tinguished fer their keen sense Of
humor II is said Of Washington that
he he was wanting in humor hut in
his biography by Hapgood II is found
that he was not too serious.
Another great man who has been
thhought 70 be wanting in humor is
William +. Gladstone. Without any
doubt during many OF his debates he
reducedd the opposition aud carried
his measures by sudden touches
Of humor.
No man could have been more
shinere and earnest than John Bright,
yet he was the master of humor
Abraham Lincoln could apply his gift
of humor to the practical purposes OF
life. He could reduce some opposing
question TO ridicle by his queer com
parsons. Close studying his life,
trace how this gift Of humor was a
source of recreation to him curing the
darkest hours of the civil war making
his whole career altogether different
from what it would have been had ne
not possessed humor.
/ have not mentioned any known
humorist because it would be as-un-
necessary as to say that a great mu-
stefan must have sense OF music, or
a great painter an eye for outline and
color. merely want TO show that
humor ought to be cultivated as one o.
the main elements of life am conf
dent that the more closely and deeply
the question is studied from the history
of any time and from all that we
know of the lives of great men the
more clear it will be come that humor
may be considered as one of the es'
sential elements of character which
together with perseverance, cleaness
OF purpose, readiness of source and
enduring hopes makes the life to be
desired.

Destroying Moths.

In methods for the riddance of
moths doctors disagree" but all are
agreed that for their prevention thor
ough airings and beatlngs of their
favorlte fabrics are first essential.
A moth will thrive in almost any pre-
ventive if its eggs are allowed to hatch
in the atmosphere, but no moth will
voluntarily lay its eggs in an atmos-
phere that is odious to it. For this rea-
son it is Of little avail to pack cloth
ing or other articles away saturated in
camphor or other preventlves unless it
is first subjected to airings and beat
ings that viii free the fabrics from
any insects Or eggs that may be hiding
in its nap or folds. After every possi-
BILE vestige of insect life is removed,
the articles should be put In alright
wrappings or receptacles with camphor
and other insecticides. Many house
keepers claim that paper is the best
of wrappers for the purpose, but 1t
must be free from the smallest PIN
hole and be closed absolutely tight.
Benzine, according to all authorities,
is the deadliest enemy Of the Buffalo
moth, and should be used freely at its
first approach.

Shirt waists With Variations.

In washable shirt waists, which are
now shown, embroidery Is very con-
spicuous, some Of the white shirts hav-
ing handsome ornamentation Of both
lace and embroidery. The yoke is again
popular, and yoke effects are seen In
a majority of the styles. Some con-
splcuous features Of the new summer
models are the low, straight cut finish
for neck and elbow sleeves Especially
in white waists, the slightly pouching
fulness in front, and the wide ribbon
sashes, with short bows and long ends,
which are worn with them. One Of
the handsomest of these sashes Is deep
ly fringed, having plain satin edges
two inches wide on a four-inch tafreta
centre, with a warp-printed Persian
design twelve inches deep at each end.
The handsome sash is nearly four
yards long, and the design is made IN
several different color effects
A novelty is shown in white silk
waists with linen-cOlored lace inset
over the front beneath a design in
French knots of turquoise and black.
A very dainty waist of the finest
lawn is made with pointed yoke,
formed of very small tucks of
graded lengths fitting into an insertion
OF gulpure which extends more than
half way to the waist. The sleeves to
the elbow are slightly puffed to bead
ing threaded with blue ribbon, which
is tied in a bow.

fronts are becoming to the slim figure

Domestic Training Schools.

Sir William Macdonald, the Montreal
millionaire, who gave S120,00O the
other day for the equipment Of nature
STUDY and domestic science schools in
connection with the Ontario Agricul-
tural College, and who has previously
given immense sums for the promotion
Of education in Canada, has just placed
another $12J,O0 at the disposal Of the
Ontario Government for the establish
ment Of schools Of domestic science
throughout the province. A little more
than a year ago Sir William established
manual training centres for boys III
every province in the Dominion, and
as their beneficial effects were recog-
nized the need of a similar provision
for girls has been strongly felt. The
Countess of Mimic, wife Of the Gov
ernor- General, has been particularly
interested in the subject, and after a
trip to England to get ideas, she sub
mitted a plan to the Ottawa School
Board for the teaching of domestic
science in the public schools Of the
city. Its execution was prevented by
the great Ottawa fire and matters We're
at a standstill, when all dimculties
were removed by Sir William Mac
donald's cneck.

