HE LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THEM.

goat. III tell you where there are
more goat, than you have teeth in your
mouth"
"My, my" exclaimed the wolf,
smacking his lips. "I'll agree to that"
"Well." declared the goat. ''if you
run Up to the top of yonder mountain
you'll see the goats on the other side,
and | am sure there are more there
than you could eat in Il month"
So the wolf ran Off up the side of
the mountain. but the farther he ran
the higher the mountain seemed, and
it was Il very long time before lie
reached the top. tired and footsore and
out of breath and more hungry than he
had been before.
And what do you think was the first
thing he saw? \ herd of goats. There
must have been 200 of them. They
were grazing peacefully OH broad
plain OH the othc" side Of the noun
tain.
But what else do you suppose: Why.
the other Size of the mountain was per-
fectly straight up and down, just like
tie walls of this room, only as high as
fifty houses placed on top Of each 9th
or. and nj the foot of this steep cliff
was a broad river that was us swift
as in ocean current. Then 1t was on
the other side o. this stream that the
plain lay upon which the goats were
feeding. 1t was impossible for the
wolf to get to them.
THAT little goat has played me a
trick" sail the wolf sorrowfully.-

How to Gain In Weight.

For people who wish to gain flesh, an
authority gives this regimen:
If possible, have a cup of chocolate OF
cocoa before rising. For your breakfast
have eggs (poached or boiled), outlets
chops, or steaks, a cup of coffee, and
some fruit; but do not neglect the eggs.
At dinner have soup, meat, and fish,
according to your taste; but be sure to
have rice, macaroni, potatoes, cauli'
flower, asparagus, indeed, all vegetables.
Avoid acids, although salads are good.
Choose buildings that are sweet,
especially those containing milk and
eggs. Grapes are said to be fattening,
and sugar undoubtedly is.
Do not take cold baths, nor indulge
in very violent exercise. Sleep as much
as possible, and do not allow yourself to
be exceedingly interested in anything
which will cause you to worry.
All food should be slowly masticated,
in order to be easily digested. Care and
grief should be allowed no place at
table. Condiments and highly-spiced
sauces should be avoided. A merry
laugh is superior to pepsin tablets for
indigestion.
Do not overeat, but eat all the appe-
tite demands with judgment. Three
meals day, with light luncheon be-
tween, if craved, are permissible, taking
care only that the light repast is not
near enough the solid meal to spoil the
appetite for II.

c,os.,one mad Little Dorothy,

Good housewives often have trouble
with servants who cannot get up, but
doubt If it ever occurs to them, as II
did to Miss Dorothy Drew when she
was not more than seven. that the
Scriptures emphasize the vanity OF
early rising, says the London Taller
Dorothy positively refused TO get up
and her grandfather, Mr. Gladstone
had to be called to overawc the rebel.
"Why don't you get up, Dorothy he
asked.
Because the Bible doesn't approve OF
early rising, grandfather" was the un
expected reply.
Really. Dorothy" said the aston
ished statesman. you must be mis-
taken"
"Oh, no, I'm not" she persisted
"Here it is" And she turned up the
second verse of the One Hundred and
Twenty seventh Psalm. 1T Is vain fol
you to rise up early" The old par
Humanitarian had nothing more to say
The argument aoored him.

How to Write a Good Letter.

How to Write q Good Letter.
There is no denying that the average
! woman does not know how to-write q
good letter-that Is, it is not a. rule
interesting reading. It often does not
give the recipient much real information
about the writer, and 1t Is not infre-
quently unbusinesslike In details.
There is no excuse for emitting to
write the full address at the top Of let
ter, however well it may be known to
the recipient. 1t is always possible that
letter may be returned through the
post Office, or it may have to be replied
to by third person, in case Of illness;
and moreover, If you do not make q
habit of writing your address, you are
likely to forget it in strange place
when in hurry.
Then again, no letter should be sent
away undated-dates may always be-
come of importance for reference.
If you write business letter, take care
that it is business-like-which Is almost
the same thing as saying, "Take care
that it is short" If you write on bust
ness matters, even to a friend, confine
your letter entirely to business. 1t is q
mistake to attempt to combine this with
a friendly epistle, as it will have to be
kept for reference, and may pass through
several hands.
A letter to friend ought to be such
as to give her pleasure-in that case you
must take the trouble to consider her
tastes and interests. 1t is generally we'll
to begin by comments on the last letter
received, as you thus show interest in
your correspondents concerns.
As rule, it is possible to make the
story of ones dOings interesting, If one
takes enough trouble; many people
make the mistake of merely mentioning
the places they have been to, or the
things they have done. Such letter
suggests skeleton diary, and is of less
interest than one visit or hobby de-
scribed in sufficient detail to call up a
vivid picture to the mind. Then, in
order to give pleasure, you must con-
slider what news your correspondent is
anxious to hear, not merely that which
you are anxious to tell. Above all,
avoid writing unkindly things of third
people.
Among minor details, avoid the alb
surdity Of filling up letter with exag-
gerated apologies for not having written
before, or for not writing longer re-
ply. Then do not besprinkle the epistle
with exclamation marks, inverted COM
mas, dashes or much UNDERLYING. The
effect produced always suggests an
hysterical correspondent
Then, lastly, never try to excuse your
self for omissions by concluding with
"In great haste" or SIN hurry to catch
the post" as this is impolite to your
friend, because you should not have left
the letter to the last moment.-Ex.

