The world will give applause to him who
rules in great affairs, p
To him who in a lofty place assumes Q,

His name Is passed from lip to lip. his,
fame is spread abroad.
And they are envied whom he deigns to-
please with smile or nod:
But there's another. poor perhaps, I'M
honored n unknown,
To whom I raise my hat, because of
worth that is his own
The honest man who daily does the best
that he may do
And makes the world his debtor for .
worthy son or two.
The crowds will gladly shout his name
who guides a splendid fleet
And makes his country's foemen feel the
sorrow Of defeat;
For him the waiting bands will play. for
him the flags will fly.
For him the people will applaud and raise
the arches high;
But while they crown him and are glad to-
stand and watch him pass
I lift my hat to one for whom there Is no
sounding brass
The honest man whose sons are taught so
they may understand
The worth of honor and the debt they
owe their native land. :
The world will give sweet praise to him
who has enriched Its art,
And learn to prize the poets song III 1t

There will be high rewards for them who

But there is one whom few will deign

Though all his efforts. all his hopes, in

nature as artifice can make them, and
this Is saying a great deal.
Certain manufacturers give their
whole attention to the rose. They
make up all varieties and copy the
natural model with amazing fidelity.
Even in florists shops one sees arti-
fetal roses, and they are for sale, SO
that one may choose between nature
and art. ..esH
But manufacturers depart from ma
lures production and give us gauze
roses of gold and silver. ghostly crepe
roses gorgeous velvet blossoms in
strange %colorings for evening gowns,
and odd, richly colored feather roses;
but these last are rare.
The single long.stemmed rose is the
fad in blossoms Just now. But it can
not entirely replace the bouquet Of
v~iolets, the cluster Of orchids or the
single gardenia. These all have their
devotees. Violets in which a single
orchid, or a small rose, is set as the
center Of a round bouquet, are great
favorites. All the flowers are oftener

"Eez" Hats,

About the only prediction that mil
liners are making concerning the hats
of the near future is that we are
slowly approaching a fashion for the
"fez." This is the logical outcome Of
the close-itting turbans that come
well down over the head and tight
around the face. so far. two or three
models of Eek" have appeared. one
in ermine, n in chinchilla, and n
in that new fur called "Borun Duki."
These were tall and tight-fitting, the
chinchilla model being untrimmed, the
ermine being decorated with little
crescent-shaped designs done in tails
and the hat of "Borun Duki." relying
on its distinct stripes for its trimming
effect.

Hand Painting Popular.

Hand-painted evening gowns, scarfs,
various toilette accessories and the
new methods of painting on silk and
velvet which recently came into use,
are quite popular. The paints, which
are applied with a brush in the case
of silk, are specially prepared so that,
once dry, they remain indelible, and
will stand both washing and ironing.

A Woman's Building.

ten-story office building devoted to
business women rs to be built in Kansas
City. according to recent announce

space. The building is to be erected by
the Womens Commercial Club, and a

The building will be designed by a
woman architect. with special view to
the accommodation of women. The agent
of the building will be a woman, the
janitors will be women. the elevators will
be operated by GIRLS and girls will be
employed as porters: Office girls instead
of Office boys will be employed by the
tenants. and male stenographers need not
apply. One man has asked for an office
in the building. declaring that he wanted
1t because he knew it would be kept
clean. but his request has been refused.

SUGGESTS A METHOD
FOR CLEANING STONE
Trade Magazine Advocates Use Of
Caustic Soda OF
Pearl Ash.

A builder In Virginia had a contract in
volving the use of brick work with gran
lite trimmings and he found it necessary
to clean the stonework. He made the at
tempt with diluted acid. but it did not
give satisfaction, although the stock brick
around the trimmings cleaned up very
nicely The granite. however. still showed
the streaks of dirt. He stated his case
in a recent issue of the Painters Maya
zine, and the suggested remedy was as
follows:
Builders acid, which is equal parts Of
muriatic acid and water, will remove
spots OF mortar on brick and stone work.
but is not the right material for cleaning
stone that is begrimed from smoke and
dirt. To accomplish this, apply to the
surface with a long-handled fiber brush
a strong solution of caustic soda or pearl
ash. Let it remain on for about fifteen
minutes, then wash several times with
clear water, using stiff brush or broom
for the purpose. If this will not be ef-
fective enough, scrub the stone with a
stiff sand, allowing this to remain on the
stone until nearly dry, then rinse with
clear water, using brush to remove the
cleansing material. Protect your hands
with rubber gloves.

TO PREVENT DAMPNEss.
Running of Furnace Pipes From
Basement to Attic Suggested.

The remedy for damp basement de-
pends very largely upon the location OF
the building. If lime is stored in the
basement in shallow boxes placed close to
the walls, on the floor, the lime will alb
sorb a great deal of the moisture. Some
damp Easements have been made perfect
ly dry by this means. The lime must be
removed and fresh lime substituted
when signs of dampness reappear. This
treatment also tends to make base
ment healthy.
to be overcome by the use Of lime the
owner must introduce some means for OBJ
tanning a constant calculation of air
Have small windows provided SO cool air
from the outside may enter the basement
directly and run some vertical pipes used
for furnace heating. These pipes should
be open at the lower end at the basement
ceiling and preferably should be as close
as possible to the house chimney. At
the upper end they can open into the attic
or space between the top story ceiling
and the roof. The difference in air tenn

Farm Hands Of Today.

From the Fort Wayne Journal-7azette.
The farm hand has been in the past q
very sturdy and dependable type. As
featured in the rural dramas, he looked
rustic and stupid. On an average
though. he had fair intelligence and no
end Of capacity for the days work.
He was not very ambitious. but was
gifted with A philosophical temperament.
He and the hired girl ate at the first and
only table with the family. the food was
good and abundant. He was sure OF his
future. As he spent little for clothes
and nothing for amusement. he usually
had a fair savings bank account A
farmer was remarking the other day
that this type is about extinct. Instead.
he now has to depend on rowing young
fellows. At the best they look at farm
work as a mere stepping. stone to some
thing else. AT the worst they want to
earn money for extravagant spending.
Last summer he had a young man who
left him with 800 in the bank. A month
later he came back and asked for work
again, saying that his money had all
been spent.
In many localities foreign-speaking help
is all that can be had. If you send them
for a rake they get a monkey wrench.
Those that have much intelligence usu-
ally prefer to buy little land on mort
gage and be their own boss. Also they
prefer to remain in the company of their
own people. One is rarely contented un-
less there are others speaking the same
tongue nearby.

In a city the size of New York, hous-
