The Study of Household Sclenoe ft Help to Proper Manaffeiiiont. It is woman's province to control ani manage the household. Whether she does it wisely or unwisely rests with herself.

No one else can absolutely fill her place. She should, therefore, study the phases of home affairs, with the same application'and assiduity that she would give to a difficult problem, which may require weeks, months, even years, to work out, but which in the end must be solved.

It may distract the attention of those who suffer from headache to learn that in early English days there were remedies Vfor headache, and for cold headache, and for ache of half the head." "Eye work and the fiend's temptations" are also mentioned in this catalogue.

Ache of half the head, or hemi-crania, from which George Eliot suffered so much, has been considered a distinctively modern disease, but there is nothing new. Boston Journal.

THE RAND EST CONFEDERATION ON cept among some in the cultured classes, is not general to-day. I da not maintain that the study of household science will enable woman to do all this, but such study will help greatly, perhaps more than anything else, toward that end.

It is one of the important factors in that result, and, if for no other reason than that it will make life for women in the performance of their household duties pleas-, anter, more satisfactory, sweeter, easier, it is more than worth trying. To work in the dark is ever perplexing; to work in the light of intelligent understanding Is one form of happiness. The study of houshold science, taken in its full and broad sense, leads into boundless fields- of research. The phenomenon of heat, the currents ot the air, the life and chemical nature of the products of the earth, the mysterious and complex processes of nutrition, fall almost without mention Into such work; the sciences of chemistry, physiology, and bacteriology are its foundation stones; in fact, whatever bears upon the physical life of man is included in it Miss M.

"This reminds me of another match. Did you ever travel on "one of those branch-line, Independent, go-as-you-please southern railways? I did once, and the monotony was varied by a lovely incident As we waited for the conductor at a station (he had stopped off to visit his family) a young couple came aboard in a hurry. Before long we learned that they had eloped and were bound for Gretna Green just across the state line, where the law didn't call for a license and other delays in marrying. They were greatly frustrated because the irate parent was -in pursuit. JBut fi nally the train got away withoilt the parent appearing.

Finally the state line was passed and the long-desired town reached, and as we all alighted who do you suppose appeared? None other than the "irate parent. His patient mule had gone ahead, beaten the train, and there he stood (the parent, not the mule), a conquering hero, ready to intercept the two. We found he'd been waiting nearly thirty minutes." V'But, doctor," interrupted a listener, "why didn't you perform the ceremony on the train when you reached the state line?" "I did," said the doctor, quietly. "That was the joke on the parent."

of Wells. Early northern Christianity tried to put down well worship without much success. Very recently, if not now, wells in Derbyshire were 'dressed" with flowers on a certain day and a rustic merry-making followed. All this would have been "idolatry" in the eyes of King Egbert or of St. Cummin, who died in 669 A.

and the practice really is a relic of "Gentilism," as Aubrey calls it- King Egbert imposed three years of penance on people who kept wakes at wells; so did St. Cummin. But whereas the wake was originally hallowed to the well itself or to its presiding naiad, in latter times the wells were sacred to saints and the wake or nocturnal festival went on merrily. There is a little lochan near the Naver, whither the country people still gather or very lately were used to gather and hold a wake on a certain night in summer. The consequent frivolities have been obnoxious to the kirk as well as to the church.

The ancient religion "proved an excuse for a glass," or a lass, or both, and all forms of festive religion are difficult to reform out of existence. The mass was easily 'stamped out" in Scotland, but the repression of Robin Hood's sames nearly caused a revolt On the train were the returning westerners who got left, vociferating against Hoke Smith, one of them ing that the Territory was full of sooner from Georgia, all of them with booth certificates; when, finally an.old fellow with long hair and. a. broad brimmed sombrero, unable to stand it longer, straightened up, exe lairaing 'How do you know, suh, that these sooners were southerners, suh, and trom jawgie, suh?"

SELLS BROTHERS BIG 3-RING CIRCUS, 50-CAQE MENAGERIE, ETC, This great show is booked for Wellington on October 4, and regarded as a whole, it is doubtless without parallel.

Wherein it differs from others is this; in its rare variety! it endless interest its boundless capacity to please every taste. Good things with it are not doled out with a grudging band; they are poured forth with a Niagara-like profusion, typical of the great country of greatest enterprises. Here we have a regal Roman Hippodrome, a Five-Continent Menagerie, Three Big Circuses, a Wild Moorish Caravan, performing droves of Wild and Domestic Beasts, a huge Tropical Aviary, Royal Japanese Troupe, Arabian Nights Euter tain-Spectacular Pilgrimage to Mecca, and Splendid Free Street Parade, rolled into one tremendous alliance, foi but one price of admission; or, more properly speaking, roaring, rushing, racing, marching, dancing gliding, tumbling, soaring, diving and disporting under some ten acres of tents. Whew! the very thought of it fairly makes one catch his breath. And not only is it a very great, but it is very good, clean, admirably managed show, under the immediate eye of its proprietors, and free from any and every annoyance or objectional association.

Had Artimus Ward lived to see such an exhibition, he would not have wondered why it always took three grown-up persons to take one child to a but would have Increased the number to at least a score.

Item: If well-to-do, a sleeveless buttoned vest. Item: Real "bags," to adopt our young hunting swell's terms, for trousers. Sartorially speaking, these are made of cotton, and are literally like a bacr, whose depth is equal to a little more than the disfance from the waist to knee, and whose width equals thrice the distance a man can stretch apart his legs. Cut out the two corners of the bottom of the step through the holes, and gather up the mouth round the waist, and you have the pants du pays. There is thus left pendent between Arab's legs a bag big enough to hide nimself in.
