Dear aunt afadoc:

ELLSWORTH, Me, May II, 1905.
Dear aunt Madoe:
am sending you discourse on marriage
that think you will read with much pleasure
and ferventIy say amen to it, II was sug-
gested to me by the last writing of @. that ii
would be good idea to send this TO You and
ask that you use il in the column when you
are in want OF material, for the benefit OF the
Johns ms well as the sisters. Ii is all so good
that ii seems a pity to leave any out. SO
thought little at time would be interest
ing. You know what continued in our next
means to people who are interested in an ar
ticle, and surely this cannot fail TO be inter
esting to all lovers of pure literature.
ERNIE slime
am veay glad to give place in the col
umn to the essay which Erne Slime has
sent for us, and certainly there could be
no more seasonable time for 1t than June,
the month OF roses and weddings.
THE ART OF MARRIED IIFE-
The sacred art and mystery of living
together as husband and wife. 1t touches the
deepest springs of human happiness and sue
cess. When the novel reaches its last chapter,
when the wedding day crowns the happy
story of love and courtship, then begins for
man and woman the real test Of what they
are; then Is thrown upon their own hands
the question of what the future is to be.
In true marriage, the sweet season Of ro-
nance that precedes the bridal day is but the
harbinger Of better things to come. It is like
the grape blossom, filing the air with fra
GRANGE whose swift season heralds the grape
that shall through the long summer drink
the juices of the sun and be harvested in the
vintage for ministry Of giadness and life
But the ripening is easily missed. II IL
missed oftenest, probably, through the mans
fault.
The first and great lesson Of marriage ii
that the thought of another is TO come before
the thought Of Nelf. The revelation which true
love makes is this: One sees in another soul
such beauty and attractiyeness, that its ser
vice is preferred to the service OF self.
No emotion which lacks this high element
deserves to be called love. The desire Of
possession, the longing for intimate and
| habitual companionship--these come in, too
and make part But higher than these
there is that complete and joyful seif-sur-
render in which a woman appears so lovely tt
a man that to make her happy becomes his
strongest desire; and woman sees in a mar
such nobility that she can gladly devote hel

ST.. Y. furnishes us with directions for
the new process of cooking food without
continued fire, and If the NJ. BIZ make a
success of il, how the "Johns" will praise
and support and recommend the column,
for it will mean such lessening of ex-
pense in the bill for fuel, and will save so
much heat in the house, that it will GER
tainly be a wonderful help, especially in
the summer months.
Dear M. BIS;
did not intend coming again so soon. but
have struck something bran new, at least to
me, and think 1t will be to the column, as
do not remember ever having seen it.
We have wireless telegraphy, and now |
come with tireless cooking, something we
shall find very convenient in the weeks that
are before us, should we chance to have any
hot days. The idea is not original with me,
but came through neishbor from Boston.
Now for the way. Take anything you wish
to cook in a kettle that requires much cook
ing, and prepare it-putting 1t on the stove
until it gets to boiling in good shape. Then
have jar OF n dish large enough TO hold IL;
line il with newspapers, then put the dish in,
putting more papers on and around it; then
put something on top thick enough TO pre-
vent the heat escaping, and after several
hours it will be nicely cooked and the quality
is much better than II boiled so much.
II sounded rather unlikely when was told,
but took some OF last years beetE. thinking
them as good a test as anything. / put them
into iye-pound lard pail about O'Clock in
the morning, covering them with water, and
let them remain ON the stove for about half
an hour tall they got well to boiling. Then !
took stone jar, and lining with the papers,
put them in and covered them with folded
table cloth and placed the jar cover on that.
At noon they were nicely done sitting the
pantry shelf, and the quality far exceeded
those boiled so much. and such deep, rich
color.
Now try it, sisters, and report. II one
wished to use large iron kettle IL could be
put in the wash boiler; that is to say. II one
wasn't washing. unless she were fortunate
enough to have saved former one, as have.
A heavy rug would be good to cover a boiler.
Meats and soups cooked that way, il is said,
have q much better favor. l haven't tried
them yet, but mean to.
One word 70 Aunt Maria, and l win stop.
Am very sorry You have been i'll, but hope
you are surely gaining and win get that gar
den planted in due season, for We should miss
that exquisite bouquet you always bring to
the reunion. With love to all.

