Worlmen Eat Much Sugar.

In lumber camps and in the mines
of Canada and the colder sections of
the United States workmen consume
large quantities of sugar in the form
of molasses. Tea and coffee is Of
ten sweetened with molasses, and in
some places is it added to almost
every article of food. The same is
true to greater or less extent in the
logging districts of the South, where
molasses and rice mixed together
have become almost staple diet.
Sugar is contained in large proper
lions in many natural foods, such as
fruits. Sugar of milk is part of the
natural food of the infant.
From consulting the tables it will
be seen that the carbohydrates (su-
gars and starch), are needed and con-
sumed in much larger proportions
than either of the other two chief
classes of nutrients. A person re-
quires more than twice as much Of
carbohydrates as he does of protein
and fats combined. Hence the carbo-
hydrates might be called the chief
class of food nutrients. They make
up large part of vegetable food and
in general are very completely diges-
tible. Sugar, it is declared, is COM

A Very Able Woman.
BY A. b. LEWIS.

He stood in front of the laundry
with far-away look in his eyes and

mentous question. Finally he entered

"Fergit it! I'm tryin' to git Sarah

The same time. That's woman for

She'll get four dollars per if she's

ANY good? Say, you ought to be

Sarah is cookin' breakfast, tacklin' the

Sarah will do it. She claims that
what's good fer man is good fer wom-

I'VE can't use her here. She's

Mothers and Their Girls.

What to do with out girls? That is
the problem that confronts most
mothers. One of the saddest of life's
problems is what to do with the girl
who is by temperament entirely I'M
suited for business life. She may
have all the ability; but there are
many clever, capable women who
should not attempt to earn their liv-
ing in a public way. One is the
sweetly dependent girl-the girl for
whom the folks at home, particularly
an adoring circle of men, have always
fetched and carried.
The girl who is sentimental or SUI
persensitive has difficult fight to
make when she comes into the city.
Those who have positions to offer
want the best possible service for the
money they are paying. They do not
ask why you are earning your living.
nor will they express the idea that
it is noble of you to support your
mother.
They may find that out in time and
respect you the mere for it, but the
great question in their mind is, Can
she do the work." "Will she keep
our interests uppermost in her mind
during business hours?"

The Nobler Sacrifice.

What influences does business ex-
ert on the inexperienced, expectant
girl? They are purely psychological.
The question of comparative health
and comparative morals in domestic
and business life is narrow, as COM
pared with the broader one of psyche
logical conditions.
believe that there are just as
many women who break down under
the strain of bearing children and
domestic burdens as there are those
who have nervous prostration from
trying to do mans work in business
and live womans life at home.
But there is this difference: The
woman who sacrifices herself on the
domestic altar may leave behind her
living, breathing memorial in the
sons and daughters who revere her
memory, and who hand down to pos
terity the influence of her strong
character, as Overwhelming circle for
good; while the woman who sacrifices
herself to business success can leave
only a few tangled skeins in office or
store for some other woman to
straighten out. The woman who is
normal and healthy, and performs her
work in the normal, common-sense
way, will not break down either in
the home or in wage-earning field.
Wage-earning women as a class I
believe to be even more moral than
their sisters who lead the protected
life. Contact with the world shows
them the wages of sin as we'll as the
wages of work. They are less cred
ulous, less trusting, than the girl who
idealizes every man who comes upon
her horizon. The girl whose virtue
is inherent and strongly entrenched
does not yield to the Establishments
of the man she meets in business;
rather she becomes absolutely i'm
pregnable. On the other hand, the
girl who is naturally wild and I'M
restrained does not require the influ-
ence of Office, store or factory en-
vironment to show her the downward
way.-Anna Steese Richardson, in the
Woman's Home Companion.

The Speaking Voice.

