Woman's World
Concerning Useless Old Women.
The Charm of Tactful Silence.
Keep Out of the Kitchen if You
Look For Good Results :: :: ::
"Whnt Is your dully prayer?" wiih
the questiou anked at u recent i;llglous
gathering of women. "What petition
does each woman here repent day aft
er day as the wish of her heart?"
Some answered one tiling, Rome an
other, hut one little woman excited
universal comment hy replying, "I
pray every night and morning of my
life from the bottom of my heart that
i may never become useless In my old
age.
"I see so uuiuy useless old women,"
she went on ti explain, "women no
one would miss, and In uiotd cases It
would lie n mercy for them to be taken
away. They are so bored with life, so
without resources, so heavily depend
ent on those about them, not only for
support, but for amusement. They are
no earthly good either to themselves
or to others.
"Selfish, fat old womeu, lean, quar
relsome old women, old women who
never had a real live interest In the
iworld about them, who have been
dead ones' all their lives I pray I may
never be like them. I may not be one
of those famous old women the world
misses when they are oae; I may not
be a genius, an artist, sculptress, an
actress of renown; I may not be a phi
lanthropist or a lender among my own
sex arriving to uplift them to stronger,
better things, but let me at least lie In
active touch with the living world to
the last. I want always to find the days
too short for what 1 have planned to
do in them. From being an old lady
shivering by the fireside, dependent on
my family, heaven deliver me!
"I want to be mourned not as a de
crepit old foul heaven has mercifully
BEADING! STOCK QUOTATION'S,
taken out of this life, but as a useful
member of society every one will
miss."
How many of us feel like this wo

Concerning Tact
"Tact is supposed to be a womanly
Tlrtue," observed Mrs. Brightly, "but
you've got to convince me. A man
knows at least enough to keep quiet
at a crucial moment, and that is tact
In its highest form. Many a woman
4oes not possess that particular braud,
I can tell you.
" 'There Is a time for everything.. and
everything has Its time," Is a motto
which should hang In every woman's
boudoir.
"Why Importune a mau when he
Is tired, when he Is blue or. worse
still, when be is eating? i
"I have known women so devoid of
tact that they actually recited their
petty household woes when their bus
bands were reading their atocU ex
change quotations and worrying their
beads off because they dldu't know
Just exactly bow much money they bud
lost '
"Just Imagine how Interesting It
must be to hear that Bridget burned a
bole In one of the best napkins when
you raad that Spotted Tail Copper went
down five points, the next dividend
having been cut In half, and you are
wiped out of the game by this thought
less move of the directors!
"Ob, Joy! Oh, bliss! Ob, rapture!
How yon wish then for a wife with
enough tact to 'bide a wee' In silence!
"There is a time for pots and pans,
for frills and for baby talk, and there
Is a time for more weighty matters.
How many women have tact enough
to discriminate?"
Just a Hint.
I cannot Imagine bow a woman can
be foolish enough to keep poking her
nose In the'kltchen, annoying the cook
lady and disturbing things generally.
Many s worthy servant Is lost In this
way.
"Cookie" does not appreciate the
madam's well meant efforts to help.
Bbe wants to be left supreme In her
domain.
- If she Is a good servant, sho )s suffi
cient onto herself, and If she is a bad,
Incompetent on why keep her?

TASTE IN FURNISHING.
Woman Has rrua-renncd In This ni In
ISverythliift) ttUe.
There was once a man who didn't
know much about women.
lie was engaged to a' girl he adored,
and, with the well meant notion of sav
ing her unnecessary worry and labor,
he gave her the pleasant (?) surprise of
taking her to a Hat which he had fur
nished himself all ready for her occu
pancy. lie did the best he could, going not
by Ills own tastes, which are simple,
but by those he fancied women In gen
eral had.
The plnee was replete with gim
micks. There were tassels In the door-

would have suited tha average woman
ten years ago. Hut woman, 1ms pro
gressed in gool ta te as well as In ev
erything else. Simplicity Is now the
keynote of the best furnished homes.
Few colors are combined, and these
must Invariably be soft In' tone. The
draperies are no longer tortured Into
weird loops and curves. They hang to
the floor In natural folds. Sometimes
an entire house has its lace hangings
of the same pattern. This presents
neat uniform appearance from the
street.
A single good rase Is decoration
enough for a mantel, and the word
bric-a-brac has almost gone out of use.
Ceilings are plain and wall papers near
ly so, the principal exception being tap
estry effects for dining rooms. Even
these tapestry effects are softened by
. the use of simple white woodwork.
The lines of the furniture have never
been so free from useless ornamenta
tion. Truly the piodern woman has
cause to congratulate herself on her
i emancipation from the trashy and
falsely ornate. R. PE LA BAUME.
UNATTRACTIVE WOMEN.

