Need Not Be Drudgery.

Young American women would do
well to heed the words of a recent
lecturer on household economies. who
said that housework need not neces-
sarily be drudgery. She says it is not
drudgery, once it's technique is mas
tered. any more than dancing or piano
playing or acting or singing are dis
agreeable tasks, once the girl has
mastered the basic principles OF each
of those arts. Housekeeping is rela'
lively simple when one knows how
The difficulty is that few take the
trouble to learn how. If the same In
telligence and persistence are used
as are employed in mastering any OF
the other accomplishments. after the
learning period is over, the practice
ia comparatively easy. There is a
period of drudgery in acquiring any
art. no matter what it is, and no one
can expect to master housekeeping or
music either who Is not willing to
submit to the necessary period OF
training. But ease comes with know
ing how and disposing OF the duties
in a clear-headed, systematic, scien-
tific manner-Exchange.

London.-The election of the prince

heir to the throne the youngest club

the Marlborough has always been the

with its formation, was an almost
daily frequenter there as prince of

his accession.

the iron top rail, and, exerting all his
strength, he slowly pulled his body up,
until he fell forward into the drivers

avert disaster. He had the reins in
his grip when the swinging pole struck
the steep side of the bluff swapping
off with a sharp crack, and fiinging
down the frightened animals, the
wheels crashing against them, as the
coach came to a sudden halt. Hamlin
hung on grimly, flung forward to the
footrail by the force of the shock, his
body bruised and aching. One horse
lay motionless, head under, apparently
instantly killed; his mate struggled to
his feet, tore frantically loose from
the traces, and went flying madly
down the slope, the broken harness
dangling at his heels. The Sergeant
sat up and stared about. sweeping the
blood from a slight cash out of his
eyes. Then he came to himself with a
misunderstanding instantly what it
all meant, why those men had cut
loose the horses and ridden away,
why the wheelers had plunged for

Blankets Grow on Trees.

Blankets grow on trees in Ecuador
and while the idea of an all wool, fresh
from the forest, bed covering might
give insomnia and backache to the
child of civilization who likes to snug
gle comfortably under several lay
ers of down and wool, the natives find
it all right as in fact it Is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants a
blanket, he hunts up demajagua tree
and cutc from it a five or six foot
section of the peculiarly soft, thick
bark. This is dampened and beaten
until the flexibility of the sheet is
much increased.
The rough gray exterior is next
peeled off and the sheet dried in the
sun. The result is blanket, soft,
light and fairly warm, of an attrac.
tive cream color. 1t may be rolled
into a compact bundle without hurt
and with ordinary usage will last for
several years.
