The Quality of Neatness.

Comparatively few men are distin'
guished for habits OF neatness. yet mono
can forgive lack of it in their wives.
Yet neatness is one of the rarest OF
feminine qualities. Early and persist
-ent must be the training which carries
the girl into womanhood with her
bump of neatness" well developed.
Unless inherently fastidious during
school days she is liable to drift into
careless habits which she never out
grows. One girl may have trick of
leaving shoes about her room. AS q
mere tot she was permitted to do this,
and as she grew older the untidy Gus
tom was never abandoned. for the sim
pie reason that she herself did not no.
tice anything unusual about it, and
probably nobody else took the trouble
to correct her. Without thinking any
thing about it, some girls, otherwise
above reproach in thOir personal hab-
it's, leave lunches Of combings on their
dressing tables, while the combs them
selves are permitted to retain for days
at time their harvest of dead hairs.
This is one of the habits which, when
carried into the matrimonial state,
send young husbands back to their
clubs.

Nufclxuess Ia Relative.

The careful American observer soon
finds that the standard of quickness is
to be determined in England, as every
where else, by the point of view. Peo-
pie who go slowly on new ground may
turn out to be quick enough when
wholly at home with any particular
line of thought.
How odious and complicated, for in
stance, seems to an American observer
the computation of pounds, shillings
and pence! 1t seems strange that any
nation should consent for day to en-
ploy anything but decimal currency.
Yet with what lightning rapidity does
a London bookkeeper make his com
putations! What life of tedious for.
pality seems that of an English house
servant! Yet there was no slowness
of intellect in that footman in an earl's
family who, when his young lord fell
over the banisters and the next of kin
called to ask il the elder boy was hurt
answered promptly, KILLED, my lord"
thus accomplishing in an instant the
transfer Of the title appertaining to an
,earl's eldest son and heir only.-Thom-
as Wentworth Higginson in Atlantic.

The womnn WHO works.

Whose fault is it that the woman
works? If it be n crime or a wrong,
she is guiltless, for mans laws say
she must not take he's own life, and
her only choice is between that or en-
gaging in gainful occupation. The
persistency with which men critics in
sist upon regarding the woman wage
Garner as an inexplicable problem is n
dscreditatAe reflection on their COM
mon sense. Since the worker is every
where in evidence there is no difficulty
in observing many varieties of her.
The majority of women wage earners
give every indication of being the vic
tins of adverse circumstances, and
only the craziest imagination could
conceive that millions of women would
voluntarily toll In mills and offices
through summers blistering heat,
when trees and field flower, woods and
seas seductively beckon to holiday
making, or that in the bitter weather
of midwinter they would brave the
terrors of blizzard for less vital rea-
son than to keep body and soul to-
gether.-Chicago News.

KITCHEN nrCro.

Kitchen floors painted with boiled
linseed oil are very easily cleaned.
Kerosene oil and whiting mixed will
remove iron rust. This combination
will also clean tins perfectly and will
remove stains from porcelain baking
dishes.
If In covering a kitchen table with
oilcloth layer of brown paper is put
on first, it will prevent the oilcloth
cracking and make it wear three times
as long.
Saucepans that have been badly
burned can be remedied by boiling
soda in them-a small teaspoonful of
baking soda to the average "burn,"
with water enough to keep it from boil,
ing dry. Boil ten or fifteen minutes.
Brass pans should be cleaned before
use. Rub them with salt and vinegar;
then rinse thoroughly with water and
dry with a soft cloth. Thus you may
be sure that the pans are free from
verdigris, which is strong poison
Keep a pair of scissors on nail in
the kitchen and do not allow them to
be taken to any part of the house, even
if you have to resort to tying them
there. They are often needed, and it
is q waste of time to be obliged TO run
to some other room for another pair.

The farmer who makes every step
count and who gets the best work
out of his tools and machinery, is
never heard to grumble that farming
does not pay. The best machinery is
necessary to the successful farmer,
and when he finds machine that will
do a great variety of work at a
ridiculously small expense he at
once secures that aid. Over in Sagi-
nav they make the Michigan Five
Horse, which in. our opinion no
farmer can afford to be without.
1t is an engine run by gasoline at a
cost almost nothing. 1t is adapted to
she'll and shred corn, grind feed and
stalks, saw wood, drill wells, and to
many other labor-saving purposes. It
is simplicity itself, having fewess
parts and those are most easily got
at. 1t is by far the best make of any
of the gasoline engines which farm
ers are now using so extensively. Its
makers have had IS years expert
ence. They make several other mod
els, all of them as perfect as the
Michigan Five-Horse, and will be
pleased to send an illustrated book
let about their engines to any farmer.

