Shutting Our Eyes.

Very miserable people are those
who 90 through tie world seeing TOO
much. They plume themselves npon
their ability, and proclaim everywhere
the wonderful secrets their sharp
,ightedness has discovered. They find
out small delinquences and triiiing OF
fences Of friends. neighbors, and SER
wants. We are not at all obliged to them
for What they reveal. On the contrary.
we are continually trembling lest our
own pet sin be brought To light, or our
friends dear little secret weakness ex-
posed. 1t is not hard to gain much
peace of mind by studying the art Of
judiciously shutting our eyes. Let US
refuse TO see too much of other peoples
errors and mistakes. Nay, more, let
US refuse to see anything except what
we wish to see. The way IS clear, the
circumstances are fortunate, people are
well meaning and Industrious. happi-
ness abounds, and We ourselves are on
the high-rold to fame and fortune.

Emergency Hints

If foreign substance enters the ear,
under no consideration use anything
to poke in the ear. Pour little sweet
oil into the ear and hold il there.
Should the foreign body be an insect it
will float to the top and can easily be
removed. Should il be a hard substance
a stream of warm water from a syringe
will soon drive it out, always holding
the affected side toward the floor.
Should these methods fail consult a
physician. Never probe the ear Many
people are suffering from great atillc
ton caused by thus iniuring the ear

Some Hints About Driving.


/
| Whether you drive single horse or
a team the principles are the same !; but
in driving pair see to it that each
horse does his share of the work, and
no more. A pair Of horses. moreover,
unless well driven, are sure to get in
the habit of wandering over the road
To drive well you must keep your
eye and your mind on the horse. Watch
his ears. They will be pricked for
ward when he is about to shy, droop
when he is tired, fly back just before
he 'hreaks" Onto a gallop), and be-
| fore he kicks. Before kicking, too, a
horse usually tucks in his tail, and
lunches his back little. When You
observe any of these indications, speak
to him sharply, and pull up his heard
Iou must watch the road also. Tun.
/ out for stones, so that the horse shall
not stumble nor the wheels Jolt over
them avoid the mud holes, aud places
where the going is bad let the horse
slacken speed when the road becomes
heavy, and if YOU want to make up
time, do it where the ground slightly
/ descends.
1t is common mistake to think that
horse can haul a carriage easily on
the level. On such road he has to be
pulling every moment there is no rest.
| Whereas, when the road now rises.
and now falls, the weight is taken off
him at times, and he has chance to
recover his wind and rest his muscles
As between a level road in a valley and
an up-and-down road over the hills, the
latter is by far the easier TO travel.
When you come to long level stretch
let your horse walk bit in the middle
of it.
Almost everybody knows that for
the first few miles, after coming out of
the stable, horse should be driven
slowly. and especially if he has Just
been fed. Ga Journey it is Of the ut
most Importance to observe this rule.
BE careful, however. not to check a
young nag too quickly when he comes
fresh out Of the stable; give him his
head, talk to him soothingly and pres
entity he will come down to a moderate
pace. Ii YOU pull him up at once, you
veX him extremely. so much So that he
is not unlikely to kick.

Let Well Enough Alone.

BY THE CAPTAINS WIFE.
How many three-leaved clovers
Have you trodden down to find
The one with four leaves growing
Upon its slender vine?
And was it, then, much better,
Or was it best of all,
That you need spoil to get il
Those three-leaved clovers small?
How many tiny flowers
Have YOU crushed beneath your foot,
To reach that one SO brilliant,
With tough and sturdy root?
And was it then much sweeter,
Or will it longer bloom,
That you must crush the small ones
TO give it place and room?
How many friends long cherished
Have you passed and hurried by,
To reach that new ono standing
In social circles high?
And did it then repay YOU
To lose the friends of old,
Because you gained one new one
Who boosted wealth untold!
How long will you be learning
That one friend, tried and true,
Is worth more than the MANY
OF new found ones for YOU?
And that small flowers are fairer,
oh, will you never see?
I'm sure the three-leaved clover
Is good enough for me.
