HOW LITTLE IT COSTS. ■
How little it costs, ft we give jt a thought.
To make happy some heart each day!
ilust one kind word or a tender emlle,
jii wo go on our daily way;
Perchance a look will suffice to clear
The cloud from a neighbor's face,
And the press of a hand in sympathy
A sorrowful tear efface.
One walks in sunlight; another goes
All weary in the shade;
One treads a path that Is fair and
smooth.
Another must pray for aid.
It costs so little! 1 wonder why
We give it so little thought;
A smile—kind words—a glance—a touch!
What magic with them is wrought!
—Somerville Journal.
HAS SPRING REALLY COME?
I guess spring ought to have arrived
sooner front the many announcements
we have received Scarcely a letter for
a month past but has informed us "spring I
has come. " Today, April 27. as we sit by
a good fire and look out on the dreary, j
cold, cloudy sky we wonder if spring has I
really come. Doubtless when this is read I
the fickle indo may have come in full j
force, but today she has certainly hi.t 1
iier blushing face.
When once we feel the balmy touch of |
spring we long fop its presence to re i
main with us and hence our impatience I
when the chilly days come again.
Now we are watching the seed and they >
scent as if they would never peep up and ;
the rosebuds want to burst and yet seem
tightly clasped, blit all things come to 1
those who wait and the days are not far I
distant when our eyes will be gladdened |
by the flowers and our whole being feel ;
the influence and languor of the spring
days.
How very lazy we f. e| and wish w. had
nothing to do but sit in the sunshine.
How we city folks long for the green
fields and singing birds and how. if we
< ould. we would, like the Arabs, "silently
fold our tents and steal away” to the
dear ones wiio live where nature is burst
ing forth in all its beauty. However
duty comes first, and we each must fill
< ur little nook in life and enjoy the spring
days wherever our lot is oast.
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
We give below an article kindly furn
ished by a contributor which we com
mend to all housekeepers. There Is not
enough importance attached to the ap- I
pearance or furnishing of the kitchen. 1
wish to give a bit of personal experience
in this line. My cook had said to nu
several times, “I wish you would get
me,” mentioning some little convenience
or labor-saving article, and I would re
ply, “Well. I’ll see about it,” but v. a s
careless and did not comply with her
request. Soon the fate came to me that
comes to all—"cook sick”—and 1 went in
the kitehen. To make a long story short,
when that cook came back she opened
her eves with astonishment. Thera was
everything there she bad over asked for.
and much besides, and when I found at
what small cost all these helps had been
attained 1 was thoroughly ashamed of
myself, but a lesson had been learned not
soon to be forgotten, "put yonrsqlf in her
place.”
A CONVENIENT KITCHEN.
It is natural for the young wife to wish
to furnish her new home as nicely as
that of her neighbors, and tl *is very
well If every room is equally well fitted
for the purpose for which it is intended.
An investigation of many houses will
show that while the pallor Is handsomely
furnished, the kitehen and pantry are
sadly lacking in this respect. Labor- I
saving devices save time, tem] 1 aid
strength, and the satisfaction of doi. g I
the work in a well equipped kitchen I
would be a revelation to thos. wl.o have I
been in the habit of getting along with a .
meager outfit.
The walls of the kitchen should be I
k ilsomin‘d or painted in some pretty,
cheerful color. Paper Is loos,.;, j with i
the steam of c ooking or washing and is ■
not the best finish for the waiis. There I
should l>e enough windows to g: .- p er.tv .
of light and air and they should be sup- j
; lied with shades on spring rollers. Ample
closet space is needed unless you are I
plentifully sup plied with kitchen cabinets, i
then there should be a closet for tl.o i
cooking utensils.
A chair that is high enough to allow I
one to work at the table in comfort will i
be found a great help. Un ironing day ]
when one becomes tired of standing, it :
will be a great relief and one can work ;
as quickly as to stand all the time.
Scrubbing the kitchen fluor is hard >
work, but it may be oiled or painted and i
v. ■!] be easy to k<-.p cl.on. S< rub the]
floor and let it dry. Heat a q..art of lip.
F , cd oil until it is boiling and pour a|
little in a vessel that is convenient to
handle. Use a clean paint brush to ■
spread it on evenly, adding more hot oil j

One application every year will keep it in
good shape. The oil fills the pores of the
wood so that it does not absorb grease.
It preserves the floor, making ft last two
or three tituus as long as it would with
out it. Wash the floor once a week with
a woolen mop rag wrin g out of water
containing a little borax and a very little
soap, and it will look clean with very
little labor. Keep a box of borax on
your pantry shelves and you will find It
useful in many ways. Put a teaspoonful
in halt a gallon of hot water for wash
ing silver. Rub brass ami copper with a
damp cloth dipped In the dry powder,
rinse in clear water and wipe with a
flannel cloth.
The kitchen utensils should be of gran
ite ware as much as possible. They are
not as heavy as iron, are easy to keep
clcuii and look well. They do not discolor
fruit and vegetables, nor do the articles
cooked In them tasto of the kettle.

