For a good, everyday house
hold angel give us the woman
who laughs. Her pastry may
not always be just right, and she
may occasionally burn her bread
and forget t o replace missing
buttons, but for solid comfort all
day, and every day, she is a very
paragon. Home is not a battle
field nor life one long, unending
fight. The trick of always see
ing the bright side, or, if the
matter has no bright side, of
polishing up the dark ones, is a
very important faculty; one of
the things no woman should be
without. We are not all born
with sunshine in our hearts, as
the Irish prettily phrase it, but
we can cultivate a cheerful sense
of humor if we only try.

Probably one-half Of the rude
ness of the youths of this day,
which later in life will develop
into brutality, is due to the fail
ure Of parents to enforce in the
family circle the rules of courte-
sy. The son or daughter who
is discourteous to members of the
family, because of familiarity
with them, is very likely to prove
rude and overbearing to others,
and very certain to be a tyrant
in the household over which he
or she may be called on to pre-
side.

Alfalfa is very long-lived; fields
in Mexico, it is claimed, have
been continuously productive
without replanting for over two
hundred years, and others in
France are known to have -four

It's usual life in the United
States is probably from ten to
twenty-five years, although there
is field in New York that has
been mown successfully for over
sixty years. It is not unlikely
that under its normal conditions

General Grants Early Days.

Mrs. Emma Dent Casey, writ
ing in the February Circle maya
zine of her memories of General
Grant, refutes o m e popular
legends, which have been cur
rent.
There is the famous story Of
Captain Grant living n such
poverty that he had to haul his
poor little faggots Of wood
through the city with an OK team
and blow on his ungloved fingers
to keep them from freezing.
The truth is that he and his
negroes cut the wood and h e
often sent one of them to the
city with a load to sell to the
families of a Mr.. Blow and Mr..
Bernard. Mr.. Bernard was the
brother Of my brother Johns
wife. During the Christmas hol-
idays one winter the negro who
generally drove the team 70 r
Captain Grant was i'll and there
was no one to send in his place.
The Captains st. Louis friends
sent him word that they were
out of wood, and accordingly, he
hitched up his team of white
horses to his big wagon, loaded
on the wood, and hauled it to the
city himself. He probably haul
ed several loads in this way. l
do not know how many. Any
other man with the same temper
of spirit and the same lack of
false pride would have done the
same.
On one of these trips, as the
Captain was driving along seat
ed on his load of wood, he sud-
denly came face to face with
General Harvey and his staff.
The General, resplendent in a
new uniform and gold trimmings,
eyed the figure of the farmer on
the wagon with establishment.
Then he drew in his horse, Capt.
Grant stopped his team, and the
pair smiled into each others
eyes.
Why, Grant, what in blazes
are you doing?" exclaimed Har-
ney.
The Captain, sitting comforta-
bly, atop his load of wood with
his ak and whipstock at his side,
shifted one muddy boot across
the other and drawled:
"Well, General, | am hauling
wood"
The thing was SO obvious anc
Grant so nervy that Genera
Harvey and his staff reared with
laughter. They shook his HAND
and joked with him and finally
carried him off to dine witt
