TRUE CHEERFULNESS.
Looking on the bright Side Eventual
1y ConIuers Every Obstacle In
the Way to Happiness.

If one could choose that gife of all
others which would brIn,, the greatest
blessings in its way, it would be the gift
of always looking on the bright side. 1t
is the people who cultivate the wise
habit of looking for the silver lining in
the clouds around them who ultimately
succeed
The habit of looking for the bright
side is especially valuable to the mis-
tress of a household. The radiance of
her cheerfulness extends like waves of
light to all who come under her infiu
ence. Many a good man, broken down
by discouragements, has been cheered
by the counsel of such brave woman
and encouraged to make fresh start,
and has gone on to final success. In
the darkest houS when even hopeful
youth shrinks from what seems hope
less struggle, some courageous mother
has urged her son to persevere in well
doing, and kept him true TO himself.
That there is n bright side even in the
darkest hour, a way ont of the most per-
picking maze, let us never doubt. The
most disheartening failures have often
proved the stepping stones to success.
The old saying: ut is always darkest
before dawn" expresses spiritual
truth. if not a natural one.
No truly great, original work of man.
says the New York Tribune, has met
with unqualified success from the be-
ginning. All great inventors have been
called foolish dreamers by the shallow
thinkers of the world until they proved
the value of their work. This some
times took years of trial 1t takes a
wise person to recognize true gold in
its crude form. Genuine merit often
fails at first to be recognized. If we
can learn experience from every failure,
and gather strength for n new trial by
persisting in walking on the sunny side
of our daily path, we need fear nothing.
The experience of all teaches the truth,
that by keeping the bright side before
them, and never turning back to brood
over the past, and by this means only,
Men may rise on stepping stones
OF their dead selves to higher things.

PRINCESS OF WALES.
How She Manages Her snndringhnm
Kennels nnd Personally Looks
After Her Pets.

The princess of Wales has an
nristocratic love of fine animals. She
l.. greatly interested in all full-blood
stock from the brood of white Brah-
mas given to her 80 years ago by the
queen, to the cream-white horses
which draw her to Windsor on days of
great state. y
One of the things which the prin-
cess loves best about Sandringham,
her country home, is that there she
has kennel of dogs in which there
nre many of the finest of all the best
breeds of England. And it is the
daily delight of the princess to visit
the kennel alone, or in company with
her husband, to frolic with the dogs
or carry them the MONDAY meal of
dainties for which they soon grow to
watch.
The plan of the princess kennels
is n good one. when there are sew
'eral select breeds to be kept separate.
There is large building fitted up
with small Lighthouses which are in
turn inclosed in different rooms each
one of which is as big as an ordinary
barn, so that each breed has barn
of its own fitted upwith kennels. Then
all are so arranged that they can be
opened into each other and thrown
into one.
The dogs play about in their own
separate apartments or barns in bad
weather, or run out into the little
yards provided for them. But once
day, when the princess visits them
or when company comes to Sandring'
ham, then the doors are all thrown
open and the dogs rush out into the
big light room which is known as "the
kitchen" When their meal-time is
over, and they are no longer upon in
spection, they return to their OWL
separate kennels in answer to tn,
call which the hound master gives
and are in separate barns once
more.
All of the dogs are admirably
trained and when they are placed or
ale, as becomes necessary once il
awhile when their numbers becomes
too great, they are eagerly bought BY
hunters and dog seekers who wisl
something very intelligent in the dos
species. The pugs, of which there ar,
many, are specially intelligent for tina

health. They should be shaken as often
as possible, as this prolongs their wear;
the dust which collects under them
grinds out the threads. When n car

are injurious to health, and the fumes
affect the throat and lugs. The best

Dressing for the Hair.

A nice dressing for the hair is made
by dissolving half an ounce of the best
white wax in seven ounces of almond
oil. When nearly cold add IL drops of
essence of almonds or 90 drops of lem
on, or, in fact, any perfume that you
fancy. To arrest the falling of the
hair and 10 promote new growth mix
two wine glasses of deodorized paratfin
with three parts of glass of rum. Rub
this into the scalp. A little sweet olive
oil rubbed into the hair of person
whose scalp has little natural oil is an
excellent occasional treatment. One
should never allow the hair TO get too
dry, for the hair becomes brittle,
breaks at the end and loses al of its
gloss.

come the pet dogs of English royalty.
The pup that disports himself about
the morning rooms of the queen is
said to understand all ordinary dog
commands in three languages, Ger
man, French and English
When the princess of Wales goes
ont to the dog kitchen to feed her
dogs, she wears big apron of white
muslin or of light dotted stuff. The
apron is plainly made, except for n
few tucks, and 4 neat bib; and is big
enough to keep gown from all harm.
AS the princess always wears n tight
fitting black dress in the house. the
apron strings are tied around as neat
waist as can be found in England.
These aprons, by the way, are part
of the present which the princess gets
every year from the sales and bazars
which she opens. And they are also
from the fairs which she helps sup
port by buying generously of their
stock and so adding not only patron
age, but real money also.
A soft felt hat and a pair of dog
skin gloves complete the outfit which
would not seem dressy for the wife of
gentleman farmer, and which any
lady with country home might well
initiate
In the basket which the princess
carries there are pieces of stale bread

A SINGULAR SUIT.
Marcus Braun Secures Judgment
Against Wagner Palace Car Company
on Unusual Grounds.

One of the most singular suits on
record has just been decided in the
city court in New York City, Marcus
Braun having secured a judgment
against the Wagner Palace Car COM
pany for $3.50 as damages for mis-
take made by one of the company's
conductors, who allotted berth al
ready sold to Braun to a woman.
When the error was discovered every
berth in the train was sold and Braun
was compelled to sit in the smoking
compartment during n trip from
Cleveland to New FORK City. When
Braun bought his coupon for the
berth he left his luggage in the seat
and went to the smoking compart-
ment. He did not return for two
hours, according to his own story, but
when he did he found the berth made
up and occupied. The comments of
the other passengers so injured his
feelings, he says, that n money COM
pensation is due him, he alleges. The
woman in the berth produced cou-
pom which was an exact duplicate OF
the coupon given to Braun.
