1--WE have been paying rent for thirty
eight years and are just where we

young with the determination to own a
house, however small, we should now,
in all probability, have a clear title to

This is significant remark. Many

Grafton we make her remark the sub
ject of our Sunday Morning Talk.
A most worthy ambition for a young
married couple to have is the ambition
to own a house. Self-denials made
with this end in view are profitably
made. When, years hence, the hus-
band comes home at night and takes
from his pocket the receipt for the fin

NOT MATCHED IN ECONOMY.
I always feel sorry when see wife
who, by her spirit of economy, force of
industry and presence OF foresight,
would faithfully do her share toward
getting roof over herself and family,
but, alas! whose husband doesn't know
the value of dollar, and whose care
less use of money will more than offse.
her economy. Occasionally such wife
comes to realize that it is of no use for
her to try to save while her husband
doesn't practice the first letter in the
alphabet of economy. and thereafter
she becomes less heedful about her ex-
penditures and the years speed on and
such a couple never own a house.
Or the opposite is sometimes the case,
as hear man say who has just re-
ceived his wife's bill from the milliner,
that the wife will spend money faster
than her husband can earn it. To more
than offset his desire to save is her love
of display, and her ambition to have as
much of a flower garden on her bonnet
as a neighbor has on hers helps to keep
the family bank account small. We
shall have to send letter to these ex-
travagant women, but this Sunday
morning suffice it to say that it is a
most unfortunate combination in which
wife has those qualities which would
naturally result in the ownership of a
house while her husband doesn't know
the value of dollar, or when the OPP
posite of this is the case. pull to-
gether," is good motto for man and
wife. What say you, young couple, to
strong pull and long pull for a
house of your own? Good-by for
week.

on It. When cool. put the mixture in
bottle and take about wineglassful
for each quart of hot water used to
make the tepid bath.
When the respiratory organs are In
good condition, Turkish bath once
week is advised. The patner should,
however. be careful never to remain in
a hot room more than % minutes. Any
longer time than that may impair the
hearts action. Before leaving the
bathing establishment a rest of from
one to two hours should be taken.
While resting, a cup OF bouillon, with
a cracker. and a light nap will be
found very refreshing.
Too much bathing weakens the sy--
tenn and deprives the skin of its natural
OIL To guard against the loss of the
oil of the skin any woman who values
her complexion should anoint her face
with a reliable retiring cream before
entering the hot room at the Turkish
bathing establishment and before go
ing out into the cold air should use a
rose cream with lotion over which
a pure hygienic powder has been APP
piled.
Of course the only soap that ought
to be used on either face or body is
pure olive. oil soap. There are any
number of limitations sold by unscru-
pulous dealers which are not
so harmless to the skin
as good laundry soap. Shun
a cheap olive oil SOAP for the real
article cannot be sold sor small sum
any more than can the genuine olive
oil for salads.
A pleasant and convenient way to
use soap for bathing is to make a
small cheesecloth bag and into it put
shavings of soap and use this on the
body The body may be sponged off
with little cologne or toilet water.
If besides this the body is anointed
with a pure rose cream, the skin will
be made and kept smooth and soft as
a baby's.
One should never go out. into the air
Immediately after bathing. The rea-
sons for this are many. A sufficient
time should elapse after the bath to
allow the body to resume its normal
condition. Thus will be avoided all
chance of contracting any Of the many
ailments that are due to open pores.

grape vines and Towering plants. Yes,
and you will have twenty years of sat-
isfaction in the daily thought that you
are paying more and more toward the
house.
There never was a time when people
of small income had such favorable in
ducements offered them to become
owners of the houses in which they
live as at the present time. If you are
young man of industry and moral
muscle you will be surprised to see
what assistance you will have in your
purpose. Even cold capital has con-
siderable faith in the accomplishment
of the purpose of a man in whom in
habit of hard work are to be found.
HOME LOVERS AND GOOD NEIGH
BORIS.
You will observe that people who are
saving money in order to buy house
are people who generally love their
homes. What one is working hard to
obtain he is likely to appreciate. Show
me person who is saving his money
toward a house, and who loves his
home, and, with rare exception, you
will show me an upright man and a
good citizen A man for whom no
jails need be built, nor almshouses
gotten in readiness. The habit Of
economy, strengthened by saving
saving enough to own house, will, in
all probability, manifest itself after
ward in a snug bank account created
by later savings. And, by the way, a
good bank account always tends to
give more nearly perpendicular slant
to ones backbone. Yes, all things con-
sidered, the habits of industry and acts
of self-denial which bring the accumu-
lation of money sufficient to pay for a
house help to produce a very good
quality of person to live in it.
Other things being equal, man who
is known in neighborhood as the
owner of the house in which he lives,
stands better in the estimation Of peo-
pie than does the man who pays rent
The owner Of property is looked up to
as man who knows the value of a
dollar. If his house is the result OF
economy he will be regarded as a man
of some force Of moral character, for
people knows that it requires great
fidelity to purpose for one to accumu-
late enough money to secure clear
title to house. Having done this,
the man deserves respect, for he has
achieved something worthy of it.
The grocer would much rather trust
a man who owns his house. For such
a mans children there is a different
standing in the neighborhood ''My
papa owns this house" may expose a
little vanity on the part CT the child
who thus shows his pride in being the
son of such father, but, after all, the
little fellows statement carries weight.

