speech is silver, and silence. (said
to be) golden" Let us keep silence
then until we have weighed Our words
and found them adequate, appropriate,

Quick, sharp utterances coming from
impotence or wrath provoke still fur

mands or warnings repeated from
force of habit, without due reference
to offenses, or without intention to en-
force them, become worse than value
less. Profanity, while in many cases
extremely "aisin' to the feelin's,'' as
the sailor expresses it, as habit be-
comes ineffective and it's very sense
lessness weakens the moral nature.
Even profanity, though vulgar, foolish
and, therefore, wicked, may do less
harm to the listeners than careless and
extravagant use of language, applied,
like burning torch, to raw wound,
scorches natures sensitive, upright and
innocent Words, sarcastic, spiteful,
or unkind, convey venom, faint and
infinitely corrupt innocent moral ma

Mrs. Alden is securing a fund of

Rest home, which sunshine guest can

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.
Golden Words.

UO1ucn w OTuSs
Trust me, the worth of words is such
They guard all noble things
And that this rash irreverent touch
Has Jared some golden strings.
"Some words are played on golden
80 strings
Which I so highly rate
/ cannot bear for meaner things
Their sound to desecrate.
For what the lips have lightly said
The heart will lightly hold,
And things on which we daily tread
Are lightly bought and sold.
Poet-I keep it as crown Of praise
To crown the kings of time.
Let the hearts slow rare decree,
That word in reverence keep;
Silence herself should only be
More sacred and more deep.
Forever
1t should be said in awe and fear
By true heart and strong will,
And burn more brightly year by year,
A starry witness still
Honor
That word should meet a noble foe,
Upon a noble field,
And echo-1ike deadly blow
Turned by silver shield

The Costumes Of Spite.


Kindness involves denial. Sympathy
carries sacrifice. Affection or aid OF
any sort is costly. But, as DR.. John
son said, spite and Immature are
among the most expensive luxuries
Of life
It costs as enormously to be rude,
ill-natured and mean It costs much
to give way to unrestrained anger, to
harbor spite and bad feeling.
What we give we get back in kind.
Is it not better to have the good will
and respect of others than their hatred
and contempt?
"Getting even'' is foolish business.
You can much better afford to remain
uneven with one who has wronged you
than to lower yourself to this level of
meanness.
Hate hurts the hater more than the
one hated. Revenge is a poor invest
ment. Look at it nationally from any
standpoint and you must see that it
never pays. You are obtuse indeed
if you have not learned from expert
ence that one little drop Of kindness
holds more of the real nectar of life
than a whole ocean Of spite.
You may search the whole world Of
philosophy through and find no greater
truth than this that pride, envy, malice:
hatred, revenge, and all other evil
passions flesh is heir to, work their
first and worst injury to their posses
sors; they corrode, render wretched
and destroy first the heart ir which
they originate.
The one you hate and plot against
may not know or care If he gives a
thought to you it may be only to
despise you. Is it worth while to steep
your soul in poison for no better re-
suits than this? We must expend
much of our life forces upon Others
Is it not better to expend them in
kindness that uplifts than in spite that
debases?
Is it wise to sku1k g1oomi1y in the
boys of spite when only a step will
take you out into the genial sunshine
of kindness? Is it sensible to dwarf
yourself in efforts to make someone
recognize that you are his enemy, and
can hurt him when you can ennob1e
yourself by the far less effort neces-
sary to make him see that you are
his friend and can help him? Spite is
to life what darkness is. Kindness is
the Observation-Disclosures News.

LAUGH IT OFF.

When you're suffering reversion,
Till it seems naught but diversion
Is the only thing you need to keep
your weary mind intact,
Try little healthy laughter,
Good old fashioned, jolly laughter,
And you'll find it splendid incidence
tonic, for a fact.
When you can't make any Roadway,
And each day seems like dead day,
And the thorns begin to poster till
your nerves are shattered, racked.
Stop a bit, get busy quaffing
From the bottle labeled Laughing"
Get your fill and then start over-it's a
tonic, for a fact.
Are you grumpy? Are you faded?
Do you feel all worn and jaded
Every time fresh work doth claim you.
Have you lost the thing called
tact?
Try a cup of sunny chatting,
Sweetened up with merry laughing
It's the best thing on the market for
tonic for a fact.

Natures prescription for good health
is most simple: Fresh air and good
food with plenty of exercise properly
to assimilate it, correct methods OF
breathing, and the strong development
of heart and lungs is always sure to
follow.
1t is good plan to have a regular
hour each day for exercise and never
to skip it. Before breakfast in the
morning is perhaps the best for this,
but just before going to bed is also a
good time, provided it does not keep
one up too late. Half an Hour each,
morning and night is even better than
an hour at either end of the day. In

was to be expected that the dominance
of that period in all our frocks would
bring about the triple ripple over the

But for some reason the designers
and public didn't seem to go in for
them as quickly as they did for the
other Directolre fashions. such as the
small sleeve, the short waist and the
extreme lengthening of the lines from
