till she was displaced because she was "old," she having reached the vener- able and hearty age of fifty-four. The other sister is 'old." too, the newspa- per young man adds, being forty eight.
 These two ladies arc indeed old. typ- ical specimens of the old woman who never learned to do any money earn ing work. but was content to driifs through life hanging to tho neck of some man, husband, son or brother, just so she could be Supported" No trade or useful occupation did that old woman learn. It was mans place to support" woman, and womans place to be supported. That settled 1t. This old woman had a horror of the new woman who learned trades and pro. fessions and took mems work" away from them. None of this new woman business would she have for herself or her daughters. They must retain their sweet, womanly dependence on man. must marry and have homes and men to foot their bills. more or less grudgingly, as the case might be.
 Verify the old woman is reapins her reward!
 In poorhouses. in charity homes. eat- ing the salt and bitter bread of de- pendence among relatives who will re- joice when she Is dead. as burden they are rid of-thus the old mornan is reaping the fruit of her own will ful stupidity and blindness. She would not see that social and industrial con- ditions have changed through all the world. Now she is taking the con- sequences.
 Apparently 1t was considered by the writer of the newspaper item cruel tex IaA 4xuH laOf aAh xr put his hand in his or her pocket and forked forth the money to feed and clothe them the rest of their lives. Now, will any body tell us what they or any other women like them have done that they should be taken care of? What good is their continued ex- istence to the race that the race should make pocket sacrifice to prolong it.: Does even owman deserve anything she does not earn?
 These are home thrusting questions that women must answer.
 The parents, rich or poor. who do not train their daughters for practical life are criminals. If they are rich, let them give each girl a certaiip amount of property to manage for her. self: let them make her thoroughly learn every detail of It's care, not trust ing to anybody else. The world is full of human sharks who will devour a woman even more quickly than man because she is usually easier prey. Ii the parents are poor or in moderate the daughter must &C., quire a trade or profession whereby to earn her bread. It Is written by tho pen of human destiny that woman can no longer be a butterfly.
 Neither let there be any tissue pa- per- foolery about the trade the girl learns. Let 1t be something solid and useful. Tolstoi says every human be- ing owes 1t to the race to do certain amount of work with his hands. Work not wrongly looked on as drudgery reacts in an ennobling. healthful way on her who performs 1t. The trainets woman grows strong as she works. She will be in the prime of her earn ing capacity at forty eight or fifty four or at sixty. The enthusiastic worker is immortally young.

 The Ugly Duckling's near-sighted- ness has caused her to wear spectacles. which are an annoyance to her in her play. and most unbecoming piece of wearing apparel. It is quite possible that these might have been. avoideS for years to come.
 First of all. she has always been all lowed to read far more than is whole some for a growing child. The love of good books ris a blessing and should he encouraged to a proper degree. but 1t is not right for any little girl to leave the breakfast table with a hur- ried Excuse me-, race to her room and there bury her nose in & story book, not to leave it until the lunch bell rings. This is the way my little lady passes her summer days. The afternoon finds her at the same occu- patton, while the, other children are romping in. the sunshine. -
 Besides being allowed to read too much. she has been allowed to read in the wrong way as well. She has held her book close to her eyes, with an in- creasing tendency to draw it closer. The habit of short sight has been formed. Oculists of the present day are making strong point of this in the schools. In fact, some have gone so far as to invent a brace which holds the child's head in a. proper position and prevents his drawing the book any nearer than is normal. If parents as we'll as teachers would have a bit more patience the result might be accom- plished without any apparatus, by let ting the child understand the danger of indulging the eyes in their whim.
 If your little one is afflicted in this way first try the experiment of keep ing his book at proper distance. If he actually cannot see the letters in this way. then there Is genuine de-

There is a family Of three little girls, two of whom always pass for beauties The third is known to neighbors as '"The Riggs Ugly Duckling."
 She deserves the title, as far as ap- pearance goes: the most charitable can not deny the fact. And yet. on care ful inspection, it will be seen that the two pretty girls have most irregular features. One is freckled; the other face is badly shaped, being far removed from the ideal oval The poor little Ugly Duckling has a straight, snort nose, a delicately curved mouth with sensitive lips, an oval face and clear complexion. Why is she homely?
 The answer Is, because of awkward. ness. The child has every ungainly habit that child can acquire, and all because nobody has taken the pains to help her break these habits while she is young and the matter is com paratively easy.
 She is pigeon-toed. This is not be- cause of any natural malformation (and oven if it were the matter could very likely be remedied by exercises or braces), but merely because she has formed the habit of letting one toe turn in. The other turns fin neither direction. but points straight ahead.
 Next she is round-shouldered. She is passionately fond of books and music. and she has been allowed to sit at the piano or over book with her shoulders rounded fin distressing manner.
 Her forward shoulders cause her chest to recede. This position affects the whole body. She is coming to have protruding abdomen. which almost always accompanies round shoulders.
 She is near-s sighted. This may be considered a misfortune. not fault. We will return to this matter later.
 She bites her nails continually while in company Occasionally she bites her pretty lips. She is a most bashful child, and her difhdence has led her to pick up these disagreeable habits. She suffers constantly from the feel ing that people are looking at her" as she expresses 1t, and she cannot sit or stand at repose under the imagined stare.
 Do you wonder the poor child is known as the Ugly Duckling? And

DISORDER

After spending all the means had went to Memphis. In less than three weeks I was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of suffering I was discharged as cured. In less than a month every bone in my body seemed to be affected and felt as if they would break at the least exertion. Again I was compelled to resign, and I returned to the hospital. for seven weeks stay. When I came out was advised to try farming. When first went on the farm 1 prevailed on the only firm who handled drugs to get me one dozen bottles of s. s. s. At that time both of my hands were broken out with blisters and was covered with boils and sores. Tn the meantime my druggist had gotten two dozen bottles of S. $. s. for me and I began its use, and after taking the thirteenth bottle not a sore or boil was visible. R. B. POWELL.

CANADA HAS
AN ExcELEENT CLIMATE.

Favored.

The saskatchewan Valley Very Highly
z avored.
An interesting feature Of Western
Canada Is Its climate. Those who
have made a study Of 1t speak highly
OF IL The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
u the same time giving valuable In
formation concerning railway rates.
etc, to those interested in the country.
As has been said. the climate is ex-
cellent. The elevation Of this part Of
Canada Sc about 800 feet above the
sea, about twice that Of the average
for Minnesota. It is@a very desirable
altitude. The country has a very
equable climate taking the seasons
through. The winters are bright and
the summers are pleasantly warm. n
r. Stupart, director OF the meteorologi-
cal service for Canada, says:
THE salient features OF the climate
OF the Canadian northwest territories
are q clear. bracing atmosphere dur
ing the greater part Of the year, and a
medium rainfall and snowfall. The
mean temperature for July at Winpi-
peg is sc, and Prince Albert g. The
former temperature is higher than at
any part OF England, and the latter is
very similar to that found In many
parts OF the southern countries"
All Prince Albert the average daily
maximum In July 10 76 and the mini
mum As. Owing to this high day tenn
peraturs with much sunshine, the
crops come to maturity quickly.
Moisture Ia ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley, being about is inches an
nually. It Is notable that about IS
per cent of the moisture falls during
the crop months. Thus, Western Can
ada gets a. much moisture when it is.
needed and with several hours more
sunshine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, it is
not dimcult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly, sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March.
Harvest comes In August, about the
middle. Cyclones. billiards. dust and
sand storms are unknown.
