WHAT A WOODPILE INDICATES.

What a satisfaction it is to see a
generous, whole souled woodpile! 1t
gives one better opinion of the world
and brings up rich flood of memories
and associations. One has no need
to be told that the owner IS the father
of half dozen boys and girls, and that
neighbors like to gather under his roof
during the long winter evenings, when
the snow and wind outside but empha.
size the warmth and cheer within.
One has no need to call on the
Imagination to see the great pile of
extra logs in the corner, waiting their
turn at the fiery carnival, dancing and
glowing in the fireplace, or the half
circle of merry story tellers gathered
about the hearth, eating apples and
cracking nuts and exchanging exper-
fences of farming and hunting with
eaCn OtQeI.
What an open, large hearted hos
pitality such proiusion of wood sug-
gests! 1t never occurs to one that the
owner may be niggardly or churlish.
Such a pile of wood can only belong
to a man whose heart is large enough
to take in the whole neighborhood.
But what a contrast is the woodpile
across the way Ia few sticks that even
the house dog refuses to sleep behind.
| No wonder the boys are thin and sickly
and the girls weak and dlscontented
One can scarcely imagine smile, or
bit of laughter, or jest passing through
a door that overlooks such a pile.

A PRETTY HAND,
How to Make Sure of 1t without the As
sistance OF a Manicure.

The hand cannot be pretty, however
shapely it may be by nature, if the
nails are in anyway neglected. The
nail has an expression, not to say an
eloquence, of its own, for the social
status of man or woman can easily be
detected by the fashion in which 1t is
shaped, cut and cared for. A broad,
fiat nail, cut very short and encroached
upon by the skin, denotes vulgar
nature, while the true flbert nail, cut to
follow the shape of the end of the
finger. slightly pointed and daintily
polished, gives the entire hand an aris.
tocratic and refined appearance.
Few people know how to take proper
care of their nails without the assist
ance Of the manicure, and yet with
small amount OF trouble even the
uglicst nails can in short time become
beautiful. OF course it Is difficult to
alter the color and shape thereof, but
they may be considerably improved,
with some attention to the following
details:
To begin with, the hands should
always be washed in very hot water,
or, better yet, in warm oatmeal water.
Failing this, few drops of tincture OF
bepzoin in the water add greatly to
the whiteness and soitness of the skin.
also conducting to the beautifying of
the nails themselves. When the hands
are thoroughly clean, rinse them in
clear warm water into which tea
spoonful of almond meal has been
thrown.
Dry the hands on soft towel and
Immediately rub them with the follow
ing mixture: One part pure glycerine,
one part lemon juice, one part rose
water. This can be prepared either
for three or four days at time. Twice
week the nails should be rubbed with
yarnlsh made as follow: Half an
ounce pistachio oil, 81 grains of table
salt, 23 grains powdered colophany, 80
grains ground alum, 80 grains melted
white wax. grains fine carmine.
These ingredients should be thor
oughly mixed over spirit lamp, made
into kind Of pomatum and preserved
in small glass or porcelain jar. 1t
should be applied to the nail with a
tiny wad of medicated cotton and
allowed to remain there for half an
hour. The thin membrane surround
ing the nail should then be carefully
pushed back with the rounded end of
an ivory nail file, and the little idle
skins, which often grow at the root
of the nail, cut away with a pair of very
sharp scissors.
When this is done, the nail should
be polished with the so called diamond
powder, a small quantity of which
is put on a chamois skin nail pol
isher. The hands are then washed
in hot oatmeal water, we'll dried on a
very fine towel, and finally the nails are
polished once more with soft chamois
polisher. By doing this regularly twice
a week the toughest and most ungainly
looking hands and nails can be trans
formed into things of beauty.
When the hands have been permit
ted to become chapped, bathe them
every night before going to bed in a
clear pulp made of linseed meal and
bitter almond oil, rinse them in tinc-
ture of benzoin diluted with I6 parts
of hot water, dry them we'll and powder
thoroughly with ordinary violet powder.

The sky is like the water,
Gray as the hue oflead,
The fishers little daughter
Weareth black upon her head;
The boughs that wave above her
Are gray with winter frost,
And all the hearts that love her
The bridge of death have crossed.
| hear no children's voices;
Silent the fishers maid;
No gladstone soul rejoices
Where bold boys used to wade
In summer, in the sunlight,
When days were sweet with song,
The beach was smooth and white,
Not strewn with wreck along.
All, see the winter roses,
Hedged round with greenest moss,
Each curling leaf inclOses
A fragrant balm for loss:
And though there is no breaking
Ofgrayness overhead,
They teach OF an awaking
Oflife that is not dead.
See how they grow and culver,
See how hey nod and bend,
While all the worlds a-shiver
They sparks Of ruby send
Like freight in the window,
Heart-shaped and red as flame,
They speak of loves sweet pardon
From out their moSsy frame.
All. gray and winter weather,
wish your days were done,
My heart and hopes together
Would open to the sun:
Oh. roses, winter roses,
feel your lesson deep:
No gray day ever closes
But leaves US joy to keep.

BRIXTON'S CHOICE.

There are many varieties OF matrl-
monial proposals besides those which
appear in novels, and one of them
made lot of trouble a year or two
ago for John Brixton. Brixton was
one of the intelligent fellows who
also are adaptive, so he had acquired
lot of acquaintance who we're the
envy OF every one who knew him.
Although he was only a salesman on
salary-quite a good salary, it must
be said-for a large firm OF iron
manufacturers, he was frequently
accosted tamiliarly by bank presid
ents and other business magnates
and could slap any of these gentle
men on the shoulder without giving
offense.
As he was a bachelor and old
enough to have outgrown the habit
of lounging successive evenings in
houses where there are pretty
daughters, he was available for
dinner parties given by men who
knew no better way of spending an
evening Everybody among his
acquaintances wished him we'll and
wished they could do something for
him, but thev respected him all the
more because he never tried TO
borrow money nor asked for any
other favors. Solid business men
told one another that Brixton would
be one of them some day. He
merely needed the chance which
comes every to deserving man in the
course of time, and each of them
hoped it might be his own fortune to
throw the chance in Brixton's way.
1t seemed one day 10 old Builder
president of the Forty seventh
National bank and hearty admlrer
of Brixton that he was just the man
| to throw a fortune in Brixton's way.
| The plan came to Builders mind
suddenly, but sudden inspirations
and quick action thereon are part
OF the daily life of the most stolid
presidents of big banks. Brixton
had promised to lunch with the bank
magnate at midday, and he appeared
at the bank Just in time TO see the
old man bowing out lady with
more courtesy and ceremony than
he imagined Builder capable of.
AS the old man caught sight O.
Brixton he exclaimed:
One moment, Miss Fewse Allow
me to introduce my very dear ole
friend, Mr.. John Brixton. Mr.
Brixton, Miss Fewse, daughter o
old man Fewse, whom every one
has heard of.
Brixtor bowed and looked curl
ously at the lady. He had seen hel
father occasionally before Increasing
years and doctors had sent MIR
Fewse 10 his final home, and hi
eyes searched the daughters face
for her fathers distinguishing traits
He found them, too although The
interview was short.
Miss Fewse was richly and simpl,
dressed. Her figure, like he
