Heavily laden with the marketings for
her small household, the poor woman en-

spiration stood on her forehead and

For lack of experience many trying

keeper which would gladly be correct
ed If only some kindly friend would
come to the rescue. Take a young girl
fresh from the schoolroom and from
home where there have been servants
enough to do all that is necessary
about the housework, or else from
home where the work of the house has
all been done by mother, and put into
her inexperienced hands the care and
entire charge of a house, what eise
can be expected but that serious mis-
takes will be made and many bitter
tears shed in consequence of her want
OF knowledge. Ninety-nine out OF
every hundred young girls that marry
are totally ignorant of the necessary
care that will fall upon them. If the
other one girl from the hundred has
been fortunate enough to have far
seeing mother, who has taught her
daughter to look carefully after a
household, she should rise up and bless
her thoughtful mother for her wisdom.
Before girl becomes a wife she
should at least be able to oversee the
reasonable directions to the servants,
and in time of need she should be able
to make good bread, roast and broil
meats, know how to make good soups,
few simple desserts, and, above all,
know how to make good coffee. From
this simple beginning she may by care
and watchfulness, become good man
ager of the household stores, even if
the necessity of doing the cooking
never happens to fall upon her.
have heard mothers say, oh! the
cares of life will fall soon enough upon
her; let her have free foot while she
can, and when she marries she will
soon learn In consequence of this
mistaken kindness her daughters have
everything to elearn when the cares of
a home fall upon them, and in conse
quence Of their lack of knowledge
many bitter tears are shed, dollars are
wasted by her mistakes, and in large
majority of cases an unhappy home
and wretched~ surroundings are the re-
suit. Her daughters are left to grow
up in the same way, and, in conse-
quence of their mothers ignorance,
matters 60 from bad to worse. There
are many, eof course, who have too
much pride to- allow matters to 60 on
in this way, and to these great credit
should be given, for they have shard
fight, and will deserve the. victory
when it has been won. Every mother
should teach her daughter the, rudi-

Women Not Money Makers.

IL Harper's Bazar, Hetty Green, the

women are not money-makers. She
says: "In the first place, woman is

Emergency Trolley Gong.

With the universal practice Of STOP
ping trolley cars at intersecting
streets only, the danger arising from
the inability of the conductor to sig
nal the motorman so that he can stop
instantly in case of accident has be-
come very great. Accidents frequent
ly occur from the clothing of
passengers catching just as they
are alighting, or passenger,
in alighting, may stumble, and
it is often impossible for the
conductor to communicate quick
ly enough with the motorman to en-
able him to stop the car in time to
avert perhaps serious accident. To
remedy this a gong has been so ar
ranged SO that pull of ordinary
strength on the bell cord only sounds
the usual go-abead or stop signal, but
when the pull is very strong, another
cheaper, which gives totally differ
ent sound, is brought into action
This has the advantage thai when
excited or suddenly alarmed, one nat
urally gives the bell cord an unusual
ly hard pull.

ORIENTAL QUEUES.
China men We're Made to Wear Them
IN the First Place.

IN the First Place.
The following gives the origin of the
queue. The early Chinese allowed the
hair to grow all over the head. They
did not cut it, but wore it bound upon
the top of the head, secured by one or
more long wooden pins. In 1927 how
ever the Manchus issued an order that
all Chinese under them should adopt
their style of hairdressing as a sign Of
faithfulness, on penalty Of death. The
fashion thus begun by compulsion is
now followed from choice. AS no man
can safely undertake to shave the top
of his own bead, barber is required
daily. Those who cannot afford to
have one come to the house go into
the street and sit on the box of the
stroIling barber to have face and head
shaved, ears cleaned, eyes swabbed out
and queue braided. Whiskers are sell
dom worn, except by some of the man
darins of high rank, even by the very
few who can raise them. A mustache
is not considered proper for a man
under forty.

MAGIC OF FIGURES.
Trick In Simple Subtraction That viii
Puzzle Every One.

Puxxlo Every One.
You can never tell what figures will
do. OF course they are truthful, If
properly handled, but some of them
are capable of the most bewiiderjng
antics. Here is method by which
figures may be made to tell secrets in
a way that will astonish those who
are not informed about how to do the
figuring" Ask some person to put
down unknown TO you number COM
posed of three figures (say 1922. Tell
him to transpose the figures (maklng
267) and to subtract the lesser from
the greater. Then ask him to tell you
the first figure OF the result, and you
can tell him the entire number. For
instance, your first number in the
present axample is 762, which trans
posed makes 267. Subtract 267 from
762 and you have 495. The only fig
ure that you are told is 4, the first
of the result. All you have to do is
to subtract from 9, which will give
you 6, the last figure, and the central
figure is always 9. So your number
will DE 495. This is true in all cases
where only three figures are used in
making up number. The central
figure will always be when the trans
posed number is subtrac led from the
original number, and the two end
figures when added together will make
9. So, knowing either the first or last
figure of the result, you can give the
entire number.

