And yet you intimate that I'd rather read books! : ''Several years ago, before I was so fortunate as to become your husband, I was boarding with a Mr. Ebeneaer, Who Was an entirely admirable man, the bead of a loving and united family.

"Mr. Ebenezer was obdurate. Like me, he had a passion for buggy washing. So he went out and coupled the gar den hose to the hydrant and filled the whole back yard with water and got his feel wet - The next morning he had a bad cold and was feverish, and the bad cold developed Into epizootic, and the epiaootlc Into pneumonia, and the pneumonia into galloping consumption, and the first thing we knew that un fortunate man was Junketing out in the cemetery in the village hearse. It was one of the most tragio episodes I ever knew, my love. On Monday that great and good man was seated at the head of his groaning board, full of life and spirits, the soul of the family gather ing. On Saturday he was infesting a cheap pine coffin with German silver handles on It. The warning sank deer into my heart. Kever shall I forget the misery la that home when the bread winner was gone. "I was looking at our buggy this morning and experienced an irresistible desire to wash It. I had hunted up a bucket and a brush and was about to begin work, when a still small voice within me asked me if I had forgotten the melancholy fate of Mr. Ebenezer. All the details of his harrowing death flashed through my mind and I stood there communing with my soul a long time.

It Is not a difficult task to keep men's clothing1 in good condition It the garments are not too much stained and soiled before attempting to clean them. Many a dollar can be saved that would bs paid for cleaning and pressing if on is willing to take plenty of time and bs patient. -- - Evea the eleaneer n he horns, made. An excellent solution for cleaning wool en goods is made by -dissolving good white soap into a jelly, .Use ont part of soap to four of water. Mix tb Jelly with an equal weight of ammonia, the well beaten white of an egg, and a lit tle liquor of any kind, cay one gill to four ounces of Jelly, Alcohol will an swer if at hand,. It Is used chiefly to make the drying quicker after the gar ment Is sponged. . Mix thoroughly and strain Jntoabottle forsse aa iJreo.ui red. To clean men'r clothing, first look for mud stains. Rub and brush on til all the mud has disappeared, , It will. prob ably leave a faint stain. The garment should be .placed, on a table or board, right side up, and the cleansing mix ture applied wltlr a . rag, rubbing well In. The Vegetable sponge, called the loofah, is excellent' for the purpose, because it Is firmer than the regular sponge, and does not leave lint, as will a rag. Some people use an old nail brush. Of course, the loofah ' must be cut. A Whole one would bs entirely too large. Only the spots and stains need this vigorous treatment When it is thought the cleanser has done Us work, sponge off with clear water. Some authorities advise cold water, but In my opinion tepid Is better for woolen goods. The next stei) is to hang up to dry. Jt will then be seen whether all the soil has disappeared. If not, then the scouring process must be repeated, AVhen ready for pressing proceed as follows: Lay the garment right side upon the board and cover with a clean cloth wrung out of warm water and ammonia in the propor tions . of about one teaspoonful to a pint." In the case of cleaning light clothes substitute oxgall and salt for the ammonia. Press thoroughly with a hot iron until the garment is dry. ' For obvious rea sons it is best to press the coat a little at a Ime. Trousers are not difficult to press, but the wet cloth must cover the entire length. Otherwise there will be mark ings showing where the ironing is stopped, also where it. begins again. After the pressing garments should be placed u$pn hangers and allowed to re main there from 12 to 24 hours, when they will be thoronghly dry and the creasings well marked. Trousers may be washed with perfect sueoess at home. They can be put Into a tub of soapsuds and ammonia and be scrubbed with a nail brush, afterward rinsing in warm water and pressing an directed. - ' This method would not answer for Coats, of course, on account of the padding, canvas, etc. It would be almost Impossible to press a wet coat into shape, so when It gets beyond the cleanser It must, be sent to a profes sional. in the face Of Providence to wash that buggy after such a warning. Had I been an unmarried man I should have laughed the warning to scorn, but a husband and father has responsibilities which cannot be Ignored. Had I the right to take my life In my hand by washing that buggy? Not A thousand times no! Had I the right to get my feet wet and develop half a dosen dis eases and leave my wife a widow? My duty was plain before me. I dropped the bucket and brush and hastened to the house, thankful that I had the self control to resist such a temptation." "Of all the frauds that ever talked a woman to death you are the worst," remarked Mrs. Turnover coldly. Over 155,000 women hold government positions in France. Mrs. Jennie Schwoyer, of Allentown, Pa., has had 10 husbands. All dead. When beating eggs use pinch of salt and they will be much lighter for cake. rw'iiiMiiM'W' rmr Mall " t Orders Solicited.

