ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
A Little Thought Will Tighten Work
of the Household.

Women who complain SO much
about the terrible trials of house
keeping do not make use of their
brains. 4 little thought will save
steps, and a, rest now and then will
do wonders in dispelling that
wearied feeling. a high stool in the
kitchen is great convenience for
the woman prone to backache or
swollen feet. Ironing and dishwash-
ing, silver cleaning. etc., can be
done quite as expeditiously when
seated as standing, and the differ
ence in the ache is noteworthy.
a low rocker is also restful. when
one sits down to prepare vegetables
or fruit for the table, while one of
the combination chairs and steplad-
ders saves space and enables ore to
reach things son the top shelf"

Carriers.

There are certain strange super
stitions connected with carriers.
Some people consider that present
of an old garter is good omen. A
bride should always wear a blue silk
garter at her wedding. The wearing
of the garter does not end the ritual
concerning it. After the wedding
ceremony it must be either cut into
pieces or hidden. Yellow carriers
are generally considered to be lucky
omens to the wearers, while many
women have carriers the color of
their birthstone-green for en-
eralds, red for rubies, yellow fol
topaz, blue for sapphire and white
Cor diamonds.

French Potatoes.

For French potatoes cook Two
large, mild onions very slowly in
enough milk to cover them until
they are tender. Then press them
through a PURGE sieve. For a cup
and a half of PURGE there should be
two cupfuls of cold boiled potatoes,
sliced and seasoned with salt and
pepper. Stir these into the PURGE
and scald. Then add tIe beaten
yolks of two eggs blended with half
a pint of cream. Let the mixture
cook until it is near the boiling
point, stirring constantly. Serve
at once.

The Rag Carpet.

The porches of country house
are now quite as important as the
living rooms. They are built wider
in order to give plenty of space for
furnishing. Rag carpet rugs make
a serviceable covering there as well
as for the whole house. Sewing car
pet rags should be popular pas
time this summer. Now that rag
carpet is so fashionable even the
hest stores are dealing in it.

A Few Facts
With Figures.

Thinking that it might be of
interest to the voters of Hope
Special School District to know
what portion of our school tax
is paid by the residents of Hope
township outside of the village,
I have compiled a few figures
taken from the records at Sher-
brooke and will give them below,
so that all voters may know what
proportionate amount of school
tax is paid by Hope village and
Hope Twp. respectively.
From the records and assess
ment of 1908 we find that actual
resident voters of Hope village
pay taxes on eleven sections in

Wheat. Corn and Cotton.

Too much wet weather is creating rust" in the fields of the northwest where spring wheat is grown, and dollar wheat has become an actual fact Some protest that the price will go to $1.25 before the end of the sea son. Flour that sold one year ago at $4.S5 is today worth S5.65, and the tendency is towards higher prices.
 Tic winter wheat crop was cut down by excessively wet weather in the har- vest season. but it was hoped great yield of spring wheat would make good the deficiency. This hope will not be made good if the disease known as rust" becomes prevalent. It is caused by wet weather in the ripening season, and it spreads rapidly when promoted by alternate rains and hot suns. A month ago the total wheat crop was estimated at 650,0000 900 bushels; it is now put at 55O 100000, which would lei- but 50,000,000 bush els for export.
 Fortunately for us in the south we have well nigh made a large corn crop. The acreage may be somewhat less than that of last year, but the yield per acre is larger, and last years yield per acre was almost unprece- dented. We have, too, fine crop of cotton that will make good in exports any deficiency that 1ay arise in wheat shipments. A crop of twelve million bales will be readily consumed by the world, and two weeks of dry weather would enable Us to grow that amount True there would follow the difficulty of picking such crop, but that diff culty will be bravely faced if the price remain in the neighborhood of ten cents.

LEMON AS A HEALTHIER
Has Many Uses on the Toilet Table
 of My Lady.

From the National Magazine.
 Lemons used externally will aid in beautifying any one. There is nothing move valuable for the toilet table than a solution of lemon juice; little rubbed into the hands, face and neck at night will not only whiten but soften the skin. A paste made of magnesia and lemon juice applied to the face and hands upon lying down for a fifteen minutes rest will bleach the skin beautifully.
 For discolored or stained fingernails, teaspoonful of lemon juice in cup of warm soft water is invaluable; this is one of tn every best manicure aids. It will loosen the cuticle from the finger nails as well as remove discolorations. In the West Indies lemon bath IS al- most a daily luxury. Three or four lines or lemons are sliced into the water and allowed to lie for half an hour, in order that the juice may be extracted. A re- markable sense of freshness and clean Illness Is given to the skin
 Lemon juice In water Is an excellent dentifrice. This is about the only simple remedy for removing the tartar and IS also valuable for sweetening the breath. Lemon juice and a pinch of salt will re- move the most obstinate of stains Never throw away lemon or orange peel. for these alone will often take away stains without using water.

THE MoUTAIN HEART's.EAsE.

By Bret Harte. By scattered rocks and turbid water
 shifting
 By furrows glade and dell To feverish men thy calm, sweet face
 uplifting
 Thou stayest them to tell. The delicate thought that can not find
 expression,
 For ruder speech too fair, That, like the petals, trembles in possess
 sion,
 And scatters on the air. The miner pauses in his rugged labor, And, leaning on his spade. Laughingly calls upon his comrade- To see thy arms displayed. But in his eyes a mist unwonted rises, And for a moment clear Some sweet home face his foolish thought
 surprises
 And passes in a tear Some boyish vision of his Eastern village, Of uneventful toll, Where golden harvests followed quiet tili-
 age,
 Above the peaceful soil. One moment only: for the pick, uplifting Through rott and fiber cleaves And on the muddy current slowly drifting Are swept by bruised leaves. And yet, 0 poet, in thy homely fashion. Thy work thou dost fulfill. For on the turbid current of his passion Thy face is shining stu!
