Rough Hands.

a common cause of rough and red
hands of women who do their own
house work is that they neglect to wash
! Off the coarse soap they have been US
ing in water, and because the hands
are clean do nothing further. Hands
are clean after washing dishes or dish
towels or the like, because thew have
been in a strong soap water. But soap
that will cut grease from dishes will
ruin the hands if it is allowed to re-
main on them, and every woman who
does her own homework should keep
at the kitchen sink d cake of soft toilet
soap CASTLE, if it agrees with her skim
and when she has finished her kitchen
work, even though her hands be as
white as snow, she should wash them
thoroughly with the toilet soap. using
nail brush, and then rub in glycerine
and rose water. If this is done faith
fully there will be no trace of house
work by rough hands. Improper WHIP
ing is the cause of much chapping of
the skin of the hands and omission of
some soothing emollient used after
ward finishes the bad work. Unless
every particle of the skin is dry, and
also unless a softening preparation is
rubbed on, the skin will be rough and
dry because that is the effect of the
water. There is nothing better COM
pounded by chemists for the skin than
glycerine and rose water, and glycerine
and plain water is cheaper and equally
good. The proportion is one-third gIy-
cerine and two-thirds water The adj
dition of five drops of pure carbolic
acid to half pint of the mixture in
creases its healing qualities. Have the
druggist drop in the carbolic and have
the glycerine in a bottle large enough
to hold the rest of the liquid. Add the
plain Of rose water and shake violently
to mingle thoroughly. Keep on the
WaShStand or at the sink, and when
ever the hands are wet. pour on three
or four drops of glycerine. rub it over
and then wipe dry In cases of ex-

Gloves, if they did not know il. are a |

AN EMPTY DAY.

Mabel Earle.
An empty day. l said, when from His
hand
L took it first, what time the dawn
grew grey.
'oid of the work and joy that l had
planned;
An empty, bitter day.
How shall face the long, still hours .,
THE slow sure hours whose silence is
not peace,
AS one by one they pass with even
Until the daylight cease?"
1 bowed mine head. and said. God
help me bear
The cross of these forsaken hours, I
pray,
As in thy sight Then first 1 was
aware
OF patience in my day.
One after one the silent hours went
Nor joy nor hope came near my lot
Nor blessed work, to hands which pain
held fast;
Yet they were hours of prayer.
And while 1 waited. and they still went
on,
Infinite yearning drew my heart
above.
Outstretching to the gates where
Christ has gone
So they were hours of love.
One other Guest 1 knew, when far
away
The last still hour through sunset
portals trod:
The presence that filled my empty
day
Prayer, Patience, Love, and God.

LITTLE THINGS.

A little thrill of laughter, a chord il

A little deed of righteousness to stand
against the wrong;
A little duty needed; a little honor

little hill surmOunted; and a little
Kindness done;
"A little labor daily; little prayer and
praise;
A little act of kindness to gladden.

And so the whole creation in its cease
less heaven swings,
For little man is living in a world of
little things.
A little hope to cheer US, although it
waiteth still;
A little fire for comfort, when winter
nights are chill:
A little dream, God-given, to bless US
on the way;
a little welcome waiting us at the end
ing of the day;
A little purpose shining through every
deed we do:
A little bunch of roses to overspread
the rue;
A little peace surprising to which the
spirit clings,
For little man is living in a world of
little things.
a little hope, a little love, little toll
and rest;
A little glimpse beyond the veil, a lit

A little faith, a little doubt, a little
blinded trust:
A little hating Journey and n LITTLE of
its dust;
A little knowledge merely Of the little
ways we wend;
A little dream of heaven, awaiting in
the end;
A little struggling upward, although on
broken wings,
For little man is living in a world of
little things.

She Never Grows Old.

Who allows herself to think only of
pleasant things.
Who trains her tongue to utter only
pleasant words.
Who remembers that frowns are un-
becoming and that smiles are better.
Who keeps her nerves we'll under
control, and remembers that they are
not an interesting subject to every one
else.
Who enters into the plans and, as far
as possible. into the doings Of the young

Who never allows herself to become

Who treats others as she likes to be
cared for herself and never demands
too much from her friends.

