A New Candidate.

recently written a paper on the influence
Of women's clubs on Canadian life. In

and hung on the walls Of every woman 3
club in Christendom- She begged all
societies to admit a new candidate to
mem bership-gayety. Il crave you, 8"
she said, mot to give it an i'll reception.
It is such a good child. And then it has
wrongfully been accused of being too
superficial l am aware that there is no
affinity between it and pedantry, but it
is also true that the daughter of wit is
at heart on the best terms with science.
"A genial demeanOr seems to accord best
with the nature OF women. who are
never pardOned when they usurp the Sc

Phebus thought of distinguishing him
self as a stern mentor, the temples W ould

Getting Rid of Ants.

There are several ways of getting rid of these pests Quicklime dropped into the entrance to their particular haunts is very effective. All the approaches should be well scrubbed with boiling water and strong carbolic. Again, a mixture of camphor, spirits of wine and boiling water is often considered suffi- cient It is also good thing to moisten sponge with equal parts of creosote and camphor, but the smell of this com pound is not only generally objection able, but to some people quite intoler- able.
 The only odorlcss remedy is to stop up all cracks near the infested parts with putty and plaster of paris. Even then it is necessary precaution to put lump of raw meat near the place the ants most frequent. If the cracks have not been thoroughly closed, insects will be found adhering to the meat and can be destroyed by having boiling water poured over them. A more efficient application Of putty and plaster should then be made. The same piece of meat with the edges cut off can be used again, and the opera ton repeated untll the absence of insects proves the eifcctual stopping up of their cracks

He Always Smokes Now,

Billy has sweetheart Billy used to smoke necessarily and always consumed the best of weeds. Consequently his clothes smelled of tobacco, the odor of which was detected by his lady fair. She asked Billy to stop smoking-for her sake. How could he refuse? But, though he stopped smoking, he could not help accommodating cigars, which he stacked away in his vest pockets. The sweet one was bent on his reformation, and every night he called after he had given up the weed for her sweet sake she took the cigars from his pockets and laid them away on the mautel board so that Willie, dear, they will not tempt you.'
 William had noticed that his pro spective father-in-law had of late dis carded a pipe and taken to smoking fine cigars, so he thought business was pros pering with the old man.
 One night Willie staid later than usual. Just as he was saying goodby flor the last time" he heard the old gen tleman, who thought he had gone, call out to his daughter from the head of the stairs:
 "How about cigars tonight? Were there any in his pockets:'
 Willie said nothing, but is now slnok- ing cigars again. Tit Bits.

The Useful Cranberry,

All fruits have medicinal value, and the cranberry ranks as an antiscorbutic. It is blood cleanser. Bruised and heated, not cooked, they have a healing effect on bad humors. One cut in half and bound on a corn will cure it in one or more applications. It will be equally efficacious in the case of pimples on the face, says Good Housekeeping.
 As an article of food the cranberry is too little known. Many families know it only in the form of sauce, but it may be served in many other ways.
 A cooling, refreshing drink may be made by boiling the berries in water, double the measure of berries. Boil un- til the juice has been thoroughly ex- tracted, sweeten with One-half pound of sugar to the pint of juice and bottle hot. This should be served in the same man. ner as raspberry and currant shrubs.
