o trifiing tasks, SO often done,
Yet ever to be done anew!
o cares that come with every sun.
Morn after morn, the long years through!
We shrink beneath their paltry sway,
The ikrsome calls of every day.
The restless sense Of wasted power,
The tiresome round of little things
Are hard to bear as hour by ho6r
Its tedious iteration brings.
Who shall eyade or who delay
The small demands of every day?
M Elizabeth Akers Allen.
We honsekeepers are too apt to think
of our vocation as embodying much
that is simple, trivial, petty; daily
round Of 'pottering," Emo account"
duties that has nothing to show for it
at set OF sun.

one tired woman, "and it seems to me

"rising up and sitting down, doing the
same things over and over again, with
no prospect of ever getting through. -

there may be. The same dishes to wash
three times a day. The same tangled
curls to brush and dirty little faces and
hands to hattie and kiss each night
and morning. The same lamps to fill,
vegetables to prepare, floors to sweep,
rooms to dust, insects to circumvent,
table to set, cooky- jar to fill, day in
day out The same linen to make sweet
and clean, and comfortable every week.
The same stockings to mend, tears to
darn, little garments to make and keep
in order, month after month. But
these are not trivial tasks. Upon their
faithful, loving performance rests that
most beautiful superstructure, the
happy, well-ordered home, which
Beeoher says should be an ovation to
the memory singing to all our after life
melodies and harmonies of old remem-
bered joys. Let us then magnify our
Office, realizing that with this end in
view, what might otherwise be drudgery
becomes but part of the divine plan.
There is growing understanding of
the fact that to some arrangement of
the digestive organs may be traced half
the rnaladies that flesh is heir to. If
the stomach attends strictly to its own
duties, there is hope for weak heart,
torpid liver, a laboring lung,
diseased kidney. If the stomach fails,
the whole body collapses. Up-to-date
physicians are now making a special
study of that important organ, and
preparing dictaries to suit individual
cases. An eminent specialist in Wash
ington, who has been signally success
full with his patients, gave this menu
lately to man whose trouble came
from a lack of gastric juice. His
directions were: For poor diges-
tion, eat little and often. .

II all women starting on a journe,
realized that the porter was held re
sponsible for each shortage in sheets

pay" said Pullman porter recently
during a Jranscontinental trip. g
'spose women think they're beating
the railroad company when they wall
off with the towels, but every cent o
it comes out of the porter's wages, an,
when he only gets 800 month tina
seems a good deal to lose.
This is not pleasant theme to toucl
upon, but much may be forgiven Il
one who has recently passed the tryinl
ordeal of having a rat die under th
floor. Search for the inconsiderat
rodent was unavailing for ssvera
hours, and it seemed as if the who'll
house would have to be torn down t
find the malodorous cause of our woe

back with three or four flies in

having first taken the precaution :
close doors and windows. In a fe,
