The Average Educated Girl By JESSIE LLEWELLYN, Daughter of Ex-Governor Lllewellyn, of Kansas. In the present enthusiasm for the higher >' ■& ' education of women there is a growing dis g,, 'I parity in the college training of boys and g' r ' s - This is especially true of smaller towns and rural districts where sons are required to leave school before reaching their majorities ggto work on farms or in small stores. The k k daughters are sent away to school at 16 or IggpP*' thereabouts, probably to state universities or 'Sfe-:? boarding schools for girls where they spend \ four years in acquiring graceful mannerisms * I • v or C( ' ucat ' ons according to their tempera ments. T he unfortunate feature of such advantages for the average girl in moderate circumstances is that SHE ALLOWS HER "LITTLE LEARNING" TO OUTWEIGH IIER NATIVE JUDGMENT. Returning from school arrayed in her brand new education, she too often imagines herself a superior being and unfitted for her sur roundings. She is just a little ashamed of her father whose life has been one of patience and toil for others—herself chief among them perhaps. She wishes her mother would not say "Awful" and"l guess,' and she refers to the young men of her former associates as "primitive man," learnedly analyzing them. There is Tom Jones, for instance. The townspeople say he is "Awful smart." But he is guilty of unpardonable lapses in English, she argues, and he is not even "well read"—poor misused expression 1 To be sure he is studying law in his father's office up over Smith's grocery store and the old men shake their heads approvingly as he passes, but this Average Girl with an education smiles in a su perior way as she remembers that he cannot even dance. Her erudition weighs so heavily upon her and fills her with such a sense of responsibility that she migrates to the city where she has dreams of being a "bachelor girl;" of writing books or "teaching voice" until the Typical College Man appears and instantly recog nizes her lofty accomplishments. But oh, there are so very, very many Average Girls in the city and such a disheartening number of talented and even brilliant ones. The "Bachelor Girl" she finds to be a feminine misnomer. Instead there are hard-working, earnest young women with tired eyes and possessed of seemingly untiring energy. It is good to be at home again. What a really capable man her father is, with his practical sound judgment. How pretty is her mother with her white hair and sweet sympathy. And Tom Jones; where is he? With astonishment she learns that he is a junior mem ber of a reliable firm in the very city which proved too big and busy and complex for her. Finally this Average Educaed Girl who was wont to complain that there were "not enough college men togo around," begins to perceive that perhaps the men of broad business experience and care ful observation are quite learned enough to interest a university grad uate. She begins to question the superiority of a girl who imagines her education complete with her Commencement bouquets, to the young man in the midst of a more varied training in the world of af fairs. And then, eventually, SHE WILL COME TO SEE THAT EVERY-DAY LIFE IS THE GREATEST SCHOOL and that one's education is not a matter of four years, but of all the years of Folly in the Worship of Animals. BY LADY VIOLET GRTVILLE, Wife of Baron Greville, of England. Yto animals is a result of civilization. But (112) I « w ' ia * a ' ,out l ' lc excessive worship of animals exhibited "vA. /JB i|H/ bv people nowadays? There is a degree between the '"w '"w J brutal cruelty of the dumb creation indulged in by the Latin races and the sickly, unnatural affection man, (rU oJ2 women s ' low f° r their dogs. I know a lady who will not visit her relations in \? tdU England because she cannot take her dog with her, 7 owing to existing regulations, and others who have *\D given up the enjoyment of villas abroad rather than leave their pets behind them. To my remark to a friend who lived alone in a deserted spot in the winter, that I feared she would feel lonely, she answered: "How can I? I have my dog and my parrot!" I am myself very fond of animals, and like to have a dog about me, but surely this adoration and foolish craze for animals is erring as much, though in another direction, as the exercise of cruelty. Human beings have, after all, the greatest claim on our affection and sympathies, and while there are starving men and women in the world it cannot be right to expend so much time, money and affection in pampering our pets. The dog that only eats chicken, the peacock that refuses any meat but liver, the cat that prefers and receives cream, are all so many examples of our selfishness and want of bal ance. DOGS ()NLY TAKE WHAT WE GIVE. We have no scope for pure unselfishness in our treatment of them, we keep them for our pleasure, we put up, in their case, with 110 tempers, weaknesses or faults which are the portion of even the best-loved human beings, who need our comprehension and our sympathy. THE PHILOSOPHER'S VIEWS The surest end of a gamble is the bookmaker's. He holds the cash. A gossiping tongue is as dangerous to the peace of a community as a rabid clog. It is a coward who waits for luck to bring him the success he should be working for. Some men seem to win through "pull," some men do win through uerit, but time tells the difference. When you bet that which you cannot afford to lose you sin against yourself. When a man bets with you for that which you can not afford to lose he sins against you. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1902. CLEAN WATERING TUB. How a Donn-Knal Farmer Converted a Once Illrty S'prliiK Into a I'lace of Ileauty. It is n molasses barrel that figures in the illustration, though barrels that have served other purposes may easily be made suitable. The spring was in a little "run," or rather at the head of it, and the cattle going there for water always stood with their feet in the spring, making the water decidedly unpalatable for the cattle that came soon nfter them for a drink, to say nothing of ren dering the spring totally unfit foi people to drink from. "I'll fix that spring so it will be a 'joy forever,'" said Jack, a month a t >-• WATERING TUB AND COVER. after he had taken possession of the farm. He took the aforesaid mo lasses barrel and sawed it in two parts. He thoroughly cleaned out the spring and made a foundation of Hat rocks for the half barrel to rest upon. He made a similar foundation eight or ten feet down the"run" for the other half to rest upon, and ran a bit of iron pipe from the spring into the second half barrel. The one over the spring had a square opening made in the head, which was left into give a firm support to the staves, and a hinged cover put on top. A hinged cover was also pro vided for the loWier half barrel, so that it can be closed when desired. A tin dipper hangs inside the half barrel over the spring, so that man and beast are now provided for and each can drink the water at its best. ■ —Orange Judd Farmer. STRAW FOR LIVE STOCK. In Many Section* It Will Relieve tha •Shortage of Hay to a Consider able Extent, In many parts of the country the hay crop was very short, even in some places being almost an entire tailure. The corn crop, of course, will be immense, and for home use« the corn stover will largely relieve the hay shortage. If, however, no roughage but corn stover is fed, the animals get pretty tired of it, and will not consume as much of it as if they could have a change. Now, if the wheat and oats straw be saved bright and dry, large quantities of it will be eaten by the cows and young cattle if fed to them once a day with the stover. Even if there should be a good supply of hay about the place, if it can be sold, and straw made to substitute for part of it, there will often be more profit in selling it than in feeding it. There are always enough nutrients in bright, clean straw to pay the an imal for eating it, and in the ab sence of sufficient more nutritious fodders, it serves the good mechani cal office in the digestive operation of distending the stomach, or rather, of filling it. For this a quantity of v julky feed is essential in the ration for its most economical animal as similation, and where large quantities of concentrated feeds are given straw will often take the place of more expensive material. Even on our western farms, where straw is usually valued highly, many farmers maintaining that they can only afford to grow wh/'at at pres ent prices in consideration of hav ing the straw for bedding, we waste large quantities by using an un necessary amount for bedding, when part of it should be used in the mangers. If straw for bedding is cut into about one-inch lengths it will be found that about one-third as much as is used for each cow when uncut will keep the cow clean and be many times more valuable as an absorbent When we shall have so far advanced in our methods of economically car ing for, and properly using, every thing of value that our farms and our labor produce, then we wit] feed much more straw than now.—Farm and Fireside. , Wood Ashes for the Tlftx. The best pigs that we ever raised had all the wood ashes, with « little salt mixed in it, that they would eut says A. C. Green, the well-known breed er of Winchester, Ind. We think it is much better to keep a mixture of wood ashes and a little salt in a box where the pigs can goto it at will. They will go and get the ashes in the morning before they will eat their feed. We do not think it best to mix the ashes in the slop or feed, as that would make them eat more than they would want, and might be more than they ought to have. We have found soft lye soap, made from wood uslies, to be good to feed pigs to make them hearty and grow well. We think wood ashes and n little salt, kept wheve the hogs can get it, are worth more than all the cholera remedies put together. THOUSANDS OF WOMEN -™ DYING FROM CATARRH || That Is Why the ;, .

