HRR DAY AT HOME.

When woman has a day at home
and so announces to all her friends
by card, clearly indicating the exact
days and hours, she naturally ex-
poets her friends to avail themselves
of these days, and is under no obliga-
ton to receive them at any other
time unless she wishes to do so. The
fact that you called on the following
day simply because it was more con-
venient for you, was a mistake on
your part, and the lady was justified
in excusing herself. Much of this
friction between women is caused by
their utter disregard of the value of
time. Professional women every
where complain of the inconsiderate
friends who drop in "just for
minute and stay hours, which time
..s..et lse 80 ArzzE Eas-5-s--2Aa..li.4.
tions or she must run the risk Of
giving lasting offence by telling the
caller frankly that the call is mop
perfume, and asking to be excused.
Women, so quick to grasp point in
all else, never seem to understand
this particular subject as men do.
This is due, in a measure, to lack of
business training, and yet considera-
ton for others is one of the most
charming qualities of the well bred
woman, and one which may be culti-
waited by every one, says the Indian
aboEs Journal. The housekeeper de-
serves the greatest amount of SYM
pathy, for she is at the mercy of
every thoughtless person of her ac-
quaintance unless she has the cour-
age to take firm stand and insist
upon her rights, as an individual, to
her own time and pleasure in receiv-
ing her friends. Those who offend
most frequently are the women who
have no special occupation or aim in
life except to have a good time.
Those who have accomplished any
thing have long since discovered that
life must be conducted in an orderly
manner if the tasks of the day are to
be completed. The woman who has
a time and place for everything
may be a terror to the friend who
tolls not, but to the trained worker,
whether at home or afeld, she is
JOY, for she values the passing hours,
consequently will not waste yours

ABOUT TRrENDsHrP.


Friendship is a mutual interest
where each hopes to do the other one
favor.
But the modern version seems to
be a mutual suspicion where each
waits to catch the other mapping.
A friend in olden days seemed to
be one whom we loved or admired,
and with whom we could be always
sincere.
But the modern friend seems to
be one whom we fear and distrust.
and with whom we never feel safe.
A friend, in olden days, was one
for whom we cared and who cared
for us, whether we were rich or
poor, old or young, plain or pleas
ing.
But we love our friends in 1904
just so long as they love us and are
able to repay favor for favor. The
old, the ugly, the poor, need not
apply.
Away with the delusion of friend
ship" say the wiseacres; 'let COM
mon sense rule. Have no friends
rather than a few who are Of no
profit, but rather drawback to
theelp
And the mortal listens and per-
chance obeys; but the idealist en-
shrined in his bosom sits with droop-

II BROUGHT THE ANSWER.

The japanese can win distinction
at the desk of the counting house as
readily as in sea fight. One who
obtained situation with an English
firm on trial was asked a few days
after his appointment by the cashier
to write to a customer who had
owed some money to the house for
a long time and who seemed to have
no intention of paying. Write
briefly and politely" said the cash
ier, ''but let him understand distinct
ly that we expect him to pay the
money without further delay" The
letter was written, and on the fol-
lowing day came a check for the
amount due. The surprised cashier
asked the new clerk to show him a
copy of the letter which had been
so effectual. It ran thus:
Dear Sir: If you do not send
us at once the money you owe US
we shall be obliged to take steps
which will cause you the utmost as
tonishment. Respectfully yours"
The form seems to combine ORR
entail subtlety and Western point.

one can do this by washing them
with warm, not hard water, and by
sparing them as much as possible.
Do not tax the eyes, for if strained
you must wear glasses; and however
useful spectacles may be, they are
certainly not attractive. They hard
en- the face and spoil the expression
of the eyes.
The taking away of crows feet
around the mouth is an important
point for the woman who wants to
smile happily. She must massage
her face around her mouth and
around her eyes nightly with good
cold cream. Massage the lines ever
so lightly with a good soft cream
and keep on doing it all your life.
A little treatment every night will
be better than great deal of treat
ment once in while.
To get a correct nose, one must
diet a little. Eat plenty Of fresh
fruit and all the vegetables you can
get. Do not take much meat, for
meat, unless well digested, is bad
for the complexion.
Better to turn vegetarian if your
skin is not all it should be. The
vegetarian complexion is one of
those peachy things which are the
despair of the meat eater.
The fascinating blush is excel
lent to possess. And it is not hard
to get if the complexion is good.
To blush like a girl is coveted
accomplishment. All women blush
but unfortunately, when you have
reached maturity, the skin is so bad
that the blush is not visible to the
naked eye. Keep your skin pink
and pretty, and you will blush with
out half trying.
And, for the seventh thing, there
is a good carriage of the head.
Hold your chin well and you will be
sure to carry your head right.
A lifted chin is much more becom-
ing to any face than a lowered one.
Lift up your chin and learn to keep
it lifted. It will be great accessory
to pretty smile.

Lay TWO HUNDRED EGGS.

