i
Women Need Exercise. |
The woman who does her own |
housework (and that is the fortune
of the majority) is usually worn out |
at the end of the day. She is apt to i
conclude, therefore, that exercise is |
a word not intended for her. She
2ouldn’t make a greater mistake,
writes Frances Frear in Leslie's. A
woman needs a half hour’s rest near
the middle of the day, it is true, but
she needs also systematic and stimu-
lating exercise. One reason why wom-
en are so fatigued at the end of the
day is that they lack muscle tone.
Half an hour of brisk exercise suited
to the peculiar needs of each individ-
ual, taken regularly, followed by a
cold dash of water will serve to keep
the whole muscular and nervous sys-
tem in tone and work wonders in
keeping the eyes bright and the color
good, something that all women de-
sire. The housewife who takes both
a brief rest and systematic exercise
daily will not find herself so much a
prey to that tired out feeling at the
day’s end, and will be able to do all
of her work the better.
Removing Foreign Bodies in the Eye.
Usually the eye can take care of it-
_self as the lid is very quick to close
and protect it from foreign substances.
But there are times when a tiny bit
will get embedded and if you are far
from a doctor, home-made helps must
be applied. Occasionally you find a
family medicine which contains an
eyestone, but its use by an amateur is
never recommended by an oculist. It
has been discovered that the most
comforting thing in the case of some-
thing in the eye, is to have a friend
apply his or her tongue to the eyeball.
It gives immedlate relief; the foreign
body is found at once and taken out,
the warmth of the tongue is very
grateful to the inflamed surface, and
the secretions of the tongue are very
healing, as is well known. The red-
ness leaves in a few minutes. This
safe suggestion is generally available
and is worth remembering.
Carbohydrates.
The carbohydrates were so named
because they contain much of the sub-
stances carbon and hydrogen. Carbon,
which forms the most of coal and wood
which we burn to heat our houses and
run our manufactories, forms a great
part of our F~2ad and vegetables, and
after being eaten it is burned up, or
oxidized, in our Lodies to make the
heat which helps us to digest our food,
and stimulates our nerves to action
to the giving out of the energy re-
“vuired in daily life. The carbohy-
drates, or starches and sugars, include
all the different kinds of bread and
‘cakes, biscuits and crackers, cereal”,
and all the different kinds of sugar-
containing sweets, preserves and pas-
tries. This class includes, too, most
of the fruits, which are made up of
starches and sugar mainly, though
some of them contain vegetable pro-
teids.
The Way to Boston.
Earlier in the day he had been 16
miles from Boston. He was now only
11 miles away. The condition of his
pockets was such that there was no
way for him to reach the city with-
out further wear on his shoes. Sev-
eral automobiles had rushed past him
toward the city, but, although he had
looked at them appealingly, the driv-
ers had made no sign that they were
willing to help the footsore pedes-
trian. He grew a little bitter as he
put one foot up and the other foot
down on the dusty road. Finally, he
was hailed by the driver of a car that
bore a Pennsylvania license number.
“Hey, there, do you know the way to
Boston?” “Yes, I do. Just follow me..
Iam going there.” The driver grinned.
The tramper reached Boston in 20
minutes.—Youth’s Companion.
Sovereignty.
The truth is this: All sovereignty
is in God, in the moral law, in the
providential lesign which governs the
yvorld—and which is gradually revealed
by the inspiration of men of virtuous
genius, and by the natural tendency
of humanity in the different epochs of
its existence—in the purpose which
we have to attain, and the mission
which we have to fulfill. There is no
sovereignty in the individual, there is
none in society except in so far as
the one and the other conform to that
design, to that law, and direct them-
selves toward the attainment of that
purpose. An individual who rules is
either the best interpreter of the moral
law and governs in its name or a usur-
per to be overthrown.—Mazzini.
Developing Algerian Iron Mines.
