VIMENIIBIMP A Column Prepared: Especia ly for Women-- ut Not Forbidden' to Men Your minds etge endowed' with -a vast number of gifts of totally differ- ent uses limbs of 0end ae it were; which if you don't exercise you tripe ple.--Ruskin.. The above quotation from Raskin appeals to me.rather like Ruskin, although he is, of, course, very much behind the present brisk age. I•Ie is too, a little hard on women. That is, be holds up a very high ',ideal for women to attain to, and a very mas- culine one, as well, ,;But, still he al- ways appealed to ane because he ex- hibits a fineness of sensitiveness of soul which many writers lack. I am sure that" had I known Ruskin person- ally he's the soot of: man'I should-lrkI to have think well of me. The above quotation strikes home to me. Read it ,again and see if et doesn't appeal to you; Woinee are more tempted than any other class of human beings to "cripple" their minds, by leek of -exercise. So moth of their time 'is spent in tasks evhieh do not serve •tor stimulate the mind and yet whieh:are'very 'essential to the well- being of their families. ' "Sometimes," remarked a preacherin. myghearing a short time ago, " I am;glad I am not a woman—most of the time indeed. Think of a woman having to wash the same dishes three times a day, three hundred and sixty-five days in the year?'" Many of the women lis- teniiig ,tohim realized just what it meant- to do that very thing. The preacher went on to show that sn'ch worriers need' to glorify their work, in, ininistering to their families. I agree. Indeed, I've always thought housekeepers did not "magnify" bheir calling" sufficiently. They, them- selves think ill of it, and they allow ether, to think and speak ill of it, un- til it is no Wonder at ,a1I that it is difficult to get self-respecting, am- bitious :girls to become helpers in the home, It is •a mistake, when you considers how important the work is; hew necessaryto the health and well- being of the family. But no matter how important it is to have the closets clean and the flan- nels washed and put away every spring, it is just as irek ortant 'that the housemother should have trine to "exercise' her mind, Women should take time to read, to keep abreast of the times a little, to take a flight into the world of poetry and romance 00- casionally,, so as to forget for a time the washing of dishes' and dusting of furniture. I know 'nine women out of every ten, perhaps, will sniff and say it is all very well for me to, talc, that if.. I knew anything about it -1'd see how. impossible it is for a woman who does all the work of a house and looks after her family to take time for self- improvement. But see What our old friends, Ruskin, says. If we do not exereise-,these mindsofours we crip- ple thein, and there is not a doubt but he's right. Women in this age of ,the World cannot Afford to "cripple" their, minds. They need them at. their • best,' NO matter what sphere of activity a woman occupies she needs to be alert mentally, In business, in the pro fessioes, if she is not alert she is soon left behind in the onward march; in: the home' it is no less true. She Must keep up with her children or they will. soon begin to look elsewhere for .advice and leadership. The wise mother keeps a lip ahead of her children and thus keeps thein }coking wp to' her. It Dais any woman tir keep as many "limbs" of her mind as pessiblo exercised. • REBEKAH WHY HE SAVED HIS LIFE Dr. Crossley 'pulled' an amusing joke in one -Of his addresses here. A man had attempted to drown himself by jumping front a bridge into the river below. A passerby taw the act and, jumping after hin'i, managed to bring hint ashore. On recovering his breath, the rescued man blurted-, t`I wish you'd mind your -own busi- ness." "I am," was the quick re- tort, "You've every bit as much right to live and pay taxes as I have." :Dundalk Herald. - THIS IS The pictll,res, with prUtted ..instructions illustrate and describe . briefly a system of shear- ing •sheep that has been developed by the thou- sands os professional shearers of America and Australia.
