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

Our Artificial Life.
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

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 .

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.

Asbestos the
Mineral Mystery.
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

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. ? New

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.
