depicting the Delaware troops in

GIRLS OF HOUSE
HOLD SHOULD HAVE
SPECIAL DUTIES

No matter how comfortably a
family may be situated, the girls
of the household should have
something to do regularly, just as
soon as they become old enough
to do any thing. They should in
the first place make their own
bed, and take care of their own
room. They should sweep a por-
tion of the house. They should
learn, above all things, to help
themselves, and thus to be indie
pendent in al circumstances.
1t is a good policy, as girls grow
up, to assign to them special
duties, first in one part of the
house, then in another, until they
should become acquainted with
all housewifely duties, and there
should be an object in this beyond
the simple acquisition of habits
that conduce to the health of
body and mind-of habits that
give them an insight into the ma
ture of labor, and inspire within
them a genuine sympathy with
those whose lot it is to labor.
Growing children must be kept
occupied, otherwise they will be-
come habitually placid and mac
tive. There should be occupa'
tions for the mind and the body.
A girl growing up to womanhood,
is, when unemployed, habitually
uneasy. The mind aches and
chafes because it wants action
for a motive.
Now a mind in this condition is
not benefited by the command to
stay at home, or the withdrawal
from companions. 1t must be set
to work. This vital energy that is
struggling to find relief in demon
stration should be so directed that
habits may be formed,-habits of
industry that obviate the wish of
change and unnecessary play, and
form a regular drain upon it.
Otherwise, the mind becomes dis
sipated, the will irresolute, and
confinement irksome. Girls will
never be happy, except in the com
pany of their playmates, unless
home becomes to them a scene of
regular duty and personal use

Aunt Mary was very strict-too
strict for Eric and his little sister,
who were fed up with staying
with her. She certainly tried her
best to amuse them, and one morn
ing took them to the zoo. But it
was a failure. eric, keep away
from that cage! Molly, your hats
crooked! Those seats are dirty,
Eric-keep off them. If you bite
the finger of your glove again
Molly, l shall take you straight
home!" 1t was like a never end
ing gramophone record on good
behavior, and Aunt Mary never
seemed to tire.
At last the little party paused
before a cage, and Aunt Mary
consulted her catalogue. "This,

SLANDERING
THE WEATHER
Aunt Hetty Saunders Gives
Some Quaint Advice to
\Grumblers

There is a story told of a quaint
old lady who always had a good
word to say of everyone, and a
friend to whom this characteristic
sometimes seemed irritating, de-
clared one day that he believed
she would find something good to
say of the devil himself: "Well,"
said the old lady mildly, "Tve Of
ten thought we might emulate his
industry"
Aunt Hetty Saunders might
have been a near kinswoman of
the old lady in question, for she
always had something good to say
of the weather. When other peo-
pie were groaning about the heat,
Aunt Hetty would say in sprightly
tones, "My, this must be just
grand for corn" And in the cold
est winter weather she would re-
mark cheerily, "This ought to
make ice cheap next season."
The rain that interfered with
carrying out some cherished plan
never succeeded in wringing cen
sure from Aunt Hetty's lips. In
stead she would seat herself by
the window with her sewing, and
if anyone was present to listen
she would remark, 81 just love to
see the rain making things green
before my eyes. It's like looking
on and seeing God at work." And
if no one was there, she very Of
ten would make a similar speech
to herself.
aunt Hetty," cried neighbor
one day in tones of evaporation,
"Pd like to see the weather you
wouldn't stand up for. It's never
too hot for you, as far as folks
can judge by what you say, and
it's never too cool. You never
scold when it rains, and never
fret over a drought. Amt there
any kind Of weather you object
to-"
"Dearie," returned Aunt Hetty,
darning away placidly, 81 made
up my mind years ago that the
weather got slandered oftener
than anything. It's not a good
habit to slander your neighbor,
dearie. And seeing we've all got
to live with the weather, day in
and day out, as long as we're in
this world, why not keep on good
terms with it? | can't say that I'd
be any better off for having con
niption fit every time the ther'
mometer goes up into the nineties,
and every time it drops to zero
There's nothing gained by scold
ing over every shower. Stop sland
ering the weather, dearie, and live
peacefully with it for a spell, and
if you don't own that you feel lots
better for it, I'll give your way a
trial"

There are some who confuse
and rush, and attempt to do sew.
eral things at once, and accom-.
plish little, while others proceed
quietly from one duty to another
and easily accomplish vast
amount of work. The difference is
not in the capacity of the two
classes, but in the regular method
of the one as compared with the
irregular and confused habits of
the other.

Ink stains, if fresh, will soak
out in milk. If, however, they
have been allowed to dry the ap-
plication of oxalic acid or salts of
lemon will be necessary.
To clean zinc wash thoroughly
with hot soda water and then rub
it with a flannel dipped in turpen-
tine.
When ironing handkerchiefs the
center should always be ironed
first. If the edges are ironed first
it causes the center to rise and the
handkerchief will not be smooth.
Care of Hands In Winter
The every day care of normally
nice hands is not difficult or
lengthy procedure. The hands
should be exercised about ten
minutes daily. Little piano-like
exercises of the fingers will keep
them supple and circulation good.
Then twice or three times week
the hand should be really mas
saged with a good massage cream.
The massaging should be done
from finger-tips to wrist with a
firm, steady, rubbing motion.
Water and soap and steam heat
make the skin unuaturally dry. In
this condition it cracks and
wrinkles more easily and picks up
dirt more readily. Therefore, af-
ter each bathing, the hands should
be rubbed with a good lotion to
soften the skin. If the hand is
unusually dry, the lotion should
be used every night before retir'
ing and worn to bed under a soft
old glove.

All into bits, he stopped his work

And wiped my tears, and said,

And then he showed me how to

And I took both my arms and
hugged him tight,
Once, when 7 asked him if he still
was there,
He called me in and rumDled up

An said: "Irow much alike are

Hutunnn'S Mirth

'Tis all a myth that Autumn greves,
For, watch the rain among the leaves;
With silver fingers dimly seen
1t makes each leaf tambourine,
And swings and leaps with elfn mlrth
To kiss the brow of mother earth;
Or laughing mid the trembling grass,
1t mods a greeting you pass.
Oh hear the rain amid the leaves,
'Tis all myth that Autumn grieves!
IT'S all myth that Autumn grieves,
For, list the wind among the sheaves;
Far sweeter than the breath of May,
Or stored scents of old Cathay
1t blends the perfumes rare, and good
Of spicy pine and hickory wood
And with a voice in gayest chime,
It prates of riled mint and thyme.
Oh! scent the wind among the sheaves,
'Tis all myth that Autumn grieves!
'Tis all myth that Autumn grieves,
Behold the wondrous web she weaves!
BY viewless hands her thread is spun
Of evening vapors shyly won.
Across the grass from side to side
A myriad unseen shuttles glide
Throughout the night, till on the height
Aurora leads the laggard light.
Behold the wondrous web she weaves,
'Tis all myth that Autumn grieves!
