For Our Girls.

Elizabeth N. Gnmer In Twentieth Century Home.
The 6rst reason Why women fail as wives
IS because marriage has never yet been es-
teemed one Of the learned professions
which only highly qualified individual is
fitted to practice On the contrary, il is
held 20 be kind of jack leg trade that any
girl can pick up at . minutes notice, and
carry on successfully without the slightest
previous knowledge or training. No girl
would be eonceited enough to think that
she could practice medicine or law or dem
,is,ry without devoting years to its study.
She wouldn't even dream of hiring out as
a stenographer without first learning how
TO make pot-hooks, but she blithely and
cock surely tackles the most difficult and
complicated job existing-that of being
wife-on the fallacious assumption that a
knowledge Of how TO manage 4 man and
make him happy and comfortable comes to
a woman by inspiration and not through
preparation.
When the average girl marries she does
not even know how to make man physi-
cally>eomfortable, and yet, unromantic as
this may seem, the very foundation of do
mestic happiness has to be laid in bodily
ease. Nobody can be sentimental on an
empty stomach, and bad cooking will kill
the tenderest affection in time Love is
choked to death on tough steak as well as
slain by unfaithfulness, and many young
husbands illusions about his bride have
been drowned in watery soup. The first
inkling that young Benedict gets that his
Angelina is not all his fondest fancy paint
ed her, and that he has missed his affinity,
is when he has to sit down to ill-cooked
and ill-served meals; and you may be very
sure that if there were no bad dinners there
would be precious few men wandering away
from home. x x To be a good
wife is not an easy task. 1t is one of the
most strenuous undertakings on earth. 1t
It requires labor and skill and care and tact
and unselfshness, but it is the kind of ser
vice woman agrees to give when she gets
married. IF she doesn' like the price, she
can stay single.

words before am taken away forever from
my fellowmen. In memory | can see a
little white schoolhouse with its broad play
ground shaded with rows of leafy naples.
| see the children as they play their games
at recess, and coming home | see two little
boys side by side with their lunch baskets,
perhaps eating an apple or piece of cake,
each one dividing with each other. | see
them in the sweet summer time wading in
the old mill stream or lying on the grassy
banks watching the fish. see them as
they grow to manhood and enter college,
then again see them side by side on the
battle field in their suits of blue. But
these sweet visions fade, and another one
appears. | see one of them going the
downward path, see him as he staggers
down the street, and | see the other one
with his hish-born face, pleading with the
drunken one TO reform. | hear his kind
words as he pleads, but pleads in vain
And the drunken one raises his hand and
strikes his friend to the ground. see him
a he lies still and motionless on the ground
Then | see dark, gloomy prison sur
rounded By high stone walls, and in that
prison | see the one who committed the
crime, serving his life sentence. Isee him
toiling day by day with never hope of
release, shut up from the busy outside
world, never again to wander free, never
again to associate with the friends and CON-
panions Of former days, but there is a
gloomy prison in which to toll till life shall
end, then be buried in potter's field and
forgotten by all who once knew and loved
him, Judge, was drunk only obee, but
it was enough, | have finished
He covered his face with his hands as if
to shut out the light, when like the knell
Of death bell the clock in the tower tolled
the hour. nine o clock.

Hard Riding In Northwest.
From the seattle Pos..IntsllIseneer.

From the seattle Post-Intelligeneer.
"You people who came here since the
railroads were built have an idea that we
used to have bad time of it in getting
about Washington Territory, said the old
timer the other day. That's where you
are wrong. Distances were no greater than
they are now. True, we didn' always go
so fast as you do now, but we made speed
that would astonish you.
81 remember one trip an old friend Of mine
made, a big cattleman from Kittitas county,
afterward the owner Of considerable prop
erty in Seattle. His divorced wife was
living here, and she took it into her head
to 90 after him through the courts for nom
payment of alimony. There were a num-
Der Of reasons why he shouldn't pay, but
he didn't care to stay here and argue it
out with the court, so getting tip on what
was doing, he decided to go back to the
cattle in Kittitas. About o clock one
evening, accompanied by his horse wrang-
Ter, who happened to be here with him,
he struck out horseback for Ellensburg.
The two rode all night-it was in midsum-
mer and at the full of the moon-and the
next morning they ate breakfast in Ellens-
burg-110 miles away. And they didn't
think it was much Of a ride at that.
"Rides? Why, l could talk all day
about rides in those days. One of the
best ever done in the territory, however,
was that BY a young half-bree during
the Nez Perces uprising in 1877. When
Joseph went out with his band one of the
first things they did was to cut the mill
tary telegraph between Fort Lapwai, up
the Clearwater River from Lewiston, and
Walla Walla Fort Lapwai wanted to
send dispatches to General Howard at the
post at Walla Walla, and wanted to send
them bad At that time nearly all the
Indians on the reservation had half bred
or at least one pretty good horse in his rid
ing string. This particular young half
breed boy had an extra good one, and he
was selected to carry the dispatches, being
a reliable and faithful fellow. Well, he
rode through to Walla Walla in 10 hours,
A distance of 120 miles, and during the
ride he never slowed down from gallop.
That was in midsummer, and if you ever
have been in that Snake River region at
his season of the year you can imagine
hat was some riding.

To Keep Furniture Clean.

