Individua1itx and Force.


There Is one statement that may
safely be applied to the women who
represent the best development in all
the largest western Cities" says Mrs.
Reginald de Koven in Everybody's.
Given the same origin, the same
stock, which is for the most part very
purely English, and from which the
American type as it now exists has
been evolved in both west and east, the
woman VINO has passed the formative
years of her life in the west distinct
~ profits by the experience. Particu-
larry Is this the case when in common
with her eastern sister, part of the
western girls education is obtained
abroad.
1.-THE western woman possesses with
out any doubt more accented in
d1viduality and oftentimes a refreshing
breezlness, which, however, rarely
oVersteps conventionality. Thus she
has a force and viVacity lacking in her
less original eastern sisters. This in
dividuality and force she never loses,
no matter where the events of her life
may lead her."

Pin-Money at Home.

With a family of small children, it
was the desire of my heart to make a
little spending-money, as we call it.
Every one said that was splendid
hand to make doughnuts, so thought
my friends might take pleasure in buy
ing them from my children.
One bright Tuesday morning start
ed my little girl and boy out with new
chip baskets on their arms, each car
rying six dozen rich brown doughnuts,
to sell at ten cents a dozen. Having
instructed them where to go, they soon
returned with glowing faces, and their
hands full of dimes and pennies, carry
ing empty baskets, and telling me that
80 many said, Come again."
In a short time my regular baking
days were Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays, and my pin-money increas-
ed. made room in q side room of

The smart girl has a new little way,
and not an altogether commendable
one, Of carrying her umbrella these
days. She used to hold it by the handle
in an ordinary common-sense way;
now she grasps it at the middle. and

five degrees, with the handle pointing
downward in front of her, and the

Up In the attic where mother goes

She kneels at its side on the attic boards.
And tenderly, soft and slow,
ehe counts all the treasures she fondly
boards
The things of the long ago.

Buckles and lace-and a little shoe:
Sadly she lays that down.

1t is not a pleasant sight to see lot
Of cows in the barnyard with their
noses thrust through a hole broken
in the ice covering a tub Of water,
nor Is it any wonder that such cows
are poor mixers. Years ago the writer
worked on the old-time plan Of water
Ing cows once q day; at noon: after a
time he tried the plan Of watering
them twice daily; then the plan was
tried Of furnishing water three times
daily, during the winter, and a COM
parison of results showed that it paid
well. The water given at morning
and night is nearly warm, and the
COWS seem to enjoy 1t greatly during
the cold days. That given at noon
Is colder, but the chill is removed,
and the animals drink it freely. OF
course 1t is considerable work to
water COWS in this manner, but If one
has number Of animals, some con-
triVance can be put In operation which
will make the work comparatively
easy. Try it for the next two or
three months, watch the results in the
milk pail, and you will agree that it
pays.

The Chatterinx Habit,

ABOUT nine-tenths of the fool jokes
about womankind have absolutely no
foundation. But there is one subject
which is the target of the joke fac
tories, and it is one which permits no
exaggeration, because the real thing
Is worse than any joke that could
possibly be made-and that is the talk
ing habit.
There are different types Of takers,
but even the best become bore. There
Is the drawly lady, who takes hours
and hours to put story on the way.
There is the giggly girl, who pune
tuates her conversation essays with
smokers and titters But by far the
worst is the middle-aged dame, who
thinks she is still a little, kittenish
thing, and who has the notion that
chatter is Wit-and talk means evil
dence Of brains. Heaven forbid that
such a fate should ever be yours or
mine. There's no telling what cruel
gift old age will bring, but of all the
evidences Of years-wrinkles, bitter
ness and snowy crowns-let us pray
to escape the babbling habit.
Usually the talky lady goes under
full head of steam. Someone, some
sad moment, has told her that she is so
vivacious that she is a joy of her
friends. From that time henceforth
and forever after she has but one am
bition-and that is to tattle. oh, my!
Oh, my!
1t is my opinion that when women
become separated from the vanity bug
and the talking habit they'll be vastly
smarter than men. This is not saying
that some men are not afflicted with
both of these blemishes-the mental
and verbal ones combined-but as a
general rule the two are pretty well
confined to the daintier sex.-Mme. Qui

Feeding for Weight,


Weight is the main object of the
farmer in fattening stock for market,
and this weight is easiest obtained by
feeding corn in order to produce fat.
farmers have long been taught by ex-
perience that fat is a desirable quail
tty and that it adds to the attractive
ness Of carcass on the stall. 1t has
been demonstrated at the experiment
stations, however, that the weight can
be secured of lean interspersed with
the fat, by feeding heterogeneous ra-
ton, which means that, in addition
to liberal supply of corn, an animal
should receive a variety Of food that
is not so rich in oil, starch and sugar
as corn. This fact is worthy Of con-
sideration.

