A Plan That Failed.

"My wife is mad and l don't blame
her, and Ill tell you why said Jones
yesterday. "Wc have kept house for
twenty years, and figure that during
that time we have had at least eighty
hired girls, good, bad, and Indifferent,
but mostly bad. Several years ago
Mrs. Jones was fortunate enough to
secure jewel Of girl; but she was
indiscreet enough to brag about it
around the neighborhood, with the re-
suit that one of the neighbors cnticed
her away, under the promise of paying
her higher wages, and my wife has not
forgiven the woman that did it to this
day. Ever since she has had dream
that some day she would be lucky
enough to draw another prize in the
hired girl market, and when she did
she had her plans all laid to keep her.
"Well, the other day the jewel was
secured, and Mrs. Jones simply hug
gcd herself with delight when she re-
allied what a treaure she possessed.
"The girl had only been with us one
week when Mrs. Blank, one Of our
neighbors, called and casually remark
ed that she saw that we had another
girl.
"Yes, answered Mrs. Jones, with
sigh. I'm only going to keep her
till can get another. She is simply
unbearable! She is insolent, lazy,
slovcnly, impudent, and doesn't know
enough to start the kettle boiling.

Women Won't Measure.

The butcher, the baker and the
grocer were quick to learn the lesson
cf the scales. The farmer learned
many years ago that the market value
Of cate and sheep depended, to large
degree, upon the quantity and kind of
food the animal was fed; that, how
ever carefully he might measure the
food he provided for his focks and
herds, the only satisfactory way to
judge of the results Of his feeding cx-
pcrimcnts was by the gain or loss Of
his animals in weight. All this the
scales unerringly determined.
Unfortunately, the housewife has
not been SO quick to recognize the use
fulness .of this instrument. There
seems to have been more or less de-
fined feeling that any woman who had
a cup and spoon could measure all
that was necessary. Besides, has not
every family its traditional Aunt
Betsy, who apparently scorned all
measuring and reduced the most ap-
petizing results by taking pinch OF
this and handful Of that, stirring
until it Cooked right" and cooking
until done?" 1t is my private opin-
ion that these capable Aunt Betsys,
who judged so much by the ''sight Of
the eyes AID "the feel of the thing"
unconsciously fostered the notion that

Had to Part With Billy.

There once lived on old curmud-
goen whose wealth consisted principal
ly of his flock of sheep and his two
sons. Now, one of the latter was
noble, generous, whole souled fellow,
whose kind impulses led him into COM
pany aud TO acts Of kindness, and he
evidently set little store by wealth.
The other was gripall, just like the
father. The old man, being upon his
deathbed, called .he latter and said:
John, you know your brother is a
goodnatured, easy fellow, and when
he gets his share of the property will
squander it away. But never mind,
John, do you divide it all fairly with
him." To which John assented, and
the old man died.
With haste John proceeded to make
division. In great flock Of sheep
there must, Of course, be many indif-
ferent sheep.
These John carefully selected and
placed in one pen, and with them an
old ram known as Billy. Tie best Of
the flock he placed in another pen.
Between the youngest son and Billy
the warmest affection existed, dating
back great many years, and by this
affection the crafty John calculated to
work off all the Indifferent and value
less portion of the flock upon his
brother.
Brother, our father is dead, and he
charged me to divide everything fairly
with you. and I have tried to do it..
Brother, there is one pen, and Billy is
in it, and there is another; take which
you choose
On seeing Billy, he gave shout and
jumped into the pen, commenced his
usual playful tussle, and when he had
fairly fatigued himself stopped short
and thus addressed himself:
"Billy, you and l are old friends.
Many rough and tumble we have
given each other, many an hour we
have spent together. Billy, / love you
like a brother. Billy, it would al
most burst my heart to think Of separ-
atiug from you, but" Cooking all

Exaggeration.

Exaggeration is commonly held to
be the special vice Of schoolgirls.
Their brothers, however. are seldom
wholly free from the habit, and, in
fact, few of US are really accurate in
speech. Even in old times, when the
line between fact and fancy was drawn
with more severity than now, our good
Puritan ancestors occasionally slipped
across it to the wrong side.
An anecdote is related Of one excel
lent divine who essential truthful
ness was unquestioncd, but whose
tongue ran into excesscs disturbing to
his congregation. In the ferver of
discourse, his facts had way Of ex-
panding and increasing almost beyond
recognition, SO that he was constant
ly saying things which, viewed in the
after light Of cold criticism, were not
true. At last deputation was sent
to demonstrate with him.
He was greatly distressed, and readi-
ly promised to exercise more care in
the future; but before long he erred
again, carried away by his own elo-
quence, and second deputation arriv-
ed. Again he promised amendment, but
again, after little while, he back
slid, aud third committee was sent.
The good man was thor ,ughly shock
ed and repentant. He admitted every
thing.
II know but too well," he pleaded,
that my bosetting sin is exaggo1ation,
but at least it is failing with which l
struggle. / have shed over i. bar. els

Then one deacon laughed and one
groaned and the minister looked in-
nocently from one to the other to see
what was amiss.
He was never demonstrated with

that even good man may have an in
corr;gib,c fault. Youth s Companion.

Beauty's Gravest Foe.

Bad temper and worry will trace
more. wrinkles in one night than hot
and cold bathing and massage and
complexion out brushes and creams and
lotions can wash in year g faithful
application. Physicians assert that
an immense amount of nerve force is
expended in every fit Of bad temper;
that when one little part of the ner-
vous system gets wrong the face first
records it. The eyes begin losing the
luster Of youth, muscles become
fabby, the skin refuses to contract
accordingly, and the inevitable result
is wrinkles, femininity's fercest and
most insidious foe. There is no use
attempting to reason with woman
about the evil of ill-temper, while she
is in an ugly mood. She knows per
fectly we'll that it is bad form; that it
sayors of the coarse and underbred; !;
that it is weak, befitting and immoral,
and that it hurts her cause to lose her
temper. But sac does not stop at
just that time to think about it, and
to remind her Of the fact only adds
fuel to the flames.
But when she is cool and sereue
and at peace with all the world you
can convince her that each fit of tenn
per adds year to her age by weaken
ening her mental force and By tracing
crow-tracks about her eyes aud telltale
lines around her mouth, she will
probably think twice before again for
getting herself. For no matter what
she asserts to tho contrary, woman
prizes youth and beauty above every
other gift the gods hold it in their
power to bcstow upon mortals. - JEo-
