Eve Adam and Her Department “Dolly Doleful is so dismal in so very grim away that it makes one blue to see her. She will never laugh and play. If you give an apple to her how her face will lengthen out, till you feel her tears are com ing, very soon beyond a doubt; if you give her nuts or candy, what a dole ful face Is hers, and you long to ask her pardon for the pain the gift con fers.’’ If “Dolly Doleful had been a sub scriber to The Golden Age she would have been all smiles instead of hav ing the “blues. 1 ’ She would laugh out loud and joyful every week just to read Piney Woods Sketches, and there is always a wholesome pleas ure to be gained from the Home Cir cle for young people. And Johnny “Doleful” will find many interesting subjects to read and talk of that a bright boy likes to know about. In fact, the entire “Doleful” family will pick up on every page of The Golden Age many golden grains of thought that will interest and inspire them to greatness —wholesome thoughts and sweet sentiments that tend to better homes generally. These are the real ly truly things that count for most and that will abide forever and re dound to the uplift of humanity. And after reading all these good things, of course the “Doleful” family will take another name for no one can be acted better than she had for weeks.” The thing that first interested me in this letter was the unconscious grasp ing of the phychological truism that thoughts are things and, that negative thoughts produce negative effects, while positive thoughts produce posi tive effects. This woman after a visit from the negative variety becomes more ill. But when a positive visitor that radi ates health, good cheer, vim, vigor, energy comes around she brightens up and laughs and sings. And so I ask: Are you a murderer? Do you go about helping folks to ward the grave, or do you help them to more life? Do you radiate cheer, optimism, inspiration, hopefulness? Do you make folks long to see you, to talk with you, to watch you smile? Do you send desirable thought chemi cals into the mental retorts of those with whom you work or play? And what kind of thoughts are you giving yourself? It is only by giving yourself good thoughts that you can give good thoughts to others. Become a creator of more good health or more life. You can. THOMAS DREIER. THE LAST STAND OF THE SIM PLE LIFE The South for years was rich hunt ing ground for the lover of the pic turesque, but changes both numerous and rapid have occurred there in re cent years. The old negro types of the cotton fields are no more. The log cabins, the pine groves, even the stately plantation mansions, recalling the flowery days ‘befo’ de wah,’ are passing away. Fortunately for those who enjoy seeing life as it is lived where there is a real attachment to the soil, the French section of Can- ECZEMA BOOK FREE.

Here along the lower St. Lawrence River one may find conditions exactly as they were a century ago. Here the ‘one-horse shay’, the pride of colonial days, is making its last stand. In the fields women may be seen cutting grain with sickls, than which there is no implement more primitive. The peo ple of the hamlet live and work as did their great-grandparents. Picture to yourself a place where spinning is still an everyday task! I have sat in these simple homes watching deft fingers at the spinning wheels and listening to their whirring sound that is like the hum of bees. It was in one of these old interiors that I photographed Grand’mere Tru deau. She sits looking from her cabin across the river, thinking of a son at sea. —The Christian Herald. ... I—. “REDOLENT OF PARADISE” Last evening I opened my “Spur geon’s Gems” to this passage: “I bid you take the meditation upon Christ as a piece of scented stuff that was perfumed in heaven. It mat ters not what thou hast in thy house; this shall make it redolent of Para dise —shall make it smell like those breezes that once blew through Eden’s garden, wafting the odor of flowers.” Again I read, “Let thy face ever wear a smile; let thine eyes sparkle with gladness; live near thy Master; live in the su burbs of the celestial city.” I laid aside my book with the de termination to live closer to heaven; to have the Christ In my heart and home. A power for good is one home, or one heart, that Is “redolent of Paradise.” —L. B. C. OPENED HIS EYES. Two old friends met on the street, “John, what in the world are you going to marry a young woman for?” “O, just to close my eyes when I die.” “Well, I married a young one and I can tell you she has opened mine.” COUGHS Hard coughs, old coughs, tearing coughs, deep coughs, all kinds of coughs.
