A Contrast.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

n Contrast.
What an interesting contrast be-
tween the Now and Then, is the in
side Of a typical summer cottage thir-
ty years ago and of d typical cottage
of today,
The other day the question of what
to do with a superfluous piece of fur
niture came up in family circle
where 1 was visiting.
Cant we put it in the living room
at the cottage?" suggested the elder
ly mother, who still clings to the old
school idea that a summer cottage
should be furnished with the casta-
ways of a winter home, I'VE need an
other chair there
Goodness, no. said the daughter,
that would just spoil it. Why you
room is mission
AS they spoke, before my mind
came vision of their cottage, and
then of the cottages 1 used to be in
vited to when 1 was a little girl.
Their living room is furnished, as
she says. entirely in mission. There
is low center table, rugs on the floor,
hangings at the windows. The pic
lures on the walls are few and in good
taste.
Their dining room is much like the
dining room in their home except that
the round table and chairs are of mis-
sion instead of mahogany. The dishes
are an inexpensive but attractive set in
blue.
OF course you know what the living
room of the typical cottage of thirty
years ago,-and of many survivors of
that epoch,-is like.
The furniture, like the chocolates
- Id
When the cottage was first bought or
built, the home attic was ransa ok ed ,
then, as one bought a piece of new
furniture from time to time for the
winter home, the piece displaced was
sent to the cottage. Each period,
black walnut, maple, cherry and oak,
was represented by a piece or two
Certain pieces were inevitable. No
well-regulated cottage but had it's
whatnot in the corner, usually piled
with old magazines, children's toys,
shells and stones. The walls were
covered with old calendars, magazine
covers. gay-colored pictures which
came with the Sunday papers, and now
and then a discarded picture from
the house. 80,
There were no rugs. The dining
room table was usually a lengthy af-
fair. 1t took twelve or fourteen to fill
it and when the family by some chance
were alone they clustered about one
end.
The china, of course, was a collec-
ton of odds and ends.
Nothing could better illustrate the
rise in standard and the refinement in
taste than this change
In a way it seems good to me, and
in a way bad. The move towards
fewer things, the love of harmony. are
good. While the inability to be salts
fled, even with a summer cottage, I'M
less things are just so, the tendency to
carry all the forms and conventions
of city life into the country, are bad.

wasted each day in the exchange of
gossip. And Ann found that she could
double the efficiency and tighten the
task of a girl who spent her time fold
ing circular reports and sending them
out simply by providing her with a
chair that fitted the table before
which she worked-before that she
had always balanced herself on an
old dictionary in order to reach the
desk-giving her a place in the day
light and providing her with a few
good tools to work with.
1T would be as if Tad expected
Martha to do the Fridays cleaning
with thimbleful of water and an old
fashioned broom instead of vacuum
cleaner" Ann told Bert to justify the
change.
Then one day there was a terrific
rainstorm. Bert was growing about
it. The girls will be soaked from
going out to luncheon, and they'll
spend half the afternoon drying up"
Don't make them go out" was
AIMS suggestion. For 25 cents apiece
you can get luncheon brought in for
them. They will be glad not to have
to go out. and they will not waste any
time drying up afterward.'
Long head you've got, Ann said
Bert and Ann simply smiled and said:
Just a little good housekeeping. Any
she was given free rein. BY the way,
when is Tad coming back?"
Heaven knows Bert was decid-
edly detected. I've asked her to come
home this week. Let alone being
lonesome as Robinson Crusoe. I'm
spending a fortune keeping house
without her. OF course Martha doesn't
know how to manage, and she feeds
| all her friends at my expense. Why,
the meat bill last week was fifteen
| dollars!"
How much was steak last week %
Sister Ann was very solemn
| You can't catch me that way,
smarty,' was the brotherly reply. 81

| You must have had quite a lot of

of course you are awfully busy Is
Tad coming back soon?''
| I'm sure 1 don't know" Bert was
peevish. Say, Ann" he said, look
| ing straight into her face. you might

cause she was huffed or something
| You seem so anxious to know all

I do want you to know that Tad went
away just because she was in need of
a rest. and the sooner she gets back
the better please y be. By the way.

CLOUD WISHES.

Once upon a time tiny little white
cloud and a great big gray cloud hung
in a sky of blue.
Underneath them was a dark. green
forest dusky with great purple shadows
and far in the distance a broad river
n1irrored the sky above.
IF only | was big and grand like
you" sighed the little cloud one day.
1T so stupid just being little cloud
all the time-forever and all the
time
What makes you think being big
cloud is any more fun than being a
little cloud? Don't 1 have to stay up
in the sky Just as you do?'
The little cloud considered a min
ute.
Yes. you do" he decided, thought
fully You may have to stay up in
the sky just as I do. But you are so
much grander looking while you are
there, So much bigger and more in
teresting."
How do you know all that?''
laughed the big gray cloud.
81 know it, answered the little
white cloud, because I've been listen
ing to what people say. l heard them
talking just little while ago; one
said. Look at that beautiful gray
cloud and at once / wished l, too,
was gray instead of plain, stupid
white
Then the big gray cloud laughed
harder than ever,
you don't mean to tell me-, he
declared, that you are so stupid as to
listen to what people say, l thought
better of you than that!
well, I'm sorry to dfsappoint yo1.
said the little cloud in distress. but
you see I just heard and I couldn't
help wishing"
s'Yes. you could" replied the big
cloud firmly: listen if you must, but
never pay any attention to what peo-
pie say, Now. for my part. / Ike
white clouds, so you see there. are all
kinds of tastes. Those people liked
gray: 1 like white But all the time

