THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.

Most people put too little thought
and feeling into what they see and
hear. 1 would rather be blind and
deaf than be one of the people who
can see and hear, but do not. The
will to do and the power to think are
the life of your life. / want to help
my fellow men-to make them see
and hear as well as l do.-Helen

On the other hand 1t was claimed
in behalf of the brewers, that If this
peddling privilege were taken away
from them, and they were confined
exclusively to selling liquor to re-
tailers, they would be greatly injur-
ed in their business; that many
would have to close because brewers
from outside states could, under the
protection of the Interstate Com
merce Law, ship beer into any part
of this State and deliver 1t at the
houses of consumers.
1t was held that, in this way, the
brewing interests of Pennsylvania
would be practically destroyed for
the benefit of brewing interests in
other states.
Such were the arguments of the
partisans for and against Mr.. Ul-
erich's bill. When it came to vote
the bill was beaten by almost two
to one.

Pennsylvania will probably have
more motorcycles than ever this
year, as, in spite of weather condi-
tions, licenses have been taken out
for 2,150. Last year the total num-
ber of such licenses granted was T.
314, or about $500 more than in the
previous year. 1t is believed that
with the advent of warm weather the
applications will leap. Thus far the
State automobile authorities have is
sued 36,50 licenses for automobiles.
If the Rev. Billy Sunday makes as
big a hit in Harrisburg when he
goes there for a brief sojourn dur

he has the past week in Columbus,

that time professed Christianity un-
der his sermons, among them pro-
prietor of three hotels and an enemy
of the hotelman who had once tried
to kill him, the two walking side by
side down the "sawdust trail" AS
many as 10000 persons have attend

has been petitioned by the people
of Columbus to continue the services

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner Did any of you ever visit the state library in Hartford and the capitoI , IT not you have lost a great deal out of your life, l think, for l had that pleasure recently To see the large dome lighted up with it's hundreds of e!ectr1c lights the glsten of it's mar Die pillars and floors, the old guns and rifles and the seal of Connecticut.
 It Is real pleasure to visit the up- per part and see the senate cha ambar the old Charter Oak chair, in which so many different governors have saf the carpet woven to represent the seal or this state, to see the steel lockers where the different ones put their. clothing and private papers, and the different offices around the dome ana ladies parlor and meeting room
 Then we took the elevator apd in trice were up Cn the main b11iIdinU looking in every direction and seaiaS the large buildings of Hartford ana the views up and down the Connecti- cut river valley
 On a pleasant day can be seen Long Island Sound and it's islands
 Taking the elevator down and speed fly alighting at the bottom of the shaft, you feel thankful you are once more standing on a firm foundation
 On the floor at the entrance of inc main door is the seal of the state in laid in copper and hammered so flat that it seems tc have grown in those blocks of marble.

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.
Ysur Secret Thought.

Bcorr not the day of humble things, But make the small things serve the
 great Even the earth-wor1n finds it's wings In the dim cell it helps create. The common tasks which you must do, Seem insignificant and mean, But love them, and they bring to you A joy and glory unforeseen. The perfect good, for which you toll, Lies at the heart of simple deeds; AS virtue in the air and soil Lives in the flower and fruit it feeds. Ir the plain duties of your day, There sounds no trumpet blast of But straight along the duty way May run g. glory path of flame. A lofty spirit. brave and true, Gives wings to life's most sordid
 facts. The germ of greatness dwells in you, When 1t evolves in splendid acts. Your work has all the power and light, That burned within you, as you
 wrought; It holds the breadth and depth, and
 height
 And greatness of your secret

NEW FUNCTION OF WOMEN IN
 THE HOME.

It has been q long and devious route by which women have come into their new function, that of converting mon .eY, the essence of labor, into the things of life.
 Time was when both men and wo- men could learn wisdom from experi- ences of former generations; but a new age and new problems are upon us and there has been little or noth- ing in the past experience of the race, to prepare women for the new and perDlexing duty that now confronts them. Changes so profound have be- gun within the last few generations that the entire mode of human life has been altered.
 It would be difficult to decide which had been most profoundly affected. men or women by the changes that have taken place within the last cent ury.
 It was easily proved that the home itself is an evolution, subject 70 the same laws of growth and change that govern other institutions.
 Once the home and the world were one. women were the chief laborers. Women working in and around their homes were in charge of the indus tries that now comprise the world and of which men are now mainly in con- trol.
 It was the woman who was the spin ner, the weaver, the seamstress the tailor; she was cook and server, nurse and doctor. and she was the druggist who searched for healing roots and leaves and manufactured them into remedies for the sick. Truly, in those early days the world was her home and her home was the world. In ad- dition to all these labors, she was the mother and tender of children.
 In those early days the cost of living must have been fearfullys high, for the mistress of the home and her problems could only tbe solved by the most strenuous and painful exertions but if there were any complaint in those

A PRETTY FERNERY.

