Girls Who Use Slang.
If the common usage of slang were
confined to a particular order of girls
[it would, perhaps, serve as an indicator
,/ .» . i of character and pass unnoticed. It
would, at least, not touch the sensib-
ilities of gentlefolk. But it is not so
confined. Slang is invading the very
nicest of circles; it, is beginning to in-
fluence the talk of our most carefully
reared girls. And athis is why the
habit should receive closer attention.
Girls are forgettingthat slang phrases
and refinement are absolutely foreign
to each other. A slang phrase may be
more expressive than a term of polite
usage, but it is never impressive, ex-
cept to impress unfavorably. It is high
time that our girls should realize that
they should speak the English'langu—
age in their conversation, and not the
dialect of the race track, .nor the lingo
of the baseball field. A girl may cause
a smile by the apt use of some slang
phrase. But, inwardly, those who ap-
plaud her place her at the same time
in their estimation.
No girl ever won an ounce of respect
by being slangy. on" the contrary,
many a girl, unconscious of the cause,
has found herself gradually slipping
out of people’s respect by the fact that
her talk was dotted with slang phrases.
“Oh, she is clever,” said a woman not,
long ago of a. girl who could keep a
company constantly amused by her apt
use of slang. “She amuses me greatly,
but I should not care to invite her to
my home nor have my-girls know her.”
It is a poor popularity for a girl which
has as its only basis the cap and bells
of the jester. The life of" the jester is
never long.—Ladies’ Home Journal.
Hints for Thin Women.
It takes time to get fat just as it
takes time to grow thin. The candi-
date for added flesh should get all the
sleep possible—from nine to ten hours.
In addition, a nap in the middle of
the day will help. While napping, no
stays, tight shoes or bands must be
worn. If one cannot sleep one should
lie down in a darkened room at least
thirty minutes instead. In the morn-
ing a cold plunge, or, at least, a. cold
sponge; must be taken, dashing the
water on the shoulders, neck and col-
lar bone, drying with a Turkish towel
and avoiding heavy clothing. A thin
woman should avoid cumbersome
wraps, heavy-weight dress goods and
linings. She should not tire herself
bicycling and she should have plenty of
fresh air. Diet deserves a considera-
tion. For some drinking malt liquors
is a great help, but many cannot stand
it. A diet with an eye to acquiring
flesh should consist of liquids—milk,
water, but not coffee and tea; no hot
breads, plenty of butter and cheese and
good cocoa. The very thin woman
should have five meals a. day, should
eat marmalade and plenty of warm
Indeed, ‘if warm
milk is drunk before retiring! it is in
itself almost a sure cure. Above all,
eat slowly and never exercise until half
an hour after meals—Boston Tran-
script.

_ The Teacher’s Helper.
As music teacher’s assistant a new
occupation is open to women. She is
a young woman who superintends the
daily piano practice of the children of
a family. Where expensive music
masters are employed their work is
frequently much retarded by the care-
less practicing of their pupils. To be
on hand every, day during the time
spent at the piano by the young people
of the family is the duty of the aSsist-
ant; and her careful supervision of
practice hours undoubtedly contributes
to the successful teaching of the mas-
ter.
Mint in Potatoes.
Féw housekeepers know that new po~
taste if a sprig of mint is added to the
tatoes will lose much of their insipid
water in which they are boiled. So
common is this custom in England that
the thrifty heuseWife, in purchasing
her new potatoes, frequently reminds
her salesman to send home a bunch
of mint with them. Not enoughof the
herb should be’rused to make the taste
discernible, but just enough to give to
the potato a flavor that it lacks. The
unitiated enter thereof will perceive
that the vegetable is better than usu-
al, although he may not guess wh’y.‘

A Good Story of Henry Ward Beecher’s
School Days.
Henry Ward Beecher used to tell
,thi story of the way in which his
teacher of mathematics taught him to
depend upon himself.
“I was sent to the blackboard. and
went. uncertain. full of whimpering.
“ ‘Tliat lesson must be learned,’ said
my teacher. in a very quiet tone, but
with a terrible intensity. All expla-
nations and excuses he trod under foot
with utter scornfulncss. ‘I want that
problem; I don‘t want any reasons
why you haven’t it,’ he would say.
“ ‘ I did study two hours.’
“ ‘That’s nothing to me; I want the
lesson. You need not study it at all,
or you may study it ten hours, just to
suit yourself. I wantthe lesson.’
It was tough for a green boy; but it
seasoned me. In less than a month I
had the most intense sense of intel-
lectual independence and courage to
defend my recitations.
“One day his cold, calm voice fell
updn me in the midst of a demonstra-
tion. ‘No!’
“I hesitated and then went back to
the beginning. and on reaching the
same point again ‘No!’ uttered in a
tone of conviction, barred my prog-
ress.
“ ‘The next!’ and I sat down in red
cOnt‘usion.
“He. too, was stoppedwitb ‘Nol’ but
went right on, finished, and, as he sat
down, was rewarded with ‘Very well!’
" ‘Wliy,’ whimpered I, ‘I recited it‘
just as he did..and you said ‘Nol’
" 'Why didn‘t you say ‘Yes,’ and
stick to it? It is not enough to know
your lesson: you must know that you
know it. You have learned nothing till
3011 are sure. If all the world says
‘No!’ yoiu business is to say ‘Yes,’ and
prove it. ’ ”—Good Stories.

