WORK IS DIGNIFIED.
No Woman who Fails to Take Delight
i'm Her Labor Can Be Called
Truly Happy.

In the lap of luxury lives the
woman who delights in her work.
There is such a deep lying source
of happiness in this pretty truth that
it is grievous to realize how few COM
prehend its force and power.
Beautiful nature and rare art bring
to their perfection a thousand things
with which those who can seek to beauti-
fly their homes and adorn the persons of
those they love; but that into which
woman has put her patient endeavor.
her watchful care, her provident
thought, and the affection which she
cannot withhold from what she pro-
tects has an integral value nothing can
rival
1t is a folly of follies to deplore for
ones self or ones children the lack of
what much money could buy, and for
get the intrinsic value and joys of what
it is possible to attain by ones own
work.
There is an elegance and dignity as
ISOLATED with the labor of the hands
which in the case of a gentlewoman is
an art, and as gracefully done as many
a thing called an accomplishment.
Blessed is the mother of the well-to-
do. wholly comfortable girl growing UP
in many thousands of American homes,
that has found a way to make known to
her daughter the value conferred by
personal effort, with its necessary &C
complishments of perseverance and self
denial. AS long as this great fact is
hidden from the girls eye and under
standing she is unfairly dealt with, and
deprived of great aid to happiness and
healthful enjoyment of life.

scientist, puts the pleasure of work
manship foremost among human joys.

RIGHT KIND OF GIRL.
This Writer Tries to Prove That the
Undemonstratfve Maid Al
ways Is Sincere.

The girl who gives expression to her
love with her eyes, and in her actions,
rather than with her tongue, is more apt
to be sincere than the maiden who is
very demonstrative of her affection.
Silence is the chaste blossom OF love"
once wrote Heine, the famous lyric poet,
and his words can be commended to the
notice Of men who are inclined to doubt
a woman's love because she lacks that
effusiveness so characteristic OF the
sentimental girl.
There is certain type Of lover who is
never content unless his sweetheart as
sures him, at intervals of few minutes,
that he is the dearest fellow in existence;
that the world would be dreary place
without him; that she could not possibly
live without him, and that she loves him
better than anything and everybody In
the wide, wide world.
Such assurances, of course, may be
made with all sincerity, but the possibfl-
tiles are that they are not. Earnest and
enduring love is usually silent and ur-
demonstrative. A gentle pressure OF the
hand, and a kind, loving look, full OF
consideration and meaning, are lar more
eloquent than words, and, in the major
ity of cases, much more sincere. 1t is
seldom that man makes mistake IN
the choice of a wife when he judges her
love and affection by her actions toward
him, which, in the words of the old
proverb: Speak louder than words"
Language in love is often used only to
deceive, and the more beautiful and pol
ished the language is, the more dece1tful
the man or woman. Silence is far better
than unmeaning words, and more becom-
ing to a woman. The lover of the I'M
demonstrative girl should remember that
it is against her nature to be otherwise;
and if he be observant, he will find more
happiness in these silent tokens than in
volumes of talk.
Perhaps it is because the silent girl is
somewhat overshadowed at times by her
ELUSIVE sister, who is never at loss for
gushing words and voluble expressions
of affection, that men are inclined to
think she is cold and loveless, 1t only
needs little close study of the undemon-
strative girl to show how unjust Is such
a thought She may appear somewhat
cold, and even at times cause doubts and
fears to arise in the mind of the one who
has won her consent to be his wife.
But such fears are groundless, for the
undemonstrative girl gives her love once
and for all time.-N. Y. Weekly.

BLACK FOREST WEDDING.
Bride Wore Head-Dress and Gown
which Proved Surprise to
Foreign Guests.

