Chayrin.

Men who expect to fail, instead of
expecting to succeed. are very seldom
the victims of chagrin. 1t is the men
OF great capacities who are the worst
victims to %chagrin. which is, indeed,
one of the most serious set-offs against
the advantage OF early distinction. II
is, perhaps. IA greater misfortune to
have learned to expect that obstacle
after obstacle will go down before you
than to have learned to expect tina
you will break you shins over them,
and have reason to rejoice when you do
not break them fatally or too often.
The root OF almost all chagrin is vex-
alton with .Ourself-oiten a ~veXation
quite as i~ll-founded as is the vcXatiOn
OF a man wGo has never been out in
a whirlwind, when he finds that he
cannot make way against lit. though
he had always previously made way
against the wind. There is nothing
Of which the strong have less expert
cnCe than Of the forces which may be
brought against them in this world;
anu lotiliuS 10 llolc liluld NUI lLtClC
unreasonable than to resent your own
weakness when you ought only to be
acknowledging the magnitude of your
difficulties. The true remedy for cha
grin is to realize how full the universe
is Of forces against which you have
never yet measured yourself, and OF
the complcxity Of the causes by which
they are constituted. 1t is quite as
unjust to yourself to be able to sur
mount Il cataract, as it is perfectly
just to anticipate making way against
an ordinary current or a strong tide.
Great success under difficulties Of one
kind prepares a man to overestimate
un1uly his power against difficulties Of
Il very different kind, and to waste
himself in Chagrin if he does not find
them turn to wax in his hands.-Lon-
don Spectator.

Ancient Wedding Houses,

In oiden times certain towns and vii
lagos in England used to possess a
wedding house. where poor couples, af-
ter they had been welded at church,
could entertain their friends at small
cost. the only outlay being the pur-
chase of such provisions for their
guests as they brought with them, the
house for the day being given free Of
payment. At %Braughing Cor Brach-
inges), in HertfordsEire, there was a
wedding house of this kind, which had
a large kitchen with Il cauldron, large
splits and dripping pan; a large room
for mcrriment. and a lodginG-room.
with goCd linen. At Great Yeldham, in
Essex, there was another such house,
which was used by the poorer folk for
dining in after they returned from the
church. AS the practice became obso-
lete the wedding house was turned into
a school. In 1856 Roger Thornton
granted to the mayor and community
of neutrality-suspicious., the use Of the
hall and kitchen belonging to Thorn
tons hospital. for the use Of young
couples. when they were married to
make their wedding dinner in. and re-
ceive the offerings and gifts of their
friends.

REST OR
The Unavoidab bic Difference of Opinion
That Troubles Every Household.

The Unavoidable Difference OF Opinion
That Troubles Every Household.
One of the problems that develops
out of that trying first year of mar
ried existence is the equal adjustment
Of the amusement question. TO the
average man, worn out with the work
and worry of the day, tired Of the
he has toiled. and weary of trying to
make himself agreeable to these he
must please for business purposes,
there seems nothing else on earth so
desirable as the quiet and ease Of his
own hcme. He doesn't want to talk
or be talked to. He doesn't want to
have to force himself to smile or to
think, and least Of all does he want
to fcrsake his slippers. The woman.
on the other hand, has been shut up all
day in the house, going through the
deadly dull round Of domestic duties
without the distraction of seeing a
fresh face. She has toiled in her own
way as hard as her husband. and when
night comes she, too, feels the need of
a change to rest and refresh herself.
She would like to put On her best
dress and go to the theater, Or ven
call on the people next door. To even
suggest such a thing to her husband,
however. is to bring on a glowing dia-
tribe on woman's gadding, and the
matter ends there Or bursts forth into
a wordy quarrel.

les, and dear heaven only knows what,
just so long will the facial eruptions
flourish with a high hand and bring
tears of agony to pretty eyes. It's a
funny thing to me why women will
not understand that it is a deal easier
to have a beautiful complexion by put
ting proper food into their stomach
than it is to doctor bad skins with vari-
GUS lotions and cosmetics, says the
Philadelphia Times. Simple digestible
food makes a good, pure blood, and if
the blood is in good condition there
will be no poisonous matter to be
thrown off through the pores Of the
skin. Let fruit and vegetables pre-
dominate in your diet, take a daily
sponge bath and exercise in the open
air, for exercise helps to keep the di-
gestion active-the cure for half the
beauty ailments to which femininity
falls heir. ~Scrupulous cleanliness
not only the face itself, but Of the en-
tire body-is absolutely necessary. A
simple lotion like listerine--which is
soothing and healing-and applications
Of creme marquise or any other harm
less, homemade cosmetic, should put
the finishing touches to the good work.

Treatment Of Consumption.

