The Fresh Air Cure.

1t is a great pity that more women
don't know about the tranquiliZing eff
fects of simply getting out of doors.
They allow themselves to grow unliva-
BILE, with nerves strung to the breaking
point, voices rasped; they grow utter
ly miserable and make everybody else
anxious to keep out of their way. Then
they spend their money on sedative
pills and patent medicines. And all
the while, nine cases out of ten, the
cure is Just outside their own doors.
An hour or two digging in the back
yard garden while the sun shines on it,
a long walk through the fields if you
live near them, will drive away the low
est spirits. Even trolley ride, provid-
ed the car isn't crowded and you go out
to the suburbs and not through the
shopping districts, is better than stay
ing in the house and dosing yourself
with headache powders. A back porch
or a convenient doorstep where you
may pare the vegetables, wash the
clothes, and do a dozen other house
hold tasks, is great promoter of
health. If going out for two hours is
simply out of the question, go for half
an houl. Failing that, there is one
thing you can do, you can step outside
the door and take long deep inhala-
lions of fresh air. Do it four or five
or ten times during the day. 1t won't
take more than three minutes at most,
and persisted in 1t will work wonders,
not only with your health but with
your appearance

DAUGHTERS OF MARTHA.

When the day shall come that the COD
man stands
once more on the peoDled earth,
And talks, as once in Eastern lands.

Once more will he meet the sisters

Whom he in Bethany saw;
once more TO that eternal pair
Will he declare the law.
To Martha. daughter Of toll and care.

While Mary will win her easy share
Of praise by adoring look.
But the Martha Of that latter day

Than that which said her feeble saw
When she and the world were young.
For Martha win straighten her weary
back
Before the man God there.
And show him what the world would
Without her scorned care.
in the house of birth, in the house of
death,
My service is always given,
And in every hour, until the breath
Is from my body riven.

But join in no glad refrain.

But little We think as we eat the bread

And toll with the daughters Of grief.

Something Better Than Success.

(From Putnam's Magazine.)
A sagacious, shrewd, acute man OF
the world is sometimes a mere NUS
ance; he has made his prosperous cor
ner at the expense of others, and he
mas only contrived to accumulate, be-
hind little fence of his own, what was
meant to be the property of all. l have
known a good many successful men,
and l cannot honestly say that / think
that they are generally the better for
their success. They have often learned
self-conf1dence, the shadow Of which is
good-natured contempt for ineffect-
i've people: the shadow, on the other
hand, which falls on the commemorative
man is an undue confidence an indo-
lent depression, a tendency to think
that it does not very much matter
what any one does.
But, on the other hand, the contem-
plative man sometimes does grasp one
very important fact-that we are sent
into the world, most of us, to learn
something about God and uorselves
whereas If we spend our lives in di-
Tecting ard commanding and consult
ing others, we get so swollen q sense of
our own Importance, our own adroit-
ness, our own effectiveness, that we
Forget that we are tolerated rather
than needed. 1t is better, on the whole,
10 tarry the Lords leisure than to try
impaUiently to force the hand of God
and to make amends for his apparent
slOthfulness. What really makes ma
ton grow, and improve, and progress
is not social legislation and organiza-
ton. That is only the sign of the rising
moral temperature; and a man who
sets an example of soberness. and kind
liness and contentment is better than
q pragmatical district visitor with a
taste for rating meek persons.

