How to Tell Her Age. I
Girls of a marriageable age n * n fe ^ ie l' ouse consists it
nni liWp In tell hnw Q id! paying the bills, don’t under
take it.
do not like to tell how
they are, but you can find out
by' following the subjoined in
structions, the young lady do
ing! e figuring:
Te.l her to put down the
number of the month in which
she was born, then to multi
ply it by' 2, then to add 5,
then to multiply it by 50, then
to add her age, then to sub
tract 365, then to add 115,
then tell her to tell you the
amount she has left. The
two figures to the right will
tell you her age and the re
mainder the month of her
birth. For example, if the
amount is 822, she is twenty-
two years old and was born in
the eighth month ( August).
Try it.
The need of some place to
drop down for a moment and
forget things is a crying one
in most homes. There ought
to be enough sofas around to
accommodate all the family.
Five minutes rest will prevent
many a family row, and how
If you have an idea that
you are too good for a picked
up dinner, remain a bachelor.
If you have found it a hard
task to be happy yourself,
don’t try to make any one else
happy.
If you have chosen a pretty
woman without regard to her
other qualities, halt; you are
on the wrong road.
If you think a house should
have only one head, and that
be yours, postpone your wed
ding indefinitely.
If you are of the opinion
that marriage makes the man
and wife one, and that you
are that pne, send in your re
grets at once.
If you are one of the men
who think that ten per cent
of their income belongs to the
tap-room, let marriage alone.
The Evil of Fretting.
There is one sin which
seems to us is everywhere and
by' everybody underestimated
can you get rest if you have t» *and quite too much overlook-
pull shams off the bed and
roll up the overlid? A shab
by old lounge where you can
get at it is worth its weight in
gold; and you won’t want to
die half so many times if you
make use of it. The loosen
ing of the tension for ever so
few minutes may save your
reason some day. Don’t go
out and try to walk off your
worries; don’t tell them to
your friend, either. Just throw
yourself down on the sofa for
a while; shut your eyes and
pretend you have no care.
The worries will be lighter
before you realize it, your brain
will be clearer and your heart
stronger to meet those that
press closest.
If brothers or sisters 'err,
the world says “shun them;
thus you will show that you
disapprove of the act, making
an example of them.” Alas !
how many examples we have
of this mode of teaching crowd
ing the haunts of infamy to
day! Once bright young lives,
over whose pure lips and in
nocent brows mothers watch
ed in all tenderness; but the
trembling feet took one false
step, and so we thrust them
out of our hearts, out of our
churches, and would even
thrust them out of heaven.
Is it. right, is it just, is it Christ-
like?
Advice to An Engaged Man.
If you think that a woman
is any weaker minded than a
man, stop where you are.
If you intend to treat your
self any better than your wife,
don’t take one.
ed in valuation of character,
It is the sin of fretting, so
common that unless it rises
above the usual monotone we
do not observe it. Watch any
ordinary coming together of
people and see how many min
utes it will be before some
body frets—that is, makes
or less complaining statement
of something or other, which
most probably every one iu
the room, or in the car, or on
the street corner, it may be,
knew before, and which prob
ably no one can help. Why
say anything about it? It
cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is
dry; somebody has broken an
appointment; ill cooked a meal;
stupidity or bad faith some
where has resulted in dis
comfort.
There are are plenty of
things to fret about. It is
simply astonishing how much
annoyance may be found in
the course of every day’s liv
ing, even at the simplest, it
one only keeps a sharp eye out
on that side of things. Even
holy writ says we are prone
to trouble as sparks to fly up
ward. But even to the sparks
flying upward in the blackest
of smoke there is a blue sky
above, and the less time they
waste on the road the sooner
they will reach it. Fretting
is all time wasted on the road.
Most men would prefer do
mestic happiness to great
riches.
A girl that is not neatly
dressed is called a sloven, and
no one likes to look at her.
Her face may be pretty, and
her eyes bright, but if there is
a spot of dirt on her cheek,
and her fingers’ ends are
black with ink, and her shoes
are not laced or buttoned up,
or her apron is dirty, and her
collar not buttoned, and her
skirt is torn, she cannot be
liked. Learn to be neat and
when you havtjlearned it, it
will almost take care of itself.
It is only too true that to
refrain from showing affec
tion makes the wife miserable.
She does not care for presents
or lavish attention; she wants
those little tokens such as
may be given even in a look,
which will prove her hus
band’s love. We wish some
of the good things that some
men are saving up to say con
cerning their wives after they
are dead could be said now.