More than four million tons of ore
a year are expected to be exported
from iron mines in Algeria by French
capitalists who have obtained conces-
sions after more than ten years of
effort.
. Valuable Telegraph Line,
The Borneo islands boast a tele-
graph line constructed of mahogany
and ebony poles. This is no doubt
the most valuable telegraph line in
existence.
Vision of Fear.
Fear is sharp sighted and can see
things underground, and much more
in the skies.—QOervantes.
Optimistic Thought.
Batter ask than go astrav.
TO HIS SOUL-MATE AFFINITY
Traveling Man’s Confession to His
Wife Was of a Different Sort
From the Ordinary.
Dear Girlie—Just in from Rochester
and was a little disappointed at not
finding a letter here from you. I know
you are very busy dear, but this is a
lonesome job at the best, and a line
from a fellow’s sweetheart brightens
up the whole day.’
Business is nothing exciting, owing
to the season, and I find time to think
of you once in a while, which is most
of the while.
It gets kinder lonesome around here
sometimes, and I sit by the window,
stick up my feet, light my pipe and
dream of you—and the kids and home,
sweet home, and mighty pleasant
dreams they are, too.
Say, I have been dreaming of an old
sweetheart of mine today and was
wishing I had her with me now.
She had a sweet, womanly face, deep
blue eyes and wavy hair, a tall mili-
tary girl, just the kind to make a fel-
low rave over.
Don’t blame me for dreaming of this
dear old sweetheart, for I can’t help it.
Confession is good for the soul, and 1
don’t mind telling you I am dreaming
of her all the time. I'm married now,
1 but she is still my sweetheart and,
what’s more, she always will be, for
to me there is nothing on earth half
80 precious.
I'm told it isn’t wise to write to
one’s wife concerning old sweethearts,
but I must confess that the one of my
dreams is really the only one I ever
! had; the others were merely flames.
She is married now to a traveling
man and every week I drop in at her
home to see her. Don’t be cross at
me, dear. You see, she’s my affinity.
Good-by, until Saturday.—Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
FINED FOR GETTING MARRIED |
Members of Maay Organizations in
the Old World Are Under Pen-
alty to Defy Cupid.
There are certain sections and com-
munities who penalize marriage and
regard it in the light of a punishable
offense. :
It is the rule, for instance, at All
a fellow forfeits his fellowship if when
studying the classics he should take
unto himself a wife. In such an event
he must not only pay the penalty, but
must also present his college with a
memorial in the shape of a silver cup,
with the further condition that on the
cup shall be inscribed in Latin, “He
backslid into matrimony.”
Many readers have doubtless read
of the Bachelors’ club in London.
When a member so far forgets the
principles of the club as to marry he
is promptly expelled.
There is a similar organization in
Germany—the Jugesellen club. When- |
ever there comes to the officials of
this club any intimation that a mem-
ber contemplates matrimony, he is
immediately summoned for trial in the
club court, with the president as judge.
The culprit is allowed to plead in ex-
tenuation of his offense, and upon his
skill in presenting such plea depends
the amount of his fine, which ranges
from £20 to £200.
Building the Kitchen Fire.
A good way to build a coal fire in
a range is to crush paper and place it
in the empty firebox, lightly placing
on it finely split wood laid like lattice
work. On this arrange a second layer
of slightly larger kindling of hard
wood. Replace the covers and light
the paper from underneath. See that
all dampers are open and checks
closed.
‘When the wood begins to burn,
ghich should be in about three min-
utes, add two shovelfuls of coal so
placed as to rest on the burning wood.
When this ignites add coal to fill the
box to within one or two inches of
the covers—never above the top of
the oven, otherwise there will not be
air space to cause a draft.
In a few minutes, usually about five,
depending on the strength of the draft,
close the smoke damper so as to send
the heated air around the oven and up
the chimney. Keep the lower draft
open till the coal begins to look red
in a few places, then close all drafts.
Dolls of Long Ago.
