HABIT, THE CORNERSTONE
OF Welded HAPPINESS

Every little while the newsnan crs
record the case of an apparently hale
and hearty old man going suddenly
into decline and dying within a
month or two after the loss of his life
partner. The same thing is recorded
of old ladies who. up to the day that
the familiar companion of their daily
existence is taken from them, appear
in the best of health
Do these old people die of grief
! through the loss of a loved one? or do
! they sucCumb to the more purely nhv-
steal shock of finding their whole mode
| of life interrupted?
A celebrated writer has declared.
Habit is the cement which holds
the whole edifice of matrimony TO-
| gether. With the passing of the years.
given the slightest basis of mutual
harmony, ones partner becomes indis-
pensable-not by reason of her charms
or the love we bear him. but simply
because she or he is a part of our
lives"
That is why the policy of constant
separation is foolish. Ii is based pre-
sumablyon the erroneous supposition
that absence makes the heart grow
fonder.
Where mutual harmony does not ex-
list, it may be true; and if a couple
dislike each other and get on badly. a
short separation may serve to,<relieve
the tension. But when affection ex-
lists it is a mistake. One learns TO do
without the other; that linking chain
of little daily intimacies, oft-repeated
jests, endearing customs. is tempo
rarily snapped, and is not easily put
together
How often have you heard a young
wife confide in friend to this effect:
If Lysander's been away from me a
day I've heaps to talk about when he
returns; if we've been parted a month
rye nothing on earth 10 say
But it is equally fatal TO go to the
other extreme. and one may entirely
agree with the person who said that
no house could be expected to go on
properly unless the male members of
the family were out of it for at least
six hours daily, Sundays excepted. The
woman whose husbands occupation
or lack of it keeps him at home all day
deserves profound sympathy. Merely
to have to think out and order man ST
lunch as well as his breakfast and din
ner must be a bitter trial.
The same principle applies to wo-
men though ii is not general recog-
nized. Undoubtedly a great number
of marriages prove unhappy merely
because the woman has not enough to
do.
Food is one of the chief sources of
friction in married life. Food. the or
dering and cooking of it, and the sub
sequent paying for it, is one of the
great tragedies of a wifes existence.
Many a bride has had her early mar !
ried life totally ruined by the ever !
recurring necessity of finding food for !
her partner.
But later. she finds that habit cures |
all Even habits which were trials be- |
come dear to her, because inseparable |
from her married existence.

To Remove Blackheads.

First of all, understand that
"blackheads" are merely dirt that
has accumulated in the pores, en-
larging them. and the only way to
rid the skin of this deposit is to wash
it out and contract the pores so they
will not fill again. Have a bowl of
very warm, but not hot, water, and
wiring soft cloths out of it. Lay these
on the face until the skin is soft,
warm and pink. Press out any of the
blackheads that will come without
bruising, touching each spot with a
drop of diluted alcohol. half water.
afterward. Then take fresh warm wa
ter and good soap and wash the face
with the palms of the hands. rubbing
hard. Rinse and, repeat. Dry on a
soft warm towel and examine the skin
in hand mirror. You will be sur
prised at the Improvement Fill the
skin with a good cold cream and re-
peat every night.

The Lonely Grave.

There's a Beautiful Silent City, not
far away,
| Where flowers bloom all summer, and
robins sing all day.
Each house holds a single inmate
none more permitted there,
| Man, or woman or infant, each has a
single share.
All day long come the people, thro' the
archways of the trees
In the springtime, in the summer, Win
ter SHOWS or autumn breeze.
And the muffled footsteps falter, as
they leave new inmates there.
With aching hearts and mourning,
with sobs that stif1e prayer!
Under the moss and daisies, under the
waving grass,
Silent and cold, and pulseless. the dead
lie. as they pass!
The people turn in sorrow, and back
to the living go
And many forget their mourning, and
a few live on in woe.
There's a lonely grave in that City"
And only the true hearts know it that
kneel by the withered moss.
The missing are soon forgotten. but
His life of greatness and worth
Should live in eternal remembrance
while His name is spoken on
earth.
But oh. were it in my power. l would
build thee, beloved saint,
A snOw-white marble chapel, costly
and rare, and quaint.
Enshrining thy sacred relics, l would
rear an altar there.
Where the Sacrifice eternal. would
blend with thy peoples prayer.
And no longer the sorrowing faithful
would kneel on the humble clay,
And wonder if all they noble deeds
had passed from mem'ry away.
For now in that sad Gods Acre"
where the mournfuI branches
wave,
There is naught in grateful remem-
brance but a lonely, unmarried
grave!

When Musicians Were Scarce.

In those days of Conservatives and
music schools, when each house has
its piano or its organ. to say nothing
of devotees to the cornet, violin and
banjo, it seems strange to assert that
there ever was a time when musicians
were in demand, yet such was really
the case. In the fifteenth century
musicians were so scarce in England
that they were impressed by govern
ment order. as in more recent times
seamen had to suffer in like manner.
Henry VIII also issued warrants for
the impressment of children with
good voices for the choir of the cathe-
drals, and in Eliza beth's time children
with the proper qualifications for her
majesty's chOirs were taken from
their parents without any compensa-
ton being given TO the latter.

Health and Beauty.

You cannot expect to have beauty of
face or form, a clear, rosy complexion
and a bright eye, If your digestion is
imperfect and your circulation poor.
Health and exercise go hand in hand
but you can exercise too much just as
you can eat too much. Nervousness
requires rest, mental and physical as
we'll as exercise. Take as much exer-
else as you can throughout the day,
and upon arising in the morning take
deep, slow respirations, with gentle
arm stretching, sideward and upward,
followed by drink of cool mot cold
water. After a brisk rubbing down
with a, Turkish towel, dress rapidly,
but without feeling of haste. Be
tween the hours of 10 and II indulge in
deep breathing and stretching exer-
cises, gentle trunk bendings in all di-
rections and head and trunk turnings

specially girls, to live on a simple diet
for at least a month. If, for that
length of time, they could be induced
to give up heavy sweets, gravies, fat
meats. tea and coffee, substituting the
most nourishing as well as the plainest
dishes. their compilations and eyes
would be clearer and their general
health much benefited, and better able
to withstand the strain of hot wealth

During the months dieting girls
should live principally on fish, eggs,
both cooked and raw; milk and thin
meat soups. In place of tarts, pies

stewed fruit of any kind, sweetened
to taste. That there might be sweets
enough for. the system. for a certain
amount of sugar is essential, they

Oily Hair in Summer.

The best thing for head that is in
cl1ned to be so oily and where the head
perspires so freely is to keep both as
cool as possible, and let the wind blow
through the hair when you can. Sham
poo the head every other week, using a
teaspoonful of salt of tartar in the wa
ter; no soap; when drying rub table
spoonful of any good toilet water into
the scalp and head. this helps to dry
both. 1t is not possible to keep such
hair in curl in warm weather; you

Cheerfulness.

There is scarcely an evil in life
which we cannot double by pondering
upon 1t; a scratch will thus become a
serious wound, and a slight illness be
made to end in death by the brooding
apprehensions of the sick. On the
other hand, a mind accustomed to look
upon the bright side of all things will
repel the mildew and dampness of care
by its genial sunshine. A cheerful
heart paints the world as it sees it,
like a sunny landscape; the morbid
mind depicts it like a sterile wilder
ness; and thus life, like the chame-
leon, takes its shade from the soil
upon which it rests. Cheerfulness
keeps up a daylight in the mind, fill
ing it with a perpetual serenity, and is
in itself an offshoot of goodness.
