PAYING BA X.

A New Jersey priest says: "No
Catholic can make a valid confess
sion who culpably refuses to pay
his loans and debts. If he cannot
pay at once he must pledge himself
to save up and pay as soon as pos
sible. This means that only on
these conditions can the sinner be
f,Igiven by God. That person is
unworthy of absolution who
neglects to keep his pledge to pay;
who refuses to pay any because he
can not pay all; who decides to
leave the burden of restitution to
his heirs. 1t is better not to go
to confession at all than to go with
III worthy dispositions. God is not
Knocked. Our pledges to the priest
are made to him as Christ's ambas-
sador in the confessional and are
binding as if made to Christ Him
self"

WONDERS ABOUT SKIN FOREs.

Each square inch of the human
skin contains no less than $500
sweating tubes, or perspiration
pores Each of these tubes, al
though wonderfully minute, is
about One-fourth of an inch in
length. Each of these sweat tubes
may be- likened to a tiny draintile.
We find that the average adult has
about 1900 square inches of skin
Oh the surface of his body. Each
square inch of this outer euticle
is. as we have said, literally per-
meated with its $500 quarter inch
perspiration bitches. If we could
put each Of these little tubes end
to end we would find that they
would extend distance of not less
than POI, 166 feet. Had you ever
before stopped to consider the fact
that the aggregate length of the
tile bitches for draining the human
body is almost forty miles.

AN HOUR WITH MOTHER.

Gone of the happiest memories
CT my little girlhood," said a ma
tGre woman, sis of that hour be-
tween the dusk and the daylight,
when the night was beginning to
lower, when we all sat around my
mother in the sitting room waiting
fer lamplight time, and telling
stories. Sometimes mother told
them to us; often we children took
tlnns and told them to each other.
Sometimes we had contests in MAX
ing original cOnundrums and little
verses. This was lots of fun. But
the incest hours were when mother
told us tales of her girlhood.
Eve looked forward to that
dusky hour before our supper when
school was over and lessons, too, for
ia those days we knew our Lessons
without having to spend half the
night over them. All, then a
mother could get close to her chill
dren! Neither schools, nor social
duties nor fashionable dinners
came between them. l think the
youngsters of this generation who
have no children's hour with moth
or are to be vastly pitied."

WHAT A WOMAN LIKES.

A woman likes to be truly loved,
and to be told so.
She likes some noble, honorable
nan to be thoughtful of her, kind
and considerate of her welfare.
When well and becomingly dress
ed, quiet notice of it is always APP
preciated.
A word of praise for a nice din
ner or supper often more than COM
pensates her for her worry and
work of preparation.
She wants her husband not to be
her supporter, but her companion,
remembering that it is the kind
word that often brings far greater
happiness than new set of dishes,
though presents like the latter are
always welcome.
She likes to be made to realize
that she is good for something be-
SIDES a mere household drudge.
She likes to be petted occasion
ally, but not in public. The little
private pet names are very dear to
a woman's heart.

he GOT HIS.

A member of the House of Com
mons, who is devoted to garden
ing, had to dismiss his head gar
denner on account oh the mans
habit Of taking fruit and vegetables
and selling them for his own use.
As the man had a wife and a large
family he approached his employer
The day before he left with the view
Of getting a character and testi-
nonial in order to apply for an
ether place. He got the testimonial
Which read thus: II hereby certify
that my late head GARDENER got
more out of my garden during the
time he was with me than any man
ever EMPLOYED"

TOMORROW.

LongfellOw tells us that we are so
to act chat each tomorrow finds us
farther than today" At first
thought this seems like asking
more than we can accomplish. But
If we do our best with every task,
if each lesson learned is as nearly
perfect as we can make it, if we
strive to make all our thoughts and
words kind and true, then surely
tomorrow has a good chance of be-
ing an ever better day.
Every day that does not find us
stronger than the last one, finds
Us weaker. 1t is well for us to re-
member this. Every good day, on
the contrary, holds a promise for
another better one. Let us be care
ful not to lose any day out of those
that are given us in which to
journey onward.

After cutting onions hold the
knife and your fingers under run

remove the onion juice, which hot

Piano keys can be cleaned. as
can any old ivory, by being rubbed

When washing a white silk
blouse add little methylated spir-

will add brightness to the silk and
will make it more easy to iron

THE SELFISH GIRL.

mother to her young daughter.
Mabel read on without seeming
60 hear. Presently her mother
called her again.

The time went on, and presently
the mother called a third time.
"Please let me finish this chap
ter" called Mabel.
The mother did not answer, but
tired as she was, she did the work
alone. Not being called again
Mabel decided that her mother
did not want her and bent over
her book with renewed interest. She
kept her room all morning, and did
not think of her mother and the
work down stairs. Mabel did not
mean to be entirely selfish. She
did not understand how much her
mother needed her help. She
thought only of her own pleasure,
and was inclined to be cross and
fretful if interfered with.
There are hundreds of such girls.
They do not mean do be wholly
selfish; no doubt they think they
love their mothers, but they love
their own way alsoa

OPENING A BLISTER.

For opening a blister or a pimple
if a pin has been thoroughly ster-
ilized, it cannot poison the flesh.
One should hold it by a pair of
scissors or forceps in a flame un-
til it has been made red hot. Then
it should be plunged into clean
water and be at once wiped with
clean rag. Heat kills all germs.
Fire purifies absolutely.
