Good Housekeeping. A house over
loaded with furnishings and ornamen-
tai CD impedimenta is far more diff
cult to keep clean and requires more
time for such cleaning than house
furnished according to the ideals of
good taste. But the housewife does
not understand how much extra work
it makes, and probably never allows
for it, for. if she had sense enough to
do this she would not belong to the
class that overfurnishes. A housemaid
is expected to care for certain rooms,
whatever their furnishing, and discon-
tent is, in many cases, the inevitable
result. Where single servant is en-
ployed general cleaning days is tax
upon strength, nerves and spirits,
which has its influence upon the work
of the rest of the week. Even in luxu-
rious homes, where many servants are
employed, the handling and care of
very valuable articles is a matter of
time and strain not often sufficiently
considered in the apportioning Of du-
ties. If pay had to be proportional to
labor in the domestic sphere, it is
probable that vast amount of brio
a-brac would speedily be got rid of.
The McCumber pure food bill which
is now pending in both houses of con-
gress is a substitute for the Hepburn
bill, which was passed by the house in
the last congress, and referred by the
senate to the committee on manufac-
lures, of which Senator McCumber is
chairman. This committee thought
that the bill conferred too much power
on the secretary of agriculture, and
prepared a substitute bill which, in
stead of providing that the whole
someness and EMBELLISHMENTS of pre-
servatives and other substances added
to foods should be determined by the
department of agriculture, gives an
extensive statement of what constitute
authorizations or misbranding. The adj
vocates of pure food laws are willing
to accept the McCumber bill as better
than nothing, but would have much
preferred, it is said, the legislation first
proposed.

recall the case Of the learned black
smith, who, after he had reached the
term Of life prescribed by the Psalmist,
became an unusual linguist with the
complete mastery of many tongues.
There comes time in the life Of
nearly every man when he realizes
that he is growing old. Perhaps it is
in the very prime Of life, about the for
tieth year, that this recognition Of his
mortality gives the most distress, and
he is disposed to doubt whether it is
possible for him to accomplish any,
thing worth while In the face Of
much evidence to the contrary it has
been affirmed that a man who has
done nothing great before that age will
never do it; that life after 40 consists
mainly in learning on previous acqui-
sitions. However as time goes on
many man develops q new courage,
and especially he resolves to live thor
oughly and heartily to the last mo-
ment As French philosopher urg-
ed, man should keep at his work
as though immortal, even though he
should know that death would come to-
morrow. Another moralist asserts that
a man who, on a sinking ship, should
not take his pill at the prescribed mo-
ment and wind up his watch lacks a
manly quality. Anyhow, the man who
at so or any other age at which he
retains healthy mind does not shrink
from AN undertaking merely because
death is near gets the best out of life.
