She Saved Her Husband.

There is a woman in New York who,
brought up to luxury and ease, having
fallen upon unexpected evil days, has
carved out for herself rather a new path
in woman work. Her previous condition
in life, coupled with an innate good taste,
had developed remarkable capacity for
harmonious blending of color, especially in
the matter of room decoration. So, when
her husband failed in business, she asked
herself what she could do to bolster up his
dropping fortunes.
1t seemed very little to her-only an
eve for color and taste for house decOra-
ton that had been exercised in beautify
ing her own home But with this small
capital she has accomplished wonders.
Her husband had been in the house
papering business on a large scale. Armed
with letters of introduction to some of his
business friends, she made arrangements
with many of these to supply her with
such paper as she needed at wholesale
prices, and to give her commission on
large sales. Beginning in small way,
on commission, that woman is now getting
rich at this new, self-chosen occupation.
Lately she has decorated and furnished
from top to bottom house for New
York millionaire, having been given carte
blanche to exercise her own judgment in
all directions. Tier husband has again,
in measure, regained his footing in the
business world, but it is his brave wife
who has enabled him to do this. 1t is
she who has bought new home with the
proceeds of her business, and it is she who
is providing against the possibility of a sec
ond rainy day. Her name may not be in
the encyclopedias, but it is ineffaceably
carved upon an active and progressive
present.

GOD PITY THE POOR.

God pity the poor who are wearily sitting
By desolate hearthstones cold, cherries and bare.
From which the last embers pale flicker has faded,
Like hope dying out in the midst of despair;
Who look on the wide world and see it a desert
Where ripple no waters, no green branches wave; ;
Who see in future as dark as the present
No rest but the deathbed, no home but the grave
As hard as the winter and cold as its snow,
While fortune makes sunshine and summer around
them.
They care not for others nor think of their woe;
Or if from their plenty tribe be given,
So doubtingly, grudgingly often it's doled
That to the receiver their charity seemeth
More painful than hunger more bitter than cold.
God pity the poor, for though all men brothers
Though all say, "our Father" not mine, when they
pray,
The proud ones of earth turn aside from tie lowly
As if they were fashioned of different clay.
They see not in those who in meekness and patience
Toil-poverty, pain without murmur endure
The image of him whose first couch was manger.
Who chose for our sakes to be homeless and poor.
God pity the poor Give them courage and patience
Their trials, temptations and troubles to brave,
And pity the wealthy whose idol is fortune,
For gold cannot gladden. the gloom of the grave,
And as this brief life, whether painful or pleasant,
To one that is endless but opens the door,
The heart sighs while thinking on palace and
howell
God pity the wealthy as well as the poor!

water-Repellant Walls.

To be able to make walls that will
entirely resist moisture is of great impor-
tance in localities where the earth is damp
and sodden Experiments have been
made with brick and sandstone, saturated
with oils Of various kinds. 1t is proven
that raw and boiled linseed oil are the best
substances with which to treat such wall
materials. If bricks are heated as hot as
they can be handled with bare hands, then
dropped into oil and allowed to remain there
until cold, then placed where they will
drain and laid in wall with good Portland
cement mortar, they are practically impery-
ious to water. OF course, great deal OF
exuense attends this work, but there are
places where nothing else seems to answer
as well. For ordinary cellars and walls,
where such extreme nicely Of handling IS
not required, thick coatlng Ct Portland
cement mortar laid on very smoothly and
washed over with several very thin coats
of almost all Portland, will secure the
utmost dryness and cleanliness The
qualities of Portland cement are not fully
appreciated by the average householder.

The Making of Sauerkraut an Enor-
NOUS Industry in America.
Fron the New York world.


Sauerkraut seems TO be increasing in
popularity, and its consumption is growing
in this country every year. This is due
not alone to the fact that the Germans of
America are getting far more numerous,
but because in many quarters other nation
alities are taking it up and finding keen
enjoyment of the palate in this pungent,
highly favored Teutonic dish.
The big manufacturers cut up their
cabbages in special slicing machines, which
are capable of dealing with hundreds of
heads in few minutes. These concerns
buy the cabbages for from s5 to $40 ton,
one ton making 125 gallons of sauerkraut,
or 500 quarts. Each barrel of kraut con-
tains from 40 to so gallons, OF nearly 200
quarts, and the manufacturers sell them at
FROM S6 to 81 a barrel The retailers get
on the average about ten cents a quart, or
nearly $40 barrel
1t would be interesting to give the full
details and figures of the consumption of
sauerkraut in this country, but, unfor-
tunately, these have never been collected,
and there is no one that has even the most
remote idea how many quarts are eaten
per capita per annum. Ohio, particularly
the northern section, is one of the cabbage
strongholds, and one county alone is re-
ported to have raised last fall Z, 500 tons.
One small town is said to have sent out
nearly $50 carloads of the vegetable
Two sauerkraut factories in another town
made over 1000 tons of the kraut.
Hardly second to Ohio as cabbage and
sauerkraut state is Illinois. Pennsyl-
vania is even more productive along these
lines. Jersey contributes not little to
the demand for cabbages and their product.
Whatever is not consumed locally in these
states is sent, as rule, into the far West.
IL Is leseiNeu loT 4NeN AoIh stdte; now
ever, to be the great sauerkraut district
of America New England is not cab
bage section, the sole exception in this
territory being Connecticut, which con-
tributes really very little and the South
and the far West do not produce at all.
New York is the main stay for the Germans
of these regions.
The German sauerkraut, especially i'm
ported, is fairly cheap, but since its man
ufacture has been learned to a T here, the
crop actually from old Germany is not
cared for nearly as much as it was. The
American sauerkraut viii beat it in open
market at any time.

Iaziness of Mind.
From the churchman.


There is laziness of the mind as well
as of the body. People loaf mentally as
well as physically. One is to be desPised
quite as much as the other The man or
boy who sits about on street corners and in
stores telling idle tales is no more social
nuisance than is he who dawdles over his
studies, or dreams away the hours wool
gathering, which should be employed in
planning and thinking about the serious
problems of life. The mind should be held
quite as rigidly to discipline as the body;
for an aimIess, wandering, unappliable
mind win destroy ones usefulness quite as
much as sIothful flabby, nnskilled body.
