mont's limited experience, consisting
of a service of 81 days in the United
States senate
In the great campaign of 1880 they
tried the same tactics, which had
proved so successful, to disparage Mr..
Lincoln. He had served but single
term in congress, while Senator
Douglas had for many years enjoyed
a national reputation.
This point was urged in a heated
discussion overheard between an ar
dent supporter of Senator Douglas
and German voter who favored Mr..
Lincoln. The former finally thought
to verwhelm his opponent by saying:
"Who is this Lincoln, anyhow? No
body ever heard of him until Senator
Douglas brought him into notice by
holding joint debates with him. Senator

ten years"
''Vot is dot you say?" was the re-
ply. "You say Meester Dooglas have
had his eye on the presid ent chair for
the last ten years?"
Eyes; that is just what said"
''Vell, you shoost tell Meester
Dooglas eef he keep hees eye on dot

That closed the debate mid roar

Giving Pain to Others.

The world will never be just what
we think it ought to be, and every
body should learn to make allowance
for others deficiencies and drawbacks
Our own personal interests and fee,
ings are not the only ones to be taken
into account.
Think of the pain the habit of fault
finding may give to others. We are
none of us SO selfsatisfed as to be in
different to commentator, and to all
of US there comes som etimes an in
tense longing for encouragement.
Suppose the person with whom we
are finding fault is just at one of these
hard places, and we are helping to
make the burden heavier?
But we don't think of it in that way.
We happen to be in a fault finding
humor, and somebody has to suffer
that we may crafty our inclinations
1t sounds rather selfish and incon-
siderate put in that bald way, doesn't
it? But 1 am sure you will agree with
me that it is often true.

Little Things That Count in Dressing.

Little Things That Count in Dressing.
The skirts this season are decidedly
shorter than they wer last.
Rough and loosely woven materials
are the most popular for the time be-
ing. They range in price from seven
ty-fve cents up.
Linen collars are from two inches
and quarter to two inches and half
wider than they were last season, and
the turnover designs are preferred.
Black velvet belts are quite fashion
able, and will be worn with both silk
and cashmere waists. Leather belts
should not be worn with silk waists.
The new sleeves are made fat and
tight to the elbow. From the elbow
to the wrist they are slashed, pulled
and plated into many sorts of fulness,
but invariably finished with snugly
buttoned cuff.
Collars and stocks. The little turn
over collars are this season edged
with corded linens and are made in
every possible shape. Stocks and
collars are made with double bows,
which are lined with contrasting col
ors.-LadieS' Home Journal.

Going up and down Stairs.

Walking up and down stairs can be
made an excellent exercise for devel-
oping the muscles of the leg from the
hip down, and giving a good poise to
the body, if performed in the correct
and easiest way. AS usually done,
with the body thrown forward at the
hips, the heel of the foot constantly
striking, the poise of the body is lost,
and great strain is put on the back,
tending to increase the nervousness
of the housewife. If the body is car
ried well poised, upright from the hips,
the ball of the foot striking the stair
first, the knees being flexible, both in
ascending and descending, all the
good effects are obtained, and if much
stair climbing is done there will be a
great difference in the feeling of vital
ity. Ascending stairs rapidly by
springing from the ball of one foot to
another forms an excellent means of
strengthening the ankles and curing
a tendency to fat feet.
The following exercise is excellent
as nerve and muscle rest in change
of position: Lying at full length on
the back, raise the arms forward, up
ward over the head, then stretch the
whole body from the toes to the tips
of the fingers. Hold this position for
a few seconds, then relax completely.
Repeat several times.-Good House
Keeping.

we may expect to find such men
always.

Some Facts about Boiling Water.

1t may seem presumptuous to sug-
gest that few people know how to
boil water, but such is the case. The
boiling point, under ordinary atmos-
pheric pressure (sea leveD, is 2l2
degrees Fahrenheit, and it is at this
temperature that we cook meats and
make soups. When the bubbles begin
to form on the sides and surface of
the vessel and come toward the top
of the water, there is a motion in the
water but it has not really reached
the boiling point. It is only when the
thermometer reaches PIP degrees
Fahrenheit and the water is in rapid
motion that it can be said to boil; and
the atmospheric gases still continue
to be given off with the steam for a
considerable time after the water has
commenced to boil rapidly; in fact, it
is difficult to determine when the last
traces have been expelled. 1t is safe
to suppose, however, that ten min
utes' boiling will free the water from
its gases, make it tasteless, and rem
der it unfit for the making of tea, cof-
fee or other light infusions of delicate
aterials.-Lddies' Home Journal.

Keen the Farm.

This year has been good one for
the farmers of the country, and the
old cry that farming does not pay will
have to be dropped. The farm value
of this years crop of wheat, corn,
oats, rye, barley, flaxseed, potatoes,
hay, apples and cotton is 50, 532, 600, 600.
This is more than the census of 1890

products and does not include many
products of the farm such as milk,
butter, live stock slaughtered, or gar
den truck. 4 farmer who isn't stag
gering under heavy mortgage is far
more independent than the average
merchant or professional man. Some
day the farmers in the back towns of
Vermont will by means of the electric
roads be brought in close communi-
cation with centers of trade and better
markets for the products they raise
be opened. If you own farm, hold
on to it.-White RiUer Junction Land

Never GIVE Up.

If you cannot do all you would like
to, co the best you can. IF your par
ents cannot afford to give you thor
ough education and you are not able
to work your way for yourself, don't
give it up and sit down to life of ig-
norance. There are many ways in
which you may do much to educate
yourself, and if you will you may yet
fit yourself for high position in the
world. Make the best use Of the
means that come in your reach, and
whatever you learn make it thorough
ly yours. Never be discouraged be-
cause you cannot climb to the noun
tain top all at once. Halfway up the
steep side you would have a much
better view than if you remain where
you are-doWn in the valley. Climb
as high as you can, but be sure that
you climb. AS you look around you
and see the needs of the poor and
destitute and your heart yearns to
relieve their wants, be sure that you
do something. A little may go
great way with one who is hungry
and cold.

Building and Loan Associations Safe.


These peoples banks, the most
bene1cent outgrowth thus far Of the
cooperative idea in the United States,

tions, distributed throughout every
state and territory, and represent
savings amounting to over 81, 900, O0O,-
900. Laws regulating their manage
ment differ in different states; but
however their external features may
vary, the great principle of coopera-
tion-mutual helpfulness by the work
ing together Of individuals for Joint
benefit or common good as opposed
to selfish competitive individual effort
remains unchanged. Investment
in building and loan association is
as nearly absolutely safe asst can be-"
to quote from an exhaustive report
on the associations of this country

had for the asking; "for the monthly
dues and accumulated profits, which
