because it is vastly more profitable to

the conversation he is pretty sure TO

The use of fur ON garments other
than outer wraps is a part OF the Rus
sianism that has come upon us so sud-
denly Since the magazines and
newspapers lately took to Russian and
Siberian subjects, and there has been
show of paintings by famous Russian
artist, the very questionable fancy of
fashion has turned whimsically to Rus
sia for inspiration. Dresses for indoor
wear are therefore adorned with the
furs of warmth, although the strips of
sable. beaver, or even monkey skin are
apt to come right along side of bare
necks and arms. - Daisy Dart, IN

that the acid does not run off the

The truth is that a man can better
afford to sacrifice his dinner daily for
a year than live without hope for a
week. What phrase is more COM
mon in our mouths than the simple
but sinnifcative 81 hope?" Nor is
there any human being, howsoever
forlorn in material possessions, how
soever afflicted, who was not origi-
nally endowed with this capacity of
hope. Go to the hospitals, where
one might suppose it were easy to
find despair in many aspects. The
doctor will whisper to you that this
or that invalid is doomed, and that
he can not, by all the evidence of
human foresight and experience, live
one day more. "Well, and how are
you"' you say to the sick man, and
perhaps you can not help betraying
in your tone the pity you feel for
him, thus lowering between two
worlds, about one of which alone,
the one is leaving, you are able to
assure yourself that ssyou know any,
thing decisive. 80 much BETTER he
replies, with strong hope in his voice
and eyes. 81 think i shall soon be

Gone day." said DR.. Clemmance,
81 was climbing a mountain of the
Alpine range, near the boundary line
between France and Switzerland.
By and by we came upon snow and
icicles and all the usual attendants
in the train of winter, but when we
got higher we found delightful flow
ers blooming in all the beauty of
floral loneliness. [ said to myself,
How is this? Down yonder are icicles
and snow; up here are these eXquis-
lite flowers. The secret of the mat
ter was that this part of the noun
tain had southern aspect and faced
the sun, while the other was turned
from it. Even so it is with ourselves.
When our hearts are turned toward
him who is the fountain of love and
marvellous spiritual beauty we bring
forth the fruits and the flowers of
Christian character and show the
world what a blessed and beautiful
thing it is to be a disciple of Christ.
1t is when our affections and thoughts
are turned from him that the graces
which would otherwise abound in us
languish and die"

Put on the Buffers.

Did you ever notice the way in
which train of cars are fastened to-
gether? At the end of each car is a
bolt, which slides in and out little
way, to which is hooked another bolt
inst like it on the next car. When
the engine backs and the two cars
come together they do not strike with
a hard bump, jolting the passengers
out of their seats; but the two fas-
Jennings meet, each slides in few
inches, breaking the force of the
blow, and the two cars come together
easily and gently. These slides are
called buffers, because they buff each
other and save the cars from many a
bump. Now do you know that ev-
erybody can carry with him buffer,
which will help him to avoid hard
hits with other people? That buffer
Is kindness. A kind word. spoken
gently, even in answer to an unkind
one; kind action, seeking the good

full of love, will make all around us
friendly and fill the world with sun

went out of prison to become
prince. If he had moped and sulked
in Potiphar's house, as he had some
reason for doing, or had sat down in
the prison cross and snapish, do yon
suppose he wonld ever have risen to
greatness No, with all his ability,
but for his kindness, and cheerful,
helpful spirit, you and l would never
have heard of his name. Kindness
will often succeed where eminent
ability will fail.-Raleigh Christian

he met his wife that evening she saw
at once that great change had TAX

Helpful Hints.

A brush is efficient aid in dressing
potatoes.
Dampen small starched articles by
laying in wet cloth.
To preserve steel from rust, heat
the steel and rub with paraffine.
Too little water is less injurious to
house plants than too much.
It is essential to health that clothes
from the laundry be thoroughly dry.
A bit of soda or saltpeter in the
water is preservative of the freshness
of cut flowers.
Vaseline or butter applied to the
skin Immediately after a blow pre-
vents discoloration.
Keep nickle bright by rubbing with
whiting mixed with kerosene, then with
a piece of clean flannel.
When the stove polish is moistened
with vinegar or strong soapsuds the
luster is readily produced.
The frost can be removed from
windows by wiping with a flannel
wrung from hot water containing al
cehol.
To receive temporary relief when
afflicted with catarrh, sniff powdered
borax three times a day, or sailed
water.
For cold that effects the lungs,
wiring out flannel in boiling water,
sprinkle turpentine, and apply to the
chest.
Rub rusty steel article with kero-
sene oil and wrap in a cloth saturated
with kerosene for day, then scour
with emery and finish with rotten
stone.
Alum dissolved in impure water in
the proportion of half a grain to a
gallon will not only precipitate vege-
table matters but destroy numberless
bacteria, it is stated.

To Mothers.

AS the pleasant Christmas time ap-
proaches, mothers are puzzled about
presents for their children, and |
think few hints to them may not
allow the spending of much money,
especially if the father is out of work,
as is the case with many this winter:
still mothers can, themselves, make
inexpensive gifts that will often
please children longer than costly
ones. A neighbours child, who has
three dolls, likes her black "Sukey"
best, because no one troubles her
while playing with it. She takes it
by the head, arm or leg, throws it at
the cat, or on the floor, sits down on
it, or sits in her rocker singing to it,
and seems to care more for her rag
baby because she is never told to be
careful of it, or watched as when
playing with her dolls. Children an.
ticipate so much pleasure at Christ
mas that they ought not be disapoint-
ed; no parents should fail of making
some preparation for their enjoyment
The little stockings must be filled,
and one can make doughnuts and
cookies in various shapes-boys, girls,
pigs, dogs, etc., etc. Cornballs, nut
candy in squares, sticks of home
made sugar and molasses candy will
help the filling. A pound of confec-
tionary is enough to put in a half
dozen stockings, SO the outlay will
be small if an orange to each stock
ing be added.
For little two year-old wind a
small sleigh bell, or a small sleigh
bell, or little tin box with beans in
it, with yarn ravellings, and cover
the outside with flannel Of two colors
cut in the shape of quarters of orange
peel. Make pigs, rabbits, and dogs,
of white cotton flannel, elephants and
mice of grey flannel, using black
beads for eyes.
A picture-b book that cannot easily
be torn, though handled ever so
roughly, is made of scarlet cambria
leaves with pretty pictures pasted ON
them.
A little girl of six or seven would
be greatly pleased with large rag
doll made of black silesia. Dress
her in blue cambria with an orange
colored apron, scarlet cambria sash
and red slippers. Make small one
for its baby, and dress it in red fan
mel and white bib.
DlssECTED MAPS AND PICTURES
These can be made cheaply and will
please large children. Get some
bright colored maps and pictures,
paste them on boxboard and when
dry cut them up in all shapes, using
a very sharp knife.
I'll tell you how to make the Christ
mas breakfast table look pretty.
Make pies on very small plates,
sprinkle with sugar, and write each
child's name on Christmas card,
and place beside or on top of the pie.
Make two Christmas cakes if the
family is large. The cake need not
be rich the one egg cake given in
a former article is good enough, and
better than rich cake for children.
Bake the cake in a round, deep, seal
Hoped tin. When you have it ready
for the oven, butter a small bowl,
and set in the center of the batter.
After baking, frost the cake, and fill
the cavity with nuts, candies and
raisins. If evergreen is handy, place
some around the cake.-Erchdnge
