Sanity Faces.

Sometimes, in passing through q
crowd, we see a face that attracts us
by its sweetness of expression. Per-
haps it is an old face, crowned with a
glory of hoary hairs; yet love, joy and
peace shine out of every dot and wrin-
kle in it. Sometimes it is a young face
that beams with health and purity and
beauty. But, whether old or young,
when we see that unmistakable soul
light in a face, we know that the heart
behind it is pure, the life is good and
that the body thus Illuminated is the
temple of the Holy Spirit. To keep
the mind occupied with good, pure, USE
full, beautiful and divine thoughts pre-
cludes the possibility of thinking about,
and thus being tempted by things sin
full, low or gross. It is because ST.
Paul knew this that he says so earnest
ly: Finally, brethren, whatsoever
things are true. whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are of good report think
of these things" In the well-formed
habit of thinking pure thoughts lies
the secret of being pure in heart: and
in the daily and nightly meditation in
the law of the Lord is a safeguard
against many of the sins which defile
the carnal heart and debase and black
en- the countenance.

A Unitarian ON Mixed Marriage.

1 would like to say here just word
touching the matter of religion. There
are happy marriages of people who are
wide as the poles apart in their relig-
ious faith, but they are exceedingly
rare, and it seems to me a very dan
gerous experiment to try. l know cases,
and they are always pitiful, where the
man, who has no religion at all, has a
wife who is very religious. He is toll
Grant toward it; he engages her a pew
in the church she prefers to attend; he
does not go. He may not say much
about it, he looks upon her as a sort
of half-developed child because she
cares for those things: there is look
ing down it with a supercilious kind of
tolerance. There is no sympathy,
there is no eart-to-heart contact,
union of purpose and ideal concerning
these things, that, if they mean any
thing, mean the deepest and highest
things in human life. 1t seems to me
that, other things being equal, it is
worth very serious consideration, on
the part of people who are thinking of
getting married as to whether they
have at least sympathy and mutual
respect concerning the religious atti-

How to Cure a Fit of the Blues,

A large volume might be written
upon the various methods employed
by different men and women to help
Danish melancholy. There are few
of us who, like Mark Tapley. find it
easy to be jolly under adverse circunl-
stances, and so the subject of "cheeA
ing up receives more or less consid-
GRAFTON from those who are subject to
vapors.
With masculinity the cure is almost
always the same, and this page hest
tates to mention what it is. At all
events, it is not thing that cheers
without inebriating
There are masculines, however. who
find solace for the ups and downs
of this wicked world in an old and
extremely unpreposessing pipe, in a
Kipling story favorite newspaper or
a Turkish bath. The average lord of
creation doesn't care fer feminine So
ciety when the world is all deep blue
to him. He wants to shake off dull
care by himself, or in the siciety of a
few choice spirits. It's very unfiatter-
ing to me to think of it, but l have
care by himself, or in the society of a
silly fox terrier was more welcomed
by a misanthropic individual in
smoking Jacket than the loveliest of
his sisters.
The average feminine, to the con-
trary, cheers up best, generally speak
ing, in a crowd. There are exceptions
to this rule, of course. There was one
Mrs. Josephine. for instance, who in
variably sat on a certain round topped
and uncomfortable trunk, with her face
buried beneath an enormous old-fash-
toned bonnet when she felt dismal. She
never even looked at this trunk at other
times, and the bonnet was buried in
oblivion and bandbox until an ex-
treme case of lowness of mind necessi-
tated its disinterment, when out it
came, to give the observers the chills
! with its ugliness.
There was another lady who read
Fox's Book of Martyrs" as a chaser
elegantly, and, finding her lot delight
full. contrasted with some of the boiled
and beheaded people described in that
volume, gradually came out of her
| lachrymose state and into a cheerful
one in plenty of time to put on her
prettiest frock for dinner
The matinee is prescribed by certain
maids for those who feel that there is
nothing worth living for; a long, brisk
walk by others cup of tea, a hair
shampoo or brushing, welsh rarebit,
a new diamond ring, a dinner party, a
spring hat. a blowing up of the serv-
ants and a good cry by others.
Each feminine creature has a pre-
scription of her own, all of more or less
value to the medical profession, which
is nothing if not callous in the matter
of melancholia. There are few men or
women, however why try to rise SUI
perior to disordered mind and come
out strong under adverse circum-
stances. The possibility of doing so
doesn't even seem to occur to the af-
flicted ones.

