strive to make it good by observing
what people have whose taste one

study.
It's remarkable what extraordinar-
lily bad taste lot of women have who
know how to dress remarkably well!

you by the awful taste with which
their houses were furnished? have.
Sit down and look at your rooms

chairs, the pieces of stufTs that have
no real use or beauty. and try to
give to the whole house an atmos-

OF your own personality into 1T. IL
you try TO copy some one else's taste

DO OPPOsITEs MATE?

should those of opposite character
mate? is a question that has been
frequently asked, and to which we
reply: Yes, they should, and often
do so most successfully. In fact.
some think IT is almost a necessity
to avoid monotony for two persons
VINO are going to spend their lives
together to have opposite characters.
This is speaking generally, but it is
highly desirable that this dissimi-
larity does not cause friction. 1t
would be extremely unwise, for in
stance, for one to be refined and Gull
tured and the other coarse and
brusque. The one would be a CON
tinual irritant TO the other. and the
coarseness of the one would ineyita-
bly, drag the other down. No. the
contrast must not be too pronounced.
not so much so as to cause onlookers
to eXclaim. How could she marry
that mani! or he that woman. as the
case may be, says Woman's Life.
Married persons undoubtedly have
great influence on the other, and if
one has a few angularities or pc
euliarities they are frequently soft
ened and toned down by the other
one. The old saying of two heads
being better than one is never truer
than in married life, and in the great
crises of life two opinions from oppo-
site characters are very valuable.

The proprietors of an Austrian
carpet factory at Mafferdorf have
acquired German patents which en-
body a method of manufacturing car
pets or floor coverings from paper.
The new material can be made in all
colors, is washable, and may prove
itself rival to linoleum.
German patent covers the en-
ployment of egg shells as gas man
tells. Tho two ends of the shell hav-
ing been removed, 1t is to be sup
ported by gas burner, so that it
may be heated to incandescence from
the inside. Eggs are getting scarcer;
and this may throw a little light on
the subject.

Among the symptoms of insanity us

A new appliance for deep blowing
has been brought out in Spain The
apparatus consists of an ordinary
breast plow which, instead of being
drawn by horses or oxen, as is usual
in this country. is pulled by a steel
rope attached to portable windlass,
or capstan, which is fixed into the
ground in an adjoining field, or at
some distance from the section to be
plowed. burrows of depth of 14.7
and III inches wide can be easily
and rapidly made with the help OF
one or two horses, where six or eight
would be required by the old system
of direct traction.
A Swiss engineer announces a new

By merely turning a small winch on

minute. When not in use the escape
