Men Who Never Marry.
The men who never marry ate too often
only sons wbo are made too comfortable
at borne by their adoring female rela
tives.
Here is a case in point, says the Boston
Globe. He lives with an old widowed
mother and three devoted sisters in vari
ous stages of spinsterhood, and if ever a
man was regularly spoiled, that man is
he.
They would, when he wss dining out,
put out his gloves and socks for him, per-
lume his pocket handkerchief, and leave a
buttonhole in a specimen vase on his
dressing-table. He was not allowed to
pin it in for himself, though; they did
that. Last thing of all, they would run
down-stairs and tie a silk muffler around
his neck, for fear he stiouId take a chill.
When he came home, one of them
would be waiting for him, and run to the
door to open it. Dinner was ordered with
an eye to his special tastes and likings,
and the whole house was ordered to please
him.
Now, that man would never marry. That
was a foregone conclusion. Nobody else
could ever make him so comfortable; one
wife couldn’t vie with three maiden sis
ters aud a mother in petting and spoiling;
he knew that he was a great deal too well
off ever to change his state.
Another kind of man never marries—
tie man who is overcautious. He thinks
he will be quite sure, before he asks a girl
to marry him, that he won’t see another
girl he likes better. Then he considers
that he isn’t, perhaps, quite in a position
safely to marry just vet.
So he waits and waits till old age
comes upon him, and then he thinks he
will marry and provide himself with a
nurse. But still he can’t decide whom to
have. A young wife wouldn’t show him
enough care, and an old wife would soon
want taking care of herself.
Finally he drops out of the world, a lone
ly, unregretted old bachelor, and not
woman weeps for bis loss.
You can generally pick out the men who
will never marry by one or two pretty cer
tain signs. Selfish men marry. Women-
haters marry.
Confirmed bachelors marry pretty often,
and so do the men people call most z
likely. But the spoiled man’s name never
figures in the list of marriages in the daily
paper, nor does that of the man who is
overcautious.

The Newport (Kentucky) W. C. T. U. is
erecting a fine drinking-fountain. It will
be a bronze statue of a young girl with a
pitcher in one hand, from which ice-water
will flow, and a pan in the other, from
which a spray will descend. The total
cost will be $400.
Mrs. Harriet M. Plumb, of New York,
has invented a oontrivanoe for keeping
cars supplied with fresh air without the
annoyance of cinders. The new patent
has been in use on looal trains between
San Francisco and Oakland, California,
and is very satisfactory.
There are three important times in a
man’s life—when he is born, when he mar
ries and when he dies. Bat even then his
personal importance is overshadowed by
the curiosity to know whether he is a boy
or a girl, what the bride wore and how
much he left in his will.
Evening shoes will continue to match
the toilet. In order to give the ankle an
appearance of extreme slenderness, the
tongues of the latest shoes are very much
elongated. Openwork gold and silver
slippers are something new, and the old-
fashioned rosette is taking the place of the
buckle as an ornament.

Dear Householders :
Out in the darkness the last faint
rays of the moon play hide-and-seek
with the glittering dew-drops.
As the moon descends and passes
beyond the striking foliage of the dis
tant forest, the stars in the heavens
appear more brilliant.
The katy-dids chirp their songs in
the shrubbery, and a lone cricket
sends forth a mournful cadence from
the wood.
With these things before me, my
mind is prone to wander to the inspi
ration that gave forth my first feeble
effort for this department six years
ago.
Ah! I little thought then it would
ever be my privilege to meet the
Mother Hubbard who gave me kindly
notice, and by that notice, encourage
ment. But it was.
When I was in Georgia in June, as
Will and Ir eturned from Douglasville
we met at the Powder Springs depot
Miss Callie Cochran, our first Mother
Hubbard.
It was only for a few minutes. Will’s
father waited to take us home. I tried
afterward to see her, but everything
was one-sided. God bless the sides.
And now we are told that Callie has
married.
With all due deference and appre
ciation for the many women and girls
that I met on my trip, none impressed
me more forcibly as possessing those
womanly attributes that contribute so
much to a higher, broader and more
liberal womanhood than Callie or
Nixy, of ye olden times.
And now, Nixy, the God who watch
es the whispering crickets and chirp
ing katy-dids, that gave inspiration
to my first expression,watch over yon,
and also him to whom yon have given
your life for weal or woe.
In behalf of those Householders who
knew you in the days of our noble
Veritas, I waft yon many good wishes.