CASTLES IN THE AIR.

tator, May II, 1922
Where is my castle in the air,
My true selfs home and palace fair?
Its towers high-built in land of cloud,
With dream-wrought pageantry endowed
A place of moon-enchanted air
With glistening spires and turrets, Wher'
With magic spell the orbed queen
Weaves warp and woof of shade anC
sheen,
And trimming stars spill from the sky
The jewels of their galaxy?
Or is't a place of moss-grown walls,
Where sad. sweet memory recalls
The deeds of other spacious days
Far past, yet ringing with mems praise
Or upland cot in some far dale?
Or where in deep sequestered vale
A twilight bower meath forest trees,
Drowsy with hum of honey-bees,
Tempts men to sleep and dream away
Or is't among the thronging feet
OF crowding multitudes, the street
Resembling TO loud drum and fife,
The trumpets glare. the changing strife,
And peoples voice acclaiming far
Some mighty victor from the war?
All, no, all, no! my true home there,
Mhere my glad spirit debOnaT
Can range. from vain temptations free,
To list diviner melody;
The songs of life and love and truth,
OF child's romance, of manhood's ruth,
OF quiet joys and simple ways,
The dear wife's smile, the good friend 5
praise:
The laugh at ills by Fortune sent,
The scorn of cynic argument
How wiles eXpedient may redress
The balance Of the More and Less,
Forgetful that TO dare and fail
is better than to win and quail.
Nay, this my chiefest aim and mark
To be myself then days may dark,
My souls at peace. my heavens all light,
Afar or near, at noon, at night,
Hap then what Will. or veal or woe,
Conscience will crown me. and !. so,
King of myself. shall everywhere
Be my own home and palace fair.

Pumpkin Pie.

The ingredients for pumpkin pie are
one and a half cupfuls of pumpkin
pulp, two cupfuls of milk, one tea
spoonful each of salt, butter, cinnamon
and ginger, one tablespoonful of mo-
lasses, two eggs and sugar to taste. Cut
the pumpkin into small pieces, remove
the soft part and seeds. Cook in
steamer until tender, then remove
cover and cook until the water has
evaporated This will require some
care, as pumpkin burns easily. When
it has become sufficiently dry press the
pulp through a colander and it is ready
to be mixed with the other ingredients.
Stir in the salt, butter, cinnamon, gin
ger, molasses and sugar. When the
mixture has cooled beat the eggs and
stir them in, Line a deep pie dish with
pie crust and fill with the mixture.

cohol. More than half the pleasure in
exercise is in the sensation of revivi-
flcation obtained from this dry bath,
for when damp underwear is replaced
with that which is dry one feels like
new or newly made person, so re-
freshed and invigorated has he be-
come. Catching cold is frequently the
result of neglect to properly care for
yourself after exercising.
From the ages of 10 to 10 years
children should not~bathe more than
twice week, although, of course, a
sponge bath should be taken daily. A
good, lingering plunge bath once a
week is sufficient for cleanliness, but
less than that certainly is not. The
temperature of the water should be
about 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the
best time for the bath is just before
tumbling into bed, although this is not
absolutely essential. If taken at any
other time it should be subsequented
by cold or cool shower.
From 16 to q years the baths for
cleanliness are the same. A tub bath.
with the temperature of the water
varying between 90 degrees and 20
degrees Fahrenheit, may be taken
every DAY on rising from bed. In place
of it a shower bath for about three
minutes, with the water at so degrees
Fahrenheit, may be substituted, but
when this shower bath is used the tub
bath at 80 degrees Fahrenheit should
never be INDUCED in more often than
once a week. To all adults in good
health these rules apply until the first
effects of age are manifested.
Never take a bath within two hours
of a hearty meal. The first effect of
immersion in either warm or cold
water is grave arrangement of the di-
gestive process. A subsequent physio-
logical effect is the arrangement of
the entire nervous system, something
which is extremely dangerous to the
bather. There are countnless instances
of severe illness and even of death
caused by bathing while the stomach
was full"

