WOOING BY PROXY.

John Henry loved sweet Mary Ann,
But he was bashful swain,
And the love he felt, but could not tell,
Filled all his heart with pain;
He gazed at her, he sighed for her,
Through all the livelong day,
He was quite ready to die for her,
But he hadn't the courage to try for
her
In the old-time hOnored way,
And the other swain had nimble
tongues,
And she was a coquette gay.
He asked his father to tell the tale
OF his love TO Mary Ann,
"Be sure you put it strong and sweet"
He said to the kind old man;
And the father tried to win the bride
For his backward, bashful son,
And he gave the girl a fathers kiss,
And still another found it bliss,
And the courtship was begun;
And Mary Ann became Johns
mother,
And the counting then was done

The New shirt Waist.

Though the March winds are yet
blowing, the filmy summer shirt
waists now receive their peren-
NAL welcome. And it is a more
enthusiastic welcome than ever be-
fore. The shirt waists to be worn
by the Summer girl of 81 are well
deserving all the admiration they
are receiving. They are better look
ing than in other years, and are
made with more care. The materials
used are more effective. Many odd
little touches in the way of frills
and groupings of tucks are intro
duced, and incidentally they are
more expensive. The new shirt
waists show the only large sleeves of
the season.
Very sheer fabrics are made
over silk, and of course these de-
mand the highest prices.
The Swisses are prettier than ever
and showered with spring and sum-
mer blossoms. These stamp
ed Swisses can be bought for about
80 cents yard.

Timing the Eggs.


1t is common saying that every
cook, if she is a cook, has a method
of her own. Whether this rule
could apply to 50 simple a matter as
boiling an egg might have seemed
doubtful, but a story related by the
Baltimore Herald shows the doubt
ill-founded. The story in question
has to do with Bishop Paret of
Maryland, who, of course, has often
to go about the country, and to be
entertained by hospitable families.
On a trip into West Virginia, not
very long ago, he put up at house,
the lady of which is a devoted IN EN-
Der of the church, one of those dain-
ty women who go cheerfully about
their Homework singing hymns.
Anxious to please her distinguish
ed guest, she had inquired as to the
bishops favorite dishes, and had
been told that he was fond of eggs
for breakfast, preferring them hard
boiled.
The next morning, therefore, she
arose early and went down to the
kitchen to supervise the cooking OF
this portion of the breakfast. The
bishop also rose early, and coming
downstairs, took a seat in the din
ing room, talking to his entertainer
as she hurried to and from the
kitchen.
Finally she went into the kitchen
with two eggs, and moment later
began to sing that good old hymn
Rock of Ages" Finishing the first
stanza she paused for a moment and
then started on the second, the
bishop joining in the singing.
When the stanza was finished
there was silence, and the bishop re-
marked:
why not sing the third verse;
1.-THE third verse;" replied the
lady, as she came into the dining
room bringing the steaming eggs
"Oh, that's not necessarily
II don't understand, replied
Bishop Paret.

I am cooking eggs, | always sing
one verse for soft-boiled and two for

A woman's heart is a curious thing!
You may bruise and break it and rough
ly fling
The balance away as a useless thing;
But the sunshine and warmth Of a
kindly word
Will nourish the teudrils broken,
And newness Of life within it stirred,
BY word so gently spoken.
O! woman's heart is a priceless worth,
The tenderest love within has its birth.
Go search and you'll tiud there is naught
on earth
That can rival the wealth of her loving
heart,
When once it is freely given;
That can comfort the sad, such joy i'm
part,
Though with grief her own is riven.
But woman's heart is foolish thing!
With never doubt all its wealth twill
And freely bestow. To its idol will
cling
Though the world may condemn. All,
woman's heart
To reason will never listen:
She will peril her soul, scorn every art,
And barter her hopes of heaven.

and day,
Bv the bed Of pain will tenderly lay
Her own life down; through years will
watch and pray
For the soul of one, who could never
know,
Could meier believe, except in part,
All the strength of love, all the joy and
woe,
That lie concealed in woman's
heart, Home Life.
The Home.
Love at home not only makes
that place sweeter when you are
there, but helps pass away the hours
of absence.
After the child reaches an age at
which he can struggle for himself,
he ought to be allowed to do the
struggling as his father has probably
done before him.
Call the children early, mother"
and after they have come let every
tick of the clock speak of your love
for them. Be with them, father, as
often as you can, and leave business
cares at the out side gate. Come
early when called, children, and
cherish and appreciate this love and
cheer which, alas is not always to
be yours.
Home is the residence not merely
of the body, but of the heart; it is a
place for the affections to unfold and
develop themselves; for the children
to love and learn, and play in; for
husband and wife to toll smilingly
together, and make life blessing.
The object of all ambition should be
to be happy at home; if we are not
happy there we cannot be happy
elsewhere; it is the best proof of the
virtues of Il family circle to see a
happy fireside.-Home Life.