I shall never be without it and most cheerfully recommend it to others who are afflicted as I have been."— Katherlne Dauter, 289 13th St., Mil waukee, Wis. Most people think the success of Pe runa depends upon the use of advertise ments. Undoubtedly the advertise ments help some. But by far the great est number of people who hear of Pe runa, have their attention called to it by a friend. Some one gets cured of chronic ca tarrh by Peruna. After he is certain of bis cure, he is sure to recommend it to his friends. Friend recommends it to friend and the news spreads from tongue to tongue. All the advertisements In the world could not make Peruna as popular as It Is. Peruna cures. That Is the rea son people like It. Peruna cures a very stubborn disease. That is why everyone recommends it. Peruna cures chronic catarrh after all other remedies fail, which explains why Tlionfflitfalne»9 of a Survivor.

Peruna cures catarrh permanent* l,r „„rl 41, to 1, ly,_ and this way has gained ?. a life-long friend. People who have been cured by Peruna many years aeoliave been eager to recommend Peruna to their friends ever since. This is the way Pe runa is advertised. It advertises itself. Its merits are its chief advertisement. Once cured of so distressing and exas perating a malady as catarrh, it becomes the duty of every one to pass it along; to call the attention of those who are still victims, to a remedy that rarely fails to cure. Ucwnre of Cheap Imitations of Pe rn-na- He Sure That You Get Pe-ru-na. There are no substitutes for Peruna. Allow noone to persuade you that there is something justas good. The success of Peruna has tempted many people to devise cheap imitations. Beware of them. Be sure that you get Peruna. Miss Jennie Driscoll', 870 Putnam ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: " I heard so much in praise of Peruna as a specific for catarrhal affections that Only One of Many. Smith—Sad thing about Brown, isn't it? Jones—Don't know. What's the trouble?

And my convictions were not wrong, for in a few weeks after using Peruna systematically I wasentirely rid of this aggravating and distressing disease, catarrh. "If people knew how efficient Pe runa was for this trouble they would not hesitate to try it. I have all the faith in the world in it, and have never known of a case where the person was not cured in a short time."—Jennie Driscoll.
