Every Woman Wants a Pretty Home
The deftness of woman's fingers en-
abIes her to turn and twist the things
that are old into decorations that are
new and lovely in effect. She can Sc
Iect harmonious colors when she buys
inexpensive furnishings, and so tone
the aspect of her home that rest and
ease may welcome every new visitor;
she may become so essential to the
happiness of each child in the home
that its first inquiry when returning
from play or from school will be, Is
mother hOme?' She may live her
young years over again with the loving
childhood about her, if she will share
the joys and SORROWS of her boys and
girls To every woman a home is es
Sential, whether it may be her own or
somebody e1se's- But wherever she
lives it is right that she should bring
the heart into her life. Love begets
love, and wherever it is present the
joys of daily life counterba1ance the
ills. How to make a home? Why,
let the two who build it be of one
mind-that it is to be the happiest spot
in the whole earth. Include in your
desire not only the purpose to make
yourselves happy, but to brighten the
lives of everybody else And be sure
to keep your windows open to the sun
light. So many times the best rooms
in homes are treated as if they
were too good for everyday life And
their chill and discomfort when expe-
rienced by unexpected guest make
her dream of cellar damp and creep
ing things" Let life in the home be
free and easy and yet orderly. But do
not despair if the sticks of wood piled
for use in the par1or fireplace are not
perfectly straight and just the right
length And do not feel it duty to
brush the carpet each time neighb Dor
calls to see you. else you will become
the victim to dust pan and brush

ESQ. OR Mr.. : WHICH,
a Form of Address which woefu!1y
Ahuse<9.


The word esquire" is perhaps the
most woefuIly miSused one in the
English language, being used, as it is,
SO indiscriminately in forms of adj
dress. The old Puritan plan of writ
ing simply OLIVER Cromwell which
is used by Quakers to the present day,
has much in it to be admired but most
people like a handle to their name,
and a youth of 16 will address his
chum Of like tender years as John
Brown, Esq 1t may be interesting
to know, therefore, that only the fol-
lowing persons are legally ''esquires'':
All sons OF peers, baronets and
knights; the eldest sons of the young
er sons of peers, and their eldest sons
in perpetuity; the eldest son of the
eldest son of a knight, and his eldest
son in perpetuity; king of arms; her
aids of arms; officers of the army and
navy ranking as captains and up
wards; sheriffs of counties for life;
]. P.'s OF counties, while in commits
sion; rgeantS-at-armS, SergeantS-at-
law. and queens counsel; companions
of the Order OF Knighthood; the prin-
cipa1 officers of the queens house
hold; deputy 1ieutenants; commission
ers of the court of bankruptcy; mas
tiers of the supreme court, and those
whom the queen may see proper to
style esquire All others have no
right to anything beyond the simple
prefix Mr. and the present universal
use of Esquire is nothing more nor
less than a piece of general presump-
tion.-London Daily Mail.

So prominent are the beds in hand
some sleeping rooms nowadays that it
is no wonder their clothing shows all
the art and lavish beauty and lace of
a fashionable woman'S wearing ap-
pare1- Sheets of especial fineness are
made with broad bands of drawn work
running about the four sides and linen
lace whipped on the edges. The costly
California blankets are sent to a needle
woman before they are ready for use
to have their edges lightly sca11oped
and buttonhole stitch with silk and
monogram worked in the corners
Duvets covered with china silk show a
fluff of valenciennes frills and pinked
founces about their edges, and the
huge sham pillows used by day are up
holstered exactly to accord with the
duyet- Added to this righteousness
there are beds with big sachet pillows
that lie all day between the sheets and
when taken out at night surround the
sleeper with a sleep inviting fragrance
of yiolets or rose leaves

The memoirs of Jules MaSsenet bring
up an incident of his courtship told by

Sgamb bait and Massenet were studying
together in Rome they all became fas-
cinated with the daughter of an aristo-
cratic Frenchman- The trio spent
their spare time composing and play

showed marked favor to Massenet, and
he proposed to her, after having asked
her fathers consent He followed her
to Paris in a few days, where he was
accepted by her and the marriage soon
took place. One day Massenet said to
his bride before a party of friends:
My dear, do you remember the day

me to Sgambati and List % Yes. y

Care of the Eyes.

