THE SENSE OF DISTANCE.
A Pleasure t'r. Glimmerton Finds
When He Takes His Vacation.

Zone of the things that l go on
my vacation for, one of the chief
things" said Mr.. Glimmerton. us dis
tance; the refreshing. reviving, ex-
panding power of distance. The
change to new scenes. as any change
whatever is always sure to be, is
helpful; but the broadening, upllft-
ing, clarifying effect, the effect in
which we find the greatest enjoyment
and by which we store up the greatest
renewal Of strength for the future,
we get through our sense of distance.
We are so shut up in the city, our
range of vision is so limited; live
where we will or go where we will
here and our sight stops short at
walls. Then when we go away and
leave the city behind us. ss we get
out into the open country, where we
can see past houses, how grateful
does the distance seem!
But get this sense best at quiet
place where ] go in the mountains,
where can sit and look down a long,
broad lake with mountains rolling
away on either hand and beyond.
The change, know, from the city is
great and delightful; but the thing
that gets me here, and releases me,
is the distance.
Daily, hourly, I come back to this
view, to expel what lingering traces
may be left in me of the contraction
of the city and to expand anew in this
great spaciousness through the sense
OF distance. Space has no care nor
confinement, but only freedom. And
what Joy and relief to be where one
can cast off all chains and be free!
> ANY change is good for us; but
the greatest Joy in change that comes
to me is through the sense OF dis
tance. New York Sun.

Sand Soap.

Half bar OF coarse sand soap

Rub the half bar right on the bot
tom, both inside and outside, of all

brush, kept up little higher than the
wire soap dish for the sand soap, and
fashioned differently than the regu-

One OF the secrets Of such life Is

matters, found himself broke" and
through Interpreter Elliston sought
Judge Witten, in charge of the Trip

When the Judge presented a s5

Bears picture on it. Judge Witten
kept the bill and gave the chief specie
and said he thought 1t advisable to
retain the bill which contained the
picture of the only living man who
ever got himself photographed in
that manner.

habit of thanksgiving had been so
wrought into his life that nothing
could ever break 1t.
Just how to learn this habit of
thanksgiving is the question. One
thing is to learn to trust. The cause
of all complaining and discomfort is
want of trust in God. IL we believe
In God as our Father, that He loves
US and will care for us. and put at
once into His hands all matters that
would disturb or fret us, God Him
self will keep us in perfect peace,
Worry is death to the thanksgiving
spirit, while nothing so drives worry
from the heart as a thanksgiving
song.
Another thing that helps in form
Ing this habit of thanksgiving is to
make sure of seeing the good and
beautiful things In life. This is a
lovely world. It could not be other
wise, for 1t is our Fathers world. He
made 1t beautiful because It was to
be the home OF His children. Yet
some see nothing OF the lovelincss
which lies about them continually
everywhere. They are like men tour

Tnvalid's Tray Table.

1t is often impossible for a sick
person to sit up in bed to eat from
the tray, and when this is the case,
1t often is hard to put the tray in q
handy and yet comfortable position
for the invalid and In many cases the
person is so weak 1t tires them to
support the tray on the lap. A table
for an invalid tray car be easily and
quickly made by anyone. Select a
small folding table, such as is used
for sewing, and stand it beside the
bed and saw off the legs on one end
even with the bedspread. Move the
table across the bed until the uncut
legs stand close to the bed and the
shortened legs rest on the bed and
make the table firm. In this way the
table is in the most convenient posi-.
ton, while it does not rest on the
person in bed or prevent the use of
the limbs. Another handy table for
the invalid's use can be made from q
dolls table. Cut off all four legs so
that they are only about eight inches
long. This table may be placed over
the covered legs of the patient with
the legs of the table resting on the
bed on each side. These tables may
be folded up and placed standing
against the wall of closet when not
in use.-Boston Post.

So many women complain that the
patent fasteners on the garters, which
are attached to the corsets, tear out
The stockings, but there is a clever
roman who has found a way out of
Ae difficulty. She sews two bits of
lhite tape to the top of her stock
ilgs and places them so they are
zach just where the patent fasteners
Usually come in contact with the
Stockings. She then removes the
fasteners from the garters and uses,
IN their stead, little pieces of ribbon
which match the color used in her
iorset cover. When she puts on her
stockings in the morning she slips
The ribbon in the loop of the garter
and then through the tape in her
stocking, tying the end in a neat
BOW.
Not only does this method save
.he stockings and lengthen their
period of usefulness, but It makes a
pretty finish far more dainty than
he patent fastener could possibly
be.
Inc lorm Ol Ine arrangement
might even be varied. Brown tape
might be fastened on brown stock
ings, and one might even have bit
of brown ribbon. Again, button
hole might be worked in the top of
the stocking, in which case the tape
might be dispensed with. Surely 1t
would be better to even go to that
much trouble than to spend count
less hours In the uncongenial task Of
mending slipped threads.--Pi Pittsburg

Queen Repairs an Auto.

Queen Helena of Italy probably is
the only woman automobile enthus-
last who has surprised a bafFled
chauffeur by pointing out to him the
desect in a motor. The Queen did
this on country road near Naples,
and for a couple of weeks all Italy
has been singing her praise. Thus
we see on what a slender thread the
popularity of crowned heads may
hang. Helena always has been pop
ular in Italy, but 1t took a little in
cident like this to draw the warmest
expressions of admiration since she

manuel. There was no chance in her
