' fcvhe is weary of engagements that «nust be punctually kept and is long ing for an aimless walk; or for an afternoon among the shops in pursuit of her hobby; or for the luxury 'just once to finish a magazine article with out interruption;" or. perhaps, for a long, lazy siesta in your favorite cozy corner. Something of her own choice will rest. her. while an afternoon at the club that interests you might only bore her. Tell her how you are going Co spend the day, assure her you would be glad of her company, but let her understand she is free to follow her own inclinations. Make no attempt to your usual bill of fare. Your guest will infinite ly prefer the newness of your dishes to an imitation of her own.

Hon a Pretty Piece of Fiirnllnrf Can Be Made lit Home nt n Coot of n Kew Dollars. The problem of storing hooks when one has not room for a bookcase, nor enough to fill it if she hnd, sometimes perplexes the "hall bedroom" young woman with a few cherished volumes. A simple and inexpensive yet tasteful hanging cabinet may be made by a carpenter from these directions at a maximum cost of a couple of dollars. It should be three feet long and about 18 inches high, with a middle shelf an inch or two narrower than the top and bottom, which should be about eight inches wide. No back is necessary, as tie cabinet hangs close to the wall. A r n r HOME-MADE BOOK CASE. strip of ordinary molding should fin ish the top. Here the carpenter's tvork may end and the young woman's begin. She buys a stain of color that harmonizes with other belongings, and stains the wood. .Just below the molding she puts brass fastenings for a slender rod on which to bang a silkon curtain. Above the molding she fastens screws with ringed tops, through which a brass rod elides to makfe a railing. Four fiat rings are screwed on the back for tl.e heavy picture wire, and one at each side to attach to the wall for firmness. A piece of dark burlap may be tacked on as a back, if desired.—N. V. Trib une. !-iC|t>al to All Emerffi'itclOß. It takes a woman to see great pos sibilities in little things. For in stance, a man never thinks of a tooth-brush as anything but a tooth brush, while a woman sees in it end less capabilities. If a winilow-pane rattles at night she wedges it tight with the tooth-brush. If she is sud denly required to stir a dose of medi cine in a glass, and a spoon is not at hand, she promptly and successfully uses the tooth-brush handle. She has even been known to use it to loosen the mold in a flower-pot, and in ex treme cases she can even drive in tacks with the same useful article. She can in an emergency make an ex cellent hammer with the heel of her boot, and transform a case-knife into an efficient screw-driver. Leslie's Weekly.

Some Plpannnt ( hnt Ahont Jennls Wilson \\ It one Work In Known to Jlnuy Headpn. In a little town in southern Indiana lives a young woman who has done much to add to the collection of sacred music. The hymns which she has composed have been sung by thou sands in various churches, who little thought that the author was so af flicted as to be almost helpless. Yet such is the case with Jennie Wilson, the "hymn-writer," as the people of South Whitley call her. She has never walked a step, being paralyzed from the waist down, but kind Providence has bestowed upon her a rare gift which she has utilized in making oth ers better and happier for it, while it has constituted her sole means of support. As a child she was extremely fond of music, but not until a few years ago did it occur to her that she could compose sacred songs. Her first was written at the suggestion of i ■v!. ! MISS JENNIE WILSON. (Kr.owr, as the Hymn Writer of Southern Indiana.) a neighbor who during a friendly chat hat? referred to the question of music in the local church, knowing Jennie's fondness for melody of all kinds. Iler first hvxnn was sung at the church ! which her family attends, and its j merits attracted the attention of sev- I eral well-known musicians. Since then | she has found ready publication for J nearly all of her efforts, and many of | her hymns are now included in collec j tions adopted by the Methodist ant} I Presbyterian denominations. Miss j Wilson speaks of her accomplishments in a very modest way. This is how she puts it:"I have tried to do the best I could in my situation, and many seem to think I have succeeded very well, but I do not want any undue credit. Letters have come to me idl ing how much my hymns are appre ciated, for which I am grateful." These few lines give an insight into the character of the woman which is clearer than might be gained by years of association with her. In all Miss Wilson has written over 700 hymns. — Loudon (Juiver. SICK ROOM ETIQUETTE. Wbnt to Wear, How to Art IIIMI W hat to !*ay When t'allinu on Con valescing Krienda. When calling on a convalescent wear some simple gown, not black, and a hat without plumes. Avoid jewelry or purse or ornament of any kind that jingles. Leave your furs and umbrella in some other room, and. if the day is cold, be careful to remain outside the sick loom until the temperature of the house has modified the chill of the open air still clinging to one's dress after first coming indoors. This touch of cold is very trying, especially to a neuralgic patient, who is painfully sensitive to any slight change of at mosphere. Never sit on the bed, but choose a straight chair and place it at a convenient angle for the patient to see without strain. Choose pleas ant, friendly subjects for talk. Some times the sick one will suggest what she wants to hear about after her long separation from the world, ll is al ways safe to wait for such a lea i, that is. if conversation is permitted. If the case is still of such a character as to forbid this, it will be wise to iestriet topics to impersonal subjects. Do not speak of a wonderful appearance of health after such an attack,because in the first stages one dots not like to come out of such an ordeal looking robust, or even fairly well. It is better to modify expressions of congratula tion to a few well vhosen hints as to the recovery. Whatever happens tiever contradict a patient. Remem ber she is unreasonable, the real wom an is not present, anil a visitor can afford to bide her time for a final set tlement until they both .stand on equal grounds. The last and most important reserve is never to ask ab->ut*he appetite and things to eat unless the nurse has first been consulted. The bare hint of a dainty will arouse a craving that two or three 4ays' acute misery will fol low the denial to gratify because of the danger. Illness leaves every one childish and feeble, and it is merciless to excite a mind already drained by disease for lack of a little precaution. First see the nurse, then go ahead. If these few practical suggestions are observed, and the visit is restricted to 20 minutes' duration, at the long est, a cheerful caller will be welcome to both nurse and convalescent, and the occasion will be a comfort and a distraction from the intolerable rou tine of a sick room that is so fiercely resented with the first dawn of health and a possible return to the accus tomed place in the world.—Ledger Monthly.

