How Busy Women Can Add TO Length OF
Life and Happiness.
In these days of ten-minutes-a-day
reaiFag, or half-hour studying societies
for improving the mind, how many
women make it point to spend certain
"p1inutes" in rest to improve their
nerves and their beauty2 Good health
Is of vastly more Importance than in
tellectuality, for of what comfort to it's
possessor, or to anyone else, is the most
brilliant mind which lives in a weary
or nervous body? believe that sheer
WEAKNESS causes more trouble in the
world than it ever gets blamed for. A
rested person, other things being right,
is a pleasant one; while tired person,
under whatever advantageous circum-
stanCss, is almost sure to be cross. Many
family wrangle has started from a
few sharp words caused by over
strained nerves.
1t is natural-and perfectly right
for woman to always consider her per-
sonal appearance of great Importance.
That fact should cause the subject of
rest to find favor, as those who are al

Would you keep your fresh complex

Then rest, rest often, and rest in the
right way. Do not insist that change
of occut btion is rest. There is no
greater delusion. 1t is nothing of the

tigue-adds another different in locn-
ton. The best rest, the only real rest,
is found in a recumbent position. No
one can stand or sit without holding
comparatively taut some muscles, and
the tension tires them and the nerves
by sympathy. To rest, lie down on
something entirely comfortable, and
relax every nerve and muscle as much
as possible. Thsis not altogether easy

PROTECTING WILLS.
Connecticut Device to Carry Out a Tcs-
tator's Wishes.

OOnnecticut Device to Carry Out n Tea-
tator's Wishes.
The only practical and simple scheme
for the practical prevention of attacks
on wills is that proposed by Judge John
IL. White, of this city, and defeated by
the legislature of 1895. 1t provides that
every person making will may deposit
it with n legal officer, who shall give
public notice that a will has been so of
fered, and that all who wish to attack
the capacity of the testator shall have
acertain time in which to offer evidence
and bring the matter to decision. 1t
no objection to the testator's capacity
is made within the time specified, the
will cannot be attacked on that ground
after his death.
The contents of the will are not dis
closed, even to its custodian. No one
has any ground to attack it because ne
is left out, or gets less than he thinks
he should have. Evidently people will
think twice about attacking the testa-
mentary capacity of a man who is there
to defend himself, especially when they
are uncertain how he has devised his
property, and may be biting off their
own noses. AS "Mr. Swiveller" re-
marked about the rooms at Bevis
Marks: 1.-THE contingent advantages
are extraordinary" Under this law
there would be no premium on will
breaking.
The proposed law does not require
anyone to deposit his will. 1t merely
gives to every person an opportunity
to make sure that his intentions re-
garding his property shall be carried
out and growing scandal diminished.
Another idea is that the legislature
pass an act directing the judge in his
charge to the jury, in case the will con-
tests, to instruct them as to the weight
of evidence and the verdict that is de-
manded by the law. These will cases
present questions of law about which
the judge knows more than the jury;
and we can conceive of no more in
famous practice than that of breaking
a will on technical points, when the
intent of the testator is clear. Some
thing should be done to stop this con-
tinued and growing raid upon wills

A Tree Is An lnyestment.

1t takes time, labor and money to
grow a tree, which means that the tree
is an investment, and should be az
carefully guarded, for what it is worth,
as any other investment. 1t should not
be overworked. If a portion of the fruit
is removed, either by pruning or thin
ming, the vitality of the tree is retained,
the quality of the natural food i'm
proved, and the chances less of the tree
asking for 'lay off" four years out of
five. The successful apple grower OF

THE ORIGINAL WORKING GIRL.
Her Burden is Carried Lightly and
Gladly.


81 am an original working girl"
An original working girl, as the shirt
maker expressed it, is, in fact, new
type. She is girl to whom work is a
necessity, but burden she takes up
lightly and gladly. 1t means indie
pendence, freedom, power. 1t means
association, companionship, organiza-
tior. 1t leaves her free to do with her
life what she chooses. The regularity
that her work eXacts she knows is good
for both body and mind. She has a
pride, which she feels is not wicked, in
being one of the cleverest of work.
women. If there is extra work to be
| done, she is booked to do it. This gives
her satisfaction. Certainly she does
not earn money enough to suit her.
But if she cannot make more she
doesn't mean to make less, and is ready
to try conclusions with light heart.
In all proba bility she has not been to
school since she was IS years old. Since
then her education has been conducted
by experience and the newspaper.
| Neither is an inefficient teacher. On
the contrary, SO ably has this been
done that her mind is storehouse of
facts that make her valuable frequent
ly for the purpose of reference to peo-
pie who have been through college.
Her experience directs her mind to-
ward matters of public Importance,
and these include how public men
have stood with regard to them. Not
infrequently she has had the career of
some legislator assigned by her organ
ization to her watchful eye. Whatever
has at any time engrossed the public
mind, she is informed about. t.--Scribner's

TREES FULL OF ELECTRICITY.
Peculiar Phenomenon Attending n Snow
storm In South Dakotn.

storm In South Dakota.
A peculiar feature of the late great
wind and snowstorm at Huron, S. D.,
was the great amount of electricity in
the atmosphere. 1t was quite difficult
to operate telegraph instruments, so
heavily charged with electricity was
the air. A touch of the stovepipe with
an iron poker or other metallic sub
stance would result in sending sharp
current up the arm and thousands of
electric sparks into the room.
Another peculiar fact was the ap-
pearance on the tips of the tree twigs
of bright sparks of electricity. They
were seen in different parts of the city,
and presented strange and beautiful
sight. On touching the twig with a
finger the electric spark would imme.
diately be transferred from the end OF
the twig to the finger, and there re-
main as long as the finger was in con-
tact with the twig upon which the
spark appeared. Remove the finger
and the spark would again take it's
place on the tip of the twig, and nc
amount of shaking of the tree could
displace it.

GOOD PROPOSITION.
why Cows Should BE Bought and Sold by
the Milk Test.

the Milk Test.
The value of cow depends so wholly
on the amount and quality of the milk
she gives that the proposition coming
from the North Carolina experiment
STATEN, namely, to sell or buy cows by
the milk test, seems rather natural and
good sense. "The plan is based on the
yield of their milk, together with the
quality of the same as determined by
tests of the milk. The rule is to pay for
the COW at the rate of $12 gallon of
milk given a day that is rich enough
to show three and one-half per cent. of
fat. To this price add or subtract one
dollar for every one-fourth of one per
cent of fat which is above or below the
three and one-half per cent. BY this
rule a COW is bought entirely on her
merits. 1t is believed to be conserva-
tive plan, and one which, if adopted (or
one upon similar plan), will certainly
rnise the standard of cows and increase
their milk and butter productions; for
if they cannot be sold easily for milk
cows, they will soon be turned over to
the butcher, and a better animal be
kept or willing purchaser be found
The result cannot fail to be beneficial to
all parties. IT. Greiner, in Farm and
Fireside.

states should be allowed to regulate the

invade the power of Congress to regulate
interstate commerce. Those who supported
the measure were Messrs. Northway (Oh:o)

this description of the scene was William
Pierce, who had been given lodging and

ton to doing his share of the work
When the police were called in from the

that Pierce had attacked Robert Wilson,

said ne directed Pierce to stand some wood
in the rack. but ins tead of doing this he
threw 1t down. And when spoke to him

not do
He charged that Pierce then ran toward
him with the ak and he succeeded after
some trouble in disarming him.
