Self in Work.

a quality of consecrated power is in
dicated by the wings with which, in
the vision of the seraphim, each seraph
covered his feet, or indeed, his whole
person. This quality of elf-effacement
or self-forgetfulness enters into all good
work, and, most of all, into the best.
A great work apparently does itself
Some day the humble doer awakens
is famous, and he himself is astonished.
He only knew that there was a great
wrong to resist, and he had no choice
but to be at it, So men have conducted
themselves in battle the fortress must
be taken and the sally made, and it
was done without thought of glory.
The loss of this quality of self-forget-
fulness spoils good work. The gov
ernor of state is going on nobly with
measures of public beneficence; he
holds the peoples confidence, until
some day they perceive he is calculating
the value of his own policy for his own
political ends. A friend comes to adj
wise with me, and take his admonitinn
as precious balm, his concentrations as
proof of his affection until he ruins all
that he has said with one lurid flash of
self-consciousness, showing that he is
thinking chiefly of his own wisdom and
superiority. Efface yourself if you
would have your work stand, DO it, as
it only can be done, by standing in the
presence of God. Yet this self-efface-
ment is also represented in the vision
of wings. Self must be lost behind the
activity of self. There is no other way
to become unconscious but to lose ones
self in his work. 1t is not because
men make so much of their work, but
because they make so little of it, that
they can not forget themselves in it
" Yonder is myself without the incon-
venience of myself" said Lacordaire,
when his brother monk was elevated
over his head. In the sick-room where
souls are learning patience, as well as
in active callings where they are learn
ing diligence, is there way opened to
forget self in the calling of God. Phil.

Couldn't Afford 1t.

1t was on Broadway car, one of the
pleasant, sunny days last week. The
car was crowded. AT one of the fortes
a lady entered, and Immediately became
the center of observation She wore a
light gray satin underskirt, with polo
naise of black satin, the waist trimmed
deliberately with jet; PREDETERMINED
hat, with long black feathers, completed
a toilet that could not fail to attract
attention, especially on pretty woman,
as the wearer was. AS she left the car &,
a tall, dignifed woman, whose dress
and. manner bore every evidence of
good breeding, in response to her com
panion's query, Why did not that
woman take Il carriage?" answered,
" A carriagel why, the poor thing used
all her money for her clothes" Proba-
bly, true. The women who can afford
to own such costume can afford to
own dress suited to street wear
they are not forced to compromise tot
lets that must be worn on all occa-

The Use of Hot Water.

The application of hot water to the
surface, for the relief of pain, is an old
and well-tried remedy. The medical
profession now universally recognizes
its value. AT the commencement of
cold the mucous membrane of the
nostris often so swells as to prevent
the passage of air through them, and
the person is compelled to breathe
through the mouth. The discomfort
may be often removed by holding the
feet in quite hot water Many severe
headache can be relieved in the same
way. Pain in the bowels may be miti-
gated or removed by applying to them
rubber bags of hot water, or folds of
wooden cloths wrung out from hot
water-as hot as can be borne. The
same thing is true of faceache, ear
ache, and most of aches and pains.
The principal on which the relief de-
ponds is known as couuter-irritant.
The pains in each case are due to a
congested state of blood vessels-that
is, the vessels are unduly distended
with blood, and thus press upon and
irritate the neighboring nerves. The
hot water, by getting up an irritation at a
distance, enlarges the capillaries in that
part and thus turns the blood thither,
relieving the pressure at the points of
pain. The quantity of blood diverted =,
say from the head to the feet, by plung-
ing the latter in hot water, may be seen
in their exceeding redness, every one
of their million capillares being dis
tended and crowded with blood

Horticultural Notes,

SWEET PEA SEED, soaked in water
twenty-four hours and sown as soon as
the ground is fit to work will give early
flowers.
A FEW plants of the perennial phlox
should be in every garden. Some of
those now in cultivation are remarkable
for their fine colorings and freedom of
growth and Towering.
LATANIA BoRBoNICA is one of the
finest plants for home culture. 1t en-
dures with impunity the dry atmospherr
of the sitting-room and maintains a
glossy green color to the leaves, even
in rooms not having much light.
DIANTHUs LACINIATUs-The single
form is a most beautiful plant for out
of-door decoration. We had some
| flowers which measured three inches
in diameter, and of the most perfect
shape in our garden last summer, and
liked them much better than the large
ill-shaped double ones.
WHOEVER has not a plant of n.y.
drangea, paniculata, grandihora, most
beautiful of all shrubs, in his garden
should not let this spring pass without
having one. 1t is easily grown, per-
fectly hardy and flowers every season.
Give it good rich spot, with open ex-
posure, and it will soon make a fine
specimen.
Do not leave the sowing of such an.
nuals as phlox drummondi, candy-tuft
dianthus, mignouette and other hardy
ANNALS until late. They should be at
tended to as soon as the early peas
are sown. Sown thus early, they make
a better growth, last much longer in
flower and the flowers are larger and
of better substance. boston Globe.

