How the Money Goes.

1t is unsafe to allow any ordinary wo.
man to enter store with money. She
has such craving for luxuries, such a
contempt for mere necessities, that she
almost invariably purchases the former
and is constantly in need of the latter.
She goes forth to purchase an opera bon
net because she is going to the opera that
very night, but her eye is caught by a
tea gown, bargain tea gown, and she
buys it. That night some man seated
behind a Gainesborough with many
plumes swears. She goes out to buy q
jacket, needing cue sorely, but her er.
ratio fancy is caught by lace trimmed
underwear, and before she realizes it
she is reveling in new nightgowns and
corset covers She has even been known
to GO out to buy writing paper and to
return with nothing but "a blue and
white cup and saucer Philadelphia

GRANDMOTHER.

She Does Not Keep Pace With the Ad-
vance of Medical Science.
We all know just what adorable crea-
lures all grandmothers are, and how
they cannot do enough for the little
ones belonging TO their sons and daugh-
tiers Now, without wishing to appear
! ungrateful for these attentions, there
are some mothers who think themselves
quite capable Of caring for their own
babies, and the continual and persistent
contrary opinion Of grandma becomes
after time vexatious rather than help.
full.
Even though grandma has brought up
q dozen children, and this is her daugh-
ter's very first experience in that line,
1t is just as we'll not to give overheard
doses Of advice, nor is it good policy to
empty ont the medicine the doctor pre-
scribes for baby's cough and substitute
strip Of squills, because strip of squills
was all that the youngsters of another
generation were dosed with.
The latter medicine may be regarded
by grandma as the most perfect cough
remedy in existence, but the prescribed
drops or pellets may be quite as effect
i've, and it is but natural that the
young mother and the physician in
charge should feel bit annoyed at the
assumption of superior knowledge, how
ever well founded it may be-
Babies need as varied treatment as
plants do. What may have answered
splendidly for grandma's dozen might
prove quite the reverse of beneficial for
the fin de steele youngster, and even
though baby is a novelty to the young
mother nature will be her best teacher
as to its wants and cares. Grandma
must remember that she had to be initi-
ated IN her superior baby training be-
fore she could pose as an oracle, and |
would she have been pleased to have
had her authority wrenched from her
by wiser somebody who scorned her
methods and ridiculed her lack of wis.,
dom?
When the young mother asks for ad-
vice, 1t is time enough to give it to her.
She is certain to do so and will appre.
ciate most kindly the valuable hints the
more experienced mother can give her,
but her feelings will be quite the re-
verse IL advice is thrust upon her and

| The Superiority of Electricity Over Steam

The most striking thing about the behav-

tainty with which il may be moved over
short distances, varying from few inches
TO a few feet. The obedience of the motors
to the controller is practically instantane-

one of the chief drawbacks TO steam switch

This delay in action while generally on

Again, the accelcration Of the electric
locomotive is so even that the freight cars
of a comparatively long train are started,

without apparent strain. A weak draw bar

wrestler. states that he won two falls
from Jones, the champion OF Montana, in
thSir match at Butte City last evening.
Local friends Of Rowett are inclined to
think that this means that he won the
match, which is very probable II the
match was for the best two out OF three
falls. but il it was for the best three out OF
five the result would be exactly the oppo-
site. Rowett's telegram does not give
any particulars OF the match. It was
