LADIES' COLUMN,
THE SUNSHINE OF HOME.
The real happiness of a home de
pends upon a determination to lay no
undue stress upon little matters, and
a resolve to hold one's own irritability
in constant check. For it is the sum
of trivial affairs that make up the
day's account. True home sunshine,
If it consistently brightens the fea
tures of one member in a family is
pretty sure to be reflected in the faces
of the rest.
The dear ones at home are more to
us than kings and queens, than the
mightiest and noblest in the world,
and yet we often treat them worse
than we treat strangers. With others
whom we meet in business or in soci
ety we are half unconsciously on our
guard. Hasty words are repressed
and favors lavished. But those at
home usually have the pleasure or
the pain of seeing uo precisely as we
are in the mood of the moment. If
our nerves are over strung, or our
tempers tried, so far from endeavor
ing to conceal the fact, we make them
feel it. Individually these faults of
temper may be small, but so are the
locusts that collectively conceal the
dew.
Only perfection can bear with im
perfection. The better a man be
comes the more allowance will he
make for the short-comings of others.
In order to have sunlight at home it
is not enough negatively to abstain
from fault-finding and general peev
ishness. We should recognize praise
as a positive duty. If a thing is done
wrongly better sometimes to say
nothing about it. Wait until it hap
pens to be done rightly and then give
marked praise. The third time the
charm of your approbation will pro
duce a much better performance.
If it is possible to "damn with faint
praise"' how much more damaging
must be no praise at all. How much
parential goodness and greatness
w.ould become actual but for the wet
blanket of sullen silence!
The Most Useless Extravagance.
There was once a woman who was
the despair of all the other women of
her acquaintance. Her house was as
pretty as possible, and always in per
fect order. She kept it on a very
small income, and kept it beautifully.
She made all of her own clothes and
those of her child. She trimmed hats
for herself and sisters. She did fancy
work; she painted chairs, thereby
sometimes saving as much as seventy-five
cents; phe taught a class in a
mission school; she took lessons in
cooking; she belonged to several
charitable organizations and the end
of that woman was nervous prostra
tion and a sanitarium. Amid her oc
cupations she had somehow lost sight
of the fact that a certain amount of
amusement is necessary for the hu
man mind. She had never "had time"
for rest or diversion. And her hus
band, as he paid the bill for medical
service possibly reflected how much
better, and not only better but cheap
er, would the prevention have been
than the cure.
Onsociable. We envy neither the
men nor the women who cannot
speak to a fellow-creature out of
their own circle or to anybody with
out the formality of an introduction.
There is no computing the amount of
profit as well as pleasure such persons
lose by hedging themselves in with
this stupid fence of fastidiousness.
We have always found more of this
feeling among persons who were
touchy on their social positions than
among those self-respecting persons
who thought nothing about it. A
great deal of intelligence is floating
round the world without being label
ed, and those men or women who
have the good sense to recognize this
fact and not act upon it not only are
educating themselves, but conferring
that pleasure which we are bound by
the common ties of humanity to ex
change with one another. It seems
to us that is only the snob and pre
tender who takes a different view of
this question.
How to Dry Wet Shoes. When,
without overshoes, you have been
caught in a heavy rain-storm, perhaps
you have known already what to do
with your best. kid boots, which have
been thoroughly wet through, and
which, if left to dry in the ordinary
way, will be stiff, brittle and unlovely?
If not, you will be glad to learn what
I heard only recently, from one whose
experience is of value.
First, wipe off gently with a soft
cloth all surface water and mud; then,
while still wet, rub well with kerosene-oil,
using for the purpose the
furred side of Canton flannel. Set
them aside till partially dry, when a
second treatment with oil is advisa
ble. They may then be deposited in a
conveniently warm place, where they
will dry gradually and thoroughly.
Before applying French kid-dressing,
give them a final rubbing with the
flannel, slightly dampened with ker
osene, and your boots will be soft and
flexible as new kid, and be very little
affected by their bath in the rain.
Children Cry for
Pitcher's Gastoria
The old church at St. Foy, at Sch
lestadt, in Alsace, dating from 1087,
has been recently restored, and in the
process the workmen came upon a
block of mortar that seemed to con
tain the imprint of a human form. A
cast taken, and the emotion was great
when it was perceived to be that of a
woman. The features, calm, and of a
refined expression, are perfectly de
fined, the breast covered with a knit
ted woollen vesture of a well-known
stitch, and the texture of the hair
perfectly moulded. The head is
slightly inclined to the right shoulder
the neck and throat, with the shoulder-blades
standing out in relief, are
perfect.
It was thought at first that it might
be Hildegarde, the noted foundress of
St. Foy; but probability points to its
being her daughter, the well-beloved
Adelaide, as she is called in a charter
of 1094. The plague raged in Alsace
in the eleventh century. Both Ade
laide and her brother Conrad died,
hence this evidently hasty and pro
phylactic inhumation. The lime evi
dently filtered through the sand and
hardened on the body, which left the
mould that it has given us in micro
scopic detail, the features of the girl
who eight hundred years ago was
hurriedly, and doubtlessly with many
tears, laid in her resting-place. It is
not the work of art, says Canon Da
cheex, but of nature itself. The ex
pression of a real being is there. We
have before us the form and features
of a woman of the eleventh century,
perhaps more perfectly preserved
than any of those which are preserv
ed at the museum at Pompeii.
With Ely's Cream Balm a child can be
treated without pain and with perfect safety.
It cures catarrh, hay fever and colds in the
head. It is easily applied into the nostrils
and gives immediate relief. Price 50 cents.
Slip 'Twixt The Cup And The Lip.
"There's many a slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip" is a very old saying, and
was first uttered to the King of Sa
mos, an island in the Grecian Archi
pelago. This king,Ancaeus by name,
planted a vineyard, and treated the
slaves who cultivated it so badly that
one of them told him he would never
live to taste the wine made from it.
When the wine was ready, and a
cup of it poured out for the king, he
sent for the slave who had prophe
sied his death, and asked him what
he thought of his prophecy now. The
slave replied, "There's many a slip
'twixt the cup and the lip;" and, just
as ho had spoken the words, Ancaeus
received warning that a wild boar had
broken into his vineyard, and was
ruining it. Putting down the wine
untasted, he rushed out to attack the
boar, and was killed.
Men of all professions and trades, ministers,
lawyers, merchants and mechanics unite in

