WHAT 1T MEANS TO KEEP
HOUSE.

Many a housewife has seen that her
husband did not understand what it
meant to keep house, and that he has
wondered why she was worn out. He
thought of the things he knew she had
to do and could not see why they
should tire her so. But there are
hundred and one little things man
will never see. He enjoys his we'll
cooked meals, likes to see the house
neat and pretty, knows his socks are
we'll darned, and takes pleasure in
seeing his wife look bright and smiling.
All this he takes as matter of course.
but he fails to realize that one pair of
hands, in most cases, must do all this,
and one brain plan to get it all done.
Many an uncharitable remark has
been uttered by husband to his wife
on the subject of her housekeeping.
Forgive them; it is their ignorance.
Even If 4 man were set to housekeep-
ing by himself he would fail to see the
little things, the things that woman
does to not add the comfort of each
member of her family. Never does she
put from her the wants and needs of her
husband and children. 1t is to moth
er the children come when their books,
hats and playthings arc lost, to moth
er in their trials; and so mother is in
demand all day long.
Who can count the steps woman
takes each day in her household du-
ties? Many man would be worn
out if he had to do the work of a wo-
man about the house. He would have
to learn to leave task unfinished and
see to some urgent call in another part
Of the house. or in the midst of impor-
tant work answer call to the door
and politely dism.ss an agent or usher
in friend who had "just stopped for
a moment" i men would understand
the magnitude of a womau's work
they would give due credit where they
often give blame.
1t is positively necessary that Il
woman should get out each day. She
needs little fresh air and companion
ship as well as she does her husband.
1t is Il fact that more farm women 90
crazy than any other class of women,
and why! Simply because Of the
hard work and solitude. They do not
go out because they have no place to
go, and so it is work, work, all the
time, with few pleasures, and great
lack of something to divert their minds
from the daily routine.
A woman's best efforts should be
for the comfort of her home, for hus-
band aud children. and reasonable
amount of work she will gladly, will
ingly, give. But when it becomes
mountain of labor and crushes out her
life, hope, ambition and youth, then it
is too much, and the beauty of home
is spoiled. When the wife becomes
slave in her own household it is time
some one should rescue her. The
most sacred name in any household
should be that of mother. Let the
boys and girls remember that never
will they find on earth friend like
mother

Offering to transport free of charge over

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
RAILROADS.
Waynesville Courier.

Waynesville Courier.
The average passenger fare in the
German Empire, which has owned its
railways for more than fifty years, is
less than one and one-fifth cents per
mile, and yet the statistics for the year
1890 show Il net profit of S119, 159, AT
to the government from operating the
roads. The Austro-Hungarian Empire
carries passengers at one-third Of cent
a mile, with net profit Of over SOC, 000,-
600. In Austria passengers are carried
at one-third OF cent mile, and the
work is SO profitable that ii will not be
many years before the profits ON the
railroads VIII pay all the expenses OF the
government. In New Zealand the cost
Of railway travel is about one-third OF a
cent per mile.
Who that is informed OF these facts,
that can be authenticated, would not
favor government ownership?
Call it Populist doctrine If you want
to, but it is good doctrine all the same
and it is coming. IL the railroads con
time forming themselves Into great
grasping corporations and continue their
policy of discrimination in rates and ac-
commodations it will only bring about
the result the quicker.