How to STRENGTHEN the Muscles

How to Strengthen the Muscles.
The girl who plays golf in summer
time suffers more from tired muscles
than she who INDUCES in the same
recreation in spring or fall.
In the fall of the year there are the
stiffening breezes and even spring has
its bracing winds. But in the sum
MGR there is feeling of relaxation
from the heat, and this bodies i'll for
the girl who is going to indulge in the
golf tournaments later on.
An English golf expert says that he
keeps his muscles firm by the daily
lifting of chair. His method is this:
In the morning, after he has his
breakfast, he seats himself in front Of
the window, and, taking a chair in his
right hand, he raises it over his head,
holding 1t there as long as possible.
Later in the day he again takes the
chair exercise. This time he holds it
aloft on his feet and keeps them ex
tended as long as possible.
They say that if a child of lifts a
chair in its right hand, and is taught
TO do so daily, that the muscles will
stay firm without effort unto old age.
The chair must be small and light
and the child must be made to under
stand that it is a sort of play.

Few athletes have had the advantage
of early training. AS a rule they take
up athletics later in life as a fad. and
the first months were difficult ones. for
they began with set of soft muscles.

just the required time for cooking and

skim and add a pound of granulated
sugar to each pint of juice; cook five
minutes longer. Dinse glasses in cold
water before pouring in the jelly to

traNed with pencil close under the
rounding edge.
Never wear a shoe with a sole turn
ing up very much at the toes, as this
causes the cords on the upper part of
the foot to contract.
Never have the top of the boots
tight as it interferes with the action
of the calf muscles, makes one walk
badly and spoils the shape of the
ankle.
Never think that the feet will grow
large from wearing proper shoes.
Pinching and distorting make them
grow not only large. but unsightly. A
proper natural use of all the muscles
makes them compact and attractive.

Banking and Money Matters.
The new banks started by Americans will
probably make money. Interest rates are
very high and the people will borrow to the
full extent OF their possibilities. The court
spends a great deal and. notwithstanding
the poverty Of the masses, there are mobiles
who live as extravagantly as our rich men
at nome. Among the poor and out in the
interior copper cash is the principal cur
rency. 1t takes q thousand and more cash
to equal the value Of a silver dollar, and IL
one travels far he must take along an extra
mule or bullock to carry his money
Extort1on is often practiced by the
higher officials, and during the winter es-
pec1ally there Is danger from robbers AS
result the natives have curious ways of
concealing their money. They make the
earth their safe deposit boxes. They dig
a pit In the yard back Of the house and
cover Its bottom with cash. They now
spread some earth over the cash and reduce
It to a mud by sprinkling 1t with water.
fhey DO this when the thermometer Is be-
low freezing point. and in short time
mass. Then they sprinkle more money on
top OF this and follow with another layer
OF mud. This Is frozen in turn, and SO Il
goes on until all the money Is thus embed
ded. The earth near the top of the Dit con-
ta1ns no money, but as 1t is well wet down
1t Is also frozen solid and remains so until
spring. FRANK G.. CARPENTER.

From time to time for many years dis
cussions have arisen regarding the prac-
ticability OF public kitchens where the
poor could buy wholesome and nutritive
cooked food at small cost, and sporadic at
tempts have been made here and else
where to establish such places. As re-
suit Of a recent revival Of the question a
conference was held by the household eco

projects were about balanced.
