really wants it can manage to buy
some cheap tract of land of two or
three acres, on river, lake, seashore

camp which viii give him comfort
and relaxation during his two or four
weeks leave of absence. There is an

to soften the dirt; then wash with
soap and warm water and wipe dry.
Next rub on mixture of kerosene and
| turpentine, one-third turpentine and
two-thirds oil. Polish with soft old
flannel. Let it rest for an hour or two
and then polish with soft linen. The
result is truly beautiful.
If the surface is very dull, dirty,
and scratched, instead of washing
with soap and water add more oil and
sprinkle powdered rottenstone over
it. Rub gently and regularly, first
with circular motion and then with
the grain of the wood. When the sur
face is smooth and bright. wipe off
the rottenstone and finish as you
would after washing with soap and
water.

then rub the stains with a piece of
flannel dipped in kerosene If the
stains are very obstinate. scour them
well with the flannel well moistened
with kerosene and dipped in salt. At
terward remove all traces of kero-
sene by washing il Thoroughly with
hot water aud soap.

Importance.

Smith has little baby, a fragile, fret
full thing;
To him it's more important than any
earthly king;
He fondly bends above it, with conn
tenance benign,
And thinks if it We're taken the SIM
would cease to shine.
Jones has become a merchant: a
CLEAN is in his eye;
His shop is very narrow and but one
story high,
Yet Jones, whose breast is bullying
with feelings that are sweet,
Can see no other building along the
busy street.

Play is for the babes" DR.. Woods
Hutchinson of New York strikes at
the root of the matter when he says:
I'VE hear much about the terrible
ravages of death among those who
enjoy themselves. They call it the
result of diseases of play but the Dis
eases of Work Kill Their Hundreds OF
Thousands While Only Thousands
Succumb to the Diseases of Play, even
including dissipation and wine, wo-
men and song.
I'VE say usually that when a man
gets old ne does not enjoy himself
and that he does not have any pleas
ure. We say that when man gets old
he quits playing. The fact is that
when man quits playing, he gets
old"
Ebert HUBBARD was fond of advis-
ing his readers, to drop cares and
play tag with the children. Abraham
Lincoln's personal bodyguard says
that the great man of the American
nation used to romp up and down the
corridors of the executive mansion
with his small son Tad on his should
ers in order that the child might have
the heritage of play to which every
child has a right and, also, that he
himself might drop the weight of an
Xiety moment and refresh his
strength. 1t would be well if we look
ed upon the simple pleasures of life
in more favorable light, RELOCATING
them not so much to the youngsters
and supplemented folk but having
the breadth of mind and clearness of
vision to recognize that play is natu-
raj to the human being, that his con-
stitution demands it and that it has
its purpose as clearly as the policy
of work. Either, carried to the ex-
IRENE of intemperance, kills. Both
taken in moderation and properly
subordinated to life itself are the road
that all men should travel. When a
man quits playing, he gets old but
that does not mean that Grandfather
is justified in losing his beauty sleep
to play poker with the boys until
three O'Clock in the morning or that
Miss Society Bud should stave off
wrinkles by dancing in high-heeled
slippers until the aurora of dawn APP
pears upon the horizon. Moderation
in all things is virtue.

What is EdncatiOn?

Some of us have very feeble idea
of just what constitutes education. Is
it knowledge of books and their
learning or a familiarity with men
and their cunning? Is it clever COM
pound of dates and facts or sKilful
combination of practical truths? Can
a woman be truly, educated and yet
commit grampnatical errors and, on
the other hand, can woman be I'M
educated though her speech is error
less and her English perfect? Yes and
no. We are discovering, little by lit
tie, that education is not hopelessly
associated with facts and figures and
deductions of scientists and mathe-
maticians but that it is more than
anything else, state of mind, a
reaching out of soul, an earnest CROP
ing for light in order that the individ-
ual may adjust himself to his niche
in life without discomfort and confu-
sion. An individual may be ever so
well stocked with the learning of
books, a student may be ever so we'll

mind and the possibilities of the in

Magazine cites the matter interesting
ly in a recent editorial 1t says:

Gated who fail, for that reason, to fit

aim of education is not to acquire a
great number of facts or even to heap
up resources but to fit a person to
serve her kind Education doubles
joys and powers, indeed, but it also
doubles responsibilities and the edu-
Gated woman must accept with her
advantages an increased debt to her

cation is false and poor Education
must be at the beck and call of who

Practical System.

Many a housewife complains of

whenever supplies begin to run

list, then, is always complete when
