The average housewife finds more use for a tack-hammer and stove-lid lifter than for algebra and geometry. The humblest home may be made at- tractive with flowers and music, and these are factors of happiness far great- er than the trappings of wealth. Half the joy of life comes from get- ting good out of things as we go along. Some of us are always putting off our enjoyments. After a while we expect to take a rest,see a friend, read a book. But after a while never comes. The good time we are looking forward to lies ns far away as ever. All our life is spent in meaning to overtake it and enjoy it. Meanwhile we toil, drudge, and grow old, passing by with unseeing eye the happiness we might get out of every day. Let us study the value of the beauti- ful. The influence of the beautiful is largely of a subconscious nature, it is silent, permeating and powerful. The ministry of the beautiful has a refining effect. A taste for music, poetry, pic- tures, etc., tends to destroy the attrac- tion for the vulgar. A home of beauty, of taste and refinement always tends to elevate and ennoble the mind, and cultivate the spirit of contentment. Beauty fills the world, if we have eyes to see it. It is open to all. The rose is as fragrant, the lily as white and. the hyacinth as delicately blue, when cul- tivated by the poor, as by the jeweled fingers of the wealthy. GOOD MOTHERS. It is claimed that all the Presidents of the United States had good mothers. It is said that John Q. Adams until the day of his death said the prayer his mother had taught him. Lincoln said, “Allthat Tam I owe to my mother.” Garfield kissed the wrinkled face of his mother on the day of his inaugura- tion and said: “You brought me to this.” Grover Cleveland said, “World- ly honors or worldly perplexities will never cause me to forget the lessons my mother taught me.” As the shad- ows lengthen, the memory of a moth- er’s love becomes intensified. The vision grown dim with age becomes clear, and pictures of childhood days rise before us in their perfection. It is well ro few instances are on record where a mother has failed to impress her children with the value and purity of a mother’s love. Most of our great men accord to their mothers the credit of their best achievements. The moral nature of the child is largely what he inherits from his mother. Genius of- ten comes from the father. We often see sons of plain, uneducated mothers ri<e to eminence. A mother may be morally and mentally strong, yet phys- ically so weak she can give to her child little aside from her lovable nature, and this child will grow into a passive creature, who wiil never cause a rip- ple in the world’s affairs. To emphasize the influence of the mother physiologically is unnecessary in our day. when everyone has his quota of scientific knowledge. Queen Victoria was a grand sample of perfect motherhood. This queenly woman and womanly queen has had an influence upon the world in wifehood and moth- erhood. The mother of Nepoleon, Marie Bamolino. was not what is term- ed an educated woman. She married at thelage of “sweet sixteen,” yet de- veloped into a very strong character. It is claimed by his biographers that Napoleon inherited his firm will and lofty ambition}ifrom his mother, and not from his feasy-going father. Na- poleon said of his mother, “She has the head of a man on the shoulders of a woman,” and he always went to her for counsel in the important affairs of life, yet he did not always follow her advice. We shall not venture to speak of Mary Ball, the mother off Washington, furth- er than to say she was a woman of high temper and indomitable spirit. Her nephew ftLawrence {| Washington, who occasionallyjvisited in the Washington home, said, “I was ten times more afraid of mylaunt than of my parents; my aunt was’the presiding genius of the home, and she awed me by her kind- ness.” A POPULAR FOOD PLANT. What a great discovery the tomato was as an article of food. While most food plants are of comparative ancient origin, there are plenty of people living today who can remember when it was only an ornament cultivated for the beauty of its dainty blossoms and handsome fruit. While its beauty was admired, it was considered like the poisonous [Joak, dangerous to even handle, except by “dark complected” persons. Years of acquaintanceship, however, wore off its superstition and a few “fool-hardy” actually owned up to having tasted the fruit. From this small beginning, has grad- ually grown a use that makes today an industry with a combined capilal of over thirty millions of dollars, which disburses millions of dollars to its em- ployees each year and aggregates an output of two hundred and forty mil- lions cane. This product goes into every household in the land and is as familliar an article of diet as any other of the staple products of the soil. Each year sees an increasing consumption, and the more intimate the acquaint- ance the greater the use. The reason for this is very obvious. There is no better appetizer, and as an article of seasoning the tomato imparts a taste that cannot be imitated. It is so distinctive that its presence @gan be located even in minute particles, yet the pungency has everything that de- lights the palate and nothing that of- fends the nostril The growth of its general popularity dates back to the time of the first suce cessful packing house. When the use ot the tomato as a food was established, demand made it necessary to have a cheaper price than the local market gardner could afford, and to meet this the tin can as a diminisher of space was called into requisition. It was found much cheaper proportionately to raise one thousand bushels than ten, so by the aid of the tin the cooked pro- duct could be placed on the consumer’s table at a price so reasonable _as to enable its daily use. Moreover, the article put in the can is brought fresh picked from the field, hermetically sealed and immediately sterilized by heat, while the uncanned fruit is fre- quently shipped for hundreds of miles before it is used as a food. This arti- ficially ripened fruit must be gathered green, and the red color it finally as- sumes is the withering of hungry tiss- ues that should have fed the fruit with the red nourishing juice that comes from the soil and by the aid of Mother Nature is thus transformed. No pre- servative is used by the canner as the action of heat insures keeping for an indefinite time. There is nothing else so wholesome as this rich, ripe fruit dumped out of the clean white can ready for any use. The taste is equal to the fresh fruit, and every semblance of waste in shape of rind or core has been removed. Eat it?—why the very sight and smell are irresistible. and the most insistent ap- petite can be sated because of its abso- lute harmlessness. Its healthfulness has never been attacked, and the rich juices colored as the life-giving fluid act as a tonic even for the invalid stomach. There is no home where its visits are not welcome, and the table of either the millionaire or peasant is alike familiar with its presence. As Indian corn, it is distinctly of American origin, and proud indeed can we be of both of these excellent food plants.

Hence in a place like this you would be in great danger.” “How do you know I can’t tell what direction sounds come from?” the ap- plicant demanded. “No person deaf in one ear,” replied the boiler-maker, “can do so. A man deaf in one ear will look behind him if a gun goes off on his right. He will look up in the air if a child shrieks at his feet. He will look wildly in front of him if a locomotive whistles in his rear. A boiler shop is no place for such a man.” «T knew I was like this,” said the ap- plicant, “but I didn’t know all half-deaf people were.” “They all are,” said the boiler-maker, “and my shop is no place for them.” “J wentieth Centary” {graphophone 16 TIMES LOUDER THAN ALL OTHER TALKING MACHINES THE MOST MARVELOUS TALKING MACHINE EVER OONSTRUGTED Wonderful Sensational eg STYLE PREMIER $100. ® Absolutely New Principles The Latest Invention Patented in all Olvilized Countries REPRODUCES COLUMBIA AND ALL OTHER CYLINDER RECORDS ws NEW Twentieth Century Cylinder Records HALF FOOT LONG SPLENDID FOR DANCING PARTIES A Perfect Substitute for the Orchestra.
