Per Year. Vol. XXIX. 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 shall be so. It would be vet' strange if you could find an ex ception to this rule. M 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 One Other, The rest of * in volume is oDen to the world. God a 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 'Thousands Harve Kidney Trouble and Don’t Know it.

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 best.

In every town and village may be had, 1 the z (8 m Grease Made that makes your Standard OH Co. horses glad. 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 comes. There is no ha'd fisted and relentless fate, but a Father “Good Wilf to All Men.’ in the upper air.

You in iy have the *»arth and yet have nothing. But if you have heaven you have everything and no man can take it a wav. Therefore, reeognize the fact that you are to have disappoint¬ ments and sorrows, but make the best of them, and speak of them only to your best friend. Believe 1 here is light even in da.kness, and look for it until you find it. Make your life great and noble by making your soul noble and great. s Then you wiil be glad that you have lived, and many will be sorry when you go. CURES RHEUMATISM.

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.
