Renting From Women.

Speaking of the want column" said
an observant man, Il noticed a pc
culiar thing in this connection few
days ago, and there is a bit of good
philosophy behind it in these days,
when women are playi~~ such con-
spicuous part in the affairs of business.
Some person, whether a man or wo-
man l do not know, advertised for
small furnished cottage, and he tackled
this sentence on to the end of his adj
vertisement: Prefer to rent from
man
Here. is "a lesson for you. When
read that 'ad l thought of few little
things which had happened to me
during my own career as a renter. L
do not like to say it, for fear of Of
Tending, and vet it is fact, that L
have never been able to conduct salts
factory rental relations with the female
owner of a house. l might go further
than this and say that l have never
made any sort of satisfactory business
deal with a woman. Plainly they have
all been blunt, fiat failures frequently
ending in perfect whirlwind of I'M
pleasant loquacity, bordering on de-
nunciation, and in bad feeling gener-
ally
They are plausible renters. They
make fine promises. but rarely keep
them. In business women are not re-
liable, so far as my experience goes.
l do not mean to say that they are
wicked and designing in these matters.
They simply promise too much.
suppose it is because they talk too
much. Speaking much while making
trade is unwise if you want the deal to
stick. The short categorical answer is
the thing in business. But you can't
hold MOT11au down to tbic 1111o She
is too fond of talking. One cannot
talk oil day without committing one
self in some way, but women do not
seem to realize it.
''Of course there are some excep-
tons. But looking at the thing in a
general way, am inclined to commend
the wisdom of the man who put the
sentence prefer to rent from a man
after his advertisement. He's right
about it, and evidently speaks by the
card. New Orleans imes-Democrat.

Make Yourself Worthy.

Find out, as early as possible, what
you can best do, and do it with all
your might.
Cultivate a philosophical vein of
thought. If you have not what you
like, like what you have until you
change your environment.
Do not waste you vitality in hating
your life; find something in it which is
worth liking and enjoying, while you
keep steadily at work to make it what
you desire. Be happy over something
every day, for the brain is a thing of
habit, and you cannot teach it to be
happy in a moment, if you allow it to
be miserable for years.
Make yourself worthy of true friend
ship and lasting respect and worthy
love, and, if any of these emotions
seem to prove ephemeral, remember
they were not the realities-the real
ones will come to you since you are
worthy.
Acquire all the knowledge and ac-
complishments possible, and enter in
to studies and sports with all your
energies. They help to round the life
out and to keep the mind fed with a
varied diet, while they open new doors
of pleasure and enjoyment.
Form habit of trying to do some
little act to add TO the comfort and
pleasure of some living thing-man or
beast-every day of your life. If you
do not more than feed a starving cat,
speak kindly to lost dog, or loose the
cruel check of a misused horse, you
have Travelled a step toward happiness,
and have not lived the day in vain.

Pasteur. the Catholic Scientist.

The recent unwilling of the statue of
Pasteur at Dole, France, was an oc-
casion when the sympathy of the
world at large was at one with the
| French people. AS was especially ap-
propriate in the case of the great
Christian scientist, the official cere-
mony was preceded by solemn mass
for the repose of his soul 1t will ever
be the glory of Pasteur that, far from
allowing himself to become intoxicated
like too many mediocre savants by
pride, this French scientist became
only the more firmly attached to his
faith the further he advanced in his
studies; thus furnishing a brilliant
example of the truth of De Maistres
saying: "A little science draws one
from religion; much science. brings one
back into it," But after ALL" Pas
teur was once asked, how do you
reconcile your discoveries with the
teaching of the Bible?' 81 will an
swer you" he quietly replied. when
you have read the Bible and the COM
mentaries of the exegetes." A needed
lesson this for many skeptic who
has not condescended to consult the
apologists for a solution of doubts held
as irrefutable without examination.
And Pasteur added: my studies have
led me to the faith of a Breton farmer.
Had 1 pursued them further, l should
probably have the faith of the Bre-
ton farmers wife" Pasteur's whole
career emphasized the fact that while
experimental science is independent
and supreme in its own domain, there
exists whole order of capital prob
lens, having to do with the origin,
destiny and moral life of man, which
are absolutely above and beyond that
domain; which science is utterly pow
erless to solve, and with which it is
sheer imperinence for science to med

Specially Prepared for Our Feminine Readers

The proper way to apply a skin, food
is through gloves, which can be worn
at night. If one does not want to
sleep in gloves they can be put on in
the afternoon or in the morning and
worn for couple of hours. Those who
like to be charming when they sleep
will object TO the wearing of large
wooden gloves or to the putting on of
kid mittens two sizes too large for
them, and they will be glad to know
that the same results can be obtained
by wearing the gloves for two hours
day.
To make paste that is good for the
| hands take of brandy one cup, of sweet
almond half a cup, of sweet milk a
teaspoonful, of lemon juice two table
spoons, and of sweet almonds, blanched
and pounded to a paste, about two even
cups. Mix all together and spread upon
the inside of the gloves. Put them
on the hands. Tie the gloves around
the wrist and keep on as long as con-
venient
If you want to do the matter thor
oughly cut the gloves up the back,
spread paste in them and get some one
to sew them on your hands for you.
While years age the hands, neglect
will age them much more rapidly. The
hand of a girl of 20 who does rough
work and takes no care of them will
! look as old as those of a society woman
of so. Rough work does not necessar-
lily injure the hands, although it may
damage the nails, but if the, hands are
carefully washed when the work is

