17‘ H" t k K How my of us. at tunes, look back over pasflexperiences in our lives with regret thinking of how we might have done differently and of the possible pleasures we may have missed. And then. how eagerly we look forwarct to the future and think that when it has become the present we will grasp every sit nation as it presents itself and enjoy life to its full extent.

Mt how quick we are to find fault when things do not run along as smoothly as we think they should. How strange it is usually that nothing but wards of praise are heard» of loved ones who but left us; why not give them more of that pgaise while they are» hero and can appreciate it? How much brighter we might make this life I! we only would. When two or more persons get to- gether in a sick room they are so apt to forget that the conversation which to them is amusing may be simply agony to the sufferer who is too weak to hear the sound of continual talk, or the strain of trying to attend to it. Quiet means that the invalid should so. only one person at a time at long intervals besides the nurse, and that, some one who can be trusted not to introduce exciting topics, or in any way overtax the attention or strength of the patient. In no way are doctor's orders so often disregarded as when he enjoins that a patient shall be kept quiet. It usually pays far better to keep garments in repair even until they are worn out all over than it does to buy new ones. No refined woman should be willing under any circumstances to wear a gown with a rent in it or go about with an untidy braid on the edge or dragging facing. It is not pos- sible to {present a heat appearance without doing considerable mending and unless one can get. a new dress frequently they must. mend. Those who are careful about keeping their garments mended, although they may only have. a few gowns, usually present neater appearance than those who ‘ ve double as many and do not care for them so systematically. A constant supply of fresh air, even : in very cold weather. is so important in the prevention and cure of diseases that no effort should be spared to see that. sleeping rooms are well supplied with the free gift of God. \Vhen there is no adequate system of ventilation provided, the following method is at once simple, economical and does not create a draught. Raise the lower sash of the window an dplace in front of the opening at the bottom a piece of wood any desired width. This leaves e corresponding space between the meeting sashes in the middle of the window through which the current of air is directed upward toward the ceiling. While this may involve the use of an extra amount of fuel, it is a wise precaution, especially in the eivkroom, where the exhalations from the sick body are both unpleasant and Inwholesome. There are some. housewives who have such strong instincts of cleanli- ness that they spend all their time, and use up all their strength, in superflu- ous work. They can not seem to un-‘ derstand that certain articles are just as valuable and just as useful after they have become oxidized by expo- sure as they were before, and they even scour the brass on their trunks rnd do other equally as unnecessary tasks. Any mother who has the care of a household and family resting upon her has enoulrh necessary work to do with- out looking around for superfluous work. She should consider that while she is doing this she is neglectinsr some duty that is important. even if it is only the duty of resting. . p CHOICE RECIPE.

The gladiolus can. it is asserted, bel easily grown in pots for window bloom- ing in early fall and winter. A pot deep with broken charcoal or potshreds, these covered with a couple of inches of good soil and an inch of sand. Set the bulbs or bulbs on this sand, and cover with good garden soil to within an inch of the top of the pot. Set the pot in a dark. cool place for ten days or two weeks to root, and when the top starts bring the pot into the light and sun of the window. As the top grows more soil may be added to the pot until full. Water only when dry. and then thoroughly. Give the plant the benefit of all the sun and light possible, fastening it to stakes if necessary. and it will give a profu- sion of beautiful blossoms at a time when flowers are scarce. If the bulbs are potted at intervals of two weeks the season of bloom may be extended far into the winter. Use the giant varieties to obtain the largest and best-marked blossoms.

The history of the pilgrimage over the Ashcroft trail to the gold fields of the far Northwest is a ghastly story of privation and death. Hundreds of those who, with spirits buoyed up with ’ hope, followed the fickle goddess For- tune toward the ice bound creeks at' the borders of the Arctic in search of gold have perished miserably in the trackless North. Many. in a spirit of abandonment after a series of hard- ships which, even when they had been overcome, led only to disappointment. committed suicide; but it is doubtful if, in the history of that desolate trail. any have done so as tragically as did G. E. Richardson, a young English- man. the news of whose death has just been brought out by returning miners. Richardson. worn out in body and mind. crawled from a tent in which he had taken refuge one moonlight night toward the beginning of last month. and wandered to the outskirts of an Indian burying ground, ten miles out of Glenora, where he went to a raised platform on which was lying the skele- ton of a chief. Climbing to the plat- form he blew out his brains and fell dead across the bleached skeleton of the chief. His body was found by Philip C. Austin. of Nebraska. and his partner. miners. into whose camp Richardson had crawled not long be- fore his suicide. Together Austin and his partner near by for the body. Austin tells the story of the terrible experiences of Two days before doing away with himself Richardson had crawled into camp from the trail, his clothes torn into shreds. his body emaciated. and his face picturing a record of long suf- fering. He staggered into the tent where Austin and his partner wen» preparing their cornmeal, snatched up some bacon which they were cooking. and, dropping into a bed of leaves in the corner, ate ravenously. the man who killed himself. RICHARDSON’S AWFUL JOURNEY. Austin's partner rose with clinched fist to resist the intrusion and the up propriation of the bacon, but before in could reach the man he heard thr stranger sobbing and saw that; he Wins shaking as with an ague. The twt, prospeCtors listened, while between sohs the man begged for food, offering to barter his revolverâ€"all he hadâ€"for something to eat. His craving was satisfied and he was dosed with qui- nine from the little medicine chest and given a place on the bed of dried leaves. For two days Richardson shared the food and bed of the prospectors. and bit by bit he told Austin of his fearful adventures on the trail since, early in the fall of last year, he. with two oth- ers, had startnl out merrily from Ash- croft. They had one pack horse and two “go devils"-â€"Large wheels with the goods strung on either sideâ€"to pack in their supplies. From Ashcroft to Quesnelle. 220 miles of good road. all went well, and the men were in very good spirits. The provisions taken in from Ashcroft had by this time been exhausted, and they reprovisioned at Quesnelle for the trip to Hazleton. which, they were. told, was a thirty days' journey. They took thirty days" provisions, and, as a con- sequence. nearly starved to death. for instead of 250 miles it was 375. The trail, too. was bad, but not. a circumstance to that from Hazeltunto Glenora. This was twice the distance represented to them by the people of .Hazleton. Instead of 350 miles it was 740. Advertisements gave the disâ€" tance from Ashcroft to Glenora as 370 miles, when it was 1.400. The suffer- ings of the three between Hazelton and Glenora were almost beyond endur- anee. After the provisions ran short, which occurred when about half way to Glen- ora from Hazelt.on,. they lived for ten days on a few ounoes of porridge daily, and for five daysâ€"when the pangs of hunger drove them to desperationâ€" they lived on the carcass of their pack horse. which they shot. Thus they worried along. fighting hard against death. until, to make matters worse, the party became separated. and Rich- ardson was left alone with hardly enough food for one meal for an able bodied man. He struggled on. sinking down time after time. and longing for death to release him fromnhis sufferings. __ In ‘ â€" â€"-'°"' one place, for a distance of five miles. he said to Austin. be counted 100 dead horses. and Indians told him of men who had lain down and died, starving to_ dgath rather than eat the half famâ€" In one case Richardson passed (plum through a. great tract of soggy moss, “BL. . with not. a vestige of underbrush. and 01‘ 1‘1" there he ate wads of moss and tried to 63"". chew the branches he found.