Three Cardinal The three cardinal signs of great Im portance In health and disease are the pulse, temperature and respiration. The rate of the pulse corresponds with the rate of the heartbeat. Every time the heart contracts it sends a quantity of blood Into the arteries, caus. lng them to distend. The arteries lie nearer the surface at some placea than at others, so in counting the pulse we choose a place where the artery lies near the surface. The most common place is on the inner side of the wrist, on the thumb side. At this point the radial artery lies close under the skin.. The first two fingers are pressed lightly on the artery and the number of pulsations a minute are counted. The thumb never should be used in counting the pulse not only because it Is awkward, but because the pulsations of the ar tery in the thumb frequently are so perceptible as to cause confusion. The pulse rate is much higher in children than In adults. In an Infant at birth the rate is 130 to 160 a min ute. It gradually decreases as the child grows older until in adult life It is about 1 2, although some people nor mally have a much slower pulse rate. while others have a faster one. The pulse rate usually Increases with exer cise or during excitement It gener ally Is faster when standing than when sitting, and when sitting than when lying. It usually is faster in women than In men. In fever cases the pulse rate ordinarily Increases .as the tem perature rises. If the pulse increases Effect of Example in Bj Graham Hood. Am I my brother's keeper? Most as suredly! I may not feel that I have this responsibility: I may not see in what respect I have anything to do with shaping the life of my brother or my neighbor, but the fact that I do not recognize my responsibility in this mat ter does not mean that the duty does not exist. There are few of us who realize how. Important a part we play In the lives of those-wha-ioiae in jCon.tactith..us4..Wfi feel that it is we alone who are affected by the words we speak and the deeds we perform. We little know what kind of an impression those words and acts may make upon those who become ac quainted with them. There are few persons who occupy so humble a position in society as to be without influence upon at least one or two other people. No matter how Inconsequential a man may deem his poeitlon to ho, somebody looks up to him, and, to some degree at least, moulds his life and character ypoa.th!s self-selected model. We ma not hun pect who thene admirers arc. We may not even know that any human" being has so honored us as to' dream of imi tating us in the smallest degree;. It Is quite possible, in some cases, that the imitators themselves may not actu ally be aware of the fact that they are deliberately walking in our footsteps, yet, whether we aro acquainted with the truth or not, we emulate and ar emulated, instinctively if not purposely. Case Is Cited. A case of this kind was' brought to my attention not lohg ago, when a man who was amply able to give Ms son a good education deliberately set him to work that he might the quicker become a wage earner. Aa there was no ade quate reason why this Khould be done, it excited considerable comment in the town where.thla family resides no all favorable tcT the somewhat close-fisted father If alt the talk had been of an ad verse character the harmful effects of thlsaet- HUUt-hav . heea.i'OiJined -to the two persons moat directly concerned the father and the son. As it hap pened, however, this man standing in the community was sufficiently prom inent to give him a certain amount of influence in several directions, and on Of these lines led directly to the home of another man with a son who was anxious te seeave as thorough en-education as possible. . Indeed, it had been planotd that the Signs of Health as the temperature falls, the outlook is grave. The condition has been called the "death crtms." The pulse varies Jit fullness and reg ularity as well as In frequency. It is said to be full when the artery Is dis tended by a large volume of blood. It is regular when the beats occur at reg ular Intervals and are of the same full nes. An Intermittent pulse is one that skips one out of every four beats, as every fourth beat. Often this in dicates a nervous condition rather than any change in the structure of the heart. It may follow the Immoderate use of alcohol, tea, coffee, or other stimulant A pulse is said to be dl acrotio when there seems to be two beats, one strong and one weaker, to each beat of the heart. In reality there only is one beat the second one being recoil wave. Only the first one should be counted. This condition is common in some diseases, such as typhoid fever. If the normal pulse rate is above 85 or below (0 it is a wise precaution to have a thorough physical examina tion, for the change In the pulse rate is one of nature's warning signs of a disordered condition. Accompanying a slow pules rate we not unfroquently hear complaints of cold feet and hands, with perhaps a tendency to numbness of the parts which "go to sleep" easily. Many diseases as tuberoulosls and exo phthalmic goitre are accompanied by an Increased pulse rate while yet In an early stage. Making Character latter boy should have his chano to go to school long nough to enable him to ascertain what kind of a place he desired to make for himself. But when It was learned that the more wealthy farmer had decided to put his boy to work, the man of humble means promptly announced that further sac rifices on his part were unnecessary. "What's good enough for George Brown is good enough for my boy," h asserted, and. that was the end of all the lad's air castles, for the present at least " Actions Are Obiirrsd. -- Today both of the boys are at work. The boy who was so eager to make something out of his life will have to be content with meagre oppor tunities or else get his education for himself during his moments of leisure. It Is possible that lie might not have made good, but what chance he expected to have was taken from him, sim ply because of the bad example set his father by a tnan who, possibly, did not know of his existence.