To Clean PInn,aa.


AS white ostrich feathers are so
much used on hats this winter, here
is a little useful information as to the
manner of cleaning them: Make a
lather of pure soap with little am
monia in it, using about a quart of
water or more if the feathers are very
large. Move them to and fro gently In
this, then lightly press them from stem
to tip between the thumb and finger,
and do the same in an equal amount
OF clear hot water. Then repeat it in
one of cold water slightly tinted with
blue.
Hang them to dry where there is a
draught, and shake them at intervals;
before quite dry gently shake them
before a gas stove, or they can be
partially dried by steam over a pan
OF quick boiling water, and finished as
directed. Comb them carefully and
curl any stray strands with a silver
knife.-Vogue.

Married Mans Three s+ages.

A married man, in his early matri-
monial stages, has three different
periods. At first he is in love and
sees everything rose color; then he gets
bored and cross, that is the critical
period; finally, he either becomes a
brute or he sinks into the lethargy Of
utter Indifference. You have reached
the second act; if you are clever you
can make your husband your best
friend for life; and remember that
nothing on earth can sever the bond
that unites man to woman whose
unselfish tact has steercd him safely
over the most difficult part of his life.

The farm offers many opportunities
for enterprise. There is plenty of room
for advancement, and every expert
ment made, no matter how small, en-
ables the farmer either to increase his
yields or avoid mistakes. 1t is in the
management Of the details that the
savings occur, and the keeping Of ac-
counts will enable the farmer to con"
duct his farm with a better knowledge
Of his operations.

because the commands of the officers

ToMMYs DECISION.
All Things Considered, He'd Prefer
a Goat.

a Goat.
Little five-year-old Tommy Winston
had been worrying his father about
purchasing a pony The little fellow
felt that he needed some kind Of a
playmate. Tommy's father assured
him that it was impossible for him to
buy a pony. 1t would cost too much,
and, besides, he would have to build
a stable.
"And you'd have to buy hay, too,
wouldn't you?" chimed in Tommy.
There was 1ull in the converse
ton. BY and by, thinking to appease
the troublesome youngster, Mr.. Wins
ton said:
"Some day the Lord will send you
little brother, Tommy, and then you
will have all the playmate that you
will want"
well, said Tommy, Il wish the
Lord would hurry up, cause I'd rather
have a brother than a pony, anyhow,
I think"
Some months later Tommy's papa
told him that his little brother had
come from heaven. Tommy was de-
lighted. When they allowed him to
go in to see the new arrival, little
Tommy was laughing and chuckling
in high glee. He wanted to kiss the
baby; he wanted to hold him in his
arms, and actually desired to take him
out for stroll. When he found that
he could not do any of these things,
then he asked thousand questions.
Did the Lord have many little babies
in heaven?" WAS all the little babies
angels?" did all the Lords little ba-
bies have no teeth?" and so on.
Five or six days after the coming
of the little brother Tommy's pleasure
began to moderate somewhat. The
nurse had told him that he must stay
out Of the room if he couldn't keep
quiet. Not an hour passed during
the day but that she would open the
door and haloo "Sh-sh! Don't make
so much noise. You'll wake up the
baby"
1t was not long before Tommy de-
cided that the little brother was more
of a curse than a blessing. He thought
he would take his troubles to his
father. One evening he went into the
library and climbed up on his fathers
knee.
Papa" he said, IT tell you I don't
want my little baby brother, after all.
think I'd rather have pony!"
Before his father could recover from
his establishment Tommy went on:
Why don't you take little baby
brother and swap him for a pony?"
Il couldn't do that, my son." said
Mr.. Winston.
Tommy thought a while and then
said:
We'll, maybe nobody would give YOU
pony for him, but don't YOU think
somebody would let you have at least
a goat if you was to let 'em have lit
tie brother? "-Lippincott MAGAZINE.