THE POINT OF THE PRovERB

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker 10 stick 10 his last. IL means
that a man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
Il means. stick TO your pillow; to the
blacksmith. stick 10 your forge; 10
the painter, stick 10 your brush.
When we make experiments out or our
line they are likely TO prove expen-
siye failures.
II Is amusing, however. 20 remark
how every one OF US secretly thinks
he could do some other fellows. work
better than the other fellow himself.
The painter imagines he can make
paint better than the paint manufac.
turer; the farmer thinks he can do
a Job OF painting better, or at least
cheaper than the painter. and so on.
A farm hand in one OF Octave
Thanets stories tells the Walking
Delegate OF the Painters Union, ANY
body can slather paint" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman.
''None OF your ready made mixtures
for me; reckon I ought TO know
how 70 mix paint"

painter is wrong: Shoemaker. stick

pensive amusement. II II strikes him
as pleasant 20 grow strawberries at
fifty cents apiece. or 20 produce eggs
that cost him Ave dollars a dozen, II

II he can afford IL. but it's not farm
ing. II the farmer likes 10 slosh
around with a paint brush and can af-
ford the time and the expense OF hay-
Ing practical painter do the job

harmless form OF amusement. IL the
painters customers can afford 20

the time II should, they have a perfect
right 10 indulge his harmless vanity
about his skill In paint making. But
in none OF these cases does the shoe
maker stick 10 his last.
There Is Just one class OF men In
the world that knows how 20 make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing Il right; and that is the
paint Va
the standard brands OF readyprepared
paints. The painter mires paints;
the paint manufacturer 0rfnds them
together. In a good ready-prepared
paint every particle OF one kind OF
pigment is forced 70 join hands with
a particle OF another kind and every
bit OF solid matter IS forced, as II
were, to open IT'S mouth and drink In
its share OF llnseed oil. That Is tho
only way good paint can be made. and
II the painter knew how 70 do Il he
has nothing az hand 10 do II with. a

The man who owns a building and
neglects to paint II as often as Il

short-sighted than the one who tries
60 do his own painting or allows the
painter TO mix his paint for him.

Whnt Money 10 Doing.


There are even In these days a good
many families in the United States
who find II possible TO do a certain
amount OF moderately high thinking
and still cultivate some OF the graces
OF life. They may be obliged 10 live
simply, says Scribner's. and yet may
not need 20 use up all their vitality
in manual labor. True, they must
walk when others ride. they must take
thought 70 their apparel. that It be
presentable at small cost. and when
they entertain their friends they must
do Il simply. But they have time 10
read books and they have money TO
educate their children. Oftener than
not they are persons whose family
traditions incline them TO fastldious-
ness in social matters. They and their
forehears have been accustomed not
only to well-bred, but interesting peo-
pie and have kept In touch with what
was going on in the world; In short
they have taste for the best society.
twenty-five years ago there was no
reason why they shouldn't maintain
their inherited or acquired right to u.
but the tendency on the part OF GER
tain OF their fellow citizens to what
has been characterized as "the habit
OF getting rich" has changed all that.
II Is not only that the accumulation
OF colossal fortunes restricts the finan'
cial chances OF the moderately ambi-
tious majority. but II deprives them
Of some innocent and legitimate COM
forts and pleasures 70 which they
think themselves reasonably entitled.
BY Increasing so tremendously the cost
OF living with the standard OF luxury
Is raised In proportion. This, TO be
sure, Is an old cry, but 10 the impe-
cunious majority II does not cease TO
be a live issue.
Yet one cannot find fault with the
people who have made money for
wanting 10 spend II; one cannot be
surprised II their ideas are crude and
II they fail to appreciate a refined sim
pllcity. Most OF us spend all the
money we can AFFORD and we should
not thank anyone who should presume
10 dictate TO us as to what we ought
20 buy with It, The very rich do not
IN tho least intend 10 make life hard
for the rest OF the world. In fact
from their kind.hearted desire to give
pleasure we get some singularly bad
results, such as, for instance. the poor
girl with rich tastes. who. although
she need not always be a Lily Bart,
yet Is always in an unnatural and de-
moralidng position; and the young
man who goes to the dogs In his effort
60 keep up the pace with his rich
mates.
