Finding Fault with Your Children.

Finding Fault with Your Children.
1t Is at times necessary to censure
and punish; but very much more may
be done by encouraging children when
they do well. Be, therefore. more care
full to express your appreciation of good
conduct than your disapprobation OF
bad. Nothing can more discourage
child than a spirit OF incessant fault
finding on the part of its parents, and
hardly anything can exert more injuri-
Gus influence upon the disposition both
of the parent and the child. There are
two great motives influencing human
actions-hope and fear. Both of these
are at times necessary. But who would
not prefer to have her child Influenced
to good conduct by a desire Of pleasing
rather than by the fear of offending?
If mother never expresses her gratlfi-
cation when her children do well, and
Is always censuring them when she
sees anything amiss, they are discour-
aged and unhappy; their dispositions
become hardened and soured by this
ceaseless fretting; and at last, finding
that whether they do well or i'll, they
are equally found fault with, they re-
linquish all efforts to please, and be-
come needless of reproaches.

There is every indication that the
reign Of the elbow sleeve is drawing
to close, the sleeves on the new gowns
are short, but come we'll below the ell
bow, and the close-ftting cuff of tucked
chiffon and lace lengthens them still
more. The fashion has been so exag-
gerated and caricatured that It has en-
tirely lost any smart effect, excepting
In some elaborate gown with which ell
bow sleeves are appropriate. For mid
summer and In the thin fabrics the
fashion will revive to a certain extent,
but fortunately its popularity has prov
ed its own undoing, and ere long it will
be numbered as past fashion"
Each year and each season Of the
year discloses greater freedom of choice
in gowning as compared with former
years and this makes for more artistic
draping Of the human form and more
charming framework in the way of
coiffures and chapeaus for the feminine
face. Time was, and not so very long
since, when every one had to wear i'm
mense sleeves or else be hopelessly old
fashioned in their frOcks, and how hide
Gus these outstanding puffs were! They
suited only the tall and thin, but the
short, stout woman added ten or more
inches to her breadth and deducted an
equal number from her height with
great cheerfulness rather than appear
old-fashioned.

WAY TO CURE A COLD.
Simple Home Remedies Will Often
Break Up the Attack.

Simple Home Remedies Will often
Break Up the Attack.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to catch a cold. One does imprudent
things and next thing finds ones self
in possession Of or rather possessed by
a horrible attack Of grippe.
AS rule the simplest remedies for
a cold are the surest. There is nothing
for carrying off the congestion like a
hot bath, hot drink and a good sweat.
Do this at night.
Another efficacious method Is to snuff
up warm salt water. But one must not
go out right after this or the cold will
be aggravated.
If it is a tight cold in the head rub
the bridge of the nose thoroughly with
vaseline at night. This simple remedy
sometimes works like a charm
1t Is of the utmost Importance during
a cold to keep the system from becom-
ing clogged The old, senseless maxim,
Feed cold and starve fever" is re-
sponsible for many bad compilations
and prolonged colds. The proper meth
cd is to eat very lightly and even par
TALLY fast.
Rub a little camphorated cream on
the chapped lips and hose. If there are
fever sores moisten a little powdered
borax and apply. For the aching limbs
good rubbing with alcohol or spirits
Of camphor is excellent.
If necessary to go out next morning
rub the body vigorously with alcohol
and a Turkish towel before venturing
forth 1t Is Of the utmost Importance
to avoid getting chilled after the hot
bath.
If you will use plenty Of stewed
fruit in your diet, eat fresh figs, drink
hot water on arising and before meals
and take nine or ten glasses of water
during the day you will be taking the
best possible measures to get rid Of a
cold

Hears When He Cares To.

Judge B. J. Caster OF st. Joseph,
who often sits for Judge Wofford in the
criminal court, is wary of jurors who
offer rec Ions for being excused from
the panel. He excuses a juror only
when he has a very good reason.
The other day a juror offered the
excuse that he was hard of hearing.
This is always a good excuse, because
juror must be able to hear all the
testimony.
After a number of question which the
juror asked to be repeated the judge
asked in loud tones:
Gould you not sit in the chair there
nearest to the witness stand and hear
the testimony of the witnesses?'
Sir" the juror said, in weak voice,
his hand to his ear.
The judge repeated the question in a
voice that was almost roar.
mo, SIR the juror replied.
You're excused, then" Judge Cas-
teel said, this time in an ordinary tone
The juror seized his hat and coat
and prepared to leave the courtroom.
You need not CO." the judge said
you could hear very well when I ex-
cused you You will have to serve"-

''Hilda Marsden. She told me you

And so the mystery was explained at

old, old story Of love and jealousy, I
suppose.
Of the thief who stole me nothing
more was ever heard, or of the beauti-

ing guest, for she disappeared the same
night leaving her black silk gown, with

One evening, few days after her
arrival, Joyce and her paying guest
were chatting amicably over their tea
cups when the latter suddenly exclaim-
ed, in the gruff voice l disliked so
much:
What very pretty fan that is, and
how those two emeralds CLEAN in the

Joyce rose from her chair and hand

man cropping his way toward the tea

rested on its tray. He commenced
quickly to transfer the silver pieces into
large canvas bag. Then clutching me
roughly, he thrust me into the dark

thing became blank.

