'erhaps there Smoothing that adds
moro q to the happiness of; { 4 home
than cheerfdlpesa, il is q potent
faStof a'i1 il sssRS s SsRS secret of asekeeping.
'l'l The \ y 3houss wife who always wears d
pleasant smile and speaks soothing
word has alread y acquired ono Of the
most valuable leaccomplishments. AS
long ago as the days of the wise
man q merry countenance had its
recognized value. It is a duty to be
pleasant; yet how many neglect
this important requirement..
Y Some women are constitutionally
cross and morose others aro weak
and nervous. Some arc frstful by
the exactions of household cares.
But thore is no excuse for much Of
the friction that exists in many
households. We have been in homes
where tho atmosphere seemed actu-
ally to bristle with hostilities. Every
one was in fret and fume. Frowns
and cross words were the rule and
not tho exception. How uncomfor-
table life in such homo must DO to
the inmates as we'll as to the passing
guest. One soon learns to shun such
q home as he would pest house.
Every woman cannot be beautiful,
but it is her duty to look as we'll as
she can. Nothing adds more to a
woman's attractiveness than a cheer
full countenance. .......
1t should be ranked among wo-
mans household duties to render
others happy. To do this success
fully she must be in somo degree
happy herself. ..
IT one is happy she will be cheer
full. The happy and contented do
not fret when tho tires dc not burn.
or tho steak is overd0ne size docs
not hush boisterous child with a
frOwn. H..
Some women are naturally cheer
full, but allow themselves to be put
out by little things. Suppose tho
servant has broken dish, or the but
ter does not come, or yonr husband
comes late to dinner, does it mend
the matter to make impertinent COM
plant Preserve your equanimity ;
the world was not made in one day.
1t is not ali flowers and sunshine.
Your work will go along much
smoother. You will accomplish
more and you will make others hap
pier by being cheerful.
Chcerfulness is the best lubricator
in the world, and in the machinery
of household tolls and cares it often
happens that little is needed. Where
there is cheerfulness there is always
order, thrift and comfort. 1t is bet
ter than high descent or gold. 1t is
n jewel moro precious than any over
dug from the mines of Golconda.
Like the sunshine it cannot be dis.
pensed with. Fervcntly and piously
we say God bless the cheerful wo-
man. A. NJ.

,ElOOQ'S PILLS with Hoods Sarsapnrilla
Origin Of Some Popular Sayings.

These are great days for tearing
away the undcrbrush of fiction, scnti-
ment and superstition and getting
right down to the first principles of
fact. One battalion of workers is
campaigning against the secrets of
nature, another is waging war on the
venerable dogma of crccds, and an
other is tracing family pcdigrccs back
to their source. But only few of
the curioas-mindcd have seen the
charm of hunting our popular, every
day sayings down through the debris
of dustcovered past. TO those
with the faintest taste for this weird,
literary sort of ghoul work, this re-
search will always be full OF fascina-
ton. 1t hasn't quite the dignity Of
Importance Of more profound studies
into relies and records of the past.
But there is scarcely a single popu-
lnr saying bcqucathcd to us by our
"1ong-buried human brethren that
does not throw CLEAN of light on
the history, customs and traditions of
the past.
For instance, that expression heard
every day in the world, "Tll take him
down a peg or two," wasn't invented
by some genius, didn't drop from the
skies; its roots lie deep in the Saxon
days of centuries ago, as far back as
good st. Dunstan. This popular
prclate had the hot-headcd and
stormy men OF very wild period to
deal with. They drank deep, and
stheir swords were ready as their
fingers. SO, at the saints suggestion,
to reduce the chances of broils over
cups, small pegs were inserted at
regular intervals in their big drinking
mugs, so that when more than one
drank from the same bowl none
shonld play the hog and exceed his
share. The good saints fierce par
lshloncrs, however, soon found the
pegs handy in drinking bouts; they
they served as quite and reliable UNI
pires. A gcntleman's standing in So
cicty was measured by his capacity
to pack away sack under his belt, and
the pegs measured the potations in
these hibulous contests. The victor
was the man vino brought the liquor
apeg or to lower than his rival took
down his pride and self, conccit-just
the meaning we hang on that ancient
peg to-day.
OUR DEBT TO ROME.
"Turning the tables" has a pcdi-
gree longer still. 1t conveys the
idea of springing countcrchargc or
some winning tactics on your accuser.
The wealthy nabobs Of the days of
Augustus in Rome were possessed,
among other fads, with mania for
certain costly tables of Mauritania
wood inlaid with ivory the table
madness, as Pliny puts it, All sorts
of ridiculous fancy prices were paid
for these coveted gems. 1t soon be-
came tho retOrt fashionable among
the fair danes Of Rome, when
charged with extravaganza by their
spendthrift lords, to turn the tab,us
