Thomas Weutworth Uigginson writes an article on that most pleasing of subjects for thought ful man, marriage, and with mal ice aforethought, has it printed in "Success." He claims that it is "one of the best means of se curing happiness in married life that young people should not only love each other warmly, but should begin poor, if possible, and thus have the discipline of mutual sacrifices, and the pleas ure of making their way upward in prosperity by gradual steps. "A young girl may be brought up to every luxury, and may still, after marrying tho man she loves take a positivo delight in sacrific ing for his sake all her previous way of living; and she will do the honors of the log cabin as if it were an ancestral hall." He tells the story of a New York girl brought up in luxury, whose aunt said she was not fit ted for a poor man's wife, and who yeh made a good wife for a naval ensign, and managed so well that she saved some money out of his first year's pay. Neither Thomas Vventworth Higginsou nor anyone else can prescribe rules for happiness in married life. Neither poverty or riches are necessary to happi ness. He is right in saying that tho young people, or the old peo ple for that matter, should love each other, but beyond that he is all wrong. So far as outward conditions and circumstances go it is impossible for anyone to tell what will happen. ' It is a matter entirely of compatibility, temper ament (or temper) disposition. Riches might be the curse of one couple and the salvation of anoth er, aud so might bo poverty. Because Thomas Wentworth Higginsou knew a New York girl who had sense enough to be hap py witli a comparatively poor hus band it d ies not follow that a Chi cago maiden could do likewise. And then Thomas had no right to take the aunt's word for it that tho New York girl was not fit to be a poor man's wife. He has not given us enough of facts on the aunt. She may have been a young aunt, or at least an aunt who made herself look youthful; she may havi had matrimonial longings herself which she thought were being tampered with by the New York girl; in other words her remark may have been all spite and jealousy. She may have been one of the kind who can see no good in any one, not oven their nieces. Oh no; we will not take the aunt's word at all, especially in view of the fact that tho New York girl went .and proved that the old girl or the young girl whichever she was, did not know what she was talking about. To sum up: Thomas Weut-! worth Higginson has not proved j any tiling of value to the matri-1 mouially inclined. Nor will any- j one else ever do so, for each coup-1 le will do as it should do and as j every other couple of sense has i done time out of .mind, and that1 is, decide the matter for their j several selves, and then put their decision into practice and thus I -vn where) u they have erred, j piiitft Four Weeks With La Grippe, j We have rv:eived the following I letter from Mr. Roy Kemp, of! Angola, Iud., "I was in bed four j weeks with la grippe and I tried many remedies and spent consid- j erabh? for treatment with physi- i ciaus, but I received no relief un- i til 1 tried Foley's Honey and Tar. Two small bottles of this medi cine cured mo and I now use it exclusively in my family," Take no substitutes. All dealers. For Peace in Sontt Africa. As Itourke Oockran said at Chi cago on Sunday night, "however men may differ, about the invas ion of tho South African republics all are'agroed that the restoration of peace is in the highest degree desirable." And fnrther, The World is in hearty sympathy with the spirit of his eloquent plea thatthelogitimate moral influence of tho United States of the Amer ican people, should be exercised to promote the restoration of peace. That legitmato moral in fluence is great, and if exerted with friendly tact would prove potent for peace. The "if," however, is of the ut most important. It at once puts aside as an oratorical exuberance Mr. Cockran's appeals to Presi- Koosevelt to speak "one word" to tho British Ambassador aud end the war. "Oue word" will not do. The occasion is far larg er, more difficult, more delicate, tnan tnat. it caus lor not one word, but many words. They must be prudent words, or they will not be peacemaking. They must be carefully chosen and well-weighed words. They must be words spoken as a friend of Great Britian. They must be words which cannot possibly be twisted into an appeal to the jingo spirit of this country, or into a shadow of a suggestion of an af front to British natioual pride. l ne right to make sucn an ap peal is given to President Roose velt specifically by the Hague Ar bitration Treaty, to which both Great Britain and the United States are signatories. That treaty says: "The right of offering their good omces belongs to powers not connected with the conflict, even during the course of hostili ties, which act can never be re garded us an unfriendly