Helps for The I7OuseW77e.

How often we hear women on the
farm complaising that while the
farmers work has been lightened by
lnventors of improved machinery. the
work Of the household remains just
about as heavy as Ia the days OF scytEes

"a man may work from sun to sun,
but woman, s work is never done. ="
This despairing wall may work all
right Ia some homes, but it is ia
necessary.
U It'll recent years it was true that
inventors directed their energies
chiefly 20 perfecting labor-saving DO
vices for men. probably on the theory
that men would more readily appre-
ciate and buy improved machinery
than women.

Two boys went out into an orchard
to get some apples. Ons OF them
picked up the apples that had fallen
on the ground while the other boy
climbed the tree and kept climbing
until he had gone to the top. In
reaching OUT for the finest apple on
the limb he lost his hold and tum6led
to the ground breaking a leg aud
otherwise 4mming himself up until
h had to 90 to the hospital for two
months.
One day when be was getting able
to hUbbe around the other boy called
to see him and said, Now Jim, If
you had stald on the ground like l
did you wouldn't have got fall and
a brokea leg"
"Yep" said jim, "that's so, but 1
would rather take the chance OF
broken leg and the best apples rather
than stay on the ground all TIE time
and eat wormy fruit"
Moral.-You can look a. this any
way you want TO. Stay down aud be
safe and satisfied with the inferior
things or climb aud take chances of
getting your neck broken trying to
get the best.