To my many friends: 1 am pleased to make a report to you of the pleasant visit ray wife and I had in Western Canada. We visited the territories of Al berta, Assiniboia, and Saskatchewan, and found them far surpassing our imagination, but little did I expect to find such rich, loamy soil, so much of it, and so uniform in its level prairie lay. I do think the soil of Canada as a rule equals if not ex cels the finest prairie farm lands of Indiana. These lands are immense in their richness, and when once the sod is rotted and pulverized, it is its pliable and ns easily cultivated as In diana sandy soil. Western Canada, from my point of view, offers as fino opportunities for mixed farming as any place in my knowledge. The long, sunshiny days, together with the rich soil, produce very fine wheat, oats, barley, flax and other cereal products. There is scarcely any attempt, to raise corn, except early varieties for tabie use. The season is too short to depend upon maturing field corn. From the standpoint of getting this land ready for the plow, 1 must say that I never 6aw such a vast extent, practically all ready, so all that one has to do is to hitch up the plow and goto work. This is not the case with all the Canadian land, however; some of it has quite a bit of timber, much of it may be called brush land, and some of it has lovely forest, groves, dotted here and there, thereby cov ering a hundred and sixty acres. I have no doubt but that this coun try excels as a grazing or ranching country, because they have such rich grass, having an abundance of rain to keep it fresh. They also have plenty of water streams, and as a rule water may be reached at a depth of from 20 to 40 feet. From this you see there can be plenty of hay mown for winter feeding, nnd I have had reliable farmers to tell me that their stock will feed on hay nlone, and be ready for market in the spring. I'pon inquiring about the expense of rais ing a steer, a farmer replied that he did not, consider it would cost any more than $4.00 or SO.OO to de velop a three-year-old steer. I truly think Canada offers a tine opening for a young man or a man who is renting land in Indiana. One hundred and sixtyacres of good black land will cost you only SIO.OO at the time you enter it, and by plowing and cultivating five acres each year for three years, gives you one hun dred and sixty acres of good land for SIO.OO. This land can be bought from the Railroad Companies, private cor porations or the Government for §3.00 to $4.00 per acre. From a financial standpoint, 112 be lieve that for a series of years (five), a young man can make SIO.OO in Canada, whereas he would only make SI.OO here, and I feel sure that I spent more money to get my eighty acre farm in White County, Indiana, cultivated, than it would cost me to cultivate eight hundred acres in Can ada. This may seem a strong view to take of the matter, but when you take into consideration the clearing, ditching, fencing and the expensive breaking in of the stumps, and then compare the expense to that of land needing only the breaking, you will conclude that it is not such a wild or exaggerated statement as you might at first thinlc. I enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmos phere. which was bracing and refresh ing. and the cool nights which made it so pleasant for sleep. On making inquiries regarding the winters in this country I learned that the people never suffer from the cold, as the weather is dry and invigorating, and in a great many places, farmersand herders allow their stock to run outside the year round. One great advantage to the settlers in Western Canada is the free cream eries established by the Government, and run exclusively in the interest of the farmer. I visited Thomas Daley, n farmer near Kdmonton, Alberta, who showed me oats he had raised, some of which took the first prize at the Paris Im position last year. The same yielded 110 bushels to the acre in 1599. Yours truly. FIlAJik FISHER Mexico. Ind. ~ * lie Wan IrUli. It happened at one of the Balti more police wt.itions.
