The Old and the New.

The old lady with the gray locks
bending over the wash tub by the
back kitchen door doing the Monda y
washing all day has a beautiful &C
complished daughter in the parlor
playing Just One Girl" on the piano
but it makes no difference to the cold
lady" She knows she has to do the
washing in time to get dinner for tile
sold man" who is in the field blowing
On Tuesday she does the ironing,
Wednesday the churning and mend
ing, Thursday she hoes in the garden,
Friday she sews and Saturday she
scrubs and bakes. The young lady
who has just graduated must practice
her music lesson, do her fancy work
and write to her school chums. Sun
day comes and so does the dude with
the turned up pants, a three and a
half inch collar and package OF Gig
Prettes in his pocket. He is enter.
tanned in the parlor but the old-fash-
joined, stoop shouldered father and
mother are not stylish enough to be
in the parlor but must be in the hitch
en-. The dude young man and the
stylish young. lady get married and
neither will know how to work, fall
back and lead profitless life. What
this great land of ours wants is a
school that will make men and
women out OF our children; one that
will teach them the lesson of every
day life.

NUGGETS.

Life is one continuous round of un
finished business.
Duties of other people are always
doubly clear to us.
Character lives in a man, reputa-
ton outside OF him.
Many a farmer earns his bread by
the sweat OF his hired mans brow.
Inner sunshine warns not only the
heart OF the owner, but all who comes
in contact with it.
He is a fool who cannot be angry;
but he is wise man who will not.

nination.

After woman is married she is
satisfactory by law, but people never
begin TO find fault with a man until
after he is married. And the longer
he is married, the less satisfaction lie
gives. His daughters want to go
away to school, and they think it
funny their father won't send them.
His sons want a start in business,
pnd think it funny that their father
does not edo" more for them. And
the mother, who never earned cent
and does not know hoy slow dollars
come in, thinks it funny, too. AS
long as he lives the father is urged to
work harder, and make more money
to supply the wants of the wife and
children. But his wife becomes fat,
has little to do, and no one finds fault
with her, except that she should have
married better man; his daughters
do nothing and his sons may be shift
less, but nobody is unsatisfactory in
the family except the old man.

Courage for Our Girls.

In her "Talks with Girls" in the
Woman's Home Companion, Ada
Sweet gives the following excellent ad-
vice to women and girls who believe
that to pretend to fear is feminine
virtue:
Without courage a fine, high char
acter is impossible. Girls need to cul-
tivate this magnificent virtue. To be
afraid Of nothing is enviable. It is
too much the custom to excuse girls
fer cowardice, which Is the lowest form
OF selfish fear. Yet it is not uncom-
mon to hear girl say, II am an ab-
ject coward"
This confession should be rebuked
but out of Difference to custom we on]v
smile when we hear it from girls or
women. A boy or man is ashamed OF
yielding to fear. He conceals his
weakness if he is afraid, and In con
cealing 1t half cures it, Tor he Is OBLIGED
to battle with his abject love of self in
order to keep the respect of the people
around him. In the end he asserts
his own power and ceases to be ruled
By fear.
Nervous, unreasonable girls should
cease to SANDER themselves nv an.
nouncing that they are towards. 1t il
dangerous to play with the vital sources
OF character. The girl who thinks or
says, "Oh, should be frightened out
OF my Wits by fire! I should throw
myself out of the first window" etc
will, it is more than likely, do some.
thing foolish should fire occur where
she is. The girl who thinks and saws
that in case of fire she will first of all
strive to keep her mind steady. and
then do all she can practically and
quickly for others and herself. will
probably turn out genuine heroine
when her time for trial comes.
To assume Voluntarily the attitude
OF helpless weakllng Is dangerous
Habit OF mind, of imagination, becomes

Anyway, don't boast of any of your

Sleepy Judges.

