DON'T LOOK FOR FLAWS.

Don't look for flaws as you 60 through life;
And even when you find them
It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of the
light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
It 10 better far to hunt for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current life runs every way
To the bosom of Gods great ocean;
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers

And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe;
Remember it lived before you;
Don't butt al the storm with your puny
form.
But bend and let it fly DER you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whim to the letter.;
Some things must go wrong your whole life
long,
And the sooner you know it the better.
It is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And 60 under at last in the wrestlef
II wiser man shapes into Gods plan
As the water shapes into the vessel.

Hotel Labels on Trunks.

There is a secret code hidden IN
the hotel labels with which travellers
trunks On the Continent are so pro-
fusely decorated. Globe trotters are
aware that in Switzerland and in
other tourist countries porters or
walters stick bills or labels with the
name of the hotel on the luggage
when one leaves.
The trunks look very ugly at the
end of & trip and require a sound
washing. I have been told that the
place where these labels are stuck
and the way of putting them-up-
right or upside down or crosswise-
form an unwritten and suspected
character" F~orewarned, forearmed,
according to an English proverb.
These labels speak, and tell in the
mex hotel if the traveller is generous
or not, if good ''tips" are to be e1-
pected-in short, what the prey is
worth.-Notes and Queries.

Crime on Ono Page.

The segregation of all accounts Of
crime in a newspaper OF n page was
the idea presented to the Federation
Of Women's Clubs in annual session
at Rochester, N. Y, by Mrs. A. 9.
Fisk, newspaper and magazine writer.
The Federation, after Mrs. Fisk's
address, adopted resolutions In favor
of the plan, which, il adopted by
newspapers, would allow subscribers
to tear out the crime page Of the
paper before their children could read
of the murders, robberies, elopements,
divorces and other too frank. adult
doings.
II have talked with proprietors OF
the largest papers from the Pacific
Coast to Rochester" said Mrs. Fisk,
"and they are perfectly willing to
aggregate crime in their issues II the
people want it served that way.
"The colored Sunday supplement
Is an insult to intelligence that must
60. It is viciously crude, and the tone
Of it's influence fills the youthful mind
with unruly ideas. One good thing
shout it is that it is segregated, so
that parents may keep it from their
children If they wish. The papers
segregate baseball and other sporting
news, financial news and editorials;
why not crime?
1T should be the aim of the Fed
Grafton to create wholesome public
sentiment for cleaner newspapers, and
then the publishers will provide
them"
Mrs. Ina B%revoort Roberts, a New
York newspaper woman, said that
club women must learn that courteous
treatment of reporters pays, and that
abuse of newspapers Is a sign Of ig-
horance.

writer and organizer, died at her

FRAUDS UPON THE FARMER.
Secretary Of Agriculture Will Issue
Warning Against Various Schemes.


Warning Against Various Schemes.
Schemes to defraud the farmer
and the would-be farmer-meaning
tbs city man, who is attracted to the
country by specious advertisements
are receiving the attention of the De-
partment of Agriculture, and 1t Is
probable that Secretary Wilson In his
annual report will give a warning to
the over-credulous.
Vast tracts of almost pure sand
lefe after the cutting of the pine trees
are being advertised as farming lands
of the finest description; undrained
swamps are described as priceless pos
sessions, and all sorts Of inducements
arr held out to attract purchasers OF
these alleged worthless lands. A
favorite device is to set many thou
sands of slips or cuttings of fruit
trees on common range lands ircapa-
BILE Of producing anything better than
sage brush, and another is to offer to
the unwary seeds or bulbs of some
remarkable hybrid plant that will
produce thousands of dollars an acre.
The real character of these lands,
Agricultural Department officials
state, might easily be ascertained by
inquiry of the State authorities.
A few months ago the Department
bf Agriculture caused an investigation
into the merits of a berry which ad-
vertised to be a wonderful hybrid,
combining the properties of the rarest
fruits, but it was found that 1t had
little or no value as a fruit product.

MufYs Are Immense.

The new muffs r immense, and
often seem to use up all the fur the
owner has at her disposal, for her
throat is protected only by a little
conceit of fur. In other cases there
isn't enough fur even for the muf,
and it has to be pieced out with some
other material, such as velvet, satin
or chiffon. The essential point is the
size, not the material. These mon
strous mufs call aloud for large hats
to balance. them, and are tending to
check the vogue Of the small chapeau.

Proud Of American Accent.

At a dinner given this week at the
Hotel Ritz in London some one COM
mented on the fact that Lady Paget'
despite her years Of residence in Eng
land, had not lost her American &C
cent. To this Lady Paget replied:
"No, and I thank God I never will"
It is a curious fact that the three
most popular American women in
England-Lady Paget, the dowager
duchess of Manchester and Mrs. Corn
wallis West-retain their American
accent, and that their popularity with
the king and queen is largely due to
the fact that they have not endeav-
ored to ape the English mannerisms
of speech.-New York American.

Find Bones PrimevaI Man.

A prehistoric burying ground was
disclosed at Point Park Hill, Ohio,
when workmen unearthed the COM
plete skeleton of a primeval man.
The skeleton, according to DR.. E. F.
Snyder, a scientist and member of the
International Geographic Society,
shows marked deviations from that of
the present day human being.
The femur is curved like that OF
an ape, the \ibis is fiat at the joint
and the humerus has a p~erforation no
longer found. The skull slopes back
and the lower jaw protrudes.

Long feathers are not as fashion

The lavish use Of fur on both even

striking features Of the season.

New coats are nearly all ample and

White beavers are among the most
fashionable of evening hats. Ere

Crystals, whether as fringe. bu-
Cling or sewed on in tiny lines, are

one of the distinctive notes Of the