How can we produce hens that
will lay 200 eggs per annum? By
scientific breeding, as for good
butter cow or cow mixer, as for a
good trotter or high jumping horse.
Experiments have been made to in-
crease the number of rows of corn
on the cob with success. The same
method is applicable to poultry
breeding. We will start with hen
that lays I2o eggs. Some of her
chicks will lay $50 per year. From
these we will pick out layers, and so
on until 200 or better are the result.
At the same time it is just as essen
tial to breed out of males from pro-
life layers as it is the females; in
fact, it is more so. If we look after
the breeding of the females only we
will introduce on the male side blood
which is lacking in proficiency, and
thus check every attempt in pro-
gress. It is just as essential that the
male should be from the hen which
lays rs eggs and from a male that
was bred from hen that laid $50
eggs as it is that the hen should be
from one that laid us eggs and
whose mother laid $50 eggs.-Poal-
try Herald.

The question of how to obtain ade-
quate help on the farm is becoming
very serious one. Men who are
able-bodied and willing to work can
obtain better wages in the manufac-
turing towns and are constantly
drifting that way. The want col
umns of the newspapers show a con-
slant demand for the good farm hand.
Formerly there was no trouble of
this sort, because such advantages
and inducements were not held out
to men to leave the farm.
But while the offer of So per day
and some over sounds big, and plen-
ty of men are making more than
that, little inquiry discloses the fact
that in all towns the class of men
who formerly worked as farm hands
are receiving aout $I.25 per day
and board themselves. If he has
family to maintain the struggle is
hard one. On farm man IS usr-
ally paid about SIS per month and
board, or sometimes is furnished with
a house and little plot of ground.
With that he has really far better
chance for living. That is figuring
things as they have been in the past.
What has decided many man to go
to town is the prospect of getting
his children educated and giving
them other advantages not obtaina-
bic in the Sc1ntEy Bit with4the
advent of better public roads, which
are now coming, the extension OF
trolley lines, the rural free delivery
of mails and the establishment of
high schools in townships as well as
boroughs, there is now almost as
many advantages in country as in
town life. It is the coming of these
things that have within few years
past changed conditions. This ought
to solve the problem for the farmer.
The man who can promise these
advantages, cottage for the family
of the farm hand to live in and the
old-time wages, ought to have no
trouble in getting help among the
class of men who are nowadays la
borers in towns. The advantages are
for the man who accepts place on
the farm. It may take little time
for the laboring class to comprehend
the fact that the situation is revers-
ed, but when they do there will be
a return on the part of many an
able-bodied man and the solution
of the problem of farm help will
have been found.

When the tired man entered the
Office, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
he told the doctor he did not know
what allied him, but he needed treat
ment; he was pretty well worn out.
The physician put on his eyeglasses,
looked at the mans tongue, felt his
pulse, sounded his chest, and listened
to the beating of his heart. Same
old storyT exclaimed the doctor,
who was Of the new school Of fresh
air. "Man can't live hived up in an
Office or house. No use trying.
Now, | could make myself corpse,
as you are doing by degrees, if ! sat
down here and did not STIR" -"
began the patient. "You must have
fresh air" broke in the doctor. "You
must take long walks, and brace up
by staying out-of-doors. Now, /
could make a drugstore out of you
and you would think / was smart
man, but my advice to you is to walk,
walk, walk" "But, doctor" inter-
rupted the man. "Now, my dear
man, don't argue the question. Just
take my advice. Take long walks
every day-several times day--and
get your blood into circulation. But
my business-"said the patient. "Of
course, your business prevents It;
everybody says that. Just change
your business so you win have to
walk more. By the way, what IS
your business?" "I'm q letter-car-
rier," meekly replied the patient.
"He IS the flower of the family"

The travelling men of Maine are
noted for the jokes that they are al
ways springing on the public, but
recently one of them got into trouble
in an unexpected way. His parents
celebrated their golden wedding, and
the drummer had long planned to
spend the day with them. But when
the day arrived he found that he was
too far from his old home to get
back to it, so he sent a telegram to
his father. He thought that it as .
good time to get off joke on the
old man, so he merely sent the mes
sage, "Is marriage a failure?' He
was somewhat taken aback when he
got the reply, Marriage is not, but
the results sometimes are.

Why did you ever suppose that
an animal did not reason? You have
seen them pause and decide what
should be done under the circum-
stances. Did you ever know an ami
NAL to reason falsely, that is, come
to an erroneous conclusion9 Never,
in your life. Now, mere instinct
never could enable dog to know
his master. How could he tell one
man from another unless he had
mind to enable him to compare and
individuate one man from another
and judge by the apparent difference
which he discovers between men?
You say to a horse, "ho." and he
moves to the left; you say "ge," and
he moves to the right. You may
say he was taught that. True, but
could you teach post that? There
is no instinct in knowing "ge" from
''ha." No such knowledge was born
ii him; it is not matter Of hercdl-
ty, it is education. But can you edu-

it. What are you working on when

This kind Of reasoning is discov-
erable in all animal life, notably in
the nests of birds. Birds determine
with great deliDeration Wneis y

nest will be undisturbed. Then they
carry IN straws. strings and dried
grass. tie il to the limbs and shape

with mud. This they do without inn
nlements-no troweis nor any other
tool-vet the nest is scientifically
formed with mathematical accuracy,
And IN strict accordance with rule
and measure. Surely these birds rea-
SON think and decide. Where is
there room for mere instinct? If they
do lust what human beings would do
under similar circumstances and pur-
poses we must call il reason.

Once you labored in the ditch
But you're now millionaire
And it's vulgar to be rich.
