OLD RAINcOATS.

Have you ever thought of a way to make use of old rain coats? They make splendid waterproof covers and water proof covers can be used for various purposes. Such cover can usually be made from the back breadth of the coat. Cut from the back breadth out from hem to neck and bind the piece thus cut with a bias gold or tape, and, behold, a very useful article is com plete. A larger, though less trim looking, cover can be made by cut ting the bottom of the coat off just below the arInholes-if one doesn't object to the seams. The buttons can be stripped off and the buttonholes dis posed of and the cover bound as in the back breadth Waterproof covers are just the things for rainy nights, when one wants the bedroom windows open Place "raincoat cover" on the window sill, with the overhanging edge protecting the wall paper beneath the sill, and there will be no need to shut out the fresh air on account of the rain.
 la1ndress can use an old rain coat to advantage for aprons, as the water cannot penetrate them.

 He was formerly on the Storer farm at East Great Plain. Mr Trowbridge mentioned the fact that he endorsed the policy of former Ambassador Will son, who has saved all our lives after the ten day bombardment of Mexico City, recognizing Huerta in the in terim.

GOOD WORDS FROM MA.

Dear Sisters: Now that the time for good resolutions is here it brings to mind something I heard in the sos The best way to get along is never to hear or see anything" thought it a good motto to keep in that it is true.
 A good many who would not know ingly injure another by bit of gossip repeated will if not watchful find themselves saying something which may seem innocent enough at the time, but if the same were said of them they would be very indignant There are very few of whom noth- ing good can be said, and if there is nothing it had best be left unsafd. We all have enough to keep us busy if we tend faithfully to our own busi- ness.
 For those who can the afternoon nap is a great nerve medicine. Re- solve to let some work go and try it. A good many of us have clothing in attics that should be looked up and given to some one where most need ed.
 out for the birds, a piece of suet tied to a tree limb is enjoyed by them.

 I think Samantha must ffev a purity durned smart minister by the way she sex he talks. Emmy one who sets out to be iellyfish on dry land will find he's too thin to do bizness, by heck. A jellyf1sh on shore don't amount to any more'n sope bubble and VIII evapurate about as quick,
 Sermantha's remarks on thet ven tilated waste what was rite in front on her made me laff; an takes no excepshuns to her remarks on intox- created naince pies; but when she sed to the Soshal Korner Systers we culd all think plenty thotless things that all the men folks do, 'cept Josiah, I thot she'd better kept stiH
 I wonder if Sermantha hoIlers to Josiah every dnrn time he goes to do chores, take care of yersef or yer, Il catch cold and I shell hev to nuss yer, and nusses cost $21 a week neouwi"
 Perhaps she's jess like Sal Sanders who warns Silas 20 times a day to look out and not catch the peekneWHaony and the children not to catch the diptheree or nuthin, becaz funerais cost too much now to indulge 1n.

 All these toTaking women would say except Josiah, fur everyone on em think the man they blow up in I,11- vate should be an excepshun when they fork for the benefit of others.
 Sernlantha's letters allus pleze me, so I was supprized when she sed we feIIers were all thotless 'cept Joslah, not even 'cepting her pastor; but ser -,,antha may he shI1re I won't fergit Daniel-I cant fergit him.

TACT.

ACd.
 Dear Editor and Social Cornerites: The thoughts expressed by Practical Pru in her last letter, that we are a banpy family. because we are busy family are very true. Those who need help know that they are more sure to get it from some one who IS as busy as themselves, than those who appar- entity have but. little to do
 I am going to write nttie apoul what a blessing it is to have the talent of tact It makes so much dlHerence sometimes how or what we say or what we do that it seems to me that Tact is a most excellent trait Of character. To illustrate:
 Two men, both church going men, wanted to influence a man who nad grown lax in church attendance, ana they each wanted to get the man to change his habits and go to church again. Unknown to each other, they had resolved one Sabbath morning 10 make an effort to get him to go 10 chudeh with them that day One or them met the man he was looking for and. hoping to influence for good, ac- costed him with this sa1utation:
 Why don't you go to church now, as you used to ?"
 The other replied that he did not know as it was any of his business
 The first said he ought to be asaaTa- :
  added. "Comel Get in and l will carry you right there today.
 The absentee remarked: Not much! You will now or ever; ana please mind your own business
 The church going men whipped up ihs horse and left him.
 A few minutes after the other one who wanted to help him came along in his carriage on the way to church. He stopped and was very glad to see him, shook hands with him and said:
 T was thinking how lonesome it was going to church alone. My family was sick, so that there was no one to go with me today. I am so glad to have your company Get right in and we can have a nice chat as we go along
 They went to church together, but there was no nagging or reproaches uttered, but words of love and en- coura cement
 Each of these two men wanted to do good, but the first one lacted Tact. It is a trait that can be cultivated if we will consider how we would like to have others speak, or do to us, it will help us to say or do the right thing at the proper time in love. AUNT ESTHER.