A man will spend $25 to buy
cut flowers for his dead wife’s
coffin, when if he had spent
25 cents for a bunch of flow
ers for her when she was
alive, she would have fainted.
You wait until she is dead and
then get some preacher to tell
how good she was.
For a good, every-day house
hold angel give us the woman
who laughs. Her biscuit may
not always be just right, and
she may occasionally burn
her bread and forget to re
place dislpcated buttons, but
for solid comfort all day and
every day she is a very para
gon. Home is not a. battle
field, nor life one long un
ending row. The trick of al
ways seeing the bright side,
or if the matter has no bright
side, of shining up the dark
one, is a very important facul
ty; one of the things no
man should be without. We
are not all born with the sun
shine in our hearts, as the
Irish prettily phrase it, but
we can cultivate, a cheerful
sense of humor, dif we only
try.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with local applications, ns tluiy can
not reach the scat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must,
take internal remedies. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on tlie blood and mu-
cuous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is not a quack medicine. It was pre
scribed by one of tlie best physicians
in tills country for years and is a reg
ular prescription, It is oompossed
of the best tonics known, combined
with tile best, blood purifiers, act ing
directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two
ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh,

Is Your Home Cozy.
There are many so-called
homes that do not deserve the
name at all.
Home means comfort, but
when we have it fixed up So
elaborately that we must sit in
the garret or the back yard to
genuinely enjoy ourselves then
it is high time we made a
change and turned out the
too-good-to-use articles and
substitute for them the real
homely things that we could
enjoy every day of the year
and every moment of the day.
Men like pretty home-mak
ers, no mistake there. They
can appreciate beauty as well
as the next one, but they want
that beauty to be of an order
that appeals to their sense of
home comfort. Of what good
are cushions so elaborately
embroidered that no head can
fever repose on them? What
sense is there in easy chairs
of such rich material that they
are quite the reverse of the
flame given them?
The Water Cure.
Water! water, just as it is,
if pure, is the most efficacious
and cheapest of beautifiers.
Generally speaking, we drink
about one-fourth as much as
we should through the day.
Physicians advise water re-
w0 * peatedly, but we do not get
the habit. We are perhaps
busy, and may allow a day to
go by without one glass of
water between meals; then we
drink freely while we eat,
which is w^rse thanjnot drink
ing water at all, as it retards
digestion, especially when the
water is icy cold. One should
drink water four times a day
regularly, half an hour after
breakfast, after luncheon, af
ter dinner and half an hour
before retiring, the tempera
ture to suit individual taste
(except Very cold). The quan
tity should never be less than
four to six large glasses or
three pints in twenty-four
hours; the water should not
be ice cold, nor of a nauseating
lukewarmth. Many benefit
by a cup of hot water before
breakfast in the morning, and
it troubled with a form of in
digestion called “gas” half a
teaspoonful of powdered char
coal should be added. It af
fords speedy relief; then omit
any liquid at meals. Avoid
fatty, rich foods; masticate
thoroughly and slowly. It is
surprising how soon one be
comes used to not drinking
while eating, and also how
soon the good results will be
manifest.
Many feel better when they
drink a smaller quantity more
frequently; bat the iudividual
must be his own judge regard
ing this, just so long as he
imbibes his prescribed three
pints in twenty-four hours.
One woman, whose skin is
the admiration of all, washes
her face with lukewarm water,
the best toilet soap and a piece
of soft old flannel each night
upon retiring, and rubs it very
gently upward with au old
linen towel. Then she sips a
cupful of hot water; in the
morning she dashes cold wa
ter over her face and neck and
pats it dry with a Turkish,
towel, and sips a cupful of hot
water again. She has never
usjed a cosmetic, and attributes
the beauty of her skin to the
generous use of water, both
internally and externally.
To keep the blood iu per
fect circulation there is no
better aid than bathing. Use
a Turkish towel mitten for
the scrub-off aud a huck, or
Turkish, towel for the vigor
ous afterrub. This is most
beneficial as a tonic bath. A
little snlt added sometimes
gives good results to those in
poor health.
The value of systematic aud
proper use of water is really
wonderful, but for a person
who is physically weak (un
less it is ordered by a physi
cian) the cold “dip” iu the
morning should not be indul-
get in. Sometimes it depresses,
and again it accelerates the
heart action, and causes ex
haustion or sinking. After a
strenuous day, what a luxury R ' K
to have a sponge or tub bath,
to don fresh linen and to sit
down and rest. One should
not indulge in it while warm,
or immediately after eating
however.
Water is one of thegreatlpt
luxuries, and one which rifch
and poor may enjoy with equal
freedom.