Frnm the Housekeeper.
The sweeping and busting which takes
place at this time of year are of most
particular kind Moisten a cloth and fas-
ten around broom just over the broom
part, This will keep the dust from rising
and make the work easier Sweep always
with long firm strokes, away and to the
front Of the sweeper. Always sweep away
from and dust toward the worker The
dust cloths should be soft old silk, and
nearly every housekeeper has on hand old
umbrella eases, gowns petticoats waists,
etc TO furnish silk busters: falling those
81; silk, cheese cloth i the next best, but
10 not use r cloth dampened with water.
For vanished furniture dampen the cloth
With kerusene. bu, for genuine polished
surfaces ditfcren, treatment Is required.
When the polished surface Of the piano
is soiled aud dull looking wet over with
paraifn oil and le, it remain for two hours
Apply the oil sparingly, and at the end of
the time polish with linen and chamois.
This Is cleaning, however, and not busting
Always use two cloths for dusting, one in
each hand Then every time the left hand
rests ou polished surface there viii not
be left the trace Of soiled fingers and per-
syiration Ii is a great mistake not TO
have on hand so generous supply Of dust
cloths that one can afford TO change very
oiten, for dusting furniture with soiled
cloths does much to iujurc the finish, es-
PeCislly Of polished furniture. For carved
furniture that Is dusty use fine pain;
brush, dipped in kerosene oil; brush over
the carvings aud they viii appear bright as
when new, or dip the brush in good fur
uiture polish.
Who h not tormented with white
spots on the diningroom table? To rem
edy have ready three cloths and three sau-
GERS, containing. one kerosene, one alcohol
and one sweet oil. If kerosene or raw in-
seed oil is applied as soon as the spot Is
6rst made i, viii often remove il at once
Aflcr the stain has been allowed to stand
for some time, however, frst apply the
kerosene, then the second cloth with alcO-
hol, and finally the third cloth with sweet
oil or hnseei oil, rubbing the last in thor
oughly, until the spo, has disappeared.

MILES AND MILES OF THREAD
'sDo you know that Baltimore uses more
thread than any other city in the United
States p said Mr.. Harry Fleishman, of
the Thread Agency of Philadelphia, at the
Rennert yesterday. "And do you know
that it has more general manufacturing Of
such wearing apparel as skirts and overalls
than any other American city? 1t is true,
and you should be elated over the great
business activity of the city. We sell the
greater part of $500, 900 worth of thread
a year to Baltimore concerns. The thread
is used in the manufacture of overalls,
shirts, hats, shoes, ties, general clothing,
dresses, robes-in fact, everything made
to wear, and an infinite variety Of other
thread eating necessaries. When you con-
slider that most of the thread is sold at from
IL to Is cents for 2, 400 yards, you can
figure for yourself the total number of mil
lions of miles of thread that pass in and
out of Baltimore from Christmas to Christ
mas. Just take your pencil and figure it
out. In one factory of this city they have
$500 machines constantly at work"

Gould Not Resist.

STERLING, ILL.,, March 20.-As result of
a great religious revival which has Just closed
in Dixon FIVE dancing clubs have disbanded,
and several thousand people have taken an
oath not to frequent barrooms and not to have
anything to do with dancing parties or card
tables. The famous Kendall Club, charita-
BILE organization, which raised several thou
sand dollars a year for charity, voted not to
hold any more dances and gave to William NJ.
Sunday. ''the baseball evangelist" $500.
During the revival three bartenders were
converted. number of gambling dens were
closed and gambling outfits were demolished.
All the close of the meeting a basket collection
was taken for the evangelist, and people in
the Tabernacle gave him 81, 750 for his four
weeks work. During the four weeks of the
meeting it is estimated that 1900 people
attended the meetings, and that there were at
least 1000 conversions.

Easter is the most important church fes-
tival of the year, because by its dates are
fixed all the movable feasts of the Chris
tan year During the first three centuries
of the Christian era Easter was observed
on different dates by the Greek Church,
the Roman Church and the Celtic Church
In that year, however, the Council of
Mecca decided the date of Easter. 1t was
agreed that as the moon had been full on
the night after the Crucifction Easter must
be governed by the phases of the moon and
be a movable feast falling on the first Sun
day after the full moon of the spring equi-
nox.
Several methods for computing the date
of Easter for any given year have been
devised, but that of President Bernard, of
Columbia University, is said to be the sim
plest
First find the golden number and do
minical letter for the given year From
the number of the centuries take its fourth
part and its third part (disregarding frac-
tions in both cases and increase the re-
suit by two Thus for the twentieth cen
tury we have 20 minus minus 6 plus 2,
which equals IL. Add Is to II and we
have &c, and | l and &c are the two numer-
ical terms for the century.
If the golden number ofthe year is odd,
to four times the golden number add IL.
If the golden number is even, to four times
the golden number add 26 The result in
each case, if greater than 20 or less than
so, is the date of the paschal full moon,
considered as day of March. For in
stance, if the number is 33 the day date
of the full moon is March 33, or April 2.
If the result is not greater than 20 and
less than so add 80 or subtract 80, or
even 90 if necessary to make it so, and
the result is the date of the paschal full
moon

Vulgar expressions denote degeneraey.
Don be ashamed Of gallantry toward

courteous toward the opposite sex.
Don't fall into bad habits with the fixed

Don'ts for Girls.

Don be rude toward your brothers.
Boys feelings are as sensitive as girls.
Don forget that you owe the same re-
spect and obedience to your father that
you do to your mother. Often the right
ful head Of the house is placed at the foot
through sheer thoughtlesSness on the part
of his family.
Don't forget that it is in most cases
father who devotes his life in work and
worry to provide for his family, and show
him the gratitude he deserves.
Don't have secrets from your mother.
Remember that she was a girl once like
yourself. aud that she will prove the most
sympathetic eoniidsnt in the world, for she
holds your happiness and welfare at heart.
