Be Good And Happy.
A correspondent wi iuiir to "
nietr politau nun-spa riv.'s n
number of rules of .'nod conduct,
wh ch can bo improved Imt little.
Tbev are yood tuiouirl to bo re
printed and hung up t re they
vill always he und'?r ( soyes:
Don't contradict pc- even if
you're sure you are ri. i
Dou't bo inquisitive a .rit the
affairs of. even your most intimate
friend.
Dou't underrate an.ytt.mg be
cause yon don't possess U.
Don't !.'! iov that everybody
else in ihe world is happier than
you.
Don't conclude thr.t you have
never had any opportunities iri
life. Don't believe all the e 'lis,
you hear.
Dou't be i udu to your inferiors
in social p 'sitiou.
D i::'t repeat gossip, even if it
does interest a crowd.
Don't j-or at anybody's religi
ous tx. hot'.
These excellent rules are cot.
tinuiilly violated by many people
vho for the most part are ad.uir
able. It is hard to refraiii from
contradicting nuybody who la id
the wrong. Contradiction comes
to the lips as natuially as the
busy tongue wags. Especially is
it advisable to disbelieve much ol
tho evil report one hears Slan
derers are always busy, and lies
grow and swell into groat pro
portions as they move along.
The bearer of evil report is
responsible for iniu-li misery
in this world aud perhaps in
tho next. D"spite tho greal
progress of the human race there
remains much bigotry and r eligi
ous intolerance. The sooner this
can be overcome the better.
Hut all the rules are excellent,
and one could do no better than
follow 1 1' , in. The discussion as
to what is a geutleman, fir what
constitutes a gentleman, can bt
ended right n-jre. The perfect
geutleman is the man who obeys
all these rules, and one or two
others.
Mu;h of the so cailed friend
ship of the day is but pretense.
It exists only in 'name and as
soon as it ceases to be Advantage
ous it is dropped. The friend
ship that continues the same in
prosperity and adversity is to
be prized, but a'.l othtr Kinds are
worthless. It matters' not how
hard a man may struggle to dr
right and make a success of liff
there is always some loathsome
reptile, some worthies wretch
who is ready to drag him down,
to blight his hopes and blast his
fondest ambitions. The loss ol
money and property is not th(
greatest loss a man can sustain
in tho business world; far better
to lose your money than to lose
hope and ambition.

Soaking the hands above the
wrist in hot water will sometimes
relieve a he?.:lacho. I found this
out while washing 'dishes and
clothes when my head wasaching,
Iv'optrg the feet warm at the

and see if you don't find it a great
improvement.
When a baby is led with a bot
tle, the milk often gets too cool
before he has finished it. A rub
ber bag tilled with hot v ater and
placed under the bottle will keep
it wauri, and also serve .s a sup
port to tip tho bottle nf milk at
the right angle for hou to get it
easily.
tireen tomatoes will make ex
cellent pies next wirier if you
pare them, cut in thick slices, and
to seven pounds of them add
three pounds of sugar and cook
very slowly till clear ana tender.
Do not add any water. When the
pies are made, thin slices of lem
on added will improve the flavor.
Some women after they have
used a pattern just roll it up and
tuck it away al in i it anywhere it
happens, aud v ii. r y want to
use it next tir- . ;t curls up and
acts so that t- . o is no doing any
thing with it. If they would just
lay the p Uteres out Hit and put
them where they might stay that
way, uK tills trouble would be
avoided.
A good many times we blarne
sore toes on the shoes we wear,
when it isn't the shoes at all, but
a big hummo:k in the stocking

a great knack to darn socks so

Take jessot.s of grandmother
about that. Young folks may
know some things grandmother
doesn't, but when it coniesto

To mend china: dissolve half an

Green tomato piclile: Take one