te Be So.
"What Is the greatest beauty of wo
man?" asked the sculptor.
We basarded different opinions.
"You are all wrong. It Is expres
sion," be declared, "(live me tbe plain

quick Intelligence and expression In
her face I can make a portrait of ber

Why are there so ninny hopelessly

lighten them.
But they can't help being stupid!
Can't they, though? They can eat less
and lep less and devour fewer cheap
novels.
They can banish fashions and serv
ants from their conversation and take
notice of what Is happening In this
big wide world. '
Oh, yes, the unattractive woman has
only herself to thank for being both
homely and stupid. Tbe bright woman
will always be admired.

POMONA'S FINANCES.
How Rhnll IHonrr ll Raised By Fee
r Duenf
How shall Hie Tommm grange secure
Its finances? is the question which
sometimes arises for discussion In Po
mona granges. There is one of three
ways charge members an Initiation
fee alone, or an Initiation fee nnd year
ly dues, or let each subordinate grange
pay per capita dues to the Pomona
grange. A Pomona grange does not
need a large sum In Its treasury, nnd
yet a comfortable fund for any exigen
cies Is desirable, remnrks a writer in
the Country Gentleman. Wo believe
that the Initiation fee of 50 cents per
member, as In New York, will be
found to be sufficient for all the needs
of most. Pomona granges, nnd this
surely Is a most convenient arrange
ment for procuring the finances of tbe
county grange. If we have a per cap
ita tax for both Pomona and state
granges, there will be but little left for
the subordinate grange, and If annual
dues are charged members of the Po
mona grange It would require a very
considerable amount of labor on the
part of the secretary of the Pomona
to see that these dues were collected.
Where the Initiation fee Is made the
sole source of revenue the Pomona
should' not admit to Its fifth degree
session, and of course cannot, any
fourth degree member who has not
taken the fifth degree. In other words,
to open a Pomona grange1 on the
fourth degree nnd perform nil the
work In that degree, except Initiation
of candidates, would be to give the
advantages of the Pomona grange to
members of the subordinate granges,
whether members of the Pomona or
not
, DEGREE WORK. . ,
A Maine Japer Thinks It Coasamea
'Too' Maeh Time. 1 ' ;'
Perhaps the , greatest bar to bene
ficial achievement In some of the
younger and most rnpldly growing1
granges In Maine, says the Maine
(Tanner, Is the, almost constant luitln
ory work going forward. Not a few of
such have scarcely a regular meeting
during the active season which Is not
devoted to -.vorkjug degrees on classes,
which in many Instances are composed
Of but two or three candidates. The
work may be well done nnd Is of un
doubted Interest to those being In
structed, but to the members not In
the game the constant consumption of
time for this purpose sooner or Inter
dampens their enthusiasm for", other
work of Importance.
If the grange In Maine should estab
lish a rule that no degrees should be
worked In any subordinate grange ex
cept at two stated 'meetings during
each quarter without a speclnl dis
pensation from the state grunge offi
cials, we bellevo the effect woiikl be
of great advantage to the Order, By
this method special -preparation could
be arranged and the work madu of n
much higher character, thoroughly en
joyable to candidates, spectators and
those performing the work.
Waste of time and consequent ab
sence of genuine, enthusiastic discus
sion of the Important problems of local
and state Interest cannot be neglected
by an organization like that which
the Patrons of Husbandry baa now be
come. Such neglect can mean only tho
loss of Influence, 'which never was
more needed than at the present tlruo
for holding advantages already gained
and advancing other essential reforma
tory mensures which organized Inter
ests In different lines of activity will
nse their utmost Influence to prevent
being secured.
EXPENSES AND PER DIEM.
Shoald Delea-atea to tha Stale Qraace
Be Paid by the Day or Mileage? -
Secretary George R. Drake of tbe
New Hampshire state grange, being
asked by the editor of this department
for an opinion on this subject, suld: "It
Is my decided opinion that It Is- better
to pay the actual traveling expenses
of the delegates in attendance at tbo
stute grange, but it does not seem lost
to pay their expenses for board.
"The New Hampshire state grange
officers, the forty deputies and the
masters and their wives or husbands of
each subsordlnute and Pomona grange
In the state draw pay from the state
grange for the actual amount of car
and stage fare, and each Is paid $1.25
per day for tbe time In actual attend
ance at the meeting.
"The committee on mileage and per
diem can easily make up tbe expense
