MORE CARE IN LETTER -WRITING.
A correspondent should be very care-
fully chosen. It goes without saying
that no well-bred girl would correspond
with a person she has never met. It
has .00wtimes happened that girls in
factories or in shops or on farms have
sent their names and addresses with
some parcel they wrapped up, and have
rec-ived replies from total strangers.
Going that far is bad enough, but any
giri who goes farther and writes to
such a stranger is not only ill-bred but
foolish. Sometimes such a letterreach-
es a sensible middle-aged man with a
family who promptly writes to the
girl's father or employer and acquaints
him with her folly, all for her benefit.
But usually the man who will write to
a girl in response to such a letter is a
waster of the most evil sort. At the
worst :-he may get into a rt.lation with
him which will ruin her life; at the best,
she may embarrass and compromise her-
self terribly and may be sure that her
letters are bandied about and read by
other men who make a jest of her name
and silliness.
The assumption is that a girl must at
least have met the man who asks her
to write to him. But that is not
enough; she should not only have met
him, but she should have had a long
acquaintance with him before she
agre:.s to correspond. The intention in
the beginning is, of course, that the
correspondence shall be merely a friend-
ly one. But no one can tell when
friendship will develop into love. If
two people see each other often, they
can check or stimulate this develop-
ment; they can learn thoroughly what
each is 'Ake, and if either one is going
too fast, he or she can slow down the
pace'. They don't always do it, but at
east they have the chance. Misunder-
standing and deceit can be carried on
when i;aople see each other face to
face, but at Least it is more easily de-
tected under such circumstances than
it is by letter. But see the dangers
when they are separated.—From
Woman's World fur September.

.ggs Good and Bad.
The t•rehants are having a serious
time losses they are meeting with
i++ bau is. The new system adopted by
the e;.;g; t.uyers of charging back the stalt
tied ttr..k••n eggs in every case amounts
to ata+uall the profit the merchant
gets crma of a case of eggs. It is
difficult for merchants to adopt quality
payment for the reason that farmers
would take objection if any reduction
in price were made on account of the
prest•nee of stale eggs. If some means
could be adopted whereby farmers could
be shown the exact quality of their
eggs as they were marketed the diffi-
culty would be overcome. This would
be made possible by the adoption of a
large candling outfit similar to that
which is used in Denmark which would
permit of placing 120 eggs before the
light at once. The process of candling
would thus be made both easy and
rapid. Through the popular use of
such outfits the quality system has
proved a signal success in Michigan.
Farmers get more for their eggs and
the consumer gets good eggs, without
loss to the middlemen. The new sys-
tem, accompanied by its losses, should
prevent merchants paying a cent or
two a dozen over the market price.
Locomotor Ataxia,
"My nerves were very bad, and I
could not sleep at night, nor could I
control my arms or legs," writes Mrs.
Robt. Bustard, Maxwell, N.B. "Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food cured me of what
I believe was the early stages of loco-
motor ataxia or paralysis. I cannot
describe what I suffered, but now I am
entirely cured."
HARD ON FATHER.
Supper was in process, and the father
was telling about a row which took
place in front of his store that morning.
"The first thing I saw was one man
deal the other's sounding blow, and
then a crowd gathered. The man who
was struck ran and grabbed a large
shovel he had been using on the street,
and rushed back, his eyes blazing fierc-
ely. I thought he'd surely knock the
other man's brains out and I stepped
right in between them."
The young son of the family had be-
come so hugely interested in the nar-
rative as it proceeded that he had
stopped eating his pudding. So proud
was he of his father's valor his eyes
fairly shone, and he cried:
"He couldn't knock any brains out of
you, could he father?"
Father looked at him long and ear-
nestly, but the lad's countenance was
frank and open.
Father gasped slightly and resumed
his supper. —Lippincott's.
N1• hen Blood is Poison. •
The blood must be filtered, otherwise
you are poisoned. If the , kidneys
fail the liver is overworked, and be-
comes torpid. By using Dr. Chase's
Kidney Liver Pills you get both these
filtering organs working right, and also
ensure healthful action of the bowels.
For this reason these pills are an ideal
family medicine. They cure billious-
ness, constipation, chronic indigestion
and kidney disease.
The Man Behind the Gun
Down in New York recently they
have been trying to fix upon the value
of a man to a newspaper. In an effort
to appraise the value of the New York
World and the St. Louis Post Dispatch
in order to divide the estate of the late
Joseph Putlitzer and for taxation pur-
poses, expert evidence was offered.
One point of view was that the proper-
ty is not worth nearly so much with
Mr. Putlitzer dead as with Mr. Putlit-
zer alive. One witness placed Putlitzer's
services to the World as worth $100,000
a year, and to the Post Dispatch at
$3i30,nf0 a year. Another, to prove the
personal equation, recalled that the
Chicago Times was at one time about
the fourth paper in the States and the
second in the West, under the manage-
ment of W. F. Story, It was most
profitable in the year Mr. Story died,
and yet in five years after his death it
was in bankruptcy. The New York
Daily News made $125,000 in one year,
Proprietor Wood died, and next year
the paper made only $93,0011, and in
three years was dead. Another witness
testifticd that the World's value out-
side of its real estate had diminished
one-half by Putlitzer's death. When
they read this, a whole lot of editors
in the Ottawa Valley will be figuring
desperately to find out how touch they
are worth; and the conclusion will prob-
ably be unanimous that they have been
worth more to the community than
they have been to their families.
Lots omen are willing to sell their
experience for ten cents on the dollar.
"It seems to me that Scribbler's

