My Rules for Living.

l am no doctor or pill vendor, yet
have good long life and happy one.
May | not, therefore, just give my
simple rules for health In hopes that
some traveller Oh the up Or down hill of
life may look ut them and be benefited
by them. / have practiccd them for
many years and they have done mo
good; thoy may 10 good to others.
They are inexpensive and may be easily
abandoned, IL thoy cause any harm.
l. Keep III the sunlight rs much rs
possible. A plant wi II not thrive with
out the sunbeam much less man.
IL. Breathe as much fresh air as
your business will permit. This makes
fresh blood; but 1t Is never found In
the four walls of your building. Be-
meath the open sky, just there, and on
ly there, it comes to you.
III. Be strictly temperate. You
cannot break organic law, or any other
law, with impunity.
~. Keep the feet always warm and
tho head cool. Disease and death be.
gin ut the feet moro commonly than we
think.
V. Eat white bread when you can,
not get brown bread.
VI. 1t OUT Of order see which Of the
above rules you have not observed
then rub yourself all over with a towel
saturated with salt water and wei
dried and begin upon the rules again.
VII. Look ever on the bright, which
Is the heaven side Of life. This is fal
( better than Il medicine.
These seven simple rules, good fol-
the valid or invalid, If rightly observed
would save, apprchcnd, a deal of pain
prolong life, and so far as health goes
make 1t worth tho having.

Progress of Invention.

A western dealer has Invented q de-
Vice to prevent market men palmlng off
old eggs for fresh ones. The invention Is
thus desert bed: Ie proposes to ar
range a rubber stamp IN the nest of
every hen, with movable date. This
STAN p Is arranged with pad which is
saturated with indelib le ink. When the
hen lays an egg, as Is woll known she
kicks alightly with her hind leg, Ad
electric disk is arranged 30 that hor
foot touches 1t, when the stamp turns
over on to the ink pad, and then re-
volved, stamping tho date on the egg.
The hen then goes of about her busl-
ness, tho farmers hired girl removes
the egg, replaces tho stamp, which is
ready for Another. On each evening,
after the hen have retired to their
2.downy roost, with the rooster, the date
of the stamp Is changed to the follow
ing day, and tho good work goes on.
& In this way there can be no cheating.

How to SnYo III tho Household

A practical question, surely, In these
days, and one in which many are inter-
ested, whether sufficiently so rs to bene-
The first step In saving Is to go to mar
ket yourself. Toll the grocery boy not
to come again, and put on your bonnet
and shawl after breakfast, and 60 out
and buy what you need for the day.
At the end Of tho month your expenses
will have been lessencd and your table
improved. "How?" BY going to the
market you sec whatever fresh fruit or
vegetables arc there; you can often buy
cheep picco Of meat that Is sweet and
good, and by cooking it in an appetiz-
ing way, add TO your list of vegetables,
make nice dessert, and your dinner
| will not have cost as much as formerly,
when every days dinner seemed alike.
Another way to save Is to give up buy
ing ut retail anything that can be
bought ut wholesale; then ta!lo the
money saved and put it away, as if it
did not exist. The idea Is wrong one,
that economy means parsimOny. One
OF the surest ways to savc Is to have
every dish we'll cooked, that nothing Is
to be thrown away as worthless. We're
all the money saved that Is thrown out
by unseasoned vegetables, undcrdone
or Ovordonc meats, burned cakes aid
pies, scorchcd oatmeal and rice, many
dollars would bo added to tho savings
of the house. You say, GLOW can |
help lt?" you cannot afford cook,
sec 70 these things yourself. Money is
wasted In little things more than In eX-
pensivc articles Of food, and If money
is an Item to you, 1t Is worth little
trouble. y fourth way to save money
Is to buy only the hcalthiest and best
rightly made, fr"sh fruits aud vegetables
dishes. BY setting before your family
good meats, well cooked, good bread,
thoy will be healthy and save you
,,octor's bill Of two or more dollars a
visit. Time as we'll rs money is saved
by having bill of fare for each day in
tho week, to be varied by times and
seasons. This saves the trouble of think
ing what to have next day. Another
way to save is by knowing just how to
use all that Is left from to-day's dinner.
a French cook will make bountiful
and enjoyable dinner Of what others
would throw away. Why should not
