It Is good to know you arc so deeply Interested In your home; and that you have started your married life with such an Ideal In stead of wasting the first year In a hotel or boarding house, or on the dangerous Bohe mian style of living, so often popular with young mar ried women. Home Is my Idea .of the ante-room to' heaven, and should be patterned on that plan. You say your homo Is tiny, but that Is all the better (or a beginning. There Is so much to think about In home making, and If you learn to have perfect details and to keep perfect order In a small homo. It will become a simple matter for you to carry out the same system when your abode enlarges. You are ho pleasing to look upon that It will be like a jewel In a box, If you mako your little house pretty In every department. I know you have great tasto In colors, and that everywhere your curtains ami rugs and walls nnd draporles will bo beautiful In tone, and there will bo no' clashing or glaring colors. And I can Imagine the happiness of your husband when he comes home and sees you tastefully garbed waiting him in your pretty room. Remember the need of a man for a room all his own. Arrange such space for him even at the sacrifice of some luxuries you might enjoy otherwise An English woman writing about American homes Justly criticised thorn for this very lack; and the correspond ing lack In the heart of tho wife, who did not realize tho fact that every .nan on earth wanted a room which was all his own. One Into which no other per son entered unless Invited as a guest. One where he could sit quite u'ndlsturbtd and be alone If the mood for solitude or a quiet smoke seized him. And be auro If such a mood seize your man, to leave him to its enjoymont; und do not Imagine he has ceased to love you, because he may like to read nts paper there or smoke his cigar or take a nap, maybe, alone by himself. I hope your little domain has a pleasant kitchen and maids' room. If this part of tho house has been neglected by the architect, try to brighten it as much as possible In your treatm?nt of It. For when you think ot the Im portant part a good domestic plays In a home, It should seem an Important thing to give her as much comfort and con venience as possible, and to give her Men Welcome Mother's Friend A Duty that Every Man Owes to Thoso who Perpetuate the Race. It is just as Important that men should know of progressive methods in advance of motherhood. The suffering, pain and dis tress Incident to child-bearing can be easily avoided by hiring at hand a bottle of QJotfcir'a Friend. This la a wonderful, penetrating, exter nal application that relieves all tenaton upon the musteles and enables them to expand without tht painful strain upon the Hp; tnents. Thus there la avoided all those nrr tous spells j the tendency to nausea or morn ing sickness Is counteracted, and a bright, sunny, happy disposition Is preserved that reflects wonderfully upon the character and temperament of the little one soon to open Its eyes In bewilderment at the joy ot bis arrival. You can obtain a bottle of "Mother's Wend" at any drug store at 1.00, and It will be the best dollar's worth you ever obtained. It preserves the moth er's health, enables her to make a quick and complete recovery, and thus with re newed atreogth she will eagerly devote herself to the care and attention which mean so much to the welfare of the child.

Get & bottle ot lloth r s Friend to-day. to Be Married a Bride pretty and attractive things to please her rye and train her taste to an understand ing of beauty. If your husband belongs to a club make tho hours of his going and coming jh pleasant as he was accustomed to find them when a bachelor. Before ho mar ried you, quite possibly he guvo up many club evenings to be with you; but now that ho lias you all the time. It Is quite natural ho should want to bo with Ins men friends occasionally. Do not play tho martyr or act the rolo of the neglected wife. It would be well If you Jolnod a club of your own; and If you are musical It would bo wise to arrange a little evening of music at home the night ho goes to his club or lodge. Nothing keeps a man more Intercsl'-d in a woman that the knowledgo that she can Interest herself, and that she can call about her an agreeable circle Instead of sitting at homo moping. Tako up somo study early In your mar ried life. Your husband Is n wide-awake man anil In touch with the outer world, and you must keep abreast of tho times. Learn i new language or pursue some linn of reading natural history would be fxcellent for when your babies come fas I hope they will) all you learn In this mutter will be of Inestlmablo value to them. The mother who can begin in the small years of her boy's life to tell him the beautiful nnd interesting things about bird and insect nnd animal life will never find him wanting to bo a killer of dumb things. Such a mother was startled recently by having her llttlo boy say, "Mother, I want to go hunting birds." Then ne added, "Please buy mo a camera; I want to hunt with a camera.:, and take pic tures of my little friends myself." Watch yourself after the honeymoon wanes", to see that you do not grow care less In regard to your personal appear ance. Some brides fado with the wedding finery; and lose all Interest In appearing attractive because they feel they have attained their goal; they nre married; and settled; and there Is nothing else to work for. But to win Is ofttimcs easier than to keep what we win. Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Tho (Slrl 1h ItlKlit. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 23 years old and am keeping company with a young lady three years my Junior. I love this young lady nnd my love is reciprocated. Lately her mother found fault and for bade her entertaining me, causing us to meet on corners. I know I will never care for any other girl and she will never part from me. , . I am heartbroken, as the girl now re fuses to meet me on corners. it Atvi Lit VV Go to the girl's mother, Insist on know ing her objections, and give her every as surance that your Intentions are honor able. If your conduct does not meet her approval, change It. Do not ask the girl to meet you on street corners; that would be gratifying your desire to be with her at the expense ot her reputation for good sense and modesty. Until Were Wronic. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am secretly en gaged to a girl three years my Junior. I am 25 years old. I am deeply in love with her and am sure my love Is reciprocated. While at a party one evening she called another young man pet names, such as "dear" and "darling, oniy in a jone, which, of course, made me feel bad. Later I told her I did not like it. She, In turn, told me that she had only said It In a joke, which I ought to know. That was not It, I tola ner u aia noi nouna nice and If we were openly engaged, waat would the people think? She seems to think I am In the wrong, and when I left her she barely ald good night to -CHARLE3J V HEELER. Her nctlor. was not In good taste and she no doubt feels It and regrets It. But you have placed her in a wiong position by making your engagement secret Let It be known and In future she will confine all terms of affection to you. Not It You Love Htm. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young girl of 19 years and am deeply in lova with a gentleman 20 years my senior. This gen tlemfan calls upon me every evening, and Is always very affectionate. I am engaged to this gentleman and expect to marry him some tlm next month. Do you thing the difference in age Is too great? DOLLY. The difference Is on the right side. If you were 20 years his enlor I would urge you not to marry, him, but the years are so much harder on a woman than on a man that this difference between your age and his will grow less every year. fopyiiRl.t.lMMntNTifittonftl News Service By ELBERT HUBBARD. Copyright,1913, International News Service. Before tho days of Jamlo Watt all manufacturing was done In the homes- The word "wife" means weaver, 'the woman made the fabrics and she mailt the clothes. Man power was tho only power known. The steam en gine revolutionized the business of manufacturing and transferred tho factory from the home to a sepa rata building. With tho aid of tho joint stock company and In creased capital manufacturing be came a business, separate and apart from tho house hold Industries. The Increased demand for food from factory towns sug gested a hotter quality of forming, and so horse-power came In to replace hand power. Farming became a western busi ness. Instead of the hand-reaper, told of In poetry and legend, we had the Inventions of Cyrus MoCormlck and James Oliver. Maud Mullcr wasn't in it. Constantly Increasing, from a machine that roqulred one man to drive and one to rake off the sheaf to bo bound, we had a machine that not only cut, but bound, threshed and bagged at one time. But horse-power was the motor. America has 25,000,000 homes. We havo more horses than any other country In tho world. We have more horses than Germany, England, France nnd Spain combined. Also, the cost of horses today is higher than It has ever been before. Little Bobbie9 s Pa -;- f c?mmu Jf N Far from the City's Uproar By WILLIAM F. KIRK Isn't It grate that we are up In the country for a few weeks, Bed Ma. It sems so good to be away from the mar ot the city & the grocer & the butcner. I haven't felt so peaceful, sed Ma, since before I was married. Jest think: how my dear girl trends will enjoy them selves when they come here tonlte. What girl trends, sed Pa. I hoap It lsent any more of them club wlmmen that used to pester the life out ot me In the city. Well, scd Ma, they arent exactly club wlmmen like the ones you didn't like. but It Is a kind of organlzshun, the name they go by Is The Sisters of Bpring. Onst every week they meet at some trend's home In the' country and talk about the butlcs of nature. It Is my turn to entertain them finite. Ma sed. You will find evry one of them a doer i girl. Pa's face got kind of long rite away. You called all of them other old hens deer girls, Pa sed, & when they came to the house they