Poultney Bigelow, when he lectured
recently in London, says the Daily Mail
on "The Yankee as a Colonist" did not
appear to think much of him in that ca
pacity. He criticised the kind of man
who was sent out to do the administra.
tive work He did not think it followed
that because a politician got votes for
his party in NewYork he was the best
person to take charge of the postoffice al
Havana. England had built UP her
greatness through sending out the very
best men, who went to do nothing but
their duty, and were rewarded for doing
it. America was learning lesson we
learned some time ago. Mr.. Bigelow
opined that the Bible was the text book
of colonization and missionaries were
useful adjuncts.

The Way to Soften Hard Water.

when water is made hard by car.
Donate Of lime it may be softened by
the use of quick-lime, sal-soda or am
monia," writes Maria Parloa in the
Ladies' Home Journal. when there
is time to allow the water to settle
the lime is the best agent. To soften
with the lime have the water in a
large tank or hogshead. Pour enough
water on the quick-lime to slake it.
When it falls to powder add enough
water to make thin cream and then
stir into the water in the tank Use
one ounce Of lime for every 40 gal
Ions of water Do not let any unds-
solved lime go into the water. Allow
the water to stand for IL hours. For
softening with soda, dissolve a pound
of sal-soda in one quart of boiling
water and when cold bottle it. Add
gill of this liquid soda to about 20 gal
Ions Of water. Water that is discol-
ored by the soil, as is so often the case
after heavy rain or when the water
pipes are being repaired, should be
strained through Canton flannel"

BURIED THOUGHTS

How often does the chopper of SOME
stone,
While toiling at his task of heave and
shock,
Find in the heart-space of a severed
rock
The impress of some fern that once had
grown,
Full of aspiring life and color-tone.
Deep in the forest where the shadows
flock,
Till, caught within the adamantine
block,
1t lay for ages hidden and unknown!
So many a beautious thought blooms in
the mind
But, unexpressed. droops down into the
soul
And lies unuttered in the silence there
Until some opener of the soul shall find
That fern-like, fossiled dream, complete
and whole,
And marvel at its beauty past compare!

been put. Spread the corset on fiat

There used to be young man
named Stanwix who was rector of a
church at little town in New Jersey
called Appleburg. Very amiable young
man, not long in the ministry, and un-
married. Nice-looking chap, too, and
bright fellow, but he had his trials
at Appleburg. Mainly it was the wo-
men-they thought he ought to marry,
and of course they were right. But
thinking so wasn't enough for those
dear Appleburg ladies'; with the true
feminine desire 10 help they resolved
to see that he did marry. But here
again they showed a universal femi-
nine trait by refusing to combine and
work together. They all labored hard
enough. but Independently, and each
with a view to inducing the minister
to marry different woman.