PIE

Why is it no one ever tries
To learn who twas invented pies
What woman, beautiful and just
First rolled, and pinched, and cut the
crust,
And to alleviate distress,
Filled it with pungent happiness
First, there is juicy apple pie
For this did Father Adam sign
1t was no apple red and sweet,
That led astray his hating feet
1t must have been an apple pie
That doomed before his longing eye
Such pie-such apple pie, forsooth'
A pie with prinked and crumbled edge,
Each slice of which would make a
wedge
To fetch Gsles good intent apart
From any clutch on mind or heart
1t is no wonder, after all,
That Adam was inclined to fall.
Then. there are chicken pie and lamb,
And oysters, mutton, veal and ham,
And currant and gooseberry pie,
Blackberry, prune and cherry pie
Peach, plum and sweet potato pie
Say, ever eat tomato pie?
Tomato pie, almost unknown,
Yet deserves a pastry throne,
For when 1t gloWs arlght we see
The purple robe of royalty;
And oh, the taste and tang Of it
When by hungry human bit!
Such stuff as dreams; aye, dreams
like these;
That comets are the bits of cheese
And all the planets in the sky,
And little stars are luscious pie!
Our hearts in gladness to immense
By eating through the universe!
Oh, one should never criticise
The sober souls who scott at pies,
Whose views of pies are dark and grim,
For they leave so much pie for him!
Come build a tablet, set it high:
ITO Him or Her Who First Made Pie"
Oh, pie Oh. my!

Patriotism of Children.

At the closing session of the con-
vention of the National Education as
ISOLATION at Los Angeles, Cal, reso-
luton was adopted to the effect that
American children show a tendency
toward disregard for constituted au-
thority, a lack of respect for age and
superior wisdom weak appreciation
of the demands of duty, and a DISPOSE
ton to follow pleasure and interest
rather than obligation and order. Con-
ditions are about as described and they
demand thought and action. Men do
not agree as to the reason for the con-
dition; some say it is due to the re-
moval of the wholesome restraint of
former times, and some that it is a
natural reaction from that restraint.
There probably is truth in both opin-
ions, and the subject should receive
the earnest thoughts of those who
have at heart the best interests of all.

The Power of Pleasing.

Nothing is simpler or easier than the
power of pleasing. 1t does not require
any peculiar talents or any superhuman
effort. 1t is not confined to any condi-
ton of life; nor is it dependent on any
surrounding circumstances. All 1t de-
mands is the presence of a sympathetic
spirit a willingness to be pleased, a de-
sire to see the bright side of things,
and to discover the best points in peo-
pie, frankness and Openness of dispo-
sition, readiness to leave self and 9TH
er diverting objects and to enter heart
lily into subjects more acceptable. Who
ever will cultivate these qualities and
habits Of mind will find a new life
opening UP within her-a life that will
be fuller and richer in its own happi-
ness because it will be constantly in
creasing that of her friends and ac-
QuaintanceS.

French Women Emancipated.
New York Herald. J

NNeW 1OTh f1eTdlu-
Two laws relating to the feminine
movements have been promulgated
One authorizes divorced women to con-
tract a new marriage within a few
months after divorce is pronounced
The other, which was before parlia-
ment thirteen years, grants married
women the right to dispose of their
earnings, over which hitherto their
husbands possessed complete control
Wives can now acquire property indie
pendently with their wages, but must
contribute their share toward the
household expenses. If, however, a
woman squanders her money her hus-
band can obtain an order from the
courts Withdrawing her right to ex-
pend her earnings
A woman's separate property may
be seized by creditors for debts con-
tracted by the husband for the house

How Strawberries Were Named.

Many persons have wondered how
strawberries got their name. They have
been so called by anglo-Saxon people
for hundreds of years. but no CORES
ponding name for them appears in
other languages On the contrary. their
fragrance mainly is set form in the
names by which they are called in non
English speaking lands. The old An
glo-SaXon form was 'streawberige. -
1t seems probable that the straw is
the long stem of the vine, which runs
along the ground. Some have thought,
however, that in ancient times the
AngloSaxon berry hunters brought the
berries home or sent them to market
upon straws. The explanation that the
word is a corruption of ''strayberry,"
due to the running habit of strawberry
vines is believed to be erroneous.

Accidents on Marshins.