Westminster abbey possesses for boys
and girls objects of interest in the tombs
of many little children, whose parents
though kings and queens, mourned for
their darlings just as other mothers and
fathers would do. Tiny ooffius in great
number crowd the vaults of the mighty
race of Stuarts. In the aisle of the oha pel
of Henry VIII. is a snot termed "The In
nocents’ Corner." Here are buried two
little daughters of James I., and in an urn
near by repose the bones of the two young
princes, Edward V. and Bichard, duke of
York, said to have been smothered in the
tower by order of their wioked, ambitions
uncle, Richard III. History tells a sad
story of these young lives. Persuaded by
their uncle to leave their mother, who had
taken refuge at Westminster, at night
with her blessing and a tender kiss they
went forth. The poor stricken moth
er never saw her boys again, and
never really knew their fate. Two hun
dred years later their bones were discov
ered under a stairway in the tower, and
placed in thin urn by order of Charles
II.
Among the earliest royal monuments in
the abbey is that of the beautiful little deaf
and dumb daughter of Sling Henry III ,
Prineass Catherine, aged five years. She
was the idol of her father’s heart, and her
sweet, gentle ways, with her sad, speech
less lips, endeared her so entirely to the
royal household, that the closing of ner
little life was a great grief throughout the
kingdom.
Her royal parents seemed unfortunate
with their children, as two little boys—
baby princes—rest beside their little sis
ter. Four little nephews were also buried
in the same spot.
In the ohapel of St. Michael is the tomb
of a little royal child whose death was
very sad, being caused by the mistake of
its nurse in giving it poison. Near by is a
monument with the simple inscrip
tion:
"Jane. 'Listen, dear ohild.' ”
"Simplicity alone dominates everything
to-day,’’ says Scribner’s, "and remains the
mark of good style, of distinction, and of
the real aristocracy of taste. In any case
fashion is only ridiculous when it begins
or when it finishes. Who can say what
our children will think of our costumes at
another exhibition of the arts relating to
woman towards 1910 or 1920."
Mrs. Richards says in an article in the
current Forum that "the most difficult
kind of education is the education that
relates to diet. Heretofore," says Mrs.
Richards, "civilized man has claimed as
his peculiar privilege, and as a proof |of
his superiority to animals, to eat what he
liked, whether it was suitable or not, and
as a result he has been compelled to em
ploy skilled physicians to core him of con
sequent ills. But now man is finding
himself to be only an upright animal,
amenable totne same laws of growth ar d de
cay as other animals. The science of hum
an nutrition is, in the immediate future, to
play a larger part in therapeutics than
heretofore, ana it will be of great advant
age to tbe physician to be able to 'pre
scribe certain food preparations with as
much confidence as he now prescribes
medicines. At present he has less confi
dence in the cook than in the druggist."
The kitchen stove in Berlin is a carious
structure to American eyes. It is made of
white porcelain tiles, with polished bress
doors and trimmings and an iron top. The
ordinary German "koch machine" has
only one hole, which is directly over the
grate, bat this is covered by a series of
concentric rings, so that it may be regu
lated to suit the size of the pot. Directly
over the grate and around tnia hole the
stove becomes very hot, but on any other
part of the stove dishes may be set with
perfect safety. The baking ovens, trvo in
number, are back of the stove, and are
heated by a separate fire, made directly
under them, and made only when neces
sary, The oven may be made hot in about
twenty minutes, but though admirably
adapted for meats, the heat from below is
so great that puddings and cakes will burn
badly in the bottom before they are half
baked. The Germans never hake cake
and bread as we do. They always hay the
latter, and if they occasionally make the
former they send it out to a baker to ba
baked; these ovens are, therefore, admira
bly adapted to the German housekeep
ing. •
Do not throw away the green leaves of
oelery. Wash the perfect ones and dry

