SOMETHING EACH DAY.
Something each day—a smile,
It is not much to give,
And the litle gifts of life
Make swees the days we live.
The world has weary hearts
That we cen bless and cheer,
And a smile for every day
Makes sunshine all the year,
Bomething each day—a word,
We cannot know ils power;
It grows in fruitfuiness
As grows the gentle flower,
What comfort it may bring
Where all is dark and drear!
Fora kind word every day
Makes pleasant all the year,
Something each day—a thought,
Unselfish, good and true,
That aids another's need
While we our way pursue;
That seeks to lighten hearts,
That leads to pathways clear;
For a helpful thought each day
Makes happy all the year.
Something each day—a deed
Of kindness and of good
To link in closer Yonds
All human brotherhood.
Oh, thus the heavealy will
We all may do while here;
For a good deed every day
Makes blessed all the year,
-By George Cooper.
THE EXPECTED GUESTS,
“Ob dear!’ sighed Mrs, Pierce.
“What is is, mother?’ asked Miss Ange-
lina and Mise Angelica, in solicitous duo.
“A lester from Mrs. Armstrong. She
writes that she is visiting her married
daughter in Brooklyn, and would like to
see us.”’
“Well? You’d like to see her, wouldn't

New York. It will be rather pleasant for
you, won’s it, mother, to have a listle visit
with her?”
“Oh yes, of conree, hut it is so inoppor-
tane—"’
“We must invite ber to dinner—her and
her daogbter,’’ iuvisted Miss Angelica,
who was the younger aud ruled the lami-
ly.
7 iBar the flat never looked so bad,’ pro-
tested Mrs. Pietce. ‘‘I don’t see how we
oan invite company just now. This parlor
rug ought to be sent 0 a cleaner, and the
floors need to be stained—the ball floor is
dreadfal—and the Sarenpors cover is
threadbare—is simply must be upholstered.
I wouldn’s have Mrs. Armstrong see us
looking #0 shabby—she is an immaculate
housekeeper, and nothing that is ous of
order will escape her eyes. Oh dear, I al-
ways think when the remittance comes
that we will surely be able to save some of
it so we will not bring up at the end of
every quarter without enough money to
meet emergencies. You know, girls, we
have scaicely five dollars in the house, and
the bank account—I daren’s think about
it,—and tbe rent is due—"’
“And the gas bill,”
“And the butcher's.”
“And I baven’s paid Miss Simpson for
making this gown, and it is almoss worn
out—"’
Miss Angelica waved her bands.
“None of these things make aoy differ-
ence. We cannot Slow ouiish uias or
fear to prevent vs from ex proper
hospitality to mother’s old friend. What
day shall we have them over?”
“Couldn't we make it luncheon instead
of dinner?”
“Dear Angel, that is a most excellent
idea.”
“Luncheon would really be better,’
More, Pierce agreed. ‘‘Then they might be
able to get home the same ny
“Luncheon it sball be. Now, mother,

day—that ougbt to be abous right. It

Miss Angelina began with a protest,
“We cau never get painiers here in time

“Ot course not. Furthermore, we have
no money to pay them if we conld. There
are only a few dollars in the bank—not
enough to draw agains, really—and we

“Yes, my dear, and you'll help me."
“Of contee I will—but—it looks so im-

few minutes reappeared in her marketing
costume.

“By no means. We could not possibly

“Did yon mail the inviasion ?"’ asked
Mrs. Pierce.
“I didn’t know it was ready. I'll take

“Go over to Daggett's and see if you can

of upholstery materials, thank goodoess,

In the absence of Miss Angelina Miss
Angelica wielded ber paint-brash swiftly
and deftly, a wide, substantial border
growing rapidly around the rug. Sudden-
y Mrs. Pierce burst into the room.
“The paint, mother! Leok out for the
paing I”
“Ob, gracious ! Oh, I forgos—1"
With a spring she landed in a place of
safety—the middle of the rug—her shoe
soles rich with dark brown paint.

“I'll put down papers. ear m

Have you any turpentine in the house ?"’
‘Not a drop.”
“Of course not. Well, Angelina must
get some as *oon as she comes back. That
will olean the rog, bas is will take us an
bour or so. Here she is now. Don’t take
off your wraps, Angel. Oh, that is lovely !
What a relief to find something that is ex-
sotly righs !”’
“It was a rempant. No more like it
anywhere, the salesman said.”
“We'll cover the davenport to-morrow.
I think I'll have to paint the ball down
each side first, and weocan walk in the
middle until the point dries. Then I'll
reverse the process.”
“And we'll walk on both sides as onoe !"’
exclaimed Miss Angelina, wildly. “That
will be a graceful performance !’
“Perhaps it would be better to paint
fires one side and then the other.”
“Well, rather !"
Mrs. Pierce reappeared with the cbasten-
ed demeanor of one who has not hebaved
with commendable discretion.
“Do yon realize that the seats are almost
ous of two of the dining room chairs? We
heve been nsing only three, you know, but
we shall need all five, and, really, the
other two are not safe.”
““Then be sure togive them to the guests.
It may create a diversion. Meantime, I'll
think about them.”
*‘Just look at this !"” Miss Angslina beld
alols the hest table-cloth, and displayed a
large hole at one side.
“Mouse ”
‘Evidently. And just where we can't
cover is with a centre-piece ora doily or
anvthing.”
There seemed no solution except the
next best table cloth,
In the evening they made a list of what
remained to be done. It included covering
the daveoport and three cushions, cleaving
the silver and glass, sweeping the flat
throughout, and waxiog she floors, wash-
ing the windows, mending the rog in
mother’s bedroom, sewing the lace on Ange-
lina’s drceser cover, polishing the copper
ooffee service, mending the Satsuma jar,
altering the fit of Augelina’s blouse on the
shoulder—
“Oh, I thought we were a fairly neat
and orderly family,” wailed Aovgelina,
‘but when we have to be put on inepeotion
it seems an if we were almost as bad asa
lot of tramps.”
“Nonsense | We're all right. We would
do all of these things, anyway, in time,
but having to do them all at once makes
them seem like an ace’ mulation of disor-
ders.” .
In the morning Miss Aongelica attacked
the davenport-cover fearlessly, avd after
careful measurements cat the material with
the skill and precision of a professional op:
holsterer. As least, vo Mies Angeliva told
her.
The cover was exactly three inches too
short.
Mies Angelioa turued pale.
“How oan it be?" she exclaimed, desper-
ately. “Isien’s ! It can's be!’
Is was,
*‘I think,” she (altered, ‘‘you said it was
a remnant. There is no more like is.”
Mies Angelina nodded.
“Don’t worry, Angel, Remember I

