To keep the feet warm in cold weather cut a sob* to the size of the boot or shoe in thick brown paper und wear it. Nervous people ought to cultivate the practice of sleeping after the noon meal.

When walking in the dark in un- accustomed i)lai;es alway.^ raise the arm to about tlie level of the nose and keep it bent there t,i protect tho fai;e and chest. Tap rugs lightly ou I he back to dislodge dirt and gravel. Then sweep the iliist off tho face ivilh dfiiui) suwdu.st. Do not beat them if j'ou value their wholeness.

In sewing on the inaohine, re- member that .a loosely sewed seam is more servicJ-ahle than one that is too tight. Tho latter will Knap and tear at the slightest provoca- tiiHi. SL!-ubhiiig brushes will last twice as long if they are put to dry with the hri.stle.'j downwards. If turned lie other way the water soaks into the wood and rota tben>. Never put soda in tho water in which you wash china that has any gilding on it. Soda injures the gild- ing. Instead i'"s snap, vi'hich an- swers just aa well, and has no ill effects. When white paint does not re- quire actual washing a cloth should never be used to rub tho surface, as this only succeeds in rubbing in the dust and making a pennaneut mark. An easy way to clean glass globes when ono is in a hurry is to hold them over steam from akettle, etc., when they may be polished at once. This does them quickly and well. The quickest method to remove flour from bosins after making pud- dings or cakes is to wash them in clear, cold water. Warm water hardens the flour, and makes it difficult to remove. Light carpets can be cleaned with a mixture of coarse salt and oat- meal. Put the mixtui'o on plenti- fully, and scrub it with a clean, dry scrubbing bru.sh. Afterwards sweep tho carpet clean. When putting away knives clean them and lay them in a box in which a layer of dry sawdust has been put, then completely cover them with more sawdust. When required for use they only need dusting. Iron holders made from a piece of asbestos tho desired size and covered with drilling or heavy un- bleached muslin are light and keep out heat. There should bo a ring or loop sewed to ono corner to hang the holder. Japanned ware should be washed with a sponge dampened in warm water and dried immediately with a soft cloth. Obstinate spots can quickly be removed by rubbing thom with a woollen cloth dijiped in a little sweet oil. A German woman who suffered from neuralgia was cured by fast- ing, and hence in her opinion it is food ond not money that is the root of all evil. Medical authorities are alicady countcnano'ng hunger cures foi* different maladies. Many people make a great mis- lake in thinking it necessary to keep their piano religiously closed when it is not being played on. On tho contrary, it ought to be always left open, unless, of ciiurso, the piano is not to bo used fur some weeks. Never amuse your children at the expense of other people; never al- low your children to ridicule other people. Neglect this advice and the time will assuredly como when those children will amuse them- selves with your foibles and ridicule your authority. When tho kitchen range looks rather bad nnd one has not tho time to bla<;k it wet a cloth in par- ttflin and rub on some soap. Go over the .stove with this, then rub with the usual blacking rag until it is rather shiny, and finish off with a newspaper. If the meal were eaten slowly, without pre -occupation of tue min<l, and tho stomach allowed at least half an hour's chance to get its work well undertaken before the previous force is turned in another direction, jiatients suffering from dyspepsia would bo comparatively few. WISDOM LKT LOOSi:. Take things as they are, and pro- ceed to make them better. Women aro as true as steel, and often as highly temperrd. There is only evil in the good- ness that makes other evil. If you have .a mouth, don t ask other people to blow for you. It is hard to quarrel with some people, but harder still not to. If you ar(5 in a hole, make your- relf a ladder, and then climb out. Some people claim that genius is inspiration ; others, persjii ration. The man who is looking for trou- ble usually ond.s by seeing stars. To him th'it hath shall be given. F.verybody has something to begin with. .\ woman never forgives a m.in for forgiving her for not forgiving hiui. It is awfully di.'