A WOman'S Wealth.
Paine's Celery
Compound
GIVES VIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness Of nation depends
much upon the physical condition Of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
Of those powers by which life Is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovahle, We cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion OF life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debii-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women
earth's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness TO Paine's
Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Minn., tells how she was snatChed from

Ostrich Raising.

A recent shipment Of forty os-
triches to Nice, on the borders Of Italy
and France, from California, directs
attention to this growing California
iudustry-the culture Of the African
ostrich in America. Just about 6f-
teen years have elapsed since the
American ostrich farmers gave their
first serious attention to this subject
Now the ostrich industry il well es-
tablished in the United States, some
eight hundred birds existing in the
country, and these will doubtless form
the nucleus of that immense number
that one day will cover the mesas Of
southern California, the meadows Of
Arizona, the vast plateaus Of Texas,
and the everglades Of Florida as their
kind do the African yeldt today.
The ostrich has come to stay. He
costs little to keep, not more than the
ordinary sheep, and yields an annual
value Of thirty dollars to the proprie-
tor. One man can take care Of hun
dred ostriches. The creature is hardy
and Of careless appetite The ay-
erage increase TO the stock each year
is between fifteen and twenty ostriches
to a pair. Some have been known to
produce as many as thirty-seven in a
year The birds are kept in pens in
California, and a source Of revenue
has been found in exhibiting them to
the many tourists who are attracted
there. Incubators showing tte va
rious stages Of ostrich life are also on
view. A growth from the size Of a
duck to the height Of six feet is ques-
tion Of only Elk months.
When the birds are a year old their
feathers are ready for the market.
The cropping is accomplished by COW
eriDg the ostriches' heads with hoods
and plying pair Of shears. This
process takes place every eight months.
The feathers Of the large side wings
are cut off near theroots the smaller
feathers on the tail are pulled out with
out injury to the bird, for on the care
now bestowed depends the future
health Of the coming feather In the
course Of three weeks the stems left
start to fall out and new feather be-
gins to grow, which in due time is
taken of for the benefit Of the ostrich
farmer. These feathers are graded
and sent to the feather manufacturers
Of New York, who make them mp into
those beautiful articles for dress 20
dear to the hearts Of those who wear
them. When the American woman
can buy only the ostrich feather Of
the American ostrich, the most san
guine hope Of Edwin CawstOn, the pi-
oneer California ostrich farmer, will
have been realized two million dol
lsrs each year will then remain in the
country instead Of going to London,
and another magnificent industry will
have been added to the already vast
resources Of the greatest Of all repub-
lies.

For Mothers.

Children need models more than crit
icism.
To bring UP child in the way he
should go, travel that way yourself.
The sooner you get a child to be a
law unto himself, the sooner you will
make a man Of him.
We can never check what is evil in
the young unless we cherish what is
good in them.
Stories first heard at a mothers
knee are never wholly forgotten, a
little spring that never dries up in our
journey through scorching years.
Line upon line, preeept upon pre-
cept, we must have in a home. But
we must also have serenity, peace and
the absence of petty fault finding, if
home is to be nursery fit for heavens
growing plants.
There are no men or women, how
ever poor they may be, but have it in
their power by the grace of God to
leave behind them the grandest thing
on earth, character; and their children
might rise up after them and thank
God that their mother was a pious wo-
man, or their father pious man.-Dr.
Mcleod.

Knitting Cure for Tired Nerves.

My prescription. madam, is that you
knit two hours daily" said the physi-
clan.
"Knit?" exclaimed the nervous pa
tient, why on earth, doctor, should /
knit"
The medical man replied: Because
nothing is more soothing to the nerves;
because nothing conduces to such a
calm and cheerful frame of mind. /

knitting will be better. It will do you
much more good. 1 believe that a

He went on to explain that his at
tention had been called to an article
IN a medical journal on the beneficial
effects of knitting, and he had pre-
scribed the treatment, with excellent
success, to a dozen women.

know how to knit. but would begin to

Be Agreeable.

It is only given to the very few to
by physically beautiful and mentally
bright; but every woman can have the
charm of being agreeable. 1t is not
always the most talented people who
make life the happiest. Neither does
it follow that beauty always outshines
plainness. The tactful woman who
knows how to smile charmingly and
say pleasant things is a source of de-
light wherever she goes, although she
may not possess any superior mental
qualifications. The art of being agree
able is simply the combining of
thoughtfulness, unselfishness, good
nature and good sense with a lot of
tact and making all these necessary
qualities radiate with sunny smiles
that can hide from view the shadows
of life. The woman who knows how
to be charmingly agreeable has all the
requirements to make her irresistible
wherever she may go.

