SMALL ILLS.


1t is often easier to bear great sor-
now than to endure small ills and re-
main of even, sweet disposition. The
old smile that drops of water wear into
the solid rock is certainly an apt one.
1t is easy to steel ones nerves and fight
fravely fortune that is adverse if there
is chance of an honora BILE victory. The
bravest knight, however, may be over
come by gnats.
1t is the misfortune of women to be
more delicate in their nervous structure
than men, and to be more often the vic
TINS of petty annoyances such as rasp
the nerves and temper. 1t is peculiarly
woman's duty to attend to minutiae.
Housekeeping demands strict attention
to small things. If the housekeeper has
trouble in her work it is petty matter
to talk of. 1t comes from the petulance
Of servants, the failure of the Yeast
perhaps to rise, or the stupidity of some
one who has left the oven door open and
upset all her plans for dinner. Some
one, perhaps, has carelessly stopped the
plumbing, and large bill is incurred
from this source, which makes it i'm
possible for her to buy a much-needed
winter bonnet for herself. or new coats
for the children. The matters essential
to health come first. and at any cost the
water pipes must be repaired.
1t is just such petty things as we have
named which wear woman's patience

aged woman hopeless scold or a nerv-
Gus invalid, when she should be a placid,
even-tempered, happy woman. The
power to endure small ills, however,
can be cultivated. 1t is an easy matter
at the beginning Of life to look upon
things philosophically and check the
frown or hasty word which rises to the
lips. If a mother would only remember
that her whole future happiness de-
ponds upon the restraint she exercises
on such occasions it would save her.
More than her own happiness, the hap
piness Of her own children and that of
all who love her depend upon it. It is
an effort that she must make at what
ever cost. The habit of self-reStraint
and self-repression grows upon one who
practices it. Finally it become second
nature to speak gentle word instead of
fretful one when an annoying blum
der occurs. A word fifty spoken with
out temper will do more to prevent an
other blunder than all the sharp ut
terances Of anger.
UnhaDDy fretfulness also GROWS with
the indulgence in the habit until
the person becomes an unbearable com.
panion and sometimes drives all her
friends from her. This vice is by no
means limited to women. We have
known men who were chronic scolds
an who rendered their homes and Offices

AUTUMN JElLIES,
Directions for Preparing ounces,
Grapes and Wild PIums.

The three autumn jellies advisable for
housekeepers to make are ounce, grape
and wild plum-the last named being
finer for game than any jelly made.
The method of making, after the juice
is procured, is the same for all. Measure
the juice and boil for 20 minutes; add
pint of graduated sugar which has
been heated in the oven for each pint
of the juice, and as soon as it is thor
oughly dissolved skim and fill into
tumblers, each having in it a silver
spoon to prevent cracking. Jelly so
made will never fail.
To procure the ounce juice just cover
| the parings and cores left from the pre-
| served fruit from which all stems and
defective parts have been left out) with
cold water; boil until soft, mash and
drain. An equal weight of tart apples
may be added and cooked with the par
ings.
The point in grape jelly is to have the
grapes at their best stage, which is just
when they are red, before turning pur-
pie. Ripe grapes, of course, can be
made into jelly, but it is no. nearly so
| fine flavor or color. Stem the grapes,
add a pint of water to six quarts, heat
slowly (mashing them), and boil gently
until all the juice is freed; strain. Wild
grapes make a fine jelly. The wild
plums must be covered with cold water,
brought to boil, cooked to soft mass,
and trained.-Chicago Tribune.

FARMER AND MEGAPHONE.
A Pilot on IA Boat stops q Horse In a
COrnfeId Near BY.

