Lost Ideals.

Have we not all, amid life's petty strife
some pure ideal of noble life
Ihat once seemed possible? Did we not
hear
rhe flutter of its wings, and feel it near,
And just within our reach? 1t was,
And yet
We lost it in this daily Jar and fret,
And now we live in a Vague regret:
But still our place is kept, and it will
wait
Ready for us to fill it, soon or late;
NO star is ever lost we once have seen,
We always may be what we might have
been,
since GOD. though only thought, has life
and breath,
Gods, life can always be redeemed from
death,
And even. in its nature Is decay.
And an hour can blot it all away;
The hopes that lost in some far distance
seem
May be the truer life, and this the dream.

Celery Salad.


+ In winter salads. celery is especially
useful and of value. 1t must be white,
crisp and tender for this purpose, and
many constitute the salad or only a
part of it, according to how elaborate
or how simple you desire the salad
to be. Celery, andive, and cress may
De converted into very pretty salad,
especially if the celery is mixed with
mayonnaise and garnish of hard
boiled eggs is used. "A celery salad
should never be dressed long before it
is required for the table, or the eel
cry will lose its crispness and become
discolored. When the celery is cut,
throw it in cold water and only re-
move it in time to drain and wipe
perfectly dry before adding the dress
ing. The light. fresh appearance which
makes a salad of this kind so accep
table can only be preserved by hav-
ing all the green vegetables in the
combination absolutely fresh and
dressed at the very last minute before
serving.

The Guest Divine.

BY Amadeus, o. S. T.
For Christ make room within your hearts
Dispel the gloom that sin imparts;
Let truth and Grace,
And ligt efface
The working OF the tempter's arts!
''No room for Him, was once the cry
OF those who knew not angels nigh;
And so the Guest,
With Mary blest,
And Joseph, grieving, passed them by!
Do you a resting place prepare
For Him who comes your hearts tc
share:
May joy and peace
Find full increase,
And Christ abide forever there.

Seeing that he had to do with frivo-

nize his failing, the saint rejoined:
Very well; recite- the Greed for me
without distraction and I'll give you
my horse.
'"Tis a, bargain. said the man, and he
began the recitation at once. Before he
was half through with it, however, he
stepped and inquired of St Bernard:
"Wiil you give me the birdie, too?"

A Novelty For the Sick Room

Take a glass or pretty bowl, place in
it layer of cotton, then cover with
grains of wheat another layer of cot
ton, fill with water, and place. in the
window. The sprouts will grow fast,
and stay green for weeks if the vessel
is kept filed with water.
Another plan is to take a sponge,
soak well with water, fill all open
places places with fine grass or clover
seed, place in a saucer or fancy glass
dish of water. Many different effects
may be made by selecting an odd
shaped suonge.
For odd or curious hanging baskets.
for the window take carrots, beets or
turnips, cut away the roots and take
out all the inside. leaving a shell; put
ribbons through the sides, and fill with
water, hanging with tops down. These
are easily made, pretty and inexpen-

For Wintry Blasts.

With the first bitter blasts coats and
wraps come from their summer hiding
place. In coats there are two ex-
tremes. The very short, jaunty ones.
and those that are three-quarter
length. Whether the wearer be tall
or short, the woman who buys coat
for comfort knows that the latter
length is one that will keep her warm.

Let Us Take Time.

Let US take time for the evening
prayer. Our sleep will be more restful
if we have claimed the guardianship of
God. Let us take time to speak sweet
loving words to those we love. BY and
by when they can no longer hear us, our
simplicity will seem more wise than best
wisdom. Let us take time to read our
Bible. Its treasures will last when we
shall have ceased to care for the war of
political parties, the rise and fall of
stocks or the petty happenings of the
day. Let us take time to be pleasant.
The small courtesies which we often omit
because they are small will some day
look larger to us than the wealth which
we have coveted, or the fame for which
we have struggles. Let US take time to
get acquainted with our families. The
wealth YOU are accommodating, burdened
father. may be a doubtful blessing to the
son who is a stranger to you Your
beautifully kept house, busy mother. can
never be home to your daughter whom
you have no time to caress. Let US take
time to get acquainted with Christ The
hour is coming swiftly for us all when
one touch of his hand in the darkness
will mean more than all that is written
in the day book and ledger, or in the
record of our little social world Since
we must all take time to die, why should
we not take time to live TO live in the
large sense of a life begun here for eter-

A Simple Cure For chilblains.

