The Heart Lived In.

Faber has said, "A mans heart gets cold if he does not keep it warm by living in it. Love to others is not a matter of mere outtiowing impulse. It must be purposeful and steadfast if there is to be real warmth in it. Only the heart that is lived in and used draws others close to it's hearth fire, Selected.

 the memory of the most of us it seems as if the Christian nations have always been protesting against Armenian buteheries by the Turks
 It is singular land, that in which the Turks are putting so many men, women and children to the sword It is land so old reaching so far back into the morning mists of history that the earliest legends of the human race point to it as the birthplace of man kind. There rise the headwaters of the River Euphrates, which flows on through the Garden of Eden Mount Ararat lifts it's sublime head above the plain of those massacres with the same placid oblivion to human cries and bangs that it showed when Noah's Ark rested there.
 The very village founded by Noah and his family when they emerged from the Ark is yet there, the oldest inhabited town in the world.
 The Armenian is the oldest branch of Aryan stock on this earth. They trace their descent back to Japhet, grandson of Noah. That may or may not be true, but certain it is that from that land in the shadow of Ar arat, somewhere in the region now generally designated as Armenia, the human race first began that process of migration and development that has led to the peopling of every corner of the earth.

THE TOAST.

Fill, fill your glasses. gentlemen
 And let the toast go round, To Woman, darling woman,
 Wherever she is found Without her, even the fairest spot
 On earth is dark and drear; But with her, stormy winter seems
 The summer of the year. When Eve went out of Paradise,
 Had Adam stayed behind, To him no longer seat of bliss,
 If he were of my mind; With her for shis companion,
 The wilderness was bright, And every dim and desert spot
 Endued with Eden-light Worlds have been lost. so poets sing,
 By woman's artful wiles; But who would wish to own world
 Without her sunny smiles? Better to have the smallest house
 where ladies are aDOut, Than all the palaces of kings And emperors without Then drink with fervent hearts and
 souls
 The toast that I propose; To Woman. woman everywhere,
 Creations sweetest rose But chiefly those whom we love best, Yes, dearer than our lives Our mothers, sister, daughters,
 friends,
 Our sweethearts and, our wives.

THE RAG RUG.

Somehow {. bathroom rug is a more or less unsatisfactory prOpo sition. It is very likely because water will splash upon it and damp towels and unslippered feet insist up on seeking it's soft surface. And so from sheer sanitary necessity, the bathroom rug must be washable; and from sheer contrariness wash able rug will slip and wriggle-a' least nine out of ten do.
 But there is one kind that is more quietly inclined than most because it is heavier-the old rag rug of our grandmothers' days. Cut an oval from some heavy washable material the size you desire the rug when finished. Denim would answer the purpose. Then from strips of some heavy. soft. washable goods make an even braid, being careful to fold in the rough edges neatly while plating the strips.
 The braid may be as wide or as narrow as you wish, and the strips cut accordingly If the rug Is to be blue and white, have one strip of white and two of blue so that the rug will not show the soil SO easily Do not have the strips too long,

BOX FOR STOOLS.

A capital way in which spools of cotton may be arranged in small cardboard box, so that the thread can be drawn off without either re moving the reels or even lifting the lid of the box, was observed not long ago. Four spools were in the particular receptacle seen. but a larger number could, of course, be arranged in the same manner in a box of suitable size.
 To keep the spools in their places little cardboard division is fitted down in the center of the box through which the cotton may be drawn off as it is required It is a good plan to write above each slit the name of the cotton running through it. so that the choice ol any particular thread can be made at glance without opening the hOy

Concerning Deafness

A medical journal recently made the amazing statement that one-third of all adults were more or less deaf. The same article stated that this deafness is often avoidable, be- ing due to neglect.
 In childhood, throat and nose troubles, which are the cause of most ear troubles, are common. There throat and nose troubles might be cured easily. but often are considered so insignificant that they are neglected. As a result, chron- ic condition is established which may result in deafness in later life
 A common cause of deafness il childhood is an inflammation of the ear re-acting from a simple cold. Earache is very common in chil- dren and may be or may not be q symptoms of a serious nature. Nine earaches out of ten are due to cold in the head. The pain frequently COIltS OH luC child awakens in the night crying loudly. A child of year or more will put his hand to his ear, and O in dicate the seat of the pain, but small baby will simply continue to cry loudly. The only way to locate the pain in this case is by elimina- tion of other disorders. If unre- lieved, an earache may continue for several hours or even days. When no reason is apparent for the cry ing the baby is unjustly accused of being just cross. Doubtless many babies suffer from an unsuspected earache.
 For a simple earache due to cold the best remedy is heat in some form. Often the application of a hot water bag over the ear will be all that is necessary. In other cases it may be sufficient to put one or two drops of warm oil or glycerine into the ear and then apply the hot water bag. If the earache does not yield to these simple remedies. it is best to consult physician. Any discharge from the ear calls

Mustard is the nearest approach to a universal cure-all. Few pains will not give way before mustard plaster and a wide range of inter- nal inflammations, from colds and other causes, may be stopped by it's timely application. It is the first and best resort in threatened pneu- monia, congestion of the lungs or determined colds on the chest
 Hot milk heated to as high 2 temperature as it can be drunk, is a most refreshing stimulant in cases of cold or over-fatigue. It's action is very quick and grateful It gives real strength, as well as acting as fillip.

for prompt and intelligent treatment. It is best to consult physicion as early as possible.
 Quite frequently adults complain of roaring or rumbling sound ir their ears. In many instances this is due to some hardened wax which has become loosened from the drum and so affords small air space between it and the drum. Every slight movement of this wax. by compressing the air, causes roaring sound in the ear
 A great many cases of partial deafness in adults are due to i'm pacted wax This does not necessar- fly mean that the person is no- cleanly, for the wax becomes .nl- pacted on the drum out of reach of the ordinary wash cloth.
 A case in point is that of a young woman who for two years complained of increasing deafness. She was very foolishly afraid to consult a physician for fear of possi- ble vigorous treatment. When she had become almost totally deaf she became acquainted with a graduate nurse, who suggested the possibility of wax being the cause. She washed the ear out several times with a small force pump, using warm water. and succeeded in removing an as l tonishing amount of hardened wax. Hearing was immediately restored. It is always we'll to let physician or experienced nurse attend to the removal of wax in order to avoid injury to the ear drum.
 The causes of deafness aside from those mentioned are numerous but these are the most common. With the increase of knowledge and new mechanical appliances for treatment. the opportunities for curing former hopeless cases of deafness should in duce everyone who is partially deaf to be persistent in treatment There is no case of deafness entirely hope less unless there has been a destruc- tion of the ear nerve.
