Vines.-A glass receptacle is the
best thing that can be used to grow
vines and slips in, as this allows
the sun to get al their roots.
White Leather.-To clean white
leather bags, belts, ETC., use oxide
of zinc.
Conan easy way to remove
silk form corn is by using a veget-
able brush.
Birds.-If your canary refuses to
take his bath just sprinkle a few
seeds on top of the water, and he
will be drawn to his tub.
Trouble Savers.-A pile of
papers kept in one corner of the
kitchen will save much trouble if
used to set soiled pots on.
Milk.-It is said that if milk is
heated until it is lukewarm and
then suddenly cooled there will be
much more cream.
Peach Stains.-A peach stain is
very difficult to remove. 1t may be
done, however, if these directions
are followed. First wet the stain
thoroughly, then spread cream of
tartar on it. After this wash in the
ordinary way. 1t will probably be
necessary to repeat the process if
the stain is very old.
Frying Eggs.-Put a spoonful of
flour in the pan in which eggs are
to be fried. This will not only
keep them from sticking, but from
breaking as we'll.
Stuffed Eggs.-When eggs are to
be stuffed they should be put in
cold water as soon as they are taken
from the stove. This will keep the
whites in better shape.
Sandwiches.-Sandwiches may be
kept as fresh as when first made i
they are wrapped in a napkin
wrung out in hot water and then
put in a cool place.
Toilet Water.-A simple toilet
water may be made by putting two

water together.

SAYS T~j
Make Others Happy

One of the human fallacies that is not without Its virtue is the
belief that W e need something more than that which we have to be
happy. 1t is this unrest, this seeking for the more perfect thing, that
brings us into such happiness as We may know.
be content but nobody thinks of him as being a creature of happiness
Yet in fancy W e often speak OF the happy birds because happiness
results from action. The peacock knows he is some bird, but the
alligator has a slumbering notion that he is a poor fish. We think OF
the running brook a s happy, but never SO of the stagnant pool
Action must bear the test of sober judgment; we ourselves must
be able to approve our conduct to find happiness.
The happy life goes from service to service, not from idle pleasure
to idle pleasure.
He who sets out to find happiness is pretty sure to fail. 1t is
not a pursuit in itself. 1t comes as the pay for service.
The most idle and in the end the most miserable life is the life
that seeks nothing but pleasure. Pleasure is good only a a recreation.
Happiness is S o unconsciously a part of the truly busy life that
we often fail to recognize it until it Is gone One seldom hears this
is a happy time; one often hears those were happy times" We are
more prone to remember happiness than to prize it when re have It.
He finds most happiness who labors most to make others happy.
1t is others who bring us our happiness. We are the authors of our
happiness only a S w e may make others wish us to be happy.
Only through surmounting difficulties, through triumph over dis
appointment and defeat. through making the wrong right, do we come
to know happiness. Without the biting frost we would never know
the glory of the warmth of the summer sun.