ferent stuff —it can he charged.”
“So expensive !| What can we do with all

“Cover oushions.”
‘‘Iu there anything else at Daggett’s that
you like?”
“*Not a thing; but we can’t for likes

Sanday the Pierce family rested from
their lahors.
Mouday the cleaning process was renew-
ed, and from front to rear, and floors to
ceilings, the Pierce flat was put in immaca
late, shining order.
**How nice it looks !"’ said Mre, Pierce,
surveying it w~ith saticfied eyes. ‘‘Helen
Armstrong would have some trouble to find
anything amiss with it now. Aogel, will
you press the button ? Somebody seems
extremely anxious to ges in, to judge from

Mise Angelica pressed,and a well-dressed

Soaps for Removing Spots.
Many soaps sold as epot removers are
ordinary cocoanus oil soaps, and remove
only the spots which are prepared for the
purpose by the vender. For example,
spots made by daubing cotton goods with a
miztore of tar aud avid tan be anv
with pure water, and completely disappear
when washed with Aut eh soap. True
spot-removing soaps contain ox gall and
turpentine, which can be detected by their
charsoteristio and powerful odors, even if
the soaps are scented.
A good spot-removing soap may be made
by mixing 20 parts by weight of good hard
white soap, in very small
parts of water and 12 parts of ox gall. The
mixtare is allowed so stand over night and
is shen heated gently unsil solution is com-

United States Commissioner of Education,

To announce the birth of a child an in-
teresting variation of the conventional en-
graved card was seen lately.
On a long narrow slip of water-color pa-
per a baby’s profile was nted, a fnony
Jule face, topping a bis of frilly lace at the
neck.
On the paper was written the name of
the child and the date of its birth.
It was placed in a long, vairow envelope
and sealed with a emall silver seal with the
family initial in the center.
A number of the cards were made, and
were mailed to the friends of the parents
all over she country.
Io this case baby’s aunt was the artistic
person res, ble for the idea.
If bought iu the shope or from strangers
the cards would probably be costly, bus

—There is some danger of potato rot this
seasou, a number of farmers tepariing that
already evidences have been discovered in
their crop. In many sections digging has
begun in the hope of saving as m of the
crop as possible. The yield shis season
will be large and fine, unless overtaken by
the rot blight, which nsually makes short
work of the tubers.—Forest Republican.

—The farmers are very busy getting
their wheat sown. Some of the farmers
are not sowing on sccount of the dry
weather, as they olaim the grain will nos

are more plentiful this year than has
been known for a great many years. — Par.

Do not make the food too sloppy for
young pigs. Keep plensy of chatooal in
the pen. Pat a packet of Epsom «alts in
the food occasionally, Castrate pigs at
three weeks, not later. Observe regularity
in feeding, and let them out for a ron oo.
casionally. As the young pigs come in do
not allow them to lose their baby fas, hut
keep them in good condition right from
the time they are weaned.
—Carrants and gooseberries may be
pruned as soon as the leases fall. Or ‘the
work can be left until early spring. Cot
back one-third of this year's growth, and
thin out surplus, diceased or uuvthrifty
shoots. Old bushes may have two-thirds
of the present year's growth removed. Do
no prune the new canes of raspberries and
hlackberries until spring ; the old canes
should bave been out ons long ago. It is
too early to pruns grapevines,

—In America it has heen ohserved that
bees often bore tubular colorras in order to
kes as the peotar of flowers, instead of en-
tering by the mouth, as humble bees doin
Earope. In essays on the cross-fertiliza-
tion of flowers this rapposed anomaly hes
been the snhject of much comment. It
now appears that the humble bees of En
and | rope aud America have identical habits in
regard to the manuer in which the visits to
flowers are made, and that it is the class of
insects known as the carpenter hee or the
borer which works in the outside manner
indicated.
=- Whether it is profitable to plow in fall
or not depeads on the #oil and climate. If
the soil is of a firm texture fall planting
will do it good, where the winter is severe
enough to keep the ground frozen until
spring. It separates the soil and makes it
friable. Bot where the soil is of a tough
clay texture and the winters are mild, not
freezing the ground solid for a foot or more
in depth, the plowed ground will freeze
and thaw and run together again and be as
firm in the spring as though not plowed.
If any good comes from such fall plowing
it must be weed destruotion.
