MIC mm ! , i r 'I Mew Will Marry a Laaah. Gtrls spend considerable time try ing to flnl out how to be popular. It U natural that girl should swlt ap proval aud admiration. Her popular ity means a good time, boxes of rand, theaters, d.uuv. do worn, everything that the heart a of the young delight lu The slrl that la popular Is the girl who laughs. Not the girl that sim pers and puckers or giggles, but the girl that laughs and means It. The Ctrl that laughs can hare candy aud flowers and theaters every day lu the week. Men flock about her. They adore her. She laugh herself straight luto the hearts of beaux and admirers aud straight luto all the good times tlut girl can dream of. She laughs, but she Is careful when ho laughs. She laughs with her beaux, but never at them. She laughs at what they say when they say It, but never afterward. She laughs at their Jokes, but never about them. She never laughs at anyone's blunders or misfortune. She laughs when the beaux give her flowers, she laughs when they give her candy, she laughs wheu they take her to the theater. Why shouldn't he? iler Jangh Is her fortuue. Alove all, the girl who knows how. to laugh knows when to laugh and never laughs when she should be silent. She merely goes through life with ber laugh ready and Into many dark corners does she flash Its cheer. Many a heart she makes glad Just by passing. Many a burden she lightens by the music of her voice. Women forget to worry when they hear the cheerful girl's laugh. Old men are warmed at the sound of It Toung men listen and follow It, pay court to it, marry It. For It Is the laugh that keeps the heart young, the laugh that keeps the fare bright What man wants a wife that can not laugh? And the boy following the laugh Is looking for a wife. lie may not know It. but be Is. And he will fiud her when he finds that cheer ful, wholesome, honest, wholcsouled, healthy langh. Kansas City World. rteaeant Meal Times. Many people most hare been struck by the otter absence of Interesting conversation that Is so marked a fea ture of modern meals. In the olden days all the wit and brightness of the day seemed to be focussed luto the breakfast and dinner hours, and near ly all the celebrated stories of brilliant repartee that have come down to us were delivered during a meal. But nowadays people talk over their wor ries aud. bothers at the table, look out trains and read papers during break fast, and if they have got anything disagreeable to say to another mem ber of the family, very often choose a meal time in which to say It. Somebody once suggested that chil dren should be trained to be bright and cheerful during meals, just as much as they are trained to eat prop erly, for the one habit, like the other, would cling to them when they grow up and make them much sought after companions. Worry Is very bad for the digestion, and so is another fashion of seeing how fast yon can get through your breakfast or lunch; certainly both things react upon one's neighbor's en joyment of the hours that should bring relaxation and good humor. Home Monthly. Skirt of Checked Suiting. Here Is a skirt of checked suiting in green and blue with heavy embrold ered dot The skirt is full, finely plait ed at the waist, with wide box plait In front A wide band of vel vet simulates a tunic, and Is joined by shaped tabs to the front plait; an other fold of the velvet of ejual width borders the skirt Suitable for mo hair. Abont Politeness. The reason that the French people enjoy the well-earned reputation of be ing the politest people In the world Is because la politesse, or good breeding, la an accomplishment they always ac quire at home and in childhood. A Frenchman, his wife, aud a couple of . children will observe all the most ex quisite social amenities in the privacy of their own vine and flg tree, and the family life presents all the social ad vantages they require. A French bo fm ft "'i of even the humblest parentage does nt wait to go out In the world to learn how to offer a woman a chair, give an elderly gvuticman his arm. In vite you to dine, or discover the topics of conversation that engage your In terest He has lived from his baby hood In an atmosphere of family defer euce and cheerfully unselfish consider at Ion. and he Is charmingly polite by precept and example wherever he may find himself. 28CES Bracelets have returned on a wave of popularity. Itroadtall is as popular as anything so expensive can be. Flat, turndown collars finish most of the fur cloaks and coats. There are big fluffy muffs of mara bout to match the pretty boas. Persian trimming is largely used for vests and gown decoration. Even the debutante indulges In satin, so soft and light has that fabric be come. The smartest model of a tailored coat Is a tight fitting affair. 3d to 50 IVIMVG -- . - nojJS 1. Simple frock of white satin, trimmed wttli real lace and festoons of chiffon roses. 2. Debutante costume of white chiffon. 