Have you ever been in such a pc
culiar mood that the moment you tried
to answer some question put to you,
cross answer came and the same feeling
telegraphed to the other person? Well,
that is inhuence-we know this, do we
not? We know too that oft times no
word is spoken, that this good or evil
influence is felt just the same way. AS
Francis Havergal says, disappointment,
ailment or even weather depresses us,
and our look or tone Of depression
binders others from maintaining a
cheerful and thankful spirit. We say an
unkind thing, and another is hindered
in learning the lesson OF charity that
thinketh no evil. We say a provoking
thing, and Our sister or brother is him
dered in that days effort to be meek.
How sadly, too, we may hinder with
out word or act! For wrong feeling is
more infectious than wrong doing
especially the various phases of ill
temper gloominess, loneliness, dlscon-
tent, irritability Do we not know how
catching these are? Let us guard Our
influence better this year.

The Trained Nurse.

There are few positions open to wo-
men where the compensation is more
liberal than in that of the trained nurse,
but it is only among well-to-do people
where the twenty to twenty-five dollars
per week salary can be given for such
purpose. Under ordinary circum-
stances, the invalid must get along in
the best possible way, and unquestion-
ably has a good deal to put up with
from awkward hands and laundering
heads.
A great deal is said about teaching
children to be useful, and very much
has been accomplished in this direction,
but as far as heard from there has new

Make the Home Pleasant.

This is one of the first principles to
be used in making Our home agreeable,
and sought after. AS some one
has wisely said, don't be afraid of
little fun at home, good people.
Don't shut up your house lest the sun
should fade your carpets, and your
heart, lest hearty laugh should shake
some Of the musty old cobwebs there.
If you want to ruin your sons, let them
think that all mirth and social enjoy
nlent must be left on the threshold
without when they come home at night
When once a home is regarded as only
a place to eat and drink, and sleep in,
the works begins that ends in gambling
and reckless dissipation. Young people
must have fun and relaxation some
where; if they do not find it at their
own hearthstones, it will be sought at
other and less profitable places. There
fore make the homestead delightful
with all those little arts that parents so
perfectly understand. Don't repress
the buoyant spirits Of your children;
half an hour Of merriment round the
lamp Of home blots out the remem-
brance Of many care and annoyance
during the day, and the best safeguard
they can take with them into the world
is the unseen influences Of bright little
domestic sanctum.

The Study Of Housekeeping.

In an recent talk on the twentieth
Century Housekeeper, says The Met
ropolis, Prof. Helen Kline, director Of
the department of domestic science at
the Teachers College, Columbia Uni
versity, said among other things:
'The good housekeeper has always
been an important social factor Soc
rates found in the business Of house
keeping food for thought. What now
needs TO be said?
sour interest is due to the fact that
conditions of life are so changed that
new methods are necessary. The mo-
dern housekeeper must emulate her
ancestors in their spirit rather than in
the material means employed by them.
Never before has wise expenditure been
so difficult.
''First is necessary for success be-
lief in her work as a profession say
even a career. Next the power Of
balancing her values; that is, getting
the full value Of everything involved
is her aim, home where each indlvl-
dual may work her highest efficiency so
far as that is dependent on the home;
or a center merely for her own social
ambitions Next the adoption of bust
ness methods as exact in their way as
those used by her husband in his work,
as, for instance, the budgets, accounts,
inventories, studying the market, her
self her own marketer and shopper, or,
in lieu Of that, a trained deputy
the telephone or the maid as the chief
dependence How will she solve the
problem Of labor in the HOUSEHOLD? Who
can say? Efficiency on her own part in
all practical matters, common sense,
patience and justice, will bring some
solution Of her own immediate problem.
But, in addition to this, she should
take an active interest in any scheme Or
society where an attempt is made to
bring some order out Of the present
chaos.
Indeed, the modern housekeeper
needs to develop a social conscience
For, while prudence dictates buying in
the cheapest market, one must pause to
question the reason for the cheapness
Is it child labor, the sweat shop, con-
ditions unfair or degrading to the work
er?
Last Of all-or through all-is the
question Of the health of the house

for efficiency. System will minimize

weeping and a general family conc1ave
on the situation. It struck this sensible
mother that there was a good chance
for an object lesson, so she taught the
little ones the main points OF nursing,
and gave them many useful ideas that
were Of great service to them later in
life.
1t is all very we'll to say that nursing
is an art, and that people have genius
for it. and all that sort OF thing; but it
is always the case that intelligent
thoughtfulness avails to make the pa
t1ent approximately comfortable, or at
least as much so as the nature of the
disease permits.
1t is of the utmost Importance to

We read so much of housekeeping
that often we wonder if the subject is
not discussed too much, until Our wo-
men pay no attention to the many
splendid helps that are intended for
their aid and improvement
Then again, when we enter many Of
the America homes, and see so much
carelessness exhibited in the caring Of
the home, we ask the question "why is
it thus?'
A splendid little sermonette on the
Study Of Housekeeping, is furnished
our readers for this week. Be sure
and read it. It comes from one Of

Waste in Mining.