The prehistoric Peruvians, accord-
ing to a writer in the Mothers’ Maga-
zine, had pieces of bone wrapped in
cloth, a male doll being identified by
the blanket over his shoulders, the fe-
male by a petticoat.
Horace makes mention of the stick
horses of the Roman children. Missals
of the middle ages picture little peo-
ple still astride such makeshift steeds,
and the ordinary riding horse of the
ordinary child remained a stick with a
horse head until late in the seven-
teenth century. One hundred years
later we find horse forms with cur-
tains around them, so that the child
may run on his own legs beneath the
sheltering drapery, just as clowns in
the circus do today.
Knew All About It.
In a certain small town an old min-
ister was in the habit of paying unex-
pected calls at the school, and putting
the pupils through a little examina-
tion. On one such occasion he asked
the class if there were any prophets
nowadays. This was a poser to the
majority, but one bright little fellow
eagerly held up his hand. “Well, my
boy, are there any prophets?’ asked
the minister. “Yes, sir,” was the an-
swer. “My father says that there are
small profits and quick returns.”
VARIED DIET FOR CATTLE
In Severai Parts of the World the
Feeding of Fish and Mutton
Has Proved of Benefit.
The use of fish and mutton as food
for cattle is, it seems, not uncommon
in certain parts of the world.
salt fish is fed to cattle, sheep and
horses in Shetland and Iceland. The
cattle kept for displays of strength
at the village festivals in certain sec-
tions of Madras are prepared for the
show upon a diet of mutton. And in
the same section bandicoots (the two-
foot-long India rats) are also often
ground up into stock food. Over sixty
years ago experiments were carried
out at Rothamsted, the great English
agricultural experiment station,
raising pigs upon a diet of dried New-
foundland codfish.
The Madras fisheries bureau has re-
cently conducted similar experiments
upon heifers. In this case controls
were maintained in the shape of an
equal lot of heifers fed on a vegetable
diet. At the end of six months it was
found that the fish-fed heifers had in-
creased 54 pounds in weight, where-
as the controls on a normal diet
showed a 70-pound increase. From
which it seems to follow that, as a
fattening ration for cattle, meat is not
desirable. The director of the Madras
station suggests, however, that in re-
gions where fish are plentiful and low
in price the surplus might to advan-
tage be used as a stock food. It re-
quires a little time and patience to =d-
ucate the cattle to the new food, but
once this is accomplished they con-
sume it with apparent relish.
POETRY AT SLUMBER TIME
Right Kind of Reading Will Compose
the Mind for Proper and Satis-
fying Rest.
retiring for the night's rest. it tends
to compose the soul and put it in
harmony with the truth and goodness
of things. A novel will not do that,
nor a newspaper, nor anything that
sets the mind in a flutter. Read-
ing a poem—one oi the good old kind
that goes into the heart and has a
| nice time there, is like floating down
Souls’ college, Oxford, England, that !
a quiet stream, past the fragrance of
mowers and the song of the birds.
Never had that experience, eh? Now,
very shiftless, indeed!
Did you ever try reading ‘‘Snow-
Bound” on an evening when the snow
was piling up the “silent deep and
white?” Well, try it, when the weath-
er allows. Whittier will give one some-
thing for any evening, Tennyson’s
Idyls are a little more urgent, but they
are as tranquillizing as a gentle arm
around you. Wordsworth is great, but
takes too much thought; Browning,
too, and Lowell, but Longfellow not so
much. But as easy as smiling is the
humorous kind, like Riley. But there
are hundreds of poems floating about
as sweet as a bush of roses. Take
them in and read them before going
to bed.
Grow Trees in Bottles.
Run a stout piece of thread through
the middle of an acorn and suspend
it by the thread half way in a bottle.
Drop in a few pieces of charcoal and
fill the bottle with water until the wa-
ter almost touches the acorn. Cover
the mouth of the bottle with paper and
stand it in a warm room. In time the
acorn will sprout, producing roots that
will feed upon the water, and finally a
stem and leaves will appear. Replen-
ish the water from time to time and
change it occasionally. This is a splen-
did object lesson for children.
