"What was the trouble between Ara
bella and her young man that they
gave up the idea of marrying?" asked
former resident of Bushby.
"Arabella was always techy," said
the young lady's aunt, with imperson-
al calmness, land that was the trouble
that and her being so literal. It's a
terrible resky combination O. quail

Of LILLIAN Barton Wilson in Golfers
Weekly
Taste In Dress Versus Money.

A woman would often insure greater
success by giving day or two to the
study of her gown and how to put it
OH and all its accessories than in buy
ing another and very expensive one.
She would give expression and indi-
viduality to her dress. All should
know the colors that suit them, but
they must bear in mind that what is
becoming at seventeen may not suit at
seven-and-twenty and is very likely to
look grotesque at seven-and-thirty.
Many women who, keeping in their
minds the ideal of youth follow in the
same lines at forty-seven for their
pains look nearer fifty-seven or sixty
seven than younger. 1t Is quite absurd
to wear what is fashionable, but unbe-
coming. The first duty of woman is to
dress to look well, and 1t does not come
within her obligation to be mere
block for the display of her dressmak-
er's inventions.

Cutting Wood Lots,

We scarcely need to suggest the cut
ting of wood to the farmers this win
ter. The high prices that have pre-
vailed have made many u farmer who
has wood lot decide that another
winter will not find him without good
supply Of cordwood ready for market
If the supply Of coal is short. The
question with many will be whether to
cut all clean as they go or leave the
younger trees and merely thin out the
older ones that have but little more
growth to make. We favor the latter
plan when one can cut the larger trees
without having them break the smaller
ones as they fall. When this cannot
well be done, 1t Is better to cut clean
and then as new sprouts come up keep
them so thinned out as to give each a
chance to grow independently of the
others. In twenty years there will not
be as many trees, but there will prob
ably be more wood, and in forty years
twice as much wood, with more growth
to come in some varleties.-American
Cultivator.

The Best Citizen.

"Why are you forever patting the
farmer on the back and picturing him
as saint?' asks a city reader. We
are not patting anybody on the back,
and there are very few saints on earth.
A farmer can be Just as mean as a
coal baron or a railroad magnate If he
wants to, though happily his meanness
would not touch so many people. We
do say that farm life gives man and
his family the chance to develop in the
most natural and harmonious way.
The farmer who is true to his calling
and makes most Of his advantages Is
the best citizen in the country. We do
not say the richest or the most influen-
tial in politics. but the best. Why,
there are some good folks who say that
when we demand the common rights
which belong to the farmer we are
preaching revolutionary doctrine! What
difference does 1t make what they call
1t? The demand will go on!

HINTS FOR FARMERS


Hog killing time is naturally hailed
with pleasure by families who live in
the country far remote from market,
says Eleanor b. Parker In Texas Stock
man and Farmer. The one regret ia
that 1t lasts such short time, and I
want to tell some Of the readers of
this paper how they keep bones and
fresh meat for some time without the
least injury. Secure from your drug
gist box of pure pulverized borax.
Sprinkle a little salt on the pieces of
meat and cover well with the borax.
1t will not injure the taste Of the meat
and is said by the best authority to be
perfectly harmless when used in this
way. 1t is also excellent to preserve
hams and shoulders and keep them
free from flies. 1t is used for this pur-
pose in the packing houses of large cit
les. Leave the hams and shoulders In
salt as long as desired. Take them
out, wash and dry carefully, covering
the flesh side with the borax. Be care
full to put it In every crevice where
fly might locate. Some immerse the
joints in strong pepper tea before using
the borax. This is scarcely necessary,
but will do no harm. Meat treated In
this way may be left hanging in the
smokehouse all summer without sack
ing.

The average wages of skilled labor
in Indiana factories, not including rail
road repair shops, for last year was
1927 a day and for unskilled $1.29.
The average wages of skilled labor in
railroad car shops was $2.47, unskilled

average for skilled labor of $243, un-
skilled $1.33, boys II cents, girls and
women 90 cents. Reports from indus
tries controlled by individuals or part

wages for skilled labor was $2.13, for
unskilled SIPS, boys 66 cents, girls and
women 81 cents. The average number
of hours day was little over nine.

Take Care of Your Tools.

Implements not in use need shelter as
much as horses or cows or people. The
ancient custom of putting the wagon
under tree prevails on some farms to-
day; also the ancient custom of leaving
the plows against the field fence and
storing the cultivator on the north side
of the barn or stable is still practiced
to some extent. Is it any wonder that
such careless wastefulness entails COM
parative poverty and superlative dissat-
isfaction with the things Of this world,
political, social and economical? Re-
member that in consequence of these
practices you have to buy twice as
many implements in n given time as
would be necessary IL they were prop
erly cared for, and, besides, the work
with these would be better and more
easily done.

FACTS FROM FRANCE.

Complaint is made that out of 81 900
street lamps in Paris only $4,000 are
lighted at night.
Skyscrapers are not wanted in Paris.
The new regulations limit the height of
n building to sixtysix feet.
Two motor cars are to be provided
for the free use of the tenants Of some
tats now being erected in Paris
In France there are some roads
which are reserved for automobiles and
others on which they are not allowed.
The Paris Gaulois thinks that the
collapse of the Grand Palais in the
Champs Elysees is only question of
time. 1t was built in the years 1896
1900.
In the center of Paris there have
. been recently built several large "ho-
tells" in which homeless men may for
cents get a plate of hot soup and an
al night seat on bench. They are so
crowded that no one can lie down.