NO LONGER A MAVERICK
A Girls Explanation of the Baptismal
Service.

Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, giving
his experiences as a missionary, tells
of the baptism of a little daughter of
big cattle owner in Indian territory:
"In our baptismal service we sign those
who are baptized with the sign of the

tie girl returned to school after the
baptism the children pressed her with
ehard questions, desiring to know what
that man with the 'nightgown' on had
done, and if she were now any differ
ent from what she had been before
She tried to tell them that she had
been made "a member of Christ, the
child Of God, and an inheritor of the
kingdom of heaven but did not sue
ceed in expressing the situation very
well, and they pressed her for clearer
explanation. Finally, when she had
exhausted every other effort, she
turned on them, her eyes flashing
through her tears. Well she said,

DESERT LAMBS RECLAIMED.

Productive by Irrigation.

ThOusands OF Acres In tho West Made
Productive by Irrigation.
OF recent years the vast desert plains
of the west that were supposed to be
worthless have been made to produce
abundant crops and the finest products
by means of irrigation. This method
of reclaiming desert lands has been
been put into practice quietly, obut to
the extent that today irrigation has re-
deemed hundreds of thousands OF acres
Of land in the states of Colorado, Ida
no, Montana, Utah, wyoming and Cal
ifOrnia. In Idaho alone over 500 farm
ers water their lands by means of il
rigation ditches-little streams Of wa
ter that cut the farms, up into little
strips surrounded by water. Some of
the canals from which these small wa
ter bitches run are over fifty miles
long. The Waterstha flows down from
the mountain regions in the spring is
preserved in huge reservoirs and given
to the thirsty land in small quantities
during the summer By this means
the land can always be kept moistened
and there is no fear that the crops will
drysup through drought, though there
are long dry seasons when rain does
not fall for weeks at a time.

BEATS HER WHITE SISTERS.
Indian Maiden Who Has Received 1000
Applications for Her Hand.

Applications for Her Hand.
In answer to advertisements insert
ed in eastern papers short time
since, no less than 1000 direct appli-
cs tions have been made by white men
OF all classes and stations for the hand
of an unknown Indian maiden whose
wealth is not known. The white maid
ell who has a dozen suitors at her feet
is indeed a popular belle but this SIM
pie Indian girl has all her pale-faced
sisters distanced. The Indian girl
lives in Kansas and her mail address
is Wichita. She has reached a mar
riageable age and she is looking for
her fortune-for she has fortune, or,
as she calls it, an estate. She does not
want to marry an Indian; nor, evil
IDENTIFY, has she found anyone in that
part of Kansas who strikes her fancy
exactly. She seeks as a husband some
city raised man, who knows a bit
about business, from which it may be
judged that this Indian maiden is in
clined to be thrifty. She. has an idea
that eastern men are of the .brainy
sort and accordingly inserted her mar
riage notice in New York and Massa-
chusetts papers. Replies began to flow
upon her after the first day and she
has a great variety to select from. She
is in no hurry, however, and the white
brave who secures her hand must meet
many requirements.

4 WOMAN HUNTER OF RENown

After Game and Pleasure.

4fs Cardeza Has Travelled 100000 Miles
After Game and Pleasure.
One of the wealthiest women in
America and perhaps the greatest
sportswoman in the world is Mrs.
Charlotte D. NJ. Cardeza, who is al
most constantly touring around the
world on her yacht, the Eleanor. She
Is hunter of Americas big game. the
moose and the caribou, and has shot
as many as six OF the latter in the
woods of Maine alone She, has a
hunting lodge in, that state at Mt.
Kineo, and there she goes hunting
every fall. She frequently hunts in
Newfoundland. Mrs. Cardeza owns a
home at Germantown, a cottage at
Newport, has an estate in the West
York hotel the year round, but loves
best of all the rough pine lodge built
by the men of the Eleanor's crew in
the forest at the foot of Mt Kineo.
The yacht Eleanor is the largest in
the world owned by a woman and Is
palatially equipped. In this she trav-
els everywhere; to China today, to
India tomorrow, and next week, per-
haps, to New York City. The Eleanor's
log shows 100000 miles at the present
time. She has twice steamed around
the world, and the ships papers bear
the custom house seals of nearly
every port known to the seafaring
man. Besides being a pleasure Graf,
the Eleanor is something Of gunboat.
For cruising in the South sea, where
armed pirates sometimes make trou-
BILE, Mrs. Cardeza has armed her float
ing home with az gatling gun, maya
zine rifles and more than one brace Ct
revolvers. The fifty men in the crew
could stand off 5000 cannibals of Po-
lynesia and put them to utter route
in less time than it takes to tell it.