act. Any practical attempt to re store peace to South Africa must of course be made with a full rec ognition of the facts of the situa tion. Great Britain cannot be expected to surrender the sub stantial fruits of the war which it has made at such great cost in blood and treasure. And if President Roosevelt is to act ef fectively, act upon the clear un derstanding that the United States is the friend of Great Brit ain as well as of humanity, act as a true peacemaker, it must be along the line of friendly and rea sonaoie suggestions sucn as Great Britain might accept with out injury to its dignity or pride, such as might save the republics from the fate of Poland and pre serve for them a self-governing future. On these broad lines we believe that President Roosevelt might uow make an attempt for peace. It would be creditable to him and to his country, even if it should fail. If it should succeed it would give him a unique and splendid distinction in history among the statesmen whoso ser vices have been valuable not only to their own country but also to mankind. And it would promote the high and honorable fame of the Republic as a world-power for world peace. New York World. Child Worth Millions. "My child is worth millions to me," says Mrs. Mary Bird of Harrisburg, Pa., "yet I would have lost her by croup had I not purchased a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure." One Minute Cough is sure cure for coughs, croup and throat and lung troubles. An absolutely safe cough cure which acts immediately. The youngest child can take it with entire safety. The little ones like the taste and remember how often it helped' them. Every fam ily should have a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure handy. At this season especially it may bo needed suddenly. When the weather is severely cold do not overlook the fact that to insert a cold bit into a horse's mouth is torture. Iron and steel ! rapidly conduct heat, hence the sensation of cold when the met als touched. Rubber bits are better and should be warmed be fore using. ' Stop It! A neglected cough or cold may lead to serious bronchial or lung troubles. Don't take chances when Foley's Honey and Tar af fords perfect security from se rious effeclg of a cold. All dealers. Why the Raw Sugar Tax Should Be Repealed. From the "American Grocer," Deo. 18. inoi. It is a direct tax on the work ingman's wages. It is an iniqui tous tax if not needed for revenue and because that which it seeks to protect needs no protection other than that essential to coun teract the bounty-fed sugars of Fiurope. Hawaiian and Porto Ri cau cane-sugar and domestic beet-sugar sold at a no-duty price would retnrn a handsome margin of profit, insuring a constantly increasing output of such sugar. . Raw sugar should be free: Be cause the present tariff is unjust, in that it encourages and pro duces inordinate profits, all tak en from the pockets of the people and adding to the cost of living. It encourages class legislation. It is a monstrous wrong, because the $30,000,000 contributed by the people of the country to this privileged class, together with $48,OO0,0O0ipaid the Government in duty, could bo transferred to the savings banks to tho credft of thousands, or used to increaso the home comforts of eighty mil lions instead of being unfairly and unjustly diverted through Government protection to still further fatten tho already ple thoric purses of a few. Raw sugar should be free: Be cause sugar is an absolute ne cessity of life and essential to the health of the people. Because free sugar would greatly encour age and increase the jam, pre serve and jelly industries of tho country. Under cheap fruit and cheap sugar the markets of tho world for these industries would be ours. Great Britain employs 150,000 working people in this branch of trade alone, and pro duces merchandise to the value of o0,000,000 or $110,000,000 year ly. Every farmer, therefore, is interested in this phase of the question. Raw sugar should be free: Be cause the present is a most pro pitious time to enact beneficial legislation of this kind. The Gov ernment does not need the rev enue, and the beet aud colonial cane producers do not need the protection. Cuba knocks at our door, asking for help. Why should it be denied? Have we not as sumed a protectorate over the island? Do we not practically direct its government? Cuban interests are ours, and we should deal with Cuba on a basis of broad liberality commensurate with the power and known generosity of this great Republic. It is for the United States to make or unmako Cuba. Perpetuation of the pres ent raw-sugar tariff on sugar im ported from that island means its ruination. Should we accept such a responsibility? It is on record and beyond question that the do mestic beet-sugar industry is a self-supporting and profitable en terprise without the aid of Gov ernment protection. Thousands Sent Into