The first time my husband walked in
with three extra people for dinner
nearly brought me to the verge of ner-
vous prostration. My dinner. already
cooked, consisted of four lamb chops,
six potatoes and two cups of custard
1t meant scramble and a polite re-
fusal of every dish on the table by my
husband and myself.
After that day I added what I
called an emergency shelf to my pan
try. On the shelf will be found one
bottle of salad dressing, one can of
lobster, one can of salmon, one can Of
deviled ham, three cans of assorted
soups, several bottles of fancy pickles
and a package Of banquet waters
Canned vegetables are, of course, a
necessity. AS soon as anything is used,
replace it at once.
The housekeeper who once starts an
emergency shelf will never let it drop
out of the pantry. She is amply re-
paid by having friends say they are
always certain she is prepared for
company. Chopped celery, ready for a
salad, can also be added; it makes a
nice addition to the list, as salads are
generally liked by all people.-Good
Housekeeping.

Some Good Advice.

II I felt tempted to do q young per-
son good turn | should arm him with
a pair of scissors, sheathed for his
pocket in neat case, and add thereto
the simplest and cheapest form of in
dexed file or portfolio. Then I would
ask the young person what subjects
really interested him. They might
be anecdotes Of uncommon intelligence
in the animal world, new feats in anna
teur photography, ingenious applica-
tions of the electric current, or fresh
triumphs Of mechanical ingenuity. On
these, or any other attractive themes,
| would ask him never to miss the
prompt clipping out an article from
his newspaper; then, in the course
of every year he would have a budget
of information on a subject near his
heart which would astonish him, when
ever he gave,an hour or two reviewing
it. by showing him how much richer
he was than If he had never started
this savings bank of knowledge.
Scores of valuable facts and hints
which. at the time of first reading, he
felt sure he would never forget here
confront him with all the surprise OF
new found treasure. And as the clip
ping habit becomes confirmed, 1t re-
deems the newspaper reader from the
utter gainlessness of the desultory
skinner of articles and paragraphs.
Empty, indeed, must be the Clarion of
the crossroads that doesn't yield some
small spoil to the eye alert for ac-
cumulation. 1t may be no more than
the weight of a prize pumpkin, or the
results of introducing n Norwegian
apple, but shall it not lt into the B
compartment in which botany has its
due garnering? That compartment,
doubtless, is already swollen with new
facts intended to be presented in an
essay on "Acclimation" for the local
horticultural society. 1t is the inten-
tion to use ones store that gives zest
to its gathering. Hence the cardinal
Importance that the young person
should at first be sparing, rather than
lavish in clipping.-Geo. lies.

We hear many stories Of many trees,
but they are not often endowed with
human characteristics; but you must
take Uncle Abner's word for it. He
was sitting on his porch telling it to
the young man from the city, who had
leaned his bicycle against the gate, and
was resting on Uncle Abner's step.
you see that there tree by the snow
ball bush, do you? The one out there
beyond the pump that looks sort O. sick
and guilty like? You notice some Of
the limbs drag down little, as if it
wasn't very well. Don't you take any
stock in 1t. That tree is just pretend
in. It's laying low and thinking Of
some dishonesty. It's the sharpeet
tree IN the yard, and as l said to
Abigail, there amt an honest leaf on
its top.
you know what dry season 1t was
last summer? Well, the grass in the
yard dried up, the trees begun to shed
their leaves in June. and in August
they looked just as il they had stepped
out of a brush heap, as I remarked to
Abigail. All 'cept that there maple
tree I'm talking bout. 1t never with
cred, nary leaf dropped off. The
hotter and drier it got the greener and
perter got that tree. While the other
trees were dropping and hanging their
heads that tree just stood up there as
clipper as you please, and waved its
limbs and rustled its green leaves in
the hot wind as if It was the middle
OF May.
Says I to Abigail, wouldn't take
a plumb thousand for that tree.
Il was proud Of that tree, and called
in all the neighbors to see it, and
Dragged bout it all summer. and got
the editor of Grit to speak about the
strange phenomenon at my place.
But all the time I was harboring a
vegetable viper in the bosom of my
yard-as the schoolmaster remarked.
1.-THE summer went on and that tree
never withered. and it's leaves didn't
drop Off until snow flew. Along in De-
cember the pump gave out, and l sent
for Lon Rogers. Lon can fix anything;
he's best on watches and grindstones
and such things with wheels in em,
but he's good at pumps, too. He said
it needed new valves, and he went to
the tannery and got some leather, and
he fixed 1t and charged me six shill-
ings, which 7 paid. Still, couldn't get
no water. So l went for Lon. This
| time it was the piston all wore out,
SO he fixed that, and charged me dol
lar forty, which l likewise paid.
mo water, however. So I went for
Ben Harkaway, and he pried off the
cover Of the cistern and went down
in. and hollered up there want any
water, which was the reason the pump
wouldn't pump. l had never known
that cistern to go dry before in twenty
years, 30 | says to Ben: 'Somethin g
wrong. Look about and find It, He
snooped around minute, and says he:
Well, II there amt pesky tree root

children, you are very little,
And your bones are very brittle;
If you would grow tall and stately
You must try to walk sedately.
You must still be bright and quiet,
And content with simple diet;
And remain, through all bewild'ring,
Innocent and honest children.
Happy hearts and happy faces,
Happy play in grassy places
That was how, in ancient ages,
Children grew to kings and sages.
But the unkind and the unruly,
And the sort who eat unduly,
They must never hope for glory
Theirs is quite different story.
Cruel children, crying babies,
All grow up as geese and gables,
Hatred, as their age increases,
BY their nephews and their nieces.

WHAT is 0vAnITIS?

A dull, throbbing pain, accompanied
by sense of tenderness and heat low
down in the side, with an occasional
shooting pain, indicates inflammation.
On examination it will be found that
the region of pain shows some swell
ing. This is the first stage of ovaritis,
inflammation of the ovary. If the roof
of your house leaks, my sister, you have
1t fixed at once; why not pay the same
respect to your own body?
You need not, you ought not to let
yourself go, when one of your own sex
holds out the helping hand to you, and
will advise you without money, and
without price. Write to Mrs. Pinkham,
