She Was in the Wrong Church.

A nicely dressed woman entered the
First Presbyterian church of German
town last Sunday and, walking down
the aisle, took a front seat. She Joined
in the services vigorously, and when
the collection basket was passed to her
she took a coin out of her purse and
laid it in the basket. Then, looking
about her, casting glances in every di-
rection, an unmistakable look of sur
prise and amazement overspread her
face. Suddenly getting up, she gath
cred her parasol and gloves in her
hands and started on a rapid pace
down the aisle. Overtaking the young
usher who had passed her the collec-
ton basket, she electrified him and
every one nearby by reaching her hand
in the basket. Taking out the coin she
had put in. she leaned over and whis-
pered to the usher: I'm in the wrong
church" BY the time the usher had
recovered the door had slammed and
the absent-minded one had gone to
hunt her own house of worship.-Phil-
adelphia Record.

Dear Miss Valeau.

What is good for failing hair?
]. NJ, Salt Lake.
Half an ounce of camphor with one
ounce of boraX, dissolved in quart of
water makes a very efficacious wash
Tor falling hair. Heat the water before
adding the camphor and boraX, as this
will facilitate the dissolving of the in
gradients. Apply freely to the scalp
two or three times a week.

The Girl Who Smiles.

The wind was east, and the chimney
smoked,
And the old brown house seemed
drear,
For nobody smiled and nobody joked,
The young folks grumbled, the old folks
choaked,
They had come nome chilled and
weary.
Then opened the door, and girl came
in:
Oh. she was homely-very;
Her nose was pug, and her cheek was
There wasn't a dimple from brow to
chin.
But her brow was bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke not a word of the cold or
damp,
Nor yet of the gloom about her,
But she mended the fire, and lighted
the lamp,
And she put on the place a different
stamp
From that it had without her
They forgot that the house was a dull
old place,
And smoky from base to rafter,
And the gloom departed from every
face,
AS they felt the charm of her mirthful
grace,
And the cheer of her happy laughter.
Oh, give me the girl that will smile and
sing.
And make all glad together,
To be plain or Fair is d lesser thing,
But a kind. unselfish heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.

A Cure for Nervousness.

An American scientific journal pub
lished recently timely remarks on what
is called house nerves. that is to say,
the low spirits and brooding, irrita bic,
morbid habit of stay-at-home or seden-
tary people. Women, especially wo-
men who are delicate and afraid to go
out owing TO the weather. are those
who suffer most from this malady
They grow anxious for their husbands,
and conjure up accidents, analyze their
feelings and lose their power of will.
"A woman who studies herself, her
wants and desires her ailments AMI
loneliness, is on a fair road to an asy-
lum, did she but know it. Imaginative
children have a tendency in the same
direction, and should be sent to play
with merry companions. The cure of
house nerves" is very simple if peo-
pie would only follow it. 1t does not
lie in medicine or doctors hut in visit
ing others, long walks in the open air
and sunshine, repression of every NOR
bid thought as it arises, or expulsion
Of it by thinking of a necessary duty,
and gaiety, r innocent amusements.

Try Them Yourself.
(McCalI's Magazines

Do you want some very good tongue
exercise? You can get it by reading
or attempting to read, rapidly the fol-
lowing sentences. For those who may
have in future life to read or speak in
public, there is more in such exercise
than mere fun:
six little thistle sticks
Flesh of freshly fried fish.
1.-TWO toads, totally tired, tried to trot
to Tedbury.
THE sea ceaseth. but sufficeth us.
Give Grimes Jim's great gilt gig
"strict. strong Stephen stringer
shared Sticky six sickly silky snakes.
"She stood at the door of Mrs. Smith s
fish sauce shop welcoming him in.
Swan swan over the sea; swim
swan, swim; swan swan back again;
well swan swan.
"a haddock, a paddock, a black
spotted haddock, a black spot on the
black back of the black haddock.
Susan Shineth shoes and socks
socks and shoes shineth Susan. She
ceaseth shining shoes and socks, for
socks and shoes shock Susan"
You know the tongue twister Peter
Piper. but there are others which are
harder. One of the worst is, mixed
biscuits" Try saying that rapidly and
if you succeed, say this, stop at the
shop at the top of Sloane street."
Then try saying over and over again,
just as fast as you can, six slender
saplings," and see if your tongue
doesn't get nicely twisted.
Some people contend that it is ex-
tremely difficult to say even such a
simple thing as Troy boat" fast and
many times over without getting the
words mixed

Shun the Tale-Rearer.