looked like, the j wlmmen that used to ride air the horses In the old time Circus Parades, all them Hps A cheek bones, Pa sed, I suppoaa this will be a case, sed Pa, of history repeetlng Itself. Not at all, sed Ma. When ypu see the Sisters of Spring you will see some reel tlpes of American luvllness. Some of them Is so pritty, sed Ma, that their husbands la all the time Jealus. Then Pa and me went out to take a little walk & Pa sed to me. Bobble, I feer the wurst Yure mothers Is always a grate descrlber wen she tells about them club wlmmen, but after they git to the house. Pa sed, thay at nt ever a bit like her plans and spe-l-fl-ca-ahuns. I no what they are going to do, Pa sed. They are going to como to the hous and talk all after-noon about spring's first flowers, Jonquils, daffydlla and trailing arbutles. And then Pa sed thay are going to pitch In the dinner and eet all the -nice vegetables that I brought borne yester day to last us all the week. That Is sed Pa, they wood If I wood let them but I have a skeem. Heer is 25 cents which you can use for spending rnuny. I want you to go rite over to Andy Cook's house What the World Needs Most of All There are three processes In civiliza tion. One Is to dig, the next Is to carry and the third Is to manufacture. Wo havo discarded horse-power In the mattor of transportation. The steamboat, the locomotive and tho automobile do our lugging. Hut we are still digging by hand, or with the aid of animal power. Tho man with the hoe and the slanted brow Is simply a man who has been un able to tako advantage of mechanical power In his business. All of his vitality, all of his potential ability to think, goes Into the eternal labor of digging food out of the ground. Janiea Watt applied mechanical powet by the use of steam. Fulton applied the' principle to water transportation. Steph enson Invented the locomotive. Har greaves Invented the spinning Jenny and prnctlcally solved for us the question of manufacturing. But farming is still lagging a hundred years behind, pulled by man-power and animal power. -And the Dukhobors plow with woman poWer, The farmer cannot hope for redemption through electricity, because the farmer's business Is to move around over ft space of perhaps several miles and he must carry his fuel on his back, so to speak. No stationary engine will anower his purpose. The first move In the dlreotlon of using mechanical power on tho farm was when we ceased to uso horses for thrcanlng grain. Tho horse-power, where a dozen horses were driven round and round on a sweep, Is something that all of the graybeards born In the country remember well. The steam traction engine, which threshed for a score or more of farmers, was n great move In the direction of economy and oo-oporatlon. It did the work at ono-half the expense that horses could do It. However. In the neighborhoods where coal was scarce and water was not right at hand, there was a deal of dead lift an' ask him if he will send me over a nice big mess of leeks. So I went over to Mr. Cook's on' got a big pall full of leeks. The bottom of them looks like little onions. Wen I got back to the house all the Sisters of Bpring was there. I took the pall of leeka around to the back door and gave them to Pa. Then I went Into the parlor with Pa & llssened to them talking. How buttful is the days Just before summer sed one of the ladles. Everything seems for to be a-throb an' pulsing with life, she sed. The little Jonquils look up at the blue sky an' seems to revel In the shear Joy of living, and the trailing arbutles trails and trails dreamily, send ing Its sweet fragrance to the stars above Do you think so? sed Pa. I never paid much attenshun to spring, Pa sed excep that I always like April on account of the Polo grounds opening for the seeion. I expeok to see Mattle have one ot his grate years Pa sed. Do you meen to tell me, sed a other of the ladys, that you never roam alone In the forest to sen nachurs carpet I've- decked . with springs farest .flowers. 1 havent been In the woods since I was a little boy sed Pa, oxcep during the hunt ing season. Then a other lady sed, O my deer sir, surely you wud be moar n love with nachur & spring time If you had ever hurd the little poem I rote, a year ago for our local paper. It Isnt very long she sed, so I will reeslte it to you. then she reeclted: I sat upon a mossy log, All springtime spread befoar me The tender crooning of a frog Away in yonder marshy bog, Rose to the heavens o'er me. The little calf, the little colt .Frisked In the pastures green Spring Is the finest time of year Vs mortals ever seen. Pa looked kind of sick after the lady had reeclted her poem & he sed I will leeve you ladys to yourselfs for a while till I go and preepare some of our nicest spring vegetables. My wire will tell you, Pa sexl, that I 'no- moar about cooking vegetables as most chefs. That is rite, sed Ma, he Is a deer, good boy. He does most of the cooking sometimes & washes the dishes always. Pa went out In the kltchun & I had to ttay tn the front of the house with Ma Drawn for TheJBeeJby George McManus