Helpful Deeds

A great many of us have the
thought and desire to do some large
things at some time in our lives for
the benefit of humanity, and are
waiting for the power and oppor-
tunity which too often never comes
our way. How very much better
it would be for ourselves and others
if we would only do the little, com
mon, everyday kindnesses which we
neglect, because we think them too
trivial to bother about, and would
take up time which we might spend
more pleasantly in seeking of
our own pleasure. What mistake!
1t is the little things that counts big
in the end. Scatter the sunshine in
little bits every day by bright smiles,
kind words and helpful deeds and

FORGOT HIS OWN NAME.
Stories That Are Told Of Absentrinded
Josiah Quincy.


The observation-disclosures of distin-
guished men, however much it may
be source of annoyance to them
selves, serves to furnish the public
with entertainment. Many venera-
BILE anecdotes still in circulation,
plain and with variations, are based
on this weakness of men of genius.
The oft told story of the man who
forgets his own name is one of them.
1t is told of many famous person
ages and doubtless of more than one
of them with truth. Josiah Quincy,
president of Harvard college, is one
of the number. Of him the accept
ed form is that he could not recall
who he was for the information of a
person who requested him to leave
his name for another on whom he
had called until still another person
passing by paused to speak and ad,
dressed him as president Quincy"
"The very name l was trying to
rememberw exclaimed the absent
minded president, with vast relief.
A little known and far more in
teresting, if less amusing, story Of
his forgetfulness was recently relat-
ed by one who in turn had had it
from his father, present as a boy
when the incident occurred. Mr..
Quincy on a notable occasion was
prepared to address a great meeting
in Faneuil hall. His speech fell nat
urally into two divisions. He deliv-
cred the first part and began the Sec
ond.
"At that time, gentlemen" he
said, and stopped. He paused, re-
peated, "At that time, gentlemen"
and stopped again. a third time he
repeated the phrase. But what
should have followed had gone COM
pletely from his mind and could not
be recalled, and he took his seat in
confusion and distress.
1t was more than an awkward
situation for the chairman of the
meeting, Harrison Gray Otis, and
for the great, silent audience-it
was a painful one. But Mr.. Otis,
rising and stepping forward, an
nounced quietly that if the eloquent
speaker required time to collect his
thoughts before proceeding there
was no doubt that all would willing
ly wait for him if it were till mid
night. "But should he proceed no
further" he added, "What he has
said has been so clear, so cogent and
SO convincing that he may rest as
sured he has already satisfied every
man present-except himself. y

Homemade White Soap.

Fresh Stacked lime, sal soda and
tallow, each two pounds. Dissolve
the soda in one gallon of boiling
soft water and mix in thejlime, stir
ring occasionally for a few hours
after which let it settle. Pour off
the clear liquor and boil the tallow
in it until dissolved. Cool in a fiat
box or pan and cut into bars or
cakes. You can perfume it before
it gets hard with sassafras, rose,
bergamot or lavender oil. When
making soap with any form of soda
lime must be added to make it caus-
tic, which removes the carbonic acid
and leaves the rest of the soda free
to act on the grease.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Disinfeetine the Home After Case Of
Contagious Disease.

In case a member of the family
has been suffering from some infec-
tious or contagious disease the first
step in house cleaning is the disin-
fecting of the apartment occupied
by the invalid, and now that grip
has been declared contagious many
thorough housewives quarantine suf-
ferers from this disease and disin-
feet the room. Any tubercular trou-
bic or serious throat Affections, such
as diphtheritic Sore throat, severe
tonsilitis, ETC., are worth this pre-
cautionary step.
The first step in disinfecting is to
burn a preparation of sulphur In
each room, with every door and win
dow tightly closed and the tiniest

OiIina the Floor.

For oiling the floors of houses
that have not good boards one small
can of cherry red paint mixed with
two quarts of boiled linseed oil and
applied with cloth will be found
excellent.
A simpler way for good floors is
to heat to the boiling point common
boiled linseed oil and while still hot
90 over the floor, using an old paint
brush and keeping the oil constant
" hot. Even should the floor be
rough and inclined to silver this
will be found a great improvement.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1905-04-07

that the room is perfectly air tight
The sulphur may be loose and laid
on redhot Goals in an iron kettle
set in the center of the floor, or it
can be bought in the form OF can
dies. When it has burned not less
than twelve hours the room is
thrown open to the air, and then,
twenty-four hours later, walls and
woodwork are washed with warm
water to which any high grade fluid
disinfectan, has been added.

Those subject to sore throat will
find the following preparation sim
pie, cheap and highly effcacious
when used in the early stage: Pour
a pint of boiling water on thirty
leaves of the common sage and let
the infusion stand for an hour. Add
vinegar sufficient to make it pleas
antly acid and honey to taste. The
mixture should be used as a gargle

if some of it is swallowed.

Use Low PercheS

Fowls often injure their breast
bones flying down from high perch
es and coming thump on the floor,
and growing chickens, if allowed to
perch while quite young often in
dent their breasts; for their bones
are vet soft. This is easily avoided
by not letting them perch more
than three feet, or four feet high,
and, in the case of the chickens, not
letting them perch a tall until three
months old.
