The seamstress, passing her needle
through and through the fabric on
her lap, said:
81 love to sew white. Hove to
sew green, too. Pinks are easy. So
are most of the clear, pale tints.
But black! But red! But shep-
herds plaid.'
She threw back her head in
horror
Bright red, when you sew it, in
flames your vision; it Anglers you;
it makes you nervous.
BLACK strains the eyes out OF
your head; the stitches In it are SO
hard to see. Black is a depressing
color, too.
but worst of all is that combina-
ton of black and white called shep-
herds plaid. Work on shepherds
plaid an hour or two and the black
and white squares will dance under
your eyes like living things.
Polka dots dance, too" she end
ed. They polka. Hence the name. y

TrHERE are a host of petty ailments
which are the direct result of the
weather.
This is more true of the excessive heat
of summer and the intense cold OF win.
ter, but is partly true OF all seasons Of
the year.
Whether it be cold or cough, catarrh
of the head or bowel complaint, whether
the liver be affected or the kidneys, the
cause is very liable to be the same.
The weather slightly deranges the m'l'
cous membranes of the organs and the re-
suit is some functional disease.

thousands of homes for minor ait

cts funny, but it's true" sighed
the gray-haired man, that most all
the blushing that is done In New
York nowadays is done by men.
Novelists ought to make note OF
that. If they want to be strictly ac-
curate in their attempts to portray
contemporaneous New York life they
must cut out that old-fashioned
phrase He blushed like girl That
doesn't mean anything now. Girls
don't blush any more; that is New
York girls don't. Not for an age
have I seen a feminine face suffused
with the flush romantic. But I've
seen men blush, lots Of 'em. 1t be-
hoves authors to bear that physiolo-
gical change in mind and whenever
they write about G. B. S. epigram
or anything else that proves little
too strong for feminine sensibilities
they will have to describe its effect
on the abashed auditor by saying,

Boiling Blood Miracle.

The faith of the Neapolitans has,
according to the Berliner Tageblatt,
received a violent shock. At the
Liceo Moderno, in Naples, Professor
Arnaldo initiated, before an audience
of professors and students, the
famous miracle of Saint Januarius,
whose blood, preserved at the ca
thedral, is said to boil twice a year.
The Professor employed for the ex-
oeriment the same counter, the same
flask and the same number of can
dies as in the cathedral, and with
out the prayers of the clergy the
miracle" was duplicated.

A THRILLING SPIDER STORY.

There is, according to an explorer.
a large and fierce South American
spider which chases men If they come
too near it's lurking places. On on1
occasion he was pursued by one.
Riding at an easy trot over the dry
grass" he writes, Il observed a
spider pursuing me, leaping swiftly
along and keeping up with my beast.
I aimed a. blow with my whip and tho
point of the lash struck the ground
close to it, when it instantly leapec
upon and ran up the lash and was ac-
tually within three or four inches Of

We Believe
That home-making should be re-

That right living should be the
fourth "R" in education.
That health is more the business
of the individual than Of the physi-
clan.
That on the home foundation Is
built all that is good in state or indi.
vidual.
That most illness results from care

Kindness, justice and mercy

1t ought to be committed to mem
DRY by every boy and girl, man

words ought to be hung on the
walls of every home and bronzed
on the sides of every school house.
They ought to be hung in every

set up in conspicuous places on
the stress of every town and city

them inculcate the sentiment of

Farmers coming in from the
surrounding country inform us
that the roads in and near this
place are worse than at any other
point on the prairie. It would
seem to us that the town council
or street commissioner or some
one with authority would see to
having the worst places fixed up
SO that people could get to town
to trade without danger of break
ing their necks or smashing their
rigs all to peices. We know of
several bad places inside the in
corporation that could be drained
with but little work and be made
much safer to travel over. If
the town has supervision over our
roads and streets why not have
them attended to. If the roads
are left in their present shape
much longer many of our farmer
customers will go to other points
to do their trading. Outside of
town the roads should be looked
after by the different road over
seers and repaired temporarily
wherever dangerous.
