An Old Lady and a Cable .ear,

A little old lady living here in town
found herself not long since in front
of a moving cable-car. She tried to
Jump out of the way, only to find
herself in danger of being run down
by heavy truck. She made no out
cry, but, with an agility which might
well have added distinction to one
of a lesser number of years, she took
hold of the car fender, and stepping
on it. staid there until the motorman
stopped, when she got off again, and
finding the cost clear, went her way
without a word. She thought so lit
tie of her feat that she even forgot
to mention it to her daughter when
she reached home. When some one
else who had seen il told the story,
and she was questioned, the little
old lady refused TO acknowledge that
she had done an extraordinary thing.
but only one which she supposed
every sensible pedestrian in these
days should prepare herself to do as
well. She said that when cable.cars
and tenders were first introduced in-
TO our streets she had made up her
mind that there was but one thing
TO do when they threatened to run
one down, and that was TO get on
top Of them. The example Of the
little old lady Is we'll worth consid-
ering -Harper's Bazaar.

Reasons why You Should Exercise.

Anyone who does not take time
for exercise will probably have to
make time to be i'll.
Exercise gradually increases the
physical powers, and gives more
strength to resist sickness.
Exercise does for the body what
intellectual training does for the
mind-educate and strengthens it.
A sound and healthy body is the
foundation OF all that goes to make
life success. Exercise will enable
you to obtain it.
Next to sleep, light, brisk, and
varied exercise will rest the tired
brain more than anything else
Metal rusts if not used, and the
body becomes diseased if not exer-
cised.
A man who is too busy to take
care Of his health is like a workman
who is too busy to sharpen his tools.
WOMAN'S DIET.-W her liver
is sluggish and her complexion is
a woman will find a few weeks diet
an excellent means of restoration.
If her nerves are run down, tea and
coffee should BIZ adjured for a while,
and stimulants left severely alone.
Plenty of oranges should be eaten,
especially early in the morning.
Whole meal and brown bread should
take the place of the ordinary white
kind. Hot bread and pastry must
have no place on the bill of fare.
Plenty of rare, lean meat, fresh eggs,
green vegetables and fruit should
form the staples of diet.
To WHITEN A YELLOW THROAT -
Wash the throat we'll at night in
warm water, to which little bDrax
has been added, and, when thor
oughly dry, rub in as much white
vaseline as the skin will take up
Rub up and down, and round the
throat. If this remedy does not
prove successful, after few weeks
time, try the following: Take three
ounces of sifted barley meal, and
one ounce of honey, and mix them
with the white of one egg. Spread
the mixture thickly on a piece of
white linen, and tie round the throat
every night for three or four weeks
In the morning wash off with warm
water and pure soap. Always have
white Innings in the collars of dresses.
BE sure to persevore In this, if you
hope for improvemeEt.-EXchange.

Teach a ChilL to Think.

FrOebel's "Mother Play" book il
full of the richest suggestions as to
how the everyday life of the nursery
can be made to yield up its treas
ures of oil and wine, goodness and
truth, for both baby and mother.
He shows very clearly there that
while 1t is easy to keep in sympathy
with child nature, and for many
mothers to provide for the varying
ceaseless activities, yet that to really
understand the origin and end Of
this activity an earnest study Ot the
human mind in its individual and
social relations is also needed. The
mother must learn that the ught and
feeling as well as nerve and muscle
have their pulsations, their rhythms,
their periods Of greater or less ac-
tivity. She must learn that to try
to work against these laws written
in the whole being of the child is
but "kicking against the pricks."
She will learn that just as there are
seedtime and harvest, aud the work
of the one period cannot be done ex-
cept in that period, so the child can
not be made to take on certain states
of mind and heart
he has not yet reached the time in
winch such mental or heart nourish-
ment is demanded is but to block
the wheels to a true, logical, orderly
development of all the faculties.
She will learn that a child's inter-
ests cannot be ignored and other in
terests foreign to his present stage
of growth substituted for his own.
She will study books like Donelson's
Growth of the Brain" or Warmers
THE Study of the Child to find
true physical basis for education
and then strive to gain clearer,
larger view of all those psychologist
questions which bear on mental
development. To this will be added
true knowledge of those principles
which make a better understanding
of the child as a spiritual being. 1t
is not hard to do all this if you will
look at life from the child's stand
point, giving him your own loving
instructive ympathy.-Alice H.
Putnam in Woman's Home Com
panion.

We Must Look Stately.
The Partisan woman no longer
wish rs to be thought chic. 1t Is a
state ly air that she strives after, and
she finds that the princess gown best
produces this, and so the princess
she has adopted.
An American girl writes me from
abroad that all the best dressed wO-
men in the big foreign cities are
looking elegant in simple. though
rich, princess gowns or in pOlonaises.
Even the very young women are
wearing the pOlonaise, which per-
mits of certain amount Of tluffiness,
though long, straight lines are the
rule. The rolOnaise may be out
lined with rutfles and it often is.
The fashionable mOdistes and i'm
porters prefer to cal 1.-The polonaise a
"tunic' gown.
The prevailing tunic comes just
below the knees, is cut up in grace
full points or deep scallops at back,
sides and front, and falls over pet
ticoat of velvet or brocade. Often a
cloth gown will be fashioned entire
ly of the plain cloth, the skirt being
trimmed with fur or embroidered
bands, the tunic points being edged
to correspond. For example, take a
brown suit lately completed in a
fashionable establishment. This
was of rich brown smOoth-faced
cloth, the petticoat of a darker shade
of velvet with two narrow lines of
light fur set on several inches apart.
The tunic was edged with the fur.
One big velvet rever edged with fur
went diagOnally across the front,
ending with a velvet ribbon rosette
that had long streamers. There was
high collar of velvet and fur and
cuffs to correspond. The fashionable
tunic buttons or laces up the back.
Though the American woman
counts the princess or polonaise
gown among the most fashionable
designs this winter, she has not given
herself over to 1t entirely, but the
leading modistes tell me that the
spring will number such gowns al
most without limit.

The supreme instance of generosi-
ty in the worlds history is not the
giving of millions by some one of
great name; it is the giving of
mite by widow whose name does
not appear. Behind the widows
mite was no sense of duty; it was
the full, free and perfect gift of a
heart filled with love. In the Bible
duty" is mentioned but five times;
"love," hundreds.
If we desire to do good in the
world, let us begin to love humanity,
to realize more truly the great dom
inant note that sounds in every
mortal, despite all the discords of
life, the great natural bond of unity
that makes all men brothers. Love
is the wOndrOus angel of life that
rolls away all the stones from the
pathway of duty.-Saturday Even
