printed page are not the only ones
that He before you now; these con
nlngs are but discipline for the mind,
to clear and strengthen' it, for the les
sons of life coming to you with the
later" years, and t much of your future
success depends upon how you do these
lessons now in the schoolroom. It
is claimed that the main difference be
tween success, and failure lies in the
amount of energy and promptness each
one brings to whatever work he may
find to do. This element of success,
or the lack of it, begins to show in
the earliest years of the child's life,
and if taken in the -beginning, much
may be done to put into action the
forces that go to build up the char
acter of the adult How often do we
hear the child say, when bidden to do
some little task, "Wait a minute;" or
"I'm not ready to do it yet," and the
putting off or procrastination grows
into a habit which leaves the youth
seldom ready to accept the oppor
tunity, or take the advantage offered
him; bye-and-byo, he gets to be a
man, and he lets occasion and op
portunity drift by him, because he has
never learned to do promptly and
earnestly the task offered him. He
"always has bad luck," is always won
dering and complaining about his hard
fortune, and never seems to realize
that it is just because of this habit of
never being ready, and having to take
whatever he can get, or do without,
and, consequently doing his work: in
a half-hearted, indifferent manner,
which marks him for the first, when
any discharges are given out
I wish you vould think of this,
and ask yourselves if you are doing
the best you can to make a success
of yourself. One of our best writers
has said: "Success of the real kind
is always in the man who wins, not
in the conditions; no man ever suc-

ceeds by accident; ao great things are
ovor done by chance, and to win any
thing worth having, a man or woman
must pay for it in character, work
and energy. Men fail, as a rule, be
cause they will not pay tho price of tho
thing thoy want; thoy are not willing
to work hard enough, enduro enough,
or put themselves heartily enough into
what they are doing to insure success.
Tho only road to advancement is to
do tho work In hand so well'that you
are always ahead of the demands or
your position, and let your work push
you into a higher grade. If you aro
ready for the call when it comes, tho
opportunity is yours, and you can
not reach success if your hands are
tied to the beginning becauso of your
habit of putting off, or doing poorly.
Our employers do not decido whether
we shall stay where we are, or go on
up; wo decide tho matter for our
selves. We should do our work so
well that we cannot bo kept back;
men who employ aro looking for tho
best, and the best can only bo reached
through earnest endeavor, and a doing
promptly and well whatever comes to
us to ao. Tho habit of instant obedi
ence and prompt execution is worth
more than money to tho one who hopes
to win in tho field of the world."
Apple Jelly
Take nice, juicy apples, remove tho
blossom end, wash and quarter, but
do not core; add enough cold water to
tho fruit to just cover it, and stew in
a porcelain vessel until thoroughly
soft. Havo ready a thin, strong cloth,
tied loosely over an earthen jar, pour
the cooked apple Into this and lot
drain. When it ceases to drip, meas
ure juice, allowing three-fourths pint
of sugar to every pint of juice, and boil
the juice ten minutes from the first
commencing to boil; skim well and
put the sugar in, then boil ten minutes
longer and skim again. Just before
it Is done add the strained juice of
one lemon to each quart of jelly. Sot
the jelly glass on a folded wet cloth,
fill and let stand until perfectly cold,
pour over the top one-fourth Inch
melted (not hot) paraffin to exclude
tho air; cover and keep in cool, dry
place.
Women In Journalism
The woman journalist, or "news
paper woman," as she likes to be
called, is now so well known as a
toller in the realm of woman's work
that she and her arduous occupation
have ceased to be a novelty. In the
days, not so many years ago, when
all newspaper work wadone by men,
tho idea of sending a woman reporter
out upon an "assignment," especially
at night, or when tho "story" to be
looked, up involved any unusual ef
fort on the part of the reporter, would
not have been considered feasable by
any city or managing editor. But so
well has she proven her ability for the
work that there is today no metro
politan paper of any prominence but
what counts a number of women upon
its reportorial staff. The path which
has led to this result has not been
rose-strewn, by any means; without
exception, tho newspaper woman who
has gained a well-paid position has
earned it by hard, honest work not
always by brilliant writing, for "space
fillers" are not desired in this line of
work. Unless a woman is strong
physically, and makes up her mind to
"suffer all things and endure all
things" for her work's sake, she would
better turn herttentlon to some other
employment.
Many women who cannot write a
satisfactory article themselves are very
good judges of others' work, and such
often find tho right place in the
editorial department, where, in time,
if faithful to the Interests of their em
ployers, they may ise to Important
and well-paid positions on the. staff.
Many women aro given empI6yment m
regular staff writers on tho metropoli
tan dailies and popular magazines,
whilo many others aro cmnlovcd as
occasional contributors only.
in journalism, as in everything else,
thore Is room at tho top; but in moat
instances, patient, painstaking toll
brings but small reward, comnared
with tho effort put forth; but this is
mo case in all classes of work; thoro
is but ono queen bee in a hivo of
workers, and in tho natural ordor of
things, but fow women reach tho top
round of tho ladder of RtiemsH in
Journalism. This fact should neither
uiscourago nor depress, however, for

