DAY OFT OBSERVED
Memorial Ceremonies Over Fallen Soldiers Really Date Back
 to Spring of 1865.

rtIE readiness with which the sol
 diers of the Civil war became
 quiet citizens at the close of the war greatly puzzled foreigners at that time. Foreigners do not realize that it has never been the policy of our people to maintain a large standing army. The soldiers of the Union and the soldiers of the Confederacy were nearly all volunteers. Both armies were composed. in the main. of law abiding men. who left their homes in obedience to what they thought was their duty. The contest was one of principle; not one of personal revenge. The matter being settled. they were ready 10 return to their accustomed occupations.
 The readiness with which the Union and Confederate soldiers now unite in observing Memorial day also puzzles foreigners. They think that 1t is a mere matter of expediency which was brought about in 1898. when some of the old Union and Confederate sol diers marched side by side under the otdIS sNlIlDCs- suth ID hot the case. The Blue and the Gray had been united in the observance of Me morial day before the war with Spain.
 Memorial day, as it is now formally observed as a legal holiday in a ma jority of the states, was inaugurated in 1868. Gen. John B. Logan. who was at that time commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued an order to all surviving Union soldiers to meet May 30 of that year, at the cemeteries near their respective posts. and to decorate the graves of their fallen comrades. But the cere- mony. in an informal way. had been observed since the spring of 1865 in the South, where the custom originat- ed. The ceremonies at the graves of the Confederate dead in Hollywood cemetery at Richmond. Va, in the spring of 1867 were being observed at the time Mrs John B. Logan happened to be visiting in that city. She was so pleased with the simple beauty of these ceremonies that she urged her husband to inaugurate similar ceremo- nies for the Union soldiers. It was these ceremonies that suggested the idea to General Logan.
 The idea of uniting the ceremonies of the northern and the southern peo. pie seems to have originated, also. in the South. for in the spring of 1867 the women of Columbus. Miss. while decorating the gvaves of Confederate soJdirys. c:.vwed flowers on the graves of the Union soldiers who were buried in the same cemetery. When the news of this touching tribute reached the North. the northern newspapers com mented favorabiy on the fact.
 Since that time the sentiment ex pressed in 1t has been growing among the American people. The monument erected at Fitzgerald Ca. by thei Blue and Gray Memorial association of that place is one of the best visible expres sions Of this sentiment

Worthy All Nation Can Give.

The old soldiers are passing from the sight of a people to whom they have been an inspiration and a pride for more than a generation. Is there anyone to grudge full need of praise and comfort for the few who still remain?

London, June 14-Mrs. A. B. Hen ley. a prominent Red Gross worker both at home and at the front since the beginning of the war, has been in charge of the woInan's section of the latest recruiting campaign in London, speaking daily at from five to a dozen meetings, although she was invalided home from France only a few weeks ago She is said to have several hundred recruits to her cred it.
 ''I like the work" she said, speaking of her cam paign. 'I nave address ed meetings in practically every sec tions of London during the past fort night. simply speak freely on topics within my own experience What impresses me more than anything else is the intelligent interest displayed by the crowds of people who assem- ble round the different platforms.

FINDING FAULT WITH HIM
"where the apple reddens Never pry- Lest we lose our Edens. Eve and IT.

If you have a husband who iS trying hard the best way he can to get along. don't be a, nillstone around his neck to hamper him in his bitter fight with the harsh world One word of encour- agenent from the woman he loves will put heart and strength in him to make renewed efforts; her sheer will make him so Respondent that the Hghtest blow struck at him by an un- feeling stranger will forct him down and out.
 It is every mans right to have a happy home if he provides one for his wife and resumes the responsibility of it's upkeep. If his nerves and brain have been on the rack all day by bus peace, comfort, love, consideration and cheerfulness within the four walls of his home. 1
 Wives may not think that such hus- bands need coddling and loving, but they do. What encouragement has a husband who has worked hard all day if he is met by fretful wife who is ever ready to recite her woes to him, but never asks of him, Did you have a busy day, dear, and are you tired If you do not feel like going out we will postpone going to the movies or concert or lecture until some other time"
 How grateful the average husband would be for such kindly solicitude, which tacft1yN proved to him beyond the power of mere words, how dear he was to her.
 Even if a husband does err in his Judgment now and then, he should not be made to feel that he he'd committed an unpardonabIe folly. Wise Is the wife who throws her arms about his neck, assuring him that she is sure he has done everything for the best, and that success will come their way when he is least suspecting it-that her con- ffdence in him is unshakaibIe. Such a husband will have renewed strength to try again, aye, and keep on trying un- til he really does win out.
 Many a man has a dread of telling his wife of his business affairs when they go wrong. fearful of her upbraid- ings, which would be but adding fuel to the fire of his Encouragement. Don't find5 fault with a good, deserving hus- band. Worthy ones are hard to get, being few and sfaf between. It is in almost every instance, the man who has a happy home life who succeeds and the man who is tormented at home who meets with ignominious failure Love and appreciation are props f steel to keep a mans courage from sinking.
 I wish every petufAnt wife who is not doing her share in Tightening her hus- bands burdens would ponder over these words and make the resolve that she will experiment. on being more kind and tolerant with her hus- band, tq spur him on to more suc- cessful achievements Finding fault with him will insure his anger. dis content with his wife and home life His wifeis love and confidence will help him climb to success. Wives, think it over.

