PETTY JEALOUSlES.


Only Small Souls and Narrow 41nds VIII
Permit Fhelr Indulgence.
There are few things in the world
more deadly to the happiness Of the in
dividual and community at large than
the indulgence of petty personal jeal-
ousies. There is nothing more un-
called-for, nothing more narrowing to
body, soul and spirit, than the con-
slant irritation that such littleness
gives rise to. Because some one re-
ceivcs more notice than some one else;
because ones confidential friend ex-
presses pleasupe in the society Of an
other; because there is evident gratifi-
cation in such society, the gree en-eyed
monster immediately goes to work,
and there are heart-burnings, little
malicious remarks, half-told truths
that are worse than the most infamous
falsehoods, and all of the thousand and
one little petty bits of spite that no one
knows SO well how to indulge n the
Jealous soul.
To have ones pleasure destroyed be-
cause some friend receives attention;
to embitter ones days and nights BE-
cause some agreeable thing is said or
done for an outsider, and TO allow
these sentiments to wo9k in the heart
until it changes the entire character Of
the individuals Is one Of the most pitt
full sights in the world.
It must, indeed, be small soul that
can 20 narrow itself; an infnitesimsl
mind that is capable Of little acts Of
this sort Il takes but triAin1 sddi-
tional provocation TO permit mirepre-
sentation and falsehood, all Of which
seems sometimes to be justified by the
individual who indulRes in it, unless.
indeed, it Is done with reckless disre.
gard for the consequences either to the
victim or the one who Is guilty Of such
ungenerous and unchyistiap behavior.

SUMMER BEDDING.

Few Helpful Saggestions for the Warm
Days to Come.
Very few housckeepers now make
any change in their winter and sum-
u,er bedding. The hair mattress is
generally conceded to be the most
wholesome for winter as well as sum-
mer use. Many people prefer hair
bolster, especially in summertime. to
the old-time feather bolster. which is
condemned by the best authorities as
heating to the head.
Within the last decade various fra
grant pillows have been introduced.
Some nervous sleepers find that pillows
Of the balsam fir will induce a restful
sleep. The fragrance Of the balsam
tends to soothe the nerves in the same
way that the fragrance of lavender
does, and it was probably due to some
such idea rs this that the herb Law
ender was always carefully dried
by the old-timc housekeeper to strew
among the sheets and pillow-cases. Ac-
cording to some hygienic authorities
the natural wool Of the camel, which
grows under the hair about the neck
and forelegs, makes an especially soft,
cool and wholesome pillow. Although
it has . slight natural odor, it il not 1t
all disagreeable on that account.
For summer bedcovering, . light
blanket Of pure wool is certainly the
first choice, where the cost is not q
matter Of moment. Next in choice to
this Is . light comfortable made Of
wool or patent cotton, which Is SIMPLY
. good quality Of cotton held together
BY stitches, so that IL may be easily
unrolled in sheets Of even thickness to
make comfortables. The best covering
for these comfortables is . silkoline,
or hne, firm cheesecloth. which ID
tied down with bright-colored worst
eds. The old-fashioned comfortable,
tied down with heavy cotton tufts, is
completely = thing Of the past. The
edge Of the comfortable is generally
turned In, run together and button
hole stitched with worsted to match
the tufting. A linen pillow-cass and

to one Of linen on the ground that It Is
more wholesome.
