From the Advance.
Work is the best possible antidote
to woe. When in trouble of any kind
go to work with all of your might.
Work when feeling "a little ont of
sorts" is surer cure than any med
icine the doctor can give you. A
busy person is not often troubled
with the "blues" Busy persons sell
dom become misanthropes, anarch-
lists or "firebrands" in the commuui-
ty. There is nothing better tc keep
mischief out Of the head than to keep
busy at something useful. The Sc
cret of success in life is to keep busy,
to be persevering, patient and IN
firing in the pursuit or calling you
are following. The busy ones may
now and then make mistakes, but
it is better to risk them to be idle and
inactive. Keep doing, whether it be
at work or seeking recreation. Mo-
ton is life, and the busiest are the

Beautiful Lace.

A new exquisitely patterned hand
made lace has been discovered, or,
rather, invented, that promises to win
popular favor with womankind. 1t
comes from a Buffalo convent, where
the nuns have experimental so sue
cessfully in its manufacture that large
orders have been taken for yOkes, bo-
leros and the entire robes that are the
most elegantly beautiful gowns that
woman'S wardrobe can boast. A very
pretty story comes from the convent to
the effect that n young woman who
was very i'll and in the care of the sis
tiers became a convert to their faith
while awaiting death from an affection
of the lungs. She recovered and dur
ing her convalescence learned the prin-
ciples of lacemaking, of which she had
known nothing before. Almost like an
inspiration she conceived wonderfully
beautiful designs and stitches until
the astonished nuns found that new
lace had been added to the real laces
known to needlewomen. The patient
grew we'll under the nuns care and
has since created the industry which
promises to make the convent as ia
nous as some of those of the old world
from which came these dainty films Of
priceless weaving to deck the modern
woman as they did her mother before
and to be handed down TO generations
to come.

PERFUME AND DISEASE.
Nature Practical, Not POetical, In
Scattering Sweet blossoms.

Scattering SWEEP blOsSOm8.
A French physician has decided that
perfumes prevent people from taking
certain diseases. During an epidemic
his attention was attracted to the fact
that persons who constantly used per-
fumes escaped taking the disease. But
he found that the more delicate per-
fumes like violet lavender, altar OF
rose, We're more efficacious than musk
and strong, rank essences.
Beccaria, the famous Italian botan-
list, long ago advised city officials to
plant trees and shrubs with odorifer-
GUS blossoms or fragrant leaves along
the highways, courts and parks OF
cities, because these strong odors pro-
duce ozone, and thereby purify the air
and make the city more healthful to
human beings confined to city streets
or narrow, sunless courts and alleys.
Indeed nature teaches us some of her
delicate mysteries and farreaching
processes when she plants tuberoses,
orange trees, the night blooming ce-
reus and other shrubs and blossoms
with such rich and oft well nigh over
towering odors in tropic lands to neu-
tralize the danger of fevers and mala-
ria arising from dense vegetation or
damp, unwholesome marshes and rlv
ers.
Who of us can resist the charm to
the senses of great masses of white
and purple lilacs with countless bees
murmuring round the fragrant spikes
of blossoms-the pure, delightful per-
fume not too strong in the open air
under the radiant sun of May? And
lilacs are so vigorous, are easily grown
on any soil and very long lived. Only
an expert could tell how old some lilacs
on a great-grandfather's old place are,
with the gnarled trunks and vigorous
masses OF green and blossoms in May.

On Which Side?

The republican platform. says the
Atlanta Constitution, stripped of sur
plusage, means:
Imperialism instead of constitution
alism.
Constant wars abroad.
The mastery of com bined wealth.
The degradation Of the citizen.
The democratic platform means:
The supremacy of the constitution.
Peace for the citizenI
Individual opportunity in the race
of life.
Every citizen q king in his own
house.
On which side? On the one will
rally the trusts. the political interests,
the classes. On the other will be
found the people who must live at
home. and toll and work, in order to
meet the exactions of those who IA

public.

raises Americans to their feet and
makes them shout and wave their
hats.
Imperialism began after the Span
ish war was ended. Then came the
attempt of the republican administra-
ton to erect the Philippines into q
colony of the United States. Then
came the attempt to govern without
the consent of the governed against
which the united American cello lies
protested in 1875 in their decls "a ton
Of independence. Then came the
Philippine instruction, with the pros
pect of perpetual milltarism and it's
attending evils.
Had the administration after the
ratification of the treaty of Paris pur-
sued the plan outlined in the demo-
cratic platform, had it frankly stated
its object to give the Filipinos first q
stable government, next independence
and finally protection from interior
ence by foreign nations, the insurrec-
ton would never have arisen.

Equality of Wages.

Miss Honor Morten, the well known
English woman and member of the
London school board, in a recent vol
ume about Questions For Women"
sums up woman's position in the
scholastic world, the Industrial world
and the official world. "And to what
ever point her survey is directed" says
the London Daily Mail, "she is able
TO point to immense progress achieved.
We have women guardians, women
members of school boards and in some
places even women members of parlia-
ment, although it will be long doubt
less before we shall see a woman get
up to address the speaker at st.
Stephens. AS for women teachers,
they threaten to GUST the men from
the scholastic profession altogether. AS
regards the knotty question of wo-
mems industrial labor, Miss Morten
strongly advocates n leveling up in
the matter of wages. If men would
only combine with the women to raise
the standard of wages for the latter,
we should not hear, she thinks, of wo-
men underselling men. Doubtless the
reason of the lowness of women's
wages is to be found to a great extent
in artificial restrictions on their labor
and other accidental circumstances.
The addition of 4 certain number of
workers to those already seeking en-
ployment certainly does not necessarily
cause a decline of wages. To suppose
otherwise would be to suppose that
people must be twice as well off in a
town of $1,000 inhabitants as they are
in one of 10000"

clerk of Vernon county, Mo. She is

She succeeded her husband in the po-

Governor Stephens devolved the duty
of appointing a new circuit clerk for
the remainder of the term. He cast
about him for a candidate, but could
find none so eligible as the handsome
and energetic young widow.
Mrs. Brady had intelligence, system
and tact. There had never been a more
efficient circuit clerk. The politicians
grumbled, but the public rejOiced.
