HOW to Make a Novel Flowerpot.

How to Make Novel Flowerpot.
Many people find it difficult to obtain
fowerpots large enough for large
palms in drawing room and hall, but
a pretty and useful pot may be con-
triyed easily if a large lard bucket,
perfectly cleaned, be enameled white
inside and out, the metal bands being
painted with liquid gold. Where the
handle. which is of course removed,
was inserted two brass knobs may be
put, and the pot will be useful and
decorative and most inexpensive.

add, half an hour before serving, a
tablespoonful Of butter. If the nuts

How to Heal a Burn.

Always cover up burn with cotton
wool flannel or a silk handkerchief SO
as to exclude the air. Cover the place

with sweet oil, If you have it, to a
thick paste. If you have not oil use
water If whiting is not at hand cover
the burn with -four from the dredger.
Baking soda dampened slightly is also
excellent.

That most men dig their graves with
their teeth has seldom been pointed out
more forcibly than is done In the Cen
entitled "How 10 Live Long" The
threescore and ten limit to human life
is pronounced n fallacy. Death from
old age, occurring at seventy-five or
eighty. Is n misnomer. Comparative
psychologists. we are told, have set the
natural years OF man at 100, even
sometimes NJ 100. and the reason why
the overwhelming majority fall short
OF normal life Is comprised In one sen
tence-we all eat too much. He. then,
who would live 10 be old, retaining
sight. hearing and some digestion. not
relinquishing the power OF healthy en-
joyment. has but 10 follow n simple
rule. Eat sparingly. Refrain from
clogging the system by an ovcrsupply
OF food. Never entirely satisfy the ap-
petite. and make II a habit occasionally

HEALTH RULES.

A clean and cheerful house makes n
happy home.
Rise early, retire early and illl your
day with work.
Frugality and sobriety form the best
elixir Of longevity.
Cleanliness prevents rust the best

Water and bread maintain life; pure
air and sunshine are Indispensable TO

Enough sleep repairs waste and

Checrfulness makes love OF life, and
love OF life is half OF health. On the
contrary, sadness and encouragement
hasten old age.
The mind Is refreshed and invigornt
