know are contained in it." Pilgrim S Progress was a favorite companion, also Burns poems, and the Life of George Washington was eagerly stud jed by him. It requires no stretch of the imagination to believe that to these splendid books was due in no small measure his steadfastness of purpose and great strength of character which meant so much to his country in her dark hours of trial. He was possessed with an abiding faith in God and be- lief in His guidance at all times which not only sustained him during the many perplexities and trials of the Civil war, but served also to give new hope and courage to those associated with him. Confident that it was the design of the Almighty to restore the union, he went forward hopefully when others were Gowncast, believing that the right would <win. In the crowded city, in the country crossroads, in the mountain towns, the name of Lincoln was an inspiration in those dark days of our country.
 One of his close personal friends has said: His public life was a continu- ous service to God and his fellowman, controlled and guided by the Golden Rule" His life story is replete with acts of kindness showing his sympathy with those oppressed or in trouble. Very beautiful is the story of his eff forts in behalf of William Scott, the worthy young soldier sentenced to be shot for falling asleep at his post.
 He is proclaimed by many to be the

AuromosaEs AND HORSES.

Thsrs is no doubt the automobile business Is booming and the horse and muls trade is showing no dlminu- tfon in numbers or value.
 The automobile shows are going on and it is said the outlook for 1911 safes Is quite as bright as that of last year; and 1t is claimed 90 per cent. of the orders for the 1911 autos is coming from the ceuntry.
 The returns from the horse mar kefs show that the demand for them wns never greater or the prices bet ter. From New York state buyers srs in the southwest to purchase brood marUs for eastern farmers. Draft an- fma1s are in good demand. Farmers ap giving more attention to horses and mules than at any time in the pest ten years.
 Kansas City received s9,62s head of horses and mules last year. compared with v.7s6 head the year before St. Jsosph's receipts were 27.5S3 head in 1910 and zs.132 in 1909. These figures indicate the extent of Improvement in the trade. which promises to be active for the balance of the season.
 Whom 1t comes to prices, We learn that for good grade mules southern plantsrs are paying from s10o to $25O a head according to height; and New York farmers arc investing in brood mafes costing as much as S250.

TO FAST EIGHTY DAYS.

pr. Henry s. Tanner, who is living in Los Angeles, and Juat 6nteEed upon his S2d year, has announced his inten- ton to fast again. this tine for eighty days instead of forty Back in the early eighties pr. Tanner, being then a man of some fifty-odd summers, came to the conclusion that the aver age man and woman ate too much. So he lasted for forty days, and all re- member very we'll how the medical Fraternity had no faith in the possi- bility of such thing being possible. Since then, several men have lasted 45 days, under strict medical obser- vation, working all the while. and apparently losing very little strength; i; here in Norwich men have lasted for 65 days. and less. for the restoration of health. and there have been sew eral indisputable cures. Dr. Linda Hazard of Washington. who has made a wonderful record of cures through the fasting process. has had patients fast for 75 days and perma- : nenTly cured chronic diseases: and one English physician has made a record of 12 weeks as the longest fast he ever subjected . patient to.
 This record fast entered upon by Dr. Tanner at the age of S2 ought to ex
 cite world wide interest, for it is something never undertaken by an octogenarian before and the convic- ton is that it can never be accom- plished.

NOT EASY TO REFORM COURTS.

They are trying to reform the mu- nicipal court of Chicago, and they notice that the court does not take kindly to the proposed changes. Chief Justice Olson of the court declares that the reform must be compelled from outside the courtroom, for he says:
 T. The lawyer, like the man in any other profession, likes to keep on do- ing things in the accustomed way. and is naturally opposed to changes.
 ''2. The more experienced the law yer is, the less inclined he feels to surrender the advantage. which his experience gives him through his com rnand of all the technicalities of pro- cedure. Were the procedure sinpli- fled he feels instinctively that large share of the benefits of his costly ed- 1lcation and experience would be vast ed.
 '9. The busy lawyer dislil1es the idea of having to master a new pro- cedure. He thinks he can't spare the time from his practice to learn"
 This shows very clearly that it is up to the people to make things go as they want them to go. and that they will not progress without an order which is recognizable as an order that must be obeyed.

Swedish Meat Balls.

Put one and half pounds of beef from bottom of round through meat chopper, or chop finely, add a piece of suet or salt pork and chop with the beef; add one cup of bread crumbs, tablespoonful of salt, 8 little pepper and little allspice; add half cup of water or soup stock, make into balls about one and half inches in di- arneter. Dipping hands in water makes it easier to mold them. Try out few slices of salt pork and fry balls in pork fat. Remove from spider and put on two tablespoonfuls of butter, same amount of flour, and stir until blend ed and brown. then pour on one and half cups of stock, if at hand, or water will do. Bring to boiling point and season with salt and pepper and a teaspoonful of kitchen bouquet, if like. Add balls to sauce, cover and let simmer half an hour or more.

Almost every one knows of the value of such com bination for darkening the hair and mak- ing 1t grow.

Flower GirdIes.

