Some People We Meet.

1t takes all kinds of people to make
the world, but there is one kind that
believes the world owes them enter
tainment. These people, without no.
ticeable appreciation or reciprocal ton,
sit calmly down to be entertained.
Have You ever had visitors who
favor you with a lengthy, sometimes
heightened visitation and allow you
to wear out nerve tissue and strength
in their entertainment without moving
an appreciative muscle? They oblig-
ingly inform you of a list OF places or
sights they expect to see, and your
Hospitality carry out their programme
to the letter. But you cannot see ethat
they have enjoyed themselves. 1t was
dusty in the park; the Shakespeare
play ought to have a Booth or at
least decent actors, etc, until you sre
out of patience-but try to be char
liable for it may be that coming from
out of town they may fear to express
admiration or appreciation lest they
be suspected of being unsophisticatel.
Then there are the selfishly silent
people who attended every social
function, but never put themselves out
to keep the conversation ball rolling.
They may be moody or absent minded
persons: they may be reticent or I'M
demonstrative in temperament, but
they are uncomfortable people to
meet. They make one indorse a wom-
ans rendition of Franklin that IF
we must give an account for every
idle word, so must we for every idle
this additional epigrani:
IF the silent people more frequently
themselves, the chatterboxes
might have time to improve their
minds in occasional listening

The Little Blue Shoes.

Tracey Foster Keith.
I've a drawer full of tiny white gar
ments
OF linen and lace laid away
Where the tears tremble in through
my fingers
AS I fondle them over each day,
And there, carefully placed in their
corner,
Lest some trace of expression they
That his wee dimpled feet have worn
Are my dead darling's little blue
shoes.
How the dainty, immaculate dresses
Seem to breathe of the innocent
charms
OF the tiny plump shoulders they fit
ted,
And the curve of the dear clasping
arms
Lives for me in the sleeves and folded,
But my pitiful comfort 1 choose
For the semblance of baby warmth in
From the worn, faded little blue
shoes.
In the hood, with its fluffy down Dor
der
And the soft. cosy cloak. 1 can see
The bonny face trimming with laugh
ter
And the azure eyes dancing with
glee,
With his ringlets like strands spun of
sunlight
What treasure to have and to lose,
Just when he was learning to patter
At my side in his little blue shoes.
The ribbons that laced DER the instep
/ retie in their quaint, pretty bows.
And the print of his lips / distinguish
Where in rapture he tasted his toes;
L nestle my face down upon them.
And the wealth of the earth I'd re-
fuse
Ere I'd part with a crease or a Wrinkle
OF the two cunning little blue shoes.
In the silence outside of my window.
The wintry moon shines cold and
stern
Where in his bleak grave at Mount
Bethel,
Meath the snow drifted over the
fern,
Lies the form that 1 so loved to cud-
die,
Which 1 find in my dreams but to
lose
When 1 wake, and alone in the mid
night
Go and cuddle the little blue shoes.

And the blackbird he never could better
the tune,
The tune that my red colleen sings.
There is not rose in the wind blowing
red,
In the bog there's no canna-flower
white.
But would fain make crown for my
colleen madh's head,
And would die on her breast Tith de-
light.
I'd follow you on to the hearthstone of
hell,
No Judgment our fortunes should
sever.
My hearts in your bosom and there it
must dwell,
My little colleen forever.
And oh, when my hearts beating wild
like a bird
That is breaking it's fine silken teth-

And our share of the world has been
seen and been heard
We will go our last journey together.

Practical Education For Girls.