Bulging Land in Autumn.
To prevent the leaching away, by
melting snows and early spring rains,
of the soluble food elements of the sur-
face soil of manure spread up it, is
most important. The finely decom—
Imsed tilth that is developed upon the
surface by, the proper cultivation cf
corn and other cultivated crops con-
tains much soluble matter. The pro-
portion of this which is retained near
the surface will determine very largely
the strength and vigor with which the
young plants of the next year’s crops
will begin their elaboration of the
inert mirerials into higher forms and
the beginning thus made will control
, very Iargely’the final product.
The method that is coming into
vogue with farmers in Canada is to
draw their manure onto these lands,
then with a double mold board plow,
they throw up the fine tilth of the sur-
face and the manure into ridges about
21 inches apart. The manure is left
largely in the center of the ridge,
where it cannot get away. The water
from rains and melting snows, when
sufficient to run off the land, will pass
these ridges. The
washing will be less because the water
will not be allOwed to collect in so
large rills. And what there is will
be of less consequence because from the
lower and less soluble soil. The loss
by waters percolating downward
through the soil will also be lessened
becauSe the greater part of such waters
will not have passed through these
ridges of manure and rich vegetable
mold. In-the spring when ready to
seed, a smoothing harrow run cross-
wise of these ridges renders them al-
most level and. leaves the ground as
mellow as an ash heap.
Another gieat benefit to be delived
f1 cm the practice of ridging is that the
.land can be worked a week to 10 days
earlier than 'with the groundnin the
ordinary condition. This also means
earlier work of the nitrate and other
germs which develop fertility in the
soil. Further, ground that is ridged
north and south can be worked earlier.

Money iii-Guaranteed Eggs.
There is no way in which so much
can be' acomplished with so little out-
lay of money and effort as in the pro-
duction and sale of guaranteed eggs.
The equipment consists principally of
an inflexible determination never to
sell any but absolutely fresh eggs, those
which you know all about. If there
is the slightest doubt as to the age
of an egg, don’t sell it. It pays to
wash every egg At first you may not
find any difference in the demand for
your eggs, but if you persist in always
selling only absolutely fresh, honest,
clean eggs, you will, before long, find
customers at the store asking for your
eggs, and that they sell before any
others. If you want the full benefit
of this reputation, get an egg stamp
and put your name, or better still, the-
name of your farm, on each egg. This
will bring many good retail customeis.
Remember all the time that success
depends. upon the absolute perfection
of your eggs. A single bad or even a
stale one, will ruin your reputation,
so never under any circumstances sell
an egg that you do not know is fresh.
Take no chances. Get china. nest eggs
and use them. If you find a stolen
nest use the eggs yourself or give
them away. Do not expect to accom-
plish everything at once. Be patient.
Your customers must be educated, but
it will not be long before there will be
a demand for more eggs than you can
supply. It‘will pay to use pasteboard
boxes, holding one dozen eggs and .with
the name of the farm and postoffice
address on-the boxes—“Chap” in Agri-

“'lien Nitrate of Soda Is Valuable.
Nitrate of soda is a spring tonic, and
it has nutritive qualities also. It is
essentially a foliage and plant pro—
ducer and should be used in the early
partof the season. I would not use
it to finish off a crop, as I do corn to
finish off pork. For the development
of fruit or seed or mature wood. pot.-
ash and phosphoric acid are also re—
quiz-ed.
Bui. to stimulate a dark green, 117::—
uriam growth in the spring, nothing
equals nitrate of soda. A few reasons
back, in'Ap‘z-il, I sowed 150 pounds of
nitrate of soda per‘acre upon sereral
acres of grass. It is rather difficult
to spread evenly by band unless the
quantity is extended by the addition
of earth or thelike. I was not very
careful to join well and could plainly
see until haying time, by the special
luxuriance of the grass, the strips 1

