Beating wears Out Rugs.

It is an excellent thing to keep the
house or apartments always spick and
span, but very frequently the house
wife by too frequent and vigorous
cleaning is apt to do more damage
than good.
The average American housewife
wears out her rugs by continual
sweeping and beating. The plan Of
putting them upon a line every two
weeks or even once a month and there
having them whipped is not to be
commended if the rugs are Of any
value. They should be cleaned with a
carpet sweeper, occasionally put upon
line and brushed and once year
sent away to be cleaned in a proper
manner or else washed at home.

A LaughabIe Trick.

Pick up a sheet of paper and, look
ing around the room, say that you
know that the strongest girl present
would be exhausted before she could
carry the paper out of the room. OF
course no one will believe you, and
you must then ask who will try it.
Some one is sure to volunteer, and you
then give her the smallest piece of
the paper that you can tear off, ask
ing her to take that out first. On her
return give her another tiny piece and
so on. By this time she will see that
she could keep going back and forth all
day and not be through then, and the
best thing she can do is to give up and
acknowledge that the joke is on her.

MISS LOUISE TRAUX.

Church Service.

She Whistles Sacred Music During
Church Service.
Miss Louise TrauX of New York city
devised a novel way to attract congre-
cations to church. She whistles sacred
music during service. Worshipers who
are not fond CT frivolities of any kind
declare that her whistling is SO beauti-
full they cannot believe it to be wrong.
Fashionable churches everywhere are
seeking her assistance. And so, instead
of whistling being a revolution, as the
sedate members of several church con-
gregations feared, it has become most
welcome innovation in the church serv-
ices.
Miss TrauX likes church work, and
whistling in church is as great pleas
ure to her as it is to her listeners. That
is the reason she invented the novel
plan Of attracting people to church.
Her church work is largely confined
to whistling the offertory. Now and
then she will whistle solo for an
evening service, but she prefers the
morning exercise.
When this heretofore unheard of fea-
ture was introduced into the morning
service at a New York church, it Gre
ated a great sensation. The sound Of
a girls clear, sweet whistle, accompa-

The following miscellaneous meas

to prove of service to the amateur who
is going in for homemade cosmetics:
A dram is an eighth Of an ounce.
An average tea or coffee spoon will
hold one fluid dram.
An average wineglass holds two fluid
ounces, a teacup five fuid ounces, a
breakfast cup eight ounces and tum-
bier eight ounces.
A minim is Il measured drop Drops
poured from bottle vary greatly, &C
cording to the size Of the lip Of the
bottle. The dropper, which is to be
obtained at any drugstore, will meas
ure a full drop.
One gram is equal to 10 43-100
grains, and 9100 grams equal one
dram.

Leaf Buds.

Do you know, dear children, that new
branches are developed from buds
growing in the joints of leaves, called
auxiliary tuds? AS the branch pushes
out it bears a bud upon the end Of it
called the terminal bud. Each branch
is the result of a bud which starts out
in the joint and pushes it's way until it
becomes branch. and in turn helps
form a new bud.
Mary Dennis says in a "Study Of
Leaves" "Some people pride them
selves upon their skill in packing
trunks, but Mother Nature eXcels all
her children in this art. She uniquely
folds away a gigantic oak in ar acorn,
and the mightiest branches are tucked
up in a tiny bud!''

Making Ring1ets.

Every mother likes to see her baby
with curly hair, and if it is not natural
ly SO it can be made to grow SO with
very little care. The baby's hair should
of course be washed and brushed every
morning, but when the brushing is
done do not leave the hair smooth, but
with the tips of the fingers rub the
head in little circles from right to left
all over the scalp. This twists the hair
at the roots and produces the much de-
sired curls.

A Problem in Tbrees.

What if three little houses stood in row,
With never fence to divide
And if each little house had three little

At play in the garden wide,
An6 if each little maid had three little
cats
(Three times three times three,
And if each little cat had three little kits.
How many kits would there be?
And if each little maid had three little
friends
With whom she loved to play,
And if each little friend had three little

In dresses and ribbons gay,
And if friends and dolls and cats and kits
Were all invited to tea,
And if none of them should send regrets.
How many guests would there be?

Elder Flower Mater

To make elder flower water pluck
the flowers, cut off the stalks quite
close up to the blossoms and place the
latter in an earthenware jar. Then
cover with water, heat to the boiling
point, strain and bottle for use. Two
ounces of spirits of wine to one quart
of this water will help to preserve it.

The advantage of rates to common
points, which will be made by the
roads into Bismarck, and which are
made to common points on the Mis-
souri, river, will give Bismarck the
opportunity in the near future to be
the center of supply for the country
tributary. The immensely of that ter
ritory and the rapid growth of its pop
ulation is insuficiently realized by
those who have not. made a study of
the matter. The western part of the
state is increasing in population at an
unprecedented rate. With the growth
of this territory, it is not to be sup
posed that the conditions that permit
the principal jobbing centers to be
five, six and seven hundred miles
away will long obtain. Trade and
commerce follow settlement. Where
there is the demand, the source of

and is likely to extend to Bismarck
in the near future. This will make
Bismarck the natural center east and
west and north and south of a gigantic
domain, rich in natural resources, and
awaiting only the effort of the intelli-
gent settler to build up a new and
populous section of the commonwealth
of North Dakota.
In all directions, to the north, east,
south and west. there is a growing and
prosperous settlement. New farms are
being settled upon, new enterprises de-
veloped, new cattle ranches opened,
and new demand created for the pro-
ducts of the mill, the factory, the gro
Gerry, the hardware supply house, and,
in short, for the output of all the
avenues of industry. With railroads
reaching Bismarck from north, south,
east and west, and with a NEAR of
cheap and convenient river transpor-
tation at hand, i. is evident that Bis

march is coming to the front as a job
bling center.
A study of the map of the north
western country will show that every
two or three hundred miles, particu-
larly where there are trade and trans
portation facilities afforded by rail and
water, a thriving commercial center
is built up, to supply the territory
round about. At the present time St.
Paul and Minneapolis are practically
the trade centers for the entire north
western country from those cities to
Helena. Of late years, however, a job
bling business of considerable extent
has been built up at Fargo and Grand
Forks, reaching out particularly for
business in the thickly settled north
ern portions of the state. Bismarck,
therefore, is the natural center of dis
tribution for the country from James

conditions. Then millions of acres Of
land were held by the Northen Pacific
railroad, with little determined effort
to settlement. Now these conditions
have changed. The land is in the
hands of private owners, who are put
ting forth efforts to bring in settlers
of the right kind. The possibilities
of the country are known. There is the
experience of men who have achieved
a comfortable independence in a few
years to speak for the country about
Bismarck. All of these things point
to increased settlement, more bust
ness and the coming commercial in
portance of Bismarck as a trading en-
ter.
In addition to the trade demands
of the country round about, Bismarck
has local institutions of sufficient merit
and Importance to command CONNER
cial attention. 1t is the capital of the
state, occupying a town site that for

northwest, obtaining it's supply from
the Missouri river. the purest water in
the world. Its natural drainage is
unsurpassed, the city being built on
the slope from the Missouri river, and
the natural slope toward the river
relieving the town from the cOndi-
tons of flood, mud and the pestilen-
tial vapors that come with poor drain
age and marshv lands. Its streets are
naturally advantageous, the soil being
quick to dry. and ordinarily hard as

tons of this cheap and valuable fuel

These various industries are bringing
