How differently men and women in
alTge themselves in what is called a
resting spell! II guess f'll sit down
and mend these stockings and rest
awhile" but her husband throws him
self upon the easy lounge or sits back
in his arm chair, with hands ut rest
and feet placed horizontally upon an
other chair. The result is that his
whole body gains full benefit Of the
hour he allows himself from work,
and the wife only receives that indi-
rect help which comes from the change
of occupation. A physician would tell
her that taking ten minutes rest in a
horizontal position, as q change from
standing or sitting at work, would
prove more beneficial to her than any
of her makeshifts at resting.
Busy women have habit Of keeping
on their feet just as long as they can
in spite of backaches and warning
pains. AS they say, II used to think
l must do thus and so, but l have
grown wiser and learned to slight
things" The first years Of housekeep-
Ing are truly the hardest, for untried
and unfamiliar cares are almost daily
thrust upon the mother and homemak-
er.-Leslie's Weekly.

w. II. Gilmore of Fairlee, {. j.
Bell of Walden, r. J. HI nball Of
Randolph, Il. 5. Stanton Of RoX-
bury and Judge Henry c. Idle OF

old campaigners, and the list has Il

and west side, couldn't weather the
storms of a year or two without an
old hand at the helm. But these
are parlous times tor the old favor
ties and the last campaign showed
that close Identification with the
elect OF other years is not now Il
passport to an easy victory. There
is also Mr. Clement, in list by him
self, and he makes long one. 1t
is suggested that he may enter the
race again, and if he breaks in ear
ly some of the aforementioned
gentlemen will drop out suddenly,
and stay out.

BIRTHS.

Securing Wool,


Our ancestors secured their wool in
tubs, much as our wives and daugh-
ters scour our clothcs today. In the
hand washing of wool tub was filled
with the suds, In which one or two men
with long poles stirred the wool until
clean, when they lifted it upon trav:
cling apron, which carried 1t between
pair of rollers which squeezed out
the water. The same principle is ap-
piled in the automatic securing now in
vogue.
Great forks or rakes seize the wool
as 1t is carried by rollers from feed
ing apron into the iron tanks and by
alternating motions of their teeth give
II q thorough securing. Thus cleansed
the wool is de ivered by rQllers to the
drying machines, where hot air and
great fans are now utilized to extract
oil the moisture without tearing the
fiber.

Cured near Norwich by which two

Put Your Gloves on Properly.

Put Your Gloves on Properly.
i glove with the seams twisted is
anything but neat and does Il great
deal to mar a woman's appearance
The correct way to put on gloves is az
follows: First shake a little sOapstOne
powder into each tingeri then place
your elbow firmly on the table with the
hand upright and the thumb extended
toward the palm. Draw the body Of
the glove over the fingers and after
seeing that each seam of the glove is
straight with the lines of the finger
coax each finger into the corresponding
finger of the glove. Remember that the
appearance Of the glove ever after and
pit its wearing possibilities also depend
upon the way you put on the glove for
the first time. Be sure that the stitch.
ing on the back Of the glove is straight.
Thelt insert the thumb and look once
more to see If the seams are all
straight; If not, pull the glove off and
begin again. The seam at the top Of
the thumb should be in line with the
middle of the thumb nail. Smooth the
wrist neatly, and then put on the other
glove. When both gloves are on and
well worked over both fingers and
palm, begin to button the left hand by
Skipping the first one and fastening all
the others. Then treat the right hand
IN similar manner; finally go back
10 the first button on the left, then on
the right hand, The glove will not fit
the hand as it should until this first
button is fastened. Buttons, not hooks
or fasteners Of any kind, are used on
the better quality Of gloves Gloves
