BE AFFECTIONATE AND DON'T
MIND

Charlotte Brontes word of advice
to women, matrimonial wise, is every
bit as applicable today as it was when
it was first written.
81 know that if women wish to es-
cape the stigma of husband hunting
they must act and look like marble or
clay, cold expressionless, bloodless {;
for every appearance of feeling of joy,
sorrow, friendliness, antipathy, adj
miration, disgust, is alike construed
by the world into an attempt to hook
a husband. Never mind.
"Well meaning women have their
own consciences to comfort them, af-
ter all. :, Do not, therefore, be too
much afraid of showing yourself as
you are, affectionate and good heart
ed do not too harshly repress senti-
ments and feelings excellent in them
selves because you fear that some
puppy may fancy that you are letting
them out to fascinate him do not con-
denim yourself to live only by halves,
because if you showed too much aui
nation some pragmatical thing in
breeches might ,S,take it into his pate
to imagine that ,gyou designed to de-
vote yourslife toLhis inanity."

CULTIVATE READING HABIT.


Reading should form a considerable
element in a young woman's recrea-
tom, for not only is it a pleasure
while one is at it, but there is nothing
that will educate one so quickly. One
or two hours day is none too much
to spend with substantial literature
essays, history, poetry, political econ
omy or historical romance-and the
reading habit, once formed, is a joy
forever. Possessing it, one need never
know lonely hour. Ones books are
ones friends, and from the hour or
two spent IN reading one unconscious
ly acquires a studious disposition.
Reading an essay, for instance, you
come across a name or u word that
is either entirely unfamiliar or is re-
membered dimly. The name or word
perhaps appears frequently, and you
naturally wish to read understanding
ly. Your only course to acquire your
end is to spend few moments with
the encyclopedia or the dictionary. In
those few moments the searcher is
certainly richer in knowledge by more
than the information she started out
to find. Such reading cannot help but
be educational and a self search for
information is dozen times more
beneficial than knowledge sought and
gained without personal effort.

Great orators have generally refused TIC
speak on the spur OF thv moment Gn i'm
portant themes. pemnsthencS the king
of orators, would never spenk in Il nuhlic
meeting without previous thorough prep
aration. Daniel Webster when once
pressed to speak on subject Of great
Importance refused. saying that he was
very busy and had no time to master it.
When a friend urged that a few words
from him would do much to awaken pub
lie attention to the subject, he replied, IF
there be so much weight in my words, it
is because do not allow myself to speak
on any subject until my mind is imbued
with it," On one occasion Webster made
a remarkable speech without notes before
the Phi Beta Kappa society at Harvard
university, when book was presented to
him. After he had gone manuscript
copy of his eloquent "impromptu" ad-
dress carefully written was found in the
book, which he had forgotten to take
away.-Saturday Evening Post.

The Spirit of Winter.

The spirit of Winter is with us, making
its presence known in many different
ways-sometimes by CHEEKY sunshine and
glistening SHOWS, and sometimes by driv-
ing winds and binding storms. To many
people il seems to take delight in making
bad things worse, for rheumatism twists
harder, twinges sharper, catarrh becomes
more annoying and the many symptoms
of scrofula are developed and aggravated.
There is not much poetry in this, but
there is TRUTH and it is wonder that
more people don't get rid of these all
ments. The medicine that cures them
Hoods Sarsaparilla-is easily obtained
and there is abundant proof that its cures
are radical and permanent.

APHoRlsMs FROM EMERSON.

Recttude is perpetual victory.
To be great is to be misunderstood.
Self trust is the essence of heroism.
Nature loves analogies. but not repeti-
tons
Men are respectable only as they re-
spect.
Obedience alone gives the right to com
mand
The highest revelation is that God is in
every man.
Sincere and happy conversation doubles
our powers.
No man ever stated his grefs as lightly
as he might
Put God in your debt; every stroke
shall be repaid.
The beautiful rests on the foundations
Of the necessary.
My creed is very simple-that goodness
is the only reality.
The great are not tender about being
obscure, despised, insulted.
omit the negative PROPOSITIONS; nerve
us with incessant afiirmations.
Never mind the ridicule, never mind
the defeat; up again, old heart
The disease with which the human
mind now labors is want of faith.
The good spirit of our life has no hcav-
en- which is the price Of rashness.
The greatest wonder is that we can see
these trees tin Yosemite) and not wonder
more.
The essence OF greatness is the percep
ton that virtue is enough; poverty is its
ornament.
The false prudence which dotes on
health and wealth is the butt and merr-
ment of heroism.

There are two kinds of photographs Of
British royalty taken, those for public
and those for private use. Anybody can
go into a photographers shop and buy
the likeness of the king or queen or other
members of the royal family Cor a small
sum, but there are photos of royalty that
no money can purchase When royalties
desire to present a photograph to their
private friends, you may be sure it is not
one that everybody can buy. Such gift
would confer pleasure neither to the
donor nor to the recipient.

A GROTESQUE FANCY.
The Absurd Idea That 1t Takes

The Absurd Idea That 1t Takes
Money to Run Newspaper.
It takes money to a newspapers John
(Kan) News.
What an cXacgoration! What a whop-
per! 1t has been disproved Il thousand
times. 1t is a clean case of air fancy. Ii
doesn't take money to run newspaper.
1t can run without money. 1t is a chart
table institution begging concern, high
way robber. The newspaper is child of
the air, a creature of dream. 1t can 20
on and on and on when other concerns
would be in the hands of receiver and
wind up with cobwebs in the window.
1t takes wind to run a newspaper. 1t
takes a scintllnting acrobatic magma
ton and half dozen white shirts and a
railroad pass to run a newspaper. But
money Heavens to Betsy and six hands
round, who ever needed money in con-
Quoting a newspaper? Kind words is the
medium of exchange that does the bust
ness of the editor. When you see an edi-
tor with much money, watch him. He'll
be paying his bills and disgrace his pro-
fession. Never give money to an editor.
Make him take it out. He likes to swap.
Then when you die after having stood
around for years and having sneered at
the editor and his Jim Crow paper be sure
and have your wife send in for three ex-
ira copies by one of your weeping chill
dren and when she reads the generous
and touching notice about you forewarn
her to neglect to send 10 cents to the edi
tor. 1t would overwhem him. Money is
II corrupting thing. The editor knows it.
and what he wants is your heartfelt
thanks. Then he can thank the printers
and they can thank their grocers.
But money Scorn the filthy thing
Don't let the editor know anything about
it.. Keep that for sordid tradcspeoplc
who charge for their wares. The Lord
loves n cheerful giver, He'll take care of
the editor. Don't worry about the editor
He has a charter from the state to act as
doormat for the community. He'll get
his paper out somehow and stand up for
you when you run for Office and lie aboht
your pigeontoed daughters tacl.y wed
ding and blow about your big footed
sons when they get 81 per week job
and weep over your shrivolod so1l when
it is released from your ~ 'piag ~
and smile ut your giGdy wifr'S second
marriage. Hc'll get along the Lord only
knows how. but somphow.--GatoSvi.ir