troubles as the best household remedy in ihe

Mary Magdalene's Grave. Fif
teen thousand pilgrims annually visit
St. Baume, in Provence, not far from
Marseilles, where Mary Magdalene is
said to have spent the last thirty
years of her life.
The legend runs that Mary Magda
lene came from Judea in a small boat
wifctfi Lazarus, Martha, the two Marys
and Salome, bringing with them the
body of St. Anne, the head of St.
James the Less and a few wee bones
of the innocent massacred by King
Herod. But from early ages this story
has been disputed, and the Abbe Du
schene, one of the most erudite writ
ers on the early Christian saints and
martyrs, considers that the relics of
Mary Magdalene were probably sent
from Constantinople about the sev
enth century. A Greek breviary,
however, speaks of the saint as hav
ing died at Ephesus.

Swearing at a horse never stops his

He who sows wild oats is not apt to
reap tame ones.
A scolding wife is just as beautiful
to look upon as a swearing husband.
The man who has no confidence in
womanhood is utterly unworthy of
the confidence of womanhood.
Hatred always injures the one who
harbors it far more than it does the
one against whom it is directed.
If you will honestly try to mend
your own faults you will have little
time to find fault with other people.
The hornet, like the gossip, would
not be such a bad thing to have about
if it wasn't for the sting in its tale.
It won't do any good to pray for the
South Sea Islander as long as you
won't speak to the man who lives in
the next house.

Catarrh in the bead is undoubtedly a dis
ease of the blood,-and as such only a reliable
blood purifier can effect a perfect and perma
nent cure. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best
blood purifier, and it has cured many very se
vere cases of catarrh. Catarrh oftentimes
leads to consumption. Take Hood'o Sarsa
parilla before it is too late.
Hood's Pills do not purge, pain or gripe.but
act promptly, easily and efficiently. 25 cts.