The waste in metal mining and treat
ment of gold, silver, copper. lead, zinc,
iron and other metallic substances under
oldtime practices was frequently as high
as from 20 to 80 per cent, but the modern
mining, milling and smelling processes
have of late been developed along the
lines of increased efficiency. Under these
more modern practices waste is now being
reduced to from 8 to usually less than %
per cent. Modern chemistry and metal
lurgy Is also developing processes for the
treatment of low grade ores, which form
erly left in the mines or on the dump, or
were used In the construction of walls or
public roads. just as they have developed
processes for the profitable retreatment of
the enormous piles of tailings (refuse) ac-
cumulated under the cruder methods of
treatment practiced only a few years since.
these metaliferous ores there Is still op-
portunity for decided improvement along
these lines.
I'm the mining and utilization of miscel-
laneous minerals. existing practice is a
great improvement over that of the recent
past. and the future is full of promise.
Thus in the utilization of the mica deposits
formerly only cut sizes of mica were used,
now the smaller scales are being collected,
ground and used for a number OF purposes.
The former waste in the quarry Is now
being largely used for matchmaking pub
lie highways, for mixing with cement and
Saho IN the cohstruction OF concrete Dulld-
ings, or for use In variety OF other ways
The waste piles about some Of the coal
mines and other mines Of the past are
being taken back into the mines and new
waste materials are being retained In the
mines for the building Of supporting pill
lars, and In filing space otherwise left
open through the extraction Of the mineral
deposits thus greatly diminishing the need
for timber and permitting a much larger
extraction Of valuable material from the
mines.

WASTE OF THE NATIONS
GREAT NATURAL RESOURCES

garded, like the water and forests, as
public utilities. They furnish our heat,
light and power; they serve as the basis
therefore absolutely necessary to the well
fare of the nation. But notwithstanding
thei1 vast Importance 1t is in the mining
and utilization of these fuel resources that
we practice the greatest waste.
Persons now living can recall when the
great gas wells were seemingly inexhausti-
bic in Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and
pennsylvania. In many of these fields this
gas supply was wasted in a manner we'll
nigh criminal, and the exhaustion has been
so complete that there is no ground for be-
lieving that other supplies of gas will be
discovered in many of these special regions
Petroleum in the past has, in like man
ner, been wasted, both in enormous over
flows and the burning OF material. In the
early days of petroleum there was also an
enormous waste through the failure to save
the gasoline and other b-products, which
now nave great value. Here however, as
In the case of the met Is, the modern i'm
proved practice is doing much to lessen
THIS enormous waste. This problem is one of
special Importance to the Pacific coast
states, owing to the absence of adequate
coal supplies
Coal is now the worlds great fuel. Wood

Possible Substitutes.

LAS to possible substitutes for coal there
will be in the near future a larger use of
running waters for power and light de-
velopment. There will also continue a d.
minshing development Of heat and power
through the use of wood. In the New
England, Atlantic and some of the middle
northern states there will be some utiliza-
ton of the peat beds for similar PURPOSES
A limited future use of alcohol made from
wood and barn products for heat and power
purposes is probable, but not certain. Pc
troleum and natural gas will long continue
as large local but in a measure temnorarv
contributors to the comforts and Industries
of the nation. And 1t is occasionally sug-
gested that the heat of the sun NAV he
stored from day to day in sufficient u,Ian-
tity for continuous power development: but
the suggestion has, as yet too indefinite
basis to permit of its serious considera-
ton in the present connection. Indeed the
sum of all these possible substitutes In the
nations supply of heat and power and light
can not now be expected to seriously lessen
the rate Of increase in the nations enor-
nous demand for fuel and we must revert
again with renewed emphasis to the neces-
sty of lessening the waste and tncreas sing
efficiencies in the utilization of orr coal
supply.
These fuel resources should be CON
served, because their supply Is limited. At
the present their early exhaustion Is cer-
tain. If this rate of increase continues the
better part of the fuel supply of the coun-
try will have been consumed by the END
a the preSent century
