Wants Irish Poems.

''I want to thank you and all the kind friends who have responded so generous ly to my appeal for silk pieces for an old shut in lady to finish quilt. She Is so happy over the pretty silks she has re- ceived! l have tried to thank each giver individually, but for fear that I have overlooked any l wish to express my gratitude here through your column. Now, on my own behalf. wil, you please ask if some one has copy of Amiels Journal" translated by Mrs. Humphry Ward? l would also like any old poems of Scotch or Irish origin. They would be much appreciated by one whose days are spent in work, but who loves to read a good book at night and is. alas! unable to indulge in such luxury.
 "MRs. J. M H."
 Let me myself thank the givers who have sent the silk pieces in such liberal measure. Perhaps it is because my own days are gliding swiftly by that I feel a peculiar interest in the happiness of old people. Anything that makes their days brighter brings me joy. hope also that the copy of Amel's Journal" and the poems may be forthcoming for the bene- fit of Mrs. J. M. H. She deserves some thing for the trouble she has taken about the quilt of her shut in friend.

The flowers that mark sad day in the family, the word .ohieh shows that the long passed date of sor- row Is not forgotten by her any more than the sufferer for whom the best of fife ended then may seem trifie to the incif- ferent looker-on, but to the one remem- bered by her thought she is loved and cherished to degree whieh might ap- pear disproportionate except to those who have also loved and lost and understood the deep value of the recollection by oth- CTS of the ones who have gone.
 Put the matter to a practical toss in your own life. That is the way to prove the worth or the uselessncss of any action. When the day comes around that marks the departure of the parent or the child whose passing darkened the sun for you, does it mean nothing to have a word or a blossom from some one who has not for gotten the one whose memory you hold dear? When your birthday arrives is it an unconsidered trifie to you that a note comes congratulating you on another milestone and telling you that the writer finds the world better and brighter be- cause you are in ite After you have done your best to make a guests visit happy is it not gratifying to have a line of ap- preciation of your efforts and am assur- ance that the stay in your home had been happy?
 Do we call an these acts of courtesy nothings?" f so they are the nothings that make up life and whose absence renders existence harder and more la- borious than 1t would otherwise be.

THE THINGS THAT MAKE UP LIFE.

~ OMETIMES I think that the small
 est things in life are almost more
 important than the large things.
 Perhaps it is because we meet the
 trifles every day that they have such power over us; perhaps this Is also the reason why we make light of them un- til they are called to our attention. It was a very insignificant occurrence or set of occurrences which turned my mind 10 this line of thought recently. Possibly some of the Cornerites may think the events were too minute to notice
 The first one was to me a novel expe- rience. l was walking with a lad along the street of country town when we were joined by friend of his, a boy of perhaps twenty-four or five.
 Have a cigarette, old man. he said, after We had exchanged salutations, of fering cigaret case as he spoke. My escort declined, but the other, taking out a cigaret, lighted it and calmly smoked It while we continued our promenade.
 This is the first time in my life have ever had a man smoke in my presence without first asking my permission" I remarked afterwards. "I have reached advanced years and have associated with many smoking men, but up to now every one of them has shown the courtesy of inquiring if l objected to his smoking in my presence"
 7 He didn't mean anything some one defended the culprit. !" It probably seemed such little thing to him that he never thought it worth while to ask you'
 That sort of thing is what shows the difference between a gentleman and the opposite" l commented.
 After l had begun refecting upon the power of such trifies to make or mar com fort a tide of them seemed to set in my direction. Possibly my eyes were opened to occurrences I had never observed be- fore. Some of them had to do with the manners of young men and young girls With whom l was brought into contact l began to notice how rarely a youth thought to draw back the chair of the woman who sat next to him al table; how often he remained seated when ladies en- tered the room. The girls showed the same lack of difference to their elders. How lit- tie consideration they displayed for the wishes or the opinions of older persons when these differed from theirs.

Cainip and Kittens.

Some one asks for catnip for a sick kitten. The green cstnip is not found in this part of the country, but our cats like the kind which can be bought at a good seed store Try it and may some of it help that sick kitten. I wish some of the members knew of good homes for cats. We have almost more than we can take care of and would gladly give them away if knew they would be well taken care of. c. T. J."
 May l ask that no one writes to me and asks for the address of this corre- spondent? confidently expect a rush of letters begging for one of the cats she offers and I would be most happy to supply them with the chance of se-