HE DIDN'T KNOW THE GAME.
If Ho Had He'd Never Have Asked
the Question.
AN assistant district attorney was
conducting a case iu the crim-
inal court. A large, rough shoul-
dered negro was in the witness chair,
"An' then," said the witness, "we
all went down iu the alley au' shot a
few crap,
"Ab!" said the attorney, swinging
his eyeglass impressively. "Nov, sit',
1 want you tos address the jury and
tell then) just how you deal craps."
"Wass that?" asked the witness, roll-
ing his eyes,
"Address the jury, sir," thundered
the attorney, "and tell them just bow
yon deal craps!"
"Lemme outen heal." said the wit-
ness uneasily. "Firs' thing I know
this gemman gwine ask me how to
drink a san'wich."—Argouaat.
The Grand Manner.
There was a discussion in one of the
clubs on the use of farthings, and
somebody remarked that in a certain
Srottish town the natives, as part of
their preparations for a visit to Lon-
don, used to polish farthings till they
looked like half sovereigns.
These coins were intended for tips,
and the story goes that when the Scot-
tish express had steamed into King's
Cross station one night a too honest
porter got one of the glittering far-
things from a passenger and was mis-
led into thinking it was a half sov-
ereign in the twilight of the station.
"Ileggin' your pardon, sir," he said
to the man whose bag he batt carried
to a cab, "but 1 think you've made a
mistake."
"Not at all, my good fellow, not at
all," replied the other grandly. "1
never give less.'—Iearsou's Weekly.
Jes' Ruin!
A Barky who had witnessed an exe-
cution by law came forth from the
scene pop eyed with horror and pro-
ceeded to describe the dread scene to
some of his friends.
"Dey tek an' strop you clown in a
cheer," stated the eyewitness, "an'
den des clamps some things on to yore
(aid an' yore laigs, jes' so. An' den
one o' dem w'ite men go over to de
corner where dey is a little jigger set
in de wall, which he gives it one little
pull lak dat, an' she go 'pst-t!"" He
paused.
"An' wont den?" demanded one of
the audience breathlessly.
"Nothin' but ruin." he said, "jes'
ruin!"—Saturday Evening Post.
Rule That Worked Both Ways.
When he had carefully examined the
shoes the physician bad brought in for
repairs the German cobbler handed
them back, saying, "Dem shoes ain't
worth mending, doctor."
"Very well, Hans," said the doctor;
"then, of course, I won't have anything
done to them."
"Vell, but 1 shnrge you 60 cents al-
ready yet."
"Why. what for?"
"Vy. yen I came to are you (le udder
day you sharged me $3 for telling me

Couldn't Reciprocate.
A Scottish farmer was asked to the
funeral of a neighbor's wife, and as he
had attended the funeral of both of
her predecessors his own wife was
]anther sin -prised when he informed her
Nat he had declined the invitation.
For some time Sandy wonld give no
reason for the refusal, bit he could
not stntai the old lady off, so finally he
told her with some hesitation:
"\Peel, ye see, Janet. i dilute nye like

