Conquer Yourself
The End

Keep always uppermost in your mind
the thought that you are going to sue
ceed. Close your ears TO any voice that
tells you differently. No one ever made
a success who was afraid of failure.
Doubt In the heart weakens energy, and
makes effort lifeless and hopeless. In
the majority OF cases II is true that he
can who thinks he can. Half the battle,
and the most important half is within
your own heart Conquer yourself, and
outside obstacles will seem easy by COM
parison. Most people who fail are rem
dered failures, not because of some diff
Guilty encountered in the world without,
but because OF some weakness in the
world within.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.
How to Make a Pool For the Water
Garden,

How to Make a Pool For the Water
Garden.
Nowadays there are many forms Of
gardening, but perhaps few are more
interesting than the water garden.
Most persons have an idea that wa
ter garden is only possible where there
is large amount of room. This is
quite a wrong notion. There must be
few gardens in which it is not possible
to spare a piece of ground about nine
feet square, and this is all that is nee
essary.
The situation is a matter Of some,
Importance. In general way odd
corners are to be avoided, and the
more open the position the better.
A very good formation for the pool
would be that of a rough circle. Six
feet is a suitable measurement for the
diameter of the pond, which should be
Dug out in the form of a rough basin.
The greatest depth must be in the cen
ter of the pool. and the sides should
sink fairly abruptly. In pool Of this
size it is desirable to have as much
deep water as possible, so that there
will be good accommodation for water
lilies. The deepest part Of the poo!
should not be less than two feet siz
inches and might be little more.
After the digging out Of the basin
one of the first steps is to make sure
that the soil is pressed down very
firmly in the bottom.
The question of lining the basin now
arises. Of course there is no doubt
that the ideal way is to spread over
the whole of the floor a layer Of con-
crete. This substance is formed by
mixing moderate sized stones with &C.
ment, and the making Of it is not be-
yond the average amateur The con-
crete is spread over the bottom of the
basin and should not be less than three
inches in thickness.

How to Arrange For Early Breakfast.


Many women are called upon to have
early breakfast, and some fine it quite
a hardship. To relieve this hardship,
said an accomplished housekeeper, l
have adopted the following plan: Be
fore retiring at night I set my table,
prepare the fruit and place it in a cool
place, roll my butter balls and put on
ice. If am to have a cooked cereal
put it to soak In a double boiler,
which needs only to be put over the
fire first thing on coming into the
kitchen in the morning; if a cereal
only to be crisped I measure it into a
pan ready to be run into the oven.
I measure my coffee and put it in the
pot ready for the water. If I am to
have hot biscuits or waffles or buck
wheat cakes I measure the -four and
all ingredients and have it ready to
mix with the milk, or If 1 am to have
toast I slice the bread ready for the
toaster. If am to have breakfast ba-
con have it sliced and ready for the
spider, or If there are to be croquettes
mold them and have them ready to
be Drowned. Thus I have my break
fast ready in twenty or twenty-five
minutes after entering the kitchen in
the morning
