Doing One Thing Well.

Every girl can do one thing well if she
will only take the trouble to find out
what that thing is. The difficulty is that
she often looks i'll the opposite direction;
she wants to 20 something great and
snowy or l.othing at all. But there are
other talents within her reach if she
will only look, and these talents may
be such a comfort to her in her dark
hours that they will make her life better
and happier for both herself and those
about her. 1t is the girl who does
things in this world who is attractive
to men and to her own sex. You may
not be able to do great things, to paint
great pictures or to sing in graud opera
but you can learn to make bright little
things for yourself and your friends
and perhaps to play the light catchy"
airs of the day, so that your friends viii
enjoy them, and if you can't do any
thing else, cultivate the art of talking
brightly and of being sympathetic The
girl who puts her own grief as much as
possible aside-who takes n wholesome
interest in life-is happier herself and
makes those about her happy.-Cooking

Forcing the Lilac.

Cut off some strong branches of the
lilac and put III a crock of earth Put
a strong solution of plant food in the
earth and S0 the crock in a deep saucer
of water, never allowing the water to
dry out. Occasionally pour weak
solution of ammonia water around the
stalk. Some try to force the buds by
growing them in water but. while they
bud. they soon die and are never fully
matured. BY adding natural plant food.

flowers will develop very nicely. All
kinds of fruit blossoms will deyelop if
the branches are kept in Jars of water

The American Public School
System Best N the World"

Nine. Laurence Fielder, who came to
this country a year ago ON a mission
from the French government to investi-
gate our schools and philanthropies. pro-
nounces the American public school sys-
tenn the best in the world. She com
mends our hospitals and sanatoriums.
particularly the system of having a
nurses training school in connection
with each large hospital. This is much
better than the separate training schools
abroad. Concerning the settlements, the
clubs and other ways wherein American
women work together for the general
welfare, Nine Fielder expresses great
enthusiasm. There is nothing like il in
France. she says. Nine. Fielder has
made researches like those she is now
pursuing in America in both Germany
and Denmark, and her subsequent re-
ports and lectures have been published
and have given her an international rep
utation. She founded in France a sana-
forum for young girls threatened with
consumption, and she is a member of
many social betterment societies. She
win remain in this country about two
years longer

Learn Stenography at Home.

Yes, you can, for the books give full
instructions and all one will need is to
study diligently and have plenty of prac-
tice. The work alone is rather discour-
aging, but after one learns the charac-
tiers and begins forming words, there is
an alluring fascination in the study
There may be a few perplexing places
in the work, but not enough to make
these difficulties improbable to overcome
The main difficulty is not in learning to
write, but to read ones work after it
is taken down. 1t takes practice to learn
rapid writing and this is essential in
some places though many persons are
so careful in debating letters that one
could almost write a letted in longhand
while they are talking. A good practice
is to get your notebook and take down
lectures or sermons and attend a court,
if possible, and take the rapidly-spoken
notes. If one can have member of the
family read the newspaper aloud, this is
excellent practice. Do not attempt to
complished shorthand. One can get
secondhand typewriter for $50 or $50
and it will answer nicely for practice
work. Do not get a double keyboard
machine, for this kind is fast going out
of use. and all large firms prefer the
single keyboard. Try to teach yourself
the touch system, for it is the easiest
method and more rapid than using the
one or two fingers of each hand. The
booklet of instructions teaches the sys-
TEN. Both shorthand and typewriting
can be learned at hime. thereby saving
the expense at school 1t will take long
er to learn without an instructor, but
you know nothing is impossible to the
ambitious and an I-will-succeed feeling
of determination. 1t is preferable for a
girl to take up these studies at home,
for, launced in the city with only a cler-
ical salary, the outsider has a struggle
for velihood.-Exchange

creditor, with whom she does not
wish her intercourse to be too close
So far as her front is concerned, she
initiates some of her inhabitants,
whose street windows are always
closely shattered, while they enjoy
themselves in open interiors, pleasant
with trees and flowers. And on the
other hand, when you have gone a
dozen yards ashore the river disap-
pears as if for good. 1t never forms
the background of a prospect from the
streets; there are no pleasure prone
nades on it's banks You might forget
that it was anywhere near unless
your curiosity should happen to be
reused some fine day by a mysterious
moisture darkening the ground. Then
you would learn from a native with
what freedom the river percolates all
through the alluvial deposit on which
this terraQueous city-the Venice of
America-stands, or perhaps it is bet
ter to say, floats.

WE are not much in favor of
muzzeling the press or preventing

that anarchistic addresses should be

This is one of the most foul, anti

in the United States. AS an meter
