Have Fun ut Home.

Don't be afraid Of a little fun at
home. Don't shut your house lest the
sun should fade your carpets, and your
hearts. lest a hearty laugh shake down
some of the musty old cobwebs there!
If you want to ruin your sons. let them
think that all mirth and social enjoy
mert must be left on the threshold
without when they come home at night.
When once a house is regarded as only
a place to eat, drink and sleep in. the
work is begun that ends in gambling
houses and reckless degradation.
Young people must have fun and re-
taxation somewhere; If they do not
find It at their own hearthstones it Will
be sought at other and less profitable
places. Therefore, let the fire burn
brightly at night and make the home
stead delightful with all those little
arts that parents SO perfectly under
stand. Don't repress the buoyant spir-
it's of your children; half an hours
merriment round the lamp and fireside
of home blots out the remembrance OF
many care and annoyance during the
day, and the best safeguard they can
take with them into the world Is the
influence Of bright little domestic

At the hair dressers they are offering
all kinds of little punches Of false

hairpin attachments to wear under hat

For walking, the skirts are sometimes
four inches above the ground. They
are stitched about the hem q great

The suede shoes, in colors, are popu-

woman with a pretty foot, and they
greatly enhance the costume Of one
color. when one-color schemes are car
ried out.
Porgee is quite as much favored this
spring rs it was last, and 1t comes in
such pretty colors. and they make up
in such pretty styles that women can
not resist having several to hold the

An important characteristic of the

cloaks and on tailormade garments OF

Marriage Obligations Mutual.

What part shall the husband play in
the drama of domestic economy, be-
sides being the worker and provider!
Shall he help wash the dishes? Or
shall he eat his supper or dinner and
retire to his club for the rest Of the
evening, leaving his wife to the ques-
tionable enjoyment Of her own society
No! to both questions. 1t takes two
persons to make contract binding,
and in marrying both assume response
bilities which should be carried out to
the best Of their abilities.

Zenda"--"If love were all"' would

Tho BIunder of Economy.

Women have a good many sins laid
to their charge, and extravaganza in
dress is one of them. But there are
some instances in which this not wholly
feminine failing is commendable. 1t
was recently stated that in times OF
financial depression men invariably
curtail their expenditure in dress,
whereas women go on arraying them
selves just as If nothing had happened.
This certainly counts one to them. 1t
may look like foolishness and needless
extravaganza on the face Of it, whereas
it really goes long way toward saving
situation. Economy is mistake at
such times. To begin with, appear
ances must be kept up. To advertise
financial depression is disastrous. 1t
Is always distinctly encouraging to
have seeming evidences Of prosperity
before the eyes. Again, if everybody
began cutting down expenses, as men
invariably do directly stocks fall, there
would soon be little or no money in
circulation. Clearly women are in the
right-are they not invariably so?-and
men wholly in the wrong in this mat
ter. Tailors and outfitters answer en-
phatically in the affirmative. They
droop and pine, while drapers and
modistes fourish.-Indianapolis News.

The Grandmother's Art.

There is the art Of being grand
mother-one of the most agreeable
and useful of q woman's accomplish
ments. 1t has the joys Of motherhood
without its responsibilities. The
grandmother at forty is only the be-
ginning of a andmother. At sixty
she has small store Of experiences Of
whooping cough and college "scrapes"
and love affairs and weddings on
which she may draw as occasion re-
quires, but at eighty the accumulation
is really splendid.
The grace and repose Of the grand
mother preserve ideals for the younger
generation which the strenuous de-
mands of the world too often force the
mother to neglect. The art Of staying
at home and yet keeping q travelled
mind and spirit is not acquired before

An Inanired Idiot.

Reuben Fields, the Johnson County
mathematician, who is considered by
many to be an idiotic wonder, stopped
at a hotel in small town in Henry
County recently. AS usual in sucl
places. there were a number Of drr@:'
mers ON hand; there was also meet
ing Of some medical men at tae place
who used the hotel as headquarters
One of the doctors thought it would
be quite joke to tell Fields that some
or the NJ. DIS. had concluded to kidnap
him and take out his brains to lear'
how it was he was so good in mathe'
matics. He was then asked by then'
What he was going to do about l..
Fields replied: Il will so on without

Wells.

The draping of the hats with colored
wells has not yet arrived. Whether the
season will bring back the fashion is
doubtful. For travelling the double
wells are still worn. Fancy face veiis,
which were elaborate in design, are
ignored by we'll dressed women. The
best is of fine, plain net, with a few
velvet dots over the surface.
There should not be more than two
or three over the face.
The small hats Of the day lend them
selves we'll to wells, but there is q
growing tendency away from having
the face covered. The invisible hair
nets are worn loosely over the whole
head to keep the hair in place.
For real protection, women are more
apt to wear a co!ored chiffon veil to
match the hat. No matter what the
veil, it is usually fastened with a
fancy pin at nape Of neck and at edge
Of hat.

How to Tint Laces.

