HOW TO MAKE WORK EASY.

At best houSework is a drudgerv.
 The man who supplies the home with 1 the necessities of life, little realizes
 the nerve taxing strain on the house. wife, the never ending routine <of daily duties which end only when the head reclines on the pillow in s1eep. No item for making this work easier should be neglected. Any article that
 promises to make housework r1ore
 endurable should be considered .an
 absolute household necessity.
 Every woman takes pride in tf7e
 home, and desires that the p&uz
 shall shine, and that the whole house
 shall have that neat appearances

IN THE MAKING OF LAWS
Rochester Democrat. }

The great number of lawmakine
 bodies provided for under our system
 or government gives full scope to the
 legislative instinct. Statistics shov
 that the flood of new laws is of greater proportions every year. The responsibility rests in part upon the rapid growth of population and inc consequent changes in conditions. na- tlonal, state and mAnicipaI. It is to De feared, however, that it is due in greater measure to the growth of th a lawmaking habit Nothing else WouI6 seem to explain the increase in inc number of bills introduced in con. gress from 20,S93 bills in the Fiftv- sixth congress to 44,366 in the Sixtv- hrst. or the introduction of abont !O,e0O bills in the special session now Tn progress. A statistician estimat tes that one new law is proposed in this country for approximately every OOO Of population, while England and her colonies are contented with one legislative proposal for every 77 ono of the population" One of the worst evils of the enormous mass of leeis- lation in this country is that mich of It IS of necessity drawn in haste

 American women take much greater risk in marrying men of con- tinental Europe than men of Great Britain, whose estimate of women is similar to our own.
