them aneedful hitch now and then, but
the recklessness with which he danced
about filled one with constant appre-
tension.
"P1ease, lady, gimme a penny" he
said. The martial plume did not bow.
''Run away, boy" said the elderly

The amazing knickerhockers danced
off and were half way across the street

Useless FOrcbodinRs.

What vast proportion of our lives
is spent in anxious and useless fore
bodings concerning the future-either
our own or that of our dear ones!
Present joys, present blessings slip by,

when will we learn the sweet trust in
God that our children teach us-we,
who are so mutable, so faulty, so irri-

watchful, so pitiful, SO loving, so for

THE GIRL AND HER BROTHER.
With But Little Effort She Can Easily
Gain a Most Wholesome Infiu-
ence Over Him.

Gain your brothers confidence, my
dear girl, else you will have no influ-
ence over him. Force yourself to be
interested in whatever he tells you.
Let no escort be as charming to you as
he is. Make him find pleasure in the
same society that you do, and if for
some reason he finds it tiresome, then
arrange to go in another set, but al
ways a good one, which he will appre-
ciate. If you have any accomplish
ment, urge your brother to be student
with you. If you are good pianist
never refuse to play the tune he likes,
and if you can induce him to take up
the violin or mandolin, or even the
banjo, so much the better, for then you
two may be companions in melody as
in life. Never forget how much a man,
and especially young man, likes to be
remembered. The tiny token on his
birthday, the remembrance on the holi-
day, the little letter of congratulation
sent when he has succeeded either in
his studies or in the business world
none of the small pleasures of life are
wasted on a brother. A brother is
very often the reproduction of his sis
ter. It is as if he were mirror into
which when the sister looked she
found reflected all her faults and most
of her virtues.-Ruth Ashmore, in

THE GIRL AND HEX COLLEGE.
The Training There Received Is I'm
doubtedly Of Inestimable Bene-
tit to Her in Her Home Life.

1t is sometimes argued that the COL
lege units woman for domestic life.
That is true, think, only so far as
a girl can or cannot adapt herself from
one condition to another. The differ
ence between the college and the home
is simply the difference between all
training and real work in the world.
If a college course is rightly under
stood and taken advantage of, it will
prepare rather than unfit girl for
the wisest government of house. If
she has used her time and opportuni-
ties at college well, her training Of
system and discipline will prove Of the
first Importance to her in conducting
the domestic machinery. Aside from
the direct application of her training
to her work, she has the greater adj
vantage OF resources OF mental refresh
ment when moments of leisure come
to her. The domestic courses, now
being so generally introduced into the
curriculum of our girls: colleges, also
give practical value to college edu-
cation for girl which it did not possess
few years ago. The value of these
courses lies in the foundation which
they give girl to build upon.
All things being equal, a college train
ing is unquestionably source of in
estimable value to girl, as it is to a.
man, and she is the better equipped for
her duties of wife and mother because
of it. knowledge is always valuable.
Yet it does not, by any means, follow
that a girl, unable to go through col
lege, is at disadvantage with her
girl friend who did. Where it is feas-
ible and possible tits an excellent part
of girls equipment and it's advantages
will come back to her in a thousandfold
in her future years. But in the ma
jority of cases a college training is not
feasible or possible. If going to COL
lege simply means to a girls mind
the fun to be had it is infinitely better
that she should remain at home. If a
girl is inclined to"be selfish, and hum
gers simply for a brilliant career, it
is wiser that the softening influences of
home remain her portion. If she is
physically not strong the home care is
a thousand times better for her than
the best care she can procure at any
school or college.-Edward W. Box, in
Ladies Home Journal.

