SYMPATHY

1t has been said that we live In di-
rect proportion to the keenness of our
interest in life; that the wider and
broader this interest, the richer and
happier we are; that man is as big
as his sympathies, as small as his
selfishness.
A story is told of two travellers re-
turning from the Swiss mountains.
On being asked the usual question )f
what did you see," one Of them
-yawning made reply,
What have We seen? Not much
Trees. mountains. meadows.
groves and streams
Blue sky and clouds and sunny
gleams,"
The other one, smiling. said the
same,
But with face transfigured and
eyes of flame:
TREES, MOUNTAINS, MEAD
OWS, GROVES AND
STREAMS,
BLUE SKY AND CLOUDS AND
SUNNY CLEANS"
The quality Of sympathy. like that
of mercy. is not strained. The fortu
nate ones are born with a more fiow-
ing and abundant supply of it, but
sympathy responds with loving quick
ness to the slightest cultivation.
Sympathy is like the gracious fiow-
ering plant which gives more richly
when its gifts are taken.
Sympathy is but another name for
love. and 'love is the highest form Of
power that exists"

CHILDREN. DOGS AND CATS.

Editor Social Corner: In reply to
have a good garden with cats and
dogs to assist after their fashion, and
curious children to NEEDLE with the
flowers.
No one can tell me anything aba
the damage cats and dogs do, for
have always had them on the prem
ises and expect them to do some dam
age, although they respond to training
sometimes better than children
manage to interest children in
growing things if they are not more
than three years old, and teach them
when flowers are awake or are going
to sleep tell them their names, and
how much longer they last growing
than they do cut, and one little three
year-old follows me about and points
out the flowers about to cast their
petals and says:
"Dere's one goin' ter sleep. and deres
an udderl"
These little children maine few mis-
takes and will soon learn to treat
plants as tenderly as they do other
pets.
I have had three cats and a dog on
my place with a garden and while
they sometimes tried my patience by
the damage they did, they did not dis
courage me, or make inroads upon
the garden one would not expect

HOW 70 BE Bio OF ANTS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The ant
pest is as persistent as any pest and
how TO be rid of them Is a puzzle TO
many a housewife They cannot be
got rid OF in a day.
The tiny red ant that gets into pan
try or kitchen is perhaps the most
dihdcult TO fight. II builds in or on
the foundation usually and not out
side in the ground Hence it is diff
cult to find or destroy the nest For
these saturate a sponge in sweetened
water and put 1t where the ants run
From time TO time pick up the sponge
and plunge 1t In hot water to kill the
ants that have collected there. Sat
urate sponge in sweetened water and
repeat Keep this up several days and
you'll get nearly all OF them and will
so weaken the colony the young will
perish.
Cloves. ground or whole, sprinkIed
on pantry shelves or where ants run
in the house are said to drive them
away. Oil Of lemon. spr1nkled about.
Is said to have the same effect
The writer last week had a four
day tussle with red ants They were
winged and were about one-fourth
inch long. They had a nest under
the porch. Boiling water was the
cheapest and handiest thing the house
afforded So. at SHUTDOWN each day,
several buckets of boiling water were
chloride of lime was sprinkled over
the nest and boiling water then pour
ed on. That finished the colony. But
the first two applications of water
didn't seem to diminish the ant num-
bers very much.
Black and other large ants that
build nests out of doors may be OBJ
served and patiently followed up. Keep
sharp eye upon them and trail them
to their nest, which may be DESTROYED
with hot water, kerosene or gasoline.
Or the ant. colonies may be destroyed
by pouring an ounce OF carbon bisul-
phide in a saucer. setting it down
quickly beside the nest entrance and
covering all with a tight tub. Throw
dirt around the edges of the tub to
make 1t tight. Do not let sparks, pipe
or any kind of fire near the carbon
bisulphide. It is highly infammable
and will explode. The liquid carbon
bfsulphide evaporates quickly and its
gas, being heavier than air. penetrates
the nest and asphyxiates the insects.
1t takes time and persistence to
make an end of them, but their alb
sence gives a sense of satisfaction
which fully compensates anyone for
all the trouble taken to annihilate
them.

HOT WATER.

Editor OF the Social Corner: There
may be a few housewives of years of
experience who do not know as much
about water as they should from their
daily use of it for years.
We have in use in the kitchen cold
water and warm water, hot water and
burnt water, to say nothing of dead
water. More dead water is used in
the kitchen than should be and when
hot water is prescribed by a doctor
burnt or dead water is used instead of
live hot water.
Water that has been standing hot in
the tea-kettle for hours, and, perhaps,
been reboiled. does not make good tea
or coffee. or palatable drink of any
kind.
Tea and coffee to be first class should
be brewed in fresh water that has
never been boiled before. and because
convenient stale hot water that may
have been standing long on the fire is
used the flavor is not what it should
be.
Uncertain water may be boiled to
maze it a safe drink. but overlooked or
burnt water is not much more whole
some than other kinds Of burnt food.
Not half attention enough is given
to tho water We use in the kitchen =
Water than has been once boiled and
cooled does not come to a boil the Sec
ond time as quickly as fresh water
from the faucet and takes more heat
to prepare 1t.
Use live hot water II you want the
havors perfect.

Take four just before a meal and five

and wash down with full glass of
cold water. For this disfiguring labial
affection there is no remedy better
than bathing several times a day with
a boric acid solution-one teaspoonful
Of boric acid dissolved in a tumbler-
full of hot water. At bedtime the
crusts may be busted with dry boric
acid. Children having cold sores are
disposed to pick the lip with the
hngers-this procedure may infect
the sore. 1t always delays the heal
ing. To protect the lips from being
picked children should wear mittens
to bed
For the relief of those persistent
