- III you want a great treat
she says try to get the day dragsl I
reel as though there were a thousand hours
in it."
A dear little chap who was piayins
happily by my side said: Yes; but.
auntie' these hours won't come back. you
know."
The blessed baby brought me 70 my senses
very quickly with his quaint wisdom, for
l DO love life, and 1 don't want TO shorten
1t by one minute.
I think even the grumblers ana pes,,-
mists love life. In spite Of All their drearv
forebodinEs.
OF course, a great deal Of happiness
comes with health. II your body is sound
ana wholesome, and you feel full Of energy.
you cannot stay depressed very long: be-
cause In spite OF the most adverse clrcum-
stances your heart will sing, "The world is
beautiful and the sun shines ana 1 am
alive"
There Is no blessing in the world to
equal good health.
fou may be worth a million dollars, but
II you have a weak heart, or indigestion,
or a lame back, you cannot be perfectly
happy.
But IL you are all alive from head to
WIN BlorlOuS nealth, you can soar to
untold heights OF bliss
And all this preamble, my girls. leads TO
this advice: above all things cultivate
health"
II you have to choose between a dance
in a close. overheated room and late hours,
and a good walk in the brisk air and SEN
slble hours. choose the latter, for the sake
of your health and complexion.
Don't think that I am urging you to
give up all dances, as dancing In season
is good. healthy exercise.
But some of you go to three or four
dances a week through the whole winter
season, and no working girl can do that
and keep her health.
If you we're only going to live through
the dancing age. I might say, Go aheadl
Dance every night; use all your vitality in
that exercise"
But most Of you, 1 hope. will live long
lives of usefulness and the best part of life
comes after the dancing age-the time when
you will be wives and mothers, hoping to
build up the nation.
So you see. dears, the most important
thing for you to do is to keep yourselves
healthy.
Get plenty Of sleep. II you are obliged to
rise early, make up by going to bed early.
Nothing so quickly destroys health and
good looks as lack Of sleep.
Have fresh air in your sleeping rooms,
and in the days OF your youth avoid strong
tea and coffee and, needless tn say, spirit
uous liquors.

"This is not intended as a money-mak-
ing enterprise" said Nine. Davidoff to a
New York Herald reporter. while. Of
course. we xpect the experiments to prove
successful and the farm to be self-sup-
porting, yet my object is to make It a
phllanthropic enterprise with the view OF
helping members OF my own sex, as well
as to prove the scientific value Of the
plan with which I have been experiments
ing for several years. There is no con-
nection between my venture and the ut
terances OF Sir Oliver Lodge, the English
savant, relative to the influence Of cleo
tricity on plant life. The two systems diff
fer chiefly from the fact that all Of my
experiments are made under glass and
under certain conditions a static machine
is used in addition to dynamos."

Dconomv I'm Home Decoration.

Much practical advice of a positive char
scter for those planning homes or remoo-
cling old homes is given by Mabel luke
PrIestman Of Brooklyn in a book recently
published.
The foundation for success in the dec
Grating of a house is the color scheme
and the author keeps emphasizing this at
every possible opportunity. And, as the
walls are the foundation of the color
scheme, these receive a great amount OF
attention. Contrast must be used very
sparlngly, II at all. and the best results
come from a one-tone scheme throughout
the home, or at least one-tone rooms ar
ranged with a modified reproduction on
the walls and a somewhat lighter effect
on the ceiling. In north rooms, warm
browns, reds and yellows are excellent, but
glaring shades must be avoided. And In
every case color effects should be tried
out both by daylight and artificial light.
as a really fine room sometimes looks al
most impossible at night.
The walls Of the hall form the keynote
of the color scheme and should be care
fully considered. They are usually awk-
ward at best and cost to decorate an
amount out Of proportion to results. If a
light paper is used there should be- a dado
or panel Of burlap at the more exposed
parts. Some sort OF dado running the
length of the staircase will ave much ex-
pense.
Nc frieze should be used above the
stairs. II there is one in the hall proper
it must stop at the foot of the stairs.
A panel reaching to the ceiling and a
slight change in the style OF paper at
the foot Of the stairs will permit of a
change in decoration in the hall while
the rest remains in the old style.

G~raashopper Fry.

Countless millions Of grasshoppers have
invaded all parts of Maine this year, doing
much damage TO crops OF all kinds But
one man, Orrin Woodbury.. philosopher and
nature man, Of Tegsple, has discovered
a way 10 beat the ~'hoppers" at their own
game. Like st. John, who ate locust and
wild honey. Mr.. Woodbury., who once lived
on a milk diet seven years to change his
body and cleanse It, lives for the nonce on
hopper fry" This delectable dish, ex-
clusively enjoyed by Mr.. Woodbury., is pre-
pared, according to the Kennebec Journal.
about as follows: Some large bed sheets
are spread on the grass, and soon they are
covered with "hoppers' of all sizes and
kinds. A hasty gathering up Of the cloths
always results In a goodly supply OF juicy
grasshoppers, which are killed by passing
them through a flame that also removes
their wings and legs. Then Woodbury. pre-
pares a rich and creamy batter, in which
he dumps the torsos of the defunct chop.

Bachelor GirI's Reflections.

