The Vice of Envy

Envy is a senseless passion. Envy and
covetousness are generally found in
company. What others have is not
necessarily taken from us. Were they
deprived of it, we should be no better
off. 1t is unwise to be always drawing
comparisons between ourselves and
what we have and othels and their pos
sessions. The whole sum of happiness
in the world is not so great that we need
wish less portion to anyone. We need
not enjoy the less what we have because
another has more. We conld easily find
those quite as deserving, who have
much less than us to make then happy.
Let us rather be glad when we see
others prosperous or happy. 1t would
make miserable world of it were we
the happiest people in it. No one ID
wholly happy; then let others enjoy tc
the full all they have to make them so
and let us be glad that they have &c
much The surest proof of being en-
dowtd with noble qualities is to be free
from envy. Milwaukee Journal

A Left-Handed PARTY.

A hostess often finds difficulty in en-
tertaining her young friends. Here is
a novel way to spend an evening
which will afford amusement to old
and young. In sending out invitations
request each guest to come with the
right hand securely bound up. Let no
one be excepted. When the hostess
greets them she extends her left
hand and gets them to write their
names in a blank book on her desk.
The page will soon have the appear
ance of three year-old's first attempt
to write. Some soloist may play her
own left-handed accompaniments, and
an elocutionist recitp. making all her
gestures with her left hand. The
menu must include some thing that
will demand the use of spoon. to
add to the awkwardness of the left
hand community.

Harmonious Dress.

The minor accessories of dress 60
far toward making complete cos
tune, and form the finishing touches
of what the French call harmonious
dressing. A well dressed woman need
not necessarily be extensively dressed.
She is the woman, the various articles
Of whose attire are becomingly and
suitably, as well as fashionably,
chosen, tremendously combined, care
fully put on, and who realizes the
value of having the little details of
dress correct. A Worth gown, dia-
mond stomacher, or sable wrap can
not atone for a torn corset cover. a
frowzy petticoat. torn glove or a
pair of crooked heels. There is an
old saying that lady may be known
by the gloves and shoes she wears.
That most women are very particular
about the shoes they wear and expect
great things from the merchants who
cater to their needs Is evident in the
extensive, varied and choice selections
df footwear from which women may
choose what Dleases them hest.

Canned DandeIions.

Dig and clean the dandelions as for
present use, cutting off all bits of the
roots, as they have a tendency to
make the greens bitter. After they
are thoroughly cleansed, boil for thir-
ty minutes in water enough to cover,
into which has been put a good.sized
handful of salt. Then pour off the
first water and put in enough more
water to cover them, slightly sailed,
which should be ready hot. Cook I'M
til about twothirds done, dip out
while hot into jars prepared as for
canning berries or fruit, fill in all the
dandelions the jar will hold and pour
in sailed hot water until the glass
jar is completely free from air spaces,
and screw on the cover, put in dark
corner of the cellar, and when the
storms of winter are beating against
your dwelling they will taste as nice
as newly dug green's if the sailed wat
er is poured off and they are boiled
about twenty minutes in fresh water.

Masculine Observation.

Married life is always a duel be-

Every man is a hero to somebody,
and every man is somebody to hero.
When a woman refuses man she
most always insinuates that he knows
she is so weak that he ought not to
urge her.

a rich girl as it is with poor one, and
it's lot easier to fan out of love with
