Tbe visiting young ladles came from the snow>capped hills of Virginia. They came from a colder atmosphere to tbe more genial rays of a more Southern sun. They came among warm hearts, where they are welcomed Into hospitable homes and we hope * that they may In return love both oar warm hearts and oar bospltable homes. A lew ye?ri? ago one ol our prettiest yonng ladles captured t"elr brother. Mr. Frederick Mlnshall, and since then she has made ol blm a naturalized citizen and a patriotic son p- Of tbe old Palmetto mate.

Margaret E. Sangster. L I met a pair of elegant paupers one day in New York. Dick had ten thouk sand ayear, and Dolly's mother bought Dolloy's wardrobe. But they were [ hopelessly involved in debt and mad; deued by duns, and bemoaniug their Ifufo hori tn flu frnm the fiitV and burv ; themselves id the suburb. Stretch it as you will, you can not make ten thousand dollars do the work of forty thousand, and cover colossal extravagance. | I know and honor a very rich pair, married many years ago, and grand1 parents now, with sons and daughters j eminent for brains, honor and usefulness. The husbaud is the pastor of a country parish, hidden among the hills, and five hundred dollars is the largest ' stipend be has ever had. Tihs couple never had debt?, and their boys and Kirls went to college. Plain living and high thinking have been the rule in the parsonage, they have not even felt poor;everything being comparative in this world, the real wealth has beeD to them more than tinsel, pomp and vanities. I know college towns where the scale * " *? -1 > ??i..?:I OI living is Clieap, auu tuc saianco ui learned meu are low, but wbere culture and refinement prevail, and the atmosphere is perfumed with goodness, and children grow up emulating the best in character and attainment. I know in* dustrial towns where the hum of machinery is heard from morning till night, and thrift and a wholesome ambition prevade the community. In the ideal American town, few are very rich and no one is very poor. The problem is of easy solution, if the couple intending to marry shall pitcb their tent in either of these places; either in a quiet educational village or a bustling factory town. If a mighty commercial center on the seashore or lakeside be chosen as a residence, the difficulties will be greater, but common sense and brains aod a high ideal of honor will help in unraveling the luugie, ?uuuu juuuoc&ccpiLig. Uses of the Foot-Bath. Have you ever tried treating a cold by means of a foot-bath ? Take a thorough foot-bath, to which mustard has added. By " thorough " ia meant tnat the feet shall be placed in water which will come high up the calves of the legs, and the water as hot as the feet can bear. Then, by continually adding hot water, the foot-bath should be kept as hot as can bo borne for twenty minutes. At the same time hot water should be drunk freely. The patient is ready for bed, after drying the feet thoroughly. Cover up warmly with extra clothing, and place something warm to the feet. If there is a cough and pain i.n the chest a hot application may be given to the chest after the foot-bath. T? monn <*aooa thin frpufmpnt. Will suffice to break the cold. If not, repeat at least every day. Should the cold not yield to one or two treatments try fasting. Not necessarily entire abstinence from food, but the eating of a limited amount of very simple food. Headaches will yield to a foot-bath without other treatment. Try it. If the head is hot wring a towl from cold water and wrap around the bead. Habitually cold feet are treated by the alternate hot and cold foot-baths. Persist in the treatment every night, or both night and morning. Some people suffer with difficulty in going to sleep. The brain is active, and because of the multitude of .thoughts sleep will not come. A warm foot-bath may be all that is needed. A tepid foot-bath will be found very restful and quieting to the tired nerves of a busy housewife. She will resume her work, refreshed, after the simple treatment. The warm foot-bath is found helpful to the weak heart. Pain in the heart from organic heart disease will frequently be very much roltpvpri hv aimnlv nlapinc the feet for a short time in a moderately warm foot-bath. It does not need to be so hot that the patient can hardly bear it. ?Pacific Journal of Health. An Inexpensive Chocolate Ice Cream.?

