Choose Your Words.
A lady who was very plain looking
called on a friend.
This friend's little girl came into
the room and her mother introduced
her.
"Out, mamma, isn't she awfully
homely," said the "young hopeful."
"Why, Laura, you mustn't say such
things, It Isn't polite."
"I meant it only as a Joke."
"Rut, dear, how much more of a
JoUe It would have been if you had
said 'how pretty she Is.' "
Household Reform.
The reform that applies itself to
the household must not be partial. It
must correct the whole system of our
social living. It must come with plain
living and high thinking; it must
break up caste, and put domestic serv
ice on another foundation. It must
come in connection with a true ac
ceptance by each man of his vocation,
not chosen by his parents or friends
but by his genius, with earnestness
and love. —Emerson.

Ancients Were Wise.
Barbers, in the early days of the
Christian era, were not permitted to
talk while shaving a patron. Indeed
silence was so much appreciated by
persons while under the barber's
hands that mutes were preferred for
this service.
Enormous Sum Spent on Roads.
