warranted conclusion, but something in 
the words quoted, leads one to suspect 
that, if amplified, the professor would 
further urge that to man has been given 
all needed wisdom, an obedient wife being 
the only supplement his omniscience 
requires for the construction of a model 
home, a theory not unknown even in 
America. Hut, with all deference to 
those wiser than we, any of us who has 
seen a home ruled by the husband alone, 
will be fain to urge that there are times, 
very many of them, when the judgment 
of a bright and loving woman will avert 
more barm than even the most dicta¬ 
torial masculine arbiter can cause to 
threaten. 
Homemaking and childbearing being 
woman's highest calling, are they of 
such inferior moment that any equip¬ 
ment, or no equipment at all, is good 
enough ? Where is the man who would 
as lief have been born of a mindless 
peasant woman as of the best type of 
womanhood ? 
If his Majesty, of Austria, could but 
visit one of our public libraries, and, 
going to the shelves devoted to biog¬ 
raphy, read what is there testified con¬ 
cerning mothers, would he continue to 
think well of his country’s decision con¬ 
cerning woman, and what she may, and 
may not do ? prudence t. primrose. 
FRESH AIR AND EXERCISE. 
M ANY people do not seem to realize 
that persistent and industi’ious 
breathing, making a business of it, so to 
speak, for a few minutes evei-y day, 
will do more toward clearing out the 
system than half of the drugs and nos¬ 
trums that doctors are fond of pi*cscrib- 
ing, and that druggists love to com¬ 
pound, says the New York Ledger. 
This, with the exercise that one is 
likely to get in going and coming from 
the daily task, may, if cax-ef ully attended 
to, furnish the means for the consump¬ 
tion of the waste matter of the system, 
thereby giving the vital organs the 
strength and freedom to perform their 
several offices in the most acceptable 
manner. 
A child who had been an invalid fx*om 
her cradle was restored to health by a 
little swing put up in her room. Her 
feet, ankles and legs were too weak to 
bear her weight. There was no develop¬ 
ment of the muscles, and the conditions 
w r ere such that entire helplessness 
seemed to stare her in the face. This 
swing was so arranged that by a very 
little effort, she could push herself into 
motion. The idea was novel and pleased 
her greatly. At first she could move but 
a little way, but she soon became so in¬ 
terested in this amusement that she ex¬ 
erted all of her strength to move her 
weak and almost useless feet. Day after 
day she tried vei-y hard, having heard 
some one say that she would never be 
able to swing any distance. She there¬ 
fore made up her mind, with the per¬ 
sistence that frequently accompanies 
such temperaments, that she would not 
stop until she could touch her toes to 
the ceiling. Hour after hour she worked, 
accomplishing but little at a time, until 
almost before her family were aware the 
color came into her face, her muscles 
began to develop, appetite increased, 
the circulation was restored, and the 
nerves became steady, She now walks 
about the world an extremely comfort¬ 
able, well-developed and healthy young 
woman, a monument to the wit and 
wisdom of some persons who made up 
their minds that it was possible to amuse 
people into health and bring about 
normal conditions. 
It is stated by an eminent physician 
that, if evei’y child had a swing in its 
playroom, so arranged that it could, 
by pushing with its feet, get itself 
in motion, it would develop muscle, 
strength and symmetry in less time and 
in a more agreeable fashion than could 
be secured in any other way. Care must 
always be taken to fasten the child so 
that it is impossible for it to fall, and to 
let it hold on by the ropes, thus exercis¬ 
ing its arms, neck and shoulders, and 
the pushing with the feet will do the 
rest. When this child’s treatment was 
going on, it was warmly dressed, as 
though for outdoor exercise, and the 
windows thrown wide open in the sever¬ 
est weather. 
SENSE AND SENTIMENT. 
There is many a rest in the road of life, 
If -,ve would only stop to take it; 
And many a tone from the better land, 
If the querulous heart would wake it I

_Ram's Horn: “If you want your 
boy to stay on the farm, don’t make him 
work with the dullest hoe.” 
....Felix Adler : “Marriage is, or 
ought to be, a treaty of peace between 
two sovereigns, man and woman.” 
_Phillips Brooks: “Set yourself 
earnestly to see what you were made to 
do, and then set yourself earnestly to 
do it.”. 
....Lend a Hand: “The theological 
student does not fight for his education 
as the law student and the medical 
student fight for theirs, and many poor 
men drift in because they can so easily 
make their way.” 
_Harper’s Bazar : “ Many a woman 
who thinks during her married life that 
she has all the rights she wants, takes 
a very different view of the matter when 
she is left a widow, when she finds her 
little property unfairly taxed because 
she has no vote, when she learns that 
for precisely the same labor as a man 
she i-eceives but half the pay.”

the system, lowers the vitality and de¬ 
creases the power of resistance against 
colds and chills. Many people are feeling 
weak and shivery just now. They com¬ 
plain of cold hands and feet. Their blood 
doesn’t circulate properly; the raw, bleak 
air seems to go right through them. 
Others feel worn out and lack vigor. 
They are bilious, nervous, have back¬ 
aches, headaches, and a pale, sallow com¬ 
plexion. All these symptoms indicate 
that the liver and kidneys are out of order. 
Feeble circulation of the blood shows that 
the system is in a very low condition. 
People who feel like this, are Dicing some 
dangers they little suspect. 
LOOK OUT 
for pneumonia, influenza or some other 
dangerous complaint when you are in 
this state ! 
If you have any of these symptoms and 
are not feeling so well as you ought to 
feel, do not wait until you are laid up with 
a serious illness. Act at once. Take 
something that will build up the system, 
put the blood in healthful motion and act 
on the liver and kidneys. Prevention is 
better than cure. 
There is only one way to get well. There 
is only one remedy that can make you 
well. The remedy you need is Warner’s 
Safe Cure which is recommended and pre¬ 
scribed by physicians throughout the 
world. This great remedy contains the 
vital principle essential to the main¬ 
tenance of health and strength. It in¬ 
creases the muscular energy, fortifies the 
system and builds up every part of the 
body. It has never been equaled as a cure 
for liver and kidney complaint, bladder 
trouble or Bright’s disease. It is the great 
standard remedy, the best remedy, the 
most reliable remedy known to medical 
science. Every one who has ever tried it, 
believes in it. 
If your health needs attention, do not 
experiment with inferior remedies. It is 
cheaper and wiser to take a remedy that 
has earned a world-wide reputation, 
which has stood the test of years, and 
has proved, in millions of cases, that it 
can always be depended upon to relieve 
and cure.
