pureau is seeking to flid larger tracts
OF land that may be used for its purpose
A man in Pennsylvania offered 1000 acres,
but hearing that Mr.. Kjelgaard would be
able to make use OF even larger tracts,
he increased the offer to 5000 acres.
Mr.. K1elgaard replied to the question OF
the way such a large colony should be
established, that it should be owned by
q corporation or association In New York,
and the coionists put on the farm lands
and gradually aided until they could Sc
cure their own homes. The association
should pay them wages, which could be
deducted from the sale OF their products,
and the profits divided between the labor
ers and the association. He thought thai
men could soon earn enough to begin
farming for themselves on small lots. Mr.,
Kjelgaard considers that women may
be helped by this plan as well as men;
and he approved the suggestion of one of
the members of the league that the mat
ter might be laid before the boards of
public instruction as a plan for the prac-
teal training of the people to self-sup-
porting, industrial life.
With the problem continually coming up
of what to do for needy and worthy
women for whom there is never quite
enough work in laundry and house clean
ing, it seems as If women's clubs in cities
might well make a special effort in this
line.
Editorially, in the April Ladies Home
Journal" Edward w. Box expresses HIM
self vigorously in depreciation of the ten
dAnPv IN infro67roo a 1an1oro,,c ta-oo,
of snobbery into education. He notes
the ~peryading II know so much air
that is encountered ON all sides. and the
feeling hat a line is being drawn on a
so-educational basis. Mr.. Box contends
that IAN educational process which
sharpens and polishes only a girls in
~tellect. and either deadens or neglects
her heart or soul, is a sorry imitation of
what an education really stands for and
is. The practice followed by some
girls who nave been at college of hold
ing their heads above those VINO have
not is a foolish proceeding, and smacks
of the most repuTsfve kind Of snohbery.
1t is never safe for us to assume that
we know more than the people around
us. whether we are college trained or
not The longer we live in this world
the more we become convinced how little
we know. The people most humble in
thelr opinions are generally the best edu-
Gated. 1t is an art which only a few of
us learn: to be reticent of our own opin-
ION when every one around us is express
ing his. Yet this is me of the attributes
OF the well educated. Silence often
speaks louder than speech. But the girl
fresh from her books and college does
not always perceive this. She is apt to
assume, for example, that people are un-
educated If now and again they speak
ungrammatical1y. But she does not
know that the most vital truths ever
spoken or written, the truths which have
lone mankind the greatest good. have
not always been those which would have
borne grammatical dissection. Their
good lay in what was said, rather than
in the way in which the sentences were
constructed. 1t is when we are young
that we believe that all that is worth
knowing is printed in books. When we
are older we find that the deepest truths
are never written. 1t is well enough for
2 cir to hold up for herself a standard
III or anything else. But she is
unwise when she believes that her stand
arc Is the one by Which she must iudgA
and Measure others. She has no ricl,e
to do SO in the first place. And in the
second, she is far more apt to be wrong
IN her deductions than she is to be cor
rect"
In many cases imperfect teeth result
from 4 delicate constitution, but that
rarely holds good with our society
women. for they are so athletic and paw
SO mlch attention to physical culture
that thei constitution are as regular as
Amazons. n their imperfect teeth must
be laid to something else.
Numbers of women and girls who vauBe

slow degrees, IMPURE the teeth if they only
knew wherein the harm and danger Law.
There are things which should always
be avoided, and by doing so teeth would

you can just sdp them, or, on the other
hand, iced drinks. have a distinctly dele
ferrous effect on the teeth.
The process of drawing a medicine
through a tube, instead Of taking ii with
a spoon, Is not alone sufficient to insure
the teeth being uninjured; they sho,rld
be brushed Immediately afterward. and
the mouth thoroughly rinsed with tepid
water.
Women who are addicted to the BON
bon habit, and who consume large GUAM
titles of expensive candies, would be
wise never to indulge without rinsing their
teeth Immediately after.
In the car of the teeth. merely brush
Ing them is not sufficient, for when the
teeth are close together it is advisable
to draw a piece of silk thread several
times between them, SO as to make GER
tain that all the little creviees are quite
clear, and then the brush may be used
ad-vantageously.
Twice or three times a day is not too
often to brush the teeth: a long bristled
brush of medium hardness is best adapt
ed for the purpose, M tepid water should
always be used. as cold is injurious.
It Is always a good plan to rinse the
mouth after eating, but water alone is
not always sufficient TO sweeten and

mouth wash which any one can easily
prepare is as follows