3. White net spangled with gold and having as decoration an applied design in black ostrich tips. Black Jet sboulderstrnps and golden tissue girdle. 4. Dinner gown of green silk, with diamond design In velvet and corded silk. Inches long, perfect In adjustment and finish. Buttons cannot be too big and fancy, evun the fur coats fastening with most ornate jeweled disks. Plain rich velvet ornamented with lace, is the most attractive expression of the winter mode yet heralded. Turbans with entire crowns of slllc LIoHHOiiiH and brims of fur are a beau teous anomaly of this riotous yeur. Such a smart skating rig Is made of white corduroy, trimmed with sable and worn with xable toque aud muff. When a woman must wear a stiff collar one of embroidered linen turned over a smartly tied black bow is the best. . For the blue and green gown there are petticoats of blue mohair with ac-cordlou-plalted flounce in the two shades. Some of the trlcome hats whereof the tops are leaver are simply smooth black velvet on the under side of the rolling brim. The new kid gloves for business wear come lined with bright plaids in silk and wool and afford an excellent substitute for a muff. Beauty's Downfall. A warning note is struck by a lady, who has both medical and literary skill, against the reckless disregard of those laws which make for beauty. We Americans are growing plainer, she avera, simply because we allow even our children to be affected by the stress and strain of modern life. The smartness, the ability to look after themselves and the athleticism of the women and children of the present time spell physical ruin. Beauty Is rarely seen nowadays In its unadorned atyle. Lovely "women are artificial products, and really lovely children are as scarce as auks' eggs. The reason is that our expressions have grown anxious, eager, cold, our limbs and members are strained out of shape by over-exercise and our complexions and hair are starved for Jack of nerve force. The exquisite complexions, lux uriant locks, delicate features and clear, Innocent-looking eyes that one associates with beauty are so seldom seen as to be quite remarkable when they are, and we are threatened with a still further decrease of these ele ments of good looks unless w bring back our gifts to the plain and prliul tlve style of upbringing, which per- haps after all la the best for them The "larger life" certainly has Ita drawbacks. A VU-Hrd Womii, Uarely wears elaborate or startling cvvtunies on tl street. Never leave her houae before put ting on her gloves. Never dress -a too elalMrntety when mvlvlng guest lu her own house. If she wrars a train practices hold Ing up her skirt In front of a glass before going out Never attempts to be the most hand somely gowned at an entertainment, or If she doc, takes care to bo unos tentatious both lu manners and dress. Is always the same in her manner toward other people and never by any means allows herself to show liy glance or speech her dislike of any onj lse. . What IMeaaea a Man. Generally speaking, a man likes to be told he Is handsome, whether he la or not. lie likes to be told be hat small feet. This Is a tip for wlvea. There Is more virtue in a pair of tight shoes in keeping a man at homo In TpiUTUS. the evenings than In all the Ten Com mandment. It pleases a man to Ui asked for advice. You don't need to take It. Most men have advice to give away, and they are always willing to letow It on woman gratis. It plenmu a mnn for a woman to depend on him. This Is the reason why many foolish girls could get two husbands apiece, while strong minded womn remain old maids. At a small dinner or lea the con vernation should be general, it would le bad form to devote on-j's self to the next neighbor exclusively. When a gentleman asks a mutual friend to Introduce him to a lady It l customary to ask her permission .. fore the request Is granted. When visiting you should ask per mission of your hostess to have your friends call. If strangers to her they should Invariably be Introduced. At a dinner It Is not necessary to wait until all have been served, it Is perfectly proper to begin eating as soon as two or three have been served. A bride selects her bridesmaids from among her most Intimate friends, if the bridegroom has a sister she Is usually asked to be maid of honor. When giving a house party the pe riod of the visit should be definitely stated In the invitation, this will pre vent any confusion or misunderstand ing. New Fruit Mixtures. Crapes divested of skins and stories and mixed with pineapple frappe u 0nn of the latest combinations. Only two kinds of fruit are allowable In a salnd, according to certain cooks. 8iieedpr anges and bananas, oranges and np pies and pears, without other accom punlment than a dash of flavoring, are among the favorite blends. 7o KtcrvUa f r r-heap. Sheep will staud considerable steady cold, but shiver under wlud and are particularly susceptible to dampness.

