The Morkinn Girl.

The life of the working girl seems
ever to hold interest. 1t is not life
of unalloyed bliss-far from it; but in
spite of the many trials and hardships
that accompany it, it is the life that
is most interesting and NEST human.
The working girl is sometimes a he
roine, sometimes a saint, sometimes a
weak, vacillating cres ture, sometimes
an idler.
At best her joys are few; but in her
trials and trolbles there is the human
note that appeals so strongly to the
sympathetic.
Yet the werk girl seldom asks for
synpathy-her life is one of bravery
and self-denial.

Only a Little While.

only a little while we travel life's
weary way,
Only little while we look on the light
Of day.
Only little while we live, and love,
and hate.
Only little while we want, and wish,
and wait
only a little while we work at our daily
tasks,
only little while we wearsour usual
masks.
Only little while we trouble or please
our friends,
Only little while we seek our selfish
ends
Only little while we buffet against
the gale,
Only a little while Ne worry and fuss.

Only little while we grumble at what
we get.
Only little while we join in the great

Only little while we share in the joys
Of life.
Only a little while we put up our daily
bluff.
Only little while-but isn't it long
enough?

Why We Get INDIGESTION.

Recently a medical man gave it as
his opinion that the oven was respon-
sible for more dyspepsia than any
other household contrivance. The mod
ern cook finds it much easier to bake
than to roast. The spit dog has al
most gone out of existence, and there
is seldom any one in the kitchen to
take its place. 1t follows very rea-
sonably that any food cooked within
confined space will not be so digesti-
BILE as that done before an open fire,
where all gases have freedom to
escape

Fresh AIr.

The day when three or four curtains
were thought essential to shut out the
light and air has passed. We should
have as much fresh air and sunshine
as Is possible in our rooms. 1t is bet
ter to have faded carpets than the
musty, unhealthy smell. such as we find
IN rooms seldom used. So far as bed
rooms are concerned, the secret of a
pretty room lies in the airiness and
fghtness of the furnishings. Avoid
heavy draperies and bed hangings.

Care of the Hands.

Save the fingers where it is possible.
After having the hands in hot water
hold them under cold water until the
pores are closed. If this does not have
the desired effect use an astringent
cream. a little vinegar will close the
pores, but will roughen the hands If
1t is necessary to- go into dirty work
after having the hands in soapsuds,
put on old kid gloves. The only way
to have good looking hands is to keep
them clean, and they never take dirt
more easily and hold it more stubborn
ly than after being in water.

NAIIONALIzE MINES.
BRITISH UNION SAYS

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The nationaIizat ion
Of mines is the latest Socialist proposal.
which has been affirmed in principle
by the Miners Federation at their con-
ference at Southport.
The proposal was made by John Wads-
worth. NJ r, whc pointed out how the
workers were robbed under the present
system Of private ownership. In the
coal boom OF 1900. he said the output OF
British coal realized $500 OOc more than
the previous year, and OF that huge sum
the workers got only 81, 800, 600. while
the cCal owners and niddlemen pockcled
the rest. The TIse IN wages did uOs
amount to more than 80 cents per ton,
and anything above that went into the
pockets Of the coal owners and the mid
dlemen.

beyond the academic stage, but the pro-
posal IS significant Of how Socialism IS
