Mm Mabel Plumb, an employe of the telegraph company for twenty-five years, killed herself at Joliet 111 She had been made Insane by the constant clicking of the sounder She left a note saying-: -My head hurts My eyes are growing dimmer The click of the instruments Is maddening.

Before It wears you out and drives you to the point, or near It. to which It took the poor woman In our text, get relief. When things go well with us, and our dally Lives run in straight well or dered lines, we do not bear the click. It Is part of the bum of easy running machinery that Is so pleasant to hear. But let the work become wearisome, let the brain or the body be fagged, and the click rises superior - to the music.

Four hundred years ago lived Ste phen Iliiwes, su English poet known only to students of literature. lis left little for future generations to rend, but be penned two lines which. In the opinion of competent critics, are enough to save bis uaiue from oblivion. They are: For, though the day be never so long. At lait the bell rlngeth to evensong. Of course the thought itself was not original with Hawea. It must have come to blm from antiquity, for ever since the world began men have been preaching aud listening to the philoso phy of One day at a time. Strictly true It Is not, since day la only one link In a lengthening chain of days We cauuot take the chain apart no matter how hard we may try nor how certain that we may be that the world knew us not before our eurthly birth and will know us not after the breath of life has left our bodies The ro unitcst day In the annals of time Is Joined with Its successor and with all Its successors to make today, aud to day already stretches out Its hand to tomorrow and to all the coming tomor rows. But "one day at a time" has its truth nevertheless. It tells us to let the cares of the day fade into the dissolving hues of the. sunset. If they are business cares lock them up when you snap shut your desk. If the field you plow Is stony do not pick the stones from the fur row to exhibit tbeui as parlor orna ments Throw tlietn aside as you go through the furrows. When evousong rings out Its call to rest aud ieace let uot its melody and harmony bo disturbed by thoughts of the sorrows and cares, the worries and troubles of the day. It is very easy to offer such ad vice and ditlicult to put It Into practice. Into every life come the Insistent cares, the troubles that will not b waved aside, that will not melt away with the, coming of the eveulng. If they are real cares, and not fig ments of the imagination' they must be fought bravely No amount of op timistic philosophy, no cheerful advice of "Forget It!" will make then less reaL But after all. In one sense It is troe that we live only one day at a time. If we lire that one day rightly as it comes to us. tomorrow will be a better day. ' Keeps an Eys en the Dsnoer.

The materials are wash able aud durable, and the most proinl. neut stitches are those which require the least labor. The busy woman of to day likes designs which quickly and easily give effective results. Uncus and crashes tu white Slid naU oral tones are seen In centerpiece, dresser scarfs and pillow cover Dresser scarfs and pin cushions In white pique have scalloped edges aud embroidery done In color. Coronation end Torpedo Braids. Coronation braid Is used In combine Hon with torpedo braid.

Darning, or Terslan embroidery as tl is called, Is given quite a slant, produc ing a decidedly new appearance! The designs and colors are lu Persian ef fects, and the darning stitch Is worked over a tinted background. Many of the pillow covers, table runner and dress er scarfs are good imitations of Per sian rugs, both in the design and color ing. Punch work ts still used, but In com bination with French knots.. French knots in various sizes will be exten sively used lu decoration. They are usually In floral form In the soft pastel tones, forgetmenots being the most popular. The work is done in white or color. An attractive design Is a French basket filled with floral designs In French knots. Dresser scarfs, etc.. In white linen have designs outlined In small Freueb knots. Dutch designs are effective worked In blue knots, with the edge finished with cluny lace. Insets of hand mado cluny lace have the edges worked In solid knots. Pil low covers, centerpieces and scarfs In natural color linen are often decorated with mnlta braid. Oilcloth Instead of Hoops, A new idea is a centerpiece of white linen and plate doilies mado In one. It is cut round to fit a table and six pieces about eighteen Inches In length extend from the centerpiece, leaving a space sufficiently large for a bread and butter plate doily. The edges are scalloped and the embroidery Is done In eyelet work. Instead of using an embroidery hoop for small stitches and dainty work like letters on handkerchiefs and pillow slips French oilcloth Is often used for a stretcher. Cut a square rather larg er than the figure or Initial to be em broidered and baste it with fine cotton on to the back of the material. The glazed surface prevents the needle from piercing the oilcloth, while Its pliability enables It to be bent easily over the linger when necessary. PLANS FOR ILLINOIS ROADS. Would Allow Various Counties to Do frsy All Expenses. Hard road building came Into the II Hnois senate In a new form when Al bert C. Clark of Chicago put In a bill providing for a county road system- It provides for a referendum plan of appointing three county road comrals--tloners in a county that may decide to take up bard road building. These Itoluts are urged In favor of the plan: First It Is an equitable plan, spread ng the cost of constructing main roads ver all the taxable property In the county. Second. It tends to make continuous main roads, with no breaks at the township lines. This desirable feature Is never attained under the township plan, while town line roads Invariably uffer. Third. Money enongh is secured to improve difficult pieces of road that -on Id never be touched under township supervision. Fourth. Under the county plan there tre always two experienced men on the board. This tends to retain skilled em ployees In their losltions, and it Is true that county r.-ods, as a rule, are dis tinguishable :y their superior work marilll Vatures.