For those who suffer from chilblains
in winter, l have good news, says a
reader. My remedy is simply potato
water
What the scientific explanation is I
cannot tell, but l can assure you that
the cure is certain and permanent, hav-
ing tried many so-called remedies to
no avail so was inclined to scott when
told of the curative virtue of potato
water.
Battle the feet in potato water, warm.
The relief VIII be instant.
The cure is so simple that even the
most skeptical can see no harm in try
ing it. When the attacks are frequent,
battle the feet two or three times day
in the water drained from boiled, pota
toes, having it as near hot as comfort
will allow.

Things to Remember.

Said a model housekeeper not long
since: Living is so different from a
few years ago, l cannot be as hos
pitable as would like to be because
those l would like TO entertain live SO
deliberately at home; a visit from them
would be robbed of much pleasure
through the fear that / might not come
UP to their standard of living But
l have neither time nor strength for
it, and | am out of all the big dinners,
teas, lunches and receptions that have
become so common. Ii money is need
Led for any good use outside of home
it is much easier for me to hand it
out from my purse than to buy, cook,
carry and serve the crowd who may
appear for a 't'en-cent supper" that
costs more than twice that to every
woman who has hand in it.

There are so many table fads now
adays that novice feels uncomfort-

Household Uses of Ammonia.

Ammonia is of such great value in
household matters that no housekeeper
should fail to keep a supply always At
hand. For instance, a few drops put
into the bath water will make it most
invigora ting. It's uses in cleaning ami
removing grease are manifold. When
freshly oiled sewing machine has left
yellow stains on the fabric sewn, these
can be removed by rubbing them over
with little liquid ammonia and then
washing in the ordinary way. Again,
a teaspoonful of ammonia in c,!pflil

elry, and few drops on the under side
of diamond will clean it Immediately
and increase its brilliancy When acid
has been spilled on cloth and has taken
out the color, ammonia should be APP
piled to the spot, after which little
chloroform rubbed on will, in almost
all cases, restore the color.

need be made should chance guest
come in at noon. Remember that what
is good enough for your own family
is just as good for a guest.
%
Never introduce an unpleasant sub
ject at the table. Do not ask about
the death, sickness or disaster of any
one. Such air is not good with the
meals. Leave all business cares and
worries in the Office or store, and all
household frets and domestic revolts
outside the dining room.

A PANTHER's DEN.

for a certain well gnawed array Of

this boneyard there was very tracea-
bic path leading through grass and
brush to the retreat where the dam
had housed her young. The evidence
here told plainly OF the cougars long
immunity from annoyance and attack
and Of a thoroughly cleanly habit Of
life. There was no bone or other sign
OF feasting about the lair. The dam

New Arrangement If TnlIs

There is a new and exceedingly pretty
way of wearing what has long been so
popular the tulle neck scarf and it's ro-
sette. They have been both in black
and white for several years as a neck
dressing for winter and summer. and
were worn with street dress as well as
with not only house gowns. but with
decollete ones also. This new genre is
of mlle, is double or triple and has a
rosette of the same at both ends, for
it is no longer fastened around the
neck, but passes below the neckband;
or If the gown is a collarless one, it
then passes below the necklaces in the
back. and must be long enough to he
carried frontwards, so that the rosettes
may be fastened on the gown close to
the shoulder line. They give par
ticularly dressy air. and seem to go
with the wearing of a hat in a charm

KISSING THE HAND
The Practice Vas Instituted by The
Early Roman Rulers

The practice Of kissing the hands
was instituted by the early Roman
rulers as a mark of subsection as much
as one OF respect. and under the first
Caesar the custom was kept up. but
only for time.
These worthless conceived the idea
that the proper homage due TO their
exalted station called for less familiar
modes of obeisance, so the privilege
Of kissing the emperor's hand was re-
served as a special mark of condescen-
sion or distinction for officers OF high
rank.
No such restriction, however, was
placed on the emperors themselves,
who. If they wished to confer signal
honor on any of their subjects. kissed
either the mouths or the eyes Of those
they wished specially TO favor. the kiss
generally inumating some promotion
or personal satisfaction for some
achievement.
Roman fathers considered the prac-
tlce of kissing Of so delicate a nature
that they never kissed their wives in
the presence Of their daughters.
Then, too, only the nearest relatives
We're allowed TO kiss their kindred of
the gentler sex on the mouth. for in
those days, as now, kissing was not a
mere arbitrary sign, but it was the
spontaneous language Of the affections,
especially that of love.
Under the Romans If a lover kissed
his hetrothed before marriage she in
herited half OF his worldly goods In the
event of his death before the marriage
ceremony, and If she died her heritage
descended TO her nearest relatives.