We were lucky enough to be present at
the wedding of rich peasant girl of
the province of St. Georgen, in the Black
forest. The bride. Cresenz B., wore the
wonderful head-dress which girls of that
district have been married in from time
immemorial; crown, twice the height
of her head and wide as her shoulders,
one solid mass of tinsel flowers, beads
and bright-colored glass balls like
Christmas-tree ornaments. A wide
starched ruff encircled her neck, and her
green silk apron was half-covered with
floating ribbons of every bright color.
Silver-gilt chains laced her bodice. but
here the splendor ended. Sober wooden
stuff, warranted to wear lifetime, and
coarse, hand-knit stockings completed
her visible costume.
Johann, the bridegroom, was very SIM
pie in attire, save for AIRED waistcoat and
green tie.
Instead of bouquet for his life's part

Seeing EIectricifx.

The phenomena of electric discharges
in vacuum tubes give the nearest ap-
proach to seeing electricity that are
likely to be made. The streams ST cor
puscles propelled along the tubes sug-
gested to Crookes in 1870 the idea of a
fourth state of matters, and these cor
puscles-smaller than atoms, and the
same in all kinds of gases-were named
electrons by Stoney, and have come to
be regarded as the electric parts of all
atoms, or even as making up matter
itself. When torn from its groups or
from matter the electron travels with
speed comparable to that of light
A body charged with electricity, if at
rest, presents the phenomena of cleo
trostatics: If in motion, those of cleo
tricity and magnetism; if in acceleration
or change of motion, those of light and
radiation generally.

JAPANESE TERRAPIN.
United States Fish Com mission Sends
Experts to Study Methods of
Culture I'm Far East.

The United States fish commission
has sent an expert to Japan for the
purpose of studying terrapin culture
as practised in that country, where they
seem to nave succeeded in breeding the
turtles by artifice. It is true that the
Japanese terrapin is not the same spe-
cies as ours, but its habits are similar,
and there is reason to suppose that
like methods of culture might be sue
cessful in the United States. says the
New York Herald.
The matter is OF no small i'm
portance, inasmuch as our terrapin is
on the verge OF extinction. 1t used to
be vastly numerous, especially in the
neighborhood of the Chesapeake, and
in 1850 diamond backs sold in Balti-
more for 1914 cents apiece. But they
have been literally hunted almost to
the point Of determination. and at the
present time they fetch $50 dozen.
The Japanese species, which is said
to be equal to our own in flavor, II
known as the "suppon." and, like the
American terrapin, is an inhabitant of
tidal waters and salt marshes. Arti-
fetal ponds with a muddy bottom are
employed for rearing purposes, with a
low fence to prevent the turtles from
escaping. The pond is shallow, and at
laying time, in early summer, the fe-
males climb out on the bank, scratch a
shallow hole and deposit their eggs,
finally covering them up and leaving
them to be Matched by the heat of the
SUM- Nets are spread to prevent birds
from digging up the eggs.

DEATH OF MRS. CLARK.

He DEATH of Mrs. W. A. Clark, jr.,
at Butte yesterday is one of those
human tragedies which only the God
who guides the destinies of us all can
give a reason for. With everything to
live for. a loving husband, a baby boy
wealth, friends IN countless numbers,
she has suddenly been summoned to
the other shore. Her sun has gone
down while it was yet morning.
The day that opened for her with
smiling skies, with balmy breezes kiss
ing flower petals as she walked along
her way, has darkened ere the noon
time neared. Poor little mother? All.
no. After all, happy though she was
during her brief visit to earth, she is
happier now. In the place Of many
mansions, where there is no death, nor
pain, nor sorrow, nor suffering, she is
resting.
What of the home she has left?
What Of the boy who will never know
a mothers loving, tender, watcI1ful
care? What Of the husband and father
whose heart is wrung with a grief that
knows no solace2 May the God who
has bereft them point out the way of
comfort, Tor he alone can do it! God
help them to know that somewhere in
the everlasting city she is waiting to
welcome them home.
Theirs is the burden now, theirs the
woe that brushes and benumbs. The
girl-wife. the little mother, has been
spared the heat and burden Of the day;
she has been spared the possibility of
earthly misery Words at such a time
can be but words; even though they
come from hearts that throb with deep
est sympathy, they can convey no hope
of consolation now.
Death is never so hopeless as in a
case like this; it never so truly realizes
the apostrophe:
And thou art terTible,-thC tear
The groan, the knell the pail, the bier,
And all we know or dream or fear
OF agony are thine.
