HYSTERICAL GIRLH0OD.
The Mother Should Remember That
the Daughter Is Not Always
Child.

Parents are apt to lose the sense of
proportion between themselves and
their children. They are made to
keep pace with the growth of ideas
and feelings, and thinking once a
child always a child, there comes a
clash. The paramount will of the
parent exercised for the good and adj
vancement of the child, when the
child could have no will of his own,
must gradually adjust itself to the
growing will Of the child. which
should be developed and guided into
the right manner of exercise, of rea-
son and equity. Unless this is done
the child's nature becomes warped,
and the whole beautiful relationship
of parent and child is thrown out Of
gear.
The mother, says DR.. Grace Peck
ham Murray, in Harper's Bazaar, domi-
mates over the daughter after she has
grown up. 1t is her great affection
for her that causes her to sacrifice
her child's individuality. She would
think for her. act for her yea,
breathe for her if she could. Mingled
with this is a kind of jealousy not sus-
pected, and the last thing to be ac-
knowledged. Under this loving tyr
amy the daughter becomes nervous,
hysterical. sick and dropping. In
spite of the redoubled care of the
mother the daughter grows worse.
The family physician must act if
fate does not otherwise cause the sep
aration, and see that the girl is trans
planted into another environment.
Freed from her mothers too vigilant
care her individuality has an oppor-
tunity to develop, her mind acts, and
in this freedom her bodily equilibrium
is restored and maintained

~ ATTORNEYS SARCASM.
He Easily Nullifed the Judgment OF
an expert" While on the
witness stand.

One of the older members of the bar
tells this anecdote of the late Severn
Teackle Wallis, as Illustrating the clev-
erness and s2rcasm of Mr.. Wallis, says
the Baltimore sun.
Mr.. Wallis was defending the will of
wealthy testator, and, as the lawyers
say. when the estate is large lawyer
will wrestle with a will with a will
4 prominent physician was called to
testify for those contesting the will.
The doctor became restless under the
lengthy and exhaustive croSs-eXamina-
tion Of Mr.. Wallis, and finally he petu-
lantly exclaimed:
"Oh. Mr.. Wallis. 1 believe the tes-
tator was insane?a
Mr.. Wallis kept his temper,
and said. quietly: Doctor, you are
the first person who has ever intimated
in or out of court that the tesyator was
insane Why do you say he was in
sane?"
I believe" the doctor replied. that
every man is more or less insane on
some subject"
Is it your deliberate. professional
opinion Mr. Wallis then asked, "eX-
pressed here in court under oath. that
every man is more or less insane on
some subject?"
"Yes," the doctor replied. Il will
say here under oath that from my
reading, knowledge and experience.
believe that every man is more or less
insane on some one subject
Then Mr.. Wallis said. in that firm
tone of sarcasm for which he was
noted: Doctor; has it ever occurred
to You that you are insane on the sub
ject of insanity?"
Immediately the doctor fired up and
exclaimed: But. Mr. Wallis. am not
insane"
Mr.. Wallis arose and said: Doctor,
according TO your own sworn theory,
YOU must be insane on some subject. l
pronounce you insane on the subject
Of insanity"
Court. jury and spectators laughed
aloud. and nothing more was said about
the testator being insane.

While the country north Of us
is wrapped in a mantle OF snow
and ice, we here in the territory
are basking in the sunshine and
enjoying climate almost semi
tropic in its mildness and ealub-
rity. A hundred miles north OF
us the earth is bound in the
shackles of the frost king, while
down here the blue birds are pip
ing their gentle lay, the first blades
of grass are peeping through the
ground and fields are prepared for
the coming of the corn king. While
boreal blasts from the Arctic go
bowling over the northern plains,
down here in the beautiful Indian
territory gentle zephyrs are arous-

CARE OF THE PLATE.
Follow These Rules IL You wish
Your StlVerwRre to Look
bright and New.

If plate that is in general use is
thoroughly well washed every day
there is no necessity to use plate
powder oftener than once a week.
Soiled plate. when brought from ta-
bic, should be washed in a bowl of
very hot water i'm which a little bit of
soda OF some soap has been melted
When an the grease has been re-
moved dip the articles into q second
bowl of clean hot water. remove them,
dry them with a soft cloth and rub
them with chamois leather before put
ting them away.
The drawer in which everyday plate
is kept should be lined at the bot
tom with green haize. cut large enough
TO fold over the plate when it is laid
on the baize. SAYS the Philadelphia
Press. Plate should be put away care
fully and neatly. an the large forks
together and an the small ones to-
gether. and SO on.
Plate powder gives greater brill
lance IL mixed with a little methy-
lated or other spirit instead Of water.
In the case Of fiuted silver. clean it
with a sitter brush than is used for
plain silver-which is easily scratched.
No spirit should be used with the
powder when plated rims Of polished
wood salad bowls or ice pals are be-
ing cleaned. as the spirit might destroy
the beauty Of the wood.

Neat spoiIs the Ducklinrs

They will stand almost anything, but
they cannot endure too much heat.
One of the most common troubles is
that the ducklings get weak-legged
and almost invariably the poultry pa
pers say that it is too rich feeding that
does it. The minute you begin to over
heat them the legs grow soft and large
so they cannot stand up and the bill
grows so soft that they cannot pick up
food. 1t really comes from too much
heat. They are particularly suscepti-
BILE to the heat of the sun. 1t is al
most invariably a fact that if you let
them get thirsty and then give them
water and let them go into the sun
they will have commissions and most OF
them will die. H. Pollard, in Farm

HE CHASED A GRIZZLY BEAR.
How sheep Rancher in Arizona
Frightened the Animal Out
of It's Wits.

Bears are not the bravest, although
they are among the most dangerous
of wild beasts. They are sometimes
frightened by very trifing occur
rences, and run with all possible
speed to place of safety.
A short time ago an Arizona sheep
rancher was riding in the foothills
when he saw q big, awkward silver
tip. He had a rifle, but was not Ger
tain he could kill the bear at one
shot, and knew that he would get
into trouble if he missed. So he gave
a regular cowboy yell, and the bear
started away in alarm.
The man gave chase, at the same
time keeping up the piercing yell, and
he soon noticed that the grizzly was
getting farther away. He continued
the chase for nearly two miles, until
the bear disappeared in the noun
tains and he had not gained a foot.
In going back along the trail he
noticed places where the bear had
made jumps of Is or 20 feet. and the
ground had been cut up by his claws
so that it looked as if a harrow had
been run over it. 1t is evident that
a man would have no show running
a footrace with grizzly.

SOD POULTRY HOUSE.
For Cheapness, Comfort and Com

Is without an Equal.

Every western farmer may have one
of these comfortable houses with little
cost and acomparatively small amount
OF labor. The sod may be turned at
any time in the year when the ground
is not frozen. A firm, well-grassed sod
is best, but other will do, the only Off
ference being in the length of time
the building will last. The walls are
laid up with bricks of sod about 12x12
inches and laid like bricks with the
exception of the cement, nothing of
that kind being used. The sod is
turned down and the walls are made
"a inches thick, two layers of sod be-
ing used.
Timbers are used above openings
for doors and windows; and castings
are used as in a frame. The roof
should slope about two feet, and
