All About The Child.

What would you say mother If
told your children arc not all to you?
But it Is never the less true. A
mother who starts the new life, that
of raising her children, is the high
est type of woman If she resolves
they shall not be all to her.
When she makes it the one CEN
ter of her life she wrongs herself
and does the child great injustice.
They are to be loved, petted, discip-
lined and educated.
When the time comes they are
free from parents, whether by death,
the law of work, or duty, those
children should have grown with the
center object of the selfish love, but
of reasoning love which in the new
field means the highest independence
that character and ability can win.
Those upon whom love eenters,

You have answered some hard
questions. What is the answer TO
this? Is there any way of inducing
the garbage collector to perform this
office at least once every week or
SO?
And when you have answered
this Is there any way by which we
may know of his presence in orr
vicinity, for unless we are on our
front galleries to tell him to get the
garbage he doesn't even see the
houses.
And here is another: When there
is day set by the Board of Health
for the collection Of trash, why dc
the boxes and barrels have to sit on
the curb in front of our houses for
a week or more and then have &c
be hauled back un-emptied
when the owner and the neighbors
are tired of looking at them?
When people are doing their best
to comply with the rules of health
and order it does seem that there
should be some way OF forcing the
people that have these contracts tc
do their part.

VALUE OF A HUSBAND.
Seems to Run All the Way from $50
to $4,000.
M the I/exington (Ky.) Herald.

From the Lexington CKyJ Herald.
What Is a husband worth? Is there any
way Of fixing a price? A Boyle county
jury fined a wife 500 for killing her hus-
band. Of which amount the State got 1c
po- cent, which was taken by some 70
mean that the value of a husband b $50.
In Louisville a woman sued another f=r
the alienation of her husbands affections.
and jury returned a verdict Of $4,000 in
favor of the deserted wife.
In Hopkinsville a wife who sued an
other woman for alternating her husband s
affections compromised her suit for S. loo.
1t was currently reported that the 5000
was for the damages to her pride and the
500 for the value OF her husband. But
from the penalty fixed by the Boyle county
jury Of 500 for killing the husband to
$4,000 fixed by the Louisville jury for the
capture of a husband alive there Is 60
great a range that It seems as II II were
IMPOSSIBLE to reach any average. and the
question is complicated by many differ
ent facts.
In the same issue Of the daily papers
telling OF the verdict Of the Louisville
jury fixing the value of a husband at
$4,000. and Of the agreement between the
two women of Hopkinsville fixing the
value at $500 there Is an account OF a
suit instituted in Washington by one Mrs.
Nelson Hopkins against Elisha E Berry.
wealthy septuagenarian real estate or
orator. Mrs. Hopkins alleges that Mr
Berry embraced her once and fixes the
value OF that embrace at $4,000. We have
not seen the petition in full and so do not
know whether 1t was only because there
was one hug that she asks so heavy
damages. or whether the amount Of dam
ages would have been increased or di-
minished had there been more. But IL
one hug is worth 10000. how many
thousands Of dollars ought . husband
to be worth?

Hon TO Use Month of
August to Advantage

II spite OF the very pleasant fact that
August for :. great many people means
a delightful stay in the mountains or
at sori, shore. there are a great many
to whom II means the same thing that
the rest Of the months mean, that Is,
home and housework. But in spite Of the
general opinion. even home and house
work in August are not the worst posl
sible lot OF woman. Indeed they may be
ma very pleasant with q little PLAN
ming SO that the hard and especially
the hot tasks are done in the early hours,
and the middle of the day Is kept for
rest, in quiet and shaded rooms.
But in addition there are a lot OF things
to do in August that will greatly help
the fall work alonI when September
comes. 1t is a good time to look over
the household supplies. to see what Is
going tn be needed in the way of linen.

well as to look out for repairs to furni-
ture and all other similar work that
II Iy have to be attended to. There are
r-any splendid bargains in all the stores
at this season of the year. and the fore
handed housekeeper will have her eyes

year. II It seen that they will be
needed, for they can be had now for
half or less of what the price will be in
the spring. The furnace and stoves
should be examined for possible repairs,
and that sort Of work is likely to be
cheaper now than at any other time dur
ing the year. II there are painting or
papering to be done IL is a good time to
ge' at II. for all extensive work that
is productive of dust or smell Is much
better done while all the windows are
open, and very likely 1t will cost less
than later.
1t Is a good time to renew the pillow
ticks, wash the blankets, and do up
TIE curtains. An extra hour or two in
the morning at some of these things will
accomplish wonders. and need not add
toD greatly to the edhily work.

