The Word "Obey.n

Unquestionably the word and the
idea .'obey" as applied to woman alone
are wrong. They belong to an age in
which the man was the legal ruler of
the house, and they should have no
part Of marriage as we now under
stand 1t, a sacred contract where the
husband and wife are equal partners
in the life Of the family and meet on
equal terms Rev. S. U. Sherman,
Of Jamaica Plain, has endeavored in a
letter to contemporary to show that
the promise Of obedience is in the last
analysis quite in accordance with
what he terms 'the nature Of things"
When differing judgments arise in the
family, he goes on to say, final de-
cision must be made by somebody if
harmony of opinion has not otherwise
been reached. by whom more nat
urally and inevitably than by the hus-
band and .father?" What Mr.. Shear
man fails to consider is that when any
such dispute as he instances does arise
in family, the remembrance that the
wife promised in the marriage service
to "obey" has never been and can be
a solvent Of the problem. Divorce in
stead Of obedience comes then.-Ex-
change.

A Woman,s Money Value.

There have been more silly poetry
and sentiment about the home than
about any other thing in our modern
life. We don't want silly poetry and
sentiment any longer. We want facts
and to know what is our duty in this
emergency. The home for many years
has been on false basis. We want
1t put on basis Of recognition Of the
fact that woman in the household has
a pecuniary value. If 1 earn 81 900 in
profession and give up that profess
sion to marry John Jones, to care for
his household and to bring up his chill
dren, am worth $1,000 to John Jones.
OF course If woman is doing nothing
in home her services are not worth
anything. But there ought not to be
any such woman in existence, and we
want no such women--Olympia

Explanation OF QuarrelsOme Couple on
Trolley Car.
do you see those two?" said the
conductor Of the suburban trolley car
to man on the back platform, 'that
man and women in there who are
paving so?
The man answered that he did He
might have said that he had been
watching them for the last hlleen min
utes, and had been wondering whether
they were sister and brother or man
and wife, and whether they were can
didates for the divorce court or were
in a dispute over their parents will.
"They go on that way every time
they come to town. the conductor con-
tinued, and they don't seem to care
whether people get onto them or not.
1t used to bother me for time.
"Other felix's would come out to me
and ask who the quarreling couple
were, ant. couldn't tell them. Once
an old man declared that they were
crazy and Insisted that ] should put
them off the car, as he couldn't read
his newspaper in peace"
All this time the man and the wom-
an were deep in their argument. The
man held visiting card in one hand,
and on the back Of it had written or
drawn something.
The man on the back platform with
the conductor craned his neck and
managed to see that the markings on
the card were mostly straight lines,
and he came to the conclusion that
they were brother and sister after all,
and that the lines represented the
boundary lines of some property they
were quarreling over.
But the conductor, who had been up
the car collecting fares, now returned
and explained the mystery. The cou-
pie were man and wife. The man Is
an instructor In geometry in a large
private school, and he has a wide rep
utation in his speciality.
His wife, however, Is quite as good
at geometry as he, and wherever they
go their chief topic Of conversation Is
the hobby Of both-geometry. The
lines on the card described some geo.
metrical problem, and the discussion
was over the best way to solve it.
"They 60 on awful sometimes" the
conductor explained ''They get SO ex-
cited over their hypothenuses and an
giles and such that they forget where
they are going, and If ! don't happen
to know where they want to get off

Fresh Eggs.

1t is an open secret that three per-
fectly fresh eggs will, in making cake,
ETC., do the work of four stale ones.
"a new-laid egg sounds we'll when
read Of in books, but, in reality, one
should not be eaten the same day on
which it is laid At first the shell is
soft, and the flavor not so fine as when
it is twenty-four hours DID, BY the
time it has attained this age, the shell
has peculiar roughness, and then
yolk and white are at perfection point
Distrust a smooth, glossy egg, as it is
almost invariably SO old that the air
has had time to begin the work Of dis
indignation upon the lime composing
the shell.
There are various tests which you
may apply to this very important and
most uncertain article of diet. Among
others is that of holding the egg be-
tween you and strong light. If the
interior has a clouded, opaque look,
avoid it. Another test is that Of drop
ping an egg in water. If it floats, it
Is not doubtful" but undoubtedly
bad! A raw egg that has the slight

away, and If possible, buried.

part Of the mother and the children
Where the left ear curves forward anl
the right ear only stands out away
from the head, the mother or nurse
has always carried baby on the righ
arm, and not been careful to see that
its ear was in the proper position. A
baby should be carried on the left as
well as the right arm. An ear-cap is
very useful piece of head-wear for
babies and small children, for it pre-
vents the deformities mentioned An
other source of deformity, and the
most universal, is the setting the cap
or hat down behind the ear, thus
forcing that member out of place and
making it stand away from the head.
Crooked noses and mouths are largely
the result Of the way that baby is held

months and years. Mothers are re-
sponsible for these blemishes on the

Making Married Life Happy.


Probably the great reason why there
are SO many unhappy marriages to-
cay lies in the growing restlessness OF
the age. In the good old days before
women were emancipated they were
content to stay at home and minister
to the needs of their lord, their chill
dren and their household. Matinees,
summer sales and afternoon teas were
unknown. Our grandmothers were not
always racking their brains for some
fresh diversion, some new way of kill
ing time. They lived simple, healthy,
frugal lives, and Tin spite Of the
swooning they are represented, in the
novels of the period, as INDUCING in)
had a more tranquil nervous system.
The woman Of to-day Is constantly
craving for excitement. II she is of
the lower middle class she passes her
nights in heated sale rooms, bidding
frenziedly for articles she does not
want; If she is Of the upper middle
class she disports herself upon some
promenade or wears herself to pieces
over parish work. 10 sit at home is
the only thing she detests
Now this is unfortunate, because
man IA far more conservative animal
than woman, by the way, likes moth
ing better than to sit by his own fire.
side, with his feet on his own fender,
smoking the pipe Of peace. While his
fancee pictures matrimony as whirl
Of calls and parties, he dreams Of a
quiet haven sheltered from every wind
which blows, place where, once the
turmoil Of the world shut out, he can
rest and refresh himself or the recur-
ring struggle.
Just as long, dear girl reader, as
your ideas of what constitutes happy
marriage differ so violently from those
Of the average man, just so long will
there be dozens and dozens of unhap-
py marriages.
If you really wish to make your
married life happy, you must give up
all thoughts Of your own pleasure,
you must abandon the idea that rush
ing to and fro is desirable. You must
settle down-never mind If 1t sounds
dull-and determine to make a home
for your husband. Never mind about
the carpets or the curtains; these
count for nothing; make it place
where the sunshine Of serenity shines,
a place where worries are kissed away
and cares forgotten, place where
cross words and angry looks never
come. place where discomfort can
not live, and. above all, a peaceful
place, where he may gather strength
for the struggle always going on---the
struggle Of life.

Dry Herbs for Winter.

Herbs for storing should always bs

the roots and wash the rest in solu
ton of borax, SO as to free the herb
in punches and hang up in the sun
dry. Directly the leaves are crisr
take them from the stalks and poun
them in a mortar. Then store in clear
dry bottles. Sweet herbs may b
mixed, but tarragon, mint and sag
should each be bottled separately.
