One very potent reason is that the average woman has all she Is able to do to attend the wants of her home and family, Tvhile tne above-the-average .woman might employ her ex tra ability in the amplification of the same "sphere. ' Few women have more ihysical or mental strength than the need of her family calls for, and the f-uties demanded of her in those lines absorb all her energies, and exhaust her nerve forces. But there are circumstances which render it obligatory on "the wife to ao what she can toward the family fi nances. These circumstances may arise from shiftlessness, incompet ency, illness or misfortune of the rightful purveyor, and there may be no alternative other than that the wife and mother shall take up the bur den of the family support, or the fam ily suffer great discomfort, and per haps absolute want, in consequence. These questions should be settled inside the family, as no outsider is competent to judge of the necessities which may lead to such a condition of things. In the relations of man and wife, it is of course best for all that the husband be the providerthe wife having quite as much as she is able to do to look after the household af fairs, and her work being fully as arduous as-his, she should not be ex pected, or' attempt of her own free will, to add wage-earning to her al leady heavy toil. Where necessity compels, a woman deserves great credit for trying to "keep matters moving," by lifting the burden on her own shoulders, but more often than not, the consequences of trying to do double duty is dis astrous to the health of the woman, and, unhappily, there are "men who are. perfectly willing to allow tho wife to pull tho load" oven after tho neces sity for it Is removed. When there are daughters in tho family old enough to relieve the mother of tho housekeeping, and tho wage of tho father is insufficient for the many demands, tho wife Is per fectly right in using her spare time, if she chooses, in helping out tho fam ily expenses; and there are many ways in which this may be done with out in the least affecting disagreeably the comfort of the home life. It is often best that the mother, rather than the daughter, -mould be come the wage-earner, as, in that case, the daughter max learn housekeep ing, and get an inside knowledge of homely duties which reliance upon her own resources will teach her as nothing else can. The elder, experi enced woman can fill safely many po sitions which might, to say fho least, subject the daughter to annoyance, and, at the same time givo to her daughter's housekeeping lessons a valuable oversight. The question, however, is one which every woman must settle for herself. A self-respecting, self-reliant woman need be ashamed of nothing th.at Is right and honorable.

We are told that every good deed brings its own reward, and if wo pause to think of it, wo find the saying is a true one. Every good deed, ev ery kindly thought sent out to an other brings one of its kindred home ' to roost" with it. The little act of courtesy, so small that we are scarce ly conscious of doing it, makes not only ourselves, but the world better lor its birth. By these little, scarce ly noticed kindnesses we are paving the way, disciplining ourselves lor the. greater acts of self-denial It may be sacrifice which, at soma ttmo or an-' other, must enter into the lives of each of us. Step by step, we are thus being led up the heights, where, in time, we shall reach the power to 'love our neighbor as ourself." O O By every thought and act, we are building for tomorrow. If we would be happy tomorrow, we must set about creating the necessary tomor row conditions by making the best use of today, and there is no way of doing this so surely as by helping to make the world about us as happy as we can. We must fight out of our lives all hatred, envy, jealousies, repinings and complainings. We must not allow the clouds to obscure our vision. De termine that you are happy and thankful and grateful not that you will be, IF, hlit that you are, and re fuse to harbor a suspicion that you are not. Believe the best you can of everybody, and do not allow any one to make you doubt them. Do not listen to any tale-bearing of a harm ful nature. O O There is nothing that so quickly breaks down one's happiness, and even self-respect, as the admission in to the soul of afeeling of envy. Wby should you envy any one? The dear Lord gives you just the work he wants you to do just the discipline you need to fit you for the task assigned you. If you will but accept it as such, seeking to read the lesson it contains, you will find that the exercise of your faith and the earnest performance of your work will give you just the strength and growth needed to en able you to reach the heights of ycur Ideal. Bring yourself to be glad for the success of another, even though, at first thought, you may be tempted to indulge in ill-natured envy. If you find yourself indulging in such feel ings, turn at once to your mirror and see the ugly lines the emotion . ni ;' y '- DR. J. W. BLOSS'ER. 1 i i ' I , ft f t s h n ) A . ,. A W t t'.Xit'tJt Dr. Blosser has for .many years made the treatment of catarrh r special and constant study. Ho has demonstrated that tho usual treatment with sprays, douches, snuffs, oint ments and tho ordinary inhalers, cannot pos sibly be applied so as to reach all the diseased parts, so that even if thoy were composed of curative Ingredients thoy could not cure. Neither can the blood bo made so pure that a deep seated old chronic catarrh will get well without local treatment applied directly and thoroughly to tho ulcerated surfaces. An old catarrh, with its foul dischargo and burrowing microbes, will continue to eat its way into tho tissues in spite of all the blood remedies that the sufferer can swallow. You had as well try to cure tlic corns on your toes by swallowing calomel, as to try to cure chronic catarrh by medicine tliat U taken into the stomach. , ., , AX Catarrh begins as a local disease In the mu cous membrane of tho noso and head, and this is always the home and stronghold of the dis ease, and it is there that tho battle for its exter mination must bo fought by medication that can bo applied directly to the disease. This is tho way that Dr. Mosser'fl Catarrh Cure eradi- makes upon your face Tell yourself that you are glad; tell it so often and so emphatically that you will compel yourself to believe it, and you will thus open in your heart a well-spring of joy and a source of nappiness that will surely bring you reward. C O In this seeking after the happiness of those about you, you will insure your own. But, through it all you must not lose sight of the fact that .,, wnrlr f fin. While flght- ing envy and malice and jealousies and hatred out of your own life, you must not forget that you are a living witness of tho faith you would up hold and you must strive to make of our life something so safe and strong that you shall draw others after you, not to -their undoing, but to tho straight and narrow way that leadcth forever upward, even into the pres ence of the In3nite. You cannot ac-! complish this by sitting down with folded hands: "Blessed are they that do His commandments, and one of, the strongest of these is "That ye love ' one another." ' On January 6 Secretary of the In-; terlor Hitchcock recommended to the J president that the office of railroad commissioner held by the late Gen-; eral James Longstreet be abolished.! It seems probable now that the rec-. ommendation will be adopted, as the duties of the office practically have, been absorbed by the interstate com merce commission. catcs the disease.