-cou raging that f I lends cant be, candid without say- | iiig unpleasant things. i The beiit way to get the help of heaven is to give some other fellow a little help. You will never lead a boy into your fn.ith until you have much faith in him. When you are right you can af- ford to keep your temper, and when you are wrong you ean'l af- ford to lose it. NOTHLNG LIKK IT. Two railway travellers got into conversation, and one of them be- gan to e.viwliutu on the advantages of fresh air. ".\h," he said, "there's nothing like having yt>ur bedroom doors land your windows open at night -- nothing like it. (Jieai advantage ;I have found it many a time.' "Ah," said the otliBr gentleman, "I suppose you're a medical jnaii, and speak from e.vperienoe," "No," said the first m«n, as he lifted his bag nnd prepared to alight at a .station. 'I'm not a me- dical man. Between ourselves, in strict confidence, I'm a burglar," and he opened the carriage doot and vanished. THE S. S. LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, ¥£,B. 13. Les-son Til. Worldlincss and Trust, Matt. 6. 1»'34. Golden Text, Blatt. 6. 33. Verse 19. Lay not up . . . treas- ures upon . . . earthâ€"Not a prohi- bit'on against accumulating wealth, but against a selfish accumulation. Jcsus's teaching was that to make material things the chief aim of life was to make them a curse. Riches may be made ministers of good, but greed and covetousness are enemies of the higher life. Moth â€" In Oriental countries a large part of the treasure consists of costly silken and woolen fabrics. Tho moth feeds on these, and out of tho material builds a portable house in which to lay its eggs. These ravages of tho moth Jesus classes with the corroding influence of rnst â€" due to chemical action of metals, which were often hidden in tho ground (Matt. 13. 44)â€" as illustra- tions of the distintegration await- injr all earthly things. Break throughâ€" Literally, "dig through," the walls of the houses often being built of clay. 20. Lay up . . . treasures in hea- ven â€" A man can do this by being rich toward God (compare Luke 12. 13 21), by doing the things which win the divine approval, living for God and for others. Nothing can rob a roan of his everlasting en- joyment of such wealth as that, his heavenly treasures are his forever. 21. A man's treasure is the thing he holds dearest, that upon which hi-, heart is set, whether the world's wealth and the pleasures of the pre- sent, or the hope of heaven and the unfading favor of God. 22. If thine eye be single â€" This is Christ's figure for spiritual dis- cernment, or conscience. As, when the eye is in a normal state, every object appears as it is, so the man of exclusively spiritual purpose has a clear outlook upon life and duty. 23. If thine eye be evilâ€" Sin is like defects in the eyesight, in that it clouds spiritual vision. If consci- ence become entirely dominated by evil, spiritual night will follow, and the man will not know wether he is going right or wrongâ€" may even think he is right when he is all wrong. There can bo no greater darkncs.s than that. 21. No man can serve two mas- ters â€" It is impossible to divide one's interests between earthly and heavenly. The word.i of Jesus are emphatic : To love the world i.s ipso facto, to hate God. Conversely, if you love God, you must do it with a passion which excludes mammon (worldly-miudedness, especially the port which espressos itself in love ot material goods). 2."). Thereforeâ€" The instructions which fiillow are a logical outcome of those which precede. Be not anxious for your life - Not intended to eliminate prudence and forethought. It is unchristian to brood and worry over tho pos- sibilities of the morrow. The whole of life is not iu what we eat and drink .and put on. Jesus has already bidden his di.sciple.s to pray for the daily necessities ->f food and rai- ment (verse 11, this chapter), and has promised that their Father will reward them for their sincerity. Now he vomilids them that it is in- consistent for them to pray and distrust at the samo time. If there is any anxiety at all about life, it i,4 to be not for the.se things, but for tho deeper ones mentioned in verse TO. 2(i. Behold the birdsâ€" Jesus's in- timate ac(|uaintanee with all the natural life about him is one of the flttrnctive studies of the Gospels, They sow not â€"Their heavenly Father feedeth thoni, not because of their failure to work. Hore is fill invitation to a life of listlessness. Birds are not qualifie<l to sow and reap. But men are. And God provides for men by prospering their work. P.arn.s â€" Sometimes buildings »l.>ove ground, but oftener cistern- likn pits, .\re not ye of much more value Suggesting the unreasonableness of an.viely.

