The Power of a Smile.

A young man was once confined
in dark chamber by a long and
painful illness. The inmates of the
house were distant relatives, and
seemed to think that they were do
ing their whole duty toward the
friendless youth by allowing him to
remain there. They seldom went
into his room, and his attendant was
a sadfaced old woman who never
smiled.
The young man became despond-
ent and resolved to commit suicide.
While he was writing a note telling
his reasons for ending his life, a
knock was heard upon the door and
a sweet-faced lady entered. She
was neighbor, and hearing of his
illness had sought him out.
She smiled so sweetly that even be-
fore she spoke the young man gave
up the idea of the crime which he
had contemplated. She spoke en-
scouraging words to him, and when
she placed her soft hand upon his
thOt forehead in motherly way, he
ibroke down and sobbed like child.
She smiled again and knelt in silent
prayer by his bedside, with the
sweet love-tOken by which God
spoke to him still glowing upon her
bright womanly face. In that holy
silence all his bitterness of soul left
him, and there came an intense de-
sire to seek and find Christ. The
repentant one felt the presence of
Gods Spirit, and his hungry soul
cried out for rest and peace. Ere
the smile faded from the upturned
face Of the Christian woman the
loving Savior had entered the open
door of the seeking soul. In a
weeks time the young man left the
dim chamber Of pain aud went out
into the great world to do the Mas
ter's work.-American Messenger.

THE PRAYER OF CGLEBs.

Anoth n gonel Alas one more
Deluded by woman's trick
Another stalwart bachelor
To figure as a Benedick!
"a marriage" see, "has been arranged
Between Miss Blank anG"-yes and Harry
My well loved friend, you must have changed
You, of all men alive, to marry
At Cambridge, on debating nights,
Brown and yourself shonc in the lists
AS valiant fos Of "womun's rights"
A pair of stanch misogynists
How valuoless your speeches proved
Brown, too, ! understand, is fatpd
To make, like YOU the deadly move
Which loses all, by which you're mated.
But, though mourn for you my friend,
My fears are not for you alone.
This fall of your, does il portend
Ike disaster of my own2
Is love brief insanity
Which seizes all of us2 Shall no men
Escape its ravages2 Shall
Become lover2 Absit omenl
Oh, Maud or Muriel or Katel
Your name, from force of circumstance,
/ cannot definitely state.
Let me entreat you in advanced
Oh, unknown maid whom shall WOO,
Let me put forward my petition
Before you have reduced me to
A semi-imbecile condition.
When, on some fragrant summer eve,
vow that you are quite divine
And ask you simply to believe
There never WAS such love as mine,
Despise such platitudes as those.
From my drmented self protect me,
And, if finally propose,
Be kind, be generous and reject mel

1t seemeth such a little way to me
Across to that strange country, the
Beyond;
And yet not strange, for it has grown
to be
The home of those of whom I am so
fond
They make it seem familiar and most
dear,
As journeying friends bring distant
countries near.
So close it lies that when my sight is
clear
think see the bright and cleaning
strand;
I know, feel, that those who've gone
from here,
Come near to me as if to touch my
hand
oft en- think, but for our yelled eyes,
We should find heaven right around us
lies.
| cannot make it seem day to dread,
When from this earth home / shall
journey out
To that still dearer country of the dead,
And Join the lost ones so long
dreamed about.
/ love this world, vet shall / love to go
And meet the friends, who wait for me,
| know.
And so for me there is no sting to death,
And so the grave has lost its victory
1t is but crossing with bated breath,
And white, set face, a little strip Ut
sea,
To find the loved ones waiting on the
shore,
More beautiful, more precious, than be-

three different occasions four boys were
announced, and once there were four
boys and a girl.

Hot Water as a Remedy.

There is no remedy of such general
application and none so easily at
tainable as water, and yet nine per-
sons out of ten will pass by it in an
emergency to seek for something of
far less efficacy.
Pieces of cotton batting dipped in
hot water and kept applied to old
sores or cuts, bruises and sprains, is
the treatment now generally
adopted.
A strip of flannel or napkin
folded lengthwise and dipped in hot
water and wrung out and then ap-
piled around the neck of child
that has the Group, will usually bring
relief in ten minutes.
A towel folded several times and
applied over the seat of the pain in
tOOthache or neuralgia will generally
afford prompt relief. This treat
ment in collie works like magic
There is nothing that will so prompt
ly cut short congestion Of the
lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as
hot water when applied promptly
and thoroughly.
Tepit water acts promptly as an
emetic, and hot water taken freely
half an hour before bedtime is the
best of cathartics in the case of con.
stipation, while it has a most
soothing effect on the stomach and
bowels. This treatment continued
for few months, with proper at
tention to diet, will cure any durable
case of dyspepsia.-HOme Life.

The Pope,s Dominant Trait.

