THE retired physician whose sands
of life" had nearly run out has
just died in Jersey City. His real name
was o. Phelps Brown he was a tramp
printer who hit upon this clever
advertising dodge, and amassed a fort
une by selling East India hemp at 81 a
pound, which only cost him 40 cents.
The moral of his life was that he paid
his debts as it paid to advertise.

ALTHOUGH Thomas Jefferson died so
recently as the Fourth of July, 1926,
yet the veneration of his countrymen
for his memory has been so great that
three successive head-stones over his
grave have been quietly Clipped away,
and now ornament many mantel-piece
throughout the country he loved so well.
A fourth stone will soon be required.

SHE LOVED YOU BETTER THAN YOU
KNEW"

Strawberry leaves were red and sere,
October dews were fresh and chill,
When pausing on the wooded hill,
The hill that overlooked the sea,
You spoke confidingly to me,
Me-whOm your keen artistic sight
Has not yet learned to read Alright,
The while L yelled my heart from you,
And loved you better than you knew.
You told me of your toilsome past,
OF tardy honors won at last,
OF trials borne-of conquests gained,
The longed-tor boon of fame attained,
/ knew that every victory but lifted you away
from me;
That every step of high surprise,
But left me lowlier in your eyes;
/ watched the distance as it grew,
And loved you better than you knew
Your life's high aim, your acts high truth
Have kept the promise of your youth,
And While you won the crown that now
Breaks into bloom upon your brow,
My soul cried loudly out to you
Across the oceans yearning blue,
While aforementioned and afar,
L
Through darkness struggling into blue,
And. loved you better than you knew
l used to dream in all those years
OF patient faith and silent tears,
That LoUe's strong hand would draw aside
The barrier of place and PRIDE
Would reach the painless darkness through,
And draw me safely up to you.
But that is past,-if you should stray
Beside my grave some future day.
Perhaps the violets DER my dust,
Will half betray their buried trust
And say, their blue eyes filled with dew,
She loved you better than you knew.
You did not see the bitter trace
OF anguish sweep across my face;
You did not hear my proud heart beat,
Heavy and slow beneath your feet.
You thought Of triumphs still unwon,
OF glorious deeds as yet undone;
And 1.-The while you talked to me,
Watched the gulls fiat lonesomely,
Till lost amid the heavenly blue.
And loved on better than you knew.
You walk the sunny side of fate,
The wise world smiles and calls you great;
The golden fruitage of success
Drops at you feet in Righteousness,
And you have blessings manifold,
Honor and fame, and power and gold,
They build a wall between us twain,
Which may not be thrown down again,
Alas! for the long years through,
Have loved you better than you knew.

A SERIOUS BUsINEss.-Girls talk all
alike about marriage, as though it was a
jubilee, gladstone thing, rose without a
thorn; and so it is, if all is right, if they
go about it as rational beings, instead of
merry making children. It is a serious
thing to marry. 1t is a life bushes. There
fore never do it in haste; never run away
to get married; never.marry for wealth Or
standing, or fine person, or manners, but
for the qualities of the mind. Take time,
think long and well before you accept any
PROPOSAL Consult your parents, then
some judicious friend, then your own judg-
ment. Learn all that is possible for you
to learn OF your proposed husband. When
all doubts have been removed, and not till
then, accept him.

PRAYERs.-Prayers need not be fine. 1
believe God abhors fine prayers. If a per-
son ask charity of you in elegant senten-
ces he is not likely to get it. Finery in
dress or language is out of place in beg
CARS. l heard a man in the street one day
begging aloud by means of a magnificent

very pompous style, and 1 dare say he
thought he was sure of getting piles of
coppers by his borrowed speech; but I, for
one, gave him nothing, but felt more in.
clined to laugh at his bombast. Is it not
likely that many great prayers are about
as useless ? Many prayer-meeting prayers
are great deal too fine. Keep your figures
and metaphors and parabolical expressions
for your fellow creatures. Use them to
those who want to be instructed, but do
not parade them before God. When we
pray, the simpler our prayers are, the bet
ter; the plainest, humblest language which
expresses our meaning is the best Spur
qeOn.