A WOMAN OF THE WORLD.
Some Habits Which Have a Tendency
to Make Her Agreeable.
She had been talking pleasantly to two
or three women; she made her geo I-byes
all cheerful and bright, after she had dis
appeared, one woman turned to another
and said in a tone that was scoffing:
"She is a thorough woman of the world."
Now, in this case, says a writer in the
Ladies’ Home Journal, the woman who
had said none but pleasant words, who
had stopped by a bright story the discus
sion of a petty scandal, was a woman who
was as bravehearted as any that ever
lived, and who bore, not only her own,
hat the hardens of a good many other peo-
f >le, yet she saw no reason why she should
ufilet her troubles on her friends, nor
why, while she was in the worla she
should not be in its best sense a woman of
the world.
A woman of the world is one who feels
that the story told to hart your feelings is
essentially bad form.
A woman of the world is one who is
courteous to old people, who laughs with
the young and who makes herself
agreeable to women in all conditions of
Have yon ever heard of a friendship
bookcase? One recently seen had pure
white enamel shelves. They were fitted
into a corner of the owners pet room.
From the top shelf hung a pale blue silk
curtain, which was shirred on a brass rod.
Across the curtain, embroidered in gilt
thread, was the quotation:
I love my books, they are companions
dear;
Sterling in worth, in friendship most sin
cere.
The shelves contain only books given to
the owner by her friends. There was a
little book called "Daily Strength" bound
in white and gold. "Dreamlife" and
"Reveries of a Bachelor," dressed in
white, with heartsease sprayed on their
covers, stood side by side. A volume of
Bret Harte’s stories was in close associa
tion with a book by Mark Twain. Long
fellow’s "Evangeline" and Whittier’s
"Snow Bound" wore twin attire. Each
book had its marked passages, and doubt
less each one had its tender memories.
A shelf for books will not be altogether
out of place in the kitchen. There are
some much-needed books for this part of
the house as well as for the library. Fcr
instance, there are the cook books that the
modern housekeeper needs for reference,
since methods are changing all the time,
and there is a blank book yon need your
self to jot down receipts in or else to paste
in tnose yon may clip from magazines or
papers. Then there are the butcher’s and
grocer’s books, that should be kept where
they are easily found. That housekeeper
who can prevail upon her cook to keep an
account book, and trust her to guard the
small leaks of the kitchen by taking pains
to note expenditures, is fortunate, indeed;
however, this sort of "help" cannot be
reckoned upon in every household.
Many children who cannot take cod-liver
oil by itself, or who cannot assimilate it
even if they suoceed in getting it down,
can do so with the aid of a little orange
wine. Pour the wine into the glass first,
and the oil onto the wine, and you will
find that there will be no difficulty in the
matter.
life.
A woman of the world is one who makes
her good morning a pleasant greeting, her
visit a bright spot in the day, and her
good-bye a hope that she may come
again.
A woman of the world is one who does
not gauge people by their clothes or
their riches, but who condemns bad man
ners.
A woman of the world is one who does
not let her right hand know what her left
hand does. She does not discuss her char
ities at an afternoon tea or the faults of
her family at a prayer-meeting.
A veritable woman of the world is the
best type of a Christian, for her very con
sideration makes other women long to im
itate her. Remember that Christ came
into the world to save sinners and to be in
the world and among it and the people
who make it, and to do your work as a
woman of the world means more than
speaking from platform or assumed eleva
tion.
, A woman of the world is one who is
courteous under all circumstances and in
every condition in which she may be
placed. She is the woman who can re
ceive the unwelcome guest with a smile so
bright and handshake so cordial that in
trying to make the welcome seem real it
becomes so. A woman of the world is one
whose love for humanity is second only in
her life’s devotion and whose watchword is
unselfishness in thought and action. By
making self last it finally becomes natural
to have it so.
Don’t Swear.
A newspaper man, who evidently
believes in telling things just as they
are, says: (( Do not swear. There is
no occasion to swear outside of a prin
ting office. It is useful in proofread
ing, indispensable in getting forms to
press, and has been known to assist in
looking over the paper when it is
printed, but otherwise is a very dis
gusting habit.’’—Exchange.

Dr. Price’s
Cream Baking: Powder
Will give better results. Simply use one teaspoonful of Dr.
Price’s Cream Baking Powder to each pint of flour, or in
the proportion of two teaspoonfuls to every pound of flour.
How to avoid Alum and Ammonia Baking Powders:
First, All powders offered at twenty-five cents or less a
pound can safely be discarded as Alum, for a Pure Cream of
Tartar Powder cannot be sold at such price.
Second, Avoid all brands labeled “Absolutely Pure,”
Chemical analysis, as revealed by the Scientific American report,
proved that brands so labeled contained, in every instance,
either Ammonia or Alum. The first aim of a dishonest man
ufacturer is to deceive by his label.
