Housekeeping Demand. intellect.

The Philanderer has lately encoun.

bitter meanings of the word so slngu.
larly expressive, invalid. During her
hard term of seeming uselessness il
became needful that her college bred
daughter should take up those reins OF
government, previously held in the
mothers quietly competent hands. No
wrinkles of maladministration had ever
shown on the polished surface of that
home, says Good Housekeeping. Here
had been, apparently, an instance of
home-making and housekeeping ac.
complished as IL were effortlessly, with
the left hand, the tips of the fingers
A light task 1t seemed, lightly carried
and with no sign of brain-tax or test
in the process. So for years had the
home run; why should it not run on
now as easily, as gracefully?
AS a matter of fact it did-but at the
price. The pound of flesh that the
home asks of its maker is not taken
without its red blood tax on life. on

the young housekeeper found with sur.

was left uncalled for to maintain the
old home standards. Thus applying
her new equipment, the new regime
differed only in non-essentials from the
old.
But did you never before think that
it took brains to keep house?' asked
the mildly triumphant mother, proud
of the daughter, of the home she main
tanned, of the old order unchanged.

Eamoua Missionary Shin.

After being used for eighteen
months among the Micronesian group
of islands in the South Sea the fam
GUS missionary ship Morning Star
has been taken to Honolulu, where
she will be sold at auction.
The Morning Star was bought by
the pennies of Sunday School chill
dren throughout the country Her
cost was $4,000. The steamer was
originally the Shoe City, running be-
tween Boston and Lynn.
Eighteen months ago the Morning
Star sailed from Boston with n party
of missionaries bound for the South
Sea islands After landing the peo-
pie the steamer was employed carry
ing supplies from the various islands
and missionary stations and also in
carrying native children to the Christ
ian schools. There are few vessels
afloat so well known to seamen as the
Preacher Ship" as she was named.
The reason for selling the ship is
stated to be the cost of operating her.
Coal in the South seas commands a
higher price than in more frequented
portions of the globe, and the traffic
would scarcely justify the board re-.
tanning so large a steamer.-Seattle

TIL, Point of th. rrovcrb.

An old proverb advises the Shoe
maker to stick to his last 1t means
that man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. TO the farmer
it means. stick to your plow; to the
blacksmith. stick TO your forge; to the
painter, stick to your brush. When we
make experiments out of our line they
are likely to prove expensive failures.
1t is amusing, however, to remark
how every one of us secretly thinks he
could do some other fellows work bet
ter than the other fellow himself. The
PAINTER imagines he can make paint
better than the paint manufacturer;
the farmer thinks he can do job OF
.painting better. or at least cheaper
than the painter, and so on
A farm hand in one of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking Del
egate of the Painters Union, ANY
body can slather paint' and the old
line paiuter tells the paint salesman,
None of your ready made mixtures
for me; l reckon | ought to know how
to mix paint"
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: Shoemaker, stick
to your last" The fancy farmer
can farm, of course, but it is an eX-
penslve amusement. II it strikes him
as pleasant to grow Strawberries at
fifty cents apiece. or TO produce eggs
that cost him five dollars a dozen, II
Is form of amusement, to be sure, ii
he can afford ii, but it's not farming.
If n farmer likes to slosh around with
q paint brush and can afford the time
and expense of having a practical
painter do the job right pretty soon
afterward. it's Il harmless form of
amusement. If the painters customers
can afford TO stand for paint that
comes off in half the time it should,
they have a perfect right to indulge
his harmless vanity about his skill in
paint making. But in none OF these
cases does the shoemaker stick to his
last
There is just one class of men in
the world that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing II right; and that is the paint
manufacturers-the makers of the
standard brands of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mixes paints the
paint manufacturer grinds them to-
gether. In a good ready-prepared paint
every particle of one kind of pigment
is forced to Join hands with a particle
of another kind and every bit Of solid
matter is forced, as It We're, to open Its
mouth and drink in its share OF linseed
oil. That is the only way good paint
can be made, and II the painter knew
how to do It he has nothing at hand to
do II with. A paint pot and paddle
are poor substitute for power-mixers,
bnhr-mills and rolier-mils.
The man who owns a building and
neglects to paint ii as often as 1t needs
paint is only degree more short
sighted than the one who tries to do
his own painting or allows the painter
to mix his paint for him. r. @.

sweets For Children.

The old theory that sugar is deleter-
ious for children is now exploded, the
latest dictum of food specialists being
that it is food especially adapted to
children, because of their great activ-
ity, says an exchange. The amount of
sugar to be given and the form in
which it is to be supplied are still ques-
tions of much Importance. Until Il
child reaches its second year the natur-
al sugar in the milk supplies all that is
necessary, but after that sweets of a
wholesome nature eaten at regular
meals are considered beneficial. Most
people still agree that sugar should not
be used with the breakfast mush or
porridge or wheat or oatmeal. but is
better furnished in simple puddings,
custards, cookies, loaf sugar or home
made candy. Sweet fruits, such as figs
and dates, are exceedingly wholesome,
and should be freely furnished.-New
York Mail.

Public Kissing in Di.fsvor.

No wonder the much-made-up beau
ties of to-day no longer kiss one anoth-
er in public, for compilations are not to
be trified with. and such oscillations
sometimes prove damaging to peaches
and cream" and the nut-brown tint so
fashionable at present. There are
three reasons for the passing of this
custom. One is that the exaggerated
hats many women wear are likely to
come in collision, to the damage of
roses and paradise plumes as well as to
wearers tempers. Then the elaborate,
gauzy neckpieces are crushed easily
and lose their pristine freshness. Third,
flowing wells become a tangled mass
of chiffon or net, and the large velvet
spots, with too rough treatment, easily
become detached. All these points
nave so affected feminine nerves that
the manly handshake has come in."-

DRUMMER WAS POOR ADVISER.
Fat d Flaw In Prescription for Cure of

Speaking of rheumatism, said the
drummer as he sagely shook his head,
81 had brother who was afflicted
with 1t for six years. He tried half
dozen different doctors and went to
half a dozen different springs, but he
found no relief. At length he deter
mined to try heroic measures. That
is, advised him to do something in
that direction as a forlorn hope, and
thought the tip good one"
What did he try?" was asked
He went into a pasture and faced
a bull that had tossed half a dozen
men skyhigh. We figured that when
the bull started for him with head
down and tail up the scare would
drive the rheumatism out and he
would strike 2:40 gait for the fence"
And how did it work?"
Three minutes after the bull
caught sight of Charley his rheuma-
tism was gone, never to return"
You don't say!"
But do, and Charley was gone
with it. He never knew how high he
went when the bull got his horns un-
der him, and he never knew what a
hole he made in the ground when he
came down."
Then your-your advice"
Was the worst thing he could have
followed, sir. and it was a great moral
lesson to ne. Since that time l have