Pittsburg Gazette.
The Supreme Court of Illinois has
just handed down an opinion in case
peculiar, not for its rarity, but Tor its
comparative frequency. The question
was whether nap taken by a Judge
during trial constitutes an error.
The Supreme Court held that it did
not, holding that if counsel for the de-
feated lltigant saw that the judge was
asleep he should have either suspended
the examination of the witness or taken
cognizance of the fact at the time,
Judges are human, lawyers are some
times wearlsome, and witnesses natur.

Yes, How Ignorant.

Charlotte Observer.
Its funny how ignorant some people
are. Now there are plenty OF folks
who don't know that everybody has
palate hairs right at the crown on top
of his head, end when his palate drops
and every single palate is In danger
OF dropping at some time or another
why, the first old negro granny you
see can take hold of your palate hairs
and gently lift the palate in place
again. This is the reason that bald
medicines Is SO dlscouraging. After
you are ba,dheaded you never can get
the proper leverage OIL your palate,
which threatens, all your life, to drop
clean to your-boots. Everybody
should be taught to preserve most
carefully his or her palate hairs.
And, speaking of ignorance, it Is
really surprising to think how many
persons are bothered with the hooting
of an owl OF nights and don't know
now to get rid Of the uncanny bird.
It is so easy. Take a shovel or a po-
ker and heat it in the fire till it is
white hot. As the iron becomes hot
ter you will learn if you listen, that
the owl grows more uncomfortable,
and there is a tinge of melancholy in
his tones. And when the iron poker
or shovel is white with heat
the owl will give one despairing hcot
ard fly away, never to return. One Is
almost ashamed to tell such simple
thing, but so many people lack know
ledge about such a variety of little, use
full methods that tend to make home
happier and more secure.

Language Of the Turkey.

Selected.
Nelson Wood, an English scientist,
has made a lifelong study OF the
language Of birds, and be thinks he
can not only understand what many OF
the feathered creatures are saying, but
also express things to them which they
understand. He has many interest
ing things to tell about the birds he
has met.
The creatures o. the air, so be says,
talk the least. Turkey, chickens and
such feathered creatures, as they do not
fly very much, talk the more. The
explanation of this is natural.
The birds that do not fly are always
in more danger and they have many
notes of warning. Language among
them, of course, as it must have been
with primitive man, is but>au express
sion of the simplest needs-danger,
hunger, warning, pleasure and such
sensations are the first emotions ex-
pressed.
To illustrate the various calls which
turkey has, Mr.. Wood cites note for
overhead danger, another for danger on
the ground, third for a hawk in the
distance, another of complaint when
being driven, different call in open
meadow from that in bushes, special
signal at night, as we'll as special
kind of note used in ordinary CONVEX
sation.
Chickens have even more modes OF
expression. A hen has three distinct
songs, one when seeking her nest, an
other for calling her mate and a third
for grooming to herself or in the search
OF food.
The rooster has several distinct notes,
and Mr.. Wood says that some of these
the ordinary person never observes.
There is one, low, fine whistle which
the rooster uses sometimes on dark
day when going to roost, but when the
rooster really begins to carry on an ex.
tensive conversation is when he meets
another chanticleer in battle.
It ranges all the way from defiant
chuckle which invites the other fellow
to fight as surely as the proverblal chip
on a boys shoulder, to feminine
Groom which means fear and a desire
to retire.
Perhaps OF all birds the parrot is the
most intelligent. People have beer
accustomed to think of the parrot al
simply a mimic, but Mr.. Wood pre-
tends to have known many that actual
ly understood the words they were say
Ing. One of his parrot friends Away.
saluted him with "Good morning
early in the day and "Good night" il
the evening.
The ability of crows to smell gun
powder long distance off has always
been asserted for them, and those who
have studied the birds to any extern
easily recognize varying caws, showing
fear, warning or affection, as the cast
may be. That birds are aba to ex
press pleasure every one knows. Ths
cheerful Tilt OF the songsters is only one
way in which they show their joy O
living in such good world as this.