Ny friend Paul Bourget defines the
American as "a man who invariably
uses the newest method" This is also
the dominant trait in the character of
Leo XIII. Within the measure permit
ted him by heavy chain of traditions
he does not hesitate to grasp the most
modern weapons in defense of his an
cient faith, and this deliberate boldness
explains his penchant for the American
character. Yet in those very innova-
tions which most alarm his timid advis-
ers he is conscious of being far less an
innovator than restorer of forgotten
traditions He relies upon the examples
act by the great popes Of the middle
ages, who, in their day, came down to
the market place, stirred the crowds and
led the people on to new horizons. -

Dainty Meal Serving.

The woman who serves simple
breakfasts and dinners daintily is a
better housewife than she who
serves rich feasts unattractively.
A chop set forth on glittering
china on a cloth of shining damask
is better than the rarest bird in the
market brought on in slovenly style.
Toast and tea may make a feast
with white linen and glistening sill

There are various new modes in
collars, all more or less suited to the
stock tie, varying in the depth of
the turnover band and in the
breadth of opening at the front.
The girls who can becomingly wear
these severe and masculine collars
and ties are to be envied by those
unfortunates who are so strictly
feminine that they are forced to
adOrn themselves with frivolous
neck f1Xings, which, though pretty,
are not up to the standard of the
linen collars. The sash cravat is a
favorite tie, in spite of the difficulty
every woman finds in tying it to her
satisfaction; it is wide as the ordi-
nary sash, built of heavy satin,
figured or plain, plain preferred,
brought twice around the linen col
lar, crossed in front and fastened
with a scarf pin. This form of tie is
especially smart when worn with
the linen shirt front and tailor
made costume.
An odd collar has straight band
of linen topped by round ruching
of muslin; it is neither pretty nor
becoming and will be popular only
with those who seek for novelties.
The extremely broad collar is less
in favor than formerly. The style
proved becoming to very few, and
those only with long, slender throats,
such as few women have. The
single straight band, with points in
dicated at the front, instead of
sharply turned over, is being worn
to a large extent, with all manner of
ties, the most popular of which is
the wide string tie, made into a
loose, careless sort of knot.

A country minister remarked to his
wife Sunday noon:
There was stranger in church this
morning.
"What did he look like?" Ssked the
wife, who was woman first and a

II didn't see him. "
Then how did you know there was
a stranger there?"

English Recipe for Baked Ham.

Soak medium sized ham in tepid
water for IL hours. Trim off all The
rusty pieces and make a dough of
-four and water. Roll this out
rather thickly, and envelop the ham
entirely in it. Place in a baking
dish and bake in a moderate oven
for four hours. When done, care
fully remove the crust and skin,
rub the ham all over with york of
egg and sprinkle with very fine
bread raspings, or, if preferred, it
can be glazed in the usual way.
Baked ham is a very delicious dish,
and considered by many to be very
superior to boiled.

The GuestbOOk.
A guest-bOok is feature of almost
every household to-day. Par
ticularly is it interesting and per-
tinent to summer home. Guests
are expected to write their names in
such book, and so in time the
hostess has a collection of names
which will possess certain interest
not only for the present, but for the
future as we'll, since the book is in
tended to be handed down to de-
scendants. The dearest, nearest
and best friends are the first TO be
invited to inscribe their names on
these pages, while lesser friends
and acquaintance are expected to
follow with their signatures. In
the back of the book are several
pages devoted to the names and
dates of births in the family in their
Legitimate succession. This kind of
a book somewhat takes the place in
a family of the log book in the
nautical world.-VOgue.

When a Cold Begins.
When person begins to SILVER,
the blood is receding from the sur
face; congestion, to greater or less
extent has taken place, and the
patient has already taken cold, to be
followed by fever, inflammation of
the lungs, neuralgia, rheumatism,
etc. All these evils can be avoided
and the cold expelled by walking,
or in some exercise that will produce
a prompt and decided reac ton in
the system. The exercise should be
sufficient to produce persp iration.
If you are so situated that you can
get a glass of hot water to drink, it
will materially aid the perspiration,
and in every way assist nature in
her effort to remove the cold. This
course followed, your cold is at an
end, and whatever disease it would
terminate in is avoided, your suffer
ings are prevented and the doctors
bill saved.

Mothers Custard Pie.

To secure "custard pie such as
mother made" try the following
from Good Housekeeping:
To each beaten egg add a cupful
of rich milk, IL tablespoonful of
sugar, one-eighth teaspoonful of salt
and little nutmeg. Bake in deep
plate lined with good crust. When
it rises and is barely stiffened it is
done. Too much baking takes
away the creamy taste which
should be in all custard pies. If
eggs are scarce, 2 may be used in
place of by using teaspoonsful of
cornstarch wet up with little of
the milk. In that case heat a cup
full of the milk and stir in the wet
up cornstarch. Cool, mix all to-
gether and proceed as before.
