Association Beneficial.

Association 6EuEAGlal.
That the association has been mutual
Iy beneficial cannot be denied. Women
have gained in health and vigor and the
spirit Of endurance. and there is no de-
nying the fact that a woman's presence
has a refining influence on a mans char
aeter, while the woman's is strength
ened and invigorated by the associa-
ton.
The IackadaisicaI woman found her
greatest comfort in detailing a schedule
of pains and aches or worries and frets.
and it was her melancholy joy to pose
as martyr at all times She was ripe
for heaven from the cradle up. but
somehow or other heaven did not seem
to want her and she had to worry it
through down here, a misery to herself
and everyone around her She was too
ludolent to get well or 10 get anything
else
she would have felt injured if anyone
had been rash enough to tell her she
looked we'll That she was an invalid or
considered herself one was the one hap
py CLEAN Of her eehey life. and her in
valid couch and invalid chair formed
the boundaries Of her ambition
She was so weak that water blusbed
when confronted by her and felt so
ashamed that It was glad to run down
her throat but she kept up the invalia
pose until when she finally did muster
up energy enough TO die she was not
half as much at peace as those who
we're left behind 10 mourn her.
Man Worthy of Respect.
The man who finds himself tied 20 the
business end of a matrimonial oombi-
nation wherein a IackadaisicaI woman
figures in the invalid role is worthy Of
all respect il he bears the tndiction pa
dently as husbands are accredited with
bearing (when often they don't). I really
think he is more ripe for heaven than
his angel spouse. a man who Is really
devoted to and attentive to chronic
martyr in the guise Of a IackadaigicaI
woman IS 50 near akin to a cherubim
that he needs watching lest his wings
be spr0lting. I have read Of such dear
martys Of martyr but much as I love

May Find Pleasure in Work.

A calm, even temperament. who enjoys
work in moderation. who finds pleasure
in pen and ink, pencil and brush. needle
and scissors, hooks and newspapers, the
chaang dish or cook stove; in fact, the
woman who enjoys her home, who
nurses a vigorous womanhood, who finds
her happiness in making others happy,
who has no time to coddIe herself, is the
woman who makes a home happy.
The busting. ever-energetIc woman is
too restless ard keeps ones nerves on
edge, but the weu-baIanced. calm woman
can literally work herself TO death and
others never realize until she is gone
how much she really did accomplish.
Husbands Are to Blame.
The IackadaisicaI woman has lots of
sympathy wasted on her. She really
does not deserve it. She is not SO III
as she Is fanciful She martyrs her
husband. who allows his sympathies to
overbaIance his judgment One-half Of
the time a woman who poses an an in
valid would be the better for it il
hubby gave her a good, oId-fashioned
spanking to wake her up instead Of
petung her and encouraging her. The
interesting invalid role is often nothing
more than seIfshness, The woman is
too lazy to exert herself and. needing
some excuse for the non-fuIfnment of
duties that are plainly her province, che
is shrewd enough to know that the in
valid will be the best excuse she can
frame.
Take the advice, boys. Of a woman
who has studied women Of all sorts and
kinds and brands and species. and give
the lackadalsicaI woman wide swath.
She may be ethereal and interesting as
a sweetheart, but she will be 4 came
very near saying d-n. but that's what
I meanl very trying as a wife.

Incidence the Beginning.

The woman who begins BY being too
indolent to take an interest in herself
or her environment soon sinks 10 the
morbid condition that is near akin to
the real invaIidism- She fancies herself
i'll in the beginning and becomes so later
on through the force Of sympathetic
Imagination. She may not have any
organic trouble, but she actually be-
comes i'll through the morbid tendencies.
The IackadaisicaI woman boasts that
she can 90 nothing She has no idea OF
such occupations as divert a woman's
mind and leave her TO time for morbid
fancies. The woman who likes to be oc-
eupiea, who finds pleasure in dainty ac-
eomplishmeHts. or in experimenting with
a needle. is never at a loss as to how
to pass the time. rather like tina
woman who can always find something
to do; who can always entertain herself:
who finds the days even too short where
III she may accomplish all that she sets
her mind to do,

Era of Athletic Gin.

