Did you ever know Il woman to re-
greet that she knew how to do cxquis-
itely fine needle work or plain sew
ing, TO bake light, wholesome bread,
or delicious cake? Did you ever know
one who was ashamed of her skill in
picking and preserving, or who was
unwilling TO admit that she could ar
range a table, order a course dinner,
aud if need be, do the cooking her
self? No, indeed, but many women
spend years in trying to acquire the
knowledge of household affairs of
which she should have been mistress
before she was fairly in long dresses.
The mother who fails to instruct her
daughter in such branches defrauds
her of woman.s best right, the right
to a knowledge of how to make a
home Perhaps only a home for her
self, but oh, how pretty and pleasant
it can be if the tact, the skill, the
grace of a trained hand and eye and
taste are there to bring it into per
feet symmetry
Woman, can t you see? You caught
your husband with honey and you
cannot bold him with vinegar. The
outside of the house is the only side
which in truth belongs to henpecked
husband They take to the outside
SO speedily when there is unpleasant
ness within, that any woman with
only little thot and observation
NAV know what will come of trying
to train husband as she would a frac-
ti0us school boy What ever he may
be, for the home sake. she is Obliged
to keep sweet. We have seen wo-
men who appearantly enjoyed scold-
ing their husbands in the presence
others, and we have seen mothers
who indiscrcetly punish their chill
dren before visitors, thus humiliating
the dear hayward ones and making
them feel that their regulations were
so damaged that there Was no use in
trying to be good. But such women
are not the mistresses Of their homes
where the household machinery gil
DIES on with noiseless ease, without
force or effect seeming to be required
to move it along. They cannot Gre
ate the sunny, cheerful firesidcs that
men love better than all the world
beside, aud the memory of which
children tenderiy cling to as long as
life lasts.

quarry at Courtney, Mo. whcra the
night before 500 pounds of his materl

This is the dangerous part of the

We heard one of our young men
making sport of religion in front OF
our office the other day. His nous
tach had just began to sprout and
Judging from his talk his mental fa-
culties were not as well developed as
moustache. During our brief stay
upon earth we have seen many just
such young men cold in death We
have seen the atheist at rest in his
casket, but before being consigned TO
their last resting place they have all
been carried through the doors of a
church and bad prayers said over
them. This young man could scott
at religion in his strength and beauty
of health, but if the dark angel should
get after him he would inStinctively
regret what he said and look into
the future with fear and trembling
When one stands before the open
door OF eternity his desire to Sco1 at
religion vanishes. We admit there
are bad men in the church, but even
these black sheep in the flock might
be blacker ii they we're outside No
young man, or old one either, should
condemn the noble efforts the ar
my of Christian men and women are
making towards lettering the con
dt;on of things, and whether we at
tend church or not but few of us
would desire to live in a community
where there was no church. Young
man, in the future. if you must scott
at religion, please get little further
from our Office if you do not want to
see YOUR name in print.

Our Girls With Voices

Numerous ambitious girls through

chilled and thrilled by an article on
studying singing in New York which
appears in the May number of the
New Idea Woman S Magazine. The
writer plainly states that iii the ar
tistic metropolis of our country the
profession of voice teacher is be
set by constituencies mountebanks, -
quotes the opinion or director Hen
richs of the Mttropoli an School of
Opera that 'ex-stars make the poor
est teacher. They have a natural
gift of song. They don't know how they
sing; having no method, how can they
teach one? and affirms that to get
really to the top of the singing word
"a European debut is essential. All
this is disheartening to the girl with
a voice to train, but there is another
side to the story This tells Of a
school opera in Connection with the
leading New York opera house itself,
the pupils of which are given admis-
sicn to all the operas, the promising
ones even being allowed to tread
the boards, as members of the Choir

even in small parts. Note is made

This piece of pertinent today phil

the Home Herald nee Rams Horn:
"TheWorld is asking the pulpit and
the pew today for the real thing The
magazines can furnish dispositions
and socialism can preach doctrines,
but the church has the peculiar re
sponsibility Of Interpreting grace and
turning sinners. When she ceases
to fulfill this duty in the community,
she is somehow corroded with sin.
God never planted a church in the
world in which he did not expect to
demonstrate His own power, aad if
the activities of the church are tor

Successful Chiropractor Gives
Some Views on How to
Gain Health.
Discusses Nervous Diseases
and His Method of Curing.
Skeptics Solicited.

DR.. A. Graham, who recently opened
Offices in the Burrows building, for
the chiropractic treatment of men and
women is regarded as one Of the best
authorities of this theory in the coun-
try. In an interview with the Labor
World, relative to his method Of treat
ment, he says:
Disease Of every character, except
that which may be induced by poison
or by accident to body or limb, orig
mates in a. arrangement of the spinal
nerves. The nervous organism is the
life force Of the human being, and
as the spinal cord is the center Of the
nervous system, here We find the cause
of disease. The spinal column is COM
posed Of twenty-four movable verte-
brae, a slight dislocation of one, or
more Of these vertebrae will cause
pressure on the nerves as they proceed
from the spinal cord. -r..< = =
"Chiropractic adjustment, scientif-
ically applied, removes the pressure
from pinched nerves, and nature cures
the disease, If you are sick, you have
luxated vertebrae that cause your con-
dition. Does this not explain to you
some of the uncertainties Of medicine?
Is it not a good reason to your mind
why other kinds OF treatments may
