Home in the Heart.

Oh! ask not a home in the mansions OF
pride,
Where marble shines out in the pill
lars and walls;
Though the roof be of gold it is bril-
liantly cold,
And joy may not be found in its
torchlighted halls.
But seek for a bosom, all honest and
true,
Where love once awakened will never
depart:
Turn, turn to that breast like dove to
its nest,
And you'll find there's no home like
the home in the heart.
Oh! link but one spirit that's warmly
sincere,
That will heighten your pleasure and
solace your care;
Find soul you may trust as the kind
and the just,
And be sure the wide world holds no
treasure so rare.
Then the frowns of misfortune may
shadow our lot,
The cheek-searing teardrops OF sorrow
may start,
But a star never dim sheds a halo for
him
Who can turn for repose to home in
the heart.
Eliza Cook.

How Women Are Educated in Tur.

door of one of the round tents, peered
into the smoke blackened interior, and
found an old white-turbaned ''khofa'

How is this?' 1 asked in Turk, sur
prised at such a reversal of Moham-

"Oh, yes" answered the teacher with
a shrug of his shoulders, but what can
we do7 We are poor. The boys must

What Judge Lindsey Says.

Before giving the quotations from
Judge Lindsey, one of the bestowed
men in the United States. let me re-
mind you that at this last election he
was obliged to run on an Independent
ticket, as both the political parties OF
Denver were dominated by the inter-
ests" and dared not nominate him. He
was elected in spite of the interests -
in spite Of the fact that, with one or
two EXCEPTIONS, the papers said nothing
about his candidacy and he was elected
largely because the women of the pain
people rallied to his suppore. There
were wealthy women who had no obiec-
ton to him, but who could not oppose
their men folks in the political field
Judge Lindsey, however. did not lack
for friends among either men or
women, and despite the powers that
make for lawlessness and robbery, he
was elected.
That is a story that tells what men
and women can do when they work
together in the cause of civic right
eousness.
Wei, Judge Lindsey knows the dirty
inside Of practical politics. he knows
because he has seen; because he has his
knowledge by personal study and obser-
walton, and he has learned that the man
who would introduce the disturbing and
destructive element is a traitor to his
city and his fellow men.
What is good for the taxpayers and
the homes of the men OF ore party in a
city Is just as good Cor the taxpayers
and the homes of the men of the other
party in q city. Judge Lindsey sSFs:

Time for a Change.

Most of us praise the ancient music
of Erin very loudly, but we do not
pay out cash to compensate those
whose lives are devoted to its preser-
walton. When The old songs are pre-
sented to us we do not purchase them.
and when new ones are written by
Irish men and women of genius we do
not buy them. Instead of spending 25
cents for brilliant Celtic melodies our
young people pay out that amount for
such ineffably disgusting ghastlies as
If the Man in the Moon Were a
Coon" I'm Afraid to Come Home in
the Dark" Wont You Be My Baby?"
and similar silly nasties. 1t is not to
our credit that this is so, and it is
time for change.-New World.

Red Ears a Beauty Handicap.

The same girl who will go to untold
trouble to get the color out of her
nose seems to give herself no concern
if her ears are flaming signals on
each side her face. Yet red ears are
caused by the same troubles that
make for a red nose and should be
as carefully fought.
Who ever heard of dieting for the
ears? Yet if they burn and are scar
let, nine times out of ten the diges-
ton is at fault.
To keep the ears to that delicate
blush pink that is the sign of beauty
do not eat over-seasoned foods or IN
dulge I'm sudden changes from heat TO
cold, as boiling cup of chocolate fol-
lowed by plate of ice cream.
Pickles in overdoses are said to
make the ears flush and burn, while
rich or greasy foods are equal to a
tube of carmine paint as maker Of
vivid hues.
The ears chap as well as the rest OF
the face, and care should be taken to

Freckled little boy is he
Waiting at the greenwood tree.
Where the pathway bends away
Shutting out our youth and play
spot where strength and purpos
dawned
When we sought the things beyond.
Turning to LIES toll and care
Years ago we left him there
Took those chubby hands of his
While we made our promises
Promised what we'd do and be
There beyond the greenwood tree.
Now all aged, bent and gray
Back again we come today,
Hearts athrob and light with joy;

Waiting at the greenwood tree
Turns upon us quizzically!
What Of all we promised then
When we sought the world of men?
What of all the things that we
Promised we should do and be?-
Did you? Something whispers low
Through the Greenwood's branches
No

Silver'd age for falling wide
You know not the pit and snare
In The world of toiling there
You know not how age has wept
Ger the promises unkept.

Surprising Books.

