Give Girls a Chance.

Comparatively few girls do not wish to
try homework, and many girls never get
an opportunity for learning how to work
or how to cook, simply BECAUSE they are
not given the opportunity, since it is
thought they may not properly do the
work, or else waste god material i'll max
ing dishes which no one could possibly
eat. 1t was wise old father who said
to his daughter: Learn how to make
bread out of my flour barrel. and if ever
you have home of your own you will
know how to save what is in yours"
Cooking comes naturally to most women.
but the best results are never reached un-
til one has made many experiments Fin
ally it dawns upon the girl that such and
such a thing was not right. that some
thing would improve the work, so grad
ually she learns the art of perfection.
One woman said she certainly intended
her daughters to know how to cook sew
and keep house, for, when she started out
IN married life, all she could cook was
cream puffs and cocoa; that she could
not sew button on a garment and had
absolutely no idea how to properly sweep
a room.
Give the girl a chance. True. eggs are
expensive. the price of meat has gone up,
flour is listed among the expensive, gro
ceres and butter increases in price: but
give the girl a chance. She may save
you many dollars some time when her
services in the home-when no one else
was there to do the work-would be of
greatest help.

Lovers invariably discern far more in
their beloved than meets the eve and
therefore, although such remarks are ut
tered in the light of disparagement or
criticism, in reality they merely betrax
the fact that the diSinterested observer
cannot see what the lover sees. No; the
lover sees something mora and beyond

of feeling.

The most expensive linen and the hand
soonest embroidered dJilies and center
pieces often are ruined by careless wash
ing. Have a laundry bag hung in con
Venleut place, and as fast as the Sniled
llnen accumulateS place the pieces in it.
for it is not pleasant to think of their
being put in with the soiled clothing.
Prepare suds of soft, warm water and
white soap. Wash through this. rubbing
lightly between the hands. If the linen

clear, fukewarm water. then dip in

has been added, and dry in the shade.
Nothing cleanses the linen so nicely with
out injuring the delicate colors as wash
ing this way.
TO remove fruit stains dampcn the
spots. rub soap on both sides. then apply
starch made into a paste with cold water.
Rub the starch into the stains and hang
the cloth in the sunshine several hours.
After the cloth is washed in the usual
manner the stains will disappear. In this
age of pretty things for the home there is
nothing in which the good housekecper
takes more pride than her table linen.
Be sure to get a goOdly quality of dam
ask for tableclOths, for it will last a long
time and be more economical in the end
than a coarse, cheap piece. When tiny
breaks occur draw out the threads from
a piece of new linen. thread needle
with ore of these threads, and darn the
place carefully. 1t is better to do this
before the tabiecioth is laundered. as the
washing is likely to fray the edges and
make the place larger. \ ragged tear

linen under it and darning it down.

Why It's Wise for oppOsites to Marry.

One of the old-fashioned sayings oft
repeated is that opposite ~s4ged mar
ry." For happiness it is argued grave
should mate with gay. dark with fair
tall with short; for it is universally ac-
knowIedged that coloring and appearance
generally may be taken as an index to
character and temperament. This being
so. persons who mate with contrasts
have perhaps more chance of living hap
ply with them than with others who
more closely resemble themselves i'll ma
ture.
If variety is truly the food Of love.
there must be something mOnotonous
about black eyes gazing INTO black, and
blue eyes sending passionate glances into
azure orbs. And when it comes 70 ca
resses. what charm is there 10, a dark
haired. sentimental Juliet in ruttilng the
locks of an equally raven locked and
sentimental Romeo? No, in nine cases
ont of ten she will prefer the aery tenn

while Romeo. for his part, would be all
The better for a shaking up from more
matter-of-fact damsel.
1t seems as if it is in the very order
of things to admire most what Is lack
ing in oneself, and this is really what d
true marriage should consist in. the find
ing of ones other half, the complement
10 oneself Thus some Of the happiest
marriages are made between two people
very dissimilaF. each supplying what the
other needs and cementing the bond OF
mutuaf~~+traction into love.

Cleaning Sewing Machine.

1t is impossible to do beautiful ma
chine work when a machine is clOgged
with dirt and grease. A great deal Of
art can be removed from parts of the
machinery with the use Of a bicycle
pump which forces out fine particles of
aust and lint. Coal oil is the best for
cleaning grease from the metal, after
which the pieces should be wiped with
dry cloth and given thorough clean
ing with gasoline. 1t is seldom neces-
Sary to add the regular machine oil for
some time after this treatment. Take
Out the needle, examine to see if it is
rough or has broken point. Often a
punt needle end can be sharpened by
uoIuing 1t against the rapidly
upper wheel which smooths the rough
point. The lower part of the machine
needs attention, as it retains n great
9eal Of dust, which makes the machine
uncut to operate.
one frequently reads of using paper

Ecu inns means have almost ruined the

PASSING OF THE CHIHUAHUA DOG.
Little Mexican Hairless Pets Rapidly

The chihuahua dog, which as late as
twenty five years ago was commonly to

The little animals are peculiarly de-
structivc. and are constantly scratching
at things with their long claws. They
are easily tanned il taken young, and in
numerous instances the breed has been
domesticatcd, although they seldom show
the usual dog traits of saguciUus and

The Duty of Happiness.

cannot but think that the world
would be better and brighter if our teach
ers would dwell on the duty of happiness
rs well as on the happiness of duty, for
we ought to he as cheerful as we can, if
only because to be happy ourselves is a
most effectual contribution to the happi-
ness of others. Every one must have
felt ;hatta friend is like a, sunny day,
which sheds its brightness on all around.
and most of us can, as we choose, make
of this world either a palace or prison.
There is no doubt some selfish satisfac-
ton in yielding to melancholy: in brood
Ing oveK grievances, especially if more or
less imaginary; in fancying that we are
victims of fate. To be bright and cheer
full often requires an effort; there is Il
certain art in keeping ourselves happy
III this respect, as in others, we require
to watch over and maliage ourselves al
most as if we were somebody else.-Lord
