Eather,s Place In the Family.

The paternal domination lasted long.
but today Il modification of it is OBJ
servable. 1t is among the least cult
waited and civilized persons that this
modification least obtains. In law and
outward usage the father is indeed
still the head, but in u more adj
vanced and humane societies his head
ship is largely nominal. Instead of ar
bitrary and pragmatical, the father is
now courteous. gentle, compliant and,
save in emergency. retiring. He depu-
ties to the mother the direct manage
ment of the children. The economy of
the household is her care. He %consults
with her upon urgent matters only.
His functions are now those Of proyid-
er and, so to say. background. He
earns the living, escorts and protects
wife and offspring as occasion requires,
and his masculine strength and courage

Almost a Luxury.

If diamonds continue to go up in
price even the rich will feel that they
cannot afford to wear them except in
their safes or on their shirt fronts
when the police are around.
On account of the monopoly that re-
suited from the Boer war diamonds
have gone up almost one-third in price.
so that the young lady who becomes
engaged at this time is all of one-third
dearer to the young man than she was
to the one to whom she was engaged
last year.
1t will thus be seen that if she does
not eat one-third more ice cream she
is not living up to her opportunities.
OF course there are times when a man
feels that he must have diamonds in
order to be happy, but if they continue
to go up in price the wise mar Will
cease to look on them as a necessity
and will do business with the glass
trust when he feels that he must put
up a sparkling front.

Architecture and Decoration.

1t is a well known fact, although a
fact too often ignored, that architec-
ture and decoration must ever go hand
in hand. If a house is built in a GER
tain style 1t is the duty of the dec
orator to conform to that style, and in
so doing his decorations will har-
monize with the structural limitations.
and this harmony of the general
scheme means good decoration. A
house is said to be well planned if its
proportions are good, and well decorat-
ed If there are a harmony of parts and
a clever handling of proportion.-Lon-
don Madame.

Milk Baths.

It is no secret that baths of milk are
beauty preservers, and if taken before
wrinkles come they will keep them
away. Almost equally good are baths
of rain water to which enough simple
tincture of benzoin has been added to
whiten the water. This has a deli
cious fragrance. 1t is astringent and
better for oily than for dry skins.

NOTES BY THE WAY.

1t is believed by the people of North
Dakota that there is a strong artesian
basin or flow underlying; the whole
state, which might be touched by wells
at various depths. With a view to
such development, Engineer N. H. Oar
ton is about to investigate the sup
posed resources. If th.s should prove
practicable land values would take a
big jump.
The great field of crystallized salt az
RADIO desert, is 264 feet below the leve!
of the sea and is more than a thousank
acres in extent. Its surface is as white
as snow, and when the sun is shining
its brilliance is too dazzling for the
eye. The field is constantly supplied
by the many salt springs in the ada
cent foothills.
An explorer who has often by COM
pulsion eaten the flesh of animals not
generally used as human food says
that grilled lion steaks are delicious
and much superior to those of the
tiger; that the flesh of the rhinoceros,
properly prepared, has all the good
qualities of pork; that the trunk and
feet of young elephants resemble veal,
and that stewed boa constructor is a
splendid substitute for rabbit.
A Chicago mother has adopted a
novel plan for keeping before her the
Image of her daughter at various ages.
When her daughter Mignon was a mere
baby she began to take a regular series
of photographs, which she has contin-
ued ever since. Up to the present time
she has taken in all about 400 photo
graphs, all entirely different in pose.
Together they comprise probably the
most complete child's portrait gallery
in the world.

AS EASY.
Needs Only a Little Thinking.

The food of childhood often decides
whether one is to grow up well nour-
ished and healthy or weak and sickly
from improper food.
It's just as easy to be one as the 9TH
er, provided we get a proper start.
A wise physician like the Denver
Doctor who knew about food, can &C
complish wonders, provided the patient
is willing to help and will eat only
proper food.
Speaking of this case the MotherS said
her little four-year-old boy was suffer-
ing from a peculiar arrangement of the
stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet
became so swollen he couldn't take a
step. I'VE called a Doctor who said
at once we must be very careful as to
his diet, as improper food was the
only cause Of his sickness. Sugar espe-
eially, he forbid.

principal food he prescribed was Grape

but is the natural sweet of the gTains.'

QoctorinQ in Ireland.

A physician in the out of-the-way
corners of Ireland has many oppor-
tunities to laugh, though his amuse-
ment must be mingled with anxiety,
for his ignorant patients do strange
things. They have great faith in the
doctor, superstitious faith in his
drugs and appliances, but they often
make nonsense of his orders. Mr..
Michael MacDonagh, in his Irish Life
and Character" gives some instances
of Irish simplicity in dealing with the
physician.
A dispensary doctor once prescribed
two pills for a sick laborer which h.
sent by the mans wife in a small
box, bearing the direction: THE
whole to be taken Immediately"
On visiting the patient a little later,
the doctor was surprised to find that
the pills had not helped him. He
asked the mans wife if she had given
him the medicine.
81 did, DOCTOR" replied she, but
maybe the lid hasn't come off yet -
The sick man had swallowed box and
all.
Mrs. Murphy's husband was ex-
t-emely i'll, and she consulted the ply
stefan.
I'm sorry, madam" he said grave
ly, but your husband is dying by
inches"
We'll" she said with an air of
hopeful resignation, ivan good thing
is, me poor man is six feet tree in his
stockin' feet, so he'll Iasht some time
yet
An Irishman, who had sent for the
doctor for the first time in his life
watched with establishment while the
physician took his clinical thermome
ter from it's case, slipped it under the
patients armpit, and told him to
keep it there a second or two.
Mike lay still, almost afraid to
breathe, but when the doctor removed
the thermometer, he drew a long
breath and exclaimed: "Ah. 1 do feel
a dale better already, sor!"

or nation who is a stranger to God. The
grandest resolve which ever moved in
human breast is the purpose to find
God, and the most glorious discovery,
the most blessed experience into which
the soul of man can enter is that Of find
ing God. Judah under apostate and
Goddess kings had lost its God. The
nation was a stranger to the true God,
and had chosen for itself the false gods
of the heather nations about it. They
delighted to indulge in all the licen-
tious pleasures of the heather worship.
They wanted to be like the nations about
them. They put werldliness before God
illness, the desires of the flesh before the
eternal needs of the soul. And the
result was that they knew not God. But
the Spirit of God, moving upon the
heart of the young king Asa. led him to
resolve to seek the Lord. What an in
fiuence one life can exert How one
determined soul can encourage and help
those who are weaker to choose the
right! An Asa in Judah could lead a
nation toward God until it could be de-
clared: They sought the Lord with
their whole desire, and He was found
of them" And you and can, by seek
ing God with all our hearts, not only
find Him. but inspire others with the
same desire to find God and encourage
them to seek with the whole heart until
He is found of them. Oh, that rul-
ers to-day might realize this truth,
and stand courageously for righteous
ness. Oh, that those in positions OF
trust and authority might have the
spirit of Asa come upon them. On,
that they might boldly declare their
own determination to seek God ana
His righteousness, and might use their
influence and authority to help others
to make that decision too. Oh. thaU
in churches that are dead and cold
in Journalism, or poisoned with the
intoxication of pleasure and worldll-
ness, there might be brave, heroic
God-fearing souls who would stand
boldly forth and declare the purpose
to seek the Lord with the whole heart,
Oh, that in the homes where God Is
unknown, where the things of this life
shut out the things of eternity, the
one who has found God in saving
grace might stand forth and seek Him
with all the heart for the salvation
of the dear ones out of Christ. GOD
would honor such seeking.