THE MIDDLEMAN.
When the world seems dark and
gloomy as a hearse, and the luck is
daily growing worse and worse, then it
makes our lives more pleasant if there
is a straw man present, who must take
the roast we hand him, and the curse.
Just at present man is rending beard
and robe. since it costs so much to live
upon this gldbe, and we've found a
worthy victim, and we all have punch-
ed and kicked him, and the Middleman
must do the stunt of Job. Oh, the
Middleman we've chosen as the goat,
and we strive to get our fingers on his
throat, and as David slugged Goliath
we shall slug this foul pariah if we
ever get our clutches os 1.i3 coat!
When we take a slice of liver from the
pan, and the butchers swollen bill we
wildly scan, then we hoist the cross-
bones banner, saying in a warlike man-
ner: "We must go ane lynch a mouldy
Middleman!" When man buys a suit
of clothes he wails and rants: "I am
paying seven prices for my pants! On
a smoking red hot griddle should be
placed the man o' middle, with his sis-
ters and his cousins and his aunts!"
And the Middleman he through the al-
leys sneaks; not a'friend in all the city
to hitn speaks; he is shunned or he is
greeted by bombardment oft repeated,
by a chorus of indgnant howls and
shrieks. WALT MASON.

Short Widowhood for them.
As a result of a mining disaster in
Illinois in 1910 one hundred and fourteen
heads of families were killed, leaving
widows an average age of 20 years. The
State Legislature proposed to appropri-
ate a sum sufficient to provide these
widows with a pension while they re-
mained widows and the national direc-
tor of the Red Cross was called on to
work out the scheme. He estimated
that within five years half of them
would marry again, but other authori-
ties considered this a wild guess, and
insisted upon a larger sum for pensions
than he thought necessary. But on July
1 last only.36 of the original 114 bene-
ficiaries were receiving a State stipend.
Not all had actually remarried; a few had
removed to Europe, and a few more
had been granted Carnegie pensions.
But of the $100,000 originally appropri-
ated for the widows nearly $50,000 re-
mained, and this sum was set aside for
the benefit of the children.
Sometimes a woman listens to a
man's talk so she will be ready to
start in when he pauses for breath.

THE CHILD AND WORK.
A child's love of work should be en-
couraged by loving acceptance of its
offers of services if one wishes that
child to be a willing worker later on,
when its assistance will be of more ma-
terial value. For this reason, too, the
child should not be repuired to fatigue
itself with any task; neither should it
be permitted to stop on account of a too
early cry of being "tired." Gentle
persuasion, or bringing a new interest
into the work by the help of a story
regarding the task itself, or a history
of the manufacture of the materials in-
volved, will usually remedy this last
failing.
It has now become no uncommon
thing for young children to cross-stitch
and outline beautifully, boys and girls
alike. One interested mother in a com-
munity has a "thimble club" of little
girls from 4 years up, meeting at her
house once every two weeks to mend
old clothes to be given away. The
variety of plain sewing that those
youngsters can do is remarkable.
There are any number of things a
small child can do about the house and
garden if it is desirous of helping. Even
a 2 -year-old can shell peas. Little
children can go errands up and down
stairs or to the garden, run the egg-
beater, turn the cream whipper, dry
the small dishes, spoons, forks and sil-
ver• knives (the silver ones only, be-
cause they are blunt), turning water
on or off as needed, dusting, weeding
the garden, watering the plants. The
child should have a little watering can
of its own, Pansies, sweet peas, nas-
turtiums and all flowers which have to
be picked daily to perfect their bloom
will furnish endless occupation for the
small gardener. A child of 4 can be
taught to air the beds, especially in
summer when the bedclothing is light
in weight. And there are ever so many
other tasks with which little fingers
can be trusted.
Good Reason For His Enthuslarm.
When a man has suffered for several
days with colic, diarrhoea or other form
of bowel complaint and is then cured
sound and well by one or two doses of
Chamberlain's Colic, Calera and Diarr-
hoea Remedy, as is often the case, it
is but natural that he should be enthus-
iastic in his praise of the remedy, and
especially is this the case of a severe
attack when life is threatened. Try it
when in peed of such a remedy. It
never fails. Sold,by all dealers.
Color Effects.
"One of the secrets of always being
well and suitably dressed," declares a
famous dressmaker, "is to understand
the efiects that color has upon the
spirit, and it is a thing which very few
women take into account. A dress
tnat is becoming to one, in a certain
snood, will be hopelessly unbecoming
another time. For instance, a black
evening frock is always smart, but
don't don one when you are depressed,
or you will feel more so. You'll be a
perfect of woe. A gray frock or a
brown one will have much the same
effect, but white has a soothing influ-
ence. A red evening gown really helps
to brighten a dull occasion, and green
is always cheerful also. Don't put on
a yellow gown unless you are feeling
particularly well, and if you are in ex-
uberant spirits, a blue frock makes a
delightful vision of you. I won't let
my customers try on model frocks
which I'm sure they might like ordin-
arily if they come to mejaded and tired,
because I know that the color will not
suit them at the motnent. A dainty sky
blue creation must not be pressed up-
on a woman who is worried and fatigued.
She cannot see herself in it, or if she
does she promptly loathes it, whereas
another time when she comes in fresh
and smiling, she turns from gayer col-
ors and selects the tender blue."

