The writer, Miss Elizabeth Howard

offered to emigrant women to come to
America, Of the dangers they have
to meet on the landing, of the protec-
ton societies which have sprung up
to care for defenceless women and
girls, Of the fathers and husbands and
friends who meet them at the end of
their painful steerage journey. In

Shipping Away Wealth.

The editor of the Southern Farm
Magazine says:
The constant shipment Of cattle to
Cuba leads the Florida Times Union
to estimate the impoverishment of
the soil >thereby, and to urge the
slapghtering Of cattle and the utiliza-
ton of skin, bones, horns, cts, within
~ehe limits Of the state. It makes the
point that every full-grown steer sold
out Of Florida carries in his bones
beyond recall an appreciable quantity
Of that which is the very bone of the
land in the shape Of phosphates and
lime. 1t says that with one hand it
sends forth beef with the hides, bones
and offal, constituting the most val
liable source Of fertilizer, and with
the other it purchases from the North
dressed beef, prepared fertilizers,
shoes and other, articles made of
leather. 1t shows that the hides
could be converted into leather on the
spot, with tannin derived from the
red mangrove, that the slaughtered
bceves would supply all the plaster
er's hair needed in several states and
large quantities Of glue and that the
establishment of factories dealing
with these materials would attract
capital, the breed of stock would be
improved, the~value Of grazing lands
would be enhanced, and the popula-
tion Of, the State increased. These
are wise suggestions, and apply to
other States besides Florida. But

How soon will Alabama, Mississippi

graces without any of the failings of her sex,
Is it wise to idealze the loved one to this ex-
tent? is often asked by those onlookers who, re-
pute has it, see most of the game. Is it not far
better to note the little weaknesses and short
comings, and to gradually work reform before
marriage, so that they may be spared the pangs
of disillusion which are sure to follow after the
knot has been tied?
The reply to these pessimists and cynics, who
are always desrous that things should be rep
resented they are stripped of any false glory
lis that love, far from being blind, is in reality
frequently cearer-visioned than the rest of the
world 1t may he that he wears rose.colored
spectacles, but certain it is that behind the com
monpace exterior Love discerns the hidden pos
sbties awaiting only his magic touch to spring
forth in all their strength and beauty
How often do we hear the remark, "So-and-so
has completely changed; his wife has been the
making of him? Is not this due to the ideal
ization of the lover, and the endeavor to live up
TO it by the loved one? People are inclined to

them, and so it comes about that the woman who

of long bar with hook-like projections on each
end for grasping and firmly holding any object
put within its reach. A long, light weight wood
en- pole is attached to the rod so that it may be
raised to good distance without having to step
on a ladder or chair for ordinary purposes
Pictures are easily taken off the molding with
OF without the hook and replaced thereon.
When adjusted under a curtain pole, the latter
is slipped into the catch-like holder and is
brought down from its high resting place with
the greatest ease. The ends are also used to
graduate the fulness of curtains on the pole. And
when enveloped in muslin, flannel or chamois, it
becomes practical cleaner for removing dust
from the walls.
These devices are sold in the shops and retail
for go cents and 81 and figure among the

SANITARY BRUSHES FOR CLEANING
In this day of hardwood floors it requires con-
slant and well directed effort to keep them in
good condition, free from dust and the inevitable
scratches and dull marks left in the track of foot
steps.
To supply these practical demands, the shops
have provided some excellent brushes of various
sorts to clean and polish them. Heavily loaded
brushes are used to press the wax into the surface
of the wood, which is most effectually done in
this manner
One of the incest brushes to rub over floors to
remove dust is of lambs wool, and may be washA
ed out often necessary, therefore is free from
germs
A particularly desirable brush is made of felt,
cut in pieces about three inches long and three
quarters of an inch wide, 1t is employed like
a dry broom, sweeps hardwood or painted floors
and cleans walls, ceilings and cornices. With the
handle detached it is used to dust furniture, and
being soft does not leave scratches on polished
surfaces
One of its most-desirable features is that it col
lects dust instead of scattering it, and retains
the until it is shaken out. The price for
this brush is so cents with the handle attached.

many good qualities which he does not possess,
eventually, by the very intensity of her love and
desire that he should possess them, creates them
in him.
A notable instance was that of man who was
considered by all his friends to be particularly
bad-tempered One day he fell in love, and be-
came engaged.
To the secret amusement of his circle of ac-
quantances, his iancee went about extolling his
good temper! Everyone prophesied her speedy
dislusionment. But in a few months, to their
surprise, he completely lost his irritability, and
it became evident to all that he had actually
been metamorphosed into the good-tempered fell
low his sweetheart had always declared him to
be. He had only shown his best side to her,
and she had SO idealized this view of him that,
in order to live up to her estimate he had be-
come quite changed character.
Men are more often than not little disnayed
at the gloriied version of themselves, which their
sweethearts are prone to indulge in, but instno-
lively they endeavor to live up to the ideal pre-.
sented to them, and IN doing so frequently be
come possessed of the very qualities in which
they were deficient

gether, daily or nightly, whichever is the most
convenient.
The courtship of the average unmarried couple
offers, of course, large variety of diversion. In
addition to daily walks or moonlit strolls, they
have, as rule more time and opportunity for
tennis, cycling, boating, and other outdoor amuse-
ments than married folk
II is to be feared, however, that thousands Of
young couples who derive enormous healthful ad
vantages from their courtships do not realize to
what an extent their physical well-being is de-
pendent upon their love-making.
An instance of this occurred about year ago
in certain village. A certain young couple were
separated by the girls departure for the town.
She stayed in a situation there for few months,
but was i'll the whole time.
Her sweetheart, left behind in his native place,
also suffered in health. 1t transpird that both
had kept themselves indoors great deal during
the period Of separation.
When the young woman returned, and the
courtship was resumed both quickly recovered
their usual health.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-22

A provincial man recently made the strange
avowal that, though too poor to marry, he had
indulged in no fewer than seven courtships, all
of which were undertaken for the sake of his
health.
He found that solitary walks were not so
beneficial as walks taken in feminine society; and
he did not care for tramping with male friends,
as he was troubled with shortness of breath, and
could not comfortably keep up the usual mascu-
line pace.
There is no doubt whatever that, in countless
instances, courtship has most salutary effect
upon the mental and physical health Of young
men who adopt the role of lover.
After marriage many couples neglect to enter
tain and cheer each other up as in days of yore
This omission, together with the giving up Of
regular walks or other recreation in each others
company, has injurious effect upon their
health.
The remedy is obvious, and those who are I'M
well in body or peevish and discontented in
mind cannot do better than adopt the genuine
courtship cure.

Another brush with rubber edge is made OF
chamois and collects the dust besides polishing
the surface.
The majority of brushes have rubber ixings
on the end SO that they will not scratch or nick
any furniture with which they happen to come
in contact.
Weighted or loaded brushes range in price from
81 upwards, according to- size and quality. They
do away with the laborious task of rubbing in
the wax or polishing that was done on the hands
