many millions-so are we.

his father is a fanatic or only sane

very often the meanest man in the
neighborhood
The hope of beirg elected to public
office has saved many politician
from the penitentiary.
The studied hypocrisy of men has
driven me to doubt everything but
mans simple ignorance.
The desires not gratifed on earth
are the pigments with which men
paint the skies of their heaven.
We tremble at the immutable: are
awed by the inscrutable; aggravated
by the unsuitable; but are obliged to
bow to the inevitable. { r

While jackets and the longer coats

WISE or OTHERWISE,

Envy is the lowest known form Of
praise.
The virtues a woman boasts of she
seldom possesses.
A woman seldom forgives until
after she forgets.
The beauty of some photographs lies
in the background.
The man who invented work ought
to have finished it.
Brilliant falsehoods dazzle more eyes
than gems Of truth.
A man who wants to be mean never
wants an opportunity.
A man is not wholly bad if his dog
has confidence in him.
BY stopping to think a woman gives
her tongue an occasional rest.
1t is easier to protect ones self from
an enemy than from fool friend
But one thing is greater than sue
cess, and that is another effort after
failure.
we read of the seven ages of man.
out one age is ample for the average
woman.
When couple marry under the rose
they usually walk on a path of thorns
ever after.
Saying mean things is the one bad
habit cultivated most assiduously by
the average woman.
. The young man on salary of Sc a.
week is apt to think his best girl dear

The wise girl always rearranges the
parlor furniture Immediately after a
young man has called.
When woman marries e man to
reform him the poor fellow is up
against heroic treatment.
Every time woman reads of a man
committing suicide she wonders what
other woman was at the bottom of it.

HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS.

A Jew drops of turpentine in hot
starch adds luster to ironed linen.
Arrowroot tied in a thick cotton rag
and boiled with linens and cottons i'm
parts an odor to them that is pleasing.
English pottery with Dutch notices
seems an anomaly and rather incon-
gruous, but the effect is quaint and at
tractive. Candlesticks with strange
birds and beasts appeal to the eye.
Silk and linen are woven together to
make the handsomest table damask.
Sometimes the goods is brought out
in mauve, gold and white and an es-
pecially pretty pattern was all in soft
rosy pink.
A shelf supported by brackets and
from which falls a curtain is a good
scheme to conceal a radiator. Then
the shelf may be embellished by large
brass or copper pot or a few pieces of
bric-a-brac
To avoid wrinkling bodices and jack
cts they should be hung on frames such
as men use for their coats, winding the
frames first with cloth or silk, upon
which, if desired, orris or other sachet
powder may be sprinkled.
Little used mating, as in spare
chambers or upper summer rooms,
should be swept very clean, then wiped
with a cloth wrung out of sweet milk.
Do this once year-it keeps the straw
live and to degree plant. If the milk
wash is used in living DOM or on a
piazza, follow it by wiping with very
hot clear water to keep the floor from
drawing f1ies-Chicago News.

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.

Most women's politics, like most
mems religion, is best done by proxy
by the other party.
He who makes a practice of deceiv-
ing others is often the worst fooled
man in the crowd

an earthwork behind which we can

A debt paid when needed is doubly

long delayed is oft but half way paid.
Those who dislike US serve us in a
certain way, for they put us on our
mettle to disprove their disbelief in
us.
TO justify an injury to another by a
good motive is to plume an arrow for
Satan with feather from the wings
of our spirit selves.
Mock-modesty, like patch, is used
to cover hole, place where the in
tegrity OF the cloth or character is
broken or wholly lacking
Misfortune is tide that sweeps
small souls under and browns little
minds, and bears great and brave ones
on to noble and generous heights .
When good mothers teachings
leave manhoods best lessons un-
learned and his self-respect failing, no
wife, however loving, can reform him.
We seldom forgive those we have in
jured, and the effort to justify our
selves makes us willing, aye, eager, to
believe any false or evil we can place
between them and our conscience.
