Here Are Useful Bits of In R E A S O N I N G S Economy in small things is often over­ looked, and if only more consideration were given to this subject quite a con­ siderable sum might be saved annually. The careless manner in which a large number of ladies treat their gloves is an instance in point, and perhaps the fol­ lowing hints may serve to show how the reasonable care of kid gloves would result in a ^eduction of expenditure: In the first place, it may be pointed out that rough handling is specially disastrous to kid gloves, and it often happens that a new pair are split and rained by jerking them on in a careless fashion. Always put on a new pair of kid gloves for the first time long enough before they are to be worn to allow of due deliberation in the task. When a pair of fine gloves are bought the pur­ chaser should insist that they be fitted on in the shop; then if there any flaws they will be detected before the gloves are paid for and taken away. Cheap gloves are generally risky in­ vestments, but some of the best shops' keep a fairly good line of gloves at low prices, which are worth buying for com­ mon wear. If strong and well made they will serve for shopping and morn­ ing walks or for bad weather. In putting on a glove ,be careful to get each finger straight. Coax each one by rubbing gently with the thumb and first finger until the fingers are down to the ends. In taking gloves off turn the wrist over the fingers and take hold of the ends of the fingers through the wrist. It wears a glove out badly to pull it off by catching hold of the finger tips. Pull the glove into shape and lay aside carefully. Silk should be kept to match each shade, and gloves should be mend­ ed as soon as a break appears, for the old proverb: "A stitch in time saves nine," is especially appropriate to these articles of attire. Glove mending is delicate work, which requires both skill and dexterity, and when well done pays admirably for the pains taken. Glove powder should form one of the adjuncts to every toilet table, and a pretty glove stretcher another. French women set a good example, and have made quite an art of putting on gloves, and this is why aParisienne's gloves last her four times as long as anybody else's. Buttoning gloves should never -be done in a hurry. The wrist should be carefully and gently pulled straight and the buttons insinuated gently into the holes. Use a glove buttoner., always, it ruins both the buttonholes and the finger tips to button them without. After purchasing a new pair of gloves always sew the buttons on before wear­ ing them. The annoyance of having the buttons drop off will then be avoid­ ed.--Woman's Life. Many thousands have been restored to health and happiness by the use of Cham­ berlain's Cough Remedy.

SCHNEIDER, • McHenry, III. o Bears the Signature of toaza . i The Kind You Have Always Bougtt Confucius, the great teacher of the ancient East, once said: "Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous." It was he also who gave a negative form of the golden rule, as follows: "What you do not like when done to yourself do not do to others " Melanchfchon, the great scholar of Re­ formation, who revised Luther's transla­ tion of the Bible, once said: ' 'It is shame­ ful for a man to rest in ignorance of the structure of his own body, especially when the knowledge of it most conduces to his welfare, and directs the applica­ tion of his own powers." James A. Garfield said: "Poverty is uncomfortable, as I can testify, but nine times out of ten the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be tossed overboard and compelled to sink or swim for himself. In all my acquain­ tance I have uever known a man to be drowned who was worth the1 saving." Many people wonder why waiters and door-men wear full dress suits. The custom originated in colonial days, and, like many of our customs, originated in necessity. In those days the servant was "one of the family," so to speak. The master had to look after him in a way, as well as after one of his own children. In those days the spike-tail coat was worn practically all the time by gentlemen. When the coat became old it was given to the servant, and the master provided himself with a new one. Concerning the education of the heart, Rtiskin'said: "Crime cannot be hin­ dered by punishment;, it will always find some shape and outlet, unpunish­ able or unclosed. Crime can only be truly hindered by letting no man grow up a criminal--by taking away the will to commit sin; not by mere punishment of its commission. Crime, small and great, can only be truly stayed by edu­ cation--not the education of the intel­ lect only, which is, on some men wast­ ed, and for others mischievous, but edu­ cation of the heart, which is alike good and necessary for all." A scientist has discovered that light may be procured from sugar. He has succeeded in taking several photographs by the light supplied by sugar only. The sugar was first exposed to a direct sunlight for two hours, and then placed in a dark room. Immediately on being placed in the darkness the sunlight stored in the sugar began to glow, faintly at first, but quite brightly in a few minutes. After about twenty min­ utes, during which time the photographs were taken, the light began to die away, and gradually went out. The average of human life, "according to Professor Warren, of England, is about 38 years. One quarter die pre­ vious to the age of 7 years, one-half be­ fore reaching 17, and those who pass this age enjoy a felicity refused to one- half the human species. To every 1,000 persons only one reaches 100 years of l i fe ; to every 100 only s ix reach the a g § of 65, and not more than one in 500 lives to 60 years. There are on earth 1,000,- 000,000 inhabitants, and of these 883,- 333,333, or one-third, die every year, 91,824 every day, 3,730 every hour, and 60 every, minute, or one per second. Many people have the idea that the actions of animals are controlled by in­ stinct instead of by reason. This is un­ doubtedly a mistaken idea, as may be seen from the following incident: "A tame ratffen was in the habit of watch­ ing some cribs or birdtraps, and when a bird was taken he endeavored to catch it by turning up the crib; but in so doing the bird always escaped, as he could not let go in time to seize it. After several vain attempts of this kind the raven, seeing another bird caught, instead of going at once to the crib, went to another tame raven and induced it to accompany him, when the one lifted up the crib and the other bore the poor captive off in triumph." Birds are capable of cheating not only each other, but other animals. The fol­ lowing is related of a little golden-crest- ed wren. A gentleman was watching a chaffinch building its beautiful nest and soon found that he was not the only spectator. At a distance was perched a golden-crested wren, which watched the proceedings carefully. As soon as the chaffinch went off to fetch more mater­ ial the golden-crest cunningly stole round in an opposite direction and car­ ried off the newly brought hairs ahd straws for its own nest. This went on for some time, until at last the aggrieved chaffinch found out the robbery and chased the gold-crest so fiercely that it did not attempt to renew the theft. Thd Christian Herald has the follow­ ing to say about the evils of fretting: "There are few things which wear upon the nerves and general physique so much as the habit of fretting. It is a habit destructive of social happiness. Can there be a sight more pitiful than a woman in the meridian of life with a sharp, fretful face, and worried, strained voice, left, as she is certain to be, to a loveless, broken-down old age? If the fretting mother could get a broader out­ look upon life and her relations to her children* and realize the absolute unim­ portance of the things she magnifies into serious faults, she would be startled. What matter if the little son does soil his hands or forget his manners? What eternal wrong is done if the little daugh­ ter does tear her dress or forget her les­ sons? The worst possible result of either cannot compare with the cultiva­ tion of bitter feelings. Can one heal the wounds caused by a sharp tongue so readily as she can take up the stitches in a torn garment?" Animals belonging to different species have been known to communicate ideas to each other. One of the most inter­ esting cases of this is related in the fol­ lowing: A dog and cat were very much attached to each other and both were very great favorites in the household. The dog, however, was not intended to sleep in the house, aM was carefully put out every night; but, strange to say, he was always found in the morning lying before the fire, with the cat by his side. One evening the master of the dog heard a sort of rap at a back door lead­ ing to the kitchen, and saw the saga­ cious cat spring up and strike the latch, while the dog pushed open the door and entered in triumph.
