"Prompt action Is thf great thing in cases of poisoning. By the time one ; ran get help from a doctor or druggist . It is often tc late to save the patient.

By Lilian Bell. n ONDEIt often arises In me If men know that so few women that we might utmost sny no wonum who la perfectly happy ever seeks a career? No haniiily married or rlslitly loved t - Tf I woman ever seeks a carver. The desire for a career for a I woman is an acknowledgment of heart failure, swat I Tll's 18 Prac,l,'a"y because wr have so few homes In Amer ica, we nave private uuu-is w litre ecu luiiuiy cur's iiuu sirt'its, but where family life aud sniooih liousekeeplug are uukuow.n. If I were a woman seeking n career, I would go to some Of my rich, and prosperous friends and offer to turn the house Into a home. I have only recently learned of the term "working housekeeper." I like It Thero should be more of them. It Is distinctly thn career for an nnuinrrled woman who loves love and home uud children, and, above all, housekeeping. Housekeeping Is the most fascinating occupation in the world. Something uew If always appearing tn somebody's house which would go so well in yours! The loneliness of the unloved does not mean that a woman Is lonely because she Is not loved by anybody. Most women are loved by the wrong some. bodies. Nor does It mean that women are lonely because they are unloved by their own families, or neaen forgive me for betraying so many woman's secrets! unloved by their own husbands who think they are loving devotedly.

Ke Mission of Commerce, By Grover Cleveland. sasttSMSaMM RACTICAL business activity can be mingled with eulighten " I inent and social betterment, and commercial organizations mm 1 have already woven them together. They nw estopped from LtiaV I disclaiming thefr obligation to continue the work. It rests I I with them not only to enlarge and strengthen by Increased e n- M 1 terprise tho fabric they have thus produced, but to make It I brighter and more beautiful by adding' to It a larger Infusion saejssBsssJ of that which touches the welfare of maukiuu In every moral and social rhase aud condition. It may justly be said that commerce, by what It has already done, by what lies yet In its path undone, and by what It has been able to do, has created for itself a mission which cannot be fulfilled by Increased effort directed solely to gaining more business advantages. This mission does not exact an abatement of commercial struggle and competition; but It so far fires their limit as to enjoin that with such struggle and competition there shall also be willing co-operation In tin endeavor to promote every beneficial purpose which commerce can draw within Its sphere. Commercialism is a word we often hear in these days when an attempt !s made to describe certain political nml economic phases of our national ten dencies, which are greatly lameuted by good people who ar solicitous for our country's welfare. It has always seemed to me that the meaning attached lo this" word lacks dcflDiteness. If it Is used to define a desire to accumulate rvealth not only for the gratification of individual wishes, but in full recogni. Son of the duties and oblicatlons to others which the po5esiou of wealth im poses, we need not complain of such us. With our conception of what commerce Is and ouslit' to be. we have, how ever, cause of complaint wb;ii the word "commercialism" is used as descriptive of sordid money getting. The Teacher's By O. S. Marden. XLY a small part of a true teacher's recompense soes to liiui !n his check or monthly payment for services. There is an ; iinralpalie reward for .1 successful lmstroeror with which the oirse dollar cannot compare. The consciousness th.'.t he has given his pupil something ; that will make his nonv; tighter, his ideals finer, his life hap pier. briu;s tsith it an uplift of heart which Is of more value to hlra than many tlnie the amount of his salsi-r. The realiza- . ticn that the pupil feeis that somethinj of worth has touched hlqj. tfca: his ambition has been aroused is payment, indeed. What is money, compared with the c-asUotMrjess that you have opened a little wider the door of sjme narrow life, that you have let In the life of oppor- ' (unity, have shown the boy or girl that there is something in .-xUtenee worth 1 strlvin? for? What is salary compared wi-h the thongiit tliat you have made . the dull Lmv ftel, perhaps for the first t:aie. that there Is posslMe tuccess for : him, that he Is not quite the dunce be has been taught to believe himself? What j Is financial reward pitted against the glow of hope that has been kindled in j the breast of the youth who never before was encouraged to do his lst? Is j there anythln; niore precious in this world than to gain ihe confidence, j love and friendship of the boys and girls under your care, who pour out their j secrets to you. and tell you freely of their hopes and amDitions As a rule, a teacher's salary Is pitifully mean and small when compared with the magnitude of the task entrusted to bim the shaping or the destinies of thousands of young lives and It is greatly to the honor of the teaching body that so many of Its members give of thi j very best to their pupils without any thought of the wholly inadequate pecuniary compensation they receive. A conscientious, successful teacher performs for his pupils and his country a service whose value can never be measured by doUare and cents. Success. Harvests and High Finance. B Alexander D. Noyes. N the progress of contemporary finance the midsummer months ( of each successive year are a period of singular interest. It : is then that there come Into public view the forces over which neither human foresight nor human Ingenuity can exercise the least control, and yet which are fundamental In their In fluence on National prosperity. Of all the wealth produced each year, in the modern as In the ancient world, the greater part Is that whl. h grows out of t'ae ground; and this is precisely the portion of the world's annual production which Is v. i,olly subject to the caprices of nature. It needs but a moment s consid eration to see bow vitally the financial fortunes of a people depend on this question of the crops. Complete and general harvest failure, In a highly de veloped Industrial S:ate. means. firt, the los of a year's Income to the farm . community. Next. aJ as a caiural consequence. It m'-ans the curtailment of that community's buying power, and hence a large reduction in the purchase of manufactured goods. But this must also. In the third place, involve sudden disappearance of demand for transportation, both from and to the farm com jianities. If there Is no wheat to send to market, erie-fourth of the business of the grain-carrying railway disappears; tf there is no demand for city mer- ' chandisc on the farms, freight trr.Sc In the opposite direction will be deci- . m.vrd. 1 But the railway which Iaii. to earn Its dividend will not in such a case lie the only sufferer. Loss of expected iacome by the farmer, and by the I miweroof trades w hich thrive with h! prosperity, means diminished savings. decreatod resources la the ban., nd v.se In financial enterprise. I: i.; a well I ins operations in our Eastern markets, through wuien tue nuije nnanciai I schemes of the last thres years have been carried out, were made posilde by I ti.e plating of Wtstera bank credits st the disposal of Wall Street Thsse I credits were chiefly the net rr-fult at profitable crops. Even this does not tell all the story. Shortage In crop would be followed, . ntiersarily, by falling exports, and falling exports foreshadow reduced com mand over foreign capital. With all the extraordinary recent prosvesa of the I'nited States in hr exportation of manufactured goods and of mine aud forest products, it stiil remains true that our agricultural shipments make np shty-ihree per cent, of our annual export trade. In othr words, harvest fail- j u;c jeopardizes niu.iAantously the fortunes of the railways aud banks, and ! also the country's foreign credit. Alike in and 1002.

A bandage of gauze is soaked In the liquid and then laid on the nose, care being' taken to avoid rubbing the skin or causing any Irritation that might tend to redden It.

" 'I want the be3t in the town,' ex- , plained the stranger. " 'Well, I'm the one,' persisted the attorney. " 'What proof have you?' " 'Proof,' shouted the lawyer, 'you don't need proof.
