THE FACES THAT SMILE.

Brother, you are gazing backward toward the
scenes of your mistakes;
You are weeping DER your errors till your proud
heart almost breaks.
You're repenting and regretting, you are sigh
ing, 20 alas !''
And you're missing all the glories of the present
as they pass
Leave the grim and gruesome picture-look the
other way awhile,
For the face that's toward the future is the face
that wears smile.
You are lost in contemplation of the blunders
you have made;
You are signing DER the countless times your
soul has been dismayed.
But the futures sun is shining on the futures
verdant trees
And the futures birds are singing-you are miss
ing all of these.
Cease that useless gazing backward, look the
other way awhile
For the faces toward the future are the only
ones that smile.
lamp of hope
Throws your shadow o'er your landscape and
with blinded eyes you grope
For the blessings that had vanished with the
times they strove to bless;
Face about and you'll discover all your groping's
fruitlessness.
You'll be dazzled by the glory of the prospect
for awhile,
But with face turned to the future you will
learn to wear q smile.

NO LONG LETTERS NOW.

The women of the last generation
possessed one accomplishment which
they of the present lack-namely, the
art of letter writing.
The modern woman excuses her
self from it by the idea of mo time" I"
1t must also be admitted that great
many women who do not handle pens
very frequently shrink from the wri-
ting of letter as from an arduous
task. On the other hand, women
who write a great deal think they
have perfect right to shirk the ex-
ercise of their pens when it is merely
a social duty. None of these excuses
ought to be entertained.
One of the greatest enemies to the
proper observance of etiquette in let
ter writing is the postal card. 1t pre-
sents temptation which few can re-
sist. 1t is such a convenient method
of communication that before we
know it the message is scribbled and
dispatched. We would rather abbre-
viate phrases, and require our friends
to puzzle over sort of cipher, then
we would indite a formal note and
seal it in an envelope away from the
public gaze.
Tie postal card habit ought never
to be acquired, even if safety de-
mands that we abjure the use of the
cards altogether. Here is one in
stance of its abuse
Not so very long ago a certain
club passed resolution of coincidence
upon the illness of one of its MEM
bers. The secretary, considering, no
doubt, that the whole affair was in
the family" so to speak, scribbled
the message on postal card, and sent
it off with lightness of heart.
Well, the invalid was not so CRATE
full as she should have been, that's
all. The club, needless to say, was
badly misrepresented by the action of
its secretary in selecting such an ill
bred and uncomplimentary method of
doing what was intended to be a
graceful act.
Hurried and undecipherable wri-
ting is another offense against good
taste.
Remember also that very little
pleasure can be derived by the recip-
lent from letter which contains the
familiar burden-"Please excuse wri-
ting +; am so dreadfully rushed"

FATE OF THE SHINY SAILOR.

They filled three seats in the car.
Papa and the littlest boy and the
littlest boys big, shiny sailor hat fill
ed one. Another boy and another
sailor hat and some bundles filled an
other. The third boy and the third
sailor hat and some more bundles had
the third seat.
Other people-people who stood up
looked wrathfully at the many bun
dies and the big hats and the little
boys, and yearned to throw part of the
combination out of the window.
Pretty soon, when one of the sailor
hats journeyed up to the ice cooler, a
man promptly dropped into the va
cant seat.
BY and by Big Hat came back.
"Papa, papa" he whined, some
mans got my seat.'
"Never mind, son." said Papa,
consolingly, you'll soon get an
other"
Still the bundles filled the seats,
and still the people stood.
But retribution came-as it always
does when you take more than your
share.

the 1ittlest boy, "there goes my hat

miles in the rear.

MONEY MADE AT HOME.

Ionce heard a girl complaining thai
her country life precluded any posi-
Dillty of making money, so l told hel
about another country girl who made
comfortable living and helped to q
great extent in her younger sisters
and brothers education, writes Mrs.
s. Carpenter, in AmeyIoan queen.
This enterprising young woman lived
IN pretty house which in summer
was covered with trailing vines. She
noticed that the boxes of flowers re-
celved by her city cousins and friends
did not contain any greenery, ferns or
large leaves, so she set to work on
her new idea. Through her city
friends she obtained the addresses of
some leading florists and few weeks
later found her supplying three of
them regularly with Virginia creep
ers, berry leaves and wandering jew.
of course her little business did not
bring her in a fortune by any means,
but She was patient and in very
short time devised a way of increasing
her income. The florists whom she
supplied were very glad to recon-
mend hei to some of their rich pa
irons. To these she wrote asking
them to permit her to demonstrate
her ability and artistic talent for dec
Grating the table. Two of them
readily consented and that was the
second step to most successful end.
They were SO much pleased that be-
fore she could realize her good for
tune she found herself very much in
demand. To her greenery enterprise
she added the violet culture and she
is now clearing 5000 a year, plus per-
feet health, which has been the result
of her out-of-door work.
1t does not follow, of course, that
every country girl lives in vine-cov
cred houses or has tastes or talents in
the flower direction, but there are
other fields, if not so remunerative as
violet culture. One young woman
raised mushrooms, another gathered
nuts, and still another made delicious
jams and preserves for which she was
fortunate to get some private orders.
The daughter of country doctor was
a clever horsewoman. At the death
of her father she was ambitious to
take his place as far as possible to the
support of her family. So she very
promptly wrote to one or two promi-
nent horse dealers, offering her ser
vices at very reasonable salary.
They were accepted and she betook
herself to the great city. Her work
was to exercise the ladies' horses dai-
ly by jumping them, riding to hounds,
etc. She earned a living for herself
and was able TO save something, and
occasionally when she was fortunate
enough to sell a horse for her en-
ployer the size of her pocketbook in
creased in proportion to the liberal
percentage she received.
until you begin to think about it; I
mean to think in an intelligent way
by putting your minds in positive at
titude. Negative minds and thoughts
repel positive ones attract the ele-
ments scattered about in the atmos-
phere which only need to be taken in
and utilized. Try it for yourselves
and see the result.