To Clean Old Floors.

In studying the apparently hopeless
floors of some old house remember
that grease and varnish can be re-
moved from them with lye. After
ward wash the lye out well, and wash
over with vinegar. The stain is then
applied, with one or more coats of
filler. Finally rub with sandpaper
and wax, or finish with shellac or var.

Rmbroidcrv suggestjons.

Iurn-OVefS on leaves OF petals Oh
blossoms should be well padded in cot
ton underneath and worked close in
silk Of the lightest tone used in uniform
length stitches-not in long and short
in a slant that iG almost a true
bias.
Some embroideresses do not sanction
padding, but use three or four threads
Of silk to secure the desired raised
effect. For the average amateur a
little padding along the edge worked
over with double thread, and single
thread for the inside of the petal, Sc
cures the most satisfactory results.
The edges Of leaves are always worked
in single thread over a light padding,
as leaves are not to be SO heavy as
flowers.
Padding chould always rwn in the
opposite direction to the over-stitches
Of silk.
No padding should be used under the
edge Of turn-overs, and the stitches
should be worked from the inside of
the petal OF leaf toward the turnover.
This should be done, too, in the case
Of overlapping petals, but ordinarily
the work should be held with the edge
of the petal away from you and the
stitches worked from the edge in.
This makes It easier to keep the slant
Dr grain Of the petal.

Restoring Polish of pulled Furniture.

hestOrlDS EOllbu Oh OulAeh
To restore the polish OF marred and
dulled furniture, vigorous rubbing with
cloth moistened in crude oil will
usually effect the desired result. 1t
should be followed with a similar treat
ment with chamos. White stains on
tables caused by hot dishes can gener-
ally be removed by mixing a little vim
egar with the crude oil and rubbing
the spot until the original color is re-
stored. The acid should be thoroughly
removed with a rubbing Of crude oil,
followed by the dry chamois. Var
nished furniture may be rejuvenated
by a coat of piano or the finest furni-
ture varnish. After the varnish is
thoroughly dry supplement it with
rubbing with crude oil and the dry
chamois. A dry day is the best for
home attempts at vanishing.

To clean linoleum take equal parts
Of cottonseed oil and sharp vinegar,
and rub well with a flannel rag If
the linoleum is very dirty, wash 1t
with soap and water, or water to
which a little turpentine has been
added. Washing soda should not be
used on linoleum, because it readily
attacks oil and paint, Of which this

Matrimonial Phase of Woman in the Industries

greatest in the industrial cities and towns
and lOwest in the places where women have
the least opportunity for employment, and,
Of course, the least opportunity for coming
into social contact with the opposite sex.
Comparisons made some time ago for the
census year 1885 showed conclusively that
the presence Of women in industry in large
numbers did not in Massachusetts reduce
the proportion OF births or marriages, nor
increase the number Of deaths in the cities
and towns wherein they were most numer-
Gus. For in fifty cities and towns having
large percentages Of women at work, with
64.39 per cent Of the total population, there
were $3.50 per cent Of the births, 69.lS per
cent Of the marriages and but 63.53 per cent
Of the deaths.
The percentage OF single females Of all
females was, in 1875, 53.4l, in 1885 53.41,
and in 1895 $3.50, showing no material
changes. The considerable number Of sur
Omaha daily bee., 1902-03-30

plus women here, sometimes alluded to,
comprises not those who have never mar
ried, but is largely widows.
But while this is true, marriage among
women in general in the state has been
somewhat retarded. The average age Of
women making first marriages is now 24.5,
as against 23.5 thirty years ago. and
whereas about 20 per cent Of all women
marrying was then under 20, only about Is
per cent is now under 20. But even this
retardative influence works out Just above
those aged 80. For example, OF all men
marrying, 91.6S per cent were then under
30, as against 9OS3 per cent now, a merely
fractional change.
The figures cited show. however. that the
decline in the general marriage rate In
Massachusetts cannot be directly traced to
the entrance Of women into industry. Who
ever studies the question OF the effect Of the
Industrial employw ent OF women on the