] was on the upper Ohio this sum
mer when the river was low and was
much amused over the use to which u
pilot put megaphone. He bought the
thing to call ashore any message that
might have been given the boat to
carry. This was to save time, for those
little boats in the local trade are
great deal like the old-fashioned mail
ca"riers-anything to accommodate
the people along the bank.
We were in the pilot house, and the
boat was running up chute near the
West Virginia side of the river. In a
cornfeld was an old farmer who was
following a pillow behind an old flea
bitten gray that only needed a half in
vitatiOn to stop at any time. The pilot
put the megaphone to his mouth and
shouted; whoa" and the old gray
whoaed.
The farmer heard the sound. and he
thought, evidently, that neighbor was
there or thereabout, for he looked
around to see from whence the sound
came. Then he tossed a clOd at the old
horse end started him up.
''Whoa." said the pilot, and again the
old horse stopped. Then the old RUDE
went to the river bank and looked
down in the willows, but not soul
could he see. He looked up and down
and then at the steamboat, and
scratched his head in surprise. He
couldn't afford to waste any time in
looking for the ghost, for he went back
to the pillow and started on with his
job.
Once more the joking pilot said
| "whoa." and again the horse stopped
dead still. You could see from the boat
| that the old fellow was all mixed up.
| for he looked up and down the river and
then at the hillside behind him to see
if he could find the man who was work
| ing him and his old horse He made up
his mind that he would take it out of
| the old gray, and to fix for the occa-
sion he went to the underbrush and cut
a stick that was ten feet long. He
started the horse with a vengeance
When the pilot hollered whoa" again
| the old man gave the gray lick that
sounded clear to the boat. We could
almost hear him say:
Thar, gol darn you, I'll teach You TO
stop when you hear spook hollerin'
at ye"
But the pilot kept up the good work
and hollered whoa, whoa, whoa" and
again and again the old man hit the
gray. Finally it looked as if he had
caught on, for he let the old horse stop
while he watched the boat.
Then the pilot thought he had had
enough fun and he called out:
Feed the old gray; feed him. He's
so hungry that he can't work. That's
all the matter with him"
Then old RUDE got his voice and we
heard him say: you go to thunder
with your old voice! It'd stop a rail
road train anywheres. - Cincinnati

FASHION NOTES.
SensOnnbIe Items About Dress for
the Ladies'.

\ curious caprice is that which was
followed out at a recent wedding, when
the maid of honor wore dress of pink
chiffon trimmed with black velvet.
Black is seldom worn at weddings.
There is a superstition that it is I'M
lucky, except for the quite elderly la
dies of the families, but latterly a dis
position has been shown to introduce
black velvet into wedding outfits, es-
pecially as a trimming material.
A stylish bit of headgear for a miss
is of fine, thin felt made over a frame
and piped at the edge of the brim with
velvet. The trimming is of rolls of
bias velvet, arranged in puffs and loops
around the crown, a large cluster of
flowers at one side, and lace scarf
caught at intervals around the edge of
the brim, complete the trimming.
An eXquisitely pretty hat is made of
velvet. The brim is moderately wide,
rolled up at one side and completely
covered on the upper side with thicl;
ostrich plumes. Ends of the plumes
fall over each side of the brim at the
back, and upright feathers are sup
ported against one side of the crown.
An autumn hat is of braid made OF
felt The brim is wide and slightly
rolled up at the sides; the trimming is
an enormous fan made of loops of vel
vet ribbon, tapping one against another
On either side of this fan are thick

Three Queer Tennessee Farmers.

There is in Tennessee a family of
three sisters which presents some of
the most startling peculiarities mag
Unable. The three sisters live together
on a farm, their sole means of sub
sistence, and work early and late to
earn livelihood. Two of them work in
the field; the third does the cooking
and other homework. There is but one
period of the year when any member
of the trio has anything to say to any
other member. All during the winter,
spring and summer they go about their
business with the seal of silence on
their lips. When fall comes and the
crop is harvested they break the ST.
lence, and then only to quarrel over the
division of the proceeds. When each
has succeeded in getting all that she
thinks possible, silence reigns again I'M
til the next harvest time. The sisters,
as you may judge, have made a name
for themselves. They are known far
and near as the deaf and dumb trip
let's although such title is scarcely APP
propriate .--Washington Post.

AN INSIDIOUS IMP.
Chewing of Coca Leaves Does Not
Strengthen.

The use of coca, wine and such stuff
is running many persons. a student
writes to contemporary that she has
chewed coca leaves for over three
months, and has done more work than
she used to in six months. The poor,
simple girl is in the same condition as
the drunkard. 1t has been said that
coca in any form does not create force
or energy, but, in some mysterious way,
it sets every latent and reserve energy
in the body in motion. Thus the alb
normally stimulated system uses up
energy needed for emergencies, and at
last collapses. By its anesthetic action
it destroys or deadens the sense of hum
ger. and food is not craved thus adding
another element of final exhaustion.
Even strong coffee or tea habitually
used can conceal mans breaking con-
dition from Aim for many years. To-
bacco does the same. The other day a
merchant remarked: 81 could not get
through my business if it was not for
my cigars" He might just as well have
said: Il could not keep my bank ac-
count good if did not pawn my stock,
or pay my interest account if l did not
take the money out of the principal."-
n. Y. Christian Advocate.
