EDUCATION OF GIRLS.
Knowledge of Domestic Work the Most
Essential.


A Knowledge of Domestic Work the Most
Essential.
Whether or not girl should have a
college education is question that has
agitated very many able minds.
1t would seem, after a careful survey
of the situation, that this question is
less important than whether she should
have a sensible, practical knowledge
of home life. Whatever may be wc...-
ans surroundings, the ability to order
and control the affairs of household
: Is of prime Importance. In fact, it may
be said to be an indispensable accessory
TO wemanlinSss. 1t matters not whether
she may be forced to preside over
household, the ability to do it is some
thing to be proud of. IT ought to be
taken for granted that woman should
know something about the household.
But, above all, she should, from her
earliest childhood, be able to handle
her needle sllilfully.
A girl should be taught to.sew as soon
as she is taught to read, and never
ought to consider herself reasonably
equipped for life until she is able to re-
pair her own clothing and make the
dainty little filings that are, or should
be, :he delight of the feminine heart.
Every child can learn this, and the
parent or guardian who does not insist
upon it is making very great mis-
take.
Many woman has found the happi-
ness of her future turning upon the
question as to whether she was capable
of looking after the house and her own
wardrobe. Many man has hesitated
about uniting himself for life to avon
an who could only smile and look pretty
and enjoy being made love to. This is
a good part of loves young dream, but
in many cases it is not fast colors and
will fade out under the trials and trib-
uIations cf life. Attractions that are
based on practical qualities are like
buildings with solid and substantial
foundations, and are much more likely
TO be lasting than those that have only
beauty and sweetness to recommend
them.-N. Y. Ledger.

MONKEYS Used an Detectives,

The newest service rendered by mon
keys to mankind was illustrated in Lon
don. The school inspectors noted with
suspicion that great many families
reported mo children" and in order tc
ascertain the real number of children
in the district resorted to an ingenious
scheme. Two monkeys were gayly
dressed, put in wagon accompanied
by brass band, and were driven
through the streets of the district.
Crowds of children followed the mon
keys, and when the wagon was stopped
in park, the school officers distributed
candies to the youngsters while they
took their names and addresses. Two
hundred stray boys and girls were
rounded up by this method.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Carrots are delicacies to horses and
cattle. When animals are sick and re-
fuse food they may sometimes be
tempted TO eat carrots, which shows
that they stand at the head of all root
crops as food for the stock.
The freezing point of potatoes is 302
degrees, and they must not be kept in
the light. Keep them at temperature
between "a and 40 degrees (the lower
the temperature the better), so as to
prevent sprouting.
When large numbers of stock are fed
together the stronger will continually
crowd away the weaker ones, who fail
to procure enough food to be in good,
thrifty condition. Such an unequal d.
vision causes an increase in the cost. 1t
is better to divide up into reasonably
small lots, according to size, age and
condition.
A veteran broncho breaker gives the
following as a sure way to cure horse
of kicking: "Tie one of his forelegs
with rope to his hind leg on the other
side. AS soon as he starts to kick he
Jerks his front leg of the ground and
he goes down in a heap. Two or three
doses of that kind will cure the worst
case you can find"
The larger the animal the more it
hosts to maintain it, as rule, henceit
will cost much more in proportion to
weight to produce hog weighing 300
pounds than one weighing 100 pounds.
Consequently there is larger profit per
pound from the small hog than from
The large one, and the farmer can keep
more small hogs than he can of large
ones.

Connected ones are never So
Unhappy ones too soon;
But wise ones love life's morning glow,
And prize it's afternoon.
The graceful old ones are still young,
And those alone are old
Who try to make themselves look young
When age has taken hold.
The old in years who live among
Those younger in their hearts,
Will find themselves remaining young
Long after youth departs
AS long as women cling to youth.
And disregard their age,
They never can be old forsooth-
Their youth fills up the page.

Old age usurps their youth;
And some are young beyond their prime

If You Should Go.

II you should go,
The light would fade from out my sky,
And day be darkened suddenly;
The still streams flow
Would turbulent and boisterous grow,
And bring no sense of rest
Upol its breast;
The blue of distant hills
Would cease tO charm;
The music OF the rills
Would bring no balm;
The joy of solitude
No more seem good;
No reckoning heights would lie
Merged in the distant sky,
Wherto one might aspire;
Weak wings would tire;
Your garden which has been
The scene
To me
OF oft-repeated dream,
Would be
A place of mockerT;
The flowers would droop and fall;
The spirit" gone from all;
And song would silenced be