Root rubercles ON Lesumes.

L. Laurent of the French Academy
Of Science experimental with fertili-
zers on various legumes, such as peas,
hairy vetch and common vetch. He
found that the plat treated with a nj
trogenous fertilizer tended to form few
er root tubercles, while the plat treated
with potassic fertilizer made them
abundantly. After awhile the plants
grown continuously with heterogeneous
fertilizer only failed entirely to make
root tubercles In that soil, but when
planted in other soil made them again.
On the plats treated with potash there
was no diminution of the tubercles. 1t
seems evident that these legumes not
only do not need the nitrogen, but the
application of nitrogen hinders their
getting it from the air.-Practical Farm

SMILE AS YOU GO.
Everybody Loves the Man with q
Shining Countenance.

Shining Countenance.
Brighter than the most brilliant of
gems, electrifying with a radiance that
forth a reflection Of brightness, is the
shining countenance.
The soul of each man is a sun Of In
finite energy and glorious light. But
how few allow themselves to shine!
How few faces are Lit up with their
possible divine life!
Take your thoughts away from the
swamps of fear and evil, center them
ON the ideals Of faith and love, on good
intentions for others, and your counte-
nance is at once Illuminated.
Look In a mirror, and you shall see
that my words are true. Absolve your
self Of all troubles, be peaceful, be
still, cease all your repining; then your
countenance will shine.
That such an instantaneous physical
change can take place by a change of
thought suggests what power there is
in a renewed habit of thought, habit
created by repeated conscious repose-
full efforts Of calm, concentrated think
ing In line with the ideal.
Not only is the countenance changed
by a bright thought, but the whole
body The atoms are so many vortices
of ether, and the central force Of each
is the mind.
A shining countenance is smiling
countenance. Look ON life rightly, and
you cannot but be pleased. Then you
will smile, you will laugh with joy, be-
cause of life's possibilities.
You have perhaps desired to reach
greater heights Of power. You will
reach them easier II you will but smile
as you go.
There is every reason why the heart
should be glad, and your love for 9th
ers will show this so. This is the sun
shine that expresses itself in your
countenance. The mere fact of loving
drives away fear and darkness. All
false conceptions of duty, the conclu-
sions of biased reasoning, vanish at
the appearance Of love.
Every one loves the sunshiny days,
and every one loves the man whose
soul or individual sun shines through
his face.
Such man will be trusted wherever
he is. He is an interpreter of life; he
will intuitively grasp the meaning of
things; he will be welcomed every
where; he will recognize all and he will
be recognized by all; he will be re-
ceived as the Son of Man, true exem-
plar of his race, leader in the evolu-
ton of humanity; he will be an encour-
agement and an incentive to all.
A shining countenance is first of all
an immediate phenomenon expressive
of the proof of right thinking, and the
same source of this illustration con-
tains the potency of completely chang
ing character, body, surroundings, of
influencing the person, the community,
the race, of issuing forth from its in
finite, solar center great stream of life,
giving out more vigor, raising the whole
realm of existence to the higher plane.

Some people seem to be born in an
unhappy frame Of mind. They cannot
admire excellency without making
some comment on deficiencies. With
them the ''times are always out of

will satisfy their morbid condition. says
the Pittsburg Press. They remind one

piled that she felt better, but that
when she felt better she always felt
worse, as she knew If she felt better

as everybody knows, the process Is a
most tedious and trying one as well as
one which requires great skill.
The braid laces are compromise be
tween real and machine made laces,
and If well executed they are very
beautiful as well as valuable. The real
lace stitches are used In this work to
weave together the braid which forms
the design. Our illustration is very
fine example of the Battenburg or Re-
naissance lace. Lace centerpieces over
white cloths are very dainty and are
used now quite as much as the en-
broidered ones.
This kind of lace is made over a de-
sign stamped on cambric. The braid is
made to follow the lines of the pattern.
The design of this centerpiece Is very
rich one, and the braid is so closely
laid that there Is not as much work on
the piece as one might imagine. The
fine linen center, delicate tilmy piece
of French lawn, Is basted over the
plain center of the cambric, and the
braid is then basted over the lines or
bars of the pattern. The basting of
this work must be done with great
care. Lay the braid on the pattern and
scwlt through the center with rather
nne stitches. When this is all fastened
to the cambrlc backing, the lace stitch
es are woven into the spaces between
with linen thread, thus uniting the
whole into one delicate fabric The
spider web work is usually made to fill
In the background spaces, and the
more complicated stitches are used In
the spaces Of the design.
The foundation of the lace stitches Is
buttonhole work, and nearly all the
stitches are notifications of 1t. The
edge of the design which touches the
linen Is buttonholed all the way
around after the cambria Is removed
from the back of the completed lace by
ripping out the basting. 1t is evident
that a new fabric is made, with the
exception of the linen center.
Many of the finest needle point laces
are made after this plan-that Is. the
