This is the way It read: • * “The wife of a man of moderate means who does her own cooking, washing and ironing, brings up a large family of girls ami boys to be useful members of society and finds time for her own intellectual ami moral im provement is the greatest woman In all our history.” Probably many a tired housewife, reading the answer, has thought grim ly that the woman who does her own housework, brlugs up a large family ami “finds time for her own intellectupl and ^ moral improvement” deserves to be culled the greatest woman in his- 1 tory. Possibly she Is even guilty of a passing wish that the writer of the par agraph in question might try for her self and .see how much time she would find for intellectual and moral improve ment. Vft. although provocative of possible irritation, the prjxe answer has comfort toT. Ill the natural course of things to be the “greatest” woman in history must be a solitary glory, but one may fall short of such ilistinction and yet make the world the rh her for a life of toil not forg 'tfttl of- Ideals. The comfort lies in the fact that more ami more the work of the hous;* in ither—rich or poor, provided only that hebrt ami hands giye glad service—is taking the first place in the world’s honor list.— Youth's Companion.

By its aid spring elcauing may be at>oli$hcd and houses kept ten times cleaner than now under the “cyclical system of displacing dirt and dust.” Colonel R. L. B. Crompton of Great Britain predicts that electric power will soon supersede the toils of the housemaid, motors driving machinery for washing dishes, cleaning flats, roasting and .grinding coffee, chopping meat, kneading dough, doing the laun dry work, cleaning metal effects, pol ishing silver and jewelry, cooling the refrigerator, pressing clothes, rocking the baby—In brief, doing all and more than the ten fairies on a, woman’s hand can ever be expected td achieve. Mrs Florence Stewart of Evansville* lud., writes, “Auy wornm who cau ap preciate what it means to be restored to health and vigor after being so rnn down and anaemic as to make life a misery will understand why I cannot express my gratitude for Viuol. ‘‘I had been iu this condition for years, and had tried many remedies prescribed by physicians, bur withont benefit.
