She Secured His Pardon.

There Is rich young farmer, once a
convict, in the state of Kentucky, who
owes his liberty and happiness to a
woman novelist. This woman novelist
is Halle Erminie Rives, author of "A
Furnace of Earth" He was sentenced
to long term in the penitentiary at
Frankfort for killing a drunken man in
self defense. Miss Rives became in
terested In the case, quietly searched
the evidence and bided her time Her
chance came when she was guest at
the house of the secretary of state at
the capital. One day while Governor
Brown and her host were chatting on
the piazza she appeared with hamper
of good things and asked the gentle
men to accompany her to the prison.
She delivered her hamper to the pris-
oner, asked him a few tactful ques-
tions, and the trio returned. In the
evening. Governor Brown, struck with
the episode, inquired of her the reason
of this particular sympathy. With this
opening Miss Rives proved an able
lawyer and presented her facts in the
young mans favor so cogently that
through the secretary of state his case
was taken up by the board of pardons
and he was soon after set free.

Correct the Children In Private.

"Do not reprimand your children in
the presence of company" says Miriam
Il. Brozman in The Mothers Journal.
Spare your guests the modification.
Do not imagine that it shows you are
painstaking mother trying your best
to train and bring your children up
perfectly.
'Do all your teaching before the com
pany arrives or after. If your child is
so very mlsbehaving, keep him out
while you are entertaining a caller or
a friend at dinner. There is nothing
that will so mar the pleasure of
crowd at table as to witness a child
get scolding and sometimes even
slap in the face or jerk by the ear or
sent out of the room.
"You will notice that 1t puts q kind
of damper on the good nature of the
company. All will wear a guilty look
and feel that the performance took
place in their honor, and the child too,
in his own little mind, will conclude
that it was through the influence of the
company that he was thus treated"

Education For Women.

The United States are all right in
respect to the education of women.
Great Britain lags a little behind, but
she is trying to catch up. France is
giving her women the best possible
opportunities in this direction. In the
French institutions for what is called
the higher education there were en-
rolled in 1880 1000 women and In 1900
10000. In the other European coun-
tries there Is a disposition to open the
universities to girls, but lack of the
necessary preparatory schools. Ger
many, which gives to men educational
advantages which are not surpassed in
the world, is not abreast with most
civilized nations in educating wo-
men. The present Russian minister of
education has recently stated that "a
u years course of uninterrupted study
would make such demands on the
mental and physical powers of girls
that, after graduation, they would be
untitled for life's work" Only a hun
dred years behind the times, that's all.
There is, however, some advance along
this line even in Germany
Japan has shown her Characteristic
ally progressive spirit in providing al
ready university education for new
women. Even Honduras has establish
ed an American college for girls, and
little Porto Rico sends up to know If.
Chicago university will not take some
of her men and women too. 1t may be
said in general terms that the modern
tendency of all civilized nations Is in
the direction of educating women.
Without education they must remain
In an inferior position. With educa-
ton there is no limit to their possible
achievements.

Mistake of the New Riveter.

A party of six brawny men were en-
gagged in an animated discussion at Nc
Kees Rocks. 1t was noticed that five
index fingers were missing from the
gesticulating hands. Only one man
had all of the fingers he was born with.
They're riyeters from Schoenville,"
said man who was asked. They say
most of the male children born down
there now have the forefnger missing
from their right hand. The rveters at
the Pressed Steel Car shop work one
inside Of the car and one outside. The
man inside shoves the rivets through.
and the man outside swings the ham,
mer. They are paid by the piece and
they work fast. Often the rivet won't fit,
and if the man inside of the car happens
to be new at the work he sticks his fin
ger through the hole to learn what is
wrong. The man outside promptly
smashes the finger with his sledge. He
doesn't do it purposely, but he works
so rapidly that he can't tell blacken-
ed finger from a rivet. He never
knows his error until he sees the blood
squirting from the stump of the finger.
None of the riveters has lost more than
one finger in that way."-Pittsburg

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Easy Work In Ceramics-A Useful
Homemade Device - Kitchen
Weights and Measures.

1t is not absolutely necessary that
the girl who wishes to decorate some
cups and saucers for her tea table
should understand all about ceramic
art, for pleasing decorative results can
be produced on china with a steel pen
and gold that has been properly pre-
pared. AS a matter of fact, the scrolls
and borders on cups, saucers and plates
are never put on with q brush, but
with pen.
To start with. the worker must pro-
cure prettily shaped, perfectly plain
cup and saucer, which must be mois-
tened with alcohol after first being care
fully washed and dried; then some
bottles of luster-green, pink and vio-
let. for instance-a bottle of essence
for mixing gold and n small square
shader. If strong color is desired,
the luster must be used in its full
strength, but to secure a daintier ef-
feet little of the essence must be
taken on the brush before dipping into
the bottle of luster. The luster is best
kept In bottle, as it evaporates quick
ly when exposed to the air and should
never come In contact with turpentine.
To free the brush from color it should
be dipped in alcohol, kept in a small
open vessel, and the worker needs also
to have dauber. An old silk hand
kerchief or piece of surgeons cotton
will serve the purpose.
To tint the cup start at the top with
the rose luster. Work into this deli
cately, the green toward the top, deep
ening with the violet toward the bot
tom. Pad as soon as there is enough
of one color to pad into another. If
the worker waits until the entire sur
face is colored, it is apt to become too
dry to blend the different colors into
each other evenly.
When the tlnting Is finished, let the
piece stand until perfectly dry. Then
the gold should be mixed with gold es-
sence to such consistency that it will
flow from the pen. If 1t Is too thick, 1t
will not flow, and If 1t is too thin 1t W.
rub off the china when it comes from
the kiln. When skill has been acquir-
ed, girl with artistic ability may dec
crate the china with some effective
graceful design before 1t has been
fired. The beginner. however, is apt
to be more successful If she apply the
gold design when the article comes
back from the kiln.
The handling of gold with the pen is
no more difficult than writing with ink,
but a new pen should always be mois-
tened before the work Is begun.

Young men too often want to be big

Never mind your position, young

The duties which you have to perform
may seem trivial, but because it is a
small position is no reason why you
should be Il small man. You may be