Many east London BARRIERS, who have
been journeylnen in many west end es-
adjustments. declare that young cos
termongers and barmen, with the pc
culiar rolling curl that protrudes from
under the cap or bowler, are far more
particular about their hair than the
sons of the aristocracy in general.
This same curl, standing forth from
surface OF hair that seems to have
been fiatironed, is not achieved with

There is No Beauty Like the
Beauty OF Health.

Nothing encourages beauty of face
and form so much as healthy body.
Very much depends on the condition
of the organs peculiar to women.
These should perform their functions
regularly and be free from those
weakening influences so often con-
nected with life in the city.

speciality of woman's diseases, finally
found prescription, whose ingre-
dents were entirely of vegetable orr
gin, which had a marvellous effect on

ExanneIs For babies.

Considerable controversy RACES at the
present time around the question OF
flannel for babies. The majority Of
authorities upon the subject assert that
this fabric Should always be worn next
the skin. while others say that some
babies cannot bear flannel With these
latter have learned by painful expe.
rience 10 agree. says writer In Won.
nn's Home Companion. Examine I'M
der a microscope the softest flannel ever
made. The wool fiber looks like spears

A BOWERY INCIDENT.
The Invited Guest who Was Chilled
Uoc nst

The Invited Guest who Was Called
Before the Feast.
The missionary had finished his talk
to the crowd of derelicts in Bowery
mission and went around the room TO
shake them by the hand. There was
one man sitting OH bench whose face
was so utterly loathsome that the mis-
sionary's gorge rose in his throat, and
he was compelled to pass him by. The
mans dulled eye marked the look Of
disgust, and in tone of mingled de-
lection and resentment he cried out:
"Say. mister. why don't you shake
hands wild meT
The young missionary turned, con-
science stricken, looked into the sin
SCARED features and grasped the mans
hand.
REALLY, brother, you must forgive
me-" he stammered. Ell couldn't help
it when / saw you-your face. But I'll
make amends. You must take dinner
with me tomorrow night"
The broken man glanced at his rags
In confusion, blushed like a girl and
gasped:
"Wot! Me take dinner wild you! Me
go to your house! Mew
"Yes, l mean 1t. I'll come tomorrow
night and get you"
True to his word, the missionary pre-
scented himself at the lodging house
the next evening and inquired for the
man. A corpse was lying on the table,
a handkerchief spread over its face.
The clerk jerked his thumb in the d.
rection Of the body.
"Thats Wilson," he said. Gle had
fixed himself up and was waitin' for
you; dropped dead half an hour ago.

A DOUBLE RESURRECTION.
Each of the Generals Thought That

the Other Was Dead.
General Barlow of the Union army
fell wounded and, it was thought, dy-
ing during the first day Of the battle Of
Gettysburg and within the Confederate
lines. General Gordon, cantering by
saw him and recognized him. Dis
mounting, he approached the PROSTATE
man and inquired what he could do for
him.
II am dying" said Barlow. "Just
reach into my coat pocket, draw out
the letter you find there and read it to
me. 1t is from my wife,"
Gordon read the letter.
"Now, general" said Barlow, please
destroy that letter. want you to noti-
fy her-she is in the town over yonder
what has happened to me-"
II WILL" replied Gordon.
He sent for Mrs. Barlow, giving her
safe conduct through the southern
lines, and then rode away. certain that
Barlow's death was a question of only
few hours at most.
But Barlow did not die. His wife
came promptly and had him removed
to the town Of Gettysburg, where she
nursed him so faithfully that he recov-
cred.
Many years passed until one night
both generals were guests at a dinner
in Washington. Some one brought
them together and formally introduced
them. Time had altered the personal
appearance of both.
"Are you any relation to the General
Barlow who was killed at Gettys-
burg" asked Gordon.
"Yes; very near relation" an
swered Barlow, with a laugh. IT am
the very man who was killed. But
have been informed that man named
Gordon lost his life in battle later on.
He saved my life at Gettysburg. Are
you any kin to that manr
IL am he," was the reply.
Both heroes laughed as they gave
each other n heartier handshake.-
