If so, what are you doing to keep

ATTITUDE IN HousEMoRK.

Housework should be regarded as
means of making one a broader,
healthier, nobler woman. Work Of
any kind, If approached in the right
spirit and performed to the best Of
ones ability, gives enjoyment and
culture, says Table Talk.
The wrong attitude produces a
cramped condition. By resisting and
complaining one becomes narrow and
inferior. How many say: II hate
housework," II dislike cooking" 81
despise washing Dishes" II detest
sweeping and dusting." If house
work, cooking, dishwashing, sweep
ing and busting have to be done why
grumble and complain? The work
only seems more difficult, more hate
full and takes longer to do. Why not
then do the necessary things cheer
fully and therefore easily and quickly?
As an aid to acquiring the right
mental attitude bring science and art
into household tasks and thus lift
them above drudgery. Surround
yourself with labor-saving devices.
Try new ways of doing things. Be
original. Because your mother or
neighbor does a thing in certain
way it does not follow that there is
not an easier and better. There are
continual advances in domestic
science as we'll as in astronomy, elec-
tricity and philosophy. Combine
beauty with use. A useful thing is
not of necessity homely, even If 1t is
a bowl, pot or pan.
Find out the essentials and nom
essentials. Let such things as can be
slighted be sighted a little. Don't
think that because 1t is Friday you
must sweep the house from top to
bottom whether it really needs 1t or
not. Don't neglect the new book or
the concert simply because you must
put few extra tucks in Susie's new
dress. To quote: whats the use Of
making discord in our family by
working every minute when we can
not be worked to death and keep
our tempers, too."

WIVES TO BLAME.

Biographers of famous men of let
ters have lately been unearthing evil
dence that tends to throw the blame
of the shortcomings of certain gifted
ones upon their wives. This has
been repeatedly done in the instances
of Byron and Shelley, and now we
learn, through three-volume collec-
tion of Wordsworth's letters-many
of them to and about Coleridge--
that the abortive genius of the latter
poet was due not to opium but to
an uncongenial wife. We are told
that during those years when poster
ity has pictured the poet incoming in
his study or monologuing to his
brothers of the pen, he was really
struggling" to adjust his impossible
domestic relations and giving "the
marvellous powers of his mind to the
foredoomed task of developing in
Mrs. Coleridge qualities of intellect
and of temperament which nature
had denied her." The stultifying ef-
feet of this association accounts

CARE OF SHEEP.

Great care should be taken to have
everything about the sheep barns in
proper shape for lambs.
It is best that the feeding racks
should be movable so that the floor
can be kept even.
II the manure is allowed to pile
up and pack unevenly, the ewes are
liable to get cast.
Every eve should be put in place
by herself until the lamb is about
eight days old.
Care should be taken that there
are no places where the lamb can
creep away from its mother.
A young lamb will soon become
chilled If it gets away from It's dam,
and often she will not own it when
it is put back.-Farmers Home Jour-

it is said-for the fragmentary char
acter of Coleridge's productions, this
being proved by the wonder of work
he accomplished during the "miracu-
lous year" of his first association with
the domestically harmonious Words
worths, particularly with Dorothy
Wordsworth, whose letters are by far
the most charming in this collection.

HANDLING HORSES.

When handling horse, self con-
troll is essential. Don't get out of
patience and kick and fume II the
animal does not do just as you WISH
Try again for probably the dumb
brute did not quite understand what
you expected 1t to do, and then give
the horse the order; don't expect the
animal to guess what you want done.
If you have horses keep close
watch on your teamster. If he ham
dies the horses brutally, or with poor
Judgment, pay him off at once and
get another man. 1t is easier to get
another teamster than 1t is to get
another team. Don't fail to keep an
eye on mischievous boys, for they will
tease and torment a horse just for
the fun of it. This may result in the
horse developing the habit of kick
ing, striking or biting.
Some horses develop into the habit
of kicking while standing in the sta
BILE. 1t is always dangerous to enter
the stall of a kicker, so the sooner
the animal is broken of the mean
trait the safer becomes the lives of
those who find OCCASION to have any
thing to do with it. Tie the horse
short, so as not to give any slack rope
to allow its backing up. Fill bag
with hay, straw or sawdust and sus-
pend it from the ceiling by a rope
directly behind the horses hooks.
Now make it believe that you intend
to enter the stall. Up come the heels,
striking the bag; It rebounds and
strikes the horse. Again, pretend
you intend to enter. The same thing
is repeated. The horse becomes
afraid and quivers as 1t attempts to
crowd into the forward corners of the
stall.
When only one horse is kept in a
stable it seldom kicks the sides of its
stall. Turning the stall kicker into
box stall has frequently broken up
the habit, but when that convenience
is not at hand, other measures are re-
sorted to. A club or two or three
inches in diameter, and about eigh-
teen inches long, SO as not to make
bruise, will do the job. Fasten the
club to the leg at the hook joint by
one of its ends, thus making loose,
swinging club. AS the horse kicks
the side of the stall the club strikes
the leg sharply. The horse soon
learns that when it keeps its feet
quiet the club inflicts no pain.
Halter pulling is very common
among horses that are improperly
handled. Fortunately the remedy is
simple and effective, breaking up the
habit in very short time. Fasten
long rope to the halter, slipping the
loose end through the ring. Pass the
unengaged end of the rope between
the forelocks and then over the back,
bringing it over on the other side anG
fastening 1t to the rope, between the
forelegs, in a slip knot. When the
horse pulls on the halter the large
moose tightens up on its body, and 1t
soon gives up the pulling. Another
good way to fasten the rope is to tie it
to one Of the hind legs. II the horse
pulls, 1t simply pulls itself of Its feet.

A SPIRIT BOOSTER.

There has been for years more or less extended
practice among gamblers In the stock corporations
of going to mediums" who give them "tips" on
what to buy and what to let alone this information
coming from more or less well informed inhab-
tant of the spiritand" transmitted to prospective
purchasers for a consideration. If the one getting
the tip followed it and won, the spirit" was vind
Gated and the infallibility of advice from the
"spiritland" shown. If the purchaser lost on
the speculation, we don't know just what the spec
ulator did, but the spirit evidently had been mis-
informed as to the movement in the stock upon
which he gave advice.
The knowledge that great many gullible peo-
pie sought the advice of mediums to get advice on
stock transactions led thrifty German promoter
to enter into connivance with a medium, whereby
a company he was boosting should have the support
of the spirit advisers who talked through the me-
dunn. Strange as it may seem, the booster chose
the spirit of the late lamented Martin Luther to
give advice on the value of his stock Until a ma
teraistic police force and judiciary took the mat
ter IN hand, it is reported that some 100000 worth
OF the stock was bought on stout old Martins adj
vice. The Society for the Study of PsychicaI Pbe-

would take up the subject and find out lust how