Two recent publications of the Cath
Ole Literature association, which in
spite of its name is not Catholic but
Anglican, would doubtless be as much
of a surprise to most of our readers as
they have been a shock 10 a number
of the Low Church branch of the Es-
Enlistment. One is "A Mary Hymn
Book" compiled mainly from Catholic
sources, and containing a list of all
the feasts of the Blessed Virgin. The
other is The Holy Rosary" a penny
booklet to which we feel sure the Pope
himself would be pleased to give his
appreciation. These very small books
are of very great Importance. 1t is no
surprise to learn that certain of the
Anglican bishops regard them with
high disfavor. Ave Maria.

protect them with a veil when walking
on cold or clustering days.
If the ears are outstanding or of an
ugly shape, especial care should be
taken not to add redness to their
ugliness. Some girls powder them ex-
cessively. This is a mistake, as it
gives a slovenly look to the face if not
well done.
The powder should be applied with
soft cloth and we'll rubbed in so that
not a particle stands on the surface.
Oddly enough, there is nothing more
becoming to the chemically red ears
than to wear screw earrings of tur-
quois. The Blush green tint has a
tendency to whiten the ears and make
them appear nallid.

bathing in cold water is a simple plan
worth trying.
A little boracic acid may be dissolved
in the water if the eyes are inclined To
water in the morning and the eyelids
stick together. One teaspoonful of the
powder in a cupful of water would be
a suitable strength.
Girls who suffer from tender eyes
should try bathing them night and
morning with a lotion composed of half
a drachm Of borax and six drachms Of
aqua Laurocerast in eight ounces of
roseWater. Apply little Of the pure
lotion to the eyes with clean cotton
wool. Burn the wool afterward; never
use it a second time.

Recipes for Good Tooth Powders.

1t is possible to use tooth powder tina;
is too active to benefit the teeth, be-
cause of the strong bleaching ingredi-
ents contained. Consequently it is bet
ter to select a mild lotion that does less
whitening, yet is not injurious.
Before analysing cleansing powders
and washes attention should be given
to the selection of brushes. 1t is better
to have one which is too small than one
over large, because in the former case
all the teeth will be gone over, when a
brush that is too big cannot reach those
in the back of the jaw. This is a fact
worth remembering.
BriStles of uniform length are not as
effective as those which are curved.
There is never the slightest doubt
about the front teeth being thoroughly
cleansed, but only a brush in which the
bristles are longer at the tip than in
the middle will reach into every crevice
and crack at the back. The ideal brush
is narrow and slightly curved, or has
bristles shorter in the middle than at
either end.
All brushes should be soaked over
night before first using. For in this
way the bristles are frightened.
One of the simplest and best powders
has precipitated chalk as a basis. In
deed. this chalk is the foundation of al
most all such cleansers. and may be
used full strength at night and left on
In powder combination three and Il
half drains are put with a quarter of
dram of powdered camphor and hair a
dram of powdered orris root. Sitting
many times is required to mix this
combination. This is not saponaceous,
but it can be made so by the addition
of half a dram of powdered CASTLE
soap.
Bicarbonate of soda is invaluable as
a tooth cleanser. 1t counteracts the
acidity which is so deleterious to ena-
mel. and it may be used every night,
applying with a brush. quite as ona
would a powder Once a day is suf-
fcient to use this rinse, although it
should be applied after eating acids or
sweets. Than this there is no better
simple way of preserving the teeth.
When the gums are tender and bleed
after brushing, a powder made from
half an ounce of precipitated chalk, {.
quarter of an ounce of borax, an
eighth Of an ounce of powdered myrrn
and orris root is excellent.
A very strong bleaching powder, and
one that should not be used oftener
than one in two weeks, is made of half
an ounce Of pumice stone in impalpable |
powder, a quarter of an ounce each of |
oicarbonate of soda and powdered tale |
md three drops of oil of lavender. The
powder is worked into the oil, sitting |
many times, and forcing through the
jumps
If the pumice stone is omitted the
mixture can be used daily, and is par
icularly good when there is an excess
# acid in the system.

Spare Leaves.

Not a sound the old leaves utter
As they swirl and swoop and flutter
From the branches to the gutter.
From their glory to their shame:
AS they die before their fellow
Leaves have donned their red and yell
low.
Ere the Autumns fashions mellow
Into flame,
Yet catch my spirit trying
To interpret their replying
To the sympathetic signing
Of the breezes from the vest
We have garnished London's leanness
With tiny spot of greenness,
We have touched mans sordid mean
ness
With Gods best"
So these leaves of nightly musing
For a stem my heart is using
Till they fall to meet the bruising
OF the traffic rushing by:
Yet perchance their shadows, waving
Ger the heartless city paving,
Yield the hope some soul is craving
Ere they die

Exposed Their Weakness.

Our Methodist friends declared wal
on Joe Cannon and denounced him ir
every church gathering for the past
two months. Yet Cannon was elected
by his usual majority. From this it
would appear that the Methodists are
not able to make good their political
threats. Better to keep out of politics
altogether than expose their weakness
in that Mariner. Soon politicians will
be seeking their condemnation as eager
ly as some now seek their Endorsement.