Exile. Every year a large number of poor sufferers whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs are urged to go to another climate. But this is costly and not always sure. Don't be an exile when Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption will cure you at home. It's tho most infallible medicine for Coughs, Colds, and all Throat and Lung diseases on earth. The first dose brings re lief. Astounding cures result from persistent use. Trial bottle free at W. S. Dickson's. Price 50c and 1.00. Every bottle guar anteed. The custom of having a rous ing big Christinas dinner is not only an ancient one, but it is the most universal of any custom known to the civilized world. A Profitable Investment. "I was troubled for about sev en years with my stomach aud in bed half my time," says E. Dom ick, Somerville, Ind. "I spent about 1,000 and never could got anything to help me until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a few bottles and am entire ly well." You don't live by what you eat, but by what you digest and assimilate. If your stomach doesn't digest your food you are really starving. Kodol Dyspep sia Cure does the stomach's work by digesting the food. You don't have to diet. Eat all you want. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cures all stomach troubles, Mrs. Ralston's Fashion Chat. As to muffs they are sim ply enormous perfect "grannie" muffs of our great-great-grand-mothers. The three quarter-length coat, which is-really the new coat of the Winter, is seen with many cloth suits aud promises to be popular. Suits of corduroy, which is an inexpensive and durablo material, are much liked, and very much worn, by young matrons and girls. These suits answer for all but extremely formal occasions. So mauy blouses and shirt waists are worn that the belt is an important ndjunct in fact, it is attention to just such little de tails that makes the well-dessed woman, combined with that ex cellent habit neatness. Belts are worn in nearly every form that is, as to the sorts and kinds of materials. But many of the new models show belts to m atch the tri m m ings of thegowns. In sizo they are either very nar row or very wide. Some fasten in the back, being laced to gether with ribbons through round loops of steel. Just a few words as to hats, which were never prettier, with a simplicity of shape and color ing that is very restful and charming. The low, flat trimming is still the best.aud the hats them selves are tilted a wee bit.but the tilt must not bo too marked. All sorts of beavers and soft silky felts arc worn. Of course, velvet is worn too, but only with one's best frock. Ostrich feathers are becoming luxuries nowadays so they aro kept more strictly for picture hats. Virginia Louis Ralston, in tho January Ladies' Home Journal. A Deep Mystery. It is a mystery why women en dure Backache, Headache, Ner vousuess, Sleeplessness, Melan choly, Fainting and Dizzy Spells when thousands have proved that Electric Bitters will quickly cure such troubles. "I suffered for years with kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Phebe Cherley, of Peterson, la., "and a lame back pained me so I could not dress myself, but Electric Bitters whol ly cured me, aud, although 73 years old, I now am able to do all my housework."

Don't put butter in your re frigerator with the wrappers on. Don't keep custards in tho cel lar in an open vessel. They are liable to become poisonous Don't use butter for frying purposes It decomposes and is unwholesome. Don't pour boiling water on chi na packed in a pan. It will crack by the sudden contraction and ex pansion. Don't moisten your food with the idea of saving your teeth. It spoils the teeth and you will soon lose them. Don't use steel knives for cut ting fish, oysters, sweetbreads or brains. The steel blackens and gives an unpleasant flavor. Don't scrub your refrigerator with warm water. When neces sary sponge it out quickly with two ounces of formaldehyd3 in two quarts of cold water. Don't put tablecloths and nap kins thatare fruit-stained into Jiot soapsuds;it setsor fixes thestains. Remove the stains first with dilute oxalic acid, washing quick ly in clear water. Mrs. S. T. Rorer, in the January Ladies' Home Journal. The millions of American peo ple who agree with Admiral Dew ey and Lieutenant General Miles in regard to the hero of Santiago are also by implication, included in the rebuke administered by tho President and Secretary of War Root. But the American people are not disturbed in tho least by this censure, aud they may take convenient occasion to recall it in the future. Waxed floors should bo dusted with a soft cloth pr dust-mop. i To remove dirt spots from such j floors wipe with a cloth which has been dampened with turpen tine. This will remove the wax, and it will then be necessary to go over tho spots with a cloth slightly moistened wax. Janu ary Ladies' Home Journal, J. K.
