WhoCping Couqh.

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took
who0ping cough last summer, our
baby boy being only three months old,
and owing to our giving them Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, they lost
none of their plumpness and came out
in much better health than other
children whose parents did not use
this remedy. Our Oldest little girl
would call Justify for cough syrup
between who0ps.-Jessie Pinkey Hall,
Springville, Ala. This remedy is for
sale by J. E. Daly and Sam Church.

Household Con'ts.

Don't buy food that has been in cold
storage II you can secure fresh food:
sometimes turkeys and fish are kept
frozen for years. All fresh meat that
mas been frozen loses it's firmness and
flavor when allowed to thaw, which is
necessary before cooking. Firm fish
and fresh meats are essential to good
and wholesome living. You will see
offered for sale smelts and green
smelts, and many housekeepers do
not know the difference, which is just
this: Green smelts are freshly caught;
smelts not bearing this label are
frozen. The frozen ones become
tasteless and f1abby when cooked.
Don't buy foreign fresh fruits or vege-
tables when the native are plentiful.
Don't put Gerry in the refrigerator
just as it comes from the market;
wrap it in wet cloth, then in a paper,
and lay it on the ice until needed.
Don't depend upon extra heat when
you want water to boil quickly, but
add a little salt to the water and
watch the gratifying results. Don't
throw anything away because it is too
salty; add brown sugar until it is just
right.-Woman's Home Companion

Servants in Germany.

In Germany, says the Liverpool
Post, every domestic servant is under
the supervision and protection of the
state. Each one on entering service
is duly registered at the burgomaster's
or at the nearest police station, and
receives little book containing not
only the various rules and regulations
of domestic service, the bylaws con-
corning the hiring penny" the Tort
nights notice" and so forth, but
blank pages. on which the masters

Coeducation in GERMANY,

In Germany educational boards are
waking up to the advantages of CO.
education, and at a recent convention
OF the public school teachers of West
phalia the following resolutions were
adopted
1. The aim of the public school is
the same for both sexes.
2, Although the individual talents
OF the sexes are different and require
different treatment, a one-sided cult
walton of them may easily create an
unnatural chasm between boys and
girls, so it seems desirable to educate
them together
3. Another reason for coeducation
in the public schools is that. although
the two sexes will hold different DO
sitions in after life, yet life brings
them face to face with the same prob
lens
4. The different degrees of interest
taken in different branches by boys
and girls may prove advantageous to
both.
5. The habit of daily association
with the opposite sex tends to dimin-
ish the moral dangers of growing boy s
and girls.
6. Coeducation is the most natural
system, because it is most like educa-
ton in the family
The public school teachers of Wur,
temberg. at another meeting, declared
that ''for the sake of more advanta-
| geous organization of the schools
small communities should not found
| senarate schools for boys and girls
BADEN and Wurtembere from this
time will admit girls to the boys pre-
naratory schools on passing the en-
| trance examination.

George EIIiot's Sympathy.

1t is said of George Eliot's literary
style that its most marked character
lst1c is sympathy. And long before
her identity had become known
Charles Dickens, a singularly acute
critic OF his own art, detected her sex
by the undercurrent of womanly SYM
pathy. He had been reading Scenes
OF Clerical Life which had been sent
to him by the publisher, and on put
ting the book aside, he said: well.
this writer possesses great ability, but
should say, despite the name,
that George Elicit is woman"

WILLIAM AND MARY.

William gazed on Mary Jane;
Longed to tell her that her eyes
Shone like sunlit drops Of rain
Falling from enchanted skies.
But poor William, scant OF nerve,
Sought in vain these things to say
Merely managed to observe,
ct is rather warm today
Mary Jane will ne'er suspect
What a wealth of sentiment
Flourishing, despite neglect,
In that trite remark was pent.
Vows as steadfast as the pole,
Though as tender as the May,
He is uttering from his soul,
When he says tits warm today"
William tries and tries again;
Baf1ed in his eloquence;
Weary quite is Mary Jane
Of ridiculous suspense.
But each time, just as of yore,
All his wits grow dark and dim.
William feels that he's bore.
Mary quite agrees with him.

Mother First Of All,

Many notable women who have in
terested themselves in the progress
OF The world have still been the best
of mothers in the home. A recent
writer recalls certain women as ex-
amples of this truth. Victoria was
not less a mother because she was a
ruler; Marie Theresa was a great en-
press and great mother, too; Julia
Ward Howe has been a faultless
mother as well as woman of affairs;
Elizabeth Cady Stanton never failed
in her motherly duties while advocat-
ing suffrage for women, nor did Lucy
Stone, or Mary A. Livermore. Marga-
