Inexpensive Living.

A subjectIvery much agitated just now
is the problem, how to live within
ono's income. GLOW to make ends
meet" is pressing question. Appear
ances must be kept up, people think,
and to do this life is made a burden.
If we would put appearance" aside
and substitute comfort for show, con-
venience for fashion, how much hap
pier we would be!
1t is not necessary in order to live
meanly. To be sure, we have to do
without great many pretty and eX.
pensive trifes which wealthy people
have, but we can bejust as happy
without them. So much love. sinceri-
ty and kindness can be put into the
simple, that its members will scarcely
miss the snowy adornments. The
true comforts of life cost little money.
Where one has taste and refinement,
the simplest home may show the inn
press of these, and the people may be
much happier in small cosy apart
ments than their richer neighbors are
in their handsome establishments.
It is we'll to begin low down. Those
who start at the top of the ladder
sometimes tumble of, while those
who are content to begin at the foot
generally acquire strength and courage
as they proceed. Let us be brave
enough to set fashion Of simplicity,
neatness and ineXpeDsiveness, and
many will be glad to fellow and thank
us for setting the example.-Canadian
Queen. -..- o.. .-.-

Badness.

The hair, like every other portion Of
the human frame, ifuncared for will
go to waste and eventually drop ont:
This is due to splitting Of the ends
of the hair, SO thatthe interior oil duct,
which nourishes the hair is exposed,
and the natural nourishment of the
hair runs to waste, overfows upon the
head, forming dandruff, which impe-S
des the groth of the hair just as much
as the tares among the wheat. The
best means to prevent this is q strength
ening of the hair, and this can easily
be accomplished by frequent cutting
and they use Of salt and water and VAS;
cline. Have you ever noticed what
bushy hair sea-faring men have? Did
you ever see q bald sailor? 1t is be-
cause their hair is In constant contact
with the invigorating salt air, and of
ten wet with salt water. A good tonic.
of salt water should contain teas
poonful of salt to q tumbler of water,
and should be applied to the hair two
or three times week. 49,
The effect at the end of a month
will be surprising. lex.

A New Household.

When two people stand before the
hymeneal altar and are made one a
new household is created. 1t is differ
ent from the houshold in which the
bride grew up, different also from that
which claimed the bridegroom. 1t
has its own inherent, fundamental, es-
sential requirements, and its peculiar
laws based on these peculiar require
ments. No one but the newly made
husband and wife can know these re-
quirements and these laws, and even
they must wait till time reveals what
their laws shall be. A stranger can
not intermeddle Herewith, and every
body outside the dual unit is a
stranger.
It is we'll for the newly welded pair,
therefore, to have for the first year or
two, at least, home entirely to them
selves, in order that they may get ac-
quainted with each other in this rela-
ton, which changes man not less than
woman, and adjust themselves to thier
new environment. They may each
and both take counsel of friends, and
they will probably find no lack of good
advice; but they are the court from
which there should be no appeal.
They must decide what shall be, or no
permanent decision can ever be reach
ed.
If the yonng husband and wife have
each father and mother living, there
will be at least four people who will, 4,
unless they are very wise, wish to
have a fore -fnger(and perhaps all
four fingers) in the new deal. That
will make six separate persons for each
member of the dual unit to consult
and please. The husband will natur-
ally want to please his wife, himself,
his father and mother, and his wife's
father and mother; and the same is
true of the wife. Both pairs of par
ents will want to be pleased whether
their children are or are not. Don't
they know what their son or their
daughter should do and be? Haven't
they known ever since the birth of said
son or daughter what was good for him
or her? Perhaps before marriage
changed the two. yes after that, no..
If parents could wait till their ad-
vice is asked by the newly welded, if
then they could be contented to have
it accepted or rejected by those who
ask it, matters would crystalline q
great deal more quickly aud regularly
than they do where impatience pre-.
vents patient waiting. The child
learing to walk falls down many times
before it can balance itself perfectly,
and this is type of man in all his
undertakings. BY the mistakes they
make the newly welded will learn
their way far more surely and effect
ualIy than they can learn it by the
interference of interested friends.

Rev. Charles Garrett, speaking re-
Gently at Bedford, asked why is it that
Liverpool is described as "the black

because the drink traffic reigns su-

have in that city alone twenty-three
miles of drink shops.

The God of Hope.
E.. 7.

"A noted public man recently an
nounced himself as always an opti-
mist.n Such temper is specially be-
coming to one protesting godliness.
He who would be godlike must be
hopeful: God is "the God of hope"
He is never cast down =; knows moth
ing of despair. The word failure is
not found in his vocabulary. He is
undisturbed by what men call disap-
pointments. He never knew reverse.
Scripture represents him as turning
the sin Of man into an opportunity.
He is willing to walt, but never wav-
ers. As the predict servant Of Jeho-
yah, it was said of Him, ''He shall
not be discouraged" AS the mediate.
rial King, He is ever expecting till
His foes be made the footstool of His
feet.n In the life Of His incarnation
though he was a man of sorrows, there
was ever a "joy set before Him."
When the visible fortune Of the Son
of Man was at its lowest ebb, the
light of hope kindled in His face, and
He had uplifting and sustaining Wis.,
ions of q triumphant future. When
.to-day's environment was dark he
made "Hereaftern the keynote OF bis
speech. So also the communicating
Spirit is Spirit of hope. The love OF
God which be sheds abroad in the
heart is the love that "hopeth, bear
eth, endureth oil things" Despair Is
the proof of His absence. Despon-
dency and His active presence are in
compatiable. A hopeless God is con-
tradiction in terms.
No Christian man can rightly be a
pessimist. So far as he despairs he is
unchristian. He has no right to de-
spair of himself. 81 can do all things
through Christ who strengtheneth
mel is not a word for Paul alone, but
a word that every believing Christian
ought to dare to speak. There is no
self-conquest that is impossible to q
determined will and a believing heart.
Nor has any child of God the right to
despair of his circumstances. In suft-
ering he has the hope of glory in
present "grevious chastening'' he has
expectation of the "fruit of righteous
nessn to be developed from it. The
disaster that by itself might bring dis,
couragement, he is assured, shall
"work together" with the prosperity
that bred delight and the issue shall
be only "good." When darkness
shuts him in he has but to think OF
God, to remember His nearness, ana
'even the night shall be lig BIT about
him." In death he has to cheer him
the diving hope" of resurrection from
the dead.
How can the man of faith despair
of the kingdom of God in the earth?
With his Bible in his hands. and the
Christ revealed there vindicateJ by
the history of nearly twenty centuries,
can any sane man believe that the is,
sue of the conflict between Sin and
Love is doubtful? Wide as the "com-
pass that is fetched" every stage of
the progress furnishes new proof,
THAT what began best can't end worst;
Nor what God blessed once prove accurst"

His hand happened to be very dirty
Kn .ng this, on his way to the teach
er's desk he spat upon the palm of his
right hand, wiping it off on the side OF
his pantaloons. "Give me your hand,
sir,n said the teacher, very sternly.
Out went the right hand, partly clean
ed. The teacher looked at it u moment,
and said, "Daniel, it you will find a.
mother hand in this school-room as Ill.
thy as that, 1 willlet you offthis time"
Instantly from behind his back came
the left hand. "Here it is sir" was
the ready reply. That will do this
time,n said the teacher; 'you can take
your seat, sir."-Selected.
