well started the fair descendants of Revolu-
tionarv sires also set about in similar patriotic
spirit, and through their societies. called Daughters
OF the American Revolution and Daughters of the
Revolution, they have distinguished themselves,
especially in the defense OF ancestral homes against
attacks of Father Time.
The Ellsworth House latest of nine Revolutionary
structures in keeping OF the Daughters of the
American Revolution-what a delightful Indian
summer atmosphere OF the past surrounds this
old homestead al Windsor, Connecticut where
lived Oliver Ellsworth, close friend Of George Wash
ington, who made him Chief Justice OF the United
States and Plenipotentiary TO France. Though this
magnetic parsonage seemed public life, the rather
austere Aew-Englander TO be handled with diplo-
matte gloves-for when Napoleon sighted him in
crowd Of foreign ambassadors he said promptly:
We shall have TO make treaty with that man -
"a genial warmth pervaded his private life.
In remembrance OF Washington's musical per-
Torrance in the Ellsworth nursery one night
Darby Ram was sung that auspicious day
not long ago when the front door-key Of Ellsworth
House was turned over 70 Connecticut Daughters
Of the American Revolution. Indeed, the Governor
and many military strap turned out alike TO euo-
gize The fair patriots Oliver Ellsworth and his fifty
heirs who made the precious offering OF their home
stead TO the society. while the speeches were ap-
Ilauded by two thousand spectators.
The heirs have been less liberal in restoring
the furnishings TO the old hreside, and many an
offered up It's cheering beverage when the President
OF the United States dropped in for little visit
has returned TO its old-time setting in the
house.
A delightful side Of the man IS reflected in the
letters he wrote his boys when in Paris. Daddy
Is a great way off, - he began in one epistle but
he thinks about his little BOYS every day and he
hopes they very good boys and learn their
books well, and say their prayers every night and
then God VIII love them much daddy does.
The robbers came around the house where
daddy lives the other night, and the gardener shot
off his double-barreled gun and killed two of them;
and daddy believes if the robbers come into his
room they viii get killed for he keeps a gun and
two pistols charged all the time and when he comes
home he intends TO give his gun to Martin and his
pistols TO Billy and Harry
But before the statesman con-
Cluded the letter he wrote a

The DAVIS Work.

Much of the success OF life depends
on proper preparation for the days
work. Nest people work either In
the home or office, and they desire to
get the most out Of themselves. To
rise late, rush through the toilet and
gulp down hasty breakfast Is no
preparation for good days work,
yet 1t Is safe to say that the majority
of the women begin the day In this
way. 1t Is just as easy to rise In
plenty OF time, If one will only do 1t
The tendency on walking Is tostretch
and avn. A few minutes spent In
this deep breathing Is always restful.
This should be followed by a few
breaths of fresh afr, drinking a couple
glasses OF water, exercise that suits
the case, the bath aud toilet. This
forms a mental attitude consistent
with good days work. A simple
breakfast-som take none-should
follow before an unhurried journey
either to Office or the routine of house
work. Stand erect. breathe erect,
think erect, and half the battle of life
is won.

TRAINING the skin.

The usual effect of a draft of cold
air upon the back of the neck is a cold
and a sore throat. Many years ago
DR.. Brown Sequard. an eminent
French physician. devised a means by
which sore throat from this cause
might be prevented. By blowing upon
the back of the neck with a pair of bel
lows. increasing the time each day, he
trained his patients until they could
endure this treatment for half an hour
without injury.
It is not necessary to be exposed to
a draft of air on the back of the neck
in order to obtain this result. By
means of the cold bath, the wet-sheet
rub, the shower bath, towel friction,
etc, the skin may he educated to con
tract on the slightest increase of cold.
Daily exposure to the contact of cold
air is of the utmost Importance. 1t is
because of the constant exposure to
cold that the Indians body is all face
the skin of his whole body has
learned to take care of itself.