The fault-finding woman is ill-bred
and is to be avoided. She is the one
who, while she criticizes her break
fast, eats heartily of it.
She objects to the style in which din
ner is served, especially if she happens
to live at a boarding house.
Then she complains of the attention
paid her bedl DOM.
She is disguised with the general ap-
pearance, and yet she is confidential
with the landlady.
She is usually tale-bearer, and un'
less you wish to be mixed UP in nu-
merous quarrels you had better avoic
her.
Think how pitiful it is to see womer
of the fault-finding type-women wht
are making life misery for everyone
but more particularly for themselves
Ask yourself if you are one of the fault
finding type, and, if so, reform.

Deadly Effects of Fatigue.

Fatigue lowers all the faculties of the
body, writes DR.. Luther H. Gulick in
! Good Housekeeping. The effect on the
other part of a man are just as i'm
portant. 1t puts chasm between see
ing and acting; it makes a break some
how between the messages that come
| in to the brain from the outside world
and the messages that go out. 1t de-
stroys will power. In every direction it
decreases efficiency, forcing the per-
sonality down to a lower level.
Fatigue is a destructive agent like
sickness and dea h. It is a condition
which in the nature of things we can
not avoid; but it is important for us
to know what it means and how to
deal with it if we want TO keep out of
costly plumbers.
When we are tired out we are not
ourselves. A part of us has tenn
porarily gone ont of existence. What
remains is something which belongs to
a more primitive state of civilization.
Our personalities are built up in
strata, one layetr added to another. AT
the bottom lie THE savage virtues and
vices of our remote ancestors. The
code of morals of cliff jewellers and
hunting tribes lstiIl holds there. At
the top lie the higher attainments of
an advanced society-the things that
have taken hundreds of centuries to
acquire. In men patience is one of
these, modesty is another; chastity and
a fine sense of Justice and personal OBJ
legation belong in the list, too.
Now when fatigue begins to attack
the personality. it naturally undermines
these latest strata first. When man
is exhausted, he finds it difficult to be
patient. That is not his fault 1t is
because fatigue has forced him back a
few hundred generations. His self-con-
troll is at a low ebb. The smallest an
noyances are enough to make him lose
his temper.
The same holds true of all the list
of recent charter acquisitions. Many
temptations are more violent and
harder to resist when a man is ia
tigued. His moral sense is dulled. He
loses the vividness of his distinction be-
tween right and wrong, honesty and
dishonesty.

ders and rounded out the hollows.
Bending the knees did away with the
stiffness, and with that the awkward
ness disappeared.
Her face, neck and arms she bathed
in very not water every night rubbed
in a good cold cream and rubbed out
every suggestion of a line or wrinkle.
In the moring she washed her face with
not water, making a lather of soap on
her hands, not touching cloth to her
skin; this was followed by a good dash
ing of clear hot water, and that, in
turn, by a vigorous spatting with the
fingers dipped in cold water.
She practiced smiling to make the
corners of her mouth turn up, and soon
she found the forced smile had be-
come a natural one, that the content
ed spirit within generated by the smil-
ing habit was beginning to show
itself in a happy expression, bright
ened eyes and an utter routing of all
the old lines erstwhile marked her face.

leach Children Economy.

Teach the children not TO waste
trffes, which they often throw away
without thought. and which, if saved,
might be of use to others if not to
themselves. Wrapping paper. pieces of
string. odds end ends ot various kinds,
may do service a second time if put
away until the need for them arises
The habit of economy is one that ought
TO be cultivated, for careful savings
makes lavish giving possible. Hoard
ing is not a vice of childhood, nor
should it be encouraged, but the wise
outstanding Of resources for future eX-
penditure is a valuable lesson that can
not be learned TOO early.

The Plain Girl.

The plain girl was tired to death" OF

she determined to kill the faults OF
plain Mary Brown" First of all she
began some exercises for rounding out
her figure. The one she used most fire.
quently was this:
Stand erect, with the head held east

breath very slowly, lift the arms
shoulder high, at the same time rising
