WILLARD OF PESETAS
Expected to be Realized For
the War Fund

Berlin, May IA private letter receiv-
ed by the Spanish wife of Prussian gen.
eral from her uncle. who is a high Span
ish official, states that the government
has decided, after long opposition on the
part of the queen regent, to declare all
church property in Spain national prop

many famous shrines and cathedrals. This
action, the letter adds, has been taken
in order to raise war funds. The writer
estimates that the sum thus realized will
amount to a million of pesetas.

1t Is a Hard Thing

To fully appreciate a bargain with
out seeing the goods About the only
standard of judgment you have is the
reduction from the regular price,
but there is probably no phrase in all
advertising so much abused as that
1t is SO easy to tack on a few cents or
dollars to the regular figures and then
announce the reduction with a flourish
of trumpets. Exaegeration is so easy
that the truthful advertisement some
times sounds commonplace, and what
we want you to understand (if you do
not already understand i) is that our
store news is written literally and
truthfully.
When we say reduction, we mean a
less price than the one we would sell
the same goods under ordinary condi-
tons Regular price" is our own reg
ular price.

The Fate Of UnencOuraged Children.

Many boys and girls brought up up
on our farms do not receive the proper
encouragement they should have. l
would like to see the time when pa
rents would give this matter more at
tention. We see boys and girls who
are trained and worked upon the farm
until they can't think OF anything else.
The parents rule in czar-like manner
and by and by those young folks are of
age, and must stem the tide of life for
themselves. They have never had any
responsibility of buying, selling or
doing business for themselves. They
have not been allowed to go into So
ciety any more than probably to attend
district school in winter and to 90 to
church now and then on SUNDAYS.
When they find themselves thrown up
on their own responsibility they are
backward and with a very limited
education they are forced into the rear
ranks of social and political life. All
they know is to go through with the
ordinary routine of agricultural work,
without knowing the why or "what
for" of their work. Consequently
many failures are made. Farmers
should have scientific understanding
of their work as well as physicians or
lawyers. In the course of events they
have corn, hogs, etc., to sell, and again
they feel the great responsibility of self
management upon them. Father al
ways attended to that, and the boys
were never encouraged in learning the
rules and regulations of the market,
and now the son comes to a point and
he knows not which way to turn. 1t is
not my purpose in this brief article to
say what parents should do, and what
not; only purpose to call attention to
the fate of unencouraged boys, and
plead with fathers and mothers to en-
courage the boys and girls to be men
and women in the true sense of the
word. Let them have little property
and learn to buy and sell and especially
how to handle money after they
get it. Encourage them to choose
good companions and amusements.
Teach them by your actions that they
are your partners in all things and that
sooner or later you must give up the
property to them. Such is the case.
Finally, parents, study the dispositions
and hobbies of your children and by
the help of God do the best you can
for them.-New England Homestead

The How of 1t.
INTELLIGENCE OFFICE,

l know of man who is always right
up with his work, so that when the sea-
son comes to enter upon any particular
kind of business he is ready. His work
never seems to crowd him; he is,
rather, the one who does the crowdipg.
1t has been something of mystery
to this mans neighbors how he is able
to be just at the front at all seasons of
the year. l have taken some pains to
study his methods, and l think l have
discovered his secret.
find that this man is always to be
found on the spot He has little time
to spend around the village; you will
not find him there at any time of the
year. He knows what is going on, and
how it is going on. Then he has things
ready for business when the season
opens. He is not obliged to spend two
or three days vibrating between his
farm and the blacksmith or carpenter
shop. All repairs are made when work
is not crowding. Machinery is put
away in condition to hitch onto when
needed next year. l saw this man get
ting out his mower to-day. Instead of
being compelled to grind up set of
knives, he had set ground, all ready
to slip in. The same way with the
valuable time is saved.
Again, he buys his seed in the win
ter, when it is lower in price than it is
later in the season, and has it on hand
ready for use. His seed corn is care
fully braided and hung away every fall,
so that he knows just where he is to
find it when planting time comes. The
neighbors have discovered that he has
this system, and flock to him every
spring, knowing that he will have seed
corn if any one has.
This man also has fair supply of
carpenter tools, so that if any breakage
comes he may repair the tool without
being compelled to spend half day at
the village. He keeps few pulleys
for the horsefork on hand, and a good
supply of bolts, rivets, nails, screws,
etc.
One thing more l have noticed, and
that is that this man has his days work
done early. Very little going about
with lantern to do chores. Business
is 80 shaped that shutdown sees matters
closed up. This pleases his hands, and
they are ready to work a little harder
early in the day for the sake of a half
hours rest in the evening.
l fancy l hear some one say: sob,
well; that man is forehanded, and has
means at his command to do these
things. Not all of us could do that
way" But it is following such sys-
tenn that has made him forehanded. 1t
was not chance thing that he became
80. Perhaps there may be pointer in
this article which it might pay some to
follow.-New York Tribune.

