mark about the great value in coal
tar and it's being handy to have
around.
Somehow we did not use the coal
tar as fast as we expected to- but it
seemed necessary to move the barrel
about four, times a year.
Every time | touched the barrel it
required lard and soap to restore my
hands, but my memory did net last
from occasion to occasion, and | con-
tinued to use lard and soap several
times a year for several years.
Then the thought came that it
might be all right to pass the barrel
along to a farmer who had more OPP
portunities to use it than to move l..
He came for it with smile and a
wheelbarrOw and it went across the
street to my relief and saving of
lard and soap.
The farmer spoke we'll of the barrel
several times after getting it and this
helped me to forgive the captain for
his liberality.
We might inventory our posses
sions once or twice a year and pass
along to the right people any tar bar
rel articles we find in the way of oul
peace of mind.

Our desire is going
in the wrong direction
when we wish others
trouble.

The ancients may have meant de-
sire when they talked about heart.
Is not desire the heart of person?
Desire governs our thoughts and acts
so far as we have freedom.
Why it is an error to wish others
misfortune or to glory in their having
trouble?
We see others doing it and it is
common temptation, but it is an error
because it helps to sustain discOrd on
earth and war among men.
In every nation there is a peace ele-
ment and a war element. You and
are on one side or the other in our
little every day life.
In nearly every organization or as
ISOLATION and in MANY homes the two
elements may be found, one for better
methods and one for the products of
ignorance.
The best victories are not those
which cause trouble for the enemy,
but which rather cause the enemy to
respect you and confess his previous
error.
A desire for the right kind of vic.
tory gives patience, wisdom and OPP
portunity. For success it must be a
genuine desire for peace on earth and
good will among men.

Little Chance in White Goods.

In plain white goods there is little
change from last year, aside from the
fact that thin airy things will have
the place of honor. Plain and en-
broidered linens from very sheer to
very coarse weaves win be used for
gowns and shirt-waist suits. There
are several varieties of cotton eta
mines and mercerized materials Of

ton one may buy dimities, French

Wondering how many "e's" there

dictionary in tall wire holder with a

to swing the volume around, open and

A New Ornament.

The piquet is the name given to the
spruce little bunch of flowers or small
fruit which is somewhat stif1y tied
up, to stand sentinel on the little
spring walking hats. The piauet is
usually placed to the left of front;
but as there are left-handed and right
handed people, so there are women or
girls to whom hat trimmings are most
becoming when poised at the right
side than on the left. In such a case
the piquet of ladys slippers, stocks
or foxgloves may be mentioned to
the right of the front, besides the
crown. The piquet stands erect and
is supposed to be something CT an al
grette or pompon made of flowers,
instead of feathers.

With all the luXuries and pleasures
of this life, its big enjoyments and us
smaller comforts, there is an onset or
antithesis which we have to contend
with in the form of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means
every one has a touch of them in
some form at some time. Trl1lng as
some of them may be, the FISK IS
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
slant torture There is nothing, there
fore, of this kind that we have
right to trife with. Taken in time,
the worst forms of pass and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use of st. Jacobs Oil. No well

It is simple matter to whiten
piano keys by washing them with a
strong solution of nitric acid to ar
ounce of soft water. Use piece of
soft cheesecloth to wash the keys,
being careful that the solution does
not come in contact with the wood.
Whiting or prepared chalk mixed
with lemon juice is an excellent polish
to apply while the keys are moist.
