Tuber culosls seems to be following, as it is declining at ari Increasing rate, Its deaths having fallen off nearly <50 per cent since lKtto.

It i' a <<>iiiiimi■ ipIti< e in say that a nation - moral rode is revealed In Its proberbs; but it is less widely recog nized tbai proverbial sayings throw light also upon the long-standlug economic structure of a social group. A proverb is not an individual obser vation ; it condenses the experience of a class, a sex. a caste. A large number record the accumulated ex jierienee of the small peasant propri etor, his ceaseless labor and petty saving and screwing. “While the sheep Mates he loses a mouthful.” The economics of married life are often tersely laid bare. ”A wooden mother is better than a golden father” (Shropshire) must be taken from the outlook of a wife who would be summed up In a national census as “home worker.” “A rolling stone gathers no moss," says the wisdom of the staid British countryman, diligently making the best of his land by long and careful husbandry “By going and coming the bird builds Its nest" is the oppo site point of view held by a Negro trader traveling backward and for I ward through the African fnrest. I Bawbees are round and rin away A g-rl|. o' the grund Is glide to hae. expresses the land-hunger of a Scots man of ihe old school, mistrusting “investments” which he cannot sec and handle. Here is a trio from Norway: "A large stock needs much pasture.” “A cow will not hear that the hay is dwindling away.” "You cannot climb a mountain by a level road." Ho they < not sum tip certain aspects of the little farm perched up amid scanty mountain pastures? Factory life, a modern growth everywhere, has not yet left Its mark upon the proverbial lore of any coun try because It has not yet been fully assimilated as a mode of self-expres sion. The proverb Is everywhere a spontaneous growth, for “shoes alone know if 'locking hah hole," as they say In Jamaica. Pointer for the Housewife. The woman who reduces herself to a frazzle and her family to nervous wrecks does It by trying to do each separate piece of work to perfection. We all like a perfectly appointed household, but It Is vastly more Impor tant that a home should he coinfort able, where the family likes to gather, than that no grain of dust should ever be seen. Housework, done right, is more healthful than almost any other work. Making beds Is an excellent ex ercise for a sluggish liver, hut don't j forget that a tired housewife may he rested und refreshed by a brisk walk In the fresh air. Fatigue is often caused from had air, and with the lungs tilled with pure ulr the body Is able to throw off the poisons. Pick out the Important tilings to he done dally and do them, reserving time and strength for these things. The Important thing Is meals. They mean more to the family than any thing else, us they are the fuel which keeps you going.—Exchange.