account of the session from the printed
list of railroad rates always at hand,
which Is 1 cent a mile for the round
trip. By paying each delegate and le
gal attendant at the session a specified
um we avoid any complications and
very much simplify any delicate ques
tions that might arise concerning any
extravagant board bills."
Tha Grano and Tamaaraaea.
The question occasionally arises In
grange communities as to what tbe
position of tbe grange Is concerning I
temperance. ' At tbe last meeting of the j
national grange tbe following resolu- j
tlon was adopted:
Resolved, That the grange hereby re
news Its fealty to temperance In all
thlnga; that It emphasise Its belief that
tba degrading American saloon ought to
be carefully and rigorously guarded until
It can be abolished and In the meantime
be made and held to a strict responsibility
for tha harm It does, and that It believes
that every community should b empow
ered by law to vote ever? saloon from Its
midst or borders.
CORN TALK.
A Rlndy of Important Points la the
JudKliiK of Corn.
There appear to be some vital points
both us to desirable qualities and de
fects In picking out a good ear of coru.
Professor V. M. Knoosnillh of the state
college bus prepared for the Kansas
boys who engage In corn contests a llt-tli-
study of corn which furnishes nn
elementary guide in corn Judging and
Includes among Its twenty-seven prac
tical questions and answers the ones
here reproduce '
First. Why . ..1 corn be studied
as to triteness to typo or breed?
So that a better iden may be bad as
to the certainty with which the char
acters will be transmitted. Corn pos
sessed of deslrulilu characters, but
little breed type, Is of little value,
since these characters may be substi
tuted the following season by Intent
or hidden characters of little value.
Hardiness, productiveness and other
Invisible characters may be as distinc
tive breed characteristics as the color,
shape of ears, etc., and these must be
Judged by the type as seen in the vis
ible characters.
Second. How mny the trueuess to
type best be Judged?
By studylug the uniformity of the
ears in shape, size, stralghtuess of the
rows, color, etc., and also by study
ing the uniformity of the kernels In
size, shape, color and Indentation. The
uniformity of ears is studied by com
paring wltb the "standard of perfec
tion," but as It Is difficult to sufficient
ly define the standard of perfection for
the kernels a beading "Uniformity of
Kernels" Is placed on the score card.
Third. Why should an ear of coru
be cylindrical or nearly so?
Because this Is the only shape which
will permit of the same number of
rows throughout the length of the ear
and also the snme size and shape of
kernels In all parts of the ear. In a
tapering ear there must ho some short
rows or the kernels must be larger or
have more space between them at butt
than at tip of ear. In such an ear or
one of Irregular shape some of the
kernels must be of Irregular size or
shape, Which will not permit of an
even distribution by the planter. "
Fourth. What W the proper ratio be
tween the length aiid the circumfer
ence of an ear of corn?
Although there Is not much experi
mental data to show that an ear of
com should be of exact proportions,
most corn breeders agree that the ratio
between length and circumference
should be about as 10 Is to 7. It
appears that enrs which are long and
slender are often associated with plants
which are not possessed of the great
est vigor and hardiness, and also such
ears have a relatively small percentage
of grain, while ears which are large In
' circumference nnd short nre usually
late lu maturing and also often have a
I small per cent of grain because of an
extremely large cob.
. The Irish Cobbler.
While not a recent Introduction,' ha v
lug been grown for many years In Con
necticut and Long Island, the Irish
Cobbler potato 1ms only lately nttrnct
. ed the general attention of eastern
( growers- as a profitable early market
i variety. It Is not ttt first quality Infe
I rlor even to Early Ohio but Is such a
fine grower and reliable cropper under
ordlnnry trucking conditions that It has
literally forced Itself on the attention
of market gardeners. Its origin ap
pears to be something of a mystery.
Seedsmen and dealers disclaim knowl
edge as to when or where It first got
Into cultivation, but have generally
been compelled to catalogue It. Seed
stock bas not always been easy to ob
tain, but will be freely ofTorod the com
ing year. Tbe plant is strong and up
right In growth, with thick nnd healthy
dark green foliage. The potatoes 'In
good soil run from medium to large,
oblong In shape, with thin white skid
nnd rather prominent eyes. They grow
rapidly and usually reach marketable
size within a week of Early Ohio plant
ed pt 'the same time, bnt far outyktld

