wo,,ss.r For The c,sy.

A man who, like many other men Of

the government of the small city In
which he lives. He has been much
Distressed at the obvious waste going
on In department after department
before the eyes Of every one. One day,
In the desire to investigate conditions
at first hand, he'had the little expert
ence which he afterward told
~ follows:
On Pleasant Street found five men
sitting on the fence by the roadside.
One Of them was dressed In . very
handsome suit Of clothes, and was
smoking . large cigar. The Others
were plain w0rkmen. In the road
stood dump-cart just over place
where the macadam had worn through.

Brief Hints.

When other remedies fail to relieve
coughs, try drinking pepper and water.
To loosen cold, equal parts Of lard,
kerosene and turpentine mixed toget tn
er and rub thoroughly on chest and
throat.
Turpentine on bleeding cuts, scratch,
etc, takes out soreness.
When Group comes on suddenly In
the night try ringing flannel In cold
water and lay OH the chest Of the suf-
ferer, being careful to put dry CLOTH
on top to prevent clothing from getting
wet. This has given relief when other
remedies failed.
When child (or anyone) Is feverish,
bathe the limbs IN cold water.
When frying eggs, try putting cover
OH pan instead Of dipping grease over
them with spoon.
When setting sponge over night in
cold weather, II there is any danger
Of Its getting cold, put in small

Happy Childhood.

/ II there Is one thing a parent owes to
the child more than another, 1t Is that
1t should have q happy childhood.
We do not mean by that that one
should he extravagant In buying toys
for the children or spoil them by grant
ing every humor that strikes them.
The child that has too many toys, as a
rule, Is not as happy as the child with
only few. To get the best out OF
every toy the parents should guide
the child In playing with that toy.
Most Of us think our childhood was
an exceptionally happy one and so II
was when we consider the obstacles
that constantly beset us as grown up
men and women. We feel as though
We did not appreciate the good times
Of our yOuth-we did not know what
good times we were enjoying. And
really the greatest pleasure of all was
not the jolly times we had then SC
much as the great pleasure we have in
living over In our memory some OF
those happy youthful times.

Keeping Sweet.

1t is not q matter of temperament
nearly SO much az some people imagine.
To have CHEEKY and sunny and care
free habit Of thought and life, is some
thing probably to be sought after aud
cultivated more than it is, but there IL
a greater achievement than this, and a
much more Christian and fundamental
one.
1t ia not matter of circumstances
or surroundings or chance happenings
in life. Some Of the sweetest souls,
those who keep most resolutely the
bitterness Of envy and nlistrust, and
narrowness, and pessimism, out Of
their scheme Of life, have had to drink
most deeply Of the cup of sorrow and
trouble and affiiction. Keeping sweet
is habit of the soul, 1t is not learned
lightly by very many Of us, but 1t may
be, 1t ought to be, maintained and per
sisted in even when life is doing its
worst for us.
just to take men and things at their
best, perverse men and perverse things,
It may be; to resoluteiy shut your soul

fear; to be brave and hopeful and ex-

pectant Of the best; to let kindness ana
patience have their perfect work both
I'm your thought and In your deed-ah
these are implied just in keeping sweet.
Yes, surely, It Is great achievement,
the crown aud glory Of Christian
attainment.
We discount our religion most SER
iously and fatally when we do not
allow II to train and discipline Us In
this fine art Of Christian expression.
We get the notion sometimes that
barsbness means strength, and we try
to Justify bitterness and unkindness in
the name Of our zeal for righteousness
and truth. But we seldom succeed In
satisfying our own conscience by the
subterfuge, and we do always succeed
IN taking something from the win
-on,eness and charm and real power Of
the religion that we profess. 1t is a
question II the lack Of kindliness, Of
forbearance, of sweet reasonableness,
that manifests itself In our lives 80
often and 10 constantly does not do
more to dishOnOr the name OF the Son
OF Man and to discredit the cause Of his
kingdom than all the other failures and
shortcomings that our lives do show.
Just to keep sweet, In our own soul life
and in all our relations with the world
about us, is to give to our profession Of
religion a winsomness and vitality that
will make II a power for the bringing In
OF the kingdon.--The Christian Guard

ofthe labor unions are unknown no far

sation Ia more uncertain than wind

tiful harvest may result from favorable
natural conditions, the market may
fall and leave him poorer for having

receive $l.35 for his wheat.
Although drouth or flood or insec
peat may leave ruin in their wake,
even in this land Of the golden sunshine,
our farmer forgets his disappointment
and cheerfully and hopefully sows
again the following season to await
once more the uncertain result. Al
though the reward for one seasons
