to undergo a severe surgical operation. 
This left me as the only resource in time 
of trouble. My family consists now of 
my r husband, a young girl whom I 
adopted some years ago, and myself. I 
could not bear to give the girl up to 
some one else, and so set my wits to 
work. I remembered that many of the 
people found it hard to bake in hop-pick¬ 
ing time, as many women were obliged 
to work late at night, and even Sun¬ 
days. The thought came to me that I 
could help these women who needed 
help, by opening a bakery. I put a loaf 
of bread in a small case in the lobby of 
the post office (where I work some with 
the mail). Shortly after a man came 
in and said, ‘ That is a fine-looking loaf 
of bread. Is it for sale ? ’ I replied, 
‘ Certainly.’ ‘ I’ll take it,’ was the reply. 
“ The loaf was replaced by two others, 
and in the course of the day these were 
sold. So each day I baked bread, adding 
other things. During the three weeks 
of hop-picking, I baked 400 loaves of 
bread, while cookies and doughnuts 
reached into the thousands. My bakery 
is now an established fact, and I keep 
all sorts of bakestuffs. I am getting or¬ 
ders from families in town some miles 
distant, and sometimes I have had to 
work all night to fill orders.”

A BABY’S BIGHTS. 
H E has a right to be “ well born.” He 
did not ask for existence ; see to 
it, then, ye parents, that everything, 
from conception to birth, conduces to his 
moral, physical and mental well-being. 
He has a right to healthful blood and 
clear brains, not those impoverished and 
befogged by dissipation, narcotics and 
alcohol. 
He has a right to a happy, healthful 
mother, one not exhausted by excessive 
child bearing and overwork. 
He has a right to be kept sweet and 
clean, that he be not repellent to those 
about him. 
He has a right to wise discipline, since, 
if undisciplined and uncontrolled in his 
infancy and childhood, a felon’s fate 
may await him. 
He has a right to Christian culture, 
since there is no higher. 
He has a right to an education, that 
life’s best gifts may be fully appreciated. 
He has a right to the cultivation of any 
special talent with which he is by nature 
endowed. 
ODDS AND ENDS. 
The Baby’s Carriage. —The baby’s 
carriage should be dainty, as befits a 
royal personage. As luxurious as soft 
pillows and beautiful accessories can 
make it, it should be furnished with a 
view rather to its little occupant’s com¬ 
fort and well-being, than to the satisfac¬ 
tion of its mother’s vanity, says Harper’s 
Bazar. In one particular, the baby car¬ 
riage cannot be too carefully appointed. 
The silken umbrella which shades the 
small face from the view of the chance 
passers, and from the obtrusive sun¬ 
beams, is quite often a dazzling white 
reflector perilous to baby's eyes. Lined 
with green, the effect would be equally 
pretty, and the tender orbs saved from 
sunglare. 
A Hard-Times Profession. — When 
times are hard and means are scanty, 
we learn at least one thing—that it is 
possible to do without many things 
which are ordinarily deemed useful. 
Ingenuity is also brought into play, and 
cast-aside things are utilized. Nearly 
eveiything can be seen to serve some 
purpose if only looked at intelligently. 
Some women have an amazing faculty 
for utilization, and would be public ser¬ 
vants of value if they could be hired to 
go about professionally as household 
economists, to teach families how to re-

low’s Soothing Syrup” for your children

trench expenses, where to cut off outlays, 
and what use to make of this and of that. 
This quality is akin to genius ; we call 
it faculty, and the woman who has it, 
can go to her attic and chests, and 
emerge with the wherewithal to furnish 
a house, clothe the children, or stock a 
church fair with curios and furbelows. 
Men have it less than women, because 
they are less born to ecomomize. But 
the “ faculty ” man has always a treas¬ 
ury from which he can extract bolts, 
screws, wires, hooks and nails, and odds 
and ends that help to save many a 
dollar. m. w. F. 
Incomprete Education. — It woula 
seem that the sensible view to take of 
marriage is that it consummates life for 
the poor and the rich, the vulgar and 
the refined ; that no single life-is the per¬ 
fect life, says the Chautauquan. The 
nature of mankind depends almost 
wholly upon happy marriages and 
healthy offspring. And this suggests 
that there should be no marrying of 
unsound people. Greater selfishness can¬ 
not be imagined than that which brings 
children into the world doomed to a life 
of immitigable misery, the hereditament 
of those who bear their parents’ burden 
of disease. Shall we say that questions 
arise in this connection too delicate for 
discussion with young persons ? Is it 
better to leave the discussion to be raised 
after it is too late ? The sensible view 
of marriage is the view that compre¬ 
hends every consequence. To the young 
people looking forward to a long and 
happy wedded life, it is of vital import-

ance that no element of the subject 
shall be a mystery, that nothing con¬ 
nected with the matrimonial venture 
shall be left to the hazard of chance. 
Barents must understand that their 
children are to be parents, that there is 
no escape from the responsibility, and 
that education is incomplete and train¬ 
ing inadequate which does not qualify 
for maternity and paternity. The young 
man and the young woman who are 
fitted for marriage, are fitted for all that 
a healthy, courageous, and happy life 
demands or imposes. 
PATTERNS FOR R. N.-Y. READERS. 
Write the order for patterns separate 
from other matter, give bust measure 
and pattern number, and inclose 10 cents. 
Each pattern is complete with instruc¬ 
tions for cutting the garment and put¬ 
ting together. 
6424. Ladies’ Sleeves. 
These sleeves are suitable for silk, 
wool or cotton waists, basques, wrap¬ 
pers or tea gowns, and may be made up 
in material to match or contrast with 
the garment. 
No. 1 is represented of fancy striped 
taffeta; a box-plait being laid at the 
back from wrist to elbow, which adds 
extra fullness to the upper portion. 
It is arranged over comfortable, fitted 
linings that have the usual front and 
back seams, the fullness at the top being 
gathered into the arm’s eye. 
No. 2 is a leg-o’-mutton shirt sleeve, 
made of fancy figured percale, without a 
lining, and will be found useful in re¬ 
modeling waists of this kind. It is 
shaped with one seam, and slashed at 
the back of the wrist, the edges being 
provided with laps in the regular-shirt¬ 
sleeve style. Straight cuffs are closed 
with links, studs or buttons, the cuffs 
being provided with button holes to 
correspond, and finished with machine 
stitching. 
No. 3 is the popular one-seam leg-o’- 
mutton sleeve, shown in fancy crepon. 
It may be made with or without linings, 
as preferred, trimmed at the wrists or 
plainly completed, as here shown. Pat¬ 
tern 6424 is cut in three sizes, viz.: 32, 36 
and 40 inches, bust measure. 
FOR MIND AND HEART. 
Trust not to each accusing tongue, 
As most weak persons do; 
But still believe that story false 
Which ought not to be true.' 
—Sain liutler. 
-Henry Ward Beecher: “Every 
man should keep a fair-sized cemetery 
in which to bury the faults of friends.” 
....Ram’s Horn: “Many a man who 
once thought he’d married an angel, has 
discovered that he married something 
which keeps a great deal better in this 
climate—a good woman.” 
....Harper’s Bazar: “The fin de 
siecle spirit, revolutionary though its 
tendencies be, has not diminished the 
demand for stories with love in them, 
though it has imprinted, in a marked 
degree, its stamp upon the kind of love 
which finds its way into the countless 
novels submitted to the verdict of the 
reading public. Love in some form is 
still the best thing in life, the thing peo¬ 
ple most care to read about; it is the 
motive principle of all imaginative writ¬ 
ing.”
