WISDOM OF PRIVATE LIFE.

Thos. jefferson, the Sage Of
Monticello" is know the world
over for his political wisdom, but,
as the philosopher of private life,
his reputation is not so widely sx-
tended. From an exchange We
learn that he had for the guidance
of his own daily life the following
set of rules, the wisdom of which
will be evident at reading:
Never put off until tomorrow
what you can do today.
Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself.
Never spend your money before
you have earned it.
Never buy what you don't want
because it Is cheap.
Pride costs more than hunger,
thirst or cold.
We seldom repent having eaten
too little.
Nothing is troublesome that We
do willingly.
How much pain evils have cost
us that have never happened.
Take things always by t h q
smooth handle
When angry count ten before
you speak; if very angry count g
hundred.

4 MIDSUMMER, COOKERY.

The Dslineator for July offers q
number OF features of interest to
the culinary department Of the
household, Miles Bradford's en-
tertaining paper in the "Carlotta
and l." series. An Emergency
Luncheon" includes some admira-
BILE suggestions for the utilizing
Of leftovers. A feature Of especial
tiEsliness is the two pages por-
traying hot weather beverages,
daintily arranged on trays for SCI
wing and with the recipe for the
same. Fruit salad is lthe subject
of a paper; tempting ways OF ser.
wing tomatoes are given in another
and the preparation OF tossts both
plain aud sweet are also fully ex.
planned.

"I3" AND THE WHITE HOUSE.

To those who are influenced by
the old superstition of sitting
down to table Ii in number, an
invitation from the President to
dine at the White House off of
the new state service OF china,
manufactured by the famous firm
of Wedgewood, may we'll be look
ed at asksnce. Whether intentio-
nally or by accident the mystic
number is curiously repeated in
the crest and even in the transac-
tion by which the service was or
dered. Any one who visits the st
Louis Exposition may observe the
former, as the service is to be pla.
ced there on view. To begin with
there are, of course, thirteen stars
and thirteen bars on the shield,
representing the original thirteen
States of the Union. In one claw
the eagle grasps thirteen bolts,
and in the other an olive branch
upon which there are thirteen
leaves and thirteen berries. The
pinions of the eagles, too, have
thirteen feathers. and it will be
found that there are thirteen let
tiers in the motto, "E Pluribus
Unum." Further, there are thir-
teen letters inthe christian names
of the President and his wife
Theodore and Annie-and thir-
teen letters also in Staffordsbire,
the county in England in which
the Wedgswood ware is man ufac-
tured; but perhaps the most sig
ni6cent fact OF all in this respect
is that the service was delivered
on Friday, the 18th of February
of this year.
Under these circumstances it

POINTED QUESTIONS
Asked BY o Minister and Answers
Suggested.

In a letter to the ministers of
neighboring CITY suggesting thou
lights for sermons, Elder II M.
Brooks, of Paris, couples these
questions with his own sngges-
tions:
Have you any sisters in your
congregation too feeble to climb
the church steps on Sunday who
on any night In the week can climb
,, two or three flights of stairs and
dance their toe nails Off Give
them a little attention.
Do the sisters make a business
of playing progressive Finch for
prizesY If so, be honest with
them. Tell them that it is no
worse t. gamble in saloon than
il is in q parloE '--a .-
Havs you any older brother who
can't keep awake 80 minutes in a
church while on the other hand il
you should put him in a room
whore he oonld hear his notes and
mortgages drawing interest you
would have to ohloroform him to
get him to sleep. II so, give him
a little hell.
Do any of your members pray
for the poor on Sunday and prey
off them all the rest OF the week.
Be careful, my brethren, do you
know the attitude of Jesus Christ
to the peopleY l.
When You start committee out
to ascertain the cause Of 30 much
prostitution. drunkenness an d
gambling, they go to the fallen
girl who has no one TO protect her,
but they never go to the woman
who marries for money or oonven.
ience, who has a lover to visit her
while her husband 10 down town
or in the counting rooms. They
go to the man who has his beer
sent to his home by the case. And
when you get on the warpath on
the gambling question you go to
the fellow who has the slot ma
chimes but you say nothing to
the church member who CANDLES
