THE HOUSEWIFE AND HELPERS.

Many housewives make slaves oil
themselves when there is no need OF

the housekeeper and each should be
taught to do this.
Every member of the family can
put his bed TO air as soon as he gets
up. Everybody can pick up his own
clothes and hang them in the ward
robe.
When books and papers have been
replace the books he has read and
fold his papers before he goes to bed.
When someone has ben lying on
the couch ne can rearrange the pill
lows and the slumber robe.
Someone can remember to put up
the window shades evenly. Nothing
is more likely to cause fit of the
blues than to go into living room
with curtains drawn and all the dis
order Of last evening showing in the
morning light.
Someone can make 1t his business
to dust up the hearth and set the fire
place straight before going to bed.
II the wife and mother would kind

bers of her family replacing whatever
| they found out of place and ask them
TO do such little things as fold tne
papers they are reading. she would
not only be lessening her own duties
but she would be making model wives
and husbands OF her growing sons and
daughters, thus contributing to the
happiness OF many homes.-Cynthia

less unemployed among men who do
not belong TO trade unions is higher
still. The laborers are always too
many. and the harvest always too
scanty. There is not enough work TO
go round. What this means has been
shown in second series of articles
published this week. Great Britain
with all its prosperity, with signs on
almost every side OF wealth and the
free enjoyment Of it, with its flourish
ing industries, Its enterprise, its gi-
gantic speculations, its merchant ma
vies, trading and trafficking to the
utmost ends of the earth. has. never
theless. the canker of a desperate pov-
erty eating into its very heart. Apart
from all temporary fluctuations in the
demands OF the labor market, the con
sequence of the contraction or expan.
sion Of trade, thousands are starving,
and must starve. for the lack of EN-.
ployment.
It is problem to which our states
men can not shut their eyes"
Though America doubtless has
many helpless ones who will suffer
during the rigors of the coming win
ter our people have great cause to
give thanks today that conditions are
so far removed from the distress OF
the London unemployed.

days ago. was carried out in careful
detail. and Rev. Grace OF the Metho
dist church, who mad taken as his sub
ject. Reason of Thanksgiving In the
Signs OF the Times" delivered a mas
terly sermon. In his touching upon
the quickening of the sense and con
fidence Of the public so recently led
out against corruption, suggested by
the policy OF President Roosevelt, he
found his hearers ready to go with
him.
Mr.. Grace dwelt, too. at some length
on the spirit recently manifested by
all the churches to consolidate on
lines Of practical reform In the polit-
ical and social fabrics Of America. He
referred to the results OF recent cleo
tions which indicate positive measures
of reform.
The Durango high school chorus
rendered three excellent selections
and the program of music and recita-
tions was exceptionally good. The
idea OF the union church service is
one which win at once become popu-
lar with church goers and there will
be other such meetings.

LOADED FOR WITCHES,
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
In witchcraft lore silver seems to
have been credited with great power
to disperse evil spirits. In an old
book on the subject one reads of a
valiant Souldier who had skill in
Necromancy." and who always used
silver bullets to snoot away the
witches" The evidences of such SUI
perstition are brought directly to the
modern eve through the discovery
made by a Pennsylvania farmer.
Mr.. Vedderman is interested in
curios. and purchased recently an old
musket at farmhouse sale. From its
appearance the weapon antedated the
Revolution. It was In deplorable
state OF rust. and In cleaning 1t the
new owner discovered that II was load
ed
He carefully withdrew the charge.
and to his surprise found instead of
bullets two silver shillings, dated 1881,
tightly wadded with leaves of Bible
of ancient print. Beneath the coins
was small lock of hair and piece
of paper containing an illegible quo
tation. The gunpowder was coarse
and undoubtedly of colonial manufac-
ture. The whole looks very much like
a charmed charge. calculated to de-
molish some weird lady OF the broom
stick.

There is no panacea for political
ills. One man thinks he has 1t in the
direct primary; another believes that
voting machines will make everything
right: still another wants the refer
endum for everything, and the aboli-
ton Of legislatures. SO 1t goes-al-
most as many remedies as there are
patent medicines; and about as much
use. 1t is the man behind the machin-
cry that counts-not the machinery it
self. Direct primaries can be manip-
ulated. as well as other kinds. Vot-
ing machines In the hands Of evil dis.
posed persons simply provide extra
opportunities for wrong doing.

The postmaster general was recent
ly called upon by President Roosevelt
for an exhaustive report of the gov
ernment's mail carrying contract with
railroads. The government pays over
SAC, 600, 900 annually to the railroads
for carrying the mails. The rate OF
compensation now is the same as tif-
teen or twenty years ago, although in
every other respect the rate of rail
within that period. This fact of itself
has long been set forth as prima facie
evidence that the amount charged the
government for this service was ex
cessive. Several efforts have been
made in Congress to have the subject
Investigated, but always without avail.
Not only is it asserted that the rate
cd of fixing the charge amounts to
fraud against the government. The
railroads are not paid for the actual
weight of the mails carried, but at
long intervals the mails are weighed
for a number of consecutive days and
the average weight during that time
has been held to be fair basis for
calculating the compensation. The
postal department is now trying to
raise the rate on second class matter
to meet the annual deficiency of S15,-
100000. 1t would look more decent
to cut down the railways but this will
never be done so long as the senate
Is made up Of members elected from
the railway headquarters. We will
have to change our tactics in electing
senators-EH

Public museums that are well man
aged are often treated to a pleasant
surprise. The richest citizen OF Wor.
cester, Mass, Mr.. Stephen Salisbury,
who died recently, left $4,000. 900 to
the Worcester art museum. The in.
stttuuon had expected to be remem.
oered in Mr.. Salisbury's WILL, but not
TO receive the bulk Of his fortune. In
1896 he met thirty or forty men and
women interested in art, and offered
an acre OF land for a museum with
$4,000 for a building and $4,000 for
maintenance. Since then the museum
received from various sources many
additions In sums ranging from $1O,.
600 down. until Its endowment reached
100000.