SIX Great Men.

From 1880 to 1880 Is the most memo,
rable period in modern history. Six
great men made their marks-Napo-
leon, whose chief feature was ambi-
ton; Nelson, courage; Washington, in
dependence; Wellington. thoroughness;
Pitt. craftsmanship. and George Ste
plenson, ingenuity. Washington and
Nelson have secured the affection Of
posterity, Washington and Stephenson
have done the most for mankind, Well
lngton enjoys the respect Of all, Pitt
has our admiration, and Napoleon will
forever excite the wonder of the world.

which are of the most service to hui

The Untidy Girl as Wife.

Every man has horror of a slOvenly
woman, and in his own wife makes no
excuses for what, to the mere man, ap-
pears to be sheer laziness. He doesn't
come down to breakfast in a collarless,
tieless, unshaven condition.; and he ex-
poets his better half to start the day by
grazing it's opening meal as spick-and-
span as if visitors were present.
And really, dear, untidy girl friend,
that long-suffering husband of yours is
not far wrong when he tells you that
laziness is at the root of your want of
method and order in home, wardrobe
and person.
And yet, believe me. you give yourself
far more trouble in the long run by fling
ing things down anywhere just to save
the time it would occupy to put them
away at once in their proper place.
Think of the countless things mislaid,
perchance for days and weeks, because
your memory fails to remind you just
where you flung the articles when last
you had anything to do with them. The
odd socks and stockings reposiDg in your
work-basket, awaiting the return of their
fellows, who have either been mislaid in
the wash, or else remained SO long lying
about that they have disappeared at
various times among rubbish!
Then, again, untidy people have a
knack of mislaying one glove; conse-
quently it does not take them long to &C
cumulate quite hoard of odd gloves, all
nearly new, but useless, and this ex-
pense-for it amounts to heavy item in
a year-cOuld be avoided by putting
both gloves away directly you return
home.
Then, in your personal appearance,
you owe it as mark of respect to your
husband to be neat, tidy and dainty for
all time. Five minutes earlier rising in
the morning would give you ample time
to take your hair out of those iron
denominations aud arrange it properly.
Also to do away with the tea gown, and
don dainty blouse and tidy skirt. BY
starting the day we'll things will 60 more
smoothly all through. If visitors call,
you will be ready to receive them at
once, without hiding behind the door to
ascertain who it is, and then rushing
belter-skelter to make yourself pre-
sentable before you can appear in their
presence.
Things that are put away carefully
directly finished with will come out as
good as new when next required, and
retain their pristine freshness to the last
of their existence.
So, untidy girls, turn over now leaf,
and though the task of curing this bad
habit is no easy one it can be accomplish.
ed by steady perseverance.
And surely the result is worth the
effort, for it not only means monetary
saving, but also a saving of temper, and
those petty household jars that spoil the
hormnnv of home life -EY

PatcllOuly.

The introduction Of the perfume call
ed patchouly was caused by the desire
of French shawlmakers to deceive
their customers. When shawls were
first brought from India they were per-
fumed with patchouly, an extract of an
Indian plant. The French soon learned
to initiate the shawls to perfection, but
the patchouly bothered them, as they
could find no substitute for it, and this
fact was used as the surest means OF
distinguishing the genuine India shawls
from the French counterfeits. At last
somebody discovered the secret and
brought a quantity Of patchouly to
France. For time the discoveries kept
the matter to themselves and reaped Il
harvest. Then some one gave away
the secret. The perfume soon became
popular and has never since passed
completely out Of use, though several
times superseded temporarily by other
perfumes.