THE OLD CRAB APPLE TREE.

Little old crab apple tree
Down beside the stream that goes
Winding onward laZily,
Never caring where it flows.
Are you standing there today
AS you did long, long ago,
Waiting fragrance far away
When your sweet pink blossoms blowp
Do the cows, sedate, sad-eyed,
Come to rub against you there,
Polishing your gnarly side,
Leaving little tufts of hair?
Does the blackbird, with his wings
Crimson-splashed, still come and go,
AS If charmed with earthly things,
When your sweet pink blossoms blowp
Little old crab apple tree,
am going back some day
am going back to dream
Glad old dreams of long ago,
Where the COWS wade in the stream
And your sweet pink blossoms blow.

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP

The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere;
Like troubled spirits here and there
The freight shadows fiuttering go,
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from farther room
Comes "Now lay me down to Sleep"
And somehow, with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thought goes back to distant years
And fingers with dear one there;
And as hear the child's amen,
My mothers faith comes back to me,
Couched at her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh ! for an hour in that dear placel
Oh for the peace of that dear time!
Oh for that childish trust sublime!
Oh ! for glimpse of mothers faceI
Yet as the shadows round me creep,
/ do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic of that treble tone
And Now lay me down to Sleep"

AN ELECTRIC EYE-OPENER

There is in Mobile a gentleman
who in the past has been in the habit
Of oversleeping in the morning hours,
and as his business requires that he
come down street early, it is essential
that he should awaken at a certain
hour. Time after time he came late
to his business, il spite of alarm
clocks and other appliances to get his
eyes opened at the proper time. One
morning recently he entered the Office
on time to the minute. The others
in the Office expressed great surprise
at this unusual event, and asked the
whyfore of it, reports the Mobile
Register.
"I determined that this business of
sleeping when I should be awake had
to stop, so 1 called in an electrician
and he fixed me up a few things. 1
have it so arranged that at the hour
set light flashes in my eyes. If
this is not successful, and l do not
get up and throw the switch, a mos
quito bar and the frame falls on me.
If l still slumber and sleep a gong
like the one used on the patrol wagon
goes off. Should I fail to notice
these things, there is over my head a
bucket filled with water, having a
small nozzle attached, and a racket
releases a stop, so that a stream of
water is squirted into my face. When
sleep through all these it will be
time 10 order my coffin"

USEFULNESS OF LAMP CHIMNEYs.

A chimney taken from a lighted
lamp is one of the best and most
quickly prepared 'hot applications. "
Simply slip the chimney into an old
stocking, and apply to the pain. If
steam is needed, take a damp warm
cloth, and wrap around the chimney.
If the heat is for a cough or the Group,
wrap in flannel rag smeared with
mutton tallow and turpentine. Ap-
piled to the chest or throat, relief
will be had almost at once. If your
feet are cold at night, place hot
chimney to them and they will soon
be warm. A lamp chimney is espe-
cially practicable during summer
months, when the fires are out, for
you can light the lamp and thus have
hot applications in few minutes.
Group, collie, toothache, earache,
coughs, rheumatic pains and many
other ills flee before the hot lamp
chimney in this household.
To press short seams without using
an iron, light small kerosene lamp,
regulating the blaze to keep the Chin
ney moderately hot, then dampen the
seam to be pressed. Pass the seam
quickly over the spherical part of the
chimney, and it will be pressed as
nicely as could be done with a hot
iron. Velvet ribbon, also, may be
pressed in this way by dampening it
on the linen or satin side, then rub
bing on the chimney. = Woman

BANKRUPT FOR A MOTHERS LOVE.

The person to whom you owe more
than you ever pay, or even imagine,
is your mother. She endured more
for you, served you more patiently,
loved you more fondly, thought OF
you more bravely than any other per-
son you have known on earth, or will
ever know, save your wife or hus-
band, if, indeed, they can always be
excepted. If your mother be spared
to you, then are you bound to make
her first charge on your life, as you
desire a peaceful conscience and as
you shall answer before the judgment
seat of God. She must be enconl-
passed with every observance of COM
fort and honor and gentleness and
love; with sacrifices, also, if so be it
will please her, of tastes and occupa-
tions and time, and even friendship.
And after you have done all that you
can think of and anyone can suggest
you will still remain bankrupt for
the love wherewith she loved you.