The benighted English girl l. in a
! fair way to be made wiser, if not hap
! pier. gentleman who evidently feels
! competent to instruct her proposes
through the London Daily Mail a
! school for her education in the prac-
teal details of everyday life,
The pupils at this projected institu-
| ton are to be taught how to alight
| from an electric car without endanger-
/ ing their own safety and that of in
nocent pedestrians. They will be
taught how to open d window and
put up a shade in a railway car; what
kind of shoes to wear to foster their
health and comfort, and when to wear
them; how to tie a knot other than
a granny" knot, and how to fill a
fountain pen. Says the enthusiastic
promoter of this new educational ven
ture:
I'VE shall teach the art of folding
clothes, both women's and mems.
(How many women can fold a dress
coat) We shall teach the proper
method of doing up umbrellas and
trimming lamps, and opening pack
ing cases and tin cans, and driving
nails and pulling corks and lighting
fires.
This last, by the way. is an accom-
plishment that should be taught in
every school in the country, but of
course, is not. The comfort of mil
lions of persons depends on it every
day.
We shall also instruct in the care
and feeding of dogs and other animals,
and show, for instance, why it is wrong
to give dogs chicken bones. The
theory of sanitation also we shall
teach, Of which most women know
nothing at all, and we shall give prac-
teal demonstrations of the effect of
grease on the lining of pipess, and the
reasons for keeping it as far as pos
sible out of sinks.
we shall teach economy, false and
true. We shall have lectures on the
prices of all household things, and of
the quantity required for so many of
so few persons, and we shall show
that in most cases the best is the
cheapest. And every girl in my school
shall have a pocket Purse carrying
in the hand will be forbidden"
No one has dared to suggest that the
American girl needs any such school
ing. If any rash man did. she would
probably retort that she had a few lit
tie accomplishments of her own, and
that she could teach him as much as
he could teach her. This might be
true. and yet it may be that even
American girls could learn some |
things at such a school as our English |
friend has projected.-Catholic Tran |

Choosing a Wife.

We are told of a young man in Phi
ade;phia, who, counting one of three
sisters, happened TO be on visit to
her, when all the three were present,
and when one said to the others, l
wonder where our needle is Upon
which he withdrew, as soon as was
consistent with politeness, resolve
never to think more of a girl who pos
sessed a needle only in partnership,
and who. it appeared. was not too well
informed as to the place where even
that share was deposited.
There is, however, one way of rough
ly guessing the qualifications of a girl
for the most responsible position of
wife. Find out the character of her
mother, and whether the daughter has
been a good one and a good sister, Ask
yourself, if you respect as well as adj
mire her, and remember the words of
Fichte: mo true and enduring love
can exist without esteem; every other
draws regret after it, and is unworthy
of any noble SOUL
Thackeray said of women: What
we (men) want for the most pAct is
a humble, f1attering, smiling, child
loving, tea-making being, who laughs
at our jokes, however old they may be,
coaxes and wheedles us in our hum ~,
and fondly lies to us through life
And he says of a wife: She ought
to be able to make your house oleas-
ant to your friends; she ought to az
tract them to it by her grace. Let 1t
be said of her: What an uncommonly
nice women Mrs. Brown isl Let her
be, if not clever, an appreciator of
cleverness. Above all, let her have a
sense of humor, for a woman with0 It

her, for he knows that when her criti-
cism is most severe, it is spoken in
love and for his own good. Lord Bea-
described his wife as the |

After a Year.

Is it year or yesterday
Since we were last together, love.
Since from my side you turned away
To seek some alien star above,
Too far for ken of mortal clay
Is it year or yesterday?
Is it a year or yesterday
Since was called upon to bear
A grief no balm can e'er allay,
A woe that none may see or share?
Since you have vanished, say, or say,
Is it year or yesterday?
Is it a year or yesterday
Since laughter died upon my lips,
And l became too sad to pray,
For all my stars went in eclipse,
And hopes aurora paled to gray
Is it a year or yesterday?
Is it year or yesterday?
"a year." cries Loneliness, "a year."
But Pain with pallid lips cries Nay!
Too fierce the pang. too fresh the tear,
Too present seems the souls dismay,"
Is it year or yesterday?

CONQUER Yourself.