According to tho Christian con- ception of human nature every man is a king, deriving his prerogatives directly from tho Almighty Himself. Like a king ho is expected to rule his limited domain in harmony with, the laws which God has laid for the universe, as each separate munici- pality frames its ordinonces in ac- cordance with the supreme law of the land. Because we are lungs the quality proper to sovereignty should ch.ar- acterize us ; namely, self-control, home rule. We should have as ab- solute control over our ambitions, aims, passions and desires as the engine driver over his locomotive, the general over an army, a cap- tain over a battleship. Marvelous a-3 a battleship is in its construc- tion, intricate as it is in all it.s parts and adapted to its various duties, it is not so wonderful as the hu- man organism. The body is a ma- chine composed of myriad minute parts, each performing certain de- finite functions, possessing as no other organism does, THE POWER OF REPAIR. Moreover, it is a much more val- uable mechanism commercially than is generally appreciated. If a man's income is $2,000 annually this is 5 per cent, on $40,000. If that sum were put into your hands would you not think that you ought to exercise considerable care in its investment and use? But when we consider that this physical organ- i.':iu is the seat of all our hoi>os and j.'iys and fears ; more than that, that it is tho temple of the in-dwelling soul, freighted thereby with eternal interests of weal or woe, how preci- ou"; does its well-being become , how important its guidance and control ! How shall we gain control of our- solvo.^? Something is gained when we realize the extreme importance of self-control and how fraught with danger the lack of it is here and hereafter. Something can be done by direct resolve, by the di- rect exercise of the viill. Take com- mand ot yourself. Be a king in your own realm, a limited one, pcrhap.9, but yours to rule. The human will is the grandest Iiower in the universe outside of God Himself. There is little that can Btand before a determined soul's resolve, "I will." Such a decision has been tho turning poin» of many a character. TRUE SELF-CONTROL is. however, called by Sb. Paul "» fruit of the spirit," fur so "tem- pr ranee" i.s to be translated. Tru« self-control conies by Bubmitting oursalvos to God, putting ourselves in the grasp of nnd in allegiance with "power that is stronger than we are." Such was th.T method of the Master. Becau.se ho lived in closest communion with the Father, His life was the embodiment of all •spiritual and heavenly grace. Wo ran all follow His method. Aa Lowell say.s : "We are all tall enough to reach God's hand and angels .ire no taller." By living in coiumunion with God as Jesn.s did, we shall be able like Him to stilt the voice of anger, check the liok spirit of iH'veuge, cool the fevered torrent of ambition, curb tho threatening asce'idcncy of passion, a.s a master curbs his dog â€" attain, in short, true .self-control. REV. DE WITT L. PELTON. scribe. At any rate, it is without thought or conscious effort on the part of the lilies them.selves. Spin â€" One of the earliest occnpa- ticns, especially of women, was the spinning of g.-imients out of wool and flax, on the hand-spindle. 29. Solomon in all his glory â€" The glory of Shmion was as proverbial as his wisdom, his wealth, and his fame. It was not, however, glory of character, but of lavi.sh display and superficial spender. 30. Grassâ€" Probably a general term, covering many of the common field flowers. These were used for fuel, in the absence of wood, in dis- triot.s where wood was scarce. The oven into which the grass v/as cast was a hole of varying size, accord- ing to the need, dug in the ground and lined with cement. Little Faith â€" .An expression often on the lips of Jesus. All liunia>i faith is small in comt>arisou to the wealth of (iod's provision. 31. Be not therefore an.xious â€" Summing up. This, of course, is a principle of life, not u preoepL to be followed literally. An effort- h'ss, haiid-to-mouth existence can- not be in Jesus' mind. 32. After all these things do the Gentiles .seek .suggests that anxiety is heathenish, as well as unreason- able and unavnilim;. Your heavenly l''ather knowetli- This is Jesus's broad answer to the fundamental (|iiestion as lo the means of hum.in sustenance. Ho who provides f.«i' bird.s and flow- ers needs only to know the needs of his highest creatures in ordi r to provide for them. 3it. This is the secret of an un- troubled heart. The man who makes God's kingdom and righte- ousness hi.s highest and foremost concern has re.soonded to the su- premo call of bis being. God can do nothing less for such a innri than to add to these nobler treasures all things needful. 34. Each day bvings its own evil, and it is made no less by brooding over what it may be. We mu.st do our best to-day, leaving the mor- row in God's keeping to order as h.! will. SPEAK THE KIND WORD NOW. Siieak the kind word now. No better time will come; Marble may be the brow. Those lips, tomorrow dumb. Ni '^ound may penetiuto Those ears that you would thrill ; To prai.se don't hciitate, liemain no longer still. Put off no kindly Avord I'litil another day.
