Afternoon Rest,

The necessity for a rest hour for q
busy mother and housekeeper cannot
be too strongly insisted upon. All 9TH
er women are apt to take this rest ex-
cept the woman whose work is never
done" and who needs it the most of
all. It is not necessary to take q full
hours rest, but as much time as this
should be allowed IN the early after
noon after the work of the dinner is
over, for the simple object of resting
The habit should be acquired of going
to ones room and of shutting out the
outside world as much as it is possible,
together with all worldly care and
worry. Battle the temples, loosen the
dress and, If possible, put on a loose
wrapper and lie down. Sleep may not
come at once, but the habit is soon &C.
quired, and in a short time the tired
woman who adopts this remedy will
fall asleep almost as soon as she
touches the pillow. Even if her en-
forced nap does not last over half an
hour no period Of sleep in the twenty
four hours covering the same amount
Of time will be so refreshing or give
so much rest to tired brain and muscle.

How to Play at What Is Called cIreu-
Istins Library.
A novel and entertaining form of
library.
The invited guests should include an
equal number of girls and men, and
the ladies are asked to come costumed
to represent books. One may either
dress to represent the book title or
something may be worn to suggest it,
as in the ordinary book tea, says the
Philadelphia Press
The names of the different books
represented are cataIogued duly under
their initial letters, and this list is
pinned up in the parlor.
AS each girl arrives she is conducted
by the hostess, who acts as librarian,
into rear room or, if only one apart
ment is available for the fun, behind
a screen, arranged at the rear Of the
drawing room.
Each man on arriving reads the list
Of books and decides which title he
would prefer.
He appeals to the librarian, who
leads out to him the book he has Sc
lected.
Each borrower is permitted to retain
a book ten minutes, not longer, after
which he must return it to the shelves
under penalty of paying a forfeit.
He then selects another name from
the list.
OF course the borrower must not be
allowed to discover by whom the diff
ferent books are being personifed.
This same attractive idea can also
be arranged as a philanthropic venture
with large number of books and five
or six librarians to see that the men
patrons are waited upon.
The money is taken in the form of
twenty-five cent entrance fees and also
in fines paid by those who disregard
rules and fail to return specially inter-
esting volumes within time limits

HANDLING BALKY HORSES.
Kindness and Firmness Needed to
Break Bad Habits.


Concerning balky horses a CORE
spondent Of Rural New Yorker says:
| have had some experience with al
most all kinds Of horses, and q balky
horse find the most provoking
have ever had in my possession.
Horses are SO different in disposition
that it takes a good horseman to I'D
derstand just how to handle each ami
NAL. In my experience l find that the
balky horse has been spoiled by a
poor driver or by some one who did
not understand how to handle that
kind Of animal, which is usually of u
contrary nature. Like some men, they
want their own way or no way at all.
l find it best to study the disposition
of the horse, and if l see that he is a
naturally contrary animal try all the
kindness possible and never lose my
own temper. A good sound thraShing
will do sometimes, but with a natural
~ contrary horse l seldom use whip,
only to straighten him up, and then
more in the stable than when he is
hitched
When you want him to stand over,
tell him so with firm sect over;" not
a yell, but so he will know what
you mean, or to back up in the stall.
Use him firmly so he will know that
you mean what you say, I'd do not
say too much. use a good blacksnake
whip because can handle it the best.
If l cannot make him do what
want him to after several days train
ing, l take him on a good sod field
plenty of room-tie up his left front
foot firmly with a good strap so that
the foot is up to the body; then l put
a good strap on the right foot just
above the hOof and over his back; then
/ take a firm hold of the strap with the
right hand and at the bit with the left
hand, and 1 tell him to get up, and as
he does so 1 pull up the foot; down he
goes on both knees. Then is your time
to stay by him. Don't let go. He will
go down on his side if you stay by
him long enough. Then get on his head
quick and keep him there till he will
lie quiet Let him up; put him down
again till you are sure he is under
your control; then if you hitch him
put 10 load behind him and put him
with a good, true horse so he Will
learn how to go, but do not use the
whip if possible, and in time with
good firm usage you have a good horse

''Does the orchard pay?' Is a ques-
ton that every owner of such tract
should be vitality interested in. In way
of answering the question it may be
said that some orchards do pay and
others do not, quite largely depending
upon the intelligent care and attention
which they do or do not receive. One
central Iowa orchard of sixty acres Of
which we know showed a return Of
$50 per acre annually during a period
of five years. This is doubtless far
above the average, but vet it goes to
show what can be accomplished by
painstaking and intelligent care. Where
there is one orchard like this there
are probably dozen. large and small,
that do not give net return Of SO per
oere.

His Superior,

The following anecdote touching the
military career of the late Judge Tour
tee was related by Pension Commits
sioner Warner:
The colonel of the regiment being
absent one day, his duties devolved
upon the second in command, the lieu
tenant colonel, pOmpOus young fel-
low. One morning that officer called
at Captain TOurjee's quarters and o..
dered him to make a detail of thirty
men from the right of the rigimentai
line for special duty upon the follow.
ing day.
Late in the afternoon the lieutenant
colonel again calleG "pCD the captain
and asked whether MS order had been
carried out making a detail Of meD
from the lest of the line.
Beg pardon, YOU told me to make
a detail from the right of the line. y
was the captains reply.
No. sir; / said from the left" came
the snappy response.
You said from the right persisted
the captain, in more decided tones.
The lieutenant colonel was white
with rage. Drawing himself up to lis
full height, and at the same time
gesticulating with his right hand il
menacing way he vociferated
WHO is superior here, you or I?''
Il am, sir, in everything but rank,
was the cool response.
Captain Touriee was ordered to his
quarters under arrest, but when the
colonel returned the following day
was ordered to report for duty.
The only possible way of explaining
the numerous instances where biped
suckers get plucked and skinned in all
kinds of raw and snide games is that
such people belong to a class who new
er read the daily and weekly papers,
which usually are full Of the accounts
of similar frauds played on other PEG
ole or who, if they do read, derive no
benefit therefrom either along the line
of warning or instruction. Such folk
seem to have no insight, little intelli-
gence and less memory concerning
matters Of this kind.

sured and corn is beginning to make
up for lost growth.
Weeds, weeds everywhere in the

on account of the wet weather and
the corn fields are growing green.
New kinds of weeds are appearing
and the farmers should be more
careful in securing seed grain SO that
the different weed seeds may not be
sown Bad seeds not only injure
the one who sows ii but also the
land Of his neighbors.
