they become slaves or the broom and
dusipan. Neatness is one thing and
state OF perpetual housecleaning
quite another.
Out OF this grows by degrees the
FEELING that certain things and apart
ments are too good for daily use.
Hence chairs and sofas are covered
and rooms shut up. save for special
occasions. when they are permitted to
reveal their violated sacredness in
manner that mars every pretense OF
hospitality. Nothing should be bought
which Is considered too fine for the
fullest domestic appropriation. Far
better is the piainest furniture on
which the children can climb than
satin and damask, which must be
viewed with reverence. When any.
thing is reserved or secluded, to dis
guise the fact is extremely dificult
A chilly air wraps II round, and the
repulsion Of strangeness Is experienced
by the most insensibie.
Home is not a name, nor a form, nor
routine. 1t is spirit. a presence, q
principle. Material and method will
not and cannot make it. 1t must get
its light and sweetness from those who
inhabit II. from flowers and sunshine.
from the sympathetic natures which,
In their exercise Of sympathy, can lay
aside the tyranny OF the broom and
the awful duty Of endless scrubbing.-

Life.

The poets exclamation: 80 Life, 1
feel thee bounding in my veins" is a
joyous one. Persons that can rarely
or never make it, in honesty to them
selves, are among the most unfortu-
nate. They do not live, but exist; for
to live implies more than to be. To
live is to be we'll and strong-to arise
feeling equal to the ordinary duties OF
the day, and to retire not overcome by
them-to feel life bounding in he
veins. A medicine that has made thou
sands of people, men and women, well
and strong, has accomplished a great
work, bestowing the richest blessings
and that medicine is Hoods Sarsa.

MAINE FRATERNITIES,

A lodge of the Junior Order of Ameri-
can Mechanics has been organized at
Seal Harbor.
. Island Lodge, I. o. o. F., has had
quite remarkable record in the mat
ter of longevity. 1t has been in
stituted for Is years and in that time
has had a membership of some 300 and
has lost but IS members by reason of
death, a record that it would be hard to
equal.
1t is probable that Kora Temple,
mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, will hold ii
session in Bangor, June IS. 1t will
undoubtedly be the largest Masonic
gathering held in Bangor for years.