HOPE.
(By Sidney Morse.)
We cannot kno,v
Aught of that far-off realm by us
named heaven,
Where, in our .fancy, lilies pure as
snow
Fleck all emerald meadows which
are riven
By wondrous singing streams. We
cannot know
Until we go.
We may not tell
If our freed spirit,- searching shall
discover
The kindred souls of those we loved so
well,
Who, when they passed death's mid-
night river over,
Passed speechless and alone, We may
not tell
Nor yet rebel.
Have we not left
That strong impulse to every high
endeavor,
Which swathes the broken heart by
partings cleft?
Hope, skyward, burns its beacon -
light forever,
Beckoning us toward the truth; this we
have left
Who are bereft.
Nothing Lake It Ifor Colds.
Mrs. Holland Ferguson, Sheffield, N.
B., writes: "Dr. Chase's Syrup of
Linseed and Turpentine has cured my
-children and myself of severe colds.
We are never without it in the house.
There is nothing like it for colds and
throat trouble, and it is so soothing
and pleasant to take, my children would
drink a whole bottle if they were per-
mitted."
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
All summer dresses should either be
ironed till dry, or throughly aired after
ironing, if you would avoid creases.
An excellent, simple dessert is gela-
tine, prepared as if for coffee jelly, but
with cherry juice instead of the coffee.
Net collars and colored embroidery
should be washed in soapy water and
rinsed first in warm water, then in cold.
The latter should have a little salt and
vinegar added to set the color.
Russiahl salad in aspic can be made
of almost any kind of left -over vege-
tables, chopped and arranged in layers
in the aspic, Of course, it should be
chilled and served with mayonnaise.
Pure chloroform will remove paint,
grease and other stains from colored
garments. Put clean blotting paper
under the spot and pour the chloroform
—a few drops—on it, in the open air.
A good summer dessert is made by
lining a pudding dish with sponge cake
and filling the dish with stewed fruit.
Put more sponge on the top, press till
cold and coat the whole with boiled
custard.
A Liver Regulator.
Tomatoes are a prime regulator of
the liver and a blood -cooler. They
contain a minute quantity of a vege-
table equivalent for calomel that acts
directly upon the bilious secretions.
But it is so gentle no unpleasant effects
are produced.
One acknowledged authority main-
tains that the tomato should be eaten
raw if the real benefits of the vegetable
are to be ]earned. Cooking, he main-
tains, naturalizes the calomel effect.
Children should be encouraged to eat
the pretty egg and plum tomatoes
i
To make gum arable water, so often ,
used in starching, take two ounces of ;
white gum arabic crystals and dissolve I
in half-pint of water. Strain throtigh
muslin, then bottle and cork.
Capt. 1 och, a Danish explorer, suff-
ered terrible hardships in crossing
Greenland,
which are used for pickling, as a fruit..
They are pleasant to the taste and
highly medicinal.
The skins of tomatoes are not whole-
spme and should be stripped fIom the
pulp when it is is prepared for eating,,
either cooked or raw.
Costly Treahn ut
"I was troubled with constipation•
and indigestion and spent hundreds of
dollars for medicine and treatment."
writes C. H. Hines, of Whitlow, Ark.
"I,went to a St. Louis hospital, also to
a hospital in New Orleans, but no cure
was effected. On returning home I be-
gan taking Chamberlain's Tablets, and
worked right along. I used them for
some time and am now all right." Sold

Canada's Trade $100 Per Head.
An issue of the New York Times
"Annalist" recently alleged in chart
form and by figures that Canada's great
volume of exports as compared with
her imports showed the country to be
in unenviable shape. The huge "bal-
ance of trade" was cited as distinctly
adverse. The following from a recent
issue of the New York "Financier,"
while it was not prepared to offset the
Times' article, is illuminating.
Canada's trade with the United States
has doubled in six years. The balance
in favor of the United States last year
was 285 million dollars. This is account_
ed for by the fact that Canada's de-
velopment requires enormous imports
in connection therewith.
Canada with one -twelfth the popu-
lation of the United States, has an ag-
gregate
ggregate import and export trade be-
tween one-third and one-fourth as large.
This is also caused by the opening of
new territories, and the building of
railroads and new cities.
Counting the population of Canada at
