LITTLE THINGS.

One day a little acorn dropped
Down fromits native tree.
And helpless lay upon the earth,
A tiny thing to see.
And looking up in sad surprise
TO where II once did grow,
IL said "'Tls over now with me!
What can an acorn do?'
Eut Mother Earth, to comfort II,
Spoke softly, as IL lay,
And turning DER. II fell asleep,
It's sorrow soothed away.
Then gently DER its little bed
She spread quilt of mold,
And there II slept through autumn raina
And SHOWS of winter cold.
but when the sun with cheering rays
Told of the warm, bright spring,
And Nature said to Mother Earth:
Come now your treasures bring"'
The acorn heard the flowers talk,
And ope'd it's eyes to see,
And stretching out Il cracked its shell,
And grew into a tree.
There sheltered In the forest shade.
In stately pride to stand,
A noble oak-as grandla tree
AS grows in all the land
oh, chlldrenl heed these little things.
Whatever they may be;
Remember-little boys make meni
An acorn makes a tree.

A STRANGER IN A STRANGE
LAND"

The following article is clipped
from 50. Mar6s Parish MonthlH
published at Adams, Mass, by Rev.
DR.. l.. Zahner, former rector of ST.
Paul's Church, Bloomsburg. 1t is
quite likely that Adams is not the
only place where the work suggested
by DR.. Zahner is needed. If every
parish would follow his advice in this
matter, it would be great help to the
church and to the rector. He says
"A stranger in strange land 3"
might be paraprhrased as stranger
in a strange church." The service
comes home to strangers with sweet
familiarity ; but the familiar faces, the
warm hand clasp, the friendly greet
ing, all are lacking! Fellow parishion-
ers let it not be said of us that
strangers within our gates" remain
strangers long. Find out their places
of residence, call on them at their
homes, welcome them warmly, urge
them to become members of some
one of the parochial organizations
that they may become interested in
parish work. Do not let this matter
rest entirely with your rector. Let
the members of the parish take it to
their hearts and show their Christian
friendliness for the good of our parish
and for the cause of Christ. Too
much can scarcely be said on this
subject. 1t is our duty, it should be
our pleasure, to cordially greet the
strangers-to make them feel welcome
among us and thus to commend to
them our parish and Church. The
showing of little more open and
cordial feeling among ourselves would
uot be amiss, but it is especially due
to strangers. One afternoon every
week, or every two weeks, set apart
conscientiously for parish visiting,
would not materially interfere with
our duties, domestic or social, and
would do so much toward promoting
that good will and sociability which is
the handspring of parochial prosperity
and the sign of Christian love and
brotherhood"

OUNCES OF PREVENTION.

Wear clean apron while ironing or
bed-making.
To clean bamboo furniture use a
brush dipped in salt water.
The eyes should be bathed every
night in cold water just before retiring
and they will do better work the follow
ing day.
When very tired lie on the back, al
lowing every muscle to relax, letting
the hands go any way they will, and
keep the eyes closed.
If you have to sew all day change your
seat occasionally and so obtain rest.
Bathing the face and hands will also
stimulate and refresh.
Oil stains may be removed from wall
paper by applying for four hours pipe
clay, powdered and mixed with water
to the thickness of cream.
For stains in mating from grease
wet the spot with alcohol, then rub on
white CASTLE soap, Let this dry in a
cake and then wash off with warm salt
water.

The Scranton Business College.

The really phenomenal success that
has attended this institution since its
inc ception, making it in less than two
years one of the leading schools in the
country in point of numbers in attend
ance as well as in all other respects,
speaks well for the regulations Messrs.
Buck and Whitmore have won for
themselves.
No young man or woman can do a
wiser thing than take course at this
school. The steady demand for book
keepers and stenographers makes it
difficult for the proprietors to qualify
students rapidly enough to fill all OF
the positions offered, All mail in

inches on either side. This is the steer

front part of the double-runner can
thus steer comfortably with his feet,
but he also should have in his hands

as they are made, to prevent warping.

Here's some Good Advice.

Don't roll your eyes up into your
head as if they were marbles. A fine
pair of eyes will be utterly ruined by
this operation. The girl with pretty
mouth will purse it up into the pret-
test bouton and continue the habit nu-
til many lines form about the lips and
the lovely mouth has to be put into
the hands of q beauty doctor. Nearly
every woman bites or sucks her lips.
Others contract the brows and produce
two burrows between the eyes. Others
wrinkle the forehead with frowns.
Others perpetually wear tip-tilted
nose. The true expressive face doesn't
consist of set of features hung on
strings OF wires. Do cultivate placid
features.

stronger frame. The argument against
hardwood is that it is much more diff
cult to "work" than pine. All the lum-
ber should be about one inch thick.
The first thing to be done is to make
the sleds. Fig. 1 shows the size and
dimensions of the side of sled. A E
are the end views of the braces, which,
as can be seen in the figure, are to be
fitted into the side.
In Fig. is shown the top view of a
sled before the top board is put on.
Make the two sleds as shown above; the
dimensions are given in Fig. 1, except
the width of the sleds, which is ten
inches. Be sure that the braces are
strong and fit tightly. Screw the top

BUILDING A SLED.

How Any Bright Boy Can Mako n Small
Double Runner.
Every real boy likes coasting. 1t
is a very healthy and exciting amuse-
.ment, and if proper care is taken it is
not dangerous.
A double-runner should be at least
five feet long, and strong enough to
carry two or three boys comfortably.
Any boy who has a few simple tools
and fair amount of common-sense
can make one if he follows these direc-
tions. Well-seasoned pine will do very
well, but some harder wood, as oak or
black walnut, would make a somewhat

a Very Stylish and Useful Addition to the
Brides Costume.
The latest bridal fad is the 'sac Mar

velvet or satin and painted with flowers
which form the main floral decoration
of the wedding feast. The decorative
chrysanthemum, the simple daisy, the
rare orchid, or the brides rose can be
faithfully represented by this delight

The "sac" in this case is made of
crean-colored satin, edged with chiffon
frill. 1t is attached to the right side OF
the dress by two satin ribbons, with

rosettes on the flap, where the mono
gram of the owner is usually painted.
A spray of orange blossoms decorates
the bag and the small prayer book used
on that occasion is incased in ivory
satin with a spray of the same hymeneal
emblems.
These bags are an elegant addition to
the bridal costume, very stylish, and
useful as well.-St. Louis Republic.
