That is why so many women are exhausted over housecleaning, because they don't know how to do the work, and scatter their forces by not being thorough. ARE RICHES A BLESSING? By E. S. Martin. Imperfectly as wealth still performs its proper functions, is it not better geared to them than it has been jn times past? Of course a lot of it is wastefully used; but not, even now, so great a proportion of the total wealth as appears, because the wasteful use of it is apt to be far more conspicuous than the fruitful use. Besides the very large share of the total wealth that goes to maintain life in no more than reasonable comfort, and to enlarge the opportunities and better the lives of those who have it, there is a constant expenditure of slices and shares of the incomes of the greater fortunes in works of studied and tested benevolence, and. al>ove all, in promoting ed ucation and the discovery of truth. So common is this use of superfluous money by individuals as fairly to give ground for the suspicion that the limitations of the profitable use of monyy for personal advantage are be ing better appreciated. Those of us that have learned a little, really want, not money, but life—the "more abundant life” that is worth having. We want niQiiey tn so far as it promises increased life; but, looking about at the various people who have money abundant ly and superabundantly, it is easy to see that, beyond a certain point which many attain, the mere command of money does not give the coveted increase of life. Ex cessive fortunes seem as apt to blight life as to expand it; and when they do blight it—breeding selfishness and laziness, narrowing association, relaxing fidelity, and paralyzing effort—they bring, not envy, but contempt on their possessors. There seems to be nothing profitable to do with the more enormous fortunes, the rolling up of which has made so many observers anxious, but by hook or crook to devote the bulk of them to securing the welfare of the people from whom they were derived.

Immediately after a rain Is the accepted time to attempt their destruction, for it is then that the ants are very active, bringing out into the sun to be dried any of their stored-up food supply which may have become damp.

One of the show pla< es of Far Rock away 1« the handsome residence of James Caffrey, the Brooklyn Eagle says. Vfdltors during the summer months rarely fall to stroll up Green wood avenue from the beach so as to get a glimpse of this fine piece of colonial architecture, with its massive stone columns towering thirty or mor« feet In the air. But while the villa Is interesting, there Is still a more Intereating ob ject on the grounds that draws forth exclamations of pleasure and admira tion. It is the play-house of the Caf frey children This play-house occu pies a prominent site on the great lawn to the west of the Caffrey resi dence. It is an exact reproduction of an Irish crofter's cabin, and Is be lieved to be the only one of Its kind In this country. The play-house is about 15 by 12 feet In size and one story high. The walls are of hewn stone and white washed on the exterior. It haa a thatched roof, straw tightly bound to gether to a thickness of about one foot. There are three windows In the front and three in the back walls. Near the center of the front wall 1s the entrance. Visitors notice a sign, painted In real Celtic characters. "Don Na Stoegas," which In English means. ‘‘Fort of the Fairies." There Is just the faintest idea of a porch over the entrance, the roof being supported by two heavy trunks of trees. The door to this "Fort of the Fairies" is made of white birch limits, set together lat tice fashion, and swung on heavy crude Iron hinges. An old chain and latch fastens the door when the chil dren are not in the house. While the exterior of the cabin is Interesting, the interior Is equally so. Inside the walls are covered with twlga and straw Intertwined and cemented over, while the children's playthings, tables, chairs, rockers, dressers, stde- Itoard, etc., together with toys and dolls galore are found there. It Is an ideal place for the children to preside over and play in. Tbr Sentimental Sen e.