And they spoke you soft and fair,

Not a tear you shed.
But when morning came you rose
Calm as from a sweet repose;
With a sweet light shining Ger you,
Set your little tasks before you,
Miss Mary,
Till the evenings close.
Many, many years ago
Did it happen you; and so
AS you grew severe and gray
Few remembered of the day,

When they laid him low
And they said, "She has no heart,
Thus to keep her life apart"
That twas niggard to be seen
Clad so plainly and so mean,
Miss Mary
Knowing not your art.
Could they climb that star tonight,
Where the starving granny's light
Vigil for your footstep keeps
While for the witless STRIPPING weeps
Miss Mary,
They would judge you right.
But no more you'll come; today
They have borne you far away,
And inferred you, strange and cold
BY the tender ones of old,
Miss Mary,
In the blessed clay.

Household Hints.

Never pierce meat while cooking, or
the juices will escape.
Fish for frying must be always dried
thoroughly and dredged thickly with
flour before being brushed over with
egg and breadcrumbs.
When cleaning your stained knives,
take a piece of raw potato, dip it into
brickdust, and scour them with it. In
this way the most obstinate stains NAV
be erased.
To clean zinc, rub it with a paste
made of coal ash and paraffine, using
a piece of thick flannel Then scrub
with soft soap and plenty of hot wa
ter.
Water in which vegetables have been
cooked should never be poured down
the sink if 1t can be avoided, as it
causes disagreeable odor in the house.
Such liquid should be thrown upon
earth, which will quickly absorb the
unpleasant smell. When there is no
earth available for this purpose. al
ways let the tap run directly the veg
etable water has drained from the
sink.

How Little It Costs.

How little it costs, if we give it a
thought,
To make happy some heart each day!
Just one kind word or tender smile
AS we go on our daily way;
Perchance a look will suffice to clear
The cloud from a neighbours face,
And the press of hand in sympathy
A sorrowful tear efface.
One walks in sunlight; another goes
All weary in the shade.
One treads a path that is fair and
smooth;
Another must pray for aid.
1t costs so little! 1 wonder why
We give it so little thought.
A smile. kind words, a glance, a touch;
What magic with them is wrought!

no Beautifv the Hands.

The nails claim primary treatment.
They are filed, then the cutie al
the base is pushed back and a cleans
ing LIQUID is applied to them by means
OF a tampon or wad of prepared cot
ton wool.
Next comes the soaking. a delight
full process, which imparts a velvety
softness to the hands and feeling
of cleanliness, and then the nails are
pliable enough to be treated with the
cutiole knife without fear of damaging
their tender susceptibilities.
No one who is inexperienced should
attempt to use this instrument but,
as has before been said, should buy
either orangewood sticks or ivory in
strument for the purpose.
Orangewood sticks are purchaseable
for few cents bundle, and are use
full in treating children's nails, especi-
ally for removing CRIME from beneath
them-a part that steel should never
penetrate.
When hangnails- and ragged pieces
are seen on the nails. then it is time
TO go to a manicurist and pay for their
skilful removal.
After the nails are rendered quite
trim and neat their surface beauty is
considered, and they are treated to the
brisk ministrations of a polishing pad,
with just a soupcon of pink coloring
paste upon it.
Fashion has much to say upon the
subject of color. just as it has with
regard to form, and at present highly
tinted nails are not considered correct
in Paris they are rather liked.
But without any paste the polishing
pad is efficacious, and distinctly of
avail in imparting gloss to the nails.
Should there have been stains on
them they will have to be removed
at any early stage of the proceedings.
Lemon juice is used for the purpose
by those who are their own manicur-
SITS TIES
While we will imagine the final touch
being given to the hands. a scent spray
to render them delicately odorous and
as white as lilies, we viii discuss the
shape the nails should take.
When first the arts of manicure were
introduced it was considered smart to
wear the nails like claws or talons, pos
sibly to draw attention to the hands
and their beauty.
Now, however, it is deemed Excess
sively bad form to train them to any
great length, and the shape of the
finger tips is followed when the nails
are being filed.

Quite a Mistake.

There is a Sunday school in which
the class rooms are separated by parti-
tons. A new rector was much wor-
ried by the noise of the scholars in an
adjoining room AT last, unable to
bear it any longer, he mounted a chair
and looked over the partition. Seeing
one boy little taller than the others
talking d great deal he leaned over,
hoisted him over the partition and
banged him into chair in his room,
saying:
Now be quiet"
A quarter of an hour later small
head appeared round the door, and a
meek little voice said:
Please, father, you've got our teach
