she said, IF only l had a good stove, and
the pump fixed, sure I'd stay. l gave
the mistress warning this morning"
Again Mr.. Jones' conscience pricked
him. How often had his wife asked him
to be sure and send the plumber to fix
that pump. But it had seemed very
small thing to him that stove and pump
were out of order, and so he had paid
no attention to the matter.
Passing into the furnaceroom his eye
fell on poor old Hans, the man whom hes

furnace. He was On his knees in front,
of the furnace trying with all his poor
old strength to shake the heavy CRATE

with the shrewish daughter-in-law who
gave him shelter and a bed. But for
some reason the shaking of the furnace
had been almost impossible for more

spair. When he saw Mr.. Jones he
thought the end had come, and the ex-,

SUPERFLUOUS WORK.
How Some Women Waste Thefe
Strength and Make Everybody
the House Uncomfortable.

There are some people with such
strong instinct for cleanliness that
they will use up all the time and
strength they have in all varieties of
superhuous duties. There are certain
articles which are Just as valuable and
just as useful after they have become
oXidized by exposure as they were be-
fore. No one expects to have the brass
ornaments on trunks or on many other
such unitarian articles secured and
kept as bright as they were in the shop
in which they were purchased. There
are women who scour the "brasses"
on trunks and on all variety of objects,
ps such women are certainly wasting
ZINE. A woman whose house is so clean
that it seems in the perfection of order
and neatness, if she finds time to look
for things out of order will often do
some such senseless thing as scour
brasses on trunks. There are many
other ways of occupying time with
equally surel fluous work. Trimming
on the plain. everyday underwear of
little children is equally superfuous.
1t requires an exceptional amount of
common sense to know when work is
superfuous and when it is strictly nee
essary. Any mother of children and
head of a household has enough neces-
sary work to do, so that she cannot at
tempt to do superfluous work without
neglecting some duty that is neces-
sity, even if it is only the duty of rest