HaUlnaj IMg-a for Market. Those who have experimented have found that there Is much more profit In raising pigs from the surplus milk from the dairy than In selling that milk to factories where different arti cles are manufactured from by-prod ucts. For a number of years past there has been an ever Inrreaslug de mand for pigs of light weight, those weighing from 100 to 115 pounds being preferred, and such 'pigs can be raised on the surplus milk product with a lit tle added grain at very small cost. If one will figure this cost, deduct It from the price received for the pig and put this computation against the re ceipts from the by-product of milk sold to factories they will readily see the profit In the pig. If one is located near large markets there Is much more profit In raising light weight pigs than heavy hogs; the cost of feeding Is not so great, while the price per pound received Is much more. This question Is well worth looking Into particularly If one has a dairy. Iereler for Fields. Some .uiprovement In agricultural machinery la patented every week, and yet no two Inventions are de signed for similar purposes. An Ohio man has invented a new Idea In leve lug machines, an Illustration of which Is shown here. A supporting frame Is suspended upon two runners, these runners being similar to runners In a snow sled, the whole apparatus being constructed of either wood or Iron. A leveler, In the shape of a triangle, has the apex In a line with the rear end of the runners, the open ends be ing fastened to the front of the run ners. A lever, in reach' of the driver on the teat, controls an attachment for raising or lowering the rear end of the leveler to adjust the latter in ita relation to the surface of the ground. A cross bar connects the two runners In front In use the dirt Is leveled to the center of the machine, Insuring an equal distribution over the field being leveled. Jacob W. Laf ferty, near Mechanlcrburg, Is the pat entee. When to Market Iloaa. A well established fact in connec tion with feeding hogs and that ap- LEVELS TUB 0 ROUND. ,.lles with equal force to rattle and slioep Is that a young animal makes better Us of Its food than dors a matur one. In other words, ttit soon er a hog l made ready for market up to sit or right mouths of age tli cheaper the Pork can be produced. This has been demonstrated time aud again, aud still many people will persist In continuing to feed long after tli most profitable feeding period has passed. Oregon Kxperlment Mallou.

Milk Adulteration. While the ordinary methods of milk adulterations are easily detected by expert examiners. It Is reported that a French chemist. Ir. Queatievllle, has made some experiments that point to the probability thst for some time there has been practiced a form of deception In milk adulteration which has escaped the attention of health officers. In a paragraph In the Bir mingham Dally Mall It Is explained that the deficiency of fats, whether due to the poverty of the milk or the extraction of, fats, has been covered by the addition of foreign greasy mat ter. Dr. QucaurvUle found that "ben sine would dissolve foreign fats with out affecting the natural fats In milk." and thus by examlutng samples which have passed the ordinary test he dis covered such substances as pork drip ping and cocoa nut butter. Ice-llouaa and Ialr Cosablned' My lee house la built above ground with a good cement floor, w hich slopes to the center with a fall of 0 Inches. The waste wster Is conducted by a lead pipe, c, to the dairy room, where !n tank, a. are placed the cans of milk. I us deep cans, holding about 4 gallons each.

The lee bouse Is 10x20 feet In sl, with 14 foot studs. It will hold shout HX) tons of Ice, which gives alxnit .10 tons for family use and the balance to supply the dairy through the season. There Is always cool, waste water to keep the temperature lu the tank from 45 to TiO degrees slid It Is never lieces sary to put In Ice. Franklin Itogers, In Farm and Home. I'oallry firkin;. In keeping hens for layers discard all over two years old. Kxcesslve fatness leads to a sus pension of egg production. Breeding stock should be fed so at to keep In robust health. The smaller the air bubble In the large end the fresher the egg. A fat hen Is a poor layer, and her eggs will usually prove Infertile. Kxcesslve fat In the male or femn.e Is antagonistic to procreation and fec undity. A fresh, egg has a somewhat rough shell, while a stale egg Is smooth of shell. Bone Is an absolute necessity In some form to fowls confined In small yards. Bones are valuable for poultry, chiefly for the phosphate of lime they contain. Roosts should always be on the same level, as the birds will crowd to the highest one. Eggs Immersed In water a day or two before the chickens are due will bo greater benefited. There Is no half-way house In keep ing "fancy poultry," and one must have the best or none. To have good layers, breed from good laying stock and cultivate this quality as fully aa possible. in feeding grain to young fowls It Is important to give as good a variety as possible. The shells of egga are porous, and pungent filth may penetrate and spoil the flavor. When fowls have the advantage of good radge there Is little necessity for artificial preparations. There is not much risk In raising poultry; it la not subject to extremes, aud there la little danger of overproduction. JTFFFFFFiW, One) Hundred Yer Ago.
