Defines Ideal Family. Rev. D. D. Vaughn, of the Halstead Street Institutional Church, j Chicago, who, by a series of heartj to-heart questions with his congregation, has learned what the "ideal" p husband and wife should be, has now discovered through the same sources what constitutes an "ideal" family. To his questions along this line which he submitted he received more than 100 answers. Boiled down to opinions of the majority, they are: The wife has as much right to the < money as the husband, jj Positively no credit must be considered. Parents must never sacrifice themselves to the point of indulgence. Force children to be obedient, with a hope of reward, and be free in expressing your love for them. Children should never be lied to in order to force them to be obedient; never burden the older children ; with the younger ones. \ The sisters should never be obliged ; to give up school for the brothers. Brothers and sisters should treat each other alike, and favors at home ! should not be governed according to their sex. | Children have no right to be paid for the work they do at home.?Philadelphia Record.

Two women on an open car sailing down Broadway near Houston street the other afternoon were discussing the artificiality of life in New York. The woman who had taken the negative side of the argument had been temporarily silenced, but she returned to the attack when her eye 1 caught sight of a big window box, fifty feet long at least, that stretched 1 across the third story front of one of the great gray buildings that are ( crowded all day long with thousands of work people fashioning wearing apparel and other exterior decorations for humans. The box was filled with the brilliant green and white of luxuriant daisies in full bloom. It was restful to the eye?a veritable 1 ocular oasis in the drab, signsprinkled wall of Broadway. 1 "There!" exclaimed the woman triumphantly. "The man who placed that there is one above sordid money- ] making. He is a man who loves nature and beauty. That proves my ar- , gument that all here is not artificial and a sham." "Look closer, my dear," answered the other. "Do you see those big signs above and below the window : box? They say 'Blossom & Co., Ar- 1 tificial IPlowers.' That show of nodding daisies is simply a sample of i what they are making inside."?New j York Press. Glossy Hair. "How do you keep such glossy hair?" asked a girl of a woman of the world. "I try to be very particular with mine, but as you see, it persists in looking blowsy." "I keep well," was the reply. "No one's hair will shine if she is in bad health. Did you never notice how much more luster your hair has when you feel that life is all to the good? Let me get a biliov.s attack and no amount of care will keep my hair from looking dead. "Besides being careful to exercise tnd watch my diet, I regularly polish my hair just as I would my nails. I keep it clean, which goes without laying. This does not mean shampooing at fixed intervals, but whenever it Is necessary. If one has been walking tnuch or moving around a dusty house cleaning time, the hair will need to be washed before the fixed time. : "Some women confound glossy with (oily hair. Nothing gives the hair as lunkept a look as to have it shining with oil. Keep the hair as dry as possible, then rub it to gloss with a polisher. "Brushing helps a lot for gloss, but in addition I rub my hair with a piece of brown velvet. The velvet brushes used to polish men's silk hats make good hair glossers, but tying a piece of velvet around an old nail buffer answers every purpose. "I am particular aot to wave my if!!' hair with too hot irons, as .they de? | stroy the gloss. Unless in a great j hurry I use wavers. Sometimes I rub j a few drops of attar of rose or violet \ perfume on my hair "before rubbing it i with the velvet."?New York Press. j A Woman on the Trail. A tenderfoot's first night in the ; woods is a notable adventure. I ; shall not forget my strange dismay j and homesick perturbation, as I j crawled with Doe into our tent in the j cold twilight at 9 o'clock. The floor j of the tent was laid deep with boughs, 1 over them a pack-mantle was spread, j then a blanket, then our sleeping- i bags, then several other blankets. J Our comrades' tent was pitched near ours, and between the two blazed a ] genial fire. Doe urged me to make ready for bed in haste, before the fire | went out, and she set me an admired j example of celerity. But I?alas! I everything went wrong beneath my ; blundering hands. I could not find J one article in my duffle-bag without removing all the others; I lost my slippers in the blankets, and my cold cream in the balsam boughs; I was j shivering with cold and fatigue; the ! fire was going out. As for getting j into that sleeping-Dag, never was there such an intricate process, nor ; one more fettering in its results when 1 once it was accomplished. I had to j adjust myself in the bed by a series of wholesale leaps and bounds, hoping against hope that I might fall upon some soft spit. In the dim light I : peered over at Doe, to see what she j had done for a pillow. There the j valiant one lay, fast asleep, with her i head on her duffle-bag?and her boots | inside the bag! Obediently I fol- ; lowed suit, squirming and wriggling j in the clutch of that hateful sleeping- J bag, and dragged up my duffle-bag 1 from the ditch. But I was no Jacob, J nor vet was I Doe, to sleep with such a tough head-rest as that, and 1 promptly discarded it and made shift to fold up my skirt and waist. Then, of course, the buttons got into my ears, and the seams made uncom fortable ridges. That was a funny, weary night; I laughed even at the time. Every time I essayed to turn over, in my still unsatisfied quest for a gentle spot, the blankets on top of st part of the neck of veal or some cut in rather small pieces. Dust pepper and barely cover all with il tender, then add bits of butter until the gravy in the step pan is a. baking dish with a strip of good ?r than for fruit pies and fill with gravy.