Do not use acids to remove spots, but
take a little pumice stone, or bit of
sandpaper, and use a slice of lemon.
Acids will often yellow the hands, even
though they take away the stains, and
in few weeks there will be a settled
discoloration which can be removed
only by time.
Hands that are perpetually moist
show disturbed, state of system, al
though there are those of such high
nervous temperament that the nerves
give this sort of an exhibition. To dry
the hands, wet them in cologne water
several times a day and loosen. the
bands around the body. Tight lacing
will make the hands red and wet, and
tight belt may be the cause of the
disturbed circulation which reddens the

A Use For Old Shoes

Old shoes are not waste from the
standpoint of modern industry. After
they have done their service and are
discarded by the first Wearers a second
hand dealer restores the worn shoes to
something like their former appear
ance, and they are sold again, to be
worn little by the poorer classes.
When the shoes are finally discarded
by them they are still good for various
purposes. In France such shoes are
bought up in quantities by rag deal
ers and sold to factories, where the
shoes are first taken apart and sub
mitted to long processes, which turn
them into paste, from which the ma
terial is transformed into an imitation
leather. appearing very much like the
finest morocco. Upon this material
stylish designs are stamped, and wall
papers, trunk coverings and similar
articles are manufactured from it.

train up the rising generation in the
way it should go. This is an age in
which we hear much of woman's
work, but never let it be forgotten that
the greatest of woman's work is home

are privileged and blessed beyond

Little Etiquette Points.

When you meet a gentleman you
know on the street in company with
another gentleman, you must bow to
the gentleman you know only. The
other gentleman will acknowledge the
bow to his friend by lifting his hat.
If a man steps aside to let you pass,
a bow is Sufficient thanks. If he opens
door or gate you should thank him.
A large number of notes of con-
graduation received by a bridegroom
are from ladies. 1t is not, however,
considered good form for young
lady to writes notes of congratulation
to her men friends. Congratulations
may be spoken, but written congratu-
lations from young girls are not ex-
pected.
Notes written by a bride or bride
groom in response to good wishes
should be very brief-simply expressing
thanks.
If young lady is stopping with a
friend it is customary to have her
name written on the cards of the lady
who is chaperoning her.

Art of Pleasing.

The art of pleasing consists in max
ing our daily lives agreeable to others
as well as to ourselves. To throw a
grain of the ideal and of poetry into
our surroundings is going TO make
them less commonplace and more con-
genial. If a woman has the tact of
making others comfortable then she
is endowed with the gift of making
life happy. The gracious woman shines
through a collection of beautiful quail
tiles. She not only pleases the eye by
her outward air of freshness and
health, but she charms the mind by
characteristic worth. The cultiva-
ton of the physical or the body, pro-
duces the bloom of health; but quite
as necessary in making a woman beau
tiful is the cultivation of the intel
lect which gives her the inimitable at
traction of knowledge. Then there is
the cultivation of the heart which
gives her those gentle graces which
are to her what the perfume is to the
flower.

Cereal Foods.

ing to learn that nearly all of the
best-advertised ones are of pure quail
ity, although not all of them, when
analysed, came up to the standard
claimed for them. Housekeepers should
not make the mistake of thinking that
any cereal food possesses the food
value of meat and potatoes. The real
value of food must depend more up
on the protein it contains than upon
any other single constituent. No cereal
food of all those examined contained
over IS per cent of protein. A man
at moderate work needs more than
twice this amount, combined with fats
and carbohydrates in proportion. The
pamphlet is valuable, Also in that it
points out cereals which are perfectly
proper for persons in health, but in

of the great religious orders has taken
steps to relieve the cities of their
crowded poor: THE. Order of ST.
Benedict has closed a deal whereby it
obtains possession of 100000 acres of
wheat and farming land in the Sas-
katechewan valley. Rt. Rev. Peter En-
GEL the head of the order in the Unit
ed States, says that the intention is
to establish upon this land a German
Catholic colony, for which the order
will erect schools, colleges, converts
and churches. German Catholic farm
ers, mechanics and artisans will be
gathered from Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa and adjacent states

your own fork for removing cheese
from a plate, or for helping yourself
to bread, or any other article served

Keening the Hands shape1n

Next to the color of the skin and the
shape of the nails comes the texture
of the hand and this is one OF the most
difficult things to control. Early in life
the hands begin to grow shapeless.
That plump, pretty condition of youth
disappears. and as the flesh falls away
he ugliness of the hands appears, and
whatever effects existed before now be-
come pronounced.
The change in the hands from youth
to middle age is so slow as to be a.
most imperceptible, but it graduai1y
takes place, and the wrinkled condition
OF the hands of the aged bears testi-
mony to the fact that the hands alter,
even as the face.
To keep the hands from shrinking
and to keep the flesh from disappearing
from them. there should be fed unto
them skin food, which should be APP
Piled every day. This will keep the
hands white, plump and nice in every
respect.