ZONO.
BY Will S. Richardson.


l..
A curtain Of lace DER the heavens Is
With edging of silver and gold tinseled
stars.
The moon for her watch Of the night Is
To mellow the patches of gloom with her
bars
That lay as broad stills upon heavens
The hills the Ohio rolls softly between,
The river that art of the divinest creation
Compared with is something contempu-
bly, mean.
A boat is unmoored from the gravelly
shell of a craft that the fairies might
dare;
Their queen in the bow as their captain
commanding,
With their wings set for sails ana dow
through the air.
But Zono upon the stern seat 10 reclining,
A study of reckless and exquisite grace.
They kiss and the oars he shifts into
place.
The boat through the water Is rapidly
spinning,
The musical dip of the long measured
oar
Keeps time with the love song that zono
is singing
The ripples embrace on the sweH OF the
shore:
The lights in the city so dancing and
cleaning,
The willows sweep by with a nod or
bow
On, on up the river the lovers are skim
ming,
The water to kiss them leaps over the
PROV.
A bend in the river a boat is now round
ing,
And lightly is flying with full head OF
steam
Like hound, like fawn now leaping,
now bounding,
She races her shadow that floats in the

The engines pulsations have lulled him

A lullaby song to the babe on her breast
Hot, hotter and hotter the furnace is

Mighty the waves in the steamers wake
All easily loping, mile they go racing.

Springtime comes, and how much it
means to this couple as they plant their
seeds and set out the decorative plants
on the land they are paying for. How
easy toll becomes when it is lightened
by a loving purpose. What CLEAN
of satisfaction in Harry's eye when he
comes upstairs and says to Madge, 81
want you to come to the basement and
look at the shelf which l have put up
in the archway for you SO that you can
have place to put your preserved
fruit this fall" What joy spreads over
Madge's face when her husband comes
home some evening and she leads him
in triumph to show him the taste and
ingenuity which she has displayed in
using the crimson satin sleeve-linings
from his old coat to cover box and
convert it into a jewel case for the
dressing room table. Twenty years
from now, when this couple can afford
to buy costly jewel case, it won't give
half the happiness to them that this
one does.
Let Harry own block of houses by
and by and he will not speak of the
fact with half the pride he now feels
as he brings his conversation on with
en- acquaintance round to the point
where he can mention that the house
is nearly paid for; and if, he adds, any
misfortune should overtake us, that
wife of mine, with her fine manage
ment of household affairs, could, on a
pinch, make little money go a great
way. That is it. The old story. Love
welded to a purpose brings daily joy.
These people feel proud of what they
are accomplishing, and it is right they
should.
MAKE A BEGINNING NOW.
By all means cultivate the ambition
to have house of your own. Better
live in your own cottage than pay rent
for a mansion. Make a start toward
owning house. Begin to-day. At
least think about it. Inquire into it.
Do something soon toward accomplish
ing the object, if only to pay a dollar
a month on house lot. You will fin
ally win lot. Then put away dollar
a week for five years and get into a
house, and begin to make your rent
count toward the ownership of it. You
will be surprised to find out how you
will manage to pay toward the house
half as much again as you were accus-
toned to pay for rent. You will have
an incentive for denial then. Some
thing to work for. Something to save
for. 1t may take you twenty years be-
fore you own a house, but it is better
to own a house at the end of twenty
years than not to own it. Moreover,
you will do more in the twenty years
than ray for the house. You will
make Improvements on it, If you have
any land YOU will set out fruit trees.

II you wish to be precise, the defini-
ton of bath is to surround the body
or portion of it in medium different
from that in which 1t usually exists.
This is for the purpose OF cleansing the
skin and pores.
The higher race is In civilization
the more It bathes. The value of scru-
pulous cleanliness cannot be overesti-
mated. yet bathing, like everything
else, can be overdone. All tempera-
ments are not alike, even in the matter
of water. To derive the greatest bene-
fits from the bath it should be of a
temperature and quality suited to the
individual needs of the body.
The first and most important points
to consider are the temperature of the
water itself and that of the bathroom,
the duration of the bath and the soap
to be used, as we'll as the physical
condition of the bather.
The temperature of the bathroom
should never be less than 20 degrees,
and slightly higher for some
individuals. The water *
self should be tepid, never
warm. Neither hot nor cold baths
suit many constitutions. Distilled or
rain water, if obtainable, is decidedly
preferable to ordinary water, as hard
water contains SO many mineral salts
that it cracks the skin.
Sea bathing, while an admirable ton
ic for the general system, does not
preserve the general softness and DEL
icacy of the complexion, and for a
healthy skin so to 80 degrees F. is the
temperature best suited to the tepid
bath.
One or (better) two thermometers
should be in every well-appointed
bathroom-one to hang on the wall
and another to determine the temper
allure of the water.
If a woman takes a bath daily, five
minutes is quite long enough to re-
main in the water Anything in ex-
cess of this has tendency to debil-
itate. If a. bath is taken but once a
week, 20 to 80 minutes is not too long
to remain in the water.
When a tub bath is not available a
salt water sponge bath night and
morning is a good tonic for the skin
and for stimulating the muscles.
The most convenient way of taking
a salt bath is to take a cup of sea
salt and put one pint of boiling water

Island to-day. When approaching the
narrows smoke was discovered coming
from the forward hold, and the ship was
put about and returned 10 the pier in
East River from which she had sailed
two hours earlier. There the passen-
gers were debarked and efforts made TO
extinguish the fire, which was among
the sugar Though the ships crew were
assisted by fire tug, no impression
could be made upon the flames. and to
save the docks and nearby shipping
the steamer was sent to the Jersey
flats, where she was sunk In 20 feet of
water, the fire being extinguished by
that means. The damage to the steamer
is estimated at $4,000, but no accurate
estimate of the loss on the cargo can
be made at present. The Leona has
been an unfortunate craft. On May
10th. 1897. she caught fire at her pier
and thirteen persons on board persisted
by suffocation.
The vessel was built at Chester. Pa.
in 1899 She is 314 feet long, 46 feet
beam and 20 feet draught. Her tonnage
is 2.311 net. She was used as trans
port during part of the war.