Force TNYO-Cent Fare.

The impotence of the people of the
State for a decision on the 2-cent fare
proposition took concrete form the other
afternoon when Senator Bra zean of
Grand Rapids introduced resolution de-
handing a decision from the railroad COM
mission on the 2-cent fare complaint on or
before Feb. 20. Prior to the introduction
of the measure, copies of a Marshfeld pa
per rebuking the commission for delaying
it's decision had been distributed among
the members. and the impression prevails
that Lieut.. Gov. Conner is going to make
the 2-cent fare one of the features of the
session, whether the commission so desires
OF not. 1t seems certain that there will
be 2cent fare agitation and probably 2
cent fare legislation in Wisconsin before
the lapse of many weeks.

Carnegie's University Next.

Educational papers credit the report
that Andrew Carnegie and his colossal
fortune are behind the announced incor-
poration of the Andrew Carnegie uniyer-
sity at Chicago, which is to be the site of
the new institution. The articles state
the object to be to establish university
for the teaching of medicine, dentistry,
pharmacy, science and arts, law, theology
and all kindred branches of learning, and
that it shall not be conducted for profit.
The report of the Carnegie fund for the
advancement of teaching shows that al
ready 3S9 institutions have applied for a
share of the proceeds, and that of these
iftytwo have been placed on the accept
ed list, having met the conditions in re-
gard to Observation-Disclosures and academ-
ic standards. In the accepted institutions
forty-fve professors have received more
than $4,000, and the widows of some
professors have been assisted. One-half
the accepted colleges are in New Eng
land, New York and Pennsylvania, and,
with one exception, the entire list lies in
the northern belt of States.

The empire modes of to-day are much
prettier in their modified form than
were the original.
For a young girls dance frock moth
ing is prettier than round length skirt
with baby bodice and sash.
Some Of the feathers on extreme hats
not only fall over the brim, but extend
to the shoulder or half way down the
back, they are so long.
Velvet coats come in the most exquis-
ite pastel shades. One blue empire coat
was lined with white satin and had
cuffs of renaissance lace, finished with
RIFLES of Irish lace.
The short bolero with japanese floral
revers is the latest fancy. The little
garment is worn over a chemisette Of
1rousseline de sole of the same hue and
can be taken off at will.
Ii Is marvellous how linen collars
have taken hold of feminine affections.
There is no abatement in the demand
for them, although the designs are
steadily becoming more ornate.
Brown broadcloth coats, lined with
squirrel and finished with collar and
cuffs Of caracul. are good looking and
serviceable. The darker grays are tans,
either fur or satin-lined, are very good
among the moderate priced coats.
Wearing black velvet ribbon around
tie neck with ball gowns is Immensely
fashionable at the present moment. The
velvet is as wide as can be worn COM
fortably and is fastened at the back
with a jeweled bar. In front is a dia-
moEd pin or buckle, diamond slides at
the side or fine specimens Of the Car
tier jewelry may be worn over the vel
vet.
Lace is more fashionable than ever,
and the soft lace ties, bows and jabots
are immensely becoming and extremely
popular. A band Of valenciennes inser-
ton, til a narrow edge to match,
makes a charming tie, the ends finished
with a wide rufIle of the same lace. Va
lenciennes and the fine laces are the
most used for this fashion. Rare old
pieces Of lace are making their appear

Wisconsin
Legislature.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Deluge of New bills.

With an almost superhuman effort the
members of the Legislature introduced all
bills they could think of before adjourn
ment Saturday. raising the number of
measures submitted for consideration far
above that ever introduced at any previ-
Gus session of Wisconsin Legislature.
There is no way of getting at the exact
total because many of them are still in
the process of incubation in Dr. McCar-
thy bill factory" but it is certain that
there will be over 100 in both houses.
The total number at the close of new
business two years ago was 1,161, which
broke the record up to then. There are
1918 bills in the hands of the two chief
clerks, and about 200 in the hands of the
two revision committees and a large num-
Der in the hands of DR.. Mccarthy. Only
little over twice as many bills were
introduced in the Assembly as in the Sen
ate, although there are three times as
many members.

To Keep Her Youth.

She eats three regular meals day.
She doesn't waste her vitality in talk
ing nonsense.
She is careful to keep as much in the
open air as possible.
She walks every time possible, that
is, if the distance is short.
She sleeps eight hours at the least,
and as often as possible two of them
before midnight
She never lets the past worry her.
1t is gone and she endeavors to make
the future as pleasant as possible.
She manages to take rest every day,
IN the afternoon If possible, which rests
her nerves and keeps her cheerful.
She is neither self-centered nor fam
ily-centered, and has a few fresh out
side interests which keep her alive to
the goings-on of the world.