The era Of the athletic girl rather put
the IaekadaisicaI girl out of business,
as the latter found herself a misft
wherever the athletic girl CHANGED 70
appear. The latter has not very much
use for her whimsical sisters who lack
the vim to take part in the strenuous
out-of-door life that is the fad of the
day
Rosy cheeks. and healthy. vigorous
vomanhood is the aim of femininity
nowadays. and the masculine element is
nothing loath 10 encourage his sister,
his sweetheart. or his best friends wife
to share in his sports and take part in
the exercise which he himself enjoys.
Formerly, a man resented the presence
# womankind in his games and pasdmes.
but at this era of woman's supremacy
she is made the constant companion Of
brothers. sweethearts, or friends in
nearly all OF the occupations that en-
gross them.

nurtures the tender virtue which
from oldest days to this good time
has held man above the brute forces
and lifted him into communion with
the Most High. Friendship, faith,

world to universal sweetness and

Hail to our friends! Good day,
good morrow, good and sweet after
whiles. Things that are best come
to him who waits and works. Pa
thence brings its offering, great or
small, as ones deserts may be-if
small, still great to him who expects
little while he loves much and loves
long. Across the space of the after
whites the light still breaks in gentle
radiance. And so it is good day, and
so it shall be good morrow.

Sources of Color.

An interesting enumeration has been
published in q technical journal of the
sources of color. From this it appears
that the cochineaI insects furnish the
gorgeous carmine crimson, scarlet car
mine and purple lakes; the cuttlefish
gives sepia-that is, the inky fluid
which the fish discharges in order to
render the water opaque when attack
ed; the Indian yellow comes from the
camel, ivory chips produce the ivory
black and boneblack, the exquisite
Prussian blue comes from fusing horse
hoofs and other refuse animal matter
with impure potassium carbonate, va
rious lakes are derived from roots,
banks and gums; blue black comes
from the charcoal of the vine stock,
turkey red is made from the madden
plant, which grows in Hindustan; the
yellow sap of a Siamese tree produces
gambOge, raw sienna is the natural
earth from the neighborhood Of Siena,
Italy; raw lumber is an earth found
near Umbria, india ink is made from
burned camphor mastfc is made from
the gum of the masttc tree, which
grows in the Grecfan archipelago;
blister is the SCOT of wood ashes; very
little real uItramarine, obtained from
the precious lapis lazuli, is found in the
market.

The impossible.

The Duke of Wellington wanted
certain piece Of work done and in
structed an officer of the Royal engi-
neers to do it. After examination the
officer Informed the duke that it was
impossible.
The duke sent for another officer, a
much younger man and attached to an
other division of the army. This Off
Ger did what the duke required.
The next morning there appeared in
the orders of the day" the following
epigrammatic note: "He who in war
fails to do what he undertakes may al
ways plead accident, which invariably
attends military affairs; but he who de-
clares thing to be impossible which
is subsequently accomplished registers
his own incapacity."

Convicts in Colorodo Prison Seize Ward
ems Wife, Dynamite Gate and Get

Canon City, Col, June 23.-One con-
vict was shot and killed and another
was fatally wounded by guards at the
state penitentiary in an attempt to es-
cape. At o'clock a. N. number of
convicts overpowered the overseer
and guards at the wash house, secur-
ing their keys. On the way to the
front gate the cCnvicts captured Mrs.
Cleghorn, wife of the warden, and
placed her in front of them. Reaching
the front gate, they dynamited it and
got outside, taking Mrs. Cleghorn with
them. The warden instructed the
guards to pick cOnvicts off, taking care
not to shoot Mrs. Cleghorn. When if
