The Weddina Ring.

The little circlet Of gold, so dear to a woman as the token of the affec- tion of the man she loves has its origin in very ancient times. Its very shape, without beginning or end, is symbolic of constancy and indicative of the true and lasting love which is the foundation of a happy union. Thus the gift of ring has come to mean more than an ordinary gift of friendship with all nations, and so inn portant an event as the giving of an engagement ring has in some districts given rise to superstitious observ- ances.
 In former times the ring was given as the betrothal and was then worn on the fourth finger of the right hand. till the bridegroom transferred it to the fourth finger on the left, at the instruction of the priest. ou the we'd ding day.

A housewife who makes her own table linen and towels has hit o1 a trick to lessen the labor She adjusts a small hemmer and a fine needle on her sewing machine, removes the thread from the upright ard runs the napkin or whatever it is, previously cut by the drawn threads through the hemmer. This simple method of turning the hem and pricking the stitch holes makes the handwork very easy. Running the cloth through the machine, too, takes out the stiffness

Institutes Help tn. Farmers.

Farmers institutes are to be found In many states and are doing much to improve the lot of those who cultivate the soil. The first of these institutes was established many years ago, but the movement for adopting the plan in as many communities as possible was not begun until about 1895. The institute resembles university exten- sion work. and is of great value in educating the farmers and giving them an opportunity for an exchange of ideas. When the farmers meet they are addressed by experts, who tell them of the latest advances fin the various departments of agriculture and give them pointers regarding the improvement of live stock and the SC. lection of seed.

EASY TO THREAD NEEDLES
Useful Device That Should Fino Place in Every Woman's
 Work Basket.

Here is a useful device invented by a clever woman. It should have place on every woman's sewing table. Get a block of wood two or three inches square, a double pointed tack Cike the kind used in matting) and small fold ing reading or magnifying glass.
 Open the glass and lay the cover on top of the block of wood, let the glass project it's full size over the size of the block, then fasten in place with the tack. If a block of wood is not ob- tianable use an empty spool of basting thread size.
 When you want to thread small sized needle hold the needle and the thread under the glass and you will have no trouble in getting 1t through the eye. When you use the machine tip the block over near the needle and save time and trouble there also.
 These blocks are invaluable for elderly women and those too busy to bother with threading and unthread- ing needles continually. A good plan is to thread before starting to sew all the needles with their different kinds of thread and silk that you are likely to have use for.

The hoop pole mar follows along the wake of the loggers He barbers the face of the hillside oi stun that no one else wants. He Is after the second growth, as the young birch and ash are called which spring up around the rotting stumps of great trees.
 The hoop pole man takes a horse with him on his tours. He cuts the poles and the horse hauls them to camp by daylight. Evenings the pole man fashions the hoops with a draw shave, sitting beside a roaring fire and pulling at his black pipe. Sometimes the poles are sold round, but the har- vester who trims his own stuff and slaves the hoops receives two or three cents each for the finished prod. uct. and that pays.

ScANT ALLOWANCE OF SOAP
Rooms to Get Hands and Face Washed.

When Fairmount inn was opened among its first patrons was Captain Stringer of Marshby. He had long been friend of Captain Larrabee, the father of the young proprietor of the new inn, and he wished to see for himself what kind of a tavern Eddy would keep"
 He was taken to one of the pretti- est rooms, where the proprietor's wife awaited his opinion. He looked silent ly at all the modern innovations, but when he was at last asked to admire the pretty bathroom adjoining his bed room, he spoke his word.
 "Is that little square cake O soap all that goes with this fit-out?" he in quired, indicating the cake in its nick ell holder
 Why. yes" said the young woman. One cake for each room, new foi each guest, of course"
 Well. now. see here" said the cap tain, confidentially. You and Eddy have got used to city ways, where it's all style. and save in what don't show; but let me tell you one thing. you're liable to have a good many folks from Marshby and all around, that knew the cap'n, and wish his young folks well. Now you furnish up few rooms with some good liberal bars O soap such ss we're used to.
 It'll cost ye a little more, but twill come to more'n it costs on advertis ing. You wouldn't want your fathers old friends to tell that they had tc hire three rooms at Fairmount inn to get them good face -and-hands wash, now would ye?"-Youth's Companion

Telling Trees By Wire.

