The BrotherIess Girl.

The girl without a brother is espe-
cially to be pitied. She is the girl who
is never certain of getting the pleasures
of life unless she is very attractive. OF
course, she has no brother who she is
certain will take her everywhere she
is apt to get a little bit vain, for she
has no brother to tell her, as only a
brother will, of her faults and mistakes.
1t is only the somewhat doubtful tact
of brother that announces Il wouldn't
walk up the street with you in that
frock."
And the girl whose brother says this
TO her may be certain that he is only
expressing the opinion of other girls
brothers.
He may not do it in the most gentle
way, but he does tell the truth, and if
you ask him why paying a visit to an
other girl is more desirable than to enc
you know, lie will sit down and look at
you, and then he will say-'Well, you
see, it is just this way. From the time
you get there she is a nice girl, who
gives you a pleasant welcome and yet
don't gush over you. She is entertain
ing. and yet she has a fashion of put
ting down nasty gossip or silly talk
among whoever is there. She is a
restful sort of girl, she is not always
wanting to do something that tires you
half to death and where the game isn't
worth the candle. and when she says
gooG-by to you, you feel certain that
she is pretty glad you came, and that
she will be glad to see you another
time; but that she doesn't look upon
you as the one and only man in the
world" That is the kind of descrip-
tlon that the brotherless girl can't get.
Then she doesn't hear of men that
fellow would rather not have his sis
tel to go with, and she is very apt, poor
dear. to make a few li@le mistakes.
Probably the wisest course for her to
pursue is for her to choose as her most
intimate friend a girl who has wise
brother; then she can reap the benefit
Of his counsel

They Are Clever in Business and
Can Manage Their Own.
The woman of the Philippines holds
position quite unique. The woman is
the business manager and financier of
the family, writes a traveller in the
Philadelphia Press. Although poor and
uneducated she is accustomed to hold
her own and is considered poor spirit
ed, indeed, if she fails to manage her
affairs with skill. She usually carries
on business of her own independent
of her husband. She is in the habit
also of attending, in company with her
husband, the gambling den, the cockpit,
and also takes part in political discus
sions
She has plenty of spare time, how
ever, as the houses are simple in con
struction and easily cared for. The
floors are of bamboo and, as the dust
Sits through, require little sweeping.
There are no windows TO polish, no
icebox to keep sweet and clean, no
closets to keep in order. When the
beds are rolled up in the morning the
work is done for the day. There are no
preserves to put up and no winter sup
plies to store away, for marketing is
done as is needed each day, or three
times day. No family lives alone, for
there are usually relatives or orphans
who share the life and work of a home,
so that there is little to do and still
try to occupy the mind.

The Eternal VIII.

There is nothing we cannot overcome.
Say not evil instinct is inherited.
Or that some trait Unborn makes thy
whole life forlorn,
And calls down punishment that is not
merited.
Back of thy parents and grandparents lies
The great Eternal Will. That, too, is
thine
Inheritance strong, beautiful, divine;
Sure lever of success for one who tries.
Pry up thy faults with this great lever
Will.
However deeply bedded in propensity,
However firmly set, tell thee frmer still
Is that strange power that comes from
truths immensely!
Thou art part of that vast world, l
say.
Its forces lie within thee, stronger far
Than all thy mortal sins and frailties are
Believe myself divine. and watch and
pray,
There is no noble hight thou canst not
climb;
All triumphs may be thine in times flu
turity,
If whatsoever thy fault thou dost not faint
or halt,
But lean upon the staff of Gods security,
Earth has no claim the soul cannot con-
test.
Know thyself part of that eternal source,
And naught can stand before thy spirits
force.
The souls divine inheritance is best.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Antimacassars Were Ads.

"This is an antimacasSar," said an
antiquary. 1T Is a hundred years OF
and very valuable on account of the
quaint designs of its embroidery. Some
day shall sell it to a millionaire. Yes.
some day this antimacassar will adorn
a milliOnaire's parlor, figuring there as
an antique object OF art, and that will
be as though a spittoon of to-day
should figure as an object of art in
some aesthetic lady's drawing room in
3OOO."
He laid the antimacassar, a kind of
tidy, in a sandalwood box. Then he
went on:
The words derivation shows the
things use-anti, against; macassar,
hair OIL The antimacassar was spread
on chair backs to protect them from
the oil in peoples hair. Everybody
used Rowland's macassar oil on his
locks in those days. The name given
to the tidy, or chair shield, was a free
advertisement for Rowland as excel
lent as it was unique"

The doctor jumped in and the par
son drove off The horse did go very
well, in the sense of speed, but in a
little while it began to behave badly
and ended by tipping over the carriage
and spilling out both the occupants.
The doctor jumped to his feet and felt
himself all over to see if he was in
jured. The parson also got to his feet.
Look here ~ exclaimed the doctor,
what do you mean by inviting me to
ride behind horse like that?'
well, you see," gasped the parson,

