Girls Should Know.

That the home kitchen, with moth

daughter for pupil, is the best cook
ing school on earth.
That "the most excellent thing in
woman"-a low voice-can only be
acquired by home practice.
That true beauty of face is only
possible where there is beauty of soul
manifested in a beautiful character.
That the girl everybody likes is
not affected, and neve whines, but
is just her sincere, earnest, helpful
self.
And finally, that one of the 4lost
beautiful things on earth is a pure,
modest. true young girl-one who is
her fathers pride, her mothers COM
fort, her brothers inspiration and
her sisters ideal-which we should
all try to be.-Selected.

The Early Telephones.

How many people going into the
telephone exchange here and seeing
the great switch-boards, with the he'll
melted girls sitting thereat, seeing
all sorts of strange machinery, and
listening to the soft whirring of the
dynamos, can go back twenty-seven
years ago, when the telephone was
born, so to speak, and remember what
it was then. In the summer of 1877
there was a preliminary rage among
young and old for tin cans, open at
one end and with a piece of string or
wire attached to the end left in. Peo-
pie talked into the open end of the
can and the vibrations, passing along
the string or wire, reached the other
can, where the bearer was, and vice
versa. Right on the heels of these
~playthings came the commercial tele-
phone. The Western Union Tele-
graph Company operated the first
exchange, in a little Office in the
rear of the telegraph Office, with one
operator, and it really took a year or
two for people to realize that queer
and almost uncanny instrument was
not a toy, instead of being one of the
most practical things in the world.
Then a telephone was considered a
luxury; now it is a necessity.-Ra-
leigh Cor. Charlotte Observer.

overeating the Great Cause of Disease

Excess of food directly or indi-
rectly accounts for a large percent
age of the mortality among children
and adults. Tt does not matter so
much where We live as how we diet,
climate having little to do with our
health. If a proper amount of food
is taken, the tissues of the body will
be healthy and well nourished. Thus
if the blood is pure and in a healthy
condition, the body will be SO, buff
the blood is charged with efete mat
ter, from the absorption of excess of
food, which is badly ass1milated, this
Informed material is deposited in
the various tissues and organs, dis
turbing their functions and resulting
in disease.
Most people do not drink enough
water. About two quarts Of good
spring water should be taken in the
twenty-four hours. This Pushes out
and cleanses the whole system, puri-
the blood and keeps the excretory
organs active and healthy.
In brief, then, the articles to be
eliminated from our dietary are:
fried things of all kinds, pastry, hot
bread, highly seasoned food, rich
cakes, sweetmeats, late suppers, and
eating between meals, except a glass
Of milk or some fresh ripe fruit.
Those things which we should eat
are: cereals of all kinds, fresh ripe
fruit and fresh vegetables in abund-
ance, dry or toasted bread, meat six
OF seven ounces, according to weight
Ga piece about half the size of an
individuals handy, butter, eggs, milk
and a simple dessert, and a cup Of
coffee once a day, and two quarts of
water during the day.-Dr. E. E.

Three Obstacles to Marriage.

Ex-senator Marion Butler of

unusually homely, but humorous fell

he did not get married.

riage is possible only under three
conditions

asked.

must be rich, beautiful and a fool.
Unless she is rich and beautiful [

A Graphic Imagination.

Nathan's teacher believed in re-
ducing poetry to diagram and visible
outline. Therefore, says the Boston
Herald she told the class to make a
rough illustration of the poem, "The
Old Oaken Bucket"
Nathan's illustration consisted of
a large circle, three buckets, and a
bunch of dots.

don't understand this. What's the

"Then I've thought of another way.

you could have it handy in your

The man got up and stood like a
