SCOLDING IS AN ART.
Do Not Make Amy One Rebuke Long
Drawn Out and Give Each
Hopeful Ending.

The woman in authority should
study consideration of other peoples
feelings The common scold or the
continual Pathfinder is perhaps the
most disagreeable person in the
world, not only unhappy herself, but
making others so.
Scolding, viewed in one light, is
really an accomplishment-that is
when used for the proper correction
of servants and children. If you feel
called upon to deliver a rebul1e to a
servant make it clear to the offender
that your displeasure is justified;
never lose your temper, but be calm
and dignifed, for remember that
your bearing has much to do with the
respect that you are held in by those
under your authority. Never let a
scolding degenerate into nagging,
for if you do you lose all claim for re-
spect from the delinquent and the
person at fault becomes your critic,
and very scornful critic at that.
Let all seedlings be gagged by the
error, but do not make any one rebuke
long drawn out. Give each a hopeful
ending.
When properly administered a mer-
tied scolding quickly bears the fruit
of better behavior on the part of the
offending one.
Many wives have spoiled the good
nature of their husbands by Selling
upon some fault, trivial perhaps, and
constantly dwelling upon it.
Where a home is made unhappy by
a great fault of the husband, if he is
worthy of loving and saving, he is
more effectively appealed to by ten
derness than by denunciation or
scorn. There are many men to-day in
the wrong path possessed of worthy
attributes, who might be saved by
gentle reproof from the error of
their ways, but are only spurred on
their downward course by the unre-
lenting ferceness of a scolding wife.
Those who have been saved from evil
ways bear witness to the efficacy of
the gentle sympathy and loving adj
vice of true helpmate.-N. Y. World.

CARMEN SYLVA'S TALES.
"a Real Queens Fairy Tales" Is the
Latest Book from the Pen of
ROunlania's Queen.

Elizabeth, queen of Roumania,
whose pen name of Carmen Sylvia is
known all over the world, has writ
ten new volume of fairy tales. The
book is issued in half a dozen differ
ent countries. The American transla-
ton by Miss Edith Hoplirk is charm
ing in it's simplicity and grace. George
T. B. Davis has written an enthusiast
tic introduction, in which he tells the
chief points in Carmen Sylva's life.
She is a charming hostess and bril-
liant converse tionalist, being able to
entertain her guests with equal grace
in half a dozen different languages.
The queens literary work includes
novels, poems, dramas, proverbs,
philosophical treatise, and an opera
Iibretto, but she finds her greatest de-
light in writing fairy tales. The
worldwide popularity of these tales
is easily understood after reading her
last volume. The stories are about
children and for children, and their
ideas and imagery as well as their
language are just of the right kind
to hold a child spellbound. The
fairies are of the good and noble va
riety, and their rewards are bestowed
upon the little boys and girls who do
the most unselfish acts. The tales
breathe an elevating influence, yet
their morals are not of the dull or
obvious kind. The moral is part of
the warp and wool of the story.
The supernatural is a subsidiary
element in Carmen Sylva's fairy tales.
Il is used chiefly to give scope to her
own tastes and longings, as when she
creates fairy that changes base
metal into gold to aid in a deed of
kindness, or when she causes a fairy
to help a musician in writing mas
terpiece Her love of the woods, of
birds and flowers, of music and chill
dren and of gentleness and unselfsh
ness is embodied in these tales with
real literary art.
In the concluding chapter Carmen
sylvia explains to her child readers
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1902-01-16

how she came to write under that
name. She tells what glorious times
she had as a little girl playing in the
forest when she would tie her little
hood over her dark brown hair and
with her two big st. Bernard dogs by
her side would race through the for
est, avoiding all beaten paths, and
listen to it's voices. "The forest sang
songs to me-" she continues, (which
/ wrote down afterward at home, but
which l never showed to anyone. 1t
was our secret-the woods and
mine" When she married she had
already written a large volume of
poems and had tried her hand at the
drama and at prose fiction, having
written her first story at the age of
IL and her first play at IA. "But /
knew quite well that it was all very
poor stuff" she says. Not till I was
five-and-thirty did 1 let anything be
printed, and that was only because so
many people took the pains to copy
verses from my scrap book that I
wanted to spare them the trouble and
simplify matters"
She cast about for a name under
which to hide her identity, and de-
cided upon that of Waldgesang, or
Woodsong, which in Latin is Carmen
Sylvae. AS the last word did not look
quite like a real name she took the
liberty of dropping the final letter
and made it Carmen Sylvia. Under
this name she long hid her royal per-
sonality. eff to-day [ come forth
from that shelter that was like the
broad leaves of the silver linden
spread over me, it is because so many
friends, and especially dear children,
have asked it of me, and because /
have now white hair and would so
gladly be a grandmother if only God
lad granted me that blessing"

FOUND AMERICANS BUYING
LAND AT SASKATCHEWAN,
WESTERN CANADA.
A Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon
and Is Well Pleased.


and Is Well Pleased.
Mr.. S. X. Lent was a delegate sent
from the farmers of Allegan County,
Michigan, to Western Canada, to re-
port on the prospects for successful
settlement. His report is as follows:
I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton,
thence east one hundred miles by wag-
on. [ found the country in that vlcln-
ity rich, black loan, varying from -
inches to feet deep; the crops are
simply something enormous; wheat
and oats by actual measurement often
standing feet in height. I have been
a farmer for 40 years, and consider my
self a fair judge of the yield of grain,
and [ saw wheat that would yield so
bushels per acre, and, oats that would
WELD 100 bushels per acre; not one
alone but a good many. AS for root
crops and garden truck, in no country
have I ever seen their equal for all
kinds except corn and tomatoes; the
nights being too cool for these to
ripenwe1l. AS a stock country it has
no equal East Of Edmonton, on the
head waters of the Vermillion River, I
saw hay meadows containing from 10
to 100 acres, the grass standing feet
high, and would often cut to 4 tons to
the acre. From Edmonton I passed
through some fine locations, namely,
Wetaskiwin, Lacombe and other
points.
From Macleod I went to Regina,
thence to Prince. Albert, 247 miles
north of the main line. For the first
so miles is fine farming country, but
the next hundred miles is more Of a
stock country. Then at Saskatoon,
Rosthern and Duck Lake I found some
very fine farming country, SO good
that I found a party of Americans
from Minnesota buying land for them
selves-one party buying 10 sections,
and the other 20 sections of land for
themselves, which they proposed to
improve at once.
I have Travelled over % different
States and Territories in our Union,
and never in my life time have I ever
seen such magnificent crops and es-
pecially as fine a stock country.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 13th.-A seEsa-
tional statement is made by Mr. Ben
jamin Major, whose home is at the
corner of Jane and Hurlbilt Ave., this
city.
Mr.. Major says that he has found
remedy which will positively cure all
Kidney and Bladder troubles. He suf-
fered himself for long time with these
diseases in the most painful form, and
during his illness experimental with
a great many medicines without get
ting any relief. Finally he tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and to his great joy was
cured completely.
The statement he makes seems to
have ample confirmation in reports
being published every day of wonder

order has been reached, and deeds of
indlsputable lawlcssness are btcom-
ing more frequent. In truth it may
be doubted whether since the strike
vas declared a day has passed which
has not been marked by violations ot
the law. The anthracite miners had
a legal right to stop work If tney