They are now at their posts in Siberia.
In May they meet surreptitiously on the

organizer of this extraordinary plot,
that we shall succeed
As the middle of February approached
Claud Tyars was TRANQUILITY engaged in
his preparations. Several ladies were
pleased to express their disapproval Of
this affectation of hard work and failed
to see why his evenings should be de-
voted to a task for which he had plenty
of time during the day.
1t would be hard to determine how
far Tyars realized his position. He was
a disciplinarian of the finest mold, and it
| is probable that he had never, up to this
! time, allowed for moment the fact that
| he loved Helen Grace. This determine
ton to cultivate the blindness of those
| who will not see was not dictated by cow
ardice; because Claud Tyars was, like
most physically powerful men, inclined,
to eXaggerate the practice of facing dis
agreeable facts with both eyes open. He
had refused to realize this most incon-
| venlent truth, because he was oppressed
| by vague fear that realization meant
betrayal.
He now suspected that Miss Winter
had known all along that Helen Grace
was not the same to him as other wom-
en-. Added to this was a suspicion that
she calmly and deliberately undertook
the task of forcing him to say as much
to Helen herself. He could think this
now without vanity.
Matthew Mark Easton stood and
watched, as you may have watched these
Slow, strong rivers, and knew that his
friend was passing on to some new coun-
| try with a purpose which he could not
stay nor turn aside. Probably he felt a
little doubtful of Claud Tyars-felt that
he could not rely upon him to act like
other men. At any moment the unexpect-
ed might supervene.
Deeply, however, as he felt his respon-
sibility, anxious as he was, he never lost
spirit. He was one of those men whose
courage rises TO the occasion, and while
he recognized fully that without Claud
Tyars failure was inevitable, he would
not blind himself into the belief that the
leader was absolutely safe.

Grinding Feed.

All good farmers recognize the value
of ground feed as part of the ration
and great many are equipped TO pro
duce it on the farm. 1t is as sense
less to carry grain to mill and back
again as to haul grain to the elevator
to have it threshed then haul the straw
home again. However, Il great many
will have ground feed even if they
have to haul the grain both ways.
But why haul it at allf There are
all sizes of feed grinders made and for
all kinds of power, from windmill to
a traction engine. With your own grind
ers you can make what you want and
in the right proportions to suit That
cannot be said when you patronize some
feed mills. The miller grinds so coarse
that the oats are not all cracked, 20
say nothing of knowing that you get
back your own grain or in the amount
you took. Who can tell If light oats
have been substituted for heavy or
spoiled corn for sound? Frauds in feed
are as common as any other kind of
steal. The man who has his own grind.
err Ia master of the situation.
ANY ingenious man can rig up an at
tachment so he can run a little grinder
with the common windmill, or attach
it to the gasoline engine that runs the
separator, etc, or put the bull on the
tread power and make him grind feed.
Whole grain goes through horses and
cattle and much is lost unless one per-
mits hogs to follow, which can not al
ways be done, especially with the work
horses. Why feed your oats to Eng
lish sparrows through the horses!

To Destroy Plant Lice.

Soapsuds will destroy plant lice if
used around trees and vines, especially
the aphides that work on the roots.
The suds may be sprayed on the leaves
as well as, thrown on the ground.
Whale oil soapsuds are used to de-
stroy scale, and if a little crude car
bolic acid is added to the suds it will
be all the better. For asparagus and
celery soapsuds are excellent, and when
thrown on the manure heap they assist
In preventing the loss of ammonia. If
soapsuds are to be thrown away it will
be an advantage to throw them where
they will prove beneficial.

While the Iron Is Hot.

A man who has done great deal of
literary work has found it a most ex-
cellent rule to turn aside, if possible,
even in the midst of an absorbing task,
for the purpose of looking up at the
moment any reference that touches his
curiosity. At times the curiosity can
be satisfied by a moments reading; if
more is required, it is easy to make a
note and return to the matter at
leisure; but often it will be found d
fatal error to put aside question with
out jotting down some memorandum.
The time TO fix fact in the memory is
when that fact is first introduced to
the mind and the interest in it is keen

Hiding Her Love.

1t may not be unmaidenly of a CIR
to love before she is asked, but it is
certainly unmaidenly of her to let the
fact be suspected. And did she real
lie how quickly she drops in the ap
probation of all who know her, she
would certainly be more circumspect in
her behavior. Unfortunately, some
girls do not scruple to do all they
can to attract the man upon whom
their choice has fallen. Instead of al
lowing him his prerogative OF wooine
and winning, an infatuated girl viii
show him only too plainly how very
welcome are his attentions.
1t is not surprising that onlookers
pour scathing criticism upon the Cir
who by her own conduct robs herself
OF the joy of being ardently wooed

posing long after he has reused a kin

Ally ear-Round Farming.

Lewis C. Duncan, of Westville, n. Y,
is what might be termed "a year round
farmer" He has twenty acres under
continual tiIlage, with most gratifying
results The farmland problem and
late frosts do not bother him, as all Of
his winter work is done under cover.
Just now an acre of spinach is produc-
ing a shelving load a day. Other houses
are set with radishes, beets and lettuce,
and from one to four wagon loads Of
produce are sent to market daily.
The average farmers work generally
ends when frosts come, but Duncan
says the time will come when farmers
will adopt modern methods and people
will have fresh vegetables every day in
the year.
