A Cheap Way to Travel.

There are three ways to travel. One
Is to range abroad over the earth, and
to observe the work and the play of
various peoples; another way is to
read; q third is to go to some place
where many examples of work and
play are gathered together. The first
way is the best; the second way is the
cheapest; the third is a happy medium
between the two, and especially APP
peals to those who do not have large
bank accounts. That is the reason we
go to the worlds fairs, and is a good
reason for going to ST. Louis this sum-
mer. One sees there the whole world
in little space. Certainly the OPP
portunity to see so many stately build
ings, so much fine ornam entation both
of grounds and structures, comes not
too often. And when you add to this
the pleasure of mingling with hun.
dred thousand of your fellow-men, and
observing the dress and manners Of
people from Mississippi and Massachu-
sets and California and North Dakota,
to say nothing Of the exotics which
blossom abundantly in many parts of
the grounds, you have very many very
good reasons for going to st. Louis and
putting in several sightseeing days
there.-Woman's Home Companion.

THE STATURE OF WOMEN.

In one respect the women of to-day
are approaching the angelic standard
in pictures, are always tall. The aure-
Die and wings, it is feared, are beyond
each. Another popularity Of the heav-
emily messengers, which earthly young
ladies are not likely to initiate, is that
they never wear shoes-not even san
dals. SO far as their fair hair is con-
cerned, it may be conlterfeited with
the help of peroxide, but, If Professor
Mason's theory be correct, the time is
not far distant when a real blonde
will be such rarity that artists who
paint angels will have trouble to OBJ
tain a satisfactory model.

A HIGH VIEW OF MARRIAGE.

The industrial view of marriage
makes it at least a business partner
ship in which the woman is entitled
to her share Of the profits and so sat
isles the instinct for fair play. A
well-knoWn writer on feminine social
economics considers that high stand
ard OF marriage is best maintained
by husband and wife alike earning
money outside Of the home, even if the
woman earns no more than she might
save by doing her own work at home.
But il wlfeS contribution in hours
Of labor inside OF her home can be
reckoncd of equal pecuniary value to
that done for some one else's home
housework can no longer be considered
mental. However it may be, the view
OF marriage as an industry is not mega
tived by II wlfe's working at home
Instead OF being employed elsewhere
and If marriage is really an industry
the feminine conscience may be so
stimulated thereby, that frivolity,
selfShness, laZiness and nervous pros
tration may cease under the strenuous
ness of honest doing.-Boston Trans

so weak that she has not been moved

blind, she takes a lively interest in the
events of the day. Her memory for
the most part is good.
Grandma" as everybody calls her,
eats well, enjoys her meals, likes to
talk, recites poetry and sings at times.
When asked how she felt and how

Of how her grandfather entertained

ordered to leave the Puritans in 1886.
The first meal he had after being
thrown from his Puritan home was
at the home of Mrs. Coston's grand
father.

where she was married, She crossed

only living person who crossed the

Mrs. Matte Smith, aged fifty-two
years, lives i'll Seattle.
