The remarkable durability Of wood
when used as conduits where water is
of strong pressure, as shown by the re-
port OF the clerk at the water commits
sion recently. is we'll illustrated by a
dispatch from San Francisco. The
Niagara Falls Power company has
made a bid for thre million feet Of
redwood timber 20 be delivered at Buff
falo. n. Y, next July. The offer has
been accepted and the deal win probab-
ly be closed within few days. The
redwood Is to be used instead OF steel
for great tunnel to be constructed
this summer. The reason given for the
preference for the California wood Is
that when water passes over It con-
tiuually there forms surface Of soapy
and pasty nature which is proof against
corroslon, whereas In the case of steel
the particles Of sand and natter can be
carried with great velocity from the
Niagara river and they cut into and
destroy the steel In an Incredibly short
sl,aca Of time.

GR1NNERs AND GROWERS.
The Two Glasses that Make Up This Old
World of Ours.

A young woman recently applying
for a position as domestic in a Wes-
tern family, after an exhaustive ex-
animation by her prospective mis-
tress as to qualifications, said: "Now,
ma'am, let me ask you one question
before I say I'll work for you. Are
you a grinner or a growler"
"Why, what do you mean?"
"Do you try to make the best of
things as they come or do you make
the worst of them?"
"Why, I try to make the best of
things, I believe. Inever gave much
thought to the matter before"
"Then I'll work for you. I never
could work for a growler, but I'd
work day and night, too, for a grin
ner. Growers are so plenty now
faint easy to find an out-and-out
grinner."
1t is a question every housewife
might well ask herself: cam I a
grinner or a growler? 2" It is a ques-
ton upon which depends the happi-
mes of every household. No other
department of life affords grander
opportunities for the exercise of op-
timism than the home. Presimism
is creeping into every corner of the
social fabric. It permeates business
and society and educational institu-
tions. whats the use?" is the cry.
Keep this mournful, nerve-destroy-
ing, soul-destroying wall out of the
home, which should be the brightest,
cheerist spot on earth.
Every time a growler is changed
to a grinner the world becomes a lit
tie brighter. "Grin and bear it" was
old advice, and it's good to-day.
Cheerfulness makes for long lives,
good digestions, worldly success. The
Housekeeper breaches the gospel of
cheerfulness. It intends to help its
readers to lead happy lives. Morbid,
di~scouraging, pessimistic articles
will have no place on its pages.
Cheerfulness is the most contagious
of all conditions. Let's catch it
ourselves, and then do all we can to
give it to others. Let all who are
grinners to continue and all who are
GROWERS turn grinners.-Robert W.

A MOST FATAL GIFT.

events. This would destroy hope. A
knowledge of the future would I'M
make happiness. There are, of course,
some things about the future we do

shows itself we know it will be fol-
lowed by serious complaints if not
checked. Often Liver and Kidney
