able fea lures of the American curren- cy system which the banks and the government have made no very earn est effort to reform. Perhaps the dan- ger from bacteria is not 90 serious IS some instigators would have us be- lieve, but many of the notes of small denomination do become dlsgustingly dirty, and the contrast between the general run of the American notes and those, for instance, of the Bank of England is sufficiently striking to prove that something might be done to improve conditions here. One effect of the present condition of the paper cur rency and of the lack of postal curren- ey system is the very large use of postage stamps for minor business transactions. This has grown to enor- nous proportions. to the acute incon
 venience of many large mercantile con cerns, and will contribute to the in- creasing pressure for a remedy.

A pretty red cloth coat that comes from Paris for child, might be dupli- cated in any other color, and made of a light weight cloth with an interlining would serve through the spring If the interlining were removed.
 The garment is loose fitting, with two very scant bias ruffles at the edge bottom. At least one of these ruff fies should be used, for If a child grows quickly the coat may be heightened by dropping the ruft1e that at first should be set upon the hem.
 The shoulder cape is put on in a graduating line and the top edge Is finished by band of stitching which continues down both sides of the front in double breasted effect. Two rows of buttons are made of the same vel vet that edges the cape and makes the fiat collar. A fur tippet should be worn in cold weather.

Every once in a while a wave of public sentiment sweeps across the country, as def1nable in its movemen, and character as any other real and physical thing. Generally speaking this popular feeling finds expression in suggested legisla ton or constitutional amendment Any student of Ameri- can history, viewed from its political and legislative standpoint, knows that an examination of congressional rec. ords presents a panorama, 90 to speak, of great public movements, culmina. ting sometimes in actual legisla ton, but more frequently subsiding withou, definite result. It is good thing to clear the political and social atmos- phere with these upheavals. stagnans air is fatal, and even a cyclone, with all It's accompanying trouble, is pref. erable to an atmosphere so heavy that it has lost all its vitality.

The reappearance of one of those historic letters containing the injunc- ton to burn 1t, and which did not get burned, calls attention to one case in which science and Invention have not come up with the needs of progress. Some inventions are wonderful; but the paths of statesmanship will never be easy until a time fuse is perfected which will make sure of burning up the letter to which 1t is attached.

The Untidy Girl as Wife.
hostess.

Every man has horror of a sloven- ly woman, and in his own wife makes no excuses for what, to the mere man, appears to be sheer laZiness. He doesn't come down to breakfast in a collarless, tieless, unshaven condition; and he expects his better half to start the day by graclng its opening meal as spick-and- span as if visitors were present.
 And really, dear, untidy girl friend, that ng-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 your self far more trouble in the long run by fiInging things down anywhere just to save the time 1t would occupy to put them away at once in their proper place.
 Think of the countless things mis- laid, 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 stock ings reposing in your work basket awaiting the return of their fellows, who have either been mislaid in the wash, or else remained 50 long lying about that they have disappeared at various times among rubbish!
 Then, again, untidy people have . knack of mislaying one glove; conse- quently 1t does not take them long to accumulate quite . hoard of odd

Live It Down.

AShNN A Do"hs Has your life been bitter sorrow?
 Live it down. Think about a bright tomorrow,
 Live it down. You will find 1t never pays Just to sit wet-eyed and gaze On the grave of vanished days:
 Live it down. Is disgrace your galling burden?
 Live it down. You can win 8 brave hearts guerdon
 Live it down. Make your life so free from blame That the luster of your fame Shall hide all the olden shame;
 Live it down. Has your heart secret trouble?
 Live 1t down. Useless griefs will make it double,
 Live it down. Do not water it with tears Do not feed it with your fears Do not nurse it through the years
 Live it down. Have you made some awful error?
 Live it down. Do not hide your face in terror;
 Live it down. Look the world square in the eyes, Go ahead as one who tries To be honored ere he dies;
 Live it down. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

A man falling on slippery side. walk, instead of dropping in 6 lets- urely, gentlemanly manner, like a boy falling from the barn, goes down 90 quick that the sidewalk smokes. The boy falling from the rldgepole or out of a tree, is very much less hurt than the prominent citizen falling from a point only three or four feet above the sidewalk The reason Is simple. The boy Is ferae naturae, but the man Is 90 stiffened with dignity at paying tax es and voting for the wrong party that If he wrenches himself anywhere something cracks. Let's be careful that our dignity doesn't harden on us and become a she'll for that Is what is the matter with the lobster.

How country life Is attracting a greater number of Americans every year is shown In no clearer way than by the increase in periodicals devoted to its various phases. AS to books on topics of this kind, each season brings them in greater numbers. until il seems as if the whole population must be interested in the country to the extent of buying books and periodicals on the subject. The Fastener is told by one writer how to build a log cab in, and by another how to run a duck farm on a pond. Mountain cottages, forest cottages, lake cottages, are de- scribed in a manner that makes the reader long to abandon the steam heated flat for breezy country home with chinks between the logs and holes in the roof.

The nation recently through its rep resentative at Washington responded impressively to Emerson's sentiment that civilization Is the power of good women. There was a striking recog
 hilton of this power when the statue of Frances E. Willard was unveiled in the capital. Moreover, as the statue stands, the first memorial to woman in statuary Hall, the personal distinction through which tribute Is paid to the sex commands immediate assent. Miss Willard was known throughout this country and throughout the world
 Few statesmen have achieved a celeb rity IS wide al hers, and none was ever more devoted to a noble work for the uplifting of humanity. It may be said also that to that work she brought abilities of an order rare among wom- en or men. She was great organizer, an effective speaker, dominant per sonality in any assemblage. She had the enthusiasm that is the height of man" combined with common sense, a sound understanding and rich gift of humor. Such endowment as hers would make splendid equipment for anyone who should aspire to be a leader of public thought. Having this endow- ment, she made such effective use of it as to exert an imperishable influence upon the good cause with which her name is most closely identified. Her fame was secure through her works
 and the nation honors itself in honor ing this line type of womanhood.
