What Befalls the Spendthrlft.

BY most men the rosy dreams of
youth are never realized. The work
men must always far outnumber the
employers, more than one hundred to
one. The man who puts off the prac-
tice OF economy, waiting for time
when it will be easier for him to de-
prive himself Of certain pet luxuries,
learns when it is too late that he has
passed the point where he can dcmand
of the present that it shall help pro-
vide for the future. Among all the ac-
1uaintances have had in the past for
ty years, not one spendthrift among
them has retired from business sue
cessful man.
Perhaps you look upon that word
"spendthrift' as one that cannot be
applied to you. You may think it ap-
plies only to one who foolishly throws
array fortune. IF you will turn to
your dictionary you will read that he
is spendtrift who is improvident Or
wasteful. The word applies with
equal force to the man earning ten dol
lars week and to him who has thou
sands.
There are no miracles in business
career. The man who wins success
has toiled early and late with all his
powers of body and mind. He he's been
subservient to his ambition. He has
pushed aside, because it was the first
step toward success, every habit and
desire. that stood between him and
his goal. No man was ever numbered
among the successful ones unless he
was waiting and prepared for Fortune
when she knocked at his door. She
has never yet been known to wait for
any man or boy TO prepare himself for
her company. know Of no one
habit that so thoroughly molds the
character of a young man as the habit
of economy. It gives him strength Of
will. It teaches him to look beyond
an action to its final result. It con-
tinuaily reminds him that the pure,
sweet, innocent pleasures of life are
almost to be had for the asking, and
that Satan is not only cruel, but an
expensive taskmaster.

Drowned a Mountain Lion.

The cougar, mountain lion, is the
most fcrocious wild animal still found
in these mountains, writes Yakima,
Wash, correspondent. One fine af-
ternoon, some few years ago, young
Indian was sitting on rock on the
bank Of the Upper Natchez fishing.
He heard rustlipg on the cliff behind
him and on looking up he saw an i'm
mense cougar growing at him and
swinging his long ieoninc tail. The
Indian instinctively dropped his fish
ing rod and sprang into the river, but
no sooner did he strike the water than
the cougar was on his back and des-
perate struggle at once began. The
Indian twisted an arm around the
cougars neck in vain effort to choke
him, while the savage animal tore and
lacerated the Indians back with his
claws and crunched his long teeth
through his wrist. The willy Siwash,
as the struggle went on, managed to
pull his antagonist into deeper water,
and the Indians legs being longer
than the cougars he overpowered the
savage beast when he got him beyond
his depth and held his head under the
water until he was drowned. The
Indian is still living to tell the tale,
but is broken-down man ever since

SO many temperance sympathizers
have been deferred from uniting with
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union on account Of a misunderstood

the organization that few words on
the subject may not be amiss.
In taking the pledge. you promise
to abstain from all Intoxicating liquors
as beverage; aud as very few Chris
tian men and women partake of strong
drink as beverage, the pledge is sim :
ply the embodiment Of a principle "a
comiug out on the right side, as it
we're. Many have said that they
would sign the pledge did it not debar
them from the use of alcohol in case
OF sickness. 1t does not. Medicine
is not beverage, and liquor taken
incidentally is not included in the W.
{. L. u. pledge, and no white ribbon

in the State of Ohio last year We agree
that there are faults on both sides, but the
great problem is: Are those faults Semedi-

the conditions which result in divorce NAV

and a wife suffering from female trouble
and we have the ready made clements of a
divorce case. In view of the facts there
can be very little doubt that many women
look forward to divorce only because they
seek relief from obligations they do not
feel fitted to fulfill Women are not to
blame. They have looked forward to their
home life as a dream IF paradise. Then
disease comes like Sc ipent and destroys

The bedroom is often neglected, es-
pecially in winter, yet next to the
kitchen it is the most important room
in the house, for a large part OF ones
life is passed there. The bed should
first have all the coverings stripped
off onto two chairs set at the foot. The
mattress should be doubled so the air
may get to all parts. With the win
dows open the room should be left FOR
an hour at least, except in severe
weather. Each piece of bedclothing
should be well shaken before it Is re-
turned to the bed, and the pillows beat
en- and patted into shape. The white
spread, which should have been re-
moved and folded when the bed was
prepared for use the night before is no"
fresh and smooth. If pillow shams
are not used the creased slips may be
exchanged for fresh day cases and the
former laid aside for evening use
again. The bed is not all that needs
close care in the sleeping room. The
busting is far more important than
most people suspect The fun ana
dust that accumulate everywhere are
favorite resting places for disease
germs, and for this reason the bits OF
pretty drapery, the bric-a-brac and all
other ornaments are not to be com
mended in a bed chamber. Every
piece of furniture should be carefully
wiped off each day with soft cloth,
which should be shaken out the win
dow. Once week the room should
receive a thorough sweeping, when
every article should be moved and no
nook or corner left unbrushed. The
receptacles for waste water should be
washed and scalded every day in sum-
mer; also summing when possible. The
wash clothes, too, should be washed
and scalded to keep them from sour
ing. Soiled clothes should never be
left in a sleeping room; they Will so
soon contaminate the atmosphere.
Shoes and other articles Of apparel will
soon gather dust and look very untidy.
When these precautions have been
closely followed there will never be
found in bedroom the close, unpleas-
ant odor so often noticed even in hand
some but stuffy sleeping rooms. These
malodors are not only disagreeable, but
positively unhealthy, especially for
delicate persons and children. The
palmer and simpler the furnishing the
easier it is to keep in order.

Silk PetticOats.

A novel combination made with
handsome silk petticoats consists In
cutting them out in the form OF a
princess dress, the corsage being decol-
lete and the corsage cover also, so that
it shall match the petticoat, thus do
ing away with everything that tends
to cucumber and increase the figure.
The material which plays the most
prominent part is cloth-cloth every
where. but in almost endless variety.
The new shades are the struensee, a
soft blush gray; the sous marin, a
similar but darker shade; the snob,
a pretty drab; the gendarme, rather
dark blue; the marchand, a fine pine
red, and many other new shades,
among them being holly green and
teuf-teuf, something akin to garnet

GirlhOod's Charm.

The woman who keeps the simplicity
of her girlhood, it's generous impulses
and quick sympathies, and who adds
to her gifts the enlargement of study
and the crown of experience, is always
at her best and never past it. When
the exterior attractions VI form and
color diminish and depart, as they
mostly do, the radiance Of our inner
illumination will more than compen-
safe their departure. But, in order that
this should be So her moral must equal
her intellectual gain. She must be will
ing to learn not only her own powers,
but her own defects also, and to court
the good influences which can help her
to escape from the decisions of sense
and the fatal tyranny of self-conscious-
ness. She must discard the petty
measures of vanity and self-seeking,
and learn to love her race, her coun-
try, and the humanity which she
should help to adorn.

Are and Marria re.

A woman's prospect Of marriage is
distinctly affected by age. The statis-
tics of all countries show that the
great majority Of women marry be-
tween the ages Of 20 and 30. Before
reaching 20 a woman has, OF course, a
chance of matrimony, but the objec-
lions raised by parents or friends to
marriage at tender age frequently
outweigh the desire Of the young wom-
an to acquire a husband, and lead her
to defer the wedding day. All the stat
istics that have been gathered bear
out the statement that woman's best
chance to marry is at the age Of 25,
that over six-tenths of the marriages
take place between 20 and 30, and con-
sequently that woman's chance in
creases up to 25, and steadily decreases
after that age until it reaches the van
fishing point somewhere about &c. Out
of 1000 married women 149 marry be-
fore the age of 20, $50 between 20 and
