better, for it contains the latest by tele-
graph as vol as interesting stories
sent to the subscriber of the Twice-a-
Week Republic, which is only ST a year.
The man who reads the Twice-a-Week
Republic knows all about affairs politi-
cal, domestic and foreign events; is
posted about the markets and CONNER
cial matters generally.
The woman who reads the Twice-a-
Week Republic gathers a bit of valuable
information about household affairs and
late fashions and finds recreation in the
bright stories that come under both the
headings of fact and fiction. There is
gossip about new books and a dozen
other topics of especial interest to the
wide-awake man and woman.

TIE INT4LID'S ROOM.

AS the four walls constitute the in
valid's world, the room should have
many suggestions of outdoor life. If
the physician should forbid growing
plants, plan to have few flowers to
rest the eyes of the patient. This is
easy to accomplish in summer but not
SO in midwinter. A pleasing substi
tute is glass dish of moss and par
fridge berries, easily obtained from
the nearest woods. These will look
fresh for months if the roots are kept
upon stones and earth. The whole
should be kept damp by means of
light sprinkling every day. A small
fern Or dwarf blackberry vine dug
after it takes it's autumnal coloring,
would add greatly to the effect of this
"green dish" Pressed ferns, autumn
leaves, and sea MOSES may be con-
verified into various pretty decorations
by one of artistic tendencies. Shells
and corals appeal to the hearts of the
average shutin.
Pictures should be fttoned, and
as far as possible of pastoral subjects
water colors, etchings, and engrav-
ings being best adapted for The sick
room. Formerly, before wallpaper
received SO much attention, the inva
lid suffered much from the striking
figures and blazing colors; but the
artistic designs of subdued tints, that
are now manufactured, seem perfectly
adapted for use in the sick room.
The fancy articles of embroidery
should suggest wild flowers rather
than hot house favorites, as the latter
are sure to find their way to the in
valid's room.
Let me suggest a few articles that
would be suitable as birthday gifts for
the shut-in. A hop pillow is very
acceptable to those troubled with
insomnia. The dry hops are first en-
closed in bag of sheer white cloth,
the pillow case is made of fine white
linen, and has a ruff1e around it upon
which is embroidered, in Asiatic flo
a running design of hops and their
leaves. One end should be supplied
with buttons and button holes, that it
may easily be slipped off for launder-
ing A set of seven linen tray cloths,
of different floral designs, one for
each day in the week, is dainty gift
for an invalid. Wild flowers, ferns,
and grasses are appropriate decora-
tions. They can either be wrought
with flo, or more quickly outlined
with Asiatic etching silk

1t is the ''little things about the
house that are labor savers as we'll as
the largest furnishings. A cupboard
or box for the fat-irons, ironing
cloths. holders, and a wax, where they
may be kept all together; low firm
table in a corner for the small gas
stove that is so useful for boiling
water when the fire is low Failing
the gas, small kerosene stove will
serve purpose; square of oilcloth
in front of the stove to catch the
drops of fat or food that may fall, and
thus save the floor from spots; tow
ell rack for drying dish cloths by the
fire quickly, when the weather is too
cold to dry them outdoors; hooks
back of the stove for the shovel,
stove litter, oven cloth, and toasting-
iron; all these and many more are the
little lifts that will be Of the greatest
service to the one upon whom the

been properly trained and lacks

A woman's disposition and qualities
Of mind must ever differ from mans,
because her point of view can be
gained from no other position than
the feminine; the greatest magma
ton could not bring her mau's view
nor mans reasoning. The most
charming women are those who ac-
cept this fact and who are content
with feminine thought and feminine
ways. It is clearly woman's first
business to be womanly. After that
if she has time for it, she may bargain
and sell, build light houses, or write
sonnets, as her tastes incline, provid
ing that she does not assume that her
nature must change. Too often wom-
en- imagine when engaging in any
occupation held ordinarily by men,
that independence of thought must be
allied with independence of manner,
movement, and speech. The adoption
of this form of independence makes
a woman forever an alien. She is no
longer in her own territory, nor has
she entered the estate of man. Just
here should the golden mean be estab-
lished, and woman should remember
that God fashioned her eternally for a
woman, and it is her duty to act well
her part.-ErchGnge