The average housekeeper finds that
her memory is shortest when it comes
TO the daily planning of meals. Her
frequent cry that she cannot think of
anything to order never seems to be
suggestive to her of its own remedy.
She has ordered and does order every
day the round of family living, and if
when the process is over she would ar
range in little book kept for the pur-
pose the chief dishes that have appear
ed on the table during twenty-four
hours, she will find that she quickly
accumulates valuable memorabilia.
Instead of cataloguing these dishes
under Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday,
it is simpler to classify them breakfast,
luncheon, dinner; substantials and
desserts. A housekeeper who has prac-
tised this plan since the beginning of
the year has over and over again been
amazed to discover how the useful
simple dishes escape her memory with
out it,

The beautifully polished and often
expensive dressing-tables are now fire.
quently provided with plate glass top,
which fits over them perfectly. This
protects not only the finish of the table
itself, but as it can be lifted off, often
the exquisitely embroidered drawn
work mats and doilies are placed be-
tween the glass and the top. In this
way they show through and are yet
protected. The plan, however, is
scarcely an artistic one. The glass top
is not a bad idea in itself, but the plast-
ering of doilies beneath seems unsuita-
BILE, The same objection applies to the
deliberately ornamented dressing-table
utensils. 1t is q common thing to have
these tables set out 80 deliberately that
a second set Of everything for real use
is kept in one of the drawers, such
course being actually necessary because
of the elaboration in the show set.
Fewer of these show implements and
a selection made of rich, plain ones, if
cost is desired, that may have the care
full use which belongs to refined ways,
would seem to be in better taste.

Peach Marketing Methods.

The advent of another peach ship
ping season, with Georgia fruit now in
evidence in all northern cities, once
more emphasizes the lack of unifor-
nifty in the shape of packages employ
ed and to less extent the methods of
marketing. Shapes and sizes in the
north and east are quite different from
those in vogue in Chicago and other
western markets supplied from the
peach orchards of Arkansas, Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan. In most
of the big eastern trade centers, includ-
ing Philadelphia and New York, the
Delaware shape basket holding bushels
is the favorite, but many shapes and
sizes are in use, beginning with the
six basket carrier for early Georgia
peaches, containing twenty to twenty
four quarts. For fruit shipped from
Maryland and Delaware, the popular
package in Boston is the eighteen
quart basket, and from Jersey the six
teen-quart or one-half bushel basket

The Care of Iron Tools.

Caoutchouc oil is said to have proved
efficient in preventing rust, and to have
been adopted by the German army. 1t
only requires to be spread with piece
of flannel in very thin layer over the
metallic surface and allowed to dry up.
Such q coating will afford security
against all atmospheric influences, and
will not show any cracks under the
microscope after years standing. To
remove it, the article has simply to be
treated with caoutchouc oil again, and
washed after twelve to twenty-four
hours.
A solution of india-rubber in benzine
has been used for years as a coating for
steel, iron and lead, has been found
simple means of keeping them from OK
idizing. 1t can be easily applied with
brush, and is as easily rubbed off. 1t
should be made about the consistency
of cream.
All steel articles can be perfectly pre-
served from rust by putting lump of
freshly-hurnt lime in the drawer or
case in which they are kept. If things
are to be moved Gas gun in its case,
for instance) put the lime in muslin
bag. This is especially valuable for
specimens of iron when fractured; for,
in moderately dry place the lime will
not want any renewing for many years,
as it is capable of absorbing a large
quantity of moisture. Articles in use
should be placed in box nearly filled
with thoroughly pulverized slaked lime.
Before using them rub well with
wooden cloth.
Soft soap, with half its weight of
pearlash; one ounce of mixture in
about one gallon of boiling water. This
is in everyday use in most engineers
shops in the drip-cans used for turning
long articles bright in wrought-iron and
steel. The work, though constantly
moist, does not rust; and bright nuts
are immersed in it for days, till wanted,
and retain their polish. - Popular