It's no use to grumble and sigh,
It's no use to worry and fret,
1t is useless to groan or to cry.
Or fling yourself down in a pet.
You'll never be wise or be great,
If you buster like bees when they
swarm:
IT'S folly your woes to berate,
And pitch like a ship in a storm.
Don't get in a tantrum and shout
When obstacles rise in your path,
And don't-let me beg of you-pout,
BY way of displaying your wrath;
Don't butt out your brains just to spite
Some fancied injustice of Fate,
For time viii set everything right,
If you only have patience and wait.
The clustering wind cannot chill
The lake. though he ruffles its face,
But the frost, with his presence so
still.
Locks it fast in a silent embrace.
So you may win fame beyond price
And conquer the world with its pelf,
If you only viii heed this advice,
And learn to conquer yourself.

Be Not Afraid.

When oppressive care o'ertakes you,
And you face a world of wrong,
And life's sunshine quite forsakes you
Then dispel the gloom with song.
When midst duty men eceive you,
And stern fate holds you fast,
And when thoughtless friends begrieVe
you,
Mind you-joy will come at last.
Look around you, look above you,
Everywhere is conq'ring grace!
God is mindful; angels love you;
See in all His smiling face.
Then. be true when cares o'ertakes you.
Stand more firm amidst the wrong:
Love divine will ne'er forsake you
Love is wise, AMI love is strong.

We say that our thoughts are not
known by our fellows; but that is not
as true as we deem it when we say or
think this to be the case. The tenor
of our thoughts is being written in the
expression of our faces day by day.
Love, purity. communion with God in
our inner selves, will give our faces
a look that shows the direction of our
desires and being. SeIfshness, I'll

have the spirit pursue a course that
writes a good record on the face.

Always save the water in which rice
macaroni or anything of a like nature
has been boiled. 1t is excellent fol
soups, GRAVES, etc.
TO KEEP OLIVES.
If you open bottle of olives and
only want to use half, CRATE some
horseradish and put a layer of it over
those left in the bottle This will pre-
vent them from getting mouldy.
A SEWING SUGGESTION.
| The best way to finish off a machine
seam is to turn the material round and
stitch back for about an inch. This
saves tying the ends of cotton, which is
fidgety work, and takes up a lot of
time if there are many seams.
To REMOVE STAINS ON CHINA.
Salt is excellent for this. Wash the
china first then rub with dry salt till
every trace of stain is removed, rinse
and wipe. Some people use potato par
ings or Bath brick dust in the same
way, but the latter sometimes Injuries
the surface of delicate china.
INKSTAINS ON CARPET.
The best way to remove inkstains
that have dried is to rub them with
milk till the stain fades away, changing
the milk as it becomes discolored; aft
erward rub with ammonia to remove
the grease. Fresh inkstains should be
sprinkled with salt, which absorbs the
ink, and so prevents the stain from
spreading. Brush it into dustpan as
soon as it is discolored and sprinkle
with fresh, removing that in the same
Way.
FOR A COUGH.
A paroxysm of coughing may often
be arrested by taking a teaspoonful of
glycerine in a little hot milk.
TO BEAT EGGS TO A FROTH.
If you rinse a plate with cold water
before breaking the eggs on it, add to
them a pinch of salt, and then stand
where there is current of air, you will
have no difficulty in beating them to
froth.
WORTH KNOWING.
If your dress is covered with pieces of
fluff or lint, dampen your clothes brush,
shake off all the water you can, and
then brush. The bits will come off
without any trouble, and the damn
brush will not injure the material in
the least.
TO FRESHEN STALE CAKE.
Dip it for a second in cold milk mr.
water, and then rebake in a rather cool
oven. Cake that has been treated in |
this way is very similar to when newly |
baked, and may be eaten by any one
without fear of indigestion. Stale bread
nay be treated in the same way.
TO FRESHEN FURS.
Fur often gets rubbed and crushed
and the best way to freshen it is to
brush it with clothes brush that has
been dipped in cold water and then
shaken as dry as possible Brush the
wrong way, then shake thoroughly and