WEDDING RINGS.
Even Thesc # Necessary ARTICLES
Change IN season with the
Varying Fashions. IA

The most frivolous woman up to date.
is the one who followed assiduously
all the fashions and fads to an extrav-
agant and foolish extent. She so car
ried this habit to excess thatit extended
even to. her wedding ring. This, she
changed from time to time as the FASH
ions changed, and new width or shape
came into favor. @ Ill
ID When it was first placed upon her
finger the ringwas broad, heayy,oval
topped ring, with rather sharp edges.
That poor little circle has gone through
the fire enough times to change it into
a fiat ring with square edges, into a
perfectly round wire, into half wire,
into q fiat top band with round edges,
and even to eliminate it's identity en-
tirely as wedding ring, and it is now
no more her original wedding ring than
any other ring that she wears. But she
still calls it her wedding ring, and her
wedding ring is always in the latest
fashion.
Whether she does this entirely for
the reason that she cannot bear towear
anything out of date even in jewelry,
or whether she wishes to appear bride,
or whether she imagines that it will
help her to appear younger than she
really is, is mystery. She herself is
scandalized at the very idea that any
one will insist upon wearing an old
fashioned wedding ring, and expresses
great disgust with any woman who al
lows herself to be out of fashion in this
matter. 800
Quite discussion took place on a
Hudson river boat the other day be-
tween her and another woman who had
romantic ideas concerning her ring and
had never allowed it to be removed from
her finger since it was placed there by
her husband during the marriage cere-
mony, considering it sacred emblem,
too precious to be removed, even for a
moment.
The frivolous woman, however, is not
utterly devoid of the proper sentiment
about this important ring, or she would
put it away in her jewel casket and buy
new wedding ring with each new
style. 1t would cost less money than
to have the old one done over-N. Y.

but her married life was failure and
she accordingly went west on her own
responsibility. She had saved quite a
considerable sum of money, and on her
way west she stopped at St. Paul and
made an investigation of the prospects
which the various cities of the north
west offered to investors. She finally
decided to put some money in lots at
Miles City, Mont. She invested quite a
sum and purchased title to number
OF lots in the most promising part of
the city. After a few years the prop
crty appreciated and she realized
quite sum out of the investment. She
possessed remarkable business sagaci-

money. In the meantime she had mar

lawyer of some note, and had some
interests of his own, but just at that

circumstances, because the mine

able possession and could be made to
produce abundantly if properly
worked. It was learned that prom

remainder. He Immediately made the
offer to deed back the property to- Mrs.
Meadow for the $500 which he still
owed her. She consented to this, for
she knew that he was mistaken about
the worth of the mine, and she be-
ieved that there was still prize hid
den in it. After she had taken it again,
she got back her old superintendent,
and directed him how to search for the
vein. She was really practical miner
herself, and after seven days spent in
probing the vein was found, and it
turned out to be as rich as it formerly
was. ! am not exaggerating when I
say that the mine Immediately began
to pay at surprising rate, and during
one month she took out $4s, 900 worth
of gold bullion"
Mrs. Meadow still has mine posses-
sions, and is quite wealthy now, and
has a beautiful home in one of the
prominent cities of Montana. Her hus-
band is an excellent lawyer, and was
at one time member of the state leg
islature. She spends part of her time
in travelling and enjoys life to its fullest
extent. She was in Washington during
the LAST meeting of the Woman's Rights
society, and met Miss Susan B. An
thony. They formed an intimate &C.
quaintance. and Miss Anthony was
afterward entertained by Mrs. Mo-
Adow at her home in Montana.
While the women of the society were
holding meeting in the parlor of a
prominent hotel in Washington, Miss
Anthony called for contributions for
the cause. The ladies gave according
to their financial ability, but the total
amount was very small, in comparison
with the demands of the occasion.
Miss Anthony informed them that a
great deal more money must be raised,
and suggested the appointment of a
committee on ways and means. At
this juncture Mrs. Meadow drew out
a check book, and wrote her check
for $1,000. She handed it to Miss An
thony, asking her if it would be suffi-
cient. The astourded lady leader re-
piled that it would be enough, if the
check was good for it's face value. She
looked at Mrs. Meadow, who was
plainly Dire ssed, and the expression on
her face indicated that she doubted
whether the check was worth any
thing at all. Mrs. Meadow said she
would go to the bank with her. after