When well rooted the oak can be
potted in a small pot and grown as a
house plant. The leaves will drop in
the autumn, when water should be
withheld. Barly in the spring knock
the ball of earth from the pot, care-
fully removing the old soil, shorten the
roots by cutting with a sharp knife
and repot in a slightly larger pot. In
this manner the oak can be grown as
a miniature for years.
Birth of the Needle.
When the idea occurred to some pre-
historic man of putting a hole through
the butt end of a sharp bone bodkin,
or stylet, such as we know that the
Aurignaciennes were already accus
tomed to use, and of thrusting a string
through the hole in order that it might
be drawn into the perforations of the
garment, the needle was born, from
youthful human genius, and so well
born that it has undergone no essen
tial improvement in all the countless
ages that have since rolled away.
Look at one of these prehistoric bone
needles in some archaeological collec-
tion and you will better appreciate the
merit of that unknown but glorious
Aurignacian Edison, whose highest
thought, perhaps, was to please and de-
light his wife!
Way Out of Difficulty.
Alice was paying a visit to her grand.
father, whom she dearly loved. The
morning after her arrival she entered
the dining room with a small rosebud
in her hand, remembering her grandfa
ther’s habit of always wearing a but
toniere. Beside her grandfather at the
breakfast table was seated a young
gncle of whom she stood in not a
little awe because of his merciless
teasing. “Good morning, Alice,” said
ner grandfather as she appeared, “who
is the rose for?” “She will give it to
the one she loves the best,” said her
ancle in a gruff voice. Just an in-
stant the little girl hesitated, then
looking from one to the other, she
sald, “Wait, I'll get another.”

Money Under False Pretenses. !
The pavement artist had departed
earlier than usual, and apparently in |
a hurry, for he had not rubbed out his
glaring efforts. I was speculating as
to why he should have decamped so
suddenly, when I saw a ragged and
very dirty boy stealthily take up the
artist’s position. After a careful look
round he took off his cap and held it
out in the true professional manner,
He had, in fact, to the uninitiated, be- |
come the pavement artist. I never
saw a smarter or more impudent
trick. Two pennies (neither was
mine) were dropped into his cap, and
then the authentic artist was observed
to be returning to his own. The boy |
was off like a shot and as he passed |
me he winked.—London Chronicle. |

Any Excuse, Etc.
Margaret was fond of eating at her
Aunt Daisy’s, but had been told not to |
go there too often for her dinner after |
school. When one excuse didn’t work !
she would try another. So one day she !
thought she would stop and borrow an |
umbrella as it looked a little rainy. Of
course she accepted Aunt Daisy’s invi-
tation to dinner. The next noon, how-
ever, when she called her mother on
the phone and said she was going to
stay to dinner her mother remon-
strated. “Why, you were just there
yesterday.” To which Margaret re-
plied, “I know, but, mamma, I forgot
to thank them for the umbrella I bor-
to do it.”
A Sugar Plant. :
An herb, called by the natives caa
ehe, but botanically Eupatorium re-
baudianum, grows wild in Paraguay.
It is remarkable for its sweetness. In¢

“sugar plant.” It grows along the
border of the river Amambahi, and

Astonished Minister.
The proud father had come up from,
the country to see his sailor son on
board his ship. He had never seen
a battleship before, and accordingly
marveled toereat. Just as he caught
hold of the two ropes which hung over
| the side to assist sailors to the deck,
he was somewhat surprised to hear
a clanging of bells—the eight bells
. of seamen’s time. As he stepped on
| deck he met the officer of the watch.
| He saluted him and said, timidly:
“I beg your pardon, sir, I’ve come to
| see my son Jack, but, ‘pon my word,
i I didn’t mean to ring so loud.”
