MARRYING FOR A HOME.

Home is 4 wOman's realsphere OF
usefulness. however much conditions
and necessities have forced her into
other and more extended ones.
No true woman is Indifferent to home
and all that it means to herself and
others.
The more truly wOmanly ehe is, the
more she appreciates and values it.
But to marry for the homes sake is
|, like buying picture for its frame, or
valuing the binding Of the book above
the book itself.
No one can make the home a more
important thing in married life than
the man one marries. and in no posi-
bic case can the home satisfy one if
the husband fails.
Love for the man one marries will
make home of an attic, or the wealth
er side of hedge row.
But married life, where the home
comes first and the husband second
or bad third. is hideous travesty Of
what it was meant to be, and it can
never draw anything but blank in
the marriage lottery.
The girl who .marries for home has
provided herself for the best of her
days with cage, which she must
halve with another being.
Both are oblivious of the real rea-
sons for marriage, the highest and the
best.
Both put the home before the maker
of it, and that leads to sure disappoint-
ment and failure in the end
Marriage can hardly be lottery in
the case of these people.
One could tell them so confidently
anything in their case but dreary
blank.

double prospect Of success
The Atchison young girls are picking
on one of the young men who goes in
their crowd. They repeat his sayings
and make fun Of them, and have sue
ceeded in making him a laughing
stock. The young man is worthy and
industrious and is generally admired
by the business men with whom he
comes in contact. We have heard
some of his sayings that the girls
laugh at, and it is the judgment Of our
maturer years that the only reason
they have for making fun of him is
that he talks common sense. No prin-

NOT AN EMPTY FORM.

The man or woman who is frequent
~ heard to rail against social etiquette
may safely be put down as one who is
habitually unkind and inconsiderate.
The established forms are far from
being the shallow and superfluous
regulations that such people would
have US believe them.
Etiquette is the aesthetic express
sion of certain foundation principles
necessary in orderly character build
ing.
Without a break of link missing the
more rational and genteel forms Of
social usage will be found to gradual
ly unfold wholesome and essen
tial factors in the development of the
highest character.
There are various little acts and GER
emonies in this social usage that would
seem sufficiently conventional to be
practiced by all. With our educational
facilities and the abundant circulation
of literature, followed by the social
advantages enjoyed by the masses Of
Americans, it would seem that we
should not only take pleasure in exer
cising good manners, but should enjoy
the company Of well-bred people, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
Such an article as an essay on So
cial etiquette should be unnecessary,
but it is not Heedlessness has been
one of our besetting sins. There is

mon politeness, and advised to sharp

In attaching importance to social
etiquette, 'faddish" ceremonial fool
ishness without some wholesome
foundation principle) Is not to be con-
sidered. Etiquette is a civihty with
out which we do not have polite So
clety.
Etiquette is necessary as a sort Of
public dress rehearsal Of that frater-
nal graclousness OF character that rec
ognizes the right of the other, one TO
our consideration. DR.. Trail, the cele-
brated hygienist, often said: IF it
were not for women. men would soon
revert to barbarism." So much for
social form with its civility, cordiaH-
ty, sincerity and fraternal interest
In no instance does etiquette make
deeper impression on us than in
dining and dinner giving. Among a
few Of the persons one dimes with he
feels comfortable, dignified ard self
respecting. The host or hostess holds
all in harmonious relationship. All
things seem to work together for the
common good, as II material objects
and social sentiment joyfully obeyed
some magical want that was swayed
by unseen fairies. Everything moves
In such order we take special note of
nothing save happy satisfaction. No
one object stands out aggressively. All
is for concord; and we feel better and
more inspired for such an evening.
Such is the power Of an ideal hostess
and a strict observance Of etiquette
on the part Of both guests and enter
tainers.

THE BATH IN LAW,
question Now Before California
Court for Decision.

SoSStioH NOW BEFORE California
Court for Decision.
What constitutes bath?
rms is peculiar question with
which a California court is now wrest-
ling. An anxious world impasiently
awaits the decision.
A California householder is being
sued for the price of heater that was
guaranteed to heat sufficient water for
bath, and the defendant has proved
that 1t supplied only IS gallons of hot
water. which he alleged to be insult
slant for bath.
The plaintiR insisted that So gallons
10 ample, declaring that "a man could
get wet first on one side and then on
the other" and that sit is not neoes-
sary that he should take plunge in
swimming pool"
On this question the issue is Joined.
The court has the matter under ad-
visement
The decision will, of course, be of
great Importance, no matter on which
side 1t is rendered. The legal quantity
- "~~SA ASSSoSooiy W q ICSdI UcSu
ought to be clearly defined, for the
protection Of the public against people
who evidently regard pint or so suffi.
cient.
Bible students will recall the fact
that among the ancient Hebrews the
bath" was a regular liquid measure,
and scholars have agreed on eight and
one-half gallons as it's modern equiva.
lent 1t would seem, therefore, that
II eight and one-half gallons was the
regulation amount for bodily additions
IN the days of Solomon, then 50 gal
Ions ought to be ample at the present
time
This important fact is cited. not
from any desire to unduly influence
the court. but merely to suhstantiate
the point that the bath ought 10 be
legally defined now as it was in the
time Of Solomon.
Ard when the requirements have
been fixed, even Chicago professors
ought to be made to conform to them.

Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our change
able climate. To protect the family from
colds and coughs is always serious prob
lem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in avoid
ing exposure and the use of proper cloth
ing will protect from the frequency and
perhaps the severity of colds, but with the
greatest of precautions they will come.
This is a settled fact of human experience.
Everybody must expect to be caught some
where or somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a draught,
or damp clothes, or it may be one of
thousand other little mishaps, but no one
is shrewd enough to always avoid the inev-
liable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science better
known than that Peruna cures catarrh
