprised if they are dis
honest.
When you hear of a young man
sowing his wild oats, don't laugh and
cheer him on. Think Of what he
will reap.
Every lie you tell will come round
to you some time. You may think
you have buried it out of sight, but
you haven't.
There's something even better
than silver or gold. The West wants
silver; the East wants gold God
wants the heart.

Tests of a Good Cook.

An old housekeeper whose judg-
ment in culinary matters is always
reliable, says an exchange, asserts
that no recipe can teach the ineXpe-
rieDced cook just when the moment
has come to remove the steak, done
to a turn, from the Goals. Nothing
but experience, inner opinion-and
we all agree with her-will give the
critical insight to divine the exact
instant when a boiled custard, thor
oughly cooked, rich and creamy,
must be taken from the fire; a mo-
ment less, and it is UNDERGONE; five
seconds more, and it curdles.

Bits of Fashion.

The chatelaine is one of the sea-
sons fads. They are at once expen-
sive, beautiful and useful. A tiny
mirror, ivory covered note book, gold
cased pencil, cut glass bottle of
sweet salts and sometimes a tiny
! ieweled watch are seen depending
from the beautifully enameied bar
that pins them to the winter girls
waist.
Jeweled face wells are among the
seasons novelties. These are ex-
pensive and are not likely to come
within the reach of many persons.
Jeweled buttons find an enviable
place among the bewildering variety
of buttons shown. Many of them
are set with real gems, such rs anne
thysts, pearls, emeralds, turquoise
and even diamonds.
Evening gloves have undergone n
marked change for the better. The
hitherto unfinished top IS now adorn-
ed with a frill Of lace, tiny ribbon
bows or a wreath of tiny flowers.
The plain gloves bought and trim
med at hume, are quite as pretty
and much less expensive than the
shop trimmed ones.
The stock collar holds it's own
among the variety of neck wear of
the season.
The large front plastrons are max
ing their appearance again in great
variety. Any becoming style, color
and shape may be adopted.
The cold weather does not do
away with the demand for shirt
waists, and for genuine wear flannel
is the most popular goods.
Long sleeves with low neck is a
style which may be adopted by those
whose arms are not so plump as they
could desire.
The all-round linen collar and the
turned down linen collar are both to
be worn, with heavy winter dresses
and cuffs to match, but also tasteful
little muslin embroidered collars,
edged with full frillings of narrow
lace, are brought over the high col
lar bands, and occasionally these are
made in colored muslins intermixe d
with white.

For Sleeplessness.

A swedish servant-maid, finding
that her mistress was troubled with
sleeplessness, told her of a practice
of the people of her country who
were similarly afflicted. 1t was to
take a napkin, dip it in ice-cold wa
ter, wiring it slightly and lay it across
her eyes. The plan was followed
and it worked like charm. The
first night the lady slept four hours
without Notwithstanding she
had not done for several months.
At the end of that time the napkin
had become dry. By wetting it
again she at once went to sleep, and
it required considerable force to
arouse her in the morning.-Ex.

To Save the Hands.

An essential article of the kitchen,
says the New York Tribune, is a Ii
quid to counterfeit the action of the
alkalies of strong soda on the hand.
One of the best preparations consists
of equal parts of citric acid and gly-
cerine mixed together and kept near
the sink. AS soon as the dishes are
washed, wash the hands carefully in
a washdish in a little warm water,
so as to remove all traces of the
soap-suds of the dishpan. Dry the
hands and rub them carefully with
little of the preparation of citric
acid and glycerine, and dry the
hands with asoft towel.
By this means the most sensitive
hands may be kept white and soft
and free from chatting in the coolest
weather. In default of anything
else little vinegar and cream will
act satisfactorily, and there will be
no stamp left upon the hands of the
ever-recurring task of the dish-pan.
