J)on't Fret,
In this clay and age of progressive ideas,
the good housewife who reads can hardly
pick up a paper that Mee not contain one
or more little sermons that seen t0 have
been written especially for her, or at least
are very applicable to her case. Seine preach
on neatness, some on economy ; others lay
down laws for the health, MIMoh, if follow-
ed by any except the most robust, would
result in death 4n six months ; others still
would teach us how to trains Our children ;
cur 01111chen the rules aro for, you under-
stand, not theirs, if they have any. If a
woman is Molinari to bo sensitive, she is
overcome with a sins° of leer weakness, mod
oolupletcly over•polverod with the fooling
that slteis not living her life as she 0110)1id,
that in none of those things does she at
all appoaoh the standard of perfection set
forth.
Now I want to have my say, too, and will
taste for my text these two little words:
" Don't foot." In the first place, don't fret
because yen cannot do mil be ail things in
one. For instnuee, if you find, after trying,
that you cannot be a 110110ct looneekoeppor,
and at the same time a good hontomnlser,
then wake up your 11:11,1 which you hill be

Perhaps you will say there should be uo
difference. Maybe so, but I assure you
there i0, as prauticod. A perfect specimen
of a housewife 'tight have all tic good
qualities that go to make the homemaker,
and be a good housekeeper, too, but perfect,
81)00111lens of any class are rare ; so if you
deoido that the health and happiness of
your loved mot; is of more importance than
a fele specks of dirt, then don't let it fret
you when 00(1111 plain spoken person preaches
yell a sermon from the text, "Cleanliness is
next to godliness." Next to it, remember,
nut never ahead of it. And I firmly be-
lieve there are people in this world to wed-
ded to their bion, cleanlineo0, that they run
groat risks of crowding out godliness en-
tirely. Childless wives who hempen their

For what eau outweigh the love of a little
child ?
Few women who pride themselves on
being orderly, and who take great p11io0 to
inform you of it stake pleasantcomp11uio10
an olose aeg11aunt5110e. They cannot carry
out all their pet theori00, without making
someone uncomfortable. Usually itis their
own immediate family that gets the full
benefit of their orderliness. It was 013' mis-
fortune to board with one of those very
neat persons one summer. I do not, know
that she was au exception at all, but she
took for ler motto, "Order is heeven'sfirst
law," inti she lived up to the very loiter of
it, until any place wits better then home to
ler whole family, Her good man could
smoke his pipe nowhere but in the back
kitchen, liar boy could wear lois boots no
farther'. The slttiig•roeu curtains could
not be raised ou 11 sunny day for fear of
fading the carpet, nor the floor left open
for Pose of flies. The parlor was thor-
oughly cleaned in the spring and again in
the fa11, and in the meantime had not
been opened to company except on two o0-
casion0,
Ugh I It gives me the blues yet to recall
that summer. Take my -advice ; be neat in
El general way, but do not put it aimed of
everything else. In short do not follow any
" fad" until you estrange all your friends,
and dou't fret if you fail to attain the per-
fection you see or think you see in others,
It hardly seems reasonable for anyone to set
down rules for another to f0ilow. In house-
work, if anywhere in the world, every one
should be a law unto herself. For inateneo
what is economy for one is not for another.
Some will tell you that It is poor economy
to make rag carpets, but Illy experience ds
to the contrary. If you have a family of
children, the fags aro sure to accumulate,
and I know of no better use they can be
put to. Rae carpets are muoll nicer than
bare floors, for no matter how niocly thoy
may be painted or stained, if there are boys
around, their noise on the bare floors will
distract a nervous person. Then don't fret
if they are getting shabby, and don't take
them up until you can replants them. Don't
fret because you-oaiinot clo 08 01110r0 do. You
have a perfect right to your own methods,
and if you should puee try to follow out all
the ideas advanced by different writers you
would certainly laud in tho " Slough of
Despond." Do the best you can in your
ephero and with your oir4amstauces, looking

