or two until he is ready to marry.
Helen is fond of him, but does not see
her way clear to deprive herself of
other society without good reasons, and
asks what she should do. Answer:
First of all. consult your own heart then
your head. II your engagement is a
settled and understood affair, and you
love the young man we'll enough to
wait for him, there is nothing more to
be said. But if you are not formally
engaged. and he wants you to wait on
an uncertainty, do not do it unless you
love him we'll enough to give up every
thing else for him. Long engagements
are unwise, and understandings" are
worse. They mean much to some peo-
pie and but little to others. One of the
interested persons is almost certain to
suffer. 1t is much better for young per-
sons to marry than to wait for better
times. If they have the right spirit
and are truly attached to each other,
there will be but little hardship in
working for their common prosperity.
But do not marry without, first,
respect, and then the love that is de-
light and perpetual comfort when
he object is worthy.

just Fun for Hogs

did you ever see hogs kill rattle:
snakes?" inquired the old mountaineer
according to the San Francisco Post.
Evidently none of his hearers had
ever beheld such an exciting spectacle
well, it's picnic for the hogs" hi
continued, "and a great surprise and
disappointment to the snakes.
"As soon as a hog sights rattlesnak,
he grunts as though some one had
chucked him an ear of corn and troti
right after it. The snake sees a big
fat hog coming his way, and you can
almost see it grin as it coils up and says
to itself: That's my pork

lets fly like steel spring and hooks on

Instead of running and squealing, as the
snake expected, the hog calmly turns
around, plants his forefeet on the snake
and commences feeding off his tail. II
is painful surprise to an ambitious

and striking until there isn't bite OF

he would from a yellow Jackets sting.

BILE present. To janitor one might
give gold coin, or small silken bag
with some silver, and with the request
that he use it for some trinklet he would
like. AS for the graduating dress, the
best taste demands that it be made
with the utmost simplicity. A plain,
full skirt or one with several tucks
would be suitable. The waist might be
made full and trimmed with lace edg-
ing in cascade down the front and in
epaulets and full collar or yoke. The
sleeves should be in full bishop shape,
or with puffs from shoulders to elbows
and with lace for the lower portions.
Sleeves to the elbows with bands
around the arms and full lace ruff
fles would be pretty. With these. long
white gloves would be required. Flow
ers are always appropriate. and almost
any kind may be worn. Roses are al
ways the first choice. carnations and
lilies OF the valley. Nowadays most
young ladies have favorite flower, and
this they almost always wear. Snowy
white teeth are not always to be had
by effort or care. Some persons
have dark and discolored teeth. do
whatever they may. Your dentist. who
ought to understand your teeth thor
oughly, will tell you what is best for
them. The treatment depends upon
their quality and condition.

A Family Of Shakers.

A short distance above Owentown and
New Harmony, Ind, on the Wabash
river, which little town their resident.
Robert Dale Owen. has made famous,
is the village of Payson, ILL., 1t consists
Of but few houses, but it is noted as
the home Of ague. Not ordinary chills
and fever, but the shaking kind of ague,
where the chattering teeth play a waltz
and every bone in the body keeps time
to the music.
One of the houses is occupied by a
man Of an inventive turn of mind, who
is blessed with family consisting of a
wife and ten children. He has gone
into the dairy business and in his spring
house is large churn, operated by a
spring board. Every day butter is made
and the way it is churned is unique.
The proprietor of the little dairy ex-
planned its operation to his neighbor.
"You see,' he said, none Of us do
any extra work, so call it clean profit

and my wife in the afternoon. Tuesday
Jim and Sallie shake; Wednesday. Bot

shakes come on, We all just go and
stand on the spring-board, and they al.
ways last long enough to bring butter
in the churn. So it amt any extra
trouble. "-Washington Star.

Tale Of the Day.

A small boy stole cut early when
milkmen's wagons were the only We
hicles on the streets and shops were
yet closed. The small boy carried a
piece of chalk and a wicked grin.
STOPPING. with his back to the east, he
made several marks which shone vivid
ly against the walk He surveyed his
work, chuckled and melted away, says
the Chicago News.
A little while later when the rush to
the city had begun no one got over these
marks without stopping. Men with
watches in their hands and speed in
their feet paused in their mad career,
swung around, read the inscription,
missed their train and swore. Girls
stopped, read and looked contemptuous
at their folly. Every one who read
hurried away without looking back to
see who saw him. When the rush abated
the bad boy sauntered out, and Rugged
himself az he looked at his chalk marks:

The Choice of q Husband.

