Your Temper and Your Cats.

Cats are of high strung and sen sitive nature, easily influenced by their surroundings. If you wish fine tempered, nice little home loving cat you must possess some of these at tributes yourself.
 You cannot expect to have very amiable animal If you are cranky all the time. Give the animal credit for being a good imitator. If you are vile tempered and given to striking the kit ten, find no fault if the cat has like manner and strikes people and smaller animals. Animals.

 THf ETERNAL NOW.
year.

The yesterdays are dead; the tomorroWs are unborn-it is today alone that is ours, that is ever with us and that makes up our lives and eternity as single grains of sands make up the boundless beach of the seas. Born beneath two heart beats and dying as instantaneously; filling the space between the limit less past and the limitless future without ever merging into either; passing with the swiftness of a Weavef's shuttle and like it fashion ing the fabric of our lives; dropping one by one into the ocean of time as precious pearls might slip from silken cord into some fathomless lake; as unfaltering in it's flight as the motion of the earth on it's axis, and ever bearing our life with it from one eternity to another there is nothing so real. nothing more elusive than this period of time which we call today
 Life for day is but an epitome of lifetime. We wake in the morning with no knowledge of where our souls have been wander ing while the senses slept; with fresh vigor and interest enter upon the occasion of our daily work and fulfill our duties with an energy that begins to fail as the evening shadows lengthen; as darkness deepens weariness comes upon us and at last we are glad to lay aside our work and cares and to surren- der ourselves to the sleep that spirits our course back agan into the unknown.
 Each day has it's own allotted task-no more. It is only wher we go beyond that which is giver us for the day and force the mind and body to do things not worth while; when we are not content to bear the evils of the day, but hauass ourselves with anticipation of those the future may bring when we are not satified with the daily bread for which One wiser than we taught us to pray, but strive to lay up a useless surplus to leave behind; when the pleasures that were given US to enjoy in whole some moderation degenerate into wild excess-it is only then that outraged nature takes revenge for the neglect of her laws, and sanita- riums and lunitio asylums are filled with victims of ill-regulated lives.
 Today is small space only a lightning flash in the dark. But of all the uncharted ocean of eternity it is all that IS really ours. Today exacts little of us, but as we do that little we'll or i'll we weave the warp and wool of our success or failure in life. The duties of today are small, but as our todaYs add into each month and year and life time, our daily deeds too aceumu- late into mighty forces for good or ill.-Ex.

KEEPING THE LOOK OF YOUTH
Parisiennes Are. Probably the Most Successful in This, But Many May
 Achieve It

A Russian princess who has attract and who is considered one of the best dressed women in that city, declares that nothing ages a woman's appear ance so much as the old-fashioned method of pushing the flesh up above the corset.
 How few women who have passed the dangerous" age stop to think of this, yet is it not true? The settled look that comes with middle age is enhanced by stiff-eorseted figure above the waist.
 Put money into a good corset, have it fitted sitting down, and in adjust ing it be sure to pull it far down and gird 1t firmly round the hips.
 Many women find as they grow older they must have their evening gowns cut high. This need not be done if care Is taken to get a corset that has a low bust.
 From Paris comes another hint about youthful looks. A famous dressmaker says that real lace ages women and should never be worn near the face.
 The Parisienne has learned to fight age more successfully than most women because she pays heed to de tails that to others seem trivial. She makes a study of line, angle and color, and who will say the results are not worth the trouble?
 It is every woman's duty to keep young looking. The worst way to do 1t IS to feign youth through cosmetics or kittenish manner!-Cleveland Leader.

BENEFIT OF CROP ROTATION
When Proper TIiiass Methods Ar
Followed Crops VIII Suffer Lsss
From Dry Weather.

CBy r. c. DoNEaHuE. Professor Of
Agronomy. North Dakota Agricultural
College.) IN 81
While all Of the causes Of low
yields of the small grains cannot be
removed. practically all that are OF
immediate importance can be con.
trolled in large measure by q well
planned system Of crop rotation
When crops are grown In rotation and
proper tillage methods are followed,
they will suffer less from dry weather
than when they are grown continnr
ously. Crop rotation ID usually Of
more Importance than the methods Of
tillage used in this respect. although
both are important. In most rotations
more roughage 10 produced than can
be disposed Of by the work stock on
the farm. Hence more animals must
be kept and more manure produced
to return to the land to keep up the
supply Of active organic matter.

Some Of these associations
look to physical, development
others to mental and moral.
and still others to both. In
a little book prepared BY an
association Of the last named
class. the writer recently
found this statement: Par
ents are as much responsible
for the selfishness Of their
children a. they are for their
existence" This rather en-
phatic statement led to quite
q discussion Of the matter
with the mother Of several
children, who told the writer
that she had been engaged
ever since her first born In
combating self1shness and
developing generous impulses
In her children. In relating
her experiences she told this
little story:
"At this season Of the year
my children got into the habit
Of expressing their desires
for particular Christmas gifts.
I did not tell them that II

press them tho idea that II they did not ask for
more than they should receive. that Is not selfish
they might get them With this admonition coupled
the idea that Santa Claus needed help especially reach
ing the poor the sick and the unfortunate. told my
children to help Santa Claus all they could every
year they have managed to discover poor child
sick unfortunate boy girl for whom they
provided gifts In thus helping Santa Claus they have
found much pleasure that they have quite forgotten
their desires beyond the expression them
They have least curbed their selhshness think
that have led them to be generous to
In this woman's experience lies more of practical
value than be found In all the books that pub
lshed by all the associations in chrisendom She got 1t
the root of the whole matter and she applied proper
remedy-a remedy that did not directly curb that did
punish but effected by indirecton the very result
that she wished to bring about How many parents are
today treating the selnshness Of their children in the
way! How need to treat their children in the
way? And how many easily begin even now by
encouraging their children to help Santa Claus?