II is love that makes all the heartaches
in hfe-but then il is love that makes life
worth all the heartaches.
A good reputation is like a diamond
tiara-you have TO sacrifice so much real
comfort In order TO live up TO IL.
A man simply cannot understand Why a
woman will pay s. for the material In a
peek-a-bO waist and $40 for the holes.
a woman likes to travel the path Of
love slowly, but man always insists on
rushing over IL at the speed limit, in order
TO find out what's at the end.
A woman hater is a man who won't have
anything to do with women because he
doesn't trust them a man hater Is a
woman who doesn't trust men because she
has had too much TO do with them.
Happiness in marriage depends not 30
much on whether or not a woman holds
high ideals and how she does her duty as
on whether or not she can hold a servant
and how she does her hair for breakfast

KNOCK for Hu.bnnds.

Miss Mary Coleman is the brilliant New

turned, last month. a s~uffragette meeting
in Wall street from failure to success.
"A man doesn't need to be henpecked to
support our movement" Miss Coleman said
afterward. 1T is wronging men to say our
male supporters are like-like-'
Miss Coleman smiled.
Like this she said. "A tall, stout woman

CHAMP CLsRk's SUGGESTION.

The Missouri congressman is a dem
ocrat, but when h" makes a suggestion
as to the nomination OF candidates for
vice president he sr"aks not as a parti-
SAN. but as a PARROT. He speaks to
both parties. He asks each to no1ni-
nate q candidate for vice president
ahead of its candidate for president.
He does this hoping to arouse both
parties to a proper sense OF the Woe
presidential nomination. AS things are
goins the delegates in a national con-
vention are in a hurry to get away
after a nominee for President has been
selected, and the hAll is filled with
proxies.
Not enough consideration is given in
either party to the selection of a can
didats for vice president. and yet such
a candidate should be Of presidential
size. Five vice presidents have STEP
ped directly into the Presidential OF
fee, and five more will perhaps 40
Use during the present century.
In the past, two became President
through the interventionH5of disease
and three through the] a%ctionsof assas-
sins.
Mr.. Clark thinks that if the vice
presidential nominee of each party is
selected before the head of the ticket
is named less careIessness will be dis
played in the selection of the second
man. The suggestion has no harm
and much possible good in it, and it
should have at least careful considera-
ton.

OUR RECEIPTS and EXPENSES.


The exact totals for the fiscal year
just ended are not yet atihand, but it
is well known that the dsAeit of the
year will be about SIS, 900 900. Sesre-
tary Cortelyou officially said before
asst year was entered upon shat . sur
the treasury before it was ended. It
will be seen that his estimate was over
500, 900 900 out of the way.
The revenue was decreased heavily
during the year. At the custom housss
there was . decrease Of about $45 ,O00,-
600, and the decrease in internal V
nus receipts will be fully $40, 200 900.
At the same time the Republicans con-
tinus to increase expenditures ut =
rapid pace. More msnsy wasspsnt on
the army, the navy,Ion!public works
and in miscellaneous ways. The sx-
psnditures are nearly double these Of
Mr.. Clsveland's ssesnd term.
It will be strange indeed If the victor
does not inquire why an s~utragsously
high tariff levied fer the benefit Of .
privileged few brings insufficient
money into tie treasury. It fills the
pockets OF the few while ii Aeplotos

counted for, and altogether b Re

fore them. The official figures will
place them on the defensive.

The question of the limitations ct
draymen and hackmen was before the
Board and on motion was referred to
the ordinance committee.
VIM. Hall was before tie Board ask
ing that he be permitted to substitute

pired term.

bent, MI. e. B. Borden, was unani-

L0oTING ALONGITAE RIO GRANDE.

The Mexican-Texas border il the
scene of daily battles or s~emi-battles,
and life and loo are ansafe all along
the Rio Grande. Whether these dis
turbancss are by revolutionists or out
laws, it 10 net easy to dscipher. Nor
is it necessary to do SO.
1t is the plain duty of tie United
States to put an end to raids planned
by men living in the United States and
who will when defeated or I've re-
pulsed flee across the Rio Grande to
this country. Nc asylum should be
granted to such characters. They
should be arrested, be they revolution
aries OF plain bandits. They are prob
ably = combination Of the two. While
they are looting defenselsss banks they
are hoping to foster q revolution
against the Diaz administration.
PORT rie Diaz has been President Of
Mexico 80 years. His present term OF
four years will be ended Der 80,
1910. He has just been invited by
King Edward to visit England this
summer. The veteran leader stands
high in the sst1matiens of the world.
He has brought to Mexico peace and
to all peaceful Mexicans personal Sc
curity. He has attracted foreign capt.
tai. He has not thus far accepted the
invitation of King Edward, who de-
sires his presence in connection with
the Mexican exhibit TAT the coming
Crystal Palace exposition. The hooters
who are slipping back and forth owe
the Texas border hope their efforts
will bring about Il political uprising
but is scarcely probable. Tho United
States is moving to stop violations OF
the neutrality laws, and the Mexican
troops are being transported to the
border. The looters will begin oon to
wish themselves back in Texas, and
most Of them will no doubt seek to get
there. President Dlaz does not pro-
pose to ask tor another term, and 1t
seems but fair that he should be per-
mittsd to round up his services by .
trip to King Edwards domin1ons in al
the . of mind that public tran

about the platform OF Vice Presidency,
although Sam Gompsrs feels certain
that an anti injunction plank will go

he has written it, and Judge Gray's
manager has another statement to tho