Louis Cross-Eyen 1 exclaimed.
Why, man, I never heard of such a
person.
Well, there was one, sir said
the salesman, and he pulled out a
ticket marked Louis XII
The school concert was about to
begin. Four little girls were dressed
to represent the word star and each
had one letter of that word pinned on
to her snowy white frock. Each letter

Now said the teacher, form
yourselves in position and wait until
the curtain goes up"
The little girls did as they were
told, and while the piano played the
accompaniment the curtain went up.
Instead of applause to greet the lit
tie girls, deep silence from the audi
ence met them. They had got into
the wrong order, and the word they
spelt was rats"
Two women travelling in the same
passenger coach could not agree about
the window, and finally appealed to
the brakeman.
eff that window remains open /
one, to which the other promptly re-
piled: IF it is closed, I shall smother
to DEATH
The brakeman scratched his head
| in perplexity, until an old gentlenlen
sitting nearby proposed:
open the window until one freezes
to death, and then close it until the
other smothers to death, and then the
rest CT us can finish our journey in
peace"
The quiet-looking boy at the foot
| of the class had not had a question:
so the teacher propounded to him this

| Dead was the calm response.

rHE FACTS ARE KNOWN.

Congress failed to give the federal
trade commission the $4,000 asked as
a deficiency appropriation to help
carry on the food investigation. AS
a result. the commission will find it
impossible to go into the question of
food costs, IS recommended by Presi-
dent Wilson.
Congress probably foresaw a waste
of time and money. Suppose it We're
found that good prices are being
manipulated. The fact could hardly
be called a discovery. In fact it is
already apparent. What could the
government do about it?
The assistant United States district
attorney at Chicago practically con-
fesses the inability of the government
to convict manipulators of food prices.
His experience with investigations
undertaken in different parts of the
country he says, shows that lit is i'm
possible to prove conspiracy as manip-
ulation is at present carried on" ut
is not necessary to conspire to raise
prices" he continues. Men don't
have to get together, as if they were
SelllnS wire, ana pleuSe edGh OlHeT
to fix higher prices. In the handling
of food men intuitively know when to
advance prices. Prices. they say, are
regulated by supply and demand. But
if you have the money, there's al
ways plenty of supply. If potatoes are
$4 a bushel, you can get as many
bushels as you have s4." And he
adds: It's anarchy to raise the prices
in the way these manipulators do,
urged on by their greed to put the
price of food out of the reach of wom-
en- and children. The only way 1 see
to get around it is to be equally an
archistic. Let the city or state go in
and sell the food stored up in these
warehouses at a safe profit. That
would bring the spectators to their
knees"
Fear of something of this sort
probably started the recent movement
of food which brought about a quick
decline in prices.

ACCIDENTS.

Statistics are frequently misinter-
preted and twisted, says the Iron
Trade Review, to back up some pet
theory or prejudice.
The old saying that figures don't lie
is a half truth, and figures without
an Interpretation often convey infor-
nation which IS far from actual facts.
The morbid minded person who
simply reads that a certain number of
thousands of workers were injured in
industrial occupations during a certain
year, might not feel so gloomy if he
analysed the figures and discovered
that probably siX-tenths of the in
juries reported are such as would not
be noticed had they occurred in the
home or in the garden. The sensitive
citizen also would be comforted If it
were pointed out to him that about
one-third of 1 per cent are fatal in
juries, about i per cent result in per-
manent Gripping. and the remainder
are minor injuries.
OF $40 fatal accidents in Massa-
chusetts during a certain year, 95 oc-
Cured in factories, while 275 occurred
in street and building construction, on
railways, and other work, outside of
factories. During the same period, 374
deaths from whooping cough and
measles occurred among children. In
dustrial work appears to be the safes
occupation in this country. The re-
ports of the United States government
show that in all factories, mines, rail-
roads, steel mills, and other industries
one worker out of each 1900 is killed
annually. Outside of industry, one out
of every 1000 is killed annually. Blu.
in manufacturing only one out of 1000
is killed annually. The fact is sur
prising, but true, that in farming one
year; this represents considerably
more hazard than the one in 1000 in
general manufa curing.
1t is deduced from dry statistics that
the law of gravitation is responsible
for the most and the worst accidents
not excepting machinery. More men
and women are crippled or killed from
falling or becauae something falls on
them, than from any othe~ cause
Four times as many people are
drowned every year as are killed by
machinery, This includes those
drowned while bent on pleasure and
those drowned in the pursuit of bust
ness. The moral is found in the ap-
plication of the universal remedy
Personal Caution is the Greatest
Safeguard"
