Goats milk and no vaccination is
the doctrine of the duchess of Hamil

shyest and most retiring of women in
private life, in bringing up her four
children. She is president of the Brit

The family never goes anywhere with
out one. The duchess is always preach
ing the value of goats milk and goats
flesh, averring that the virtues of the
goat have not been appreciated. The
duke, an invalid, passes most of the
time at his Scottish home, Hamilton
palace, great mansion that absorbs
nearly all his income. He inherited
the title from his cousin, the twelfth
duke. but the estate! Eassed to the
late dukes daughter, now the march

He got off the Pullman, lit a per.
fumed cigarette and began to walk the
platform. He was a tall young man,
and little too thin in the legs for his
height, but his shoulders were wide
enough; his tailor had seen to that
AS he swung along the platform
with studied stride imported from
Pail Mall, he was a picture for a cloth
ier's artist. His cap was green, not a
vivid green, but a subdued sort of au-
tumn green. His clothes matched his
cap. His green trousers were rolled
up displaying a pair of billiard-table-
green silk socks. There were green
laces in his shoes, and his necktie was
green, with green stickpin in it, and
on the hand with which he carried his
perfumigator SO gracefully was a
large green set ring.
He was a beauty, all right. The
only thing we would have changed
about him was the self-conscious look
on his proud young face. AS the con-
ductor shouted Aboard" we were
sorry to see the young man fall on his
hands and knees in his haste to get

This is something that an architect
or builder cannot do. An architect
may design and a builder construct a
house rightly proportioned an in con.
formity with it's surroundings, but the
family must then take the building in
hand and add the intangible air of re-
fnement and sociability to complete
the structure. A great many sources
are drawn upon to bring about the
desired results. but they all have their
roots in education acquired by read

LOVE, THE MAGICIAN
FOR ITS SAKE WOMAN WILL EN-
DURE AND FORGIVE ANYTHING.
Eastern journal Makes a Few Com
ments on the Position of the
Average Wife-Works for
Board and Clothes.

A young man not many years ago
out on the front porch late at nights;
he made life torment for her if she
looked at any other man; and finally
he married her.
He is poor and her father is in fair
ly good circumstances, so that for the
first time in her life she began to
taste privation and self-denial She
cooks for him, cleans, sews, mends
and slaves for him and their two chill
dren.
Why has this man put this woman
in a position where she must expert
ence such hardships in addition to his
tyrrany?
Because he loves her.
This is a common Interpretation of
love, the sweetest word in the Ian
guage.
Because he loves her, many a man
has brought many a woman down to
a hell which she has Loyalty striven to
turn into a heaven.
Woman is SO constituted that so
long as she believes herself loved and
appreciated she can forgive anything
and endure anything and still be
happy.
A wife is the only laborer on earth
who works for her board and clothes
and is expected to be grateful for the
privilege.
But even she appreciates trip and
q day off now and then.
The husband who doesn't econo-
mize on expressions of affection or
stint his wife on praise may do as he
will without friction or argument.
So long as he doesn't sink the lover
In the husband he need fear no rival.
He may forget every other rule, but
If he remembers this all will be well.
Even when the steak is leather and
the bread a cinder he must merely
remark that the meal isn't quite up to
her usual high standard of perfec-
tion-and it doesn't happen again.
Every woman is an idealist, and she
will break her neck trying to live up
to what she thinks loving husband
expects of her.
There are worse things than work.
1t is generally the lonely, hungry
hearted women who are trying to
amuse themselves and feed their
starved lives on the froth of parties
and the dry husks of club papers.
Sitting alone at night waiting for a
husband to come home doesn't thrill a
woman a bit more than it would a
man.
But any woman can be broken of
the club habit by a husband who will
stay in of evenings and try to enter
tain her in a spirit of love anything
like that of courtship days.-Philadel-
phia Telegraph.

COUNTRY HAS FEW RICH MEN.
They Are as Scarce in Bulgaria az
Black Swans.

Bulgaria is the nearest approach to
a peasant commonwealth which the
world has known in modern times.
There is not a Bulgarian Slav who is
not the owner of plot of land upon
which he lives and out of which he
gets his own livelihood by his own
labor.
Large landowners are almost un-
known, says the London illustrated
News. The few men of wealth in the
country are mostly of foreign birth
or descent; and even they would not
be counted as wealthy according to
the standard of other European coun-
tries.
The small landowners, who form
the vast majority of the population,
are peasant born and peasant bred.
They are extremely thrifty. They are
content with very plain food; they
wear the same sheepskin garments
from year to year, only turning their
coats inside out with the changes of
the season.
Whole families, even of well to do
peasants, sleep in the same room upon
mats stretched out ON the floor They
live under conditions of dirt and dis
comfort which no British or German
or French laborer would tolerate for
week. Yet Notwithstanding their
disregard of the simplest sanitary ar
rangements they grow up singularly
strong and healthy.
Moreover, they are free from the
irritation caused among other labor
ers, overworked If not underpaid, by
the spectacle of neighbors living in
affiuence and ease without any neces.
sity to curtail their expenditure. Rich
men are black swans in Bulgaria.