The Woman Who Mays.

There is the woman who nags, and
many do it without being conscious of
it. She is often perfectly well bred in
all other respects, but she loves her
husband so that she can't help but ply
him with questions. The why's and
where's and whens and Il ted you So"
become a daily routine which exhausts
the patience of the best of men. A wise
wife should remember that when n
thing has once been talked over and
threshed out it is good form at least to
let it alone. Constant reference to a
fault or a mannerism is the cause of
more marital infelicity than the aver
age wife dreams Of Good manners are
happy ways of doing things, and good
sense, cheerfulness and tact should
guide every woman who bears the
honor and dignity of wifehood toward
the channel of these happy ways.

RUsKIN's IDEA OF wIFEHoop.

What do you think the beautiful
word wife" comes from? 1t is the
great word in which the English and
Latin languages conquered the rench
and Greek. hope the French will
some day get a word instead of that
femme But what do you thing it
comes from The great value of the
Saxon words is that they mean some
thing. Wife means weaver" You
must either be housewives or house
moths, remember that. In the deep
sense, you must either weave mems
fortunes and embroider them. or feed
upon and bring them to decay. Wher-
ever true wife comes, home is al
ways around her. The stars may be
over head. the glow-worm at her feet,
but home is where she is and for a
noble woman it stretches far around
her. better than houses ceiled with
cedar or painted with vermillion-
shedding it's quiet light for those who
else are homeless. This. I believe, is
the woman's true place and power. ;

MOTHERS LITTLE MAN.

Eyes of blue and hair of gold,
Cheeks all brown with summer tan,
Lips that much of laughter hold,
This is mothers little man.

Long-lashed eyes, demure and staid,
Sweetest face in all the town,
This is mothers little maid.
Dainty room with snow-white beds
Where. like flowers with petals curl

Rest in peace two dreaming heads.
This is mothers little world!

A BATTLE WORTH FIGHTING

Sometime ago in commenting upon the almost complete unity of the Alas kan press in support of the principle of self-government for this district the Daily Alaskan said the situation now is quite different from what it was in those days when the Daily Alaskan, the Ketchican Journal and the Valdez News were unaided by the remainder of the press of the district in their bat tie for the rule of the people. In com menting upon this, the Nome Nugget, edited by Major J, F. A. Strong, one of the very ablest editorial writers and newspaper men on the Pacific Coast, says:
 ''It is different indeed. but a battle for tho rule of the people is worth fighting for, what though victory be aiar oil and the few fight the many. Time was, and not so long ago, that to mention territorial government for Alaska was to be laughed at as wis., iouary or an imbeclle, But the acorn planted has taken root and bids fair to grow into a sturdy oak. The majority of the newspapers of Alaska who roundly condemned and ridiculed the territorial idea, have seen some light and The Nugget, and those of it's con- temporaries who stood with it valiantly and tearlessly, will welcome them Into the territorial fold.
 The Nugget has favored territorial government for Alaska, first because selI-goverumeut is an American herit- age, and secondly, because though a territorial government would not be a psnacea for all our ills and corrupt and unfit men would inevitably attain pow CT, vet for all that it would, in tho Nuggets opinion, still be preferable to the bastard system of government which we now have. Under the pres ent federal system the corrupt and in- capable are able to entreuch them selve in office despite the almost uuan- inous protest of the people of Alaska.
 Had Alaska territorial autonomy all the people would not protest in vain all the time"
 Major Strong is right. A battle for the people and for the right is always worth fighting, and it will always be successful if persisted in. The day is not far in the distance when the Amer icanism of the Alaskan people will be stirred sufficiently to assert itself in such 8 way as to win the prize of self government. Then will all those who have participated in the contest for the rights of the people receive their re- ward. It will come in the satisfaction of mind that will follow a realization that they have fought good fight and been instrumental iu another vindica- tiou for the American system of gov erument.
