Why He Couldn't Sit Down.

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care of him.
The first pair Of knickerbockers were
secured recently. and 1t was proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement of knickerbockers,
and there was suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed, as
the little chap trudged happily along
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped on
again. Harry, you must sit down
Grandma, | can't. My pants is chok
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be
fore. Harry stood up during the re
mainder of the service.

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of tho Difference Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there Is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard of young married
women Of today and those OF the past
generation. How did the women of
the middle class OF q generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science Of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up gave the children weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals In
courses, but put al! the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made 1t easier for her by
doing likewise"

WALKING for Nerves.

The nerves suffer from want OF pure
oxygen. They run like network all
through the skin and when they are
overweight the skin Is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking Is an excellent
tonic for the nerves. 1t gives them
strength to control themselves.
II one has means or leisure, there
are plenty Of other more enjoyable ex-
ercises. But few forms are SO bene-
fetal as the regular daily jaunt of four
or five miles for obtaining good COM