MIX and Disease.
Milk is one of the best and most
important of foods, and yet modern
investigation has shown that it is Il
prolific source of disease. There are
two principal ways in which milk
may become mOrbific In the first
place, milk from diseased animal
may transmit the same disease to
man, or may cause various diseased
conditions of his body. Among the
diseases which may be communica-
ted through the milk are CASTRO
enteritis, puerperal fever, septic
fever, foot and mouth disease, cow
pOX, anthrax, pleurOpneumOnia, rab-
les, tetanus, and tuberculosis. The
last is of special interest, when we
remember that oDe-seventh of all
deaths are caused by tuberculosis,
and that the disease is the same i'm
man and in cattle, and that the
germs may pass into the milk, no
matter what part of the COW is af-
fected. Furthermore it is fact
that considerable part of all the
cattle in the country is affected with
this disease.
The second way in which milk
may become disease laden is by be-
ing contaminated after it leaves the
udder. 1t is a we'll known fact that
milk readily absorbs any atmOs-
pheric impurity. How important,
therefore, is this branch of house
hold duty! There are few house
keepers who give proper attention to
the process of milking or to the
keeping of the milk after it comes
from the cow. The udder should be
thoroughly washed, and wiped dry
with a clean cloth. The vessels
should be scrupulously clean, and
sterilized with boiling water. The
milk should then be placed in a
pure atmosphere until it is used.
In view of the tendency of the cat
tie to become diseased themselves
we should see that they are kept in
perfect health, and that the stalls
are clean and comfortable.

The habit of drinking daily Il
quantity of water is one that is val
liable in many ways. Its impOr-
lance is seldom sufficiently empha-
sized. 1t is not enough that the
child should take an occasional glass
of water or that the babe should be
given a spoonful as rarity. But
the habit of water drinking is essen
tial to the well being of every child.
Most children will occasionally ask
for water at meals, or will take a
swallow of ice water when they see
other drinking, or will enjoy water
with lemon or fruit or Jelly or sugar,
or favored with tea or coffee. But
water pure and simple it seldom oc-
ours to child to demand or to a
mother to offer, although of all foods
this one is the most important, and
no other contributes so directly to
the health and growth of the child,
The tiniest baby should be given a
teaspoonful of water many times
during the day, and if at night it
takes water from nursing bottle it
will require during several hours no
nourishment. A child 2 years old
may with advantage drink at least a
pint of water every "a hours, and a
child from to years old will not
iufrequently consume a quart OF
water in the same time.

LONGEST STREET-CAR RIDE FOR
ONE FARE.

1t is not too much to say that Ameri-
can street railways afford the cheap
est transportation in the world, and
awards to the city of Brooklyn the
credit of giving the longest ride that
can be had for one fare in any great
city in this country.
The rate per mile for the longest
legitimate ride that can be obtained
for one fare in that city is given at .2S
cents; Chicago comes next, with rate
of one-third of a cent; New York third,
it's rate being 40 cents, while Phila-
delphia has rate of .43 cents.
The longest rides for one fare in
these cities are stated as follows:
Brooklyn, IS miles; Chicago, IL miles;
New York, 1914 miles, and Philadel-
phia 11A niles.
Chicago has utterly distanced it's
rivals in the matter of total track
mileage, having, according to the above
authority, 76O miles of track, as
against 462 in Philadelphia, 458 in New
York and 1913 in Brooklyn. In Glas-
cow, a city which is often held I'D as
possessing model street railway sys-
tenn, the longest ride that can be had
for single fare is 5.37 miles, and the
rate per mile for this ride is LII cents.
That the number of passengers who
ride long distances in Chicago is pro-
portionately large is shown by the fact
that no less than 100000 transfers are
given daily on the car lines of that
city.-Street Railway Journal.

UNDER The LENS
Proper Appreciation Of the
Photograph.
Do Not Obliterate the Life Spot
Photography Develops Love
Of Nature.

Webster's definition of the word pOr-
trait is, graphic delineation of an in
dividual, hence an exact likeness of a
living being. But that word portrait
is much abused. All people understand
physiognomy more or less, but very
few know it. We all criticise portraits
and decide in our minds that a person
looks intelligent or not We often hear
people say, when examining a photo
graph, That's a clever looking man,
What bright face that person has"
and a dozen other similar expressions
Such remarks as these prove that we
understand physiognomy, yet clever
people with handsome faces will go
to photographer and have their por-
traits made without particle of ami
nation or expression.
Many people seem to think, the less
the expression, the better the picture.
They do not realize the fact that by
taking out the modelling of the face
they are handing down to posterity a
picture that will be criticised and that
it will be decided whether or not they
