RINGING THE BELLE.
This rather clever little thought
We captured on the wing;
A pretty girl is called belle
Because she's made to ring.

A very clever little thought,
And yet we're bound to say
Her tongue may prove clapper loud
After the wedding day.

Another thought disturbs us, boys,
To tell it we make bold;
A belle can make an awful noise
Sometimes when she's not tolled.

ONE WAY FOR WOMAN TO EARN A
LIVING.

ONE WAY FOR A WOMAN TO EARN A
LIVING.
In the November Woman's Home
Companion appears an account of a
woman who, left in financial difficulties,
made good living by starting shop in
which she prepared daintily cooked foods
so reasonable in price that families of
two bought from her instead of cooking
for themselves She had a regular
schedule of things for sale each day in
the week and developed good business.
Following is an extract:
''She worked from seven to eleven
o'clock each morning, then from two I'M
til five O'Clock each afternoon. Each
month she cut off every one of her items
that was not popular, and substituted
novelties. Her list of customers grew
slowly but surely, and with many she
had standing orders. The day she de-
livered orders the boy collected the
dishes left the day before; and as she
made him responsible for them, he was
careful.
''She asked her friends to save her all
their empty one-half pound baking pow
der boxes, and in these she cooked her
little suet buildings. She bought little
paper ice-cream shells and served sauces,
ETC., in them.
''There were only few dishes to
wash, she found, as every thing came
back clean, and she had only to scaa
them. If the dishes she made were
more than enough to fill her orders, the
surplus was put on sale in her front
room. She also had an assortment of
cakes and pies.
las her fame spread, she often made
salads, cakes. etc, for parties, and
made rate for larger quantities. She
put up special luncheons for picnic par
ties, and at various times directed the
suppers given to a business men s club.
''She has today a steady paying BUSH
ness and a substantial bank account, and
while many have suggested that she
make up her dishes in larger quantities
and move to larger place, she prefers
her safe though small business.
$50 the little capital of one hundred
dollars left her by her husband has be-
come, in the hands of this resourceful
woman with a good practical accomplish
ment, the basis Of self-respecting
livelihood

WHY FRET?

In the November American Magazine
appears the following:
care the trains too slow for you?
Caesar, with all of his court, never 'ex-
ceeded' the speed limit.
care your wages too small? In Eu-
rope people are content with making
living.
Are the lights too dim? David wrote
his psalms by the light of smoky torch.
Are you ugly? Cleopatra, though
homely, bewitched two emperors.
Are you cold? The soldiers of Val
ley Forge walked barefoot on the ice and
snow.
care you hungry? The children of
India are starving for want of a crust of
bread
care you tired? Why fret about it?
Jacob was tired when he dreamed of the
angels of Heaven.
''Are you sick? Suppose you had lived
two thousand years ago VIXEN sickness
was fatal
''Are you poor? The Saviour of Men
was not wealthy.
Cheer up. Praise God that you live
in the midst of his blessings!

HOUSEKEEPING IN BRITISH HONDURAS.

HOUSEKEEPING IN BRITISH HONDURAS.
The trials of housekeeper in British

Lady Swayne, wife of the Governor, in
November Wide World Magazine, SER
vice being Indifferent and food not of the
best quality. Milk and butter are timed.
and vegetables have to be imported from
the States. Thinking to remedy this, we
attempted to grow our own vegetables,
but soon found this to be impossible.
owing to the fact that the garden was
infested with crabs-a novel pest for a
garden, surely! The erustaceans NAV
apparently have all been killed off one
year, but the next autumn they swarm
down to the sea again from their I'M
known breeding places inland in VERT
able arm.es. Sitting in the veranda, one
can hear their shells clacking and clash
ing against each other, as they hustle
past the house. We tried to circumvent
the pests by wiring in the vegetable
plot; but this proved unavailing, as there
is water about foot below the surface,
and the crabs had only to dive down one
side of the fence and come up smiling on
the other These crabs are not the ordi-
nary variety, and are not generally used
for food. At one time of year, however,

go out at night, one with lantern and
one with a sack, into which the crabs
are thrown as they are collected. We
occasionally sit on the lawn close to the
sea, and if we remain perfectly quiet
and motionless for minute or so the
crabs come out Of their holes all round
US; the slightest movement on our part,
however, sends them settling back to
their habitations.
