no DRAW THREADS.

1t is very dificult oftentimes to
draw threads in materials for hem
stitching. One gets a thread going
and suddenly it breaks and must be
hunted for, or else a new thread
picked up, which makes bad looking
work, To avoid this make a thick
lather of any kind of soap, and with
lather brush--if you have one; il
not, an old soft toothbrush will do
go over the material where the
threads are to be drawn, lathering it
well. When this is done allow the
lather to thoroughly dry When you
begin to draw the threa6.s you will
find that they will draw very easily,
without breaking.

WISE WORDS.

"A man never fights so hard for a
principle as he does for results.
Occasionally you find grown man
who seems to eat almost as much as
small boy.
The things that make man dis
contented are not what he has, but
what he wants..
1t is quite natural that fellow will
never have show unless he has the
price of admission.
Some men are so rich that they
even seem to think they can pay their
respects in dollars.
The man who is easily worked is
always overworked.
He who swallows his pride should
be sure his digestion is all right.
Fine feathers may not make fine
birds, but mans clothes may make
him look like jay.
There are lots of good points about
many a man we wouldn't suspect if
he didn't tell us about them.
That women have little sense Of
humor may be due to the fact that
they don't want to laugh and grow
fat.
When a woman's face is her for
tune she shouldn't have much trouble
in getting through life on her cheek.
The good don't all die young if
we are to believe the tombstones.
When fellow tells a girl she is
dream. it is cruel to her to wake
him up.
Even the man who borrows trouble
is apt to kick If he gets more than he
bargained for.
The man who suffers from dyspep-
STA has little patience with a woman
who merely has broken heart.
Some people take a melancholy
satisfaction in always being prepared
for the worst.
It always worries an absent-minded
man to think he can't remember what
it was he was going to worry about.

PLANTS FOR PORCH BOXES.

Avoid the planting of flowers that
demand sun in situations where only.
shade is to be had, and, on the other
hand, do not waste time and effort by
setting shade loving plants in posi-
lions exposed to the full glare of the
sun. Neither will thrive.
Usually the most perplexing prob
lem is to select plants for the north
side of the porch or the north win
dows. Trailing fuchsias, ivy geran-
iums, fancy calaGiums, vincas, aspar-
agus, Japanese morning glories, gle
choma and begonias are all suitable,
to say nothing of the numerous ferns.
The common umbrella plant" also
does we'll in such situations, but re-
quires more water than the others.
For boxes on the south, geraniums,
antirrhinums ('snap dragonsp), he