For morning wear chamois and i castor gloves are still the rage. Cotton voile leads as a material among the lace-trimmed blouses. Field flowers in their natural col- I arings are appearing on hats. Navy blue veiling with dots in vel- ! vet are a feature of the season. Many of the new waists are of net i embroidered in a color and gold. The silk rose is worn upon the corsage as well as used to trim hats. Alluring indeed are the satin violets which are favorites for trimming. To wear with Dutch collars there ' are charming little clasps of bril- > Liants. A straight row of buttons down the front of a dress is not in good style. The pin stripe in linen lawn is positively fascinating for wear with the linen suit when it repeats the gown :olor. Apropos of leather toilette accessories, both suede and glace gloves are worn, the former fine and velvety, the latter highly glazed. For morning wear about the house ! nothing is more attractive than the I freshly laundered shirt waist dress of linen or lawn. Dressmakers have declared that the best width around the bottom for the present day clinging skirt is two yards and a little over. Jersey cloth and albatross are both worn for the tops of petticoats. For smart afternoon wear pale- ! tonpd gloves are now the thing in : Paris. The tones most in use are ; rose, pearl, fawn and butter yellow, i One of the new notes among flow- | ers is a mixture of English wall flow- j ers and forget-me-nots. Cross-stitch embroidery has a re- i vival. It is used vim cushion cov- j ers, table covers, bi/^s, etc. Rlnck and white Svrian scarfs, or Egyptian veils riveted with silver or j gold, are the most popular draperies worn afternoons and evenings. Dangles, tassels, fringes, all are in : order, and passementerie drop trim- i mings may be found in the metallic, I pearl, jet and crystal effects. The smartest of slippers are made i of Irish crochet. They have a lining1 of silk, a stunning gold buckle and, , of course, the high French heel. The new old-fashioned sashes of wide black chantilly lace, bound or j bordered with black velvet ribbon, j are to be worn over white or light- | colored dresses. I \ TJSE OF TAILS. They Serve as Propellers, Boas, Trowels au<l Various Other Things. "There is no definition of a tail," declares a writer in the Strand. "It is not, in its nature, anything at all. i When an animal's fore legs are fitted J onto its backbone at the proper distance from the hind legs, if any back- I bone remains over we call it a tail. I "But it has no purpose. It is a mere surplus, which a tailor (the pun is unavoidable) would have trimmed off. "Eyes, nose and mouth, hands and ; feet all have their duties. The tail is unemployed. And if we allow that life has had any hand in the shaping of its own destiny, then the j ingenuity of the devices for turning | *u A tr\ Qr?r*/Mint a f- I tut; uicuj i uvwuijv M.^ fords one of the most exhilarating subjects of contemplation in the whole panorama of nature. "The fishes fitted it up at once as { a twin propeller, with results so sat- I isfactory that the whale and the purpoise, coming long after, adopted the invention. And be it noted that these last and their kin are now the only ocean-going mammals in the world. The whole tribe of paddle steamers, such as seals and walruses and dugongs, are only coasters. "Among those beasts tv t would live on the dry land the primitive i kangaroo could think of notb'" g bet- I ter to do with his tail than to make a j stool of it. It was a simple thought 1 but a happy one. "Sitting up like a gentleman, he has his hands free to scratch his ribs or twitch his mustache. And when he goes he needs not to put them to j - ? ? ?t foil on tioqt. i tut? gruuuu, IU1 uia 51CUW buii OU uvv*i ly equals the weight of his body that | one pair of legs keeps the balance j even. "And so the kangaroo, almost the lowest of beasts, comes closer to man in his postures than any other animal. The sqtiirrel also sits up and uses his fore paws for hands, but the ! squirrel is a sybarite who lies abed in cold weather, and it is every way characteristic of him that he has sent his tail to the furrier and had it done up into a boa, or comforter, at once warm and becoming. See, too, how daintily he lifts it over his back to keep it clean. "Then there is the beaver, whose j tail I am convinced is a trowel. I 'I know of no naturalist who has men- j tioned this, but such negative evidence is of little weight. "The beaver, as every one knows, is a builder who cuts down trees and ; piles log upon log until he has raised a solid domed cabin from seven to twenty feet in diameter, which he then plasters over with clay and | straw. If he does not turn round and | beat the work smootn witn ms tan, | then I require to know for what pur- | pose