A
Trnth* Told in a Few Words.
A child's respeec for its parent is not
secured by over-leniency any more than
by over-severity.
A daughter should never seek nor be
allowed to “outdress” her mother. In
every family the mother should be the
best-dressed member.
The discarded flnery of a daughter
should never constitute a mother’s
wardrobe. No one feels especially dig
nified in tlie presence of one whose old
clothes she is wearing, and a mother
should at all times preserve her dignity
before her children. The mother wlio
never loses her queenliness will never
lose her crown.
Preventable
misfortunes
consist,
chiefly, of manifold things, little to do.
but immense things to have done.
The man who earns one dollar and
spends two, and the man who earns
two and spends one. stands on either
side of the hair-line between heedless
ness and discretion, between ruin and
safety.
Parents generally receive that meas
ure of filial respect they deserve—not
always, perhaps, but very generally.
When a mother allows her daughter
to appropriate her wraps, gloves, veils,
or other articles of personal attire, she
begins a policy of familiarity which,
sooner or later breeds contempt. A re
spect for one’s belongings engenders a
resiiect for their possessor.—Ladles’
Home Journal.
Passengers are to have an opportunity
to board and leave trains which are in
motion at tlie Paris exposition of 1900
bv means of a new system devised by
a French civil engineer
The idea was
suggested by the moving sidewalk at
the world’s fair. The outer circumfer
ence of a circular platform is to travel
at the same rate as the passing train.
There will be no danger upon entering
the platform from a staircase in the
center, where the speeri is compara
tively low. In advanc ng toward the
edge the increase is gradual, and antici
pated. The station attendant over
looks the entire platform from a tower
in the center, ami should there be a
heavy crowd he causes the train, by
means of switches, to run around the
station, allowing ample time to dis
charge and take on all passengers. It
is proposed to work trains and plat
forms at a speed of 71a miles an hour.
For Weighing Hay.
To weigh bay on barn scales, place
scales, a. on the scaffold, b. over the
barn floor. Across them lay a plank, c,
several inches longer than the width of
the scales, to which suspend a rope or
chain like a swing, d. under the scales.
Spread the ropes under them so they
will not touch their frame. In this
swing hang an iron bent like tlie letter
S, e. To a joist, f. on one side of the
scale« fasten one end of a rope, passing
the other end down under the scales
and up to a windlass, g. on the other

"Patsey” is a dog of high degree and
some tendency to tight when away
from his doting mistress. The two are
great friends, and make an Interesting
due in real life. A well-known writer,
while visiting in the Rives home In
Virginia, speaks of the fondness for
horses always exh'bited by Miss Rives.
She could draw in an exceedingly clev
er way this animal, but was entirely
unable to sketch any other—and most
of her friends own a design or two of
the horses she likes best.
No Superstition.
"I cannot give you anything!" snap
ped the lady to the tramp. "You're
the thirteenth tramp that lias called
here to-day.”
“Well, mum.” said the tramp, after
a little consideration, “you look a

in any nonsense: and jist to show that
there ain’t any truth in that silly eu-
persitition alxmt thirteen lxdn’ an un

Any good wholesome diet will build
up the nerves. The fowl that nour
ishes the end of the little finger nour
ishes also the brain and the entire
body. Each part Is but a portion of a
perfect wjiole, and we cannot select
food to build especially one imrt of tlie
human structure. Fatty foods are sup
posed to be beneficial to the nerves, as
they cushion them and counteract the
irritating conditions. Starchy fowls,
fatty meats and over-eating tend to the
accumulation of fat.—Indies' Home

Say* They Can’t Dance.
And now it is stated by the all-wise
medical man so often quoted that per

to perform the graceful movements re
quired by walteing. The muscles that

A tendency to rheumatism is undoubtedly

of checking this tendency, or of removing in
cipient rheumatism, whether pre-existent in
the blood or not, is Vo resort to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as soon as the premonitory
twinges are felt. Nullifying the influences of
cold, exposure and fatigue, tne Bitters not only
fortifies the system against their hurtful con

a hay fork pulley. To pile the hay on,
make a frame, h, six feet square, light
and strong enough to support 700
pounds of hay. On two sides of this
frame are ropes each 14 feet long with

bored in the corners of the frame and

bring the ropes together over it and at

Accustom the baby to a moderate

A beautiful wedding costume for a
bride, veil and all, is described in the
Ladies' Home Journal by Isabel A.
Mallon: “The gown is of white satin—
that beautiful cream white tlint you
admire so much—and it is made with
a full but plain skirt. The tulle veil,
not worn over the face, is fastened to
the high coiffure (the hair must always
be arranged high when a veil is worn)
under a cluster of orange blossoms.
The long, pointed sleeves, prettily full
at the shoulders, are finished with frills
of real jxiint la<-e. and a frill in har
mony flares out at the back of the
crush collar. The crush lx-lt is laid in
soft folds, and does not show its fasten
ing. which is at the side. You will be
wise in having no orange blossoms on
your gown. They would have to be
removed immediately after
