1t is in the home that woman
rises to her truest heights and
YIELDS her widest influence. Ev-
cry home is a miniature world,
and the wife is a crowned queen
The wife who makes society the
field of her accomplishments soon
finds her husband d devoted club
man. The woman who fills her
head with many of the ideas and
pleasures of much that is called So
ciety, soon wants to entertain her
husband, any evening she may not
have some other engagement,
with cards. She plays just as she
did to win some prize at progress
i've eucher or whist parties. She
cheats little, and they have lit
tie spat over it, and then another
and another, and presently she
fires something at his head, but
misses it and hits the motto over
the door, "God Bless Our Home. "
Their little boy says: "Ma, you
missed pas head, but you gave
the motto hail Columbia" Often
the only question to be decided in
that home is, "who shall have the
boyf" and the court is asked to
decide it. God pity the woman
who has set her heart on much
that is in modern society.

Wandering Cow Released On Her Own
ReeognIxancs BY klnd-hsart-
ed Police Chief.

A fine Holstein COW that had es-
capped from her owners lot was re-
Gently roaming the streets of Nash
vile when she was roped in by the
pound officer. This official action
evoked moving appeal from the
owner, who addressed the chief Of
police in this wise:
"Chief Blank: Dear Friend: Your
pound man has hauled my COW into
court this morning for prowling.
As it was her first offense, please
have her let of with as light fine
as possible. Yours, -"
Across the face of this letter the
chief scrubbed the following in
struction to the pound man:
"Release the COW on her own
recognizances. "-Harper's Weekly.

1AvARiAN DANCE.

Peasants of the upper Bavarian
Alps are famous for their agility
as dancers. One of their curious
dances is as follows: Eight boys
form a ring in the middle of the
dancing ground. They join hands
firmly as they circle round; every
alternate dancer filings his feet for
ward until his body becomes hori-
zontal and parallel with the ground.
These four then brace their feet to-
gether and, supported by the others
in the ring, they form rapidly re-
volving cross. After a little while
they regain their feet and the others
form the cross.

The man who makes money in 8
community has a duty to perform
to that community. 1t may be
that he has made his money bv
his superior business ability, and
that he would have done as well
anywhere. That does not alter
the case. If his gifts are great
his responsibility is equally as
great. No man was placed on
earth for the sole purpose of max
ing money, and the man who has
this as his ideal had better never
have been born. 1t is not an act
of charity, but the performance OF
simple duty for the man who
has made money to pass little OF
it ON for the benefit of the COM
munity, even though he never ex-
poets to see dollar of his contri.

VISIT YOUR SCHOOLS.

You hear great deal about our
schools, talk much about them
think some about them, and per.
adventure wonder not a little moro
about them than if they were in
China. How many heads of fam.
lilies, parents, business men. men
of minds, ever cross the TIRES.
hold of the school-roomi How
many ever offer word of encour.
agement to teacher or scholar and
let them know by your presence.
at least occasionally, in the school
room that you are an interested
party, really DESTROYS that thew
should prosper, and that you have
their best welfare at hearth How
many have personally recognized
the head of the school, he who has
the training of the mind and the
building of and establishing the
character of your boy or girli How
many have kindly counseled and
advised with him, showing you
are with him in the great work,
wishing him well, and cheering
with "God speed" How few,
can answer in the affirmative, and
yet you sometimes hear of the school
and feel that it is not what it
should be, and what you wish it
was. Will it help it to be con-
stantly finding fault, continually
growing aud denouncing it with
almost every breath? And when
some trivial or evrn grave mistake
is made will il better matters to
pompously parade the same be-
fore the public.
Things are not often just as we
would like to have them, and sur
rounding circumstances not al
ways as we imagine or hear they
are, and very often if we knew the
exact condition and state of affairs
orr minds and opinions would be
the reverse to what they were
without a knowledge of facts.
Now this is merely offered as a
hint, and while we presume many
will read it, it is hoped some will
think about it, and at least few
be induced to aci npCn 1t and vlslt
our schools at least occasionally.

Woman's hopes are too often
blasted. In early youth many
say to themselves, 81 shall be
happy when have a husband to
love me best of all; then when
the husband is too careless, "My
child will comfort me-" then,
through the mothers watching
and toll, "My child will repay me
when it grows up" And at last,
after the long journey of years
has been YEARLY travelled through,
the mothers heart is weighed
down by heavy burden, no hope
but the grave. We hope this may
not be the case with any who
weekly read these columns but all
must admit that it is often true
history of woman's hopes.

TRAVELS OF A CRAH.

In his report for the quarter end
ing September 80 the fishery officer
for the Northeastern district states
that he received one marked crab
during the quarter. 1t was captured
at Boddin, close to Montrose, Scot
land. 1t had Travelled from four
miles north of Scarborough castle,
distance of about 1876 miles, in
689 days. Unless the crab had a
lift on the way from some sportive
person it must on an average have
crawled not less than $50 yards a
day.-Westminster Gazette.

We notice in the Postmaster
Generals report a suggestion that
people writing letters should sign
their full names and addresses to
their letters, and there would
never be letter but what could be
returned if it failed to reach the
person it was intended for. The
report suggests better way than
that, too, but one which is a little
more expensive. That is to have
small card printed on the cor
ner of the envelope. This will
cost only trife, and if the letter
cannot be delivered to the address,
or the address should be wrong,
the letter would come back in the
course of five to seven days, in
stead of going through the dead
letter Office, and finally being re-
turned to the writer after a lapse
of six weeks or more. The latter
suggestion is much the best, and
can be adopted at very small ex-
pense. Give us an order for some
envelopes with your address print
ed on same and Your next letter
will receive better attention in the
handling of Uncle Sans mail.