The boys worn all impatient to carry Ont

next morning, when their parents believed
them to be ectad asleep, they were tramp-
ing lightheartedly over the fields. They
had helped themselves to whatever supplies
they could fled -bread, pias, lard, pepper
and salt and a le;; of (rant, .Nick had not

shoulder and a shot pouch awl powder

armed with bow aml arrows and a hammer-
less pistol.
They escaped observation by striking to
the wooded hills ant ravines, and several
!tours after sunrise they penetrated the edge
of 1lieet000 Swamp, which stretched for
three or four miles along the base of the
mountain, and was almost as wide as It was
long, 11 was 1 weird and lou1sme place,
11111 of pile trees and tangled thiekots, grim
beds of rock pierced le; shadowy caverns,
marshy spots oriso•:reseed by slimy streams
and deep pools of inky black water. In
feet, there was water every where, cud thus
the swamp was a veritable nest of islands.
Tho boys node their way 1.0 the vary cotter,
oro00ing the pools and streams by natural
bridges of fallen trees. Here they found
hard soil and choosing an open glade among
tall pine trees they built a rude lean.to of
bushes and fragrant pine boughs. This
labor mounted. them until late afternoon,
and when they had prepared} and eaten a
hearty supper the twilight shadows were
falling on the lonely swamp. A blaring fire
made the scene more cheerful and banished
a touch of homesickness. Tho young Crusoes
were too tired to sit up long. They laid
clown side by side in the Cosy 10011 111 and
palled the blankets over them. In less
then five minutes they were sound asleep.
Thoy awoke to find a thunderstorm raging
which forced them to take shelter on a
rooky ledge.
Suddenly a rustling was heard in the
bushes, and as the 014rtled lads riveted
their eyes on the spot a man strode into the
firelight, The visitor was en evil -looking
tramp. His clothing was soiled and tat-
tered. Id is hair ail beard were matted and
unkempt. Ho had bleary eyes and swollen
purple cheeks.
There was 110 tune for escape, even had
the boys oh00en 1,0 rush into the darkness
and storm. They shrank back against the
rook as the tramp seized Teddy's gun, and
brandished it menacingly.
"Here's look" he oried, in a harsh, crack-
ed voice. "Geed company, a warm fire,
an' plenty to eat, all ready an' waiting, as
sure as lily names Rusty Walker. What
do I sum there ? Ham ? An' ain't that a
pia sliokin' from under that blanket ?
Well, this is a lark I"
The boys shrank closer to the ledge,
shivering with fear. At that moment they
bitterly regretted the rash impulse Minn
led them to run away from home and par-
ents, 'Would they ever see either again ?
kir. Rusty Walker observed the dread
that he had inspired, and straightway
scowl d ferociously.
" Don't yop stuck-up young cubs know a

!hurt my feelin'e, an' 1 intend to pay yon

He emphasized the command by taking a
step forward, and liftiug theguu as though
to strike.
"Please don't hurt us," whined Teddy,
"We're Join' it as fast as we clan."
With trembling hands he and Niok omp.
tied their pockets, until a little pile of
coins, handlrerohiefe, Barlow knives, fish-
hooks and other boyish treasures lay at
their feet,
Tho tramp grimly !appropriated the spoil,
" What brought yo:l chaps into the
swamp?" he demanded, eyeing the boys
011010 t0ly. "I m0re'n half believe you run
away from home,"
"Not exactly that," Teddy ventured to
reply, in 14 timid V0100 ; "but w0 had to
oo'k bard, and couldn't go fishing or to
rho oircus,"
" Well, you're it precious pair of fools"
said the tramp; " You don't know when
you're well of."
IIo paused a moment and tutted straight
into the fife, as though he saw somethiug
among the fiance. Then he resumed, in a
strangely husky voi001-
" I wee a boy once, an' lived on a farm.

Lancashire, height 9 feet 3 inches, and an
Irishman named i4Iurphy, a contemporary
of O'Brien, height feet 10 inches. It has
been stated that there have been in other
countries men of 10, 12, and even 111 feet
in height, but these cases have scarcely been
supported by such evidence as would justify
the fact of such extreme heights being con-
sidered conclusively proved.
A Speculation on Death.
When the typhoid epidemic was at its
height, when cases were being reported
daily and everybody expected that there
would be many deaths from the disease,one
local Rower firm decided to make& specula
tion on death. It was figured out that
there would be an unusual number of deaths
and that this would mese a demand for au
unusual number of Ileal pieces. In the
manufacture of floral pieces moss i0 an abso•
lute necessity, and the peu1liar kind that is
used oolnos front Oregmu and Washington.
Tho firm in question drought to matte a
speculation by ordering a quantity of thio
moss early and running a 000000 in it, The
01001 has arrived and has been placed hi
storage. But out of all the eases of typhoid
fever the deaths have lumbered less than
twentyfive, and there is one firm that has
moss enough on !land for several years. -

As a euro for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonle, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nino -tenths of all the ailrnente to which the hum=
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion mid impaired dives -
tip::. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood-, a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Staved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the
right lcincl of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried 031, it is the ..
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con-
tain
ontain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the -
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de" •
rangement.