Double Skirts.

The vogue Of the double skirt seems
to be increasing. The under one, gen.
orally Of supple satin, is often draped
and drawn In around the ankles. Over
this contrasting material is draped or
pleated. In the latter case 1t might pass
for an elongated tunic. especially as 1t
Is often Of taffeta- The fancy for these
double skirts finds a better medium of
expression in the sheer summer mate
rials. Through the upper one. which is
transparent. one sees the colored garni-
ture Of the under one and the effect Is
very soft and pretty.
Ribbons are used for this trimming of
the foundation skirt. Just as they are
employed under transparent bodices.
This use Of ribbons under sheer waists
was introduced about q year ago. but did
not ind its way into the fashions for
the multitude until this spring. In spite
Of the fact that 1t has now reached the
bargain counter stage It Is still q fea-
ture Of mIny exquisite toilets.

From the Lowell Courier Citizen.
As expected, the Governor and council
promptly liberated David d. Farnsworth,
of Bridgewater. who had just begun to
serve a six months sentence for man
slaughter. He fired a shotgun In the
dark to protect his poultry yard and
killed a man. The jury found him guilty
and the sentence followed. There was
much sympathy for Farnsworth. and It
took the form of an extraordinary petit
ton for his pardon. signed by more than
1000 persons. AL things considered, II
was proper to grant it But the case
shows the necessity for more stringent
enforcement Of the laws against thievery.
The Bridgewater mans property was not
protected as II should have been, and
for this neglect the community Is respon-
sible. No person should feel obliged to
guard his goods with a shotgun or other
weapon. 1t is clearly up to the people to
see that II is guarded for him.

When flower leaves begin to curl and

TOO MUCH UNREST

We hear q great deal about ''unrest''
among women, and there are 20 many
ways Of applying that little word that

most thought In his head.
Because when some folk mention that
word unrest In connection with women
they straightaway think Of broken win
dow panes, Of mail destroyed, and Of
stormy scenes around the British Parlia-
ment. Or. coming nearer home. their
thoughts run along to women who march,
to those who plead with Legislatures,
and who believe in votes for women"
And others, when they talk Of unrest.
turn to women who are not content with
their ancient fields Of work. but who
claim the wide. wide world for their
own.
This Is Q form Of unrest born Of dis.
content with the old regime which divided
the fields Of work. proudly labelling the
bulk for men. while the rest was reserved
for women.
Born of Lack Of Money.
And some have in mind the women who
rebel because they must work at all. the
kind who openly revolt at their house,
hold tasks and do as little as they can.
This type of unrest has its beginning
right within. with no particular reason
for II except q lack Of money and Q dis
contented mind.
But the kind that really counts the
most. as some folk look upon II, Is 80.
cial unrest-and that springs from q lot
of things.
This is not the type that IL most criti-
cised. because II Is counted rather harm
less in its way: but it is a type written
all over, frivolous" Some women af-
fiicted with this form Of unrest have .
great deal Of money to spend. yet are poor
in worthy ambitions. They entertain. they
travel, they dress in fine array. and their
aims never outride the social horizon.
And in time. when they have entertained.
travelled and dressed as much. as far and
as well as they can. they grow dissatisfied.
And. because there IL no real purpose in
their lives, they are restless unless their
time Is fully occupied with the lightest
kind Of diversion.
And other women who suffer from un-
rest OF this type are disturbed and at
war with themselves because they have
SO little money with which to achieve
their social ambitions. They try and try
so desperately hard to go over the ground
traversed by others that 1t keeps them
keyed up to a nervous pitch. and they
are victims Of the unrest fever.
Should Have Aim in Life.
And without attempting to comment
upon the other types Of unrest. there IL
something about the social manifestations
that does not reject great glory upon
women.
For though one may be misguided In
purpose. quite wrong in her theories and
all. 1t Is something to have . real aim in
life, an aim rather higher than the am
bition to shine in the social world
