The highest service OF love is net
to console but to inspire, not to com
fort but 10 stimulate. He loves best
who demands and secures the highest
from the loved one. The mother loves
her child most d%ivinely. not when she
surrounds him with comfort and antici-
pates his wants, but when she reso-
lutely holds him to the highest stand
ards and is content with nothing less
than his best. ".'he immortality Of love
shines in a home, mol when blindness
shuts the eyes of the mother a l wife,
but when the clear-sightedDes 1f hei
love reveals itself in the greatness Of
her demands and expectations. It is a
fable that love is blind; passion is
often blind, but love never. They who
love are sometimes blind to the faults
Of those for whom they care. but not
because they love them. When love
has it's way, It grows more clear'sight

Dog Commits Suicide.

Rex, the big Newfoundland dog
whose presence in the pool rooms was
always hailed as a harbinger of good
luck by those playing the races, DELHI
erately committed suicide recently by
drowning himself.
For several weeks the dog had been
i'll and was under the care of Jack
Barton, to whom the dog was much
attached.
Rex accompanied a number Of men
to the wharf, and while they stood by
he jumped into the water and made
no effort TO keep above the surface.
Barton, fearing for the dogs life,
jumped in and began to haul him to
safety, but Rex shook him off, and
swimming out Of the mans reach,
stuck his head under the water and
soon sank. The body foated ashore
a few days later.--San Francisco Can.

RECIPE FOR SOAP JELLY.
Economical Way Of Using Up the
Waste Scraps.

Take as much soap as will be re-
Quired and cut It down In shreds.
Put 1t into a saucepan and Just cover
1t with hot or cold water. Allow the
soap to melt slowly we the FIRE until
1t ia quite clear and without Jumps.
Do not fill the saucepan too full, as
soap Is much inclined to boil over.
The soap may be put into a jar In.
stead OF a saucepan and melted in
the oven. Any scraps Of soap may be
used in this way. 1t is better to make
soap jelly fresh each week. as It loses
Its strength II kept many days.
Remember that the odor and taste
OF soap will cling very tenaciously to
anything with which 1t comes In con-
tact, so that the knife and board on
which 1t was cut, also the saucepan,
ought to be kept for that purpose only.

Not the least valuable legacy
which a father leaves a child 10
