When shaking or cleaning rugs
never grasp them at the end, but all
ways at the side. In this way the
fringe is protected and ends do not

its best in millinery. 1t is curious

There is another hue verging on red

OUTLOOK FOR 1910.
Record Breaking Yields of Harvest
Made Firm Foundation.

New York City.-The year of 1909
was one of the most prosperous in the
country's history and the outlook for
1910 is of the brightest. Harvest
yields of record breaking value made
a firm foundation for the prosperity
of 1909, and afford solid basis for
that of the coming twelvemonth. The
output of mineral wealth also has
been record breaking and the great
basilar industries have made larger
returns than ever before to labor and
to the capital invested. The country
is blessed with peace and with free
dom from pestilence and disaster.
There are mutterings Of dissatisfac-
ton in the ranks of toilers because
wages have not kept pace with the
rise in the cost of necessaries of life,
but the discomfort is sporadic and the
general prosperity is such as to give
assurance that whatever differences
exist can be peaceably adjusted.

Color in Eggs.

A pure breel of fowls does not

ry. Even in some of the oldest
breeds the eggs will vary from a
dark brown to almost white.
Many beginners have mistaken
ideas along this line and are Of
ten disappointed in purchasing
eggs by their lack of uniformity
in color. Color of egg shells is
seldom considerd by breeders of
thoroughbred stock in mating up

color or plumage is considered
rather than the color of the egg

They cannot be expected to lay
eggs of uniform color. The pref
erence for a uniform color, while
desirable, is matter of taste,
and not an index to the quality
of the chicken the egg will pro-
duce.

Thoughts for Housewife.

1t is love that makes the world
go round, but too much loving
may cause the other half to go
off at a tangent.
To keep your paths straight
domestically keep your account
square, your love round, your
honor perpendicular, and your
temper never on the bias.
Blue thoughts after pink teas
and yellow views with black
nostrums may leave marks on
the whitest dispositions in the
family.
A merry heart doeth good like
medicine-but foolish mirth has
spoilt dinners and appetites.
Neither let bad deals shatter
your ideals nor your idols get
away with your ingots.
Don't let the altitude of your
pride change the attitude of your
friends nor the longitude of your
whims the latitude of the gossips.
All clouds may have silver lin
ings, but between a stubborn
man and willful woman in an
ill ordered home they may drift
a long time without showing it.
Generally it is up to the woman
to bring the man down to reason.
Long menus for weak 1ivers
and strong words for meak ma
lures are some of the microbs
of misunderstanding that threat
en- your learnings toward each
other.