One of the simplest and best RENE
dies for Inflammation or strain is to
battle the eyes in warm water. An
other good remedy is a solution of salt
and water made by putting teaspoon
full of fine table salt into a half pint
of water Let it boil and when cold
strain it, removing any particles or
sediment Putting this on the out
side OF the lids is simply a waste of
time. The eye should be opened, the
lids drawn back and the infiamed por-
ton touched with camel's hair brush
dipped in the salt water. Outside ap-
p1icatiOnS do not reach the seat of the
ailment. A teaspoonfu1 of boracic acid
in half a pint of water prepared in the
same way is excellent If there are
granulationS and very serious inf1am-
nation, boil a teaspoonfu1 of alum in
a pint of water until it is dissolved.
then strain or filter as described, and
apply with a came1's hair brush sew
era1 times a day This is one of the
most efficacious of remedies The care
of the eyes is perhaps of the most
fmperfect1y understood of any of our
daily duties More ills arise from
their misuse than the public generally
appreciate Epilepsy is a frequent re
suit of eye strain and a careful and in
telIigent observation will convince
most people that more headaches come
from abuse of the eyes than from any
other cause. Probably one-Sixth of
the adult population of this country
would be benefited by the use of glass
es, at least during their working hours
They tire quickly, the headaches, the
digestive apparatus is completely up
set, there is pain in the back and a
general feeling OF dizziness and nausea,
and the true cause is never suspected
The patient is bilious nervous; has
indigestion liver complaint The
evil is attributed to everything but the
proper cause Fit the person to good
glasses and the difficulty vaaishes al

Cannot sing the OLD Songs.

Cannot Sing the Old Songs
COld Fayorite Series-)
I cannot sing the old songs
I sung long years ago,
For heart and voice would fail me,
And foolish tears would flow
For bygone hours come Ger my heart
With each familiar strain.
I cannot sing the old songs,
Or dream those dreams again
cannot sing the old songs.
Their charm is sad and deep;
Their melodies would waken
Old sorrows from their sleep.
And though all unforgotten still,
And sadly sweet they be.
I cannot sing the old songs,
They are too dear to me-
cannot sing the old songs,
For visions come again.
Of golden dreams departed,
And years of weary pain:
Perhaps when earthly letters shall
Have set my spirit free.
MY voice may know the old songs,
For all eternity

WHAT SOUTH AFRICANS EAT.

The Peculiar Diet Native Savaes
Ants and Mice
German missionary who has just re-
turned from South Africa recently de-
Hvered lecture before the Berlin Geo
graphical society, in which he brought
forward the following particulars con-
corning *he peculiar diet OF the native
savages of the Transvaa1s especially as
noticed among the Basutos, the tribe
which Is now threatening to take up
arms against the British, says the Phil
adelphia Record One of their most
characteristic hunts is the mouse hunt
Twenty to thirty Basutos gather to-
gether; they march OF carrying strips
Of nets made by them for this purpose
and, accompanied by a large number
OF dogs, about whose bodies different
sized bells are bound The dogs make
a big sweep round the countryside.
while the Basutos attach their various
strips of nets into one long semicir-
cular barrier, the lower part of which
is pinned to the ground Then.
crouching upon the ground and holding
their sticks ready, they Wait the COM
ing of the mice. These, frightened by
the bells dangling from the dogs, grad
ual1y draw nearer and nearer to the
net, along which they are at last found
running in vain effort to discover
an opening through which they may
escape When the number of these
victims Is sufficiently great a shrill
cry is emitted by the chief, the net is
pushed forward all along the line, and
the struggling creatures caught in the
meshes of the net are numerically
whipped to death by the jubilant saw
ages Monkeys, constitute one of
their favorite tid-bits, which are all
the more appreciated as they are not
so readily caught Snakes are sim
ply killed with blows from a switch
and are generally in high favor Ac-
| cording to the missionary their pop
ularity is well deserved He himself
| took part in a meal in which snakes
formed the chief attraction and found

| compared with a prime eel. Most
popular of all delicacies, however, are
| the caterpillarS. 1t is not unusual to
learn of a quarrel which has broken

session. The most favorable time for
| catching them is the early morning and
| late evening hours, when their wings
are heavy with dew and they are I'M
able to see clearly. The children OF
! the mission, numbering about 400, hav-
| ing organized a locust hunt, succeeded
| one day in capturing no less than 16O
pounds of these insects, which were
consumed with the greatest avidity
before the day had passed At certain
| times of the year the great white
| winged ants leave the earth, and it Is
then that a most Jealous competition

the chickens of the dorp for the pos
session of the priced morseIS- It is al

may be seen running about with their

Colo OF the Eres.

1t is not generally known that the
eyes of infants are always blue, and
that they do not begin to assume their
permanent color until the sixth or
eighth week There is, therefore,
truth well as poetry in the state
ment that babies look about them N
.tblue-eyed wonder" The wonder may
be left to poets and philosophers but
the blue is always q practical fact. It
is not uncommon to see different coIors
in the eyes of the same person. and
even in the same eye half of the iris
is sometimes brown and the other half
blue There is a popular notion tina
dark eyes are stronger than light
ones There is no truth in this except
SO far as they are better protected
against excessive light Hence light
eyes prevail among northern nations
and dark eyes among the races who
live in the glare of a tropical SUI.