and labor In hauling. I have noon two teams ot horscH working steadily, one hauling water and one coul. In order to keep a thresher going. Wood, as a fuel, Is now practically out of the question. Coul Is lioavy, cumber miino and often scarce, (las cannot be transported, and hns other limitations. Gasollno Is volatile, Is affected by tem perature, cannot ho transported In wooden barrels, has to bo stored under ground and Increases fire rll(. Besides, Its cost Is more than double Unit ot kerosene. Kerosene olt seems tho best, cheapest, most easily obtained, most condensed and most valuable fuel known. A pint ot kerosene has more potential power In It than the snmn quantity of dynamite. Dynamite has n, wonderful power to destroy. But a mushroom nan lift Just as much as the same weight ot dynamite, provided you give It time. A lichen growing In the crevice of a rock can split the rock. Keroscno Is nature's own fuel. ' Tho business of searching for oil In the, bowels of the earth, aml pumping it up, Is practically In Its Infancy. All we have endeavored to do, so far, Is to bring up just enough oil to supply our nerds: The problem yet In transportation Is to get an engine that will carry Its fuel on Its buck. Tho smallest quantity ot fuel In point of bulk and weight Is what the world demands. Tho fuel now that gives the quickest results with the least loss Is kerosene. The engine that Ignites kerosene In stantly nnd that liberates Us power so that It Is used at once tills Is the princi ple of the oil engine. The great need Is an oil engine that, In clean combustion, regulation, dura bility, light weight and control, will equal or better the best steam or gas engines. And the next need of this country Is that the government shall at least con ttol tho supply of crude oil, or control the price ot nil petroleum products. and the Sisters of Spring llssenlng to n lot of talk about spring flowers A little trouts sprlligliiK out of bropks &. all kinds of spring stuff. I pretty near went to sleep but Jest then Pa came to the door and sed dinner was ready. When we went In the dinning room thera was a grate big dish full of boiled leeks In the mlddel of tho table & a plato for each of the Bisters of Bpring. Mercl, sed all of the ladys at onct, what kind of vegetable Is that? that In leeks sed Pa, the greatest vegetahle in the world to cleer up the blood and give one a butlful complexshun. I gess the Sisters of Spring thot their complexshuns was butlful onuf, becaus they all held up their nozes and walked out of the dinning room with Ma.

For two longs years I'd labored hard For Mopeyklng & Co.. And tried aa well as I knew how To make the business go. Td asked him often for a raise, His answer was tho same: "If you want to make more money Just try some other game." Twas then I met the darling girl I wanted for my wife; She said she'd glady come to me And stay with me for life. Again I went to Moneyklng And told him what I'd done. He said, "I'll raise your salary now From ten to twenty-one. "The reason why I'm doing this I hope s plain to you. For heretofore you've always left Before your work was through, But now you've got a wife at home, You'll not be on the run, But gladly you will stay right here Until your work la done." The Universe is a Composed Entirely of Vibrations By GARRETT 1. BERVIHS. We live In a world, and Indeed In a universe, composed altogether of vibra tion. If there weui no vibrations there would he no sight, no sound, no touch, no lire, nnn no matter, for what we call "matter" appears to be only an effect of a par ticular kind of mo tion, taking placo In an Imponderable, Invisible, untouch able medium called "ether." Tho ether Is shaken one w a y and a blazing sun shines out; It Is shaken another way and a solid world comes Into ex istence. Other vibrations form animals and plants to Inhabit the world, Still others dissipate them Into apparent nothingness. Everything Is tn a continual flux, passing from form to form, now visible, now Invisible; now solid, now liquid, now vaporous; now nothing at all, as far as we can see. Made up of vibrations, wo possess, while tho atomla combinations of which Wo nre formed persist, the power to per colve yet other vibrations, which tell us all we know of the world and the uni verse about us. Out of the midst of this universal quiver science succeeds In selecting cer tain vibrations, and measuring them. Vibrations from the sun, falling upon the face of nature, come back reflected from a thousand different substances In a thousand different colors, tints nnd shades. They strike upon a rose, and the rose sends bank those that undulato at tho rate of four hundred million-million per second and produce for us the effect of the color red. They fall upon a violet, The Heavens in May By WILLIAM F. RIGttK. The day Increases In length almost an hour during the month, being 13 hours, S2 minutes long on the 1st; 14 hours. 24 minutes on the 1Mb, and 14 hours, CO minutes on the 31st. The sun rises on these dates at 6:25, 6:0ft, 4:66, and sets at 7:17. 