A BATCH OF DON’TS. 
D ON'T look for slights. 
Don’t speak when angry. 
Don’t neglect the finger nails, or make 
excuses. 
Don’t forget to respect the rights of 
children, and don’t kiss anybody if you 
use tobacco. 
Don’t neglect the sick in your neigh¬ 
borhood. 
Don’t sit down in the afternoon with 
soiled dress or disorderly hair. 
Don’t use your apron to wipe your 
nose, take pies from the oven, or dust 
the furniture. 
Don’t make disagreeable noises such 
as clearing the throat, drumming with 
hands or feet, smacking, grating the 
teeth, belching wind, or humming. 
Don’t continually nod the head or say, 
“ uh huh,” every 10 seconds when peo¬ 
ple are talking to you. 
Don’t neglect to lay by something for 
a rainy day. Your neighbors will not 
love you better for having to support 
you in the county house by and by. 
Don’t overload the stomach. It will 
make you stupid, sallow and cross. 
Don’t Deglect home duties for fancied 
duties abroad. 
Don't grumble ; no one enjoys hearing 
you. 
Don’t exaggerate, and don’t rehearse 
family failings to a neighbor. 
Don’t repeat anything bad about any¬ 
body, no matter how true it is.

6687. Ladies Louis XV. Jacket Basque 
Black velvet, creamy satin, jet em¬ 
broidery and ostrich-feather ruching, 
C6S7—LADIES’ LOUIS XV. JACKET 
entered into the composition of this 
stylish coat basque, a jabot of rich lace 
being arranged to fall softly in front. 
The jacket fronts extend considerably 
below the waist line. The revers are 
graduated at the waist line, widening to 
the lower edge of the jacket fronts, the 
notched collar meeting in a seam at the 
back. Pattern No. 6687 is cut in sizes 
for 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 inches bust 
measure. 
Vat.ue of Education. —Some people 
take it for granted that, because a 
woman learns something outside of the 
kitchen and nursery, she is unfitted for 
the duties, privileges and pleasures of 
domestic life, says the New York Ledger. 
It seems never to have dawned on these 
one-sided and strabismic intellects, that 
the more intelligent a woman is, the 
better she is educated and the more com¬ 
prehensive her mind, the better qualified 
she is for all of the possibilities of her 
future. Has she dabbled in medical 
science, she will be the better able to 
carry her babies safely through that 
trying period known as the second sum- 
MOTHERS .—Be sure to use “Mrs. Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup ” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best.— Adv. 
mer. She will know what to do for 
them in emergencies, and may save life 
that would be jeopardized by bad man¬ 
agement before the doctor could get 
there. Has she taken a course in chemis¬ 
try, she will know that certain sub¬ 
stances are wholesome, and will be less 
likely to make the mistake of combining 
dangerous articles to set before her 
household. She will know what ingre¬ 
dients to put together to produce a given 
result, and will be able to manage the 
health and sanitation of her dwelling so 
as to avoid illness, and decrease the 
dangers of contagious diseases or epi¬ 
demics. 
PRINTED PATCHWORK. 
If life were only what a man 
Thinks daily of—his little care ; 
His petty ill ; his trivial plan ; 
His sordid scheme to horde and spare ; 
His meagre ministry ; his small 
Unequal strength to breast the stream ; 
His large regret—repentance small ; 
His poor, unrealized dream— 
’Twere scarcely worth a passing nod ; 
Meet it should end where it began. 
But ’tis not so. Life is what God 
Is daily thinking of for man. 
—Julie M. Lippman in Harper's. 
... .Alan Dale : “ Art has more sins to 
answer for than villainy or vice.” 
... .Phillips Brooks : “Makeyour most 
simple act complete ; do your most com¬ 
mon daily duty from its divinest motive, 
and what a change will come ! 
_Prof. Frank Parsons in The Arena: 
“ It should always be an object of solici¬ 
tude with tlie statesman to add to the 
advantages of country life, so as to 
counteract, as far as possible, the ten¬ 
dency to overcrowd the cities.” 
....Haryot Holt Cahoon : “We are 
rapidly swinging into a cycle in which 
things are esteemed for their utility, 
and not for ornament, when the active 
woman seeking to be of use in the world, 
is esteemed for her usefulness ; when 
individuality takes higher rank than 
social position, when nobility of purpose 
supersedes nobility of birth.”

Sarsaparilla 
Sense. 
Any sarsaparilla is sarsapa¬ 
rilla. True. So any tea is tea. 
So any flour is flour. But grades 
differ. You want the best. It’s 
so with sarsaparilla. There are 
grades. You want the best. If 
you understood sarsaparilla as 
well as you do tea and flour it 
would be easy to determine. 
But you don’t. How should 
you? When you are going to 
buy a commodity whose value 
you don’t know, you pick out 
an old established house to 
trade with, and trust their ex¬ 
perience and reputation. Do so 
when buying sarsaparilla. 
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has been 
on the market 50 years. Your 
grandfather used Ayer’s. It is 
a reputable medicine. There 
are many Sarsaparillas — 
hut only one Ayer’s. It 
cures. 
Good merchants find out 
that it pays to sell Macbeth 
lamp-chimneys because they 
make friends. 
But look out for the one 
that is made for your lamp.