AN INCIDENT-OF INDIAN STOICISM.
An Oldig‘quaw Having Outlived Her Use- I
{unless Prepares Her Own Death.”
A striking illustration of India: s s;
icism was enacted recently in the w
cinity of the Wichita Mountains, in the
Indian Territory. Manna-Sook-A-Wan,
a Commanche squaw who had been
known as the oldest woman in the
tribe, decided to put an end to her ex-“
istence because of her inability to longl,
er assist in any of the doings of the
other Indians. She had attained the
age of over one hundred years, as near
as could be told by Indian calcula-
tions. V
She made preparations first by send-r
log out to all her relatives to assemble,
at her tepee at midday. All her imme-
diate family have long been scattered
or dead, and she had lived entirely
alone f01 years.
Aftei all had assembled she arose
and addressed herself to them, telling
them that she was no longer useful,
that she could no longer do anything
but await death, and that she had
decided to die of her own accord.
The assembled Indians did not utter
a sound, but stood as though they
were glad to be rid of the old woman,
who had been old ever since they had
known her.
She first kindled a fire in the center
of the tepee which had been her home
for so long. ‘
She then arose and took all of her
dresses, of which she had several, and
put them all on; one over the other.
She then put on her regular buckskin
dress, embroidered with beads, in In-
dian fashion, and about her waist
wrapped a large amount ofcotton cloth.

tion. The fi're’s voluntary victim was
then quickly burned to a crisp, the
body at last separating into two smoul-
dering bits of sizzling flesh and bone.
The tepee and everything in it was
also consumed.
All thewhile the other Indians stood
about and did not change their expres-
sion during the whole grewsome sper-
tacle. It was also witnessed by two
white men, who live in that part of
the country, and it was through them
that the particulars were learned by a

An Eel Skin Factory.
One of the strangest factories that
ever existed, and what is more, pays
handsomely for its existence, is situa-
ted in a quiet street in the neighbor-
hood of London bridge. Here are pre-
pared and manufactured various arti-
cles from the skin of the commonplace
eel. .
'The skins are manipulated by nu-
merous complicated processes until
they resemble and would easily be ta-
ken for leather, although of a more
gelatinous and pliable nature. This
'strange commodity is cut into long.
thin strips and plaited very closely to-
gether for whip lashes and to cover
portions of the handles of more expen-
sive whips. Certain kinds of lashes
and harness laces are also made of eel

way into the hands of the sisters. Ev-

ROMANCE OF RUSKlN AND MlLLlAS.'
A Husband Renounces His Rights That
His Wife May Find Happiness.
A romance of real life is recalled to
the public mind by the announcement
of the death in London of Lady Millais,
widow of Sir John Millais, painter and
former president of the Royal Acad‘
emy. Lady Millais sufiered from cancer
of "the throat, the same "death of her
husband, and from whom she is said
to have contracted the, malady. Sir
John E. Millius married his wife in.
1855. She was divorced from John RuS~
kin the year before, and her former
husband stood by in the. church while
she became the spouse of the cele-
brated painter. Euphemia Chalmers
Gray, as she was known in her youth,
was still in her teens when she met
the author of “The Stones of Venice."
Their love seemed to be reciprocal,
but it did not prove to be enduring.
Ruskin met Millais soon after the lat-
ter exhibited his “Pizarro Seizing the‘
Incas” at the academy in 1848. They
were drawn together by common sym-
pathies, and Millais was invited to
Brantwood to paint the portrait of
Mrs. Ruskin. The famous picture (if
“The Huguenot Lovers,” executed by,
Millais in 1853, was the result of this
visit. Millais at the time was a man
of superb physique, broad shouldered,
deep chested and of great strength. He
fell in love with Mrs. Ruskin and she
did with him. Ruskin was fully aware
of the passing of his wife’s affections.
:He did not blame her, but he secured a
divorce. It is said that most of, his
sorrow, in later life was the result of
this disappointment. Seven years ago
he became violently insane, and from.
timeto time was confined in a mad~
house. It is said that the death of Mil—
lais in. 1896 had much to do with re-
storing his reason. At any rate, he has
lived at Brantwood since June of that
year surrounded by his books and "an
treasures and the friends he loves so
well—Troy Times.
THE BULL DOG A 6000 Doc.
A Most Intelligent Canine and Very
. Afl‘ectionate. _ ,
_ No member of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
"the bulldog. Writers who have no 'in-
timate knowledge of the dog and his
attributes have described him as stu-
,pidly ferocious. and illustrators have
pictured him as a sort of semi-wild
beast, till the general public has cOme
to look upon him as dangerous.
“Give a dog a bad name,” is anold
saw, and perhaps a true one, but. when
it is applied to the bulldog it is man-
ifestly unjust. Writers, too, have fall-
en into grave error in claiming that the
bulldog is deficient not only in affec-
tion but in intelligence. ,
Stonehenge, who is considered one
of the greatest of canine scientists,
claims that the bulldog’s brain is rela-
tively larger than that of the spaniel,
which dog is generally considered to be
the most intelligent of the canine race,
while the bulldog’s affection is never
to be doubled—Outing.
