Success and Failure.

Peary failed TO reach the North
Pole. but he got nearer to that elusive
proposition than any other of the
numerous explorers who have tried to
penetrate to that arctic region that
has been so long an undiscovered coun-
try. He was within 191 miles OF the
pole, a short distance from the point
desired, II the transportation in the
frozen north were equal to our own IN
the matter OF speed over good rail
roads. Peary beat the record of Capt
Cagni OF the Italian Duke Of Abruzzi
expedition by over SO miles, and Ia to
be praised for his PERSISTENCE and
courage, but, nevertheless, manS are
asking what particular good has been
accomplished by his efforts? Even II
he had reached the regions where It
Is claimed there are 100000 square
miles of unoccupied territory. would
this have been of any benefit to hui
manity at large? asks Boston Budget.
Would the country have been inhabl-
table. and If it were. how would in
tending settlers ever get there through
the icy barriers that would oppose
their progress on all sides? Possibly
In the distant future. modern invent
iveness might be able to make jour
neying to the pole comparatively easy,
80 that even excursion parties might
ent this seems to be as little likely OF
realization as would be trip to Mars
on flying machine However, man is
an inquirlng animal. and is always
wanting to eat of the tree of know
ledge. and II only his curiosity would
be gratified by the invasion of the
North Pole, there would be some ad-
Nancement made in developing the
spirit of enterprise without which
there is no progress In any acknow-
lodged practical direction. Science
would be benefited by the discovery, If
nothing else came from it for the pros
perity of mankind. Peary has not at
tained the summit of his ambition,
but that will not discourage others
from trying to Guido him His exam
pie will encourage them to venture
farther than he did. for as he followed
Others he will have. no doubt, many
successors. The best solace that Peary
has in his defeat is the faith that his
wife exhibited during his silent alb
sence in his ability to return to her

from experience all the difficulties and

MAKES CARPETS LIKE NEW.
Preparation Can BE Made at Homo
and Easily Applied.

The following method of cleaning
carpets has been thoroughly tested
and was secured from a professional
source: First have the carpet cleaned
in the usual way and tackled down on
the floor where IL Is ~ -emain perma-
nently and IL is ready for the clean
ing process. Take one and a half
pounds of the best white laundry soap,
one-half a pound Of white-oak bark,
three fourths OF a pound of borax,
one-fourth of pound of fuller's earth,
one-half pint of good alcohol, one
half pint of ammonia. one-half an
ounce OF chloroform and four gallons
Of water. Tie up the bark in a piece
Of thin material and boil in two gal
Ions OF water for four hours. Keep
boiling water at hand to replace that
lost by evaporation. Now remove the
bag, add the soap. shaved fine, the
borax and the fuller's earth and let
simmer until all are dissolved. Then
add the other two gallons of water,
which should be boiling hot, and when
partly cool add the alcohol, ammonia
and chloroform. This quantity will
clean 30 yards OF carpet

preparation, put it on the carpet,

The Scrap Drawer.

Every woman knows the value Of
a scrap-bag to hold bits of silks, rib
bon, lace and other "left-overs" from
dressmaking, which may be useful for
patching or for some other purpose.
But where a bag is used the coveted
piece is sure to be down at the bot
tom, so that 1t is necessary to dump
out the entire contents of the bag
every time something is wanted out
of it, Therefore il is better to de-
vote a spare drawer in bureau to
scraps. Here the various rolls OF
laces and ribbons. each wrapped and
pinned into tight bundles, may be
spread out so that each one may be
easily recognized A bag for buttons,
old fringes and the like may be in
cluded among the contents of the
drawer. which proves a boon to all
who have tried It,

National Department of Health.

The plea made by Prof. Norton of
Yale university for national depart
ment OF health is not to be ignored
remarks the Troy Times. Yale has
taken up the matter, and other ingti-
tutions and men of high professional
standing are giving attention. A bull
letin put forth by Yales department
OF social science reminds the Ameri-
can people that the four causes Of
waste of human life and energy are
preventable death, preventable sick
ness, preventable conditions OF low
physical and mental efficiency and pre-
ventRble ignorance, and urges action

serts that not less than 100000 lives
can be saved in the United States an
nually by the employment of proper
means, and he puts the economic side
OF the question in almost startling
form. Estimating wages at one dollar
per day, which no doubt is far below
the average, the professor shows that
the yearly loss by illness Is consider
ably over $1,000, 100000. while by the
methods proposed at least half this
sum could be saved. In an era notable
Tor the economizing OF force, that is a
statement to compel serious thought.

NEAT AND SENSIBLE COSTUME
FOR RAINY WEATHER.
European Authorities Indorse the
WelI-Cut Killed Garment for
Out-of-Door Wear-Right of
Women to Dress as They
Please

Should girls wear short skirts?
Why not? If they have the sense
to do ii. Is there anything heater
and trimmer than a well-cut killed
skirt clearing the ground by two
inches or more, and showing a pair
OF high-laced boots? 1t is the last
thing in smartness for rainy weather,
and never was there a fashion more
hygienic than that OF the "trottoir"
skirt, says an English authority
In France, where they know how
to dress, and where economy has been
elevated TO an art, no self-respecting
woman would appear outside her own
house, if there was q speck of mud
In the streets, in a dress that touched
the ground. In Germany, where one
is housewife first and a woman aft
erwards, it would be heart breaking
spectacle to the neighbors if one
| sauntered out casually in the morning
in a dress that did not betoken the
stern business of catering for ones
household by being held high from
the street by a steel arrangement
that fastened round the waist
In Spain and Italy those women
| who do not drive in carriages all
| wear skirts to their ankles, and you
| never see the American lady tourist
clutching a bunch of skirt in one
| hand while with the other she grasps
feldglass, handbag and umbrella. Is
England, then, the only nation that
would doom it's women to sloppy I'M
tidiness of costume because the mod
| esty of the men must not be shocked
| by the sight of well-turned ankle
and a pretty foot? The days have
| gone by when we were asked to be
| merely graceful ornaments of soci-
ETY.. Let us at least dress as we
| please.
To-day, when he marries. man

over the hills and dales of life, then

sci who is vision of beauty in cheap
| lace and turn his attention instead
| to the girl who shows that she has

neatness, the girl who has probably

SCIENCE OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
Necessary knowledge IL Home Is to
Be Made Happy.

Did you ever ask yourself the mean
ing of the term domestic economy?
Most likely you never did. Notwith-
standing the growing popularity OF
this branch Of study, there is no sub
ject the name and nature of which
is so generally misunderstood.
Some young women think it means
cookery and laundry lessons" others
thing 'scraping and saving" would
more fifty define it, while dim ideas
of so-called mental duties and domes-
tic drudgery float through the brains
of others.
But these are small nibblings at
the outer bark" of the truth. which is
that domestic economy is a saving
knowledge, a knowledge which relates
to the intelligence and cultivated man
agement of everything connected with
the home.
1t is the science Of the home, and
prominently a woman's science.
1t is the womans work to make the
house into a home. Every woman
ought to know how to do all things
necessary to make a home happy,
says Woman's Life.
The husband earns the money, but
the principal part of it has to be
spent by the wife. Hence it is very
important that all girls should learn
domestic economy But please re-
member that domestic economy is
one of those things that cannot be
learned from books alone