Dear Sisters: It has been long time since I wrote a letter to the Social Corner. Now I want to tell all you Cornerites about my ferns and wood sies which have made ready foI1 win ter enjoyment Some of you I know live where you can have all the pretty green growing things you want. I do not: but have the good fortune to live within trolley distance from them and can go out with basket and trowel into the very heart of things and help myself
 Let me tell you about what I am pleased to call my fern room. This is a small room at the end of the hall up- stairs. with two good sized windows one north. the other east. I have a long wire flower stand at north win dow filled with Christmas greens. rnosses of many kinds rattlesnake plantain and ever so much of the par fridge berry vine, with quantities of &right red berries which will keep bright red all winter if kept moist, and bed of the stand.
 It is so pretty and anybody can have one with very little trouble. My east window ledge is filled with pots of strawberries, taken up from the gar den last week. I expect they will give me some bright red berries in Febru- ary: both ornamental and good to the taste. This is something which I have experiTnented with before, and know the glad surprises they have given ma
 On one side of this window are two brackets. On one side is a pot of fine dark parsley-so feathery and pretty couldn't bear to let the frost kill it Resting on a bed of moss, in a glass dish with a little water. are several very small turnips, carrots and sweet potatoes with their delicate, beautiful green sprouts all over them. Words will not express their beauty. I go into ecstasies over them.
 This bracket suggests many other possibilities, but I have to be content and enjoy what I have
 On a low bracket on the other side of the window is a box with morning RIories just beginning to climb Just imagine what they will be when they fill my window with their pink. white and blue blossoms. So much for my windows.
 In the darkest corner of the room is a large flower stand filled with every conceivabl ble kind of ferns that the woods produce. Large ferns in pots on. the floor. small ferns, even the little polypods. are tucked in in every possi- bIa space. My Christmas ferns are quite as pretty in their way as are the

days of what it cost to live, they have not come down to us. If there ever was time when such complaint would be fairly made, it was then.
 Gone forever are those early days of stern privations, of arduos toll and pain.
 To come down to more recent times within the memory of our grandpar- ents, women were still producers, and the home a busy place, a factory, in deed. The whirr of the spinning wheel and the swish of the dasher in the churn, were familiar sounds. Candle moulds dyepots, distilling vessels were familiar sights; the kitchen garden was an important part of the family economy
 Conditions have greatly changed, those former laborS of women have be- come vast money-naking industries under the control of men. Great roar ing machines now work tirelessly to make our cloth, our butter, our light.
 Where once the toughened mus cles of patient women furnished sur f1cient power, now men with sweat stained blackened faces stand shovel ing coal into the maws of fiery furn- aces, making motive power to turn the wheels of industry.
 Thus has the world broadened for men. by taking all this work from the home that they might earn the money
 
 such ends did men build highways of steel and man them with steeds ot iron and steam, that the wool might be carried to mills where waited ma chimes to dye, and spin and weave the wool into such patterns or beauty as will please the eye.
 All this activity came from taking the spinning wheel away from pfoluc- CTS into buyers, instead of dipping candles sine must now contriVe to pay the gas bill
 The function of woman has changed In marriage under present condi- tions the man Is the power furnishing motive power, the woman the helms man helping to steer the boat. Their cargo is the house hold goods, and lat CT on the family Blind and foolish is the rower who refuses to tell his mate the speed and progress of their course.
 This is the peculiar problem of wo- men under present social conditions, to spend money so wisely that com fort and helpfulness to all concerned will result It is the problem of the workingman's wife. the wife of the business man, and the wife of saIarled and professional men.
 As for the class living in rented apartments, forced to buy every thing from the use of shelter to the last par ticle of food this class is subject to many many temptations in money spending. the opportunities for lux uries and paying on time, these some times make easy the road that leads to ruin.
 Surely. the successful solving of this problem is worthy the best intelll- gence Is there any doubt, that once the full significance of the new situ- ation is realized, women will prove themselves worthy of thre trust and high honor involved in the new func- tons?
 Surely, to be exempted from such arduous toll as the brave and fearless women of the past endured and in It's place to be made guardian of the purse, Is cause for gratitude It Is an emancipation for gratitude surpas- ses the widest dreams of the mothers of our race.

 Many thanks to the Sisters of the Social Corner who have sent me Thanksgiving cards.

mouth shut. Do you swim? Do you remember when you learned and did you have a teacher? If so, the first instruction was to keep your mouth shut. If you struggled along alone 1t must have been taught to you by disagreeable experience for it was necessary for you to grasp that fact somehow before you made much head way.
 When In rough water keep your mouth shut. Do you see how that ap plies to the struggle on the voyage of life?
 Waves will come, though, perhaps, when you start out there may be only nipples on the tide of your ex- istence. Don't deceive yourself: keep your mouth shut.
 Adverse winds of misfortune will lash the waters about you to a fury more or less often, and then Is the time to apply my advice and do it early.
 Keep calm: breathe regularly; don't try to get your footing, it Isn't there.
 Straighten out and don't splash; the more you struggle the deeper you go. Never mind the shore, that's out of reach. Bend every energy towards meeting with perfect sef1control, this one next wave. Don't think about the tenth, or the theusandth for you there Is only one ,and that's this one..
 Take long strokes. Give yourself that tiny, almost imperceptible rise with which every good swimmer meets the incoming wave. Kick! Kick wig orously and regularly. There is no headway made without it, Never forget tb kick
 These things are not learned at once! Oh, no! Some people never learn them; but then some people never learn to swim. They splash and choke and drown. Some will learn partly, but the most of them fail on that one essential thing of keeping the mouth shut. The rest is of no avail if you neglect this.
 When in rough water keep your mouth shut; and don't forget to ap- ply this advice In all troubles of life.

Nearly every girl has an accunula- ton of leather postal cards which may be combined with unstarched burlap to make very attractive pillow cover. For an ordinary sized pillow, about one-haIf yard of burlap is necessary. This can be obtained in dark green, dark red or brown. It is sufficiently wide to fold over to form the back of the cover. Nine postals are required, but more may be used if liked. Lay the burlap out flat and pin the postals to the side meant for the top, ar ranging them artisticaliy- Then eat stitch" them to the eurlap with heavy