Our Homes.

We all recognize difference in the
atmosphere of the homes we visit and
their influence upon us. We come
away from some places refreshed, with
sense of having taken a step upward,
and as though our souls had come in
contact with some refining process,
while from others we come out de-
pressed, and dissatisfied with the world
in general and ourselves in particular.
OF course it is the people who create
this atmosphere that give character to
the home. Kindly, cordial, sympathetic
ways, breezy little chats upon subjects,
and even about people in kindly man
ner, are often pleasant and profitable;
but / am thinking now of the atmos-
phere we create in our homes by its
furnishings, which really do much
towards making them places one loves
to visit. Nowadays one is apt to think
house can not be pleasantly furnished
without great expense. Now this is
far from true. We have all been in
houses where the furniture was elegant
and costly, the bric-a-brac beautiful
and rare, and yet they somehow lack
social warmth-that "grace of touch
which is the inspiration of a woman's
hand, and which goes far toward
making of home the earthly paradise it
was intended to be. | know a room, in
which have passed many delightful
hour of winters day, whose princi-
pal charm consists in its books and
wide, deep fireplace. Easy, comfort
able chairs room must have, and
few pictures and fancy articles, such as
some member in almost every family
can make. These, with books lying
round in careless grace, will make
almost any room pleasant. Sunshine
and bright colors are great factors in
making rooms attractive. When wall
papers are plain and of neutral tints a
great deal of color can be put in the
decorations of a room. Flowers have
wonderfully pleasing effect and their
beauty and fragrance give an air of
grace and refinement. A dollar or two
sent to Wick will supply you with
flowers for decorative purposes the year
round. Doubtless there are other re-
liable firms, but we know this to be. A
few geraniums, heliotrope, pink, white
and yellow oXalis, with Chinese prim-
rose, have made my winter of dis
content glorious summer" For gar
den culture who can not have pansies,
sweet peas, nasturtiums and mignon-
cite; yes, and candy tuft? All summer
long they will furnish you with fresh
delights for house decoration of the
highest order. Some of our common
field flowers will adorn and give grace
to any room. A basket of common
field daisies, how lovely they are And
what can glorify room of dull au-
tumnal day more than a mass of green
leaves, golden rod, purple asters and
scarlet berries? 1t is condensed sun
shine. BY the way, how would golden
rod do for our national flower? | am
told its golden plumes wave in nearly
every state in the Union. We certainly
ought to have one. The trouble is we
have too many to choose from. Why
not ask our presidents wife to make a
selection, and thus settle the matter at
once?

She had a little trunk full of pict-

very often. She liked to look at them
when she could not think of anything
else to do.
She carried Ida May and Muff with
her. Ida May was her doll, and Muff
was her make-beleve woody dog,
She sat them beside the trunk and
said, "Now, | want you to be very

And they were still, neither of

Good Humor's Visit to Cross
Frankie.

Once upon time there was little
boy whose name was Frank. He was
good boy generally, and had plenty
of toys, such as nine-pihs, blocks,
drums, a boy doll, lovely horse,
and he liked to play with all those
things and scatter them over the floor,
which his mamma allowed him to do
all day, until evening. Then mamma
said; "Now, Frankie, pick up your
toys and put them in the drawer"
But frankie, being tired and little
cross, would say with pout:
III don't want to put them away.
Mamma, pick them up"
Well, one evening Frankie was sit
ting on the carpet with his toys all
around him, when there was a brisk
'rat-a-tat' at the door, and in walked
little man who said:
"Good evening, Frank. Why,
what is the matter? You look so cross.
! see you don't know me today. Ny
name is Good Humor.o
Frankie said, II don't want to
pick up all these thing every evening""
Then Good Humor laughed and
said, "Well, l will have to introduce
you to two friends of mine. | expect
them here every minute
While he was yet speaking there
came "rat-a-tat" at The door, and
in walked two little gentlemen. One
of them went to Frank and said:
"Good evening, Frank; my name
is Cheerfulness. Allow me to intro
duce you to my friend, Work. We
have called this evening to help you
put away your toys in their proper
places for tonight. Come show us
the drawer"
"Here it isl said Good Humor,
with laugh.
$50 Frank went with Cheerfulness
to work, and they piled up the toys
on Works back, and put them away
in the drawer very carefully. Then
Good Humor shouted:
"Hurrah, hurrah!" and Cheerful.
ness shook hands with Frank and
Work said:
GOOD evening. / am going to
bed;' and they all went away and
left Frank laughing.
Dear little boys and girls, whenever
you feel cross or sulky, and don't
wish to oboy your parents, call upon
Good Humor and Cheerfulness, and
they will help you with your work.
