THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Should Keep Their Own Feelings In
Healthful Condition for the
sake Of Their Children.

It is kind provision of nature that
the mother may exercise such con-
troll over her child's organization that
her forethought can shield it to large
extent from the effect of it's fathers
physical defects, as we'll as from her
own, says Florence Hull Winterburn,
in Woman's Home Companion.
A mother should therefore keep her
own feelings in such healthful con-
dition that their strength shall not
degenerate. She should cultivate hope
and aspiration, courage and cheerful
ness; avoiding those feverish ambi-
tons and anxieties which waste nerve
substance rapidly. Steady and cheer
full application to duty, the practice
of temperance, kindness and generos-
ity are the bright fame in the mother
soul which shall give heat and light to
the better nature of her unborn child
Should she not attach herself to whit
is beautiful and good when the beliefs
and wishes of a single day in her life
may echo down the ages? This is sim
ply an imperative duty that she owes
to herself, to her child and to society
Some day, let us hope, the world will
understand this matter, and then
mothers will realize the premature
duty they owe to their unborn chill
dren, for whose chances in life they are
responsible.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR FRIENDS.
atty and Do Not Expect Too
Much In Return,

The less you exact of your friends
the more they will give you. writes
Helen Watterson Moody, of 1.-THE First
Tragedy in Girls Life" in Ladies'
Home Journal. For yourself give as
richly and as nobly as you want to
of your love and your confidence and
your loyalty. Live up to your highest
ideal of what friend should be land
the higher you make that ideal the
finer woman you will be and the more
friends will flock to you), but never
exact of your friends that they shall
give you more than they choose easily
to give, If some one you love disap-
points you, and as many, many more
will do in days to come, do not hold up
your ideal of what they should be and
do as a mirror in which to count their
imperfcctions. Let it pass, if you can,
with little smile that may be sad, but
need not be at all satirical. And never
be jealous of a friend if you want to
keep one. If anybody you are fond of
forms other friendships, or seems to
be cngrossed with other friends, do
not let It make You unhappy, and above
oil never offer comment upon her all
too evident neglect of her old friends
for her new ones.

Orixin of Blanket,

"Now an enterprising burgess OF
Bristol began to introduce into Bris'
toll q new manufacture, which eventu.
ally gave him q name and immortal
lied his fame. Thomas, henceforth
known as Thomas Blanket, (blan.
Ghetto, white cloth), set up looms
in his house and hired weavers to make
a better kind of fabric Ii. e., superior
to bluett, russell faldings, and a striped
cloth for servants called Bristol cot.
ton), bleached in the wool, close
woven, almost like felt, and fairly wa.
ter-proof. As matter of course,
there was an cutlery against this, tho
authorities, and the weavers in par
ticular, not liking to see foreign and
better skilled artisans brought into
their town. So the mayor and bailiffs
levied a rate upon them for setting up
their machines. The king, however,
had more perspicacity than they, and
by the following letter relieved the
Young manufacturers of the impolic
(sic) burden. 1t is addressed to the
mayor and bailiffs. (Here it is given,
in extenso.) At considerable length
it DEGREES that no let or hindrance 10
10 be given to Thomas Blanket and
others, burgesses of the said town
Of Bristol; that they shall erect such
machines as they like, and there shall
be no hindrance nor reproach (calum-
nia) given them for thus doing."-

FRIL1s OF FASHION.
Fresh Flncry for Feminine Follow
w- ers of the Latest In
.&'e&F Dress.

The foundation skirts of the new
thin gowns get the fluffy effect around
the feet from a two-inch pinked ruche
set on the edge of the plated ruff1e,
says the New York Sun.
The new shirt waists are varied In
deed; but the variety is accomplished
mostly by the modes of trimming and
the great diversity in material used.
The bishop sleeve, in q modified edi-
ton, prevails and the yoke has disap-
pcared altogether. No embroidery is
200 fine for the dainty white waists,
and there are chemisettes, and vests,
dndersleeves and frills to make them
dressy.
The Aiglon shirt bears out the name
quite as we'll as any, but the material
used is so exquisitely fine that it hard
ly suggests a shirt. Finest white
batiste sheer and soft tucked all over
in quarter-inch tucl<s make very pref
ty Aiglon shirt. It is full and long in
front to give the full blouse effect and
ties down from the under arm seam in
stead of being sewn into belt. Down
one side of the front there are two
gathered frills Of batiste either with
hemstitched or lace edges. If pre-.
fer one of the frills may be of blue
pink or red batiste, and they are fully
three or four inches wide.
Small buckles used as slides on silk
bands and velvet ribbon are one fea'
ture of dress decoration.
Pretty white gauze scarfs dotted
over with printed flowers in natural
colors add novelty to the department
devoted to neckwear. Scarfs of every
kind are in demand, and another pref.
ty variety is in thin white silk with
chine borders. Others are striped with
cashmere designs.

The way to Force Plants to Branch.

There Is only one way IN which a
plant can be forced to branch, and
that is by cutting of the stalk. The
plant thus interfered with will make
an effort to grow, and either a new
shoot will be sent up to take the
place of the lost top, or several
shoots will be sent out along the
stalk. II but one starts cut it back.
Keep up this cutting-back process
until you have obliged as many
branches as you think are needed.
Persistency and patience will oblige
the plant to do as you would like to
have it do.-Ladies' Home Journal

If YOU are fortunate enough to

Debating Le8ge.

the purpose of improving rhetorical
work in the high schools. The state is

districts, and the various high schools
in each of the districts will debate
among themselves until one is finally
chosen as the leader. This high school
will enter in the general contests, by
means of which the contest will be

are left in the competition for the
championship honors. This final de-

Gypsies.

Ten thousand gypsies are coming to

Midway district they will hold q mid
summer matrimonial convention. Hun
dreds of bands of these nomadic peo-
pie are expected, and the king of the
gypsies, Isaac r. Wells, who is now in
Iowa, says there will be the largest
gathering of the people Of that strange
race that has ever taken place in the
United States. The principal reason for
the gathering, King Isaac says, is that
the young people may get acquainted
with others belonging to the race, so
that the young women and young men
may marry without going outside tho
clans,

the subsequent colossal development
of the Lima bean industry.
The latest process in harvesting IL
to cut the plants, three rows at a
time, by means of machine fitted
with knives, which pass horizontally
over the surface of the ground, the
implement being drawn by team of
horses. In view of the erstwhile
thrashing floor, the plants are run
through a steam grain separator,
which method not only economies
in time. but obviates all waste or dam
age to the product.
Not the last interesting feature OF
the Lima bean industry is the extern.
sive teaming necessary to transfer
the product from the great ranches
to the seaport and railway shipping
stations. The wagons employed are
ponderous affairs, somewhat resem-
bling the prairie schooner of early
DAYS. and so immense are the loads
carried that frequently teams of q
dozen draught animals are required
to haul them.
The common valuation of land suit.
ed TO the cultivation of Lima beans is
necessarily high, from the fact that
almost every acre of land available
to the industry is being utilized, and
is. therefore, difficult to purchase.
When, occasionally, transfers are ef-
fected, the bare land brings in this
neighborhood of 5000 an acre. And
when it is considered that the aver
age acre of the lima bean country