quality of the young tubers Is very tol-
' crabie, but falls off as maturity Is
leached.' Notwithstanding Its rather
unsatisfactory cooking quality Irish

PRESCRIPTIONS.
A Medlrnl Explanation of Why They
Are Wrlllri In l.alln.
The use jf Latin by physicians In
prescription writing Is commonly re
garded as a harmless survival of
tnedhevnlls:!!. Occasionally a lay writer
suggests its abandonment. In com
menting on a recent uoto to tills effect
In a dally paper, which advocates tho
compulsory use of English lu prescrip
tions, tho Druggists' Circular and
Chemical (Inzetto takes occasion to
make a strong defense of tho time
honored practice Says this paper:
"Suppose the sapient writer quoted,
whose utterances tuny sound all right
to thoso who know no more of his sub
jects than be does, should fall sick and
bis physician should decide that the
one thing needful to save his life was
Geranium robertinnuni. If there wero
a law preventing the doctor from pre
scribing la Latlu he would have to
choose sue of the upward of a dozen
English nnmes for this drug. Suppose
he chose 'redshanks' and so wrote the
word In bis prescription. When the
druggist went to prepare the medicine
he would find that 'redshanks' was the
English name of at least four entirely
different plants nnmcly, the one al
ready mentioned, Polygonluin am
phlblnm, Polygonum perslcaria and
Rumex acetosa.
"As with redshanks so with hundreds
of other drugs. Aaron's heard may be

Then Is the druggist to dispense Clml

Two or three Chicago lawyers were
discussing the tricks of their trade.
"A big, burly fellow from tho Michi
gan pine forests came into my office,"
said one of them, "and told a very
mean story about a rich man here in
town who, waa trying to cheat him out
of 12,000 or $3,000 and who had man
aged to get, a pretty tight clutch on
the money. The backwoodsman looked
and talked like an honest man, and the
old miser's reputation wus mean
enough io match the story, so I felt in
clined to believe It When he had fin
ished I looked lii in up and down from
head to foot. He asked mo what I was
looking him over for. 'Well,' said I, 'I
was thinking that If I were over six
feet tall and as powerful a man as you
I wouldn't hire a lawyer to help me get
that money.' Tbe man's excited face
smoothed out Into blank astonishment
'What do you mean? ho said. I an
swered: 'I mean Just what I say. You
are sure, are you, that he has that
money lu bis office?' 'He bad it there
last night.' 'Well, you don't need a

RHEUMATISM IS CURABLE
IF ORKMMS USED .
ALL OTHER TREATMENTS FAIL
Is It the unhealthy foods we eat or
the rapid pace in which we live that
cause such an endless amount of Rheu
matism nowadays? The disease has cer
tainly reached an alarming point, as
nine-tenths of the adult population in
this country are more or less afflicted
with some form of this maddening dis
ease. Recent investigation has proven
the fact that Rheumatism is a blood
disease, therefore, many bright chem
ists and physicians bave bad good
ground to work upon, and they have
succeeded in compounding a remedy,
which, if naed aa advised, cannot fall to
drive and eliminate from the blood and
muscles all trace of man's greatest
evil. Poison Rheumatic Acid. URIC-O
la the name of this remedy. It is a
liquid treatment, made and designed to
cure all forms of Bheumatism and good
for no other disease. There is no poi
son, no alcohol or whiskey entered into
the composition of URIC-O. It is sim
ply a powerful, dissolvent of Uric Acid
and other deposits which seriously
affect the kidneys.
URIC-0 1s sold at $1.00 per bottle by
druggists generally, or can be obtained