7:J2, 7:46. It crosses tho meridian that Is, shows noon on the sun dial at 13:20 or 12:21, standard time, during the wholo month. O.n the 21st It enters Gemini or Tho Twins. Venus Is now morning star and attains Its greatest brilliancy on the 30th, being thep more than thirty-six times as bril liant as a standard star ot the first mag nitude. Mars and Jupiter nre also morning stars, Jupiter crossing the meridian on the 16tli at 4:08, and Mars at 8:1C a, m. Saturn becomes morning star on the lath, and, like Mercury, Is too near the sun to be seen. The moon Is new on the nth, In first quarter on the 13th. full on the 20th, and In last quarter on the 27th. It Is in con junction with Mars on the 2d and 31st, with Venus on the 4th, Saturn on the 7th, nnd with Jupiter on the 23d. The conjunction with Mars on the 2d will be a very close one, and narrowly miss being an occultatlon for Omaha. A rare treat Is In store, the weather permitting, for those that have telescope. Op the 2fith tho planet Jupiter Is scheduled to occult, that Is, to eclipse an eighth magnitude star. The star will disappear at 7 15 p. m . and reappear at 11.67 p. m The disappearance, how ever, will not be visible In Omaha, a Jupiter will rise on that day at 10:51 p, m. HAPPY THO' MARRIED ? There are unhappy married lives, bnt a lexfe percentajo of 'these Babappy homes are due to the ilineis ot the wife, mother or daughter. The (aclbi oi nervousness, the befoed mind, the Ill-temper, the pale and wrinkled face, hollow and circled eyes, result most often from those disorders peculiar to women. For the woman to be happy and food-looking she must naturally have good health.

Sound waves vibrating at the rate o: forty per second glvo us tho Impression of tho lowest note of the pipe organ. Vibrating at the rate of 4,000 per second they produco tho hlgcBt note of the, plo colo. The soul of music dwells between those limits. All above or below s, for us, either silence or mere tiolso. In a fascinating article In the Cosmopo litan Magazine for May you will read o the efforts that Thomas A. Edison la now making to extend our knowledge ot vibrations, Mr. Edlaon Is deaf, as far as ordinary hearing is concerned, bm never theless lie' bus developed a wonderful Power of perceiving sounds that escapi others, and he has becomo so much In terested In music, through tho develop ment of the phonograph, that ho la now enthusiastically at work upon a scliem for the standardization of which, he be lieves, will be to place musical vibra tions, tho result of music, for the first time, upon a scientific basis. But even more Interesting for thosi who love to pepr deep Intu tlie yet un solved mysteries of nature' Is Mr, Edi son's plan to catch, and turn Into sounds perceivable by the human ear, a multi tude of vibrations which are continually playing nbout us, but whloli go unnotloed because our ears am not attuned to their rat 5 of pulsation. The world, as he says, must he full of sounds that wo cannot hear because their vibrations arc too quick. He purposes to tame some ot these wild sounds of na ture, and bring them within the range of normal hearing. By running a phonograph at high speed It may be possible to catch records ot some ot them, and, then, by running the records morn slowly through tho repro ducing machine the vibrations may h" so reduced In rapidity that they will come within the limited range of the ear. Thus Innublble sounds will be rendered audible, as 'astronomical photographs pic ture Invlfilbln stars. Like his dream, a good many years ago, of rendering the roar of sun spots audible on the earth by means of a glgantla tele Phone, this latest Idea ot the great In ventor Is full of the essentially poetic Imagination that characterizes all his work. It should not be expected, however, that tho captive sounds that are to Issue from his mystlo phonograph will dlffor, essen tially, from tho highest notes that aro naturally audible to us, because when their vibrations are reduced to the soma scale they should produco n similar ef fect. Still, It Is possible that there will be evident In these transformed sounds (me peculiar quality that will differen tiate them from all others, so that wo will seem to be listening to melodies as alien tn our ears as the fabled music of the spheres. A concert of sounds caught out ot the apparently soundless atmosphere might, Judged by a musician, be as unmelodlous as the serenado of a band of savages, but heard issuing from the mouth of a phono graph whose record has bqen exposed only to open space It would thrill the thoughtful hearer with extraordinary sensations. But. Just as Mr. IMIson rojolces because his deafness relieves him from a thou sand sounds that he does not care ta hear, so, perhiip, when he has enabled us to hear what the powers of the air are saying, we may be glad that nature shut them away from our ears, for whu can guess what howling and screaming and unearthly vociferation there may bs In the seemingly quiet atmosphere about usT I. suffered rreethr for a lumber of years and for the past three year was to bid that life was a misery to me," writes Has.