The old time "college logu" worn liy llio Harvard students hsck lu IXM was au amusing sartorial croallou, or may he It 'Wuuld more propotiy be cliiaal fled as the result of the dressmaker's art Of course, no one now living remembers It. but the ancient "logs" la described In tl.o aminla of the col lege, and the present Oxford cap and gown are very simple and sober things In comparison. As doscrllxtl by a writer whose curiosity had leen aroused by stories concerning the gay festive "college toga," even tho togas worn by the old Roman senator were negligible quan tities. In 183(1, when Harvard cele brated her two hundredth anniversary, this fanciful summer garment was much lu vogue, and for at least two seasons It was In high fnshluu with the undergraduates. It was made of gingham and of a color and pattern to suit the taste of the wearer. It was a loose fitting gar ment reaching to the knees, was gath ered at tho neck and also at the waist Milnd. It had a turned over collar, a small rape rounded In front and a bolt of the material of tho dress. The sleeves wore either hooked or buttoned at t tic wrist. It was trimmed with a long tasseled white fringe. The accom paniments of this dress were a low crowned, broad brimmed straw hat, secured by a broad ribbon under the chin; trousers and silk or thread gloves of a color In harmony Willi that of the toga, and usually a henry cane. It Is not known to whom tho distinc tion Ivlong of having first conceived the "college toga." Like Jupiter, It came Into being complete In Its match loss grace and adornments.

A Custom tho Occidtnt Borrowed From the Orient Most bartwirlnns. Judged by modern staudanls, wore anything but cleanly in their pcrsouul habits. In F.ngland. France and .Germany bathing was an almost unknown custom until after the Crusade. The pilgrims from the east brought home with thoiu Ideas of the bath ns help lu the treatment of disease, and bathrooms were gradually lntnMlnc.il Into the hospitals. From the hospitals the Ideas of bathing spread generally. People who had been treated there saw tho valuo of keeping the body clean lu order to re sist disease. The great plague that swept over F.urope in the early yenrs of the fourteenth ceutury helped to teach this lesson. Ity the fifteenth ceutury there was scarcely a largo city that did not pos sess well patronized public bathing es tablishment, although It was not until the seventeenth century that the Turk ish bath was Introduced, and not until ihe eighteenth century that sea bath lug, so common among the American Indians, was tried exerimontnlly. Saturday was chosen aa bathing time and the reason is not difficult to Im agine. On Sunday everybody was com pelled to go to church, whether he would or not As the Moslem In the east bathed tiefnre entering the mosque so did the medieval man before enter. Ing his church, only he must take his bath on Saturday nfternoon in order to lie clean Hie following dny. There was even a distribution of bath money to the children whoso parents were unable to pny for their baths. New York Post TRT COOKING" LETTUCE. Palatsble Wsys of 8erving This Popu lar Vegetable.

TWO NEW ROADS FOR CALIFORNIA Each Extends Entire Length of That State. SMALL TOWNS CONNECTED. Highways Being Constructed at Cost of 118,000,000 How Economy Is Practiced and the Shortest Possible Routes Are Followed. California wuuls and Is going to have two hunk roads, north aud south, and Its well defined plan presents an object lesson lo other stale of great distances and oinplwiKlr.es the fact that the through road Is a modern necessity In a general system. The California law requires roads to W built tho length of the state along the most direct and practicable routes, one along the coast and another trav ersing the Sacramento aud 8ti Jon qulu valleys, with lateral roads to such county souls as may not lie on tho main lines. For constructing these roads $1S,iis),(HKI was voted two yenrs ago. The ailtoiiioblllsls naturally worked for this legislation, aud It Is worth noting (hat California has more motorcars tliun Franco, In excess of 7.VH), In the eastern and central slates not only are i omllilons different, but the topography of the country Is less severe aud lends Itself more readily to the I building of rouds that will best serve the Interest of the i-eopie. The groat bulk of travel on the through roads of the east Is not from one terminal to the other, but letwc.-u the Important cities along the route and tictwecii them and either terminal. Coiisoiileutly It Is more exixtlleiit lo build main rouds so ns to roach all Ilia tuiHrtaut points along or lie.ir the route, oven to the ex tent of sacrificing a part of tho direct ness and adding some mileage. That Ihe comparatively few people ho travel the whole length of road ihoiild go a few uililltloual miles rather :buu compel a largo number of short I lt! unco travelers lo go additional dis tances Is self evident. For every tell .icrsons who travel across a state there ro probably ninety who travel from ine point to another within the state, that us a mutter of convenience tu the great majority a route across s tato should touch all of the Important cities w 1 1 ti I ii reasonable roach. With the uinoiiut of money provided :be utmost economy must lie practiced sin! shortest Kmsi!te routes followed to comply Willi tho law. To build road that will stand Ihe strain of much motor travel the state highway oiumlssloii has adopted concrete for almost tho entire system. In building the road the grade Is prepared and drained so ns to leave the subgrade iry that It will not freeze and benve with frost It Is then thoroui'ily rolled. On this Is placed four Inche i of rich concrete, which Is surfaced with a coat of heavy asphaltlc oil aud sand about three eighths of an Inch thick. This surfac ing, according to tho commission, costs 3 cents per square yard and ran. If necessary, bo renewed every year or two under the head of maintenance. What Pepys Ssw In Church.