A secret worth knowing is how to
tint laces, chiffons, silk or crocheted
buttons. feathers, slippers, gloves, ETC.,
20 q gown shade. The process is
vouched for by the National Dress
makers Association, from whose jour-
nal it is taken. The materials required
are oil paints in tubes and gasoline.
The gasoline is placed in a porcelain
bowl and the paint is dissolved in it.
The work has to be done quickly and,
Of course, in a fireless room. Mix the
paint to the required shade in saucer,
comparing it with the goods till the
right color. When the exact tone is
reached mix with the gasoline and
dip the lace, or whatever is to be dyed,
quickly before the paint falls to the
bottom, as there might be spot of
bottom. Do not let the goods touch the
paint there. A hairpin comes in hand
lily to hold the edge Of the goods.
Shake out quickly and pin up to dry.
It is well to make a few experiments
before risking costly material, but the
process is really not at all formidable.

Draining Mas.ach usetts Roads.

Nothing has occurred to change the
opinion Of the members Of the Massa-
chusetts State Highway Commission
regarding the use Of Telford founda-
ton for road building. No return to
this method will be made. On heavy.
wet soils centre V shaped drain has
been substituted for the side drains
and telfording. This idea Of preparing
the foundation is UNIQUE, and will be
of interest to other road builders. the
report says: "The earth is loosened
and thrown out toward the sides so as
to give q V-shaped trench, with It's
greatest depth in the centre OF the
roadway. Narrow trenches are cut
through the sides Of this centre trench.
at intervals of fifty feet or more. con-
Meeting its lowest part with the gut
ters on the side. and placed at depth
and slope thoroughly to remove all
water. The centre and cross trenches
are filled with field or wall stones, the
depth of this stone varying from twelve
TO eighteen inches in the centre, ana
from six to twelve inches on the Sides
the thickness being dependent on the
character Of the soil in the sub-grade.
The tops Of these stones are given q
crown to receive the surfacing mater
ial." Earth. gravel or broken stone is
then spread in the usual way. Thls
method Of draining has proved entirely
efficient. and so the question Of cost
between this method and telfordlnS
with side drains becomes the determin'
ing factor.
The average cost Of side drains on
twenty contracts made in 1908 amount,
ed to forty-seven cents per foot. III
1900 the average cost Of telfording on
twenty-eight contracts amounted 70
32.7 cents per square yard. Thus, the
cost per lineal foot for telfording. WITH
two side drains was Sl261. or So.>
cents for telfording and one side drain
In building the V-shaped drain about
one-ouarter of q cubic yard of earth IS
excayated and about one-half CUBIC
ward OF stone is placed for each lineal
foot of road. On seyenty-three con-
tracts the average cost of eXcavatins
was 43.9 cents per cubic yard; for the
stone in place the cost averaged '6''
cents a cubic yard. Thus, the cost foi
the drain is I9.3 cents per lineal 1901
of road. Comparing these prices with
those for telfording. it is evident that
a saving Of 7II.,i cents per foot or road
is made over tclfordinS and two drains
and 34.5 cents per foot over telfordins
and one drain.

and swarthy and entirely different
from the Tarahumaris Indians and
Mexicans Of that section. Their mode
of life is extremely primitive and they,
are very timid, avoiding contact with
other people. They will molest no one
unless their houses or property are dis
turbed, and then they will fight. Their
arms are bows and arrows. When a
stranger shows up among them they
fles to their dwellings or the brush.
They cultivate small patches Of beans
and corn in the canons and valleys
near their homes.
Their language is entirely distinct
from any other and their vocabulary
is small, probably 200 words, according
to a Roman Catholic priest, Father
Mariana Guerrero, who is said to have
been among them. This priest says
they have at some time learned some
thing of the Roman Catholic faith, and
recognize him as priest. he says
they will allow him to approach neal

The Mexicans seem to know practic.

TRAINING THE BABY.
How the Walters Family Began to Di

After Mrs. Walters had read up

he results of her investigation. in her
ncthodical mind. she told her husband,
says the Chicago News. that she was
going to make Il change with baby.
We have been making a mistake

Walters. Who is an extremely youth

hat this was not likely to meet with

mind, so he suggested instead that
oaby might cry.
I'VE must be prepared for that"
Mrs. Walters said, gently but firmly.
For q night or two he may cry very

iren because of a few tears"
Mrs. Walters did not give her reSo-
.ution time to cool. The baby, dimpled
and cooling and ready for his evening
! trolic. was put to bed and the door
closed upon him. At first he appeared
to regard this as new feature OF the
game. From the next room his parents
could hear occasional interrogatory
yurgles. Then there came n faint wall,

Walters. I'm glad he takes that RcI

He had hardly spoken when an ear.

room. Walters sprang from his seat,
but his wife waved him back.
This is only what was to be expect

though pale. "He will cry hard to-
night, and possibly tomorrow night
BY that time he will have learned his
lesson. All the authorities have con-
suited agree that it is impossible for q
healthy child of his age to injure him
self by crying"
Walters suggested that it would have
been better to accuStom him to the
change gradually. On this point, too
his wife was firm, quoting her author
tiles with irritating readiness. The
Walterses are a harmonious couple
but this time they came near quarrel
There, he's quieting down at last,
said Mrs. Walters. triumphantly, and
she was right. Baby's frantic outcTie'
had given way to pitiful sobs. Pres
emily these also ceased, and Mrs. Wal
ters smiled across the table at her hus
band, who smiled back. Both We're 81
relieved that the ordeal was over thai
they We're inclined to overlook what
ever might have been unpleasant IL

Now, you see. he's asleep. I'm go

! She stepped lightly across the room
and opened the door Of the bedroom
Then she uttered a succession o.
shrieks compared to which baby's re