Your Evonlngs
Tho chilly evenings of tho early
autumn bring us to tho question, How
aro we to spend our evenings? Our
evenings aro the most critical battle
field of our lives that little frlngo
of time between the day of work and
tho night of sleep. With tho most of
us, employer and employed, these hours
are all the time that is absolutely our
own; what you do with your day is
decided in advance, but by a separate
decision, each evening must bo taken
care of. They aro a test of your power
of self-direction, as well as of your
tastes and wishes; temptationa are rifo
and brazen and persistent in tho even
ing, especially with the young. What
are you going to do with these sparo
hours? How shall they bear witness
for or against you, in the records of
time? Can you not write to me, giv
ing suggestions as to what should bo
done with them, that I may give your
plans to others?
For tho Complexion
In every case of a poor complexion,
the feet require special attention. Soap,
hot water and friction should bo ap
plied to them daily. Many pay at
tention to tho face solely, and by con
stant washing and friction open tho
pores there to tho neglect of othor
parts of tho body. The result is that
the face affords almost the only outlet
of escape to clogging sebacccous mat
ter. If the feet were properly attended
to, tho blood and its washings of
waste would be drawn downward.
The face bath is the first and last
with many who suffer from eruptions
of tho skin, yet many who bathe tho
Dooy daily aro physically Unclean ;
the surface is washed, yet tho depths
are undisturbed. Nothing short of
warm water, pure soap and consider
able friction with the turkish towel
or flesh brush will render ono hygion
Ically clean. Hard water should not
be used on the face; a pure soap, flan
nel wash cloth and considerable rub
bing, followed by a thorough rinsincr
In clean cool water after which the
face should bo patted dry with a soft,
absorbent towel, will do wonders. This
cleansing should be done at night,
just before retiring, and after this face
bath some simple emmollent may be
used, in order to preserve and soften
the skin.
It Is physiologically criminal to eat
when nature hangs put her dangor sig
nal in the form of a sick headacne, fer
mentation, constipation and kindred
ills. A day's fast, or two, or three,
will often work wonders m tho way
of eliminating noxious waste, and it
Is well If the fast be broken only by
copious water drinking, either hot or
cold as the system seems to demand,
if the water alone is distasteful, as it
is to many people, the juice of a lemon
or orange, or both mixed, taken in a
glass of water, without sugar, will
help to purify the blood. A breakfast
of fruit alone is often very beneficial,
but many who suffer from stomach de
rangements can not lake the iult
without further stomach trouble, and
such should dopend on tho water diet
alono for tho aid it will surely bring.

Provoking- One's Children
Many well-meaning pnrents "provoke
their children to wrath" without at
all moaning to do so; they do not real
izo that, by unreasonable commands,
porpotual restrictions, capricious jerks
at tho brldlo alternating with a ca
pricious dropping of tho rclna alto
gether, or by not governing their own
tempers, by shrill or atom tones whero
soft quiet onos would do, by frequent
checks and unadvlsable rebukes and
withholding moritod praise, thoy in
duco the bursts of temper or sullen
refusal to oboy for which tho parent
is guilty, but tho child is punished. A
sense of injustlco fills tho heart of
tho child, and a rankling sense of In
justlco leads very often to a reckless
ness. The child becomes discouraged,
and when ono "loses heart," there will
bo no moro obedience Many a father
drives his son to ovil by kcoplng him
at a dlstanco Instead of making of
him a companion and playmate. Many
a mother loses tho confidence of her
young daughtor by treating her loving
littlo confldlngs with Indifference or
ridicule.
