How to Boar Burdens.
“And bearing his ernes he went
fouth.”— John xlx :17
“The heart knoweth his own bitter¬
ness.”—Proverbs xiv :19
A cross is part of the household
furniture of every family, It is
the^aecree of Providence that it

There are many sweets in life,
but there was never yet a heart
that had no bitterness. There arc-
pages in every book which are
never read except by ourselves and

and we have many secrets which
are not confided to a third party.
He understands us ; no one else can,
That is a peculiarity of our human
life.
And fortun ite it is that the veil
which covers our beans c.«n not bt
lifted. If we could see ill that
our neighbors suffer and they could
see what we suffer, the revelation
would be very painfui and life
would have an added agony, We
are graciously, permitted,therefore,
to have a place of concealment
where we keep our special disap
pointments and our private griefs,
the key to which is never lost or
mislaid.
The true and noble make the
best of life and refuse to increase
another’s sorrow by the recital of
their own. Small souls, like the
babbling brooks, tell everything
as they go ; but souls that see the
plan of God tell all to him alone
and find a certain comfort in their
reticence toward others.
The degree of happiness we en¬
joy, therefore, depends largely on
ourselves. Our environment has
less to do with our happiness than
we think. • The important question
is : whether we have the necessary
elements within the heart, and if
that is decided in the affirmative it
makes no difference what our sur¬
roundings are.
It is hard to believe this for we
are living in an age of show and
shame and display. In the
decalogue of modern society the
first law reads : “Thou shalt wor¬
ship no other god but gold.” We
spend our lives in a scramble for
cash, and prove that we have suc¬
ceeded by an exhibition which is
little less than a personal advertise¬
ment, and the object of which is to

Whit to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often ggvessed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, aie great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
It, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra¬
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won¬
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the

excite envy and stimulate averice
But we are making a colossal
blunder. Happiness comes not
from the pocket, but from the
heart. It can not be created by
wealth, nor destroyed by poverty.
Where love is there is contentment
and when love is perfect, mere
surroundings are regarded with
something like disdain. It is
when the heart is not satisfied that
the nature of the environment as¬
sumes undue importance. Two
rooms would do, if nothing better
can be had, when love would build
a house, but a palace is too small
when the heart is aching. A rag
carpet on the floor and a single
flower in blossom on the window
sill, if contentment sits at the tire-
side, are better than splendor,
with distrust and suspicion as your
guest.
Here, then, we have two facts
which you must meet :
First. There is no life which is
not burdened with grief. It is a
hopeless task to search fur one, for
it will never be found. This grief
may come in anyone in a thousand
shapes, but in some shape it comes
to all of us. Its mission is to teach
us that there is One wiser than
we. and to search till we find Him.
There is nothing in all the world
that draws us to heaven so gently
and yet so irrisistily as the sense ot
helplessness. Make life a round
of pleasure, and the Lord’s Prayer
would never be uttered. But the
smitten soul seeks shelter as the
frightened child rushes into its
mother's arms. We may not un¬
derstand why this so, but true it is
that the best elements of human
character have been developed by
sorrow rather than success.
Second. The happiness' of life
must greatly come from the way
you look at life, if you put down
the things you want but can not
have, it is easy to make yourself
miserable. Yuu can be envious
until you become morbid and
melancholy. If you believe that in
being poor or afflicted you have
been robbed of your rights, no ray
of sunshine will fall on your path¬
way.
A man may look at nature
though a smoked glass, and lie can
use smoked glass when looking at
himself and his surroundings, Do
but reckon your blessings instead
of your miseries, and you halve the
weight you carry. From the habit
of looking lor a silver lining to
every cloud, and the cloud itself
will seem less dark.
Some cun be happy with s.
farthing candle, while others
mourn under the glare of an electric
light.
And religion comforts and con-
soles because it furnishes a cheer-
ful view to every change that

you have everything and no man

that you are to have disappoint¬
ments and sorrows, but make the
best of them, and speak of them
only to your best friend.

How to Adjust Shirtwaists
“Dear me,” said a much-flurried
young woman as she mopped the
perspiration from her brow; 4 4 I
have stood in front of this glass
hall an hour trying to adjust my
shirtwaist properly. Work as I may,
pinning ft here and there, it never
looks smooth or neat. How in the
world can I overcome this pinning
process and avoid tearing my gar¬
ments ? > 7
It is very simple to have a shirt
waist set properly in the back and
be as smooth as possible,if one will
follow these directions.
At your waistline sew a wide
piece of tape across the back to the
under arm seams. Then take three
hooks and eyes; sew one eye on at
the center of the tape and the »e-
mainder two inches apart, one each
side of he center eye. Then, cor¬
respondingly, sew the hooks on
your skirt band, and there you are,
as trim as possible.