AMERICA BEHIND OTHER NATIONS IN HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT. Annual Expenditures Here and In Enropean Countries For Good Roads?Cost of Building Highways In Some of Oar States. The United States does not begin to spend the amount of money upon Its public highways that it costs to construct and maintain the public roads of England and European countries. While this country leads the world in Its railroads and street railways, it Is far behind most countries across the Atlantic In its system of public highways. England and Wales spend annually $20,000,000 on their roads, Ireland $3,000,000, France $37,500,000, while the United States, the pioneer of all nations in public improvements, the leader of the world in devising and perfecting plans to add to the comfort and welfare of mankind, lags in the 'nro with thf> disgraceful record of spending $40,000 upon its federal plan of public road Improvement This does not include, of course, the annual expenditures of the various states of the Union, says the Buffalo Express. If these sums were included, the comparison would not be so unfavorable, for there will be expended this year close on to $10,000,000 throughout the country for the betterment of public highways. Moreover, the outlook for the future is exceedingly bright The possibilities are that by the end of another decade the combined expenditures of the federal government and the various states will equal $50,000,000 a year for the construction and maintenance of public highways. There are fully 200 good roads organizations, national, state and county, in the United States.' The association that Is doing the most work for the betterment of highways throughout the country is that known as the American Roadmakers. The membership of this association Is limited to ten Influential men in each state, one of the provisions of Its constitution being that there shall not be more than ten members from each state. When New Jersey, which was the pioneer state in the good roads movement, first began to improve its roads, It cost $10,000 per mile. They are now 'i ? I . i B B SENATOR EARLK'S GOOD B0ADS TRAIN. being constructed for $2,000 to $5,000 per mile, most of them costing only $2,500. This Is due to the greater knowledge and practical experience gained by the road builders as well as by the use of improved machinery and methods. In Michigan, Ohio and other western states roads are being constructed at a much less figure, some of them costing not more than $1,000. As might be expected, these roads are not as durable as those upon which a greater amount of money is expended. New York pays about $5,000 to $7,000 a mile and builds a very thoroughly constructed road out of crushed stone under the direction of the state engineer and in accordance with the state aid plan, which provides that the state shall pay 50 per cent of the cost of construction of the roads, 35 per cent lfl paid by the county and 15 per cent by the town in which the road is improved. Connecticut and Massachusetts hnth Viotto ?/1m1rah1o methods fnr 1m proving their highways and have long been recognized as among the most progressive states of the Union in this regard, each expending $500,000 a year on the improvement of its roads. The state of Georgia is, perhaps, the most progressive among the southern states. For a number of years it has employed a large amount of prison labor in the construction of its roads, using prisoners, both black and white, in crushing stone and in constructing the roads. The system of employing prison labor has been so successfully carried out that it has been adopted in other states. A most interesting good roads campaign Is being conducted In the state of Michigan by Senator Earle.

New Jeraey'a Good Roadi. During the past twelve months $450,000 was spent In macadamizing public roads in New Jersey, and for this comparatively small sum the state now has 140 miles of the finest rural thoroughfares in the country. Altogether New Jersey has 641 miles of these fine highways. Build Them to Lait. Great loss has often been occasioned through temporary and unskillful fixing of roads and the erection of fiimsj I and Insufficient culverts and brldgea It Is poor economy to erect anything but permanent structures built to last and stand the severest testa. . HOW TO ATTAIN OLD AGE. Advice From an Authority on the Subject of Longevity. Of the giving of recipes for longevity there is apparently no end. Every man or woman who has reached out i far beyond the allotted threescore I years and ten Is made the subject of an entertaining argument to prove the points of this or that contender. Every abnormality in the shape of Btrengxn 01 arm, 01 dock, uj. geuenu system, is used as an illustration of the virtues of this or that system of I exercise or living. It Is the opinion of a good many laymen that mankind does entirely too much thinking on the subject of how to live to a ripe old age. Less worry on this point might lead to the desired result. But there never will be less worry. Even now the list of systems for prolongation of man's days Is being augII mented. The very latest suggestion ,1 comes from a physician of credit and renown. He thinks that there Is a very great deal of benefit or of Injury | In the wearing of certain kinds of i clothing. According to this authority, the wearing of flannel next the skin Is , immensely Injurious to the general run | of men and women. Cotton Is king, in , I his opinion- For summer wear he I suggests a calico shirt, while balbrigI ran cotton is his idea of winter cov ! erlng. The main point of his theory Is the necessity of wearing always the same kind of material next the skin, whether this be of linen, cotton or wool. i Outdoor exercise Is highly recommended?that Is, If cycling be except ed. Wheeling is not considered a sane performance by this judge. How to Bake Tripe. \ Cut two pounds of boiled tripe Into Inch pieces. Peel, slice and fry In a little butter four mild onions.
