connecting the two continents by q

been entertained by the Egyptians and

HumOr in the Family.

Good humor is rightly reckoned q
most valuable aid to happy home life.
An equally good and useful faculty is
Il sense Of humor or the capacity to
have little fun along with the hum
drum of life. We all know how it
brightens things up generally to have
a lively, witty companion, who sees
the ridiculous points of things, and
who can turn any annoyance into an
occasion for laughter. 1t does great
deal better to laugh over some domes-
tic mishaps than to cry or scold over
them. Many homes and lives are dull
because they arc allowed to become
TOO deeply impressed with sense of
the care and responsibilities Of life
to recognize its bright and especially
its mirthful side. Into such house.
hold, good, but dull, the advent Of a
witty, humorous friend is like sun
shine to cloudy day. While it is
oppressive to hear people constantly
striving to say funny things, it is
comfortable, seeing what brightener
a little fun is, to make an effort to
have some at home. 1t is well to turn
off an impatient question sometimes
and to regard it from humorous point
of view, instead Of becoming irritated
about it. "What. what is the reason
l can never find clean shirtw ex-
claimed good but rather impatient
husband, after rumaging through the
wrong drawer. His wife looked at
him steadily for a moment, half in
clined to be provoked, then with a
comical look replied: 81 never could
guess conundrums; must give it up"
Then he laughed, and they both laugh
ed, and she went and got his shirt, and
he felt ashamed Of himself and he kiss
ed her, and then she felt happy; and
so what might have been an occasion
for hard words and unkind feelings
became just the contrary. Laughter
is better than tears. Let us have q lit
tie more at home.

Pure Fruit SiruDS.

A prominent druggist was asked about
the purity of so-called soda water and OF
the sirups used with them. 1T is two
thirds bogus" he replied. "Soda water
as usually prepared contains no soda, in
any form. Pure water with carbonic
acid gas is all that it is. Bicarbonate of
soda is sometimes used. Nearly every
druggist makes his own soda water, and
I know of one case in which the pro-
prietor Of large drug store has sunk an
artesian well for the purpose of having
plenty of water" "What about sir
ups ?" I'm most cases they are unfit
for drink, positively injurious, and very
often made from an inferior quality OF
drugs. The so-called pure fruit sirups
in nine cases out of ten do not contain 9
smell of the fruit they are supposed to
be made of but they are concocted with
so much skill as to deceive the sensitive
taste" How many soda water stands
are there in New York? ?" Thousands:

1900 glasses Of soda day last summer.

to US this evening; he is a poor, weak

A Water Filter.

Pure water is of great Importance
to the human family, and where the
advantages of good springs are not at
hand, and the water is impure, the
following cheap plan Of making q fl
ter, copied from a communication in
the Canada Farmer, may be of SER
vice:
Rain water is much healthier than
hard water az beverage, and the fol-
lowing will be found an easy and
cheap way to fit it for drinking pur-
poses: Have all oak tub made, hold
ing from half to barrel, according to
the amount needed in the family; let
it stand on end with faucet near the
bottom-or prefer hole through
the bottom near the front side, with q
tube in it, which prevents the water
from rotting the outside of the tub
Then put clean pebbles three or four
inches in thickness over the bottom of
the tub. Now have charcoal pulver-
lied to the size Of small peas (that made
from hard maple is the best), and put
in half bushel or 80 at time I; pound
it down quite firmly, and then put in
more and pound again until the tub is
filled to within eight inches Of the
top; again put on two inches more of
the pebbles, and then put piece of
clean white flannel over the whole
top as strainer.
The flannel can be washed OCCASION
ally to remove the impurities collect
ed from the water, and it might be
we'll TO put flannel between the peb-
bles and the bottom also. When the
charcoal becomes foul it can be re-
pewed as before, but will work a
whole season without renewing. Put
on your water freely until it becomes
clear, when you will be as
well satisfied as you would be if it
ran through a patent filter costing six
times as much as this. A large jar to
hold the filtered water can be set in
the ice box if preferred, OF an occa-
s.onal piece OF ice can be put in the
water; but if the filter is set in the
cellar, as it should be, the water will
be sufficiently cool for health. This
makes good cider filter, also-first

1rec it from the coarsest pOmace.

Shades and Shade Decoration.

Probably nothing will ever be offered
the trade in shade goods which so uni
versally fills the popular demand as Hol-
lands, so completely do tkay soften the
light and so durable are their wearing
properties. Of late years, however, a
great demand has arisen for painted pa
per shades, which for appearance are
very desirable.
The colorings and designs which can
be applied to paper are unlimited, and
the artists scope is unbounded by con-
ventionalities. The plain dado, which
was adopted short while back as fam
ciful ornamentation for the window
shade, is now succeeded by handmade
sketches. During the past few years
decorative efforts in every style of shade
goods have not been wanting, and in
some goods twining vines are curled up
over the sides and tops of the shades.
Transparencies Also have been intro
duced, which show pleasing effects from
outside as welfas inside the house.
The silk shade, although expensive
and easily disordered, is becoming more
and more used in rich decoration. 1t is
gathered in folds across the window, two
or more cords passing the folds to slat
at the bottom, and when these cords are
drawn up the curtain is gathered
shivred. Something embodying the
same principle has been offered the trade
in times past, by which the curtain is
drawn to the right or left, or up or down,
by means of enough cords and pulleya
to regulate full-rigged ship. The OBJ
ject of this idea was excellent, as by il
one could shut off the sun from which
ever corner of the window it was enter
ing, without shutting out at the same
time, as is now often the case, a great
deal of desirable lght.--Carpet Zrads
