TACT AND sEIsIsErfss.
When the Forner Is.nclsir4- -the Lat- ter Is Fonnd Be Largely
 in Evpence.

"She's a womaj of tact,f remarked a woman the othlr day in describing woman who hasstood at fhe head of successful wonAn's organization for some time, sites the Philadelphia Ledger, "andthe work she's doing is work that requires a large amount of tact"
 Now, vii somebody please tell us what line 4 work woman may adopt that doesPt require tact? Is the wom- an witholt tact of any earthly use to herself 1T the world in general? Is it possibly for woman to succeed in any undertakings unless she is blessed with ' large amount of tact?
 Whsn you see a woman who has mad failure of anything don't you ususlly find that she's a woman with out tact? In the home, in the social world, in the business world, in any sphere there's nothing which stands the strain of everyday friction like tact.
 If woman is blessed with tact she can accomplish almost anything she uCo1A Co' IC , grace WHICH can De cuItl- vated, although you'll occasionally meet woman who seems so utterly devoid of tact that it seems absolutely impossible to teach her the meaning of the word.
 You'll find her always doing and say ing the wrong things at the wrong times; you'll find her always doing and saying the likes and dislikes of her friends; you'll find her unable to cope with any unexpected circumstances, and you'll try to account for the mat ter by saying: tShe always was lack ing in tact"
 But back of all this there's some thing else. The woman of tact is al- ways a woman who is capable of for getting herself, and really when you look into the matter you'll usually find selfshness is at the root of woman's lack of tact. She thinks of nothing but herself, and forgets all about other people.

Fictitious.

1t is very seldom that we pay much at-
 tention to reports circulated in reference
 to the virtue of a patent medicine, as we have always considered thatreports of this nature were more or less fictitious and got ten up for the purpose of creating a demand from the public. But the publication in various papers of the wonderful results ob- tained from using that famous remedy St. Jacobs Oil, and from the fact that 1t is 8 remedy for outward application only, led
 is to make trials of 1t in our own family. One a case of lumbago of long standing which had previously resisted every form few applications of the Oil. Another was sprained ankle, with severe pain. This was instantly relieved and permanently cured in few days by the use of St. Jacobs Oil, while for severe toothache and neuralgia 1t acted almost like magic, so quickly did the pain depart after the Oil was applied. Our own experience in using the Oil, as above indicated, was so highly satisfactory that we determined in the interest of the gen. eral public to make a thorough local lnveS- tigation among dealers and others who have sold and used St. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing Messrs. Taylor and Go. as headquarters for all proprietary medicines, we called at their Briggate Store, and on making known the he stated that their three stores in Leeds were selling more than a thousand bottles of St. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade was constantly increasing-that 1t was the most popular remedy sold and was highly spoken of by everyone who used its- The Manager said he had heard hundreds of people say they had been permanently cured of rheumatism, neuralgia sciatica, and sim- liar complaints by the use of this famous Oil.

An Old Fashioned Woman

No clever brilliant thinker she,
With college record and degree,
She has not known the paths of fame,
The world has never heard her name,
Home is lher kingdom, love her DOVER
She seeks no other wand of power.
Around her childish hearts are twined
AS round some reverend saint en-
shrined.
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world in good and i'll,
This sad old earth's a brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face;
Her very smile a blessing throws.
And hearts are happier where shs
goes.

Tips for the Fair
Cheap iewelry tells It's own stony.

Cheap iewelry tells It's own stony.
Girls now wear heavy shoes as a
matter-of-fact.
Written visiting cards have no so
cial standing.
Women do more newspaper reading
now than formerly.
High-heeled shoes give women a
mincing sort of gait.
Women like to use French phrases
in conversation. while men take to
Latin.
Progressive euchre prizes are far less
expensive than they were a few years
ago.
A girl between sixteen and twenty
may be said to be eating the white
bread of life.
Reading circles make it impossible
for new books to reach the shelves OF
the public Libraries for general use.
Fashion does not condescend to con-
slider at any length what the thermom-
eter will have to say, and disdains the
responsibility for her victims.
1t is interesting to note that it is
the Russian mink-that which is quite
the beaver shade of brown as distin-
guished from the red brown of the
