To nvoid the trouble of housekeep

\Vhat to Eat The price paid for this
service varies In accordance with the
style of living. If guests be invited to
dinner or any sort of entertainment bo
given, an extra sum per head is paid.
In this way the lady of the house
avoids the annoyance of butchers' and

not keep his part of the contract it is
easy enough to find another to replace

The Manufacture of l*lns»
In 1775 prize was given to tlio
colonist of Carolina who produced
the first native pins and needles. Dur
ing the war of 1812, when, owing to
restrictions upon commerce, the prico
of pins rose to the enormous sum of
$1 per paper, the manufacture was
actually started In the United States,
but does not seem to have met with
success, as the enterprise was soon
abandoned. The industry was not fair
ly started In this country until tho
year 1838.
The early pins In this country, as in
England, were made with globular
heads of fine twisted wire, made sep
arately, and secured to the shank by
compression from a falling block and
die. These old pins had the misfor
tune of often parting with their heads.
It was to overcome this difficulty that
the attention of early Inventors was
directed. The solid headed pin, in
common use today, took the place of
the old form about 1840.

The Firnt IllucNtoekliiKT.
About one hundred and thirty years
ago a Mrs. Montague who lived in
London Introduced the fashion of "con
versation parties," which were very
enjoyable compared with the other
parties given then. Among the men
who attended these parties was a Ben
jamin Stllllnglioet, who wore blue
stockings. Some of the men thus nick
named the parties "bluestocking
clubs." Soon the papers were full of
talk about the clubs, and many be
lieved tiiat the ladies who came wore
bluestockings. After awhile all stu
dious ladies were called "bluestock
ings," and today jeople often speak
of aome learned woman as a "blue
stocking." A man was really the orig
inal "bluestocking," so the term ought
really to be applied to learned men
and not to women.
The Client.
The following simple exercise will
assist greatly in rounding out the
chest: Lift the hands, palms outward,
until the lingers touch at the tips. The
hands should meet just over the head
and the lingers lightly kiss each other.
The elbows should he held out sharply,
so as to give the arms full play and
opeu the lungs. Lift the arms, with
elbows protruding, as many times as
possible without actual fatigue. Touch
the linger tips over the head as often
as the hands meet. In mild weather
practice this near an open window or
in a spacious room with windows wide
open, if possible, so as to be sure of
good, pure air.

be sewed like carpet and put down
better and easier than in the usual

this method would Increase the wear

The average Iowa farmer thinks he I
knows aB much about corn as anybody
does but we miss onr guess if he can
not learn a lot from these articles in
Wallaces' Farmer.
In this connection we wish to say I
that Wallaces' Farmer is one of the
best agricultural papers that comes to I
this ollice. It is handsomely printed on
paper of line quality, tilled with at
tractive illustrations, and addition I
to its regular features, its editorial by I
"Uncle Ilenry," its departments of I
Dairying, Horticulture, the Hog and I
Poultry, Its Home Department, for the
women contains full reports of tbel
leading fairs, live stock Bhows, andl
flales, agricultural meetings, etc. It is I
published weekly at Des Moines, Iowa1
at $1.00 a year, all subscriptions pay-1
able in advance and the paper stops I
when the time iB out. We can'send I
Wallaces' Farmer and the Democrat!
both one year for only 2.25 and you get
one of our nice pfemlnms. Apply at
the Democrat office.