he carries that broad, heavy and hard tool behind him." Bear Went to Market. Intense excitement was created in Bellinghara this afternoon when a huge black bear, weighing 200 ; pounds, ran amuck in the heart of j the city and finally made a raid on a I stand of the public rtiarket. The an- | imal was first seen ambling along the j beach two blocks from Main street, early this afternoon and scores of i people rushed from stores to get a j glimpse of it. After hiding in a j clump of bushes on an embankment for half an hour the bear made its j way to a barn and was underneath j the building when a woman went out J to "collect eggs. I Seeing the animal within twenty j feet of her and rushing in her direc- ; tion she dropped her apronful of eggs j and, shrieking at the top of her voice, ' rushed to safety. Venturesome youths drove the animal away from the barn ' and it ran into the bushes again. An hour later it climbed the hill j and shambled up one of the main streets to the public market place. ! When discovered by the market mas- | ter it was devouring a bunch of rad- | ishes. Frightened away, the animal , started down the street and was mak- , ing a dash for a fleeing pedestrian j when it was shot by a hotel man with I a revolver. A second shot from a . Winchester caused its aeatn. x\oouuy has claimed the animal, and it is not known whether it Is a tame bear or a wild animal that wandered into the city at night.?Tacoma Ledger. Where Caesar Crossed Thames. Where did Julius Caesar cross the Thames? This sounds like one of the j questions set by staid old examiner? j in search of information they failed to acquire in their youth. There are perhaps as many places claiming to be the site of the famous fording aa there were claiming to the birthplace of Homer. This week Brentford has stolen a march on other places and has erected a monument commemorating Caesar's crossing of the Thames there! Most historians and topographers agree in placing the point of crossing at Halliford at a point known as Cowey (i. e., Causeway) Stakes, and but little support is j found for the Brentford theory. To i many people a monument is the most convincing of evidence, and though there is little tradition to support the Brentford column, that column will no doubt serve to strengthen the tradition.?London Chronicle.

It Seems to Be Half Vegetable, Half Mineral, and is a Puzzle to Science. The mystery of the mineral kingi dom is asbestos. It is, in fact, so much of a puzzle that many scientists look upon it as a sort of link between the mineral and the vegetable world. It might be said to resemble a mineralogical vegetable, possessing the curious properties found in both; for it is at once fibrous and crystalline, elastic and brittle, heavy as a rock when taken from the mines, but light as spun silk when treated mechanically. Soft, delicate almost as cobweb, the fibres of this strange mineral are so nearly indestructible that they have withstood the action of the elements since the world began. Through all the countless ages, during which the hardest rocks surrounding it have changed their characters, this geological freak has remained intact, hav ing successfully resisted the assaults of fire, acids and time. One is accustomed to think of asbestos as a very modern discovery, and in fact its commercial utility dates back hardly longer than a quarter of a century. But historians are pretty well agreed that the strange mineral was known thousands of years prior to the Christian era, being prized by the ancients more as an article of extreme luxury or as a most wonderful and interesting curiosity than something of much practical utility. There is much evidence, however, that the .Egyptians of the earlier Pharaoh dynasties, engaged as they were in commerce with the Athenians, built up a considerable industry in the manufacture of what were known as "cere cloths"?garments in which mummified dead were wrapped for preservation. There is a. specimen ui ctsuesLUb lcvuic m the museum of the Vatican Library, moreover, which was unearthed in Rome in the eighteenth century. It is highly probable, say modern authorities; that the spinning of asbestos for lamp wicks was also one of the earlier uses to which this Grecian asbestos was put. The never-dying lamps of the Vestal Virgins were probably equipped with such wicks. Both Strabo and Plutarch refer to these lamps as being perpetual bemuse of the wicks remaining unconsumed, while Pansanias, Pliny, Theophrastus and other Greek and Roman writers refer constantly to both lamp wicks and napkins as being made of "crystalline flax," a substance which can have been none othsr than asbestos. Pliny in particular specifically describes napkins as being used over a iharcoal brazier and emerging from his treatment