LOAFING A FINE ART ACCOMPLISHMENT HARD TO ONE NOT BORN TO IT. Everyone Should Set Apart Some Time for Absolute Relaxation—le Woman’s Secret of Peren nial Youth. Most of us need a spell of loafing now and then, but few of us know how to loaf. Indeed I don’t think it would be at all a bad idea to hold classes In loafing all over this hus tling country of ours, says a writer in the Rehoboth Sunday Herald. It comes so hard to any one who isn't born a loafer—-and the born loafer doesn’t count. He exaggerates what should be a recreation, and occasion al indulgence, into a habit, thereby spoiling both life and loaf, and Inci dentally throwing an excellent thing into bad repute. No one who wouldn’t rather work than loaf is in actual need of loafing, but there are < really few of us who don't prefer working at something, useful or useless, to doing nothing. And he or she who loves work most requires to learn loafing. You can’t loaf properly if you are worrying over negected work or an ticipated work to come. You must be gin to loaf in your mind first of all, letting it work from inside out, until you are loafing all over. Just sitting around and not working isn’t loafing. I have seen a woman waiting in the reception room of an office till her turn came to go in to the hallowed precincts beyond, sitting there tense with work, thrashing things over, quivering with impatience, wearing herself out to no purpose at all. Now, if she had studied the art of loafing, she would have had a fine, refreshing half hour and enjoyed herself thor oughly besides. TV ucu /UU lutu JUU 111UOl ye uueu with a sense of utter peace, a com plete escape from the least notion of labor of any sort, a deep content in the large leisure of the hour. No faintest desire to “make time pass” must be allowed an entrance. “Loaf and invite your soul,” goes the say ing, but it is rather your soul that in vites you. It takes you into the re gions of eternity, where time is not, and gives you splendid idle dreams and surrounds you with vast spaces. What good is there in that? Hard ly one American woman gets enough of it. We may be idle, many of us, but we don't know how to loaf. Yet loafing of the right sort creates a calm of the spirit, a composure of the body, eminently good for us. Into -our crowded, nervous lives it breathes sweetly, as might the piping of a shepherd from vaflished Arcady. A spell of loafing will take the knots and snarls out of your nervous sys tem as nothing else can. It will soothe your irritability and restore your equi librium. A woman who cultivates the art of loafing as one of her possessions will be mistress of the secret of peren nial youth. Even when she Is work ing her hardest the soothing influence of her just loafing indulgence will ex tend its balm over her, keeping off the fidgets, giving her a sense of breadth and ease. You can loaf but five minutes or five months, according to circum stances and necessity. It isn’t a ques tion of time, but a state of being. But acquire the power to do it when you need it, and life will be a' brighter thing to you. Turtle’s Long Sleep. The cold-blooded creatures hiber nate. Snakes knot themselves up un der a log or rock; toads, wood frogs and tortoises push down in the soft earth; mud turtles and water frogs bury themselves in the bottom ol shallow streams and ponds. They all sleep until hunger wakes them, and the first thing they do in the spring is to hunt for a good meal. If you want to see something hiber nate it is easy to keep a box .ortoise or a water turtle all winter in a box of earth and moss with a pan of water at one side. Before they go to sleep don’t forget to feed them every two or three days bits of raw meat or earthworms. They do not care to eat every day and are able to go a long time without food. A box tortoise which a boy has had in the bouse for two years went to sleep the first- winter just as though he were out in the cold, but the sec ond winter he only took short naps and had become so tame he wpuld eat out of the hand.—From the Church man. He Was From the Wooly West. He was a tall, lanky individual, with his straight-brimmed felt hat pulled well down over his eyes. He leaned against the counter of a confectionery shop, and when a clerk approached him he ordered “angel food." "We have nothing like that here,” the girl told him. “Well, then," he said, “let me have a" chocolate walnut float.” The clerk said she guessed It was a •sundae” he wanted, and the tall man, remembering, said he believed that was what they-were called. "I would rather have ‘angel food,’ though,” he added. The girl behind the counter grinned. "Where do you come from?” she asked, pleasantly. “From the wooly west,” was the startling reply.

Loup City i>-— - . .a WON BY WOMAN’S WIT CUNNING DECIDES CONTEST FOR HAND OF BEAUTY. Father Chose Among Many Suitors for His Daughter, but the Girl Her* eelf Took Hand in Final Selection. There was, once upon a time, a Sen egal tailor, who had a daughter as dazzling as the sun. All the youths in the neighborhood were In love with her beauty, and two of them went to her and asked for her hand. The girl, like a well-trained daughter, made them no answer, but called her father, who listened to them and said: "It is late; go home, and come again omorrow. I will tell you then which of. you shall hare’my daughter.” • At daybreak the next morning the young men were .at his door. "Here we are,” they cried; “remem her what you promised us yesterday.” “Wait,” said the tailor; “I must go out and buy a piece of cloth; when I return you will bear what I expect you to do." He soon returned, and calling his daughter said to the young men; "My sons, there are two of you, and i have but one daughter. I cannot give ber to both of you and must refuse one. You see this piece of cloth? ! will cut from it two pairs of breeches >.xactly alike; each of you ahall make me of them, and the one that finishes irst shall be my son-in-law.” Each of the rivals took his task and prepared to set to work under the .ailor's eyes. The latter eaid to his laughter: "Here Is thread; you oan thread the needles’ for the workmen.” The girl obeyed; she took the spool ind sat down by the youths. But the iretty witch was full of cunning; her 'ather did not know which one she !oved, neither did the young men, but, or her part, she knew very well. The tailor went out, the girl threaded the needles, and her suitors set to work. But to the one she loved she gave thort needlefuls, while she gave long needlefuls to his rival. Both sewed zealously; at eleven o’clock the work was scarcely half done, but at three in the afternoon the young man uith the short needlefuls bad finished hiB task, while the other was far behind. When the tailor returned the victor carried in the finished breeches. His ’ival was still sewing. "My children," said the father, "1 lid not wish to show any partiality be tween you, for which reason I divided he cloth into two equal parts and ?ave each a fair chance. Are you sat isfied?” “Perfectly,” answered they. "We understood your meaning and accept ed the trial; what is to be will be!” But the tailor had reasoned to him self: "He who finishes his task first will be the better workman, and con sequently the better fitted to support his household.” It did not occur to him that his daughter might outwit him by giving the longer needlefuls to the one she did not wish to win. Wom an’s wit decided the contest, and the girl chose her husband herself.—Alice Bonner’s "Twice-Told Fairy Tales,’* in Atlanta Journal. Co-operative Home Making. The most successful families are the ones in which each child has some definite duty in the daily household routine; not a drudging obligation, but a contribution to the general comfort of the family. It is not so much the actual task that is of value, it is the spirit which It fosters. Too may fill lamps with revolt in your soul, if it is merely a horrid chore to be got through with. But you may fill lamps with Joy in your heart, if you feel that you. too, are doing something for the home. It is the mother’s privilege to present that point of view.—Home Progress Magazine.
