Use a Kitchen Table If You Want to-
Have Ease.
Purchase kitchen table at any of
the shops where they deal in house,
hold goods. These tables may be found
in three sizes, ranging in price from
fifty to seventy-fve cents. They are
well made pine tables, fitted with sub
stantial legs and a spacious drawer.
The second size should be chosen for
our purpose. A carpenter will readily
saw off the legs to a height of twelve
inches, for the table is to serve as a
platform to elevate the bathtub when
placed upon its top up to just an easy,
comfortable height, for the mother
when seated in chair to ma nipulate
the baby, without STOPPING, lifting or
strain.
In the drawer should be a center
piece for wash rags, while the side
spaces may be subdivided into several
compartments. These may contain
powder boxes and bags, and any other
thing in baby's toilet These spaces

the proper height, the whole is in

paint should be applied first, followed
with one of English enamel. This last
will bear many washings off and much
wear without showing DETACHMENT.
White porcelain rollers may be easily
adjusted beneath the four legs, and the
little platform is complete for service.
The bathtub placed upon its top will
leave space of eight inches or more
all around, wherein may be set soap

A small wooden clothes-horse, also

the direction given above, forms the
frame work. Each panel should be
fitted with a dainty dimity curtain,
made adjustable with tiny tapes, so
that they may not infrequently have
recourse to the laundry. This quaint
little screen will serve to protect the
bath from draughts, and its lower

Another remarkable service was held
in this same temple in 1889, when the
same priests chanted a similar litany
for the repose of the souls of the sail
ors of the American mau-of-war Oneida,
which was sunk with her officers and
crew near the mouth of Yeddo bay in
1870. The bones of many of the lost

and buried in the grounds that sur

A Man and His Wife.

On the Underground railway, little
while ago man and woman got into
the carriage. He was snarling at
everyone-the guard, the porters. the
newspaper boy and passenger whose
foot he kicked getting into the car
riage. The woman was little thin
and pale, and fancy all the passengers
were sorry for her, and thought she
must have a very bad time of it. Pres.

when shall we reach Richmond?"
He said: I'VE shall be home inside of
forty minutes" That was all; but

kind and tender; the whole man
changed when he spoke to his wife; a
brute to everyone else, he was lover

would hate her husband but herself,

HAPPIN ESS.


1t Does Not Always Come with the Ac-
quirement of Riches.
Happiness is a quality of the mind
which is very difficult to define cor
rectly. What is happiness to one man
is the reverse to another.
There are some individuals whose
highest idea of bliss is to sit comfort
ably in the house and look out of the
window at others stuck in the mud.
There is much truth in the remark
of Talleyrand, or some other cynical
Frenchman, that in order to be happy
a man has to have hard heart and a
good digestion. 1t is almost impossible
for sensitive people to be very happy
tor any length of time, for mosquitoes
and fools will annoy them in spite of
all they can do, to say nothi ng of other
complications.
The only man who is to be envied is
the man who is contented, but where
is he? 1t is useless to attempt to de-
feat him, for the man who does not
want anything except what he has
already got is absolutely invincible.
incidentally we may remark that no
such man exists.
1t is mistake to suppose that the
rich society people are happy. These
spoiled children of the world, like
their juvenile namesakes, are general
ly source of unhappiness to others
without being happy themselves

History gives no definite informa-
tion as to when the observance of the
first day of the week was substituted
by the Christians for the seventhAay,
the ancient Jewish Sabbath. 1t un-
doubtedly arose among the earliest
practices of the Christian church, and
was regarded as the fittest day to be
held sacred, because, in the words OF
one of the fathers: at Is the first day
in whicn God changed darkness and
mstver and made the world; and on
the same day also Jesus Christ, our
Saviour, rose from the dead" Various
additional reasons taken from the Old
Testament were advanced by others
of the early fathers in the support OF
the observance of this day.
