THE lDE OF LIFE.

There is a tide in all mems lives
That GIBBS and flows, a fall and rise
Just as the tide of ocean does.
Which, falling, rising, Gibbs and flows.
This tide controls the lives of men,
And nations likewise feel its strain,
For rising, falling, slow or fast,
Each meets its destiny at last.
The mighty power which Rome once knew
First from a feeble hamlet grew,
Till all the world her tribute paid
And all the laws by Rome were made
Yet when at last she reached high tide.
Then ebbed her glory once her pride;
That mighty naUon passed away
Pray, where rs ancient Rome today?
And now see naughty Spain appears,
Who once controlled both hemispheres:
she ruled a kingdom wide as earth.
Yet nought more humble than her birth.
For, once a nation slaves to Rome
She grew until she stood alone
But now her power has ebbed away.
And who would envy Spain today?
Now last, we see Columbia fair,
An eager, rising nation here;
She humbled Spain. her power still grows
The tide of life still onward flows
Long may she rise, but still at last
The tide that flows must ebb as fast.
All hail America, the great!
And may the ebbing tide come late

South Pokus folks are pious, man and

THINGS TO KNOW.

A bowl of hot milk taken immedi-
ately before retiring is said by some
who have suffered from insomnia to be
a better soporific than any opiate
known to medical science.
A lump or two of loaf sugar added
to the starch on washing days will give
an additional gloss.
Sunburn--If the skin gets dry and hot
from the effects of sea water and sun
wash the face with buttermilk two or
three times day; it has wonderfully
soothing and Softening properties.
Home made wine to be good should
not be tapped for drinking till it is at
least year old; at the end of that
time it should be bottled and allowed
to remain for another year if possible
to have it in fine condition.
When making pastry always use as
fine a flour as possible and roll in little
rolls always in the same direction. and
on no account roll pastry up and down.
In rolling the pressure must be put on
the rolling pin from the wrist, and roll
firmly but not heavily,
To clean brass and copper--Very fine
ly powdered bath brick rubbed on with
a piece of lemon will remove all stain
and tarnish from articles OF brass and
"copper" they should be rubbed over
with a clean, dry CLOTH then polished
with soft cloth OF leather.
A paste with which wall paper can
be attached to wood or masonry, ad-

to which, however, are added, after
boiling eight grams of good linseed oil

Of turpentine to every 800 grains.

CORD AND rAssEL EFFECT.

Elaborate girdles, strung with pearls

Themselves Up in Brooklyn.
The Society of Five Dont's," just or
ganized by Henry N. Niles, of $50 Quin-

to these five rules:
Don't ride simply for pleasure on

Don't read a Sunday newspaper on
Sunday.
Don't buy anything on Sunday, ex-

Don't mail letters on Sunday"
1t seems as if people must be in need
of something to do when they have time
to trouble themselves with such arti-
fetal and superfluous rules of conduct
as these. Instead of making life richer
they seek TO impoVerish it, and instead
of selecting the good in modern social
conditions they seek refuge in the anci-

KEEPING ANNIVERSARIES.
Celebrating Memorable Days Often the
Means of Keeping Up Family Ties.

The happiest households are those
that do not let die out the sentiment
connected with various anniversaries,
says the Philadelphia Times. Although
gift giving or recognition of such events
in a suitable way may be out of the
question, owing to the straitened cir
cumstances of those within the gates,
there can vet be a little air of festivity

dish, little bunch of flowers, or some

loving remembrance that count far
more than the money value of any gift.