Helen is in a state of uncertainty as
to what she would do in the matri-
monial line. She has for some years
been receiving the attentions of gen.
tleman, to whom she has become much
attached. But while he talks about
marriage, he wishes to postpone it, on
the plea that he wants to be able to
surround his bride with every COM
fort and luxury. Meanwhile she has re-
ceived a proposal from another gentle
man who is in every way desirable.
No. seriously objects to her entertain
ing other men, and is inclined to be
jealous; he wants her to wait for a year

They Mako . Family Party.

The recent fine spring weather has
brought the south side a treat in the
shape OF a brand-new piano-organ.
drawn about on four substantial wheels
by comfortable. well-fed horse. The
huge instrument is gay in a bright
green cover, and its tunes are the latest
additions to the popular street songs.
The chief charm of this elaborate out
fit. however. is the family which ac-
companies it-a man, woman and a
fine big 1S-months-old baby. While
the father holds his cap under the win
dows of aristocratic nurseries, the
mother bravely grinds out the stirring
tunes, and the baby, perched high on
the front seat, laughs and crows in hap
py content. During the rides from one
stopping place to another. the whole
trio ranges itself on the wide cushioned
seat. chatting as gayly as though ill this
wealth were not the fruit of pennies

Our Artists Model.

Editors and women have many
similar notions; editors dress their pa
pers agreeably with what they believe
the public wants; women dress them
selves as they imagine men like to see
them.
When fashions are chronicled by the
writer. they are, of course, as woman
sees them.
The pictured gown is an exception,
however. 1t is gown which the artist
saw, admired and put on paper. Then
he came and recommended its use. 1t

Eurnaby's Light Lunch.

The late Colonel Fred Burnaby had a
2rodigious appetite. When at a private
tutors in Wales he went on a walking
tour, and turned in for midday meal
at village inn.
On inquiring what he could have for
lunch, the landlord announced a roast
goose, hot, and ready to be served. and
an apple tart. Burnaby was informed
that Is Cd. was the price for the re-
past.
Having demolished the goose and
tart, leaving only a few bones and an
inch of crust to tell their tale, he prof
fered the Is Cd.
The landlord woefully accepted the
coin. and, with a sardonic grin, ejacu-
lated:
Next time you are down this way,
give my friend Jones at the Red Lion
a call. l will give you IS. Sd. il you
will serve him the same way."-An-

Janet Waited.

Little Janet, aged four, noticed the
other day at dinner the rest of the
family helping themselves literally to
mustard.
Nobody offering her any, she waited
until something drew away the atten-
ton of the others. when she lifted the
mustard spoon. literally daubed a
piece of bread which she was eating
with the fiery condiment, and took a
substantial bite.
Her hand Immediately went up to her
burnt mouth; but, bravely suppressing

Eject Of Tobacco.

A physician at Yale has discovered
that in a class of lat students. the n
who never used tobacco surpassed the
70 who die use it 10.4 per cent in gain
In weight. "a per cent In increase in
height. 26.7 per cent in growth of chest
girtk. and IT'S per cent in gain in lung
capacity. Figures even more striking
were obtained at Amherst, and the con
solationists are duly elated at the show
ing.
But this exhibit relates only to the
physical side Of the boys nature. Prof.
Fish, Of the Northwestern University, is
authority for the statement that to-
bacco Injuries the intellectual faculties
as well. He says that when a college
class at Yale had been divided into four
sections. according to scholarship, it
was found that the highest section was
composed almost entirely of non-smok-
ers, and the lowest section almost en-
tirely of smokers.

Let Your Light So Shine

Lee hour AhSnt so S0tne.
As an illustration Of the need Of keen
ing the lower lights burning, d. L.
Moody often relates the following:
"A few years ago. at the mouth of
Cleveland harbor, there were two lights
one at each side of the bay. called the
upper and lower lights; and to enter
the harbor safely by night. vessels must
sight both of these lights.
These western lakes are sometimes
more dangerous than the great ocean.
One wild. stormy night, . steamer was
trying to make her way into the har-
Dor. The captain and pilot were anx-
iously watching for the lights. By and
by the pilot was heard to say. DO you
see the lower light?'
No. was the reply: I fear we have
passed them.
All. there are the lights said the
pilot. and they must be. from the blum
on which they stand. the upper lights.
We have passed the lower lixhts. and
have lost our chance Of getting int the
hnrbcr.'