THE MATTERHoRN.

The first ascent of the Matterhorn was completed just half a century ago today, July IA, 1865, by Edward Whynper,- an English explorer, and his companions. The Matterhorn is a part of the main ridge of the Alps lin southern Switzerland, and is II s36 feet in height. Mountain climb CTS and scientists of all nations, among them Prof. Tyndau, had fail ed in their attempts to reach the summit before Whymper finally achieved the goal. The triumph was overshadowed by a tragedy, however, as during the descent of the party four of them were killed. MT. Hadow fell, the connecting rope broke, and he himself, Lord Francis Douglas, the Rev. MT. Hudson and Michael Croz, a Swiss guide, fell from a precipice naarly 4,0oo feet high and were dash ed to death on the rocks below. The next ascent of the Matterhorn was
 made by Miss Walker and her father in 1871. In 1879 Dr. w. O. Mosely, an American climber, was killed in the attempt to scale the peak. which, for difficulty in climbing, has no su- perior in the Alps and few in the world.

GOOD FISH IN THE SEA
 AS EVER WAS CAUGHT

Dear Miss Ldbbey:-'
 I am deopIy attracted to a young man of 21. I am 19- Two years ago he wished to go with me. A youth es- corted me I liked pretty well. I did not quit him until going since with others. Have no one at present. I never saw one liked as this first one. He started going with my second es- cort's sister two years past; took her to few places. Now he invites her to shows, dances and every place. He likes her, yet talks about her to me. Three times he said he was to quit her and go with me if possible. Few like this girl. Has parents only like me. I am pretty and independent, even if he has money. He dances first with his girl, second with me. Thanks for your reply.
 You are wasting time upon one who has girl. Do. not seek to come be- tween them. There's as good fish in the sea as ever was caught. Choose another and to that one be true-.

D0HTHERIA,

Diphtheria is an acute disease of the nose and throat, and is very dan .gerous.
 It is caused by the diphtheria germ. These germs not only cause sofe spot where they grow, but also make a poison which weakens the heart
 Diphtheria is contagious disease. Children catch it (a) from others who have the disease, (b) from those who have had it recently and still carry it and spread it by coughing and sneezing.
 Children may get diphtheria from spoons and cups that have not been thoroughly c1eansed in boiling water before using. Do not allow a child to put in it's mouth candy or pencils that have been in the mouth Of an other persons.
 You should be very careful to pro- tect your children from diphAheria, and to keep other. children from get ting it if yours are sick with it. If one of your children has -diphtherias the doctor, if called in time, may be able to prevent the others from catching it.
 If your child has a sore throat be sure to call in the doctor. Only a doctor can decide whether or not the case is one of diphtheria. If the doctor says that antitoxin should be used, see that this is done; it may
 
 fore we had antitoxin. one out of three children who had diphtheria. died. Now, if antitoxin is used on the first or second day of the disease, ninety-eight out of every hundred children recover. The sooner d4ph- therta is attended to. the more cer- tain is a cure.
 Place the child in a room alone. Take out all unnecessary furniture. If possible, choose room on the top floor of your house, well ventilated and sunny. If an apartment, select the brightest and most airy room. Do not allow any person not taking care of the child to come into the sick room. All dishes used in the sick room should be thoroughly boiled af- ter use. Before washing, all soiied clothes should be soaked for an hour in a tub containing one pound of tcarbolic acid in five gallons of water. | Do these things and you will protect your own and other peoples chiI- dren.
 A child should not be allowed to get out of bed until the doctor per rnits.
 Diphtheria may affect the. heart if the child gets up too soon. Only after the doctor has stated that the throat and nose are free from diphtheria germs should the child be allowed to go out of the house or to play with other children.

THIS IS A cHILDREN,s sU1rMER.

the suspender5 effect that is in demand everywhere treated in a manner that is thoroughly childish as well as de- hghtful The dress is of blue cham bray trimmed with white embroidery A darker shade of blue is used to out line the suspenders.
 For size eight yards of s6-inch ma teria1 are required. with E yard belt ing inch wide for the stay. What. ever shape is desired for the neck and sleeves may be determined in the cut ting. It isNthe front gore, however marked by triple TIT" perforations, that Is first laid on 1engthwise fold of the goods in cutting. Next comes the p1ecing for the front gore to the right of the front gore. but so arranged that its straight edge runs parallel with the selvage.
 The back gore the front, the collar and back strap, all of which are mark ed with triple "TTT' perforations, are laid on lengthWise fold of the cham bray. The back, the front breteIle, culI. back breteIle and sleeve are placed on a. lengthwise thread of the goods. To obtain the square neck, in case it is preferred to a high finish, the neck edges of front and back are cut out on small "ois perforations- The small '.o'a perGora31ons in the sleeves are intended to indicate the shorter sleeve.
 A subtle note of smartness is lent the fFock by the pipings of darker blue chambray, as they bring out the da1n- tiness of the embroidery design.
 The skirt is a tWo-piece affair gath cred at the top and trimmed at the front with a broad box pIeat- f simpler effect is desired the bretelles. or suspenders, may be omitted
 Since youthful frocks are also car ried out in taffeta it may not be arniss to note that this. design would look well in blue. brown or green silk, with hand embroidery and silk braid for the trimming.
