FOUR GOOD HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
TO obtain onion juice, press the cut
sides of a. raw onion against the crater,
and move it slowly. The juice will run
off the corner of the crater.
To keep lemons as well as to improve
their flavor, put them into more than
enough water to cover them and change
it every day or two.
When sweeping room, always work
toward the fireplace, otherwise the draft
from the chimney draws the dust in that
direction and scatters 1t about the room.
To remove any dish from mold when
cold wrap hot cloth about the outside
Of the mold for a minute or two. To
remove a hot dish, wrap a cold cloth
about it.
HOW TO PREPARE sALTED PEA
NUTS.
Take the raw nuts and remove the
shell and, brown inner covering. Melt a
tablespoonful of good butter In an agate
ware pam, or pie plate. The nuts should
Just cover the bottom Of the plate.
Sprinkle with salt, and place in mod
crate oven. Watch carefully, stirring
the nuts from time to time, so that all
parts of them will come in contact with
the butter and salt. When lightly brown
ed and crisped on the outside they are
done. The nuts should be prepared as
they are needed, as they soon spoil and
soften If kept on hand.
Sailed almonds may be prepared in the
same way as sailed peanuts, tho almonds
being first blanched by pouring boiling
water over them, when the brown skins
will easily slip of.

THE REVOLUTION.
1t has been placed to Washington's
credit that he served during the Revolu-
ton without pay. His expense account,
however, was paid by order OF con-
gress, and, being one of the richest men
in the country at that time, he could
well afford to relinquish the meager sal
airy given to officers.

e t THE following are, in order
beginning with 1901, the dates of Easter
for the first twenty-five years of the
century: April Z, March so, April 70, 8,
%, Is, March 81, April 8, II, March q,
April l6. Z March %, April u, 4, %,
S, March 81, April 20, L. March q, April
16, /, 20, II. The earliest possible date
ron which Easter can occur is March %.
The last time it occurred on this date
was in 1918, but it will not occur again
until after the twentieth century. The
latest Easter can occur is April 26, and
st will thus occur but once in the COM
ing century-in 1943. The last time it
occurred was April 26, 1856. Whenever
Easter occurs on March q or April 8, 10,
II or "a, Christmas also occurs on Sun
day.
Though one of the objects aimed at
by the church authorities who fixed upon
the method of determining the date of
Easter was to prevent its occurring on
me same day as the Jewish Passover,
nevertheless the two events will occur
together four times in the twentieth CEN
tury-April 12 1903 April l, 1923; April
i, 1927 and April 10, 1881.
Several attempts have been made to
make Easter an immovable festival,
as is Christmas, but they We're unsuc-
ecssful. There is no reason why Easter
should shift about from month to
month. If Christ was crucified on Good
Friday and rose from the dead on Eas-
ter day these dates should be as i'm
movable as the day on which he was
born-Christmas.

If men were called to face the work OF
a whole life time at any moment" says
an exchange, 'the strongest man would
fail; but because that work is divided
into fragments, the weakest man, Il he
has courage, is able to carry the load. A
stout heart, in the old sense of the words,
is one of the best gifts,-the temper which
disposes one to be cheerful, hopeful and
buoyant which refuses to see the dark
side of things. to feel the oppression of
work, or to sit down under the shadow
of possible calamities. The darkest night
has it's dawn. and the hardest life its
beautiful and eternal contamination.
Trials and labors, however oversha dow
ing and severe, can come to us only
day at time. We are called to meet them
all at once AS the mamma was renewed
every morning for the need OF those that
were ahungered, so the Divine strength
renewed every day to those who look to
that strength for their support and guild

Many persons think that they might
cease to be fretful and miserable If they
had plenty of money Listen to the wise
Franklin on this subject: Money never
made man happy yet" he says. There
is nothing in its nature to produce happ!-
ness. The more a man has, the more
he wants. Instead of filing vacuum,
it makes one. A great bank account can
never make a man rich, 1t is the mind
rich, however much money or land he
may possess, who has a poor heart"
Days VS. Hours.
The happy have whole days, and those
they choose;
The unhappy have but hours. and those
they lose. -Colley Clbber.
To worry Is TO Throw Dust.
TO worry is to throw dust into ones
eyes, to tread on upward-pointing pins
and needles, to annoy the breast with
needless gasps and groans. We. as a
people, are nervous, frctful and forebod-
ing. The reins are ever falling from our
hands, whilst the Infatuated Steods are
flying with cur lives. Apparitions of
disaster begloom the day; horrible night
mares murder our sleep, and ghosts OF
forgotten sorrows stalk through the
night: We are conceived i'll fear and
brought forth in forebodings Our child
hood is nursed in the lap of uncasiness.
We are forced to being life wrong We
are plunged at once into the midst OF a
tremendous battle. Each is against the
other. Everywhere are weapons pointed
at us which we must dodge and escape,
or disgrace and defeat will follow. Life
is game of give and take every
hour, every moment; and he Is already
slain whose back is turned Henry