The correct choosing of a ribbon girdle should be controlled more by the form of girl than by her innate taste for prettiness.
 A stout girl should not wear a flower girdle which seems to better suit her sister of simmer stature and slender waist.
 Messaline or soft satin ribbon about six inches wide, should be chosen and cut into lengths to suit These are made up into soft crush belts. It should be longer if you wish it to droop in the front.
 The rest of the ribbon is made up into a large rosette resembling full blown rose. The larger flowers can be eight inches, the smaller six inches in diameter.
 In making the loops for flowers they should be two and a half to three inches long and almost IS loops to the smaller flower. while IS to 22 can be used in the larger.
 Tie the loops in double tiers on each side of the center. Then curl the whole to resemble flower petals made into . round shape.
 Purchase a bunch of yellow stamens from your milliner and add these to the center, bringing them through so they stand in different directions. Also add the green leaves so as to give a realistic effect.
 These girdles are worn mostly with lingerie frocks, and the large fluffy flower it worn a little to the left of the front.
 Any colo is chosen which will re- semble a flower in it's natural growth white, pink. deep red, yellow, or even the lilac color.

Adhesive Tape.

Few women realize all the uses to which one can put adhesive tape and no home should be without a supply of this material In appliquing motifs on lace or net it is much more efficacious to use the tape than to sew the pieces on separately. A small piece laid un- der each motif and pressed with a hot iron lasts the lifetime of a gown.
 Instead of hemming velvet or sew ing it on hat brims it is much better to glue 1t by placing the tape in the fold of the goods and pressing it against the rim.
 Manufacturers have found a way of making yards and yards of the chain stitch. criss-cross on muslin, to re- semble the background of the Irish lace by the use of adhesive tape. This having been dipped in sulphuric acid, is burned away in the oven and there is the lace foundation. On this are pasted the motifs with adhesive tape.

Stains Under Nails

There are various preparations sold by manfcures to remove stains under the finger nails. With careful laws, most of these can be relied upon, but if there is any doubt about a special preparation, substitute lemon juice.
 As stain remover it is excellent, and the woman who keeps half a lem on on the stationary washstand where she washes her hands rarely will have to blush for the unsightliness of her nails
 Oxalic acid is also good, but. is in- furious to some skins. It should be applied with a bit of cotton on the end of an orangewood stick. In using the lemon the tips of the fingers can be rubbed into sections of it. Later rinse well with clear water.
 Stains on the sides of the fingers are quickly removed with Ia moist pumice stone. This is invaluable to get off the first b1etches after preserv- ing, painting or doing any disf guring work. Tn cases where the skin under the nails has roughened a little pow dered pumice can be moistened with lemon juice and applied with an or- angewood stick.

Ostrich Bands. .

Cut ostrich feathers are now being made into bands for trimming hats and dresses. These come in all col ors that are adapted for street and house wear. They are uncurled and therefore can be taken out into the rain with safety. if you wish. They are light in weight and give the ef- feet of fur, which point speaks elo- quently in their favor.
 Ostrich bands edge some of the large hats of velvet or silk. The trimming is applied on the edge of the wide brims and usually there is little else required.
 Some velvet suits are shown with cuffs and long revers of this trimming. Grey on grey velvet, black on black by colors are most effective.
 Tho scarfs and muffs of feathers and fabric are beautiful. When you con- sider that bands are procurable by the yard there is no limitation to the many forms that the trimmings can take.

Care of Hair.

Keeping the hair pretty after one is past middle life is no easy task. If it does not darken to an ugly, muddy hue it Is quite liable to go into streaks and look lifeless. Blonde hair needs quite a different treatment from dark hair soaps used should be chosen with the idea of keeping the light tones in the hair. Sage, tar soap and excessive use of oily tonics should be avoided, as they all darken. Egg shampoo is not good for blonde hair for the same req son.
 Ammonia and soda brighten light hair, but they should be used with caution. as they are drying in their effects. A few drops in a shampoo is rarely injurious, but the effect should be closely watched, and if the hair appears to be getting brittle stop using aud the juice of a lemon added to the last rinsing of blonde hair will help to keep it's color.
 A good lotion for light hair is made of equal parts of honey and rhubarb steeped in three parts of white wine for "A hours. After straining the liquid is bottled and used as a lotion. To obtain the best effects the scalp is massaged with the mixture and the long hair wet with it. Wipe off the excessive moisture and allow the re- mainder to dry in.
 Another treatment for light hair is to add a small piece of washing soda to a shampoo of white castillo soap made into jelly. The piece of soda should not be larger than the thumb nail. If these proportions are closely followed it will be found that the hair will be light and fluffy.

 In picking out the new hat it Is a mistake to have the hair "done up" on purpose for this occasion.
 The hat you have selected may look stunning with the hair arranged by the hair dresser, but when fixed in the usual way the hat may prove aa- together unbecoming.
 It will probably then have to go back to the milliner to have a bandeau put on or to have the curl of the brim readjusted. Unless the hat be one for evening weAr, when the hair is arr ranged in Q fanciful fashion, it is all ways best to select ones millinery to suit the usual style of coiffure.
 Just arrange the hair simply and naturally and then select the hat that looks we'll when it is fixed that way.
