WISE SAYINGS OF HORACE.

Thus the richer man is always an
obstacle to one who is Fastening to be
rich.
Glory drags in her dazzling car the
obscure as closely fettered as those
OF noble birth.
The crowd hiss me, but applaud
myself at home when 1 contemplate
my money in my treasure chest"
How it is, then, that no one lives
content with his condition. whether
reason gave it him or chance threw
it his way?

Hence it is that we rarely find a

happy, and, content with his past
life, can retire from the world like a
satisfied guest.

TRUTH IN PLAIN CLOTHES.

God hates a short yardstick.
Bad seed flourish the best in good
soil.
Money alone cannot make anybody
rich.
Truth never lodges. no matter who
shoots.
The Dead Sea in human form is q
religious sponge.
The greatest Of all commandments
is to love one another.
The only way to keep clear of sin
is to keep close to Christ
Those who preach only to the head
soon become tired in heart.
The man who sets a bad example
is working for the devil, whether he
knows it or not.
The man who uses tobacco never
seems to know or care how much of
q nuisance he is to others.
The devil is not wasting any pow
der on the man who is a saint in

HINTS FOR THE HoUsEKEEPER.

This is the season OF the year when
we get our best nuts, and those who
are living without meat find they
prove a good substitute.
Olive oil. cream and butter are all
valuable foods and should be used
freely.
The plan of keeping a house purse
downstairs near at hand will save
many steps and much time.
Cookies and cakes in stone Jars With
pieces of orange or lemon peel will
find them delicately favored.
A child's broom will be found most
useful in sweeping under heavy pieces
OF furniture or in small spaces where
1t Is not easy TO use a broom.
Keep two calendars at hand; they
VIII be found most useful. one to tear
on, the other to keep to refer back to
past dates when necessary.
A dainty little ruching for the house
dress is made Of the footing OF lace
used a good deal a few years ago.
Basic or plat on double to a narrow
binding, and put into the nocks OF all
the washable morning dresses. These
ruchings launder well.
A very easy way to tint lace any
desired color is to use oil paints. the
kind which comes in small tubes used
by artists. Thin It with gasoline and
dip small piece Of lace to get the
right shade.
To make handkerchiefs look like
new that have been washed, iron when
very damp, or add a very little starch
to the rinse water.
Instead of sweeping the carpets so
much with a broom, cover the broom
with a bag. dampen slightly and rub
1t over the carpet in the direction of
the pile. 1t will not be necessary to
sweep it so often.
Before writing a letter, a great help
is to jot down items which may be
written about; in that way a good let
ter is written and when it is sealed
and on its way one is not so apt to
remember that the most important
thing was left unsaid.

Little Willie enjoyed life pretty well
until the new gardener came. 1t was
very hard not to be allowed to dig for
worms any more or to cut across the
flower beds or play the garden hose ON
the dog Willie would just as soon 90
to school as go into the garden now.
One day Willie told his mother that
when he grew up to be a big man like
papa he was going to buy a very large
bottle of castor oil and make the new
gardener drink 1t au--very slowly.

SENTENCE SERMONS.

It's a good deal easier to believe
that the angels love many sinners
than that they love all the saints.
Ii you really want to know the world
you will do more than investigate its
shadows and sample its garbage cans.
When you are able to set your re-
ng1on In compartment of your life,
life itself comes along and locks up
the file.
You may know how much a man is
really worth by seeing how much he
puts in after singing. Here, Lord,
give myself away"

COLORING MATTER IN
GREEN PEAS.

1t was recently demonstrated
at an exposition in New York
that enough colorins matter is
contained in a can of green peas
to dye a handkerchief deep
copper color. It Is not ILLEGAL
to use certain dyeing and pre-
serving materials in canned
foods if they are labeled as the
law requires. Appeal to the eye
and sense of taste are not to be
ignored, but so long as people
prefer denatured flour and de.
natured rice because they look
Prettier and bright green canned
goods because they look prettier
it is impossible to have good nu-
triton with good health. 1t
should be possible to get unpoI-
ished rice anywhere cheaper
than the polished, and it should
be possible to buy entire wheat
anywhere, but merchants can
not afford to keep such choice
foods because there is little de-
mand for them, owing to the
lack of such knowledge as Is
daily supplied in these Hints.
1t would be easy now to form
In this city club who could
purchase the best food for
themselves at reduced prices or
arrange with a grocer who
would gladly keep such food If
he knew Of the demand.

A western university, shocked by
the discovery that nine billions are
annually spent in the United States
for food. shelter and clothing by
women demand that women be trained
to spend money economically. Yet
when women made a beginning in
clothing by cutting down the amount
of material for skirts, in hobble shape,
about one-half, they were criticised
last as harshly. What are the poor
women to do?