A German inventor has discovered way to fell trees by incandescent wires. His invention consists of an ordinary steel wire one millimeter in diameter, with a small attachment worked by a motor The wire saws rapidly and evenly through the tree trunk. being heated to the burning point by the friction. During the first trial of the Wire-cutter a tree 40 inches thick was cut through in less than six minutes One of the advan- tages of this machine is that 1t cuts a tree close to the ground, or in the ground, through the roots. It produces steam instead of sawdust, and leaves clean. smooth cut covered by a layer of charred wood so extremely thin as to show through 1t the record. ed age of the tree.

TRAINING THE SHEPHERD DOG
Animal Has Real Commercial Value on Farm and in Proper Hands
 Becomes Object of Affection.

A successful trainer of farm dogs
 says that his method is to take the
 pup after the cows when it is not
 more than. four weeks old If 1t is
 not able to walk. carry it. By and by it can waddle along part of the way.
 Let it do what it can, but see that it does not get tired out. Have a spe
 cial care, too, that it does not get hurt, writes Bessie L. Putnam in the
 Ohio Farmer. If it should get fright ened or hurt it may be made timid and of little service in later years. As it gets older it will some day run up and bark at COW. and the COW will run After that. it is the whole thing in COW driving; your business then is to restrain. If it inclines to run to the head of the animal, fasten a long cord around it's neck. and you can then keep 1t in the rear Our in- formant states that he never but once had trouble in this way. That time the COW stepped on the rope almost the first thing. making it impossible for him to bring the dog back to it's place; the next jump happened to be upon the dog. That was a decisive lesson! The dog learned then that its place was not at the animals head.
 The shepherd is naturally a guar dian. Even with no training it will pick up many habits emphasizing this fact. It is naturally friend. and the friendship is cemented with the years by kind treatment. But unkindness is even more impressiorable, and no dog Is more easily spoiled. If punishment Is necessary, more than one or two blows should not be given, and the manifested penitence should then be met with caresses of forgiveness. A well trained dog has real commer- cial value on the farm, and in proper hands it also becomes an object of real affection.

Evening Wraps.

Many of the new evening wraps, particularly the broadcloth ones, are almost in Louis XIV. style, with a rather tight belt around the waist and long slashed sleeves with lace ruff f1es. Empire wraps are also seen. mostly in chiffon and linon and match ing the frock, or else in black. Mauve is another general favorite for these. Gilded evening coats of corded silk are a pretty novelty, and so is pink crepe, lined with black chiffon or soft silk. These last-named capes are usually draped in one of the charm ing fashions which have the advan- tage to the home dressmaker of being simplicity as well as beauty itself.

Checked Goods.

A very pretty idea for trimming a blouse or frock of small checked goods is to work the alternate squares in solid stitch, using either white, the color of the check or some other color. as desired. Wall-of-troy border patterns can be worked in this way, simply using the squares as guiding lines. With a featherstitched Pierrot collar of white lawn, a pretty blue and-white or pink-and-white check challis. for instance. would then be complete.

WOMEN FIRST RULERS
MAN MERE INCIDENT IN MISTY
 AGES OF PAST.
Since Domination of Lord of Creation World Has Steadily Progressed In Essences and Cruelty,
 Says Prof. Clark.

Women were the first rulers of th' world, and since the domination o man the world had progressed stead ily in cruelty and baseness, said Prof w. E. Clark of the University of Chi cago.
 That long before the advent ot Christianity women reigned and mar was merely an incident, the speaker declared. and added that at that time the world was less harsh and more sympathetic.
 Prof. Clark pointed out how man gradually. in the course of centuries the use of his greater animal powers and after supplnnting her as ruler enslaved her.
 He declared that woman's rule be gan with the origin of the very dawn of civilization itself.
 In the first state of primitive man he said, the relationship between fath- yer and child was not known: the right of the mother to her children was un- disputed.
 He said that the father. having no part in the family, remained wan derer. leaving the mother in full con .trol. However, infants were helpless and eventually love was born and man admitted to the sacred precincts of civilization and organized society.
 T am not relating these facts for the purpose of censuring man, but to show the result of humanity of re- ligion that exalts one sex above an other. I think we are justified in wondering what would have been the result if Jehovah had been a woman.
 ''If the feminine principle had dom mated the Jewish conception of deity. I do not believe that history would have recorded some of the things ] have referred to. If the mother spirit had been given the first place in re- ligion, human life would have been far more highly developed than 1t Is today. I do not believe that there would have been any modern wars of conquest waged against neighboring tribes.
 q do not believe there is any ex- cuse for poverty in the midst of abun dant wealth. There is no natural req son for the continuance of extreme poverty in this or ip any land. And am inclined to the opinion that uni versal belief in the motherhood of God would have been far more bene- ficial to the race than has been the belief in the fatherhood of God" d."-Chi- cago Correspondent Indianapolis News.