much fairer and whiter than they could have been had oV? i r? -zuatpv nnH LXlVjr UCCU nuouvu i. ?.w. ? bleached in the sunshine. So well known, indeed, was the mysterious non-heat conducting minsral in those early times that some historians have suggested that Shad,*ach, Mesach and Abednego, whom Bibical history describes as having ' urvlved the ordeal of Nebuchadnezzar's fiery furnace, were clothed in neavy asbestos coverings before the Drdeal began.. Be that as it may, the fact is well authenticated that the corpses of early kings and heroes were wrapped .n incombustible blankets in order ',o separate their ashes from those of the funeral pyre. a*&&*** ?' The well known story of a later elate which relates how Charlemagne amused and astonished his guests after dinner by having the tablecloth thrown into the fire and then drawn out again, clean and white, but still uninjured, points undoubtedly to the use of asbestos as a textile material. Strange as it may appear, however, the spinning and weaving of asbestos seems to have become a lost art for the next thousand years. No evidence of such an industry appears in modern writings until the early seventies of the nineteenth century, when experiments for using it commercially were made in Switzerland. Shortly after this the first specimens of a noKoofnc minpH in Vd'J liUC, n uiiv> u,w wrwwww.*, Canada, were exhibited in London. They attracted little serious attention at the time, however, and it was not until 18 78 that Canadian asbestos began to be mined on a large scale. Since then the Black Lake region of Quebec has been found to produce the first fibre in the world, and now nearly ninety per cent, of all the asbestos used comes from the Dominion. Deposits are found, however, all over the world, notably in South Africa, but none of them produces the white fibre of the Canadian mines, their color ranging from blue and green to the recently discovered, and very beautiful pink asbestos of India. The spinning and weaving of asbestos has offered many difficulties, as the asbestos fibres have no rough surface like wool or cotton, but are very smooth and thus have a tendency to slip by one another when twisted and subject to tension. An admixture of vegetable or animal fibre was therefore often necessary, but while these facilitated the manufacturing operations, they impaired the fire resistance of the fabric, and special machinery and ingenious devices had to be invented to enable the successful spinning of a pure asbestos yarn; it is however, now possible to make a single abestos thread a mile in length which weighs but a pound and a half. Asbestos paint, plaster, flooring, ceiling and wall decorations, asbes tos bricks, tiles, slabs, and even asbestos lumber, are now used largely in making buildings fireproof, and whole blocks of buildings made entirely of these asbestos materials have been erected within recent years in the newer American cities. ?

' po.ui^ppr DEPARTMENT RAISING DUCKS. ! Case in Point Where They Did Better Without Water. We confess that after raising ducks ! in a small way for three years we cannot satisfactorily say whether it is profitable to raise ducks without giving them access to' water. This year we raised them without letting them have access to water, excepting for drinking purposes. During the summers of 1906 and 1907 we raised 200 Mammoth Pekins and the youngsters took to the water within eighteen | hours after being taken from the incubator or within twenty-four hours after the old hen came off the nest with them. The water, a small stream, was within 300 yards of the hatching place and every duok, with one accord, took a bee line for it, says a writer in Farm and Home. We had good luck with them. This year we kept watch of the youngsters for several weeks, keeping them away from the water. In a few weeks they would range around the feed within twenty paces of the brook but have never taken a swim. We have the j Pekin and the Indian Runner breeds, j and for the past sixty days or more tney nave grazeu iu cue pasiuic, often going almost to the edge of the brook. They seem to, be perfectly healthy and content and we have not lost a duck by disease, nor had any sick or [ ailing. After eating, they go through all the motions of a swim, dipping themselves and going through the motions as if they were in the water. We like ducks because they are so healthy and so easily controlled. We aim to market the Peklns at ten weeks old and expect such ducks tc average fully five pounds or over. Tc I reach these figures they must nol have too much range or too much exercise. It seems to me that the breeding ducks should have free access to water. I believe the eggs will be more fertile and the ducks healthier and stronger. Alarm For Poultry House.
