come your good times, and Instead OF
patronixing them with condescending in
difference. use them as one of His
precious gifts, always remembering that.
Everywhere the heart awake
Finds what pleasure 1t can make;
Everywhere the light and shade
BY the gazer's eye is made.
In ourselves the sunshine dwells,
From ourselves the music swells.
BY ourselves our lives are fed,
With sweet or bitter daily bread.
Many fathers and mothers nowadays
are training their little people to be
ambidextrous. This equal skill of both
hands is best acquired while young, and
the conveniences arising from it in after
life are well worth considering.
In fact. dozens of grown men and
women are trying at present to over
come the feebleness of the left hand, to
make its strength equal that OF the

There is a theory among scientists to
the effect that many animals and birds

cording to vierodt. habitually do this.
The lion is known to strike with the
left paw. while the common house cat is
also expert in this way. Livingstone
claimed that all animals are ambidex-
trous.
Be this as 1t may, it is a question of

With pen, ink and a copy-book anyone
devoting fifteen minutes each day to
writing with the left hand will make
great progress.
1t was an old family servant who first
suggested the idea. rs you ever noticed,
honey" she said, dat when a man and
is wife err been married long time, dey
begins to favor each other?"
Whether this likeness is a gradual
growth or whether it exists in the be-
ginning-it is true that one often notices
men and women who have been long
married and who have come to resemble
each other.
A cynical friend declares that there is a
reason for this as for an things. He
says that a stout woman is jolly and
fond of good things to eat. Her husband
Is fed well. and naturally he fattens.
Whereas, the awfully thin woman is apt
to be nervous and active. Her husband
Is worried and rendered hin also.
However, this is cynicism only. Blu
what about the case in which one of the

When metal are very OBJ
sstfnate during the restoring process, it
is probable that there is a little copper
tinge in them; a strong solution of
oxalic acid, such as is used for kitchen
boilers, must then be resorted to, taking
great care in the use of this violent
poison. The most u%nresponsive metals
may soon be made to reflect the face of
their restorer by those means, and, while
the children are out of the way and the
poison down from the high shelf, if
there are any of these ungetoutable
spots on linen from sliding on the green,
rust, mold and the like. they will dis
appear if rubbed between the fingers in
this same acid, always taking care to
rinse instantly in plenty of clear, warm
water, when it is harmless; otherwise

Moire brocade, MORE poplin, fa.lle, satin
and crepe de. chene are all fashionable
materials for dressy gowns. and velvet
gowns are worn by young married wom-
en-. as well as those of more matronly
years. the difference being in the delicate
colors employed and the more youthful

evening gowns, with a short train and
an embroidered satin panel, in many in

bias folds of the velvet, form the princi-

Tea drinkers of the sold country" call
the tea that is mad by pouring addi-
tional water on the leaves which have
already supplied the quality to one tea
potful of tea Husbands tea," in de-
rision. All the goodness has been taken
from the eav and the second drawing
is poor stuff. The Chinese, who serve
their tea without sleeping. standing in
little individual bowls, after pouring off
and drinking the tea first made, always
refill the bowl. The tea from this second
pouring they consider to be perfect. The
"~roughness'' has been taken off with the
first water, and the real delicacy of the
tea taste is reached with the second.