RELIEF FOR BURNING FEET.-To re-
lieve burning feet, first discard tight boots;
then take one pint Of bran and one ounce
bicarbonate of soda, put in a pail, and add
one gallon of hot water; when cool enough
soak your feet in the mixture Is minutes.
The relief is instantaneous. This must be
repeated every night for a week, or perhaps
more. The bran and bicarbonate should
be made fresh after a weeks use. The
burning sensation is produced by the pores
of the skin being closed, so that the feet
do not perspire.

will answer, but syrup made from sugar is
preferable, as it dries quicker. For use,

QUIETNEss No one condition is of so
much immediate Importance to the sick,
not even fresh air, as profound silence and
freedom from all excitement and tumult;
and If all else be right and this be wanting
it may prove fatal to the patient; for every
sharp noise, every jar, every rattle, and
every sound, low or loud, pleasant or I'M
pleasant, arouses the nervous system, ex-
hausts the vitality, and accelerates the
progress of the patient to the grave. And
especially is this true of infants and small
children, who are more sensitive and less
enduring than adults. We are fully con-
WINGED that thousands of infants are an
nually sent to the grave by the noise and
tumult of the room in which they are
placed, who would have recovered without
any medical treatment whatever, had per-
feet silence prevailed around them.

To KEEP NAILS FROM RUsTING, Heat
a quantity of them on a shovel, and throw
them, while hot, into vessel Of coarse oil
or melted greese. The nails should not
be so hot that the grease will be made to
smoke freely. Cut nails prepared in this
manner are improved in every respect
They are rendered tougher, and they will
outlast any kind of wood, even though
buried in the ground; while unprepared
nails are completely destroyed by rust in a
very short time. Probably melted para
fine would be still better than ordinary
grease, as it forms avery effectual coating,
penetrating the pores and preventing the
access of air or moisture.

WATER IN THE cara timely warn
ing. to those about to enjoy the summer
luxury of sea bathing, is given in the
s'Medical Record by DR.. Rexton, of the
New York Ear Infirmary. He finds salt
water to be peculiarly irritating to the del
icate membrane of the inner ear, while
cold fresh waster may be equally injurious.
Every year hundreds of people are sent to
the infrmary for treatment whose trouble
has arisen from getting water into their
ears while bathing, or from catching cold
in the ears at such times. He recommends
as precaution the plugging of the ears
with cotton before entering the water, par
ticularly surf bathing.

STRONG BUTTON HoLEs.-Moihers who
sometimes buy cheap ready-made garments
for their families, or who ''put out'' part
of their sewing. are often annoyed by the
weakness of the button holes, which break
out on very slight provocation. In making
button holes on drawer bands or aprons,
or where they are likely to get torn out,
strengthen them before working the edge.
by sewing long stitch from one end of,
the slit to the other, on each side, sewing a
stitch several times across the end where
the strain comes. This is more important
than the use of very coarse thread with
out strengthening lines. Tailors have
another way of siren gthening their button
holes on cloth, but am not now compe-
tent to give their process exactly. I am
only thinking of the little garments to be
worn by children who turn summersaults,
climb trees and fences, and chase and
catch each other.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

| PORCELAIN-EDGED TABLE MATs.-For
these pretty and tasteful affairs the requis-
ties are some stiff pasteboard, scarlet fan
mel or merino, and a quantity OF the COM
| mon, white porcelain buttons of several
sizes (which might be purchased by the
gross in assorted siZes.) For a pitcher and
goblets mat twenty-five by ten inches is
needed, but the six mats for the centre of
the table may be of sizes similar to those
rather larger than the pasteboard foqnda-
ton, to fold over an inch or so. A straight
row of buttons is now firmly seWed around
the extreme edge with scarlet or white
silk or cotton, taking the stitches through
the pasteboard, which holds the cloth firm
ly in place. Next design is made with
buttons of various Sizes and according to
fancy, even pretty, Grecian, key pattern
being capable of accomplishment by using
the tiny variety only one-tenth of an inch
in diameter Tor, the smallest size made.)
But very beautiful patterns, such as dia-
monds--a star-like cluster with central
and six surrounding ones, three perpendic-
ular and two on each side the central one,
and rows Of three sizes, will all be found
pretty; but they may be increased ad inf
1aitasna. When sewed on with white the APP
pearance is pure dead white, like carved
ivory, but the scarlet imparts gay, BRILL
ant look that is very pleasing. After all
the buttons are sewed on, the mats are
lined with glazed muslin cut to fit them,
and hemmed or stitched neatly around the
extreme edge. If preferred, a little edge
may be crotcheted with scarlet zephyr. and
sewed round the border; scarlet, serpen"
tine braid, crocheted with white, or white
with scarlet, looks well for this purpose.