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN
People Who Never Change Their Minds Have Magnified Opinion
 of Their Wisdom.

"I never change my mind" I once heard an old woman say.
 And from the way in which she said it she seemed to be quite proud of her attitude.
 The funny part of it Is that the peo- pie who never change their minds nearly always have a magnified opin- ion of their wisdom. They would be very much upset if they realized that others probably much better in- formed than themselves considered them merely obstinate and foolish
 But they seldom. if ever. see them selves in this light. so they continue to map out their lives in the same narrow groove. until perhaps one day they waken up, and. to their amaze ment. find themselves left far behind people whom they looked down upon as ignorant.
 "A wise man changes his mind; a fool never" says an old proyerb. and we should always keep this before us as a mental danger signal.
 She simply won't be taught" have often heard people say Don't let anybody say it of you in future. It is the people who are always will ing to learn who get on best In this world.
 If we keep our minds open as well as our eyes and ears we shall find that we are never too old to change our minds. and that we can learn something from everybody. even if it is only what not to do.-Home Chat.

Three Great Danish Clans.

The Danish government recently found it necessary to grant heads of families the privilege of changing their names if they feel so disposed without mourning any legal costs. This Is necessary piece of legislation, for the population of Denmark is divided into three great clans-the Hansens, the Petersens and the Soerensens In one town of 25.000 inhabitants over four-fifths bore one or the other of these names. Many of these have taken advantage of the new law and assumed more distinctive names.

ONE WAY TO PRESERVE EGGS
Effective Plan Is to Immerse Them in Solution of Sodium Siicate
 or "Water-Glass."
(Rx R. M. WESTO

|
 The primary principle to be obsery- ed in the preservation of eggs is the protection of the interior from con, tact with the air. The most effective way of doing this is to immerse them in water solution of sodium silicate, usually known as 'water-glass." So dium silicate can be obtained from any druggist at from 45 to 60 cents per gallon One gallon should be suf- iicient for about 50 dozen eggs.
 Mix one part of the sodium silicate with from ten to twelve parts of water. Some water-glass is so thick that, with this dilution. the eggs will float In such a case, add enough nore water to make them settle to the bottom of the liquid
 Use only clean water, from which the air has been removed by boiling, Be sure that it is cold before mixing it with the water-glass.
 Pack the eggs in a jar or clean wooden keg, and add the preserving solution in sufficient quantity to cover the eggs. No part of the shell should be exposed to the air
 The packed eggs should be kept cool. A cellar is the best place for storing them. Pack only strictly fresh eggs. Stale eggs will not keep for any length of time under any con- ditions, and they may affect the fresh eggs which are packed with them.
 Do not wash eggs before packing them. Washing removes from the shell the miculaginous coating with nature provides for their temporary preservation.
 Eggs preserved in this way retain their original fresh flavor perfectly, they are not discolored, the yolk re- tains its normal consistency for sev- eral months.
 Other methods of preservation, though less satisfactory in their re- suits, will keep eggs for from three to four months in such condition that they may be used for cooking pur- poses. A preserving mixture whicA has given fair results is made up of BE pounds of fresh lime mixed witt "A pounds of salt, and the whole dis solved in eight gallons of water.

Cheap Cuff Links.

Cuff links of good quality are far from inexpensive. and the inferior ones mounted in brass are apt to stain ones linen. A good substitute is to purchase the pretty pearl but tons which sell two for cents; choose either the kind with shanks or with holes. Whatever style is chosen, bind them in pairs with a loop of silk cord to form sleeve links They will be found serviceable and neat But tons that have been rubbed are not so desirable, as washing destroys the luster of the pearl.

A New One on Him.

A youth from Calhoun county, HI nois, which has nothing but steamboat transportation, came over to Ellsberry Mo, the other day to catch a Burling ton train to st, Louis.
 He had never seen train, and when the Hannibal local came rolling in he stood there gaping, watched 1t hiss and steam, and finally pull out.
