The seltReliant Girl.

The chief end Of doctors is to teach
people to keep we'll with the minimum
Of doctoring. The chief end OF au-
ihorlty Is TO qualify people for self
government. The chief end of parents
and schools IS 10 train children in
wisdom and knowledge. that they
may be able 10 take care OF them.
selves That has long been under
stood in its relation to boys. writes +.
s Martin. IN Success Magazine. The
idea Of education for boys Is 10 train
them up through obedience to liberty.
We want 10 make them free, and wise
enough to thrive on freedom. AS fast
as they can bear Il we put upon them
increased responsibility for their own
conduct, and their own use Of time
and OF money. What we want Of them
finally is not merely TO respond with
docility TO the care that is taken for
them, but gradually to become quail
fed to take care OF somebody else. And
steadily and rapidly our civilization
has been coming TO have like atti-
tude toward girls. They are not boys
in skirts, but very different creatures;
their neede are different, their ideal
work In life is different, the processes
Of education which seem most profit
able for them are different; but In
hem, too, we grow more and more
solicitous TO develop the capacity 10
take care OF themselves and eventually
OF others; TO develop, indeed. all pos
sible capacities that are not incom-
patible with one another. and with the
highest and best and most important
destiny that life holds for girls.

HOW TO TELL PURE WATER.
Simplest Way. Is That Called the
hiirsch Test.

People not infrequently come home
from summer vacation If not with
typhoid, at least with bad malaria
or stomach disorders.
This is often caused by impure wa
ter, and it is well, especially in going
into the country, where wells are used,
to know few simple tests by which
the condition OF the water can be
told.
About the simplest is one that is
well known, called the Hirsch test.
Buy a pint bottle of clear glass pref
erably with glass stopper Fiji it
two-thirds full with water, 10 which
is added a half-teaspoonful of granu-
lated sugar.
Cork the bottle tightly and stand in
a light in a warm room for As hours.
If at the end Of that time the water
is cloudy or milky-looking it is unfit
for use.

Pineapple Salad.

Pineapple in any form makes one
of the most deliciops summer sa,ASz.
Instead of cutting it in cubes. how
ever, and serving it either alone or
with celery. try combining the pine
apples and orange. The latter gives
an intangible flavor that is quite diff
ferent from either OF the fruits used
singly.
Cut the pineapple into quarter inch
cubes. Divide the oranges into sec
tions, skin each one carefully and cut
II in half.
Chill the fruit on ice for half an
hour and serve on hearts of lettuce
with mayonnaise mixed through the
fruit.

REAL AMERICANS IN KENTUCKY.
Whole Counties Without a Resident of
Foreign Birth.

! There are counties in Kentucky
where there is not single resident of
foreign BIRTH" declared R. B. Baker of
Louisville, according to the Milwaukee
Sentinel. "The residents are the de-
scendants of the old families who
came to Kentucky when that state
was known as the dark and bloody
ground" and who fought to make the
state what 1t is to-day. They have no
land to sell to foreigners, they have
no business to do with them, therefore
the foreign population settles else
where. | presume the same condition
OF affairs will be found in these same
counties fifty years from now.
Not anywhere else in this country
can there be found settlement which
is more truly American When you
stop to consider the number of nation
aliti?s one meets gathered together in
almost every part of the country, the
way these Kentuckians have managed
to keep to themselves is little less
than marvellous. Kentucky is unlike
any other state in the union, anyway
In two counties there they have never
held a coroner's inquest They have
coroner in each county, but they con-
tend that 1t is not necessary to hold
an inquest over the remains of man
who is killed if you know how he was
killed. They always know how the
lead ones are killed. In these same
counties l do not believe they have
'ver held court without, company or

accustomed to settling their own