A sanitarium for the treatment OF
consumption under the "Nordrach"
system has lately been established at
Rossclare, County Fermanagh, Ire
land. The institution is beautifully
situated on the shores of Tough Erne,
in a most healthy locality, and far re-
moved from the contamination of town
air. The system consists in pure air.
"overfeeding," and regulated rest and
exercises. Remarkably successful re-
suits have been achieved at English
sanitoria, and if this Irish venture turns
out well, the founder, Mr.. Cooney, must
be looked upon as a public ~benefactor,
as by his generosity, patients DESTROYS
of testing the efficacy Of the treatment
can do so at about one-half the usual
charge.

La Para Grande, the biggest grape
vine in the world, has reached the end
of its long outdoor life, and will soon
be cut down. Scventy-fve years it has
been growing on a ranch in the Monte
otto valley, near Santa Barbara, Cal,
but it has shown signs of dying, SO
the owner. Albert Magee, the Pittsburg
stove manufacturer, has ordered it re-
moved. From the pride of the Cali
fornla vineyards the vine will be
turned into a museum curiosity. The
Santa Barbara chamber of m
will preserve it as a specimen of what
the soil of Santa Barbara county is
able to produce. La Para Grande has
a trunk or main stem three feet and a
half in circumference, and the ~trellis,
higher than a mans head. on which
the spreading branches Of the vine are
supported, measures nearly six feet in
each direction. In its prime this single
vine produced full four tons of grapes
in a single year. Those days of its
glory are, however, long past.-St.
Louis Post Dispatch.

Many men there are who insist that
the majority of girls of today are lack
Ing in honor if not in common homes
~. One man, who is we'll to do in the
world and does not care a rush for a
dollar and is continually loaning small
sums to his young ome friends. as
serts that he has seldom if ever been
repaid, and fears that he would be
attacked with heart palpitation il a
tender Of payment Of these loans
should be made. But men are not the
only victims Of the borrowing girl.
She frequently mulcts those OF her
W sex. 1t may be safely said that
the girl who borrows half a dollar from
a girl chum when shopping because
her W funds have been exhausted
and then falls to return it as soon as
she receives her next weeks allowances
Is the very girl who, when she becomes
a h~ousekeeper. will thrust all Of her
bills into a drawer, shut them up and
finally scheme all sorts of ways to
meet them. and failing in her ability
to do SO. pout and say that the trades
people are mean things" not to ex-
tend her credit, says an exchange.
Every schoolgirl knows the type OF
girl who would not be thought stingy
for the world, is jolly and ready to
go halves" on all sorts of fun, yet
who often neglects to reimburse the
Il who has stood the whole expense
because at the moment it was more
convenient or less conspicuous to do
so. This girl will finally meet the
obligation, but she will do SO at her
convenience. Maybe the girl who has
footed the bill' will suffer all sorts Of
little Inconvenience because of the I'M
usual demand made upon her purse,
but pride forbidding her mentioning it
she just suffers in silence. The girl
even with an almost limitless income
should be taught to know that she is
one of the fortunate few. that perhaps
her girl associates must be as careful
Of their pennies as she is of her dollars
and that without show or any indica-
ton Of patronage she should always
meet and never peglec: any obligation.

Bath for the Hair.

Light hair should be washed often
OF household ammonia added to each
basin OF water used in washing assists
materially in keeping it light. Dark
hair should be dried in the shade, or it
will fade in streaks. But if the dark
haired girl wishes to tighten her tres
ses without a bleach she can accom-
plish something in that direction by
adding borax to the water. and, after
drying the hair in the shade, giving it
a sun bath" as often as practicable.
During the sun bath the hair should be
spread and shaken out constantly,
that the rays may reach all the roots

which he wa resolved sooner or later

and knocked the ashes somewhat i'm

found himself lost in a vague mental
speculation as to how far those en-
treaties would fail or succeed. All the
same, there was L slight frown upon
his forehead as he turned away from

IA low chair. to puff away at his cigar
with renewed energy.
The hour of three had struck in
loud measured tones before he reused

instinct, he returned to his post at

glimpse of Miss Luttrell and a large
white parasol disappearing across the
lawn in the direction OF an inviting

Evelyn looked at it astonishcd. 1t
was impossible to deny the ownership.
"Oh, yes-it-it Is mine"
The admission was made with such
reluctance that Major Brown was con-
sclous Of a feeling that in delivering
up the handkerchief to Its rightful
owner he was rather under "a ob.iga-
ton to her for %deigning to accept it
than that she owed anything to him.
He was therefore quite astonished at

which rewarded his efforts. and stood

he muttered half aloud. "Sambo's
mistress has scented mischief already"
Yes, undoubtedly his scheme had
failed. She had not been so blind as to
believe that in both cases his effort to
speak to her was merely chance; and
the major realized with a sense of the
keenest disappointment that, as mat
ters stood. 1t was practically useless
