I ften wonder how it is that some love- able girls, who are domesticated, obliging and ecoroplished, are so terribly careless of thei personal appearance at home? They are i. the minority, I gladly admit, but they are to be met with very frequently, and it is or their beneit that 1 pen this para- grap Why should the meta -there of your own household, who are, presumably, far dear r to you than strangers, be treated with less consideration than outsiders? If you were staying at a friend's house you woal sot leave your bedroom without mak- ing careful, though not elaborate, toilette. Why, when under the parental roof, should you take your lends at the breakfast table with hair still in "irons," neck and wrists deci edly untidy, and a general appearance of n glect and slovenliness prevading your attir ? Even if there are household ditties of a grubby " nature to be performed— fires be lit, grates to be brushed or car- pets o be avsept—these can be done just as well f the hair has been neatly arranged, the • erning ablutions cenecientiously per- form d, and a neat dress donned. Then, just lefore breakfast, another washing of the -hands, and the putting on a collar and a pita of cuffs, will make the busy girl quite as at ractive in appearance as she undoubt- edly s when " dressed " for the afternoon. Th habit of going about the house un- tidil attired is one that grows rapidly on the u wise giel who once adopts it. It ap- pears so much more easy to keep in. the " cu lere," instead of giving the hair its matu inal brushing and arranging. The comp exion-preserving wash is shirked, be - Vans° the water " is so cold "—this is notsen exag eration ; there are some girls who in wire r never wash their face tilt after break- fast. The old gown, with frayed wrists, xnissi g buttons or broken button holes is nab in morning after morning, until ite wear lecomes almost second nature; and no atte pt is made to "look nice," until there is a c ance of being seen by somebody out- side tile family circle. I t ink if these untidy girls could only hear he remarks made about them when by chan e a stranger does happen to catch_ sight of them in their unlovely garb, they Wouli at once relinquish their slovenly ha- bits. The strange thing is that it is gener- ally ince-looking lassies who are the worst sinne 8 in this respect. Plain girls know how eatly neatness of attire adds to per- sonal attractions, and, very wisely, take care to adopt it. I Thr Future of the Business Woman. Edi ard Bok writes in the March Ladies' Borne Journal that women, having proven theaeelves incapable of meeting the de- mand af modern business, are rapidly be- ing re laced by men. "Naturally the clues - tion a ises in the mind : What will become vrefingthse women ? The answer is that they home back whence they came; into the " ause for congratulation. It means the w domestic helpers. This is a dise tinet thdrawal of a vast number of women from uties for which they were never , in- tende ,and from a commercial atmosphere swhiivelee reality, is distasteful to the sen - it that t feminine mind and tine womanly tem- Ilesa ent.

The case is the more pitiful as Mr. Coates Was away and a !mileage, sent as soon is his wife WAS taken ill, failed to reach him. As soon as the Go ding Brothers learned this they eeoured B. 16 ock car on a passing freight train and hiped a horse and rider to Kamima to look for him. He was found and informed of his great loss, but he did not arrive in Shoshone until about fonr o'clock, and then the heart his arrival would have cheered was still; the eyes cannot see and the ears are deaf; the home is desolate; she who was its joy and light had crossed the dark river." Mrs. Coates' maiden name was Catharine M. McKay. She was a native ot Hullett, and herself and Mr. Coates moved to Idaho in the spring of 1996. The broth- ers and sisters of deceased are John and Robert McKay, of Newark, New Jersey; Mre. William McFadzean, Grey township; and Mtn. Albert Coates, Hullett township. Half brothers and sisters are Donald Me - Milian, of Grey ; James, of Walton ; Misses Euphemia, of Grey, and Maggie, of Hui - lett. The cause of Min, Coates' death was premature childbirth.

Children's sayings are always amusing, Here are a few collected by a Chicago paper: " Oh, look, mamma," said little Nellie, in an inedible whisper, as a baldheaded man with a full beard entered the room, 'there's a man whose hair has all grown down through his face !" "Now, boys," said the Sundae; school teacher, addressing the juv- enile class, "who can tell .me why St. Peter is always standing at the golden gates ?" " Mebbey he's layin' for the fellers what robbed him to pay Paul," answered one small urchin. Little Clara, epon being censured by her mother for some small mischief she had been engaged in, sat think- ing it over for some time, and finally ex- claimed, "Oh, how I do wish I had a little brother !" "Why do you wish that, Clara?" queried her mother. "Cos," was the reply, "this thing of being blamed for everything I do makes me tired." • HAGYARD'S YELLOW OIL cures sprains, bruises, gores, wounds, outs, frmstbites, ohilblains, stings of nsecits, burns, scads, c3oritusions, etc. • Prlq3 250. Romance of an Egg. In the summer months large forces of girls are employed here handling eggs taken from pickling vats to be prepared for ship- ment. One of the girls last summer selected a large, smooth egg, and in a moment of -day dreaming wrote her name and address upon it with an indelible pencil. It was placed in a case with 277 others and found its way to Cuba. Months passed and the young woman forgot the incident, until she received a letter from Charles Percy N. Smith, dated at Guines, Cuba, January 10th, reading: "Miss Lizzie Gilday : I am sure you had no idea into whose hands and to what dis- tant lands the egg upon which you wrote your name would go. .It came with a large shipment from the United States, and was purchased . by a Cuban merchant here, who, being unable to read English, brought it to me for translation. I would-be glad to have you answer this letter, as I am curious to know the one who adopted so novel a meth- od of correspondence. I have a camera, and have had a snapshot taken of myself with the egg in my hand. If you care for one of the pictures let me hear from you." The letter was promptly answered, with a request for the picture, which arrived in due time with another letter, in which Mr. Mother's Remedy For Croup, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat and Asthma is Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine.

During September, :October, and November, 1899, 112,000 lamhs, making 560 car loads, were shipped from Canada. These lambs, at an average of $2150 apiece, represented a total value of about $270,000. The United States Government received $90,000 in duties on account of these im- portations. The figures for the correspond- ing period of 1898, however, show a slight falling off in this class of imports. Mr. Johnson says that the trade in poultry is correspondingly extensive. —Moralizing on the present high price of butter, the Toronto Telegram says : "An improvement in the quality of Canadian butter may be one explanation of the high price of that product. The drifted roads may contribute to this scarcity, but a thaw would remove this cause of high prices and allow butter to drop to the old level. It is potsible that butter will not drop far. The demands of. the English market are increas- ing, and the demands of the Canadian mar- ket will increase as the quality of the but- ter improves. There is nothing quite so durable as bad butter. One pound of rank butter will go further with a family than four pounds of good butter. If the Ontario farmers steadily produce butter of a high quality, agreat part of their output will never have to seek a market in England. ti a 11 p •••• Another Lincoln Story.
