Wife and Mother.

Corbett, in his we'll known book.
"Advice to Young Men" gave the fol,
lowing advice on choosing a wife:
There are comparatively few women
not replete with maternal love, and
by-the-bye, take you car If you meet
with a girl who is not fond Of chill
dren,' not to marry her by any
means. Some few there are who
even make a boast that they cannot
bear children that is, cannot endure
them.
81 never knew a man that was
good for much who had a dislike to
little children; and I never knew q
woman of that taste who was good
for anything. I have seen a few in
the course Of my life, and I have new
err wished to see one Of them a second
time Home Notes.

GET POWER
The Supply Comes From Food.

If we get power from food, why
not strive to get all the power we can.
That is only possible by use of skill
fully selected food that exactly fits
the requirements Of the body.

Queer.
From not knowing how to select
the right food to fit my needs, I suf-
fered %grievously for a long time from
stomach troubles" writes a lady from
a little town in Missouri.
1T seemed as II | would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything
that | could eat would stay on my
stomach. Every attempt gave me
heartburn and filled my stomach
with gas. I got thinner and thinner
until | literally became a living skele-
ton and In time was compelled to
keep to my bed.
"A few months ago I was persuad-
ed to try Grape-Nuts food, and 1t had
such good effect from the very begin
ming that I have kept up its use ever
since. 7 was surprised at the ease
with which l digested it. II proved
to be just what I needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heartburn, the inflated feeling which
gave me so much pain disappeared.
My weight gradually increased from
9S to 116 lbs, my figure rounded out,
my strength came back, and l am 0
able to do my homework and enjoy
it. Grape-Nuts did it,"
A ten days trial will show anyone
some facts about food.

did not intend that their trailing
skirts should be worn walking.
Although this mode for drawing in
closely just below the knees the
draperies both of nantes and Of
gowns can scarcely be recommended
on the score of grace, there is yet
something to be said in its favor as a
draught excluder, ard the curious
way in which the full draperies of
soft sapphire blue velvet are drawn
down and held in place by two bands
of ermine, is very characteristic of the
mode of the moment .-Philadelphia

BABY'S EYES.

Tell me, baby sweetheart,
What would a mother do
With those shining eyes,
Like the summer skies,
That are stepped in the morning dew?
Tell me, oh, my baby.
What should a mother do
With 4 curly head
And lips so red,
Dyed to loves own hue?
Snail she cover them over with kisses;
Shall she kiss the smiling eyes
I, And the crimson tips
OF the fragrant lips
With love that never dies?
Search We the whole world over,
There is nothing half so sweet
As the fond alarms
/ Of baby's arms.
And the patter of little feet:
The touch of c%linging fingers,
The sound of a lisping voice,
And the going to bed
Of a drowsy head,
To make the heart rejoice.

ENGLISH BANKING
FADS EXPLAINED

Changes in the fashions and the ex-
tension of the week end holiday have
their effect, as we'll as important f.
nancal transactions, upon the changes
of the bank-note circulation of Eng
land, according to the latest of the
publications of the National Monetary
Commission.
Especially interesting is the exhibit
regarding the English system. 1t was
stated by the officers fthe Bank of
England, in the interview conducted
under the, direction of Senator Aid
rich, chairman of the commission,
that there has been a steady decrease
of late years in the volume of business
conducted in London on Saturdays,
and the amount of the notes with
drawn from the Bank on that day is
now, as a general rule, very much less
than on the other days of the week.
On Mondays notes are withdrawn
in larger quantities than usual in or
der to replenish tills after the reduc-
ton in the amounts held on the pre-
vious Saturday, while on Fridays, also,
the Withdrawals are above the average
to meet the demands occasioned by
weekly payments, such as wages, etc.
The large totals at the beginning OF
August-of late years generally the
maximum for the years. due to
Withdrawals for holiday and harvest
purposes, while the low figures which
usually occur in the middle of Feb
ruary may be attributed to the aD-
the fact that reaction after Christmas,

yesterday turned the tide and gave us
a surplus instead of deficit"
The speakers were Chairman Sere-
no Payne of the House Ways and
Means Committee and his two chief
lieutenants, John Dalzell of Pensyl-
vania and Henry S. Boutelle of Illinois.
They were congregated in Payne's
comittee room, and they spoke in
unison and most enthusiastically Of
the success of the new law.
"The surplus Of receipts over ex-
pendtures at the close of business
last night" said Boutelle speaking for
the three, was $122,452. Subtracting
from this the 100000 received on ac-
count of the corporation tax, and
which is in litigation, we have a net
surplus of $4,000 in round numbers,
which is absolutely gilt-edged.
Considering that the Payne law
did not go into effect until August 5,
1900 we consider that it has made a
remarkable showing, the most ex-
traordinary, indeed, ever made by any
tariff law. 1t shhould be borne in
mind,' he continued, shat this sur
plus has been attained in the face Of
most extraordinary expenditures, the
principal of which was made on ac-
count of the Panama canal.
During the period in question $22,-
100000 has been paid out of the gene
raj fund for the construction of the
canal, and that will be reimbursed by
bonds"
Messrs. Payne ,Dalzell and Boutelle
united in the prediction that the en-
tire deficit would be wiped out be-