There is theory that it is danger
Gus to go beyond the mere freeing of
the instrument in either vocal or
physical training. In accordance with
this theory l was advised by 6 we'll
known actress to confine my study for
the stage, so far as the vocal and
pantomimic preparation was con-
cerned. to singing, dancing and fenc-
ing. Get your voice and body under
control she said; make them free,
but don't connect shades of thought
and emotion with definite tones of the
voice or movements of the body;
don't NEEDLE with Delsarte or elo-
cution." This advice seemed good
at the time. 1t still seems to me that
it ought to be the right method. But
l have grown to distrust it. One of
the chief sources of my distrust has
been the effect of the theory upon
the art of the actress who gave the
advice. She is perhaps the most
graceful woman upon the stage to-
day, and her voice is pure music. But
her gestures and tones fail in lucid
ity; they fail to illumine the text of
the part she essays to interpret. One
grows suddenly impatient of the
meaningless grace of her movements,
the meaningless music of her voice.

There are hundreds of harassed,
nerve-worn employers in every large
city who are willing to pay salaries
to girls who know how to spell and
punctuate and are willing to take an
interest in the business. But they
haven't moment for the supersensi-
tive girl. If obstacles arise, her only
plan is to overcome them. If she
does not do this she has jeopardized
her position. 1t seems cruel, but her
employer does not ask why she failed.
He sees only that there is failure, and
to his business a failure Is as fatal
from one cause as another.
The girl who has not plenty OF good
clothes and little sum of money to
tide her over the period of waiting for
a position had better give up the idea
of coming to large city until she has
acquired both.-New Orleans Pic

his spectacles sit slantwise. The rea.

TIE OLD POLE STAR.


Before the clepsydra had bound the days
Man tethered Change to his fixed star, and
said:
The elder races, that long since are dead,
Marched by that light; it swerves not from
its base,
Though all the worlds about it wax and
fade"
When Egypt saw it, fast in Keeling spheres,
She reared and said Long as this star
holds sway
In unriyaled ether, shall the years
Revere my monuments" and went her
way.
The Pyramids abide; but through the shaft
That held the polar pivot, eye to eye, ;,
Look now-blank nothingness As though
Change laughed
At mans presumption and his puny craft,
The star has slipped its leash and roams
the sky.
Yet could the immemorial piles be swung
A skyey hairs breadth from their rooted
base,
Back to the central anchorage of space,
All, then again, as when the race was
young,
Should they behold the beacon of the race.
Of old men said: "The Truth is there; we
rear
Our faith full-centred on it. 1t was known
Thus of the elders who foreran us here,
Mapped out its circuit in the shifting
sphere,
And found it, mid mutation, fixed alone"
Change laughs again, again the sky is cold,
And down that fssure now no star-beam
glides.
Yet they whose sweep of vision grows not
old
Still at the central point of space behold
Another pole-star; for the Truth abides.

Story of the First Red Herring.

Not everybody knows the story of
the first red herring. In Yarmouth,
England, many years ago, there lived
a poor fisherman, who, having caught
more herring than he knew what to
do with, hung them up in the smoky
roof of his shed to dry, and imme-
diately proceeded to forget all about
them. 1t was bitter weather, and the
fisherman built up his fire we'll, so
that plenty of smoke was soon curl
ing up among the rafters, and pres
emily it came about that the herring.
from being white as whalebone"
when they were hung up, became "as
red as Holsters" Some days passed
before either the fisherman or his
wife thought of their herring, and
when at last they did so and discoy-
cred what strange colored fish they
had become, they were struck with
amazement, and fell down on their
knees and crossed themselves, and
cried "A miracle, miraclei" Then
they fastened off to the kings court,
then assembled at Burgh Castle, and
presented their treasures to hts mai
esty, who was SO impressed at the
sight of them that he gave the pair
leave to hawk them up and down the
country as strange monsters. This
was not the end Of the story either,
for the king, on the strength of the
miracle that had been worked at
Yarmouth, granted the place many
privileges, so that from the very first
herring brought good to the old
