Tnu News.
Some people marry because it is
contageous. Others because they
can’t work in single harness. But
the most marry because they fall
in love and can’t fall out.
The wages of women were never
so high as now, yet it is almost im
possible to procure the service of
a good woman at any price, for
the reason that labor is looked up
on as degrading. Young women
turn to all sorts of office work,
where snares and temptations be
set them because they can dress
better and keep their hands whiter
than they can when doing kitchen
work.
One of the fashionable sins of
the present time is the sin of idle
ness. This may not apply to the
“club ladies” of our town, but
this evil exists to an alarming ex
tent, especially so in larger cities,
where competent ladies flit away
time as if there were no claims up
on them in busy marts of life.
There are persons whom the stress
of circumstances compel to work,
but the work is too often done
under protest. There is a grow
ing distaste for house-keeping.
While all honest, labor is honor
able there is nothing more so than
the care of the home.
The best thing for a child is a
home. The natural life is a home
life. The glory and safety of
America is in her homes, and the
hope of her future is in the ehidren
sheltered by those homes. Her
danger and disgrace are inthe home
less children, who are growing up to
immorality and crime, to want and
disease, to be burdens and pests to
society, for its support. While it
is true that there are some homes
that are such in name only, the
immense majority are better than
no homes at all.

Kid Clove Pillow.
Every woman sooner or later ac
quires a lot of wrinkled wrists Cram
evening to walking gloves. Cut up the
clean parts of these wrists Into trian
gles and squares. Baste them down
on a canvas lining and work them with
"catstitch” In yellow silk. The effect
Is charming when soft shades of gray
and Ivory are used. The discarded
wrists will make the most nerve-sooth

It Is not a little remarkable that Lord
James of Hereford, who la ranked among
the half-doaen best shots In England,
never handled a gun until he was full
blown queen’s counsel and well over 40.
For many years he was one of the king’s
favorite companions as a shot, and
there was always great rivalry between
the lawyer and his majesty as to which
of them should make the bigger bag for
the day.
Infant “Confederates.”
Two women In New York have been

Don't Overdo.
Over fatigue Is regarded by Dr. Bar

ten per cent, of his cases of pulmonary
consumption. Even a single excess—as
unusual bicycling, climbing, hunting, or
even dancing or tennis—may bring into
nativity unsuspected tatexut tubercu

Bricks are capable of absorbing

Cash registers are all but universal In

TALKING AT SEA,
Two Oeenn Liners Crossing in Op
posite Directions Use the
Wireless Method.
The marvels -of wirelesB telegraphy
are great enough to render a recent
use of the system not sufficiently won
derful to be extraordinary, perhaps,
yet the incident reported by Cham
bers’ Journal is one which appeals to
the imagination.
Two Cunard liners, the Lucania and
the Campania, were crossing the At
lantic in opposite directions. Each,
knowing the date of the other’s sail
ing, could make a calculation as to
the hour when they would most likely
meet. When the hour came the vessels
were too far apart to sight each other.
Presently, however, the warning bell
of the wireless telegraphic apparatus
in the Campania tinkled, and the mes
sage was spelled out: “Are you there ?
—Lucania.” And then the two vessels,
still invisible to each other, and, as it
was found, 38 miles apart, talked for
some hours, exchanging experiences
aa to the weather, and finally pnrting
with the word “good-by” when they
were 140 miles asunder.
Such a conversation carried on be
tween vessels in the open ocean, sep
arated by: such a vast stretch of wa
ter and out of sight of each other, is
an impressive illustration of what
wireless telegraphy means.
KILLING OF THE CHINCHILLA.
Far Dealers In Thin Country Are
Deeply Interested tn Its Dangret
of Extermination,
Fur dealers are much interested in
the news from Chili that the chin
chilla has almost been exterminated
by fur hunters and that stringent
measures will have to be applied to
prevent the extinction of the animal
there. In spite of laws for its pro
tection in Bolivia, the chinchilla has
almost entirely disappeared from
that republic, and furriers fear that
it may disappear in Chili as well, re
ports the New York Sun.
According to customs reports the
number of the animals killed in Chili
has increased greatly in recent years.
The number of chinchilla pelts ex
ported in 1900 was 695,300, more than
double the exports of 1893.
A scientific society in Chili has al
ready drafted a law forbidding the
hunting of the chinchilla for four or
five years in certain regions, and al
lowing hunting elsewhere for only
half the year. It also forbids the use
of firearms, dogs, fire and, in fact,
everything except traps.
The fur dealers expect that the
law will be enacted and predict that
the price of chinchilla fur will soon
be very much higher.
NOTICE
After July, 20th, I will work for
cash only, as cost of material and
labor arc continually advancing
and prices are too low to do a cred
it business.
I find that many times accounts
that I considered good are by reas
on in changes of fortune of some
customers, owing me are rendered
unvaluable. I have found that 1
am banking on good health and
good business ability, honesty and
good luck of a great many people
who’s account I carry on my book
and you will agree with me that in
so doing I am taking big chance
in my business.
I find that many times it cost
me more time and expense to col
lect aec’ts as to do the work. So I
adopted the plan of doing a cash
business, which will be an advant
age to my customers as well as my
self. I ask the continuance of
your patronage as well as to share
the benefit of doing business on a
cash basis. Thanking you for
your past favors, 1 am,
Yours Truly,
Tom Burkett.

If you have a machine it may have been fairly
satisfactory in the past, but when you see the Volo
and the kind of work it does you will be satisfied
with nothing else. The very finest material has been
used throughout its entire construction. Every adjust
ment is perfect and it has roller-bearings which
make it noiseless and light running, fast sewing and
capable of doing either the most delicate or heaviest
work in the most satisfactory manner. Its arm is
higher than that on any other family sewing
machine in the world. This enables one to easily
sew quilts and goods of considerable bulk. Call and
examine our new stock. We shall be glad to explain
every point in detail.
