Wife means weaver, it's said.
And when hearts truly wed
There is knitting of soul into soul.
Life itself is the thread,
From the heart spool of red
Which will not our own doth unroll.
Through the warp of heart cords
Shoots the wool of sweet words,
And the shuttle that weaves them in love.
Fairer robes this affords
Than have princes and lords;
Less only than angels above.
Through the changes Of life
Stands the weaver, the wife,
by the side of the love-driven loom;
Keeping out knots of strife,
While the bright threads are rife,
And she weaveth the beauty of home.

although it is we'll known that the
American markets give an abundance
Of vegetables, it is regretted that there
is no country where they are so little
appreciated" writes Mrs. S. L. Rorer in
Ladies' Home Journal. ''To this omis-
sion may be traced much discomfort
among the poorer classes. The legu-
minous seed, peas, beans and lentils,
yield almost double the amount of mus
cle-making food to be found in beef.
One pound of beans costing five cents
will give a food value equal to two
pounds of beef at so cents, an item of
economy worthy of thought. 1 am in
this considering old peas and beans;
those green or unripe contain larger
amount of water and more sugar, and
less albuminous matter, but on the
other hand they are more easily di-
gested.
"All concentrated vegetable foods re-
quire long, slow cooking to render them
suitable for use. A little baking soda
added to the water in which old
peas and beans are cooked removes the
strong flavor, making them much more
delicate. All vegetables should be
washed well in cold water. Green vege-
tables, such as spinach, cauliflower, cab
bage, Brusselssprouts, cucumbers, kale,
onions, leeks, asparagus, turnip tops,
beet tops, Swiss chard, young peas and
string beans, should be cooked in boil
ing sailed water, and boiled slowly until
tender, not moment longer or the
flavor will be lost"

The Child in the Carrot.

Quiet and dim the garnet broods
Over shadowy things that sleep below,
And breathe as folded garment breathes
A faded odor of long ago.
Beyond the window and far below
Lies the bright and beautiful Land Of
Play,
With its hills and dales and it's quivering
light
OF childhood's fathcmless golden day.
But the child sits hushed in the shadowy
space.
She has found in a book a path unsought,
That leads from the world of sun and play
Into darker realm of thought.
But we who dwell in that sterner life
What would we give to find the way
That may lead us back from our world of
thoughts
To that innocent. golden realm of play?

A Summer Shower.

All, the drops are pouring down
Over country, over town.
Pelting on the shining leaves,
Making music on the caves,
Streaming down the grassy hill
While the rootlets drink their fill
Every little raindrop glancing
Like a fairy dancing-dancing.
Busy little elfins they,
Fitting through the air to-day;
Moistening the growing wheat
With their cool caresses sweet;
Filling up the little stream,
Throwing back its grateful gleam-
Watch them-listen! every patter
Echoing like fairy chatter.
Washing now the pansy faces
Waiting in their modest places.
Roses droop with richer glow
AS the diamonds bend them low.
Lilies looking all the whiie
Upward with a beaming smile
At the little crystals dripping
Like fairy tripping-tripping.

To Match the Room.

A very pretty idea is to buy plain
wooden-framed mirrors and then make
them match the room for which they
are intended by covering the frames
tains or divan pillows. Everyone has
some odd, inartistic looking mirrors
with wooden frames about the house,
whichmay be made truly beautiful with
just little time and care expended upon
them.

And he gayly sailed along.
The while he seemed to hear again
A soothing cradle song.

He swept before the wind;
His wheel seemed to obey his will
And fear was left behind.
Alas. unskilled novice!

He raised hand to scratch II

The Hearts Summer Time.


When fall the wintry flakes of frost it's
summer time somewhere
Violets in the valleys-bird songs in the
air;
The chilly winds. they only blow the lily's
lips apart;
It's summer in the world, my dear, when
it's summer in the heart.
When gray the skies are glooming it's sum-
mer in the dells-
In the merry song CT reapers, in the tink-
ling of the bells:
The sweet south skies are frightening as
with springtime's magic art,
But the sweetest season, darling, Is the
summer in the heart.
Still, still the birds are singing, and still
the groves are green,
And still the roses redden and the lovely
lilies lean;
Love fades not with the season; when sum-
laer days depart,
It's summer still, my dearest, in the Eden
of the heart.
