So sEAuTIFy DAMP. SHADY
 PLACES.

Dear Sisters: Have any of you a Bnadyy damp place in your garden, where nothing seems to thrive or Erow?' If so, go out into the woods beside some running stream, if pos- bfble and before the ferns have start ed to grow dig up some good hardy pnes, bring them home and plant rhem in the damp. shady place and a little later in the season plant lilies among them. The ferns will grow to be between three and four feet high. and with the lilies makes the handsomest kind of flower bed and ono that requires little care.
 For an outside window box have you ever tried planting sweet peas ? Sow them with lavish hand and do not try to train them against the house. The peas will first fall over the edge of the box. perhaps. to the depth of two feet. and then. as it is the na- ture of them to grow up, will turn and grow upwards, making 0 beautiful pale green mane with an outward curve. When in blossom the effect is Lovely

THOSE HEARTAcHEs.

Dear Sisters Of the Social Corner: learned a long while ago that it was better to nurse d friend than to nurs e a heartache. There is no reason why d heartachs should not be attended to and cured just as promptiy as any other pain. I sometimes think heart aches are the commonest aches iri the human family; but as we. don't talk about them or call a doctor to cure them, less is heard Of them. And those hearts ache too much over the faults Of members of our family and friends; and their hearts may ache be- cause of our faults; and sometimes these hearts ache senselessly because they are tender to little trials and dis- appointments which 1t is beneath us really to notice We have 2 habit of being annoyed by. Irregularities when it would be so much. better not to notice them. Half of, life's trials can be prevented by silence; and the heart aches greatly 1essefied by 8 realiza- ton that a heartache. hurts us and helps no one Many of the little woes and disappoifl tmer1ts of life can be pre- vented by calrnness and amiabilfty. Wayward ones are not in your keep ing, but in the keeping of God. Do not quarrel with them, but just love

THE VALUE oF A GOOD FRIEND.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner. = Who can estimate the value of a good friend? If wisely chosen the influence upon you will be for good. How we and loving friend. To me the word friend means so much. love te look back over my life and think of those who have extended to me a friendly hand, have spoken q kind word. Would I erase these from my memory? Oh, no: for in my loneliness they help me still.
 We have had many, fine letters. in the Garner about friends, and beautifu quotations from noted authors, now let us see what the inspired men of God have to say about them:
 And Abraham was called the friend of God"
 ITO him. that is afflicted pity should be shown him from his friends"
 "Asfriend loveth at all times" 4.
 "A man that hath friends must show
 ''Thine own friends and thy fathers friends forsake not"
 ssYe are my. friends if ye do what I have commanded you.s
 T have called you friends"
 There is friend that sticketh clos CT than a brother
 Let us all choose Him for our friend, for in time of trouble he will not forsake us. for. He says. To! am with you always"
 Don't look for flaws as you go through life.
 And ever when. you hnd them, Iris wise and kind to be somewhat
 blind. And look for virtues behind them,

 Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- To the young housekeeper who signs herself "Ignorance,'' I would say that I have tried many different things and ways to drive out ants from the pan try, put they are apt to come else where, so this is tine way have man. aged; When the ants first show them selves I mix a little milk or cream and sugar-eake crumbs in a saucer and place them where the ants appear and keep them well fed at the point of entrance if possible. If they seem to be everywhere 1 take four cans weli-f filled with water and set the table legs therein, and they cannot get upon it. On this I put food and keep it covered with napkins. I have been troubled with moths. and by thorough- ly airing the garments or goods, and then carefully examining them and picking the moths off, they were soon made an end of. It requires constant attention to control the pests. Oil of cedar about the edges of the carpets, and the judicious use of moth balls will keep them out.

 The average man that delights to find fault with the newspapers and censure their admitted imperfections with never applauding their many substantial good works and public benefits, would be surprised to sec what would become of this experiment in popular goverfimeht we are trying here if 1t were not for printers ink He does not appear to appreciate the faSt that the press, in it's capacity al news purveyor, if in no other way, IS the: one great indispensable clearing house of popular intelligence, the medium by which the minds of the millions of co-partners in the govern ment scattered over great continent are kept in daily touch with each oth- CT about the details of their own bus mess.

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- l never thought as much of The Bull letin as since I got interested in the Social Corner. l had thought six dollars a year too much for the paper, but l have changed my mind. When you live. out in the country and do not see much of life, and evenings are so lonesome on the farm, what is better than The Bulletin to pass away an evening? and Saturday night you can ait down and read with your Social sis- ter. brothers and the children. how fine they are doing. Why, I really think it IS as. good as anything I know of to broaden the mind: and I think if any body was in pain, if they took that story our good Social Corner brother wrote for The Bulletin last Saturday, you would forget to send for the doc to-.
 Now, sisters, he thought women were never interested in the boys down in Mexico, but if I knew his number | would call him up on the telephone. If any of you failed to read it. be sure you don't forget to do so. Oh. it was grand.. He hit the old and the young but not so you would feel it. I don't mind those kinds of hits; they are just the medicine we all need to en- courage us. to stick to the farm; but like the farm was not brought up on one.Lfhat is. what you would call a real farm. We kept q COW and d few hens. That is d different thing from what I am now doing. We keep 20 head of horses, cows and colts. and am proud to say | can milk dozen cows and do the farm chores, if pec- essary- think if women did little more work out of doors consumption would die instead of the wonneri.
 Now just a word to, Sweet Eayen- der: 1 think I should like a house across the way. with her. in it She sounds like some Of those good reel pes-better when you know them than to read about; that is the kind I love, and wish I could find many; and the GaIoner Lake sister wrote So nice, so true.
 We'll, I won't tire you any more this time; and l hope you will all keep writing. I am interested.