Occasional accidents are as much to
be looked for on a warship as in an
industrial plant If the officers and
crew are to be fit for service in time
of war they must practice with the
big guns. They must engage in work
where momentary carelessness and the
neglect of some seemingly trivial pre-
caution may mean sudden death or
permanent disablement. On battle
ship as in an iron or a powder mill
eternal vigilance is the price of safety,
and in spite of the utmost vigilance
deplorable casualties may happen

The lot of the average woman of
society is ont easy, and particularly
has this beer true of Washington in
recent years. 1t has been said that
Mrs. Roosevelt works more hours
every day than her husband and that
the demands of her position are even
more wearing than those of the presi-
dents. Other Washington women are
almost as hard working. Mrs. Taft
the other day put the case thus: My
servants have their afternoons and
evenings off regularly every week.
but there is not day in which / can
have an hour can honestly call my
own"
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth so far has
refused to be hampered by the So
cial rules, which year after year are
becoming more rigorous in Washing
ton. But 1t is said there are indi-
cations of displeasure with her lei
surely ways, and that there will be a
demand upon her for more activity
next season.

The Useful Lemon.

A lemon or two should be kept on
every washstand. Nothing is better
for the ;oilet than the juice of this
fruit. 1t is refreshing to the taste,
and it is cleansing to the skin. A few
drops squeezed into the water with
which the teeth are cleaned not only
will aid in keeping the tartar away
from them, but it will also make the
breath sweet and pure.
Lemon juice rubbed on the face aids
in keeping the skin soft and fresh. If
persistently used it will remove freck-
les. and when applied to the hands it
will whiten them.
An excellent thing for the nails is to
cut lemon in half and dig the fin
gers vigorously into the pulp. This is
a far better way of removing stains
than by too hard rubbing or scrubbing
with brush which Injuries the nails.

Bad soap will injure the skin, so will
poor cosmetics. The nightly applica-
ton of some pure, soothing cosmetic
to overcome the wear and tear of the
weather is absolutely necessary.
A little camphor applied to wet
cloth will whiten the skin, but it
should be used sparingly, with cream
afterward.
A few drops put into lukewarm
water and applied with a sponge after
one has come in from an outdoor trip
is extremely refreshing.

KISS Them GOODNIGHT.

The tales are told, the songs are sung,
The evening romp is over,
And up the nursery stairs they climb,
With little buzzing tongues that chime
Like bees among the clover.
Their busy brains and happy hearts
Are full of crowding fancies;
From song and tales and believe
A wondrous web of dreams they weave
And airy child romances.
The starry night is fair without,
The new moon rises slowly,
The nursery lamp is burning faint
Each white-robed like little saint
Their prayers they murmur lowly.
Goodnight! The tired heads are STILL
On pillows soft reposing;
The dim and dizzy mists of sleep
About their thoughts begin to creep
Their drowsy eyes are closing.
Goodnight! While through the silent
air
The moonbeams pale are streaming,
They drift from daylight's noisy shore
Blow out the light and shut the door
And leave them to their dreaming

Compulsory Ref

The work of the legislative session
Just closed seems likely to turn pub
lie attention, with new interest,
toward direct legislation.
The proceedings at this session
must convince the people generaly,
that their affairs should not be left
too largly in the hands of their so
called representatives, no matter by
what method they may have been
nominated.

what can be done with the initiative

islature fails to do so. But the ref
erendum lies apparently dead, use

a single reference to the referendum
during the session. would never
be guessed from the conduct OF the
Legislature, nor the newspaper COM
ments and criticisms thereon, that
any such thing as the referendum
existed in Oregon!
The legislature itself seems to
have forgotten that the people have
or should have any control over
their acts.
But, vicious though legislative
measures may be, they are very
likely to escape an appeal to the peo-
pie, unless there be some organiza-
tion to take some such measure up
and get them referred.
IL takes organization and some
money to invoke the referendum:
and this organization the great body
of the people do not possess. For
this reason the optional referendum
as we possess IL. has serious defects.
Now the Grange has the funds to
print the referendum petitions, and
the organization TO circulate them
widely, and II can do nothing more
effectual to increase its influence
and membership among farmers.
than by showing them the power II
thus possess.
Further, II might be well for the
people to turn their attention to the
advisability OF making the referen-
dun compulsory, in certain classes
of cases. It is now altogether OPP
tional with the legislature TO refer
measures to the people, and this
option has not yet strongly enough
been exercised In a single instance.
