Mandates of the Past.

The presentation of white feathers by young English ladies to men who have not enlisted recalls quaint o!o British army order issued in 1748 which said: "1o officer or man to wear a. white feather. lest they be taken fer the French"
 h those days, too, they apparently found it necessary to issue instruc- tfons regarding enlistments that would certainly be out of place today. such as the following, in t74S: Sailors and colliers never make good soldiers, ;oe- ing accustomed to a more drunken way of life than what a private sent1nel pay can admit of" Another such war office mandate, directed to recruiting sergeants in 17s1. said: You must en- list no strollers, vagabonds, dnkeFss chimney sweeps, or sailors.
 Much hunor-probably similarly ura- conscious-marked the more general army orders of those stern old times. Answers

 Here are few suggestions for home use: ,.-q
 Before putting away screens. brush them over with oil mixed with a. it- tie Varnish.
 To clean paint. dip a cloth in gaso- line and go over it lightly; hut use great care about using it in a room where there is fire.

sARAH ANN TIaE ON PARTNER.
 SHIPS

Dear Social Corner Sisters: notice a woman writer has discovered there are fifteen kinds of fat women and presume that in the natural order of things there must be fifteen kinds of fat men to match them.
 does not make any difference how many kinds of fat men or womeg, there are if they are only good for something. presume some of the fat test oi them are good enough to eat but our tastes and our laws put them out of the edible class, so too many or them are only good for exhibition in a dime show
 -1 I was glad to see one sister had spunk enough to say she did not see any sense or justice in a partnership where the man was the whole thing. 4 <co-paFtnership certainly calls for cooperation and a united interest. In to make one another take stock in too many things that are not so. The woman makes the man think he is the head Of the house and the. man makes the woman think she is an equal part ner. with him. although he keeps her totally ignorant of most of the bus mess and never enlfghtens her as to whether there is a. surplus or deficit at the end of the year.
 I felt pleased when Black Pansy invited a discussion of domestic finances and equality of relation there to. Some men who spend a dollar a day for tobacco think 50 cents a month is enough far their wives to have for pin money; and many who spend half their earnings for grog do not expect their wives to ask for an allowance, but to be content to go without clothes. and If they get a Thanksgiving dinner to have it sent in from the city mission.
 Huh! Some of the partnerships need regulating, and it would be bless- ing if some of them were dissolved

new legislature cOnvenes a large ma
jority Of those composing its mem
bership are utterly without legisla-

of knowledge of legislative processes

educated in the work Ehey were sent

from six weeks to two months are
taken up in the process. From the
legislature during that period the
state derives no benefit but the cost
of maintaining it is going on never

Right here a great saving could be