WEIGHT ON HER HEAD
: MRS. EGGLESTON FEARED HER
REASON WOULD GIVE WAY.
. Solicitude of Her Neighbors Resulted in
1 the Relief of the I ufortunate Woman.
Mrs. Eggleston Interviewed.
"There seemed to be a heavy weight
crushing down on the top of my head,'
said Mrs. Kate Eggleston, of No. 126
Dliio street, Indianapolis. Ind., "and tor
days and days at a time 1 was obliged to
stay in bed. Everj* attack of this trouble
would leave me weak and worn out. So
many excellent doctors treated me with
out success that I just resigned mist If
to my fate-I lost hope. There were many
times when I feared my reason would
give way. , , I
"A nervous affliction developed which ,
affected mv muscles and at times 1 could
not control them. 1 could not sleep
soundly, i lost flesh and appetite and
was miserable. ,
“A neighbor called one day and told
me of some of the cures tlrat had b 1 cn
made bv Dr. Williams' Pink 1 tbs lot
Pale People and I promised her lo
them. R.-llef came with the first box and
i. improved steadily until, by the tune
four boxes were taken. 1 was perfectly
cured and 1 have had no return of the
trouble since.” , ...
The (jills which cured Mrs. V.ggleston
are not a patent medicine, but a pte
scription used for many years by an emi
nent practitioner who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all
kinds of weakness arising from a watery
condition of the blood or shattered
nerves, two fruitful causes of almost
every ill to which flesh is heir. Acting
directly on the blood and nerves, these
pills have proved a boon to women, in
vigorating tlte body and regulating the
functions of the exhausted patient.

Mrs. G. C. Syndon. 112 West Fair Street,
Atlanta., Ga. —Some time since I proposed
to exchange 1 dozen sweet violet plants
for two spools of thread and a 2-cent
stamp. So many have, asked me for cul
tural directions that I have decided to
reply to all through the Kingdom. 1 am
only an amateur nt violet culture my
self, but have found they do,better in a
shady situation than In the full glare of
the sun. .They also bloom more freely If
the runners are kept picked off and the i
plants allowed to remain with a single j
crown. These runners can be set out
thus making new plants The violets 1 .
have for exchange are all single blue,
very fragrant and perfectly hardy. Have
recently added to my collection several
line varieties, both bljje and white, single
and double, also the so-called crimson
siolet, and Mehau's new “pink gem.” If
these do well and increase ns rapidly as
do the commoner varieties will have some
o' them for exchange bv next spring. I
still have quite a. lot of the others. Did
not think of the golden glow and chysan
themums when I sent the exchange the
first time, but have them to all who
ordered violets in the quantitiec nanjed.

A Graduate Nurse, Convinced by Cures, Endorses Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound. She Writes:
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Ministering to the sick T have had numerous chances to compare Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound with other medicines in cases of diseases of wonxu, and the
number of cures recorded where your medicine was used convinced me that it is the safest and surest
medicine for a sick woman. Doctors certainly must know the value, of Lydia E. Pinkbain’s Vegetable

Many Physicians Admit that no Medicine Known to the Profession Equals
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Compound for the Cure of Woman’s Ills,
and We are Permitted to Publish the Following:
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham: —lt gives me great pleasure to slate that 1 have found Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound very efficacious, and have often presci ibed it for I-male ditliciilties.
" My oldest daughter found it very beneficial for uterine trouble some two years ago, and my youngest
daughter is using it for female weakness, and as a tonic, and is slowly but, surely gaining strength and health.
“ I freely advocate it as a most reliable specific in all disorders which women are subject to, and give it
honest endorsement. -Yours very truly, Sarah < Brigham, M D., 4 Brigham Park, Fitchburg, Mass.”
If physicians dared to lie frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly
prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it can be relied upon to effect a cure.

al.-f have been a. silent reader of The
' mstitution for a long time and this
Is mv first to the sistets. I think I rn if
have something new for the moth.th to
prepare for a. surprise I'm- thtir little ones
on Easter—.it is an Easter pudding. I
have made it for a. good, many years
and it always looks new and pytty.
Pudding—First we make a hen’s nest
of lemon .1 lly; take three lemons, two
cunees gelatin, dissolve in two quarts
cold water; grate the rind of one h mon;
add one-half pound sugar; let all < on-,..’
b.- boil live minutes; strain in a large
nish that will make a good looking hen’s
ii'.-.'t; put awa\ on ice "r in a cool pin. ■ .
Now for the I’r :.ty Eggs—S. ve till the
eggshells by making a hole in the pointed
end as large as a dime; blow out the
c< ntents, keep the shell * in ol I water in
a c< >1 place, until wanted. On the day
''• fore Easter make a coi'nstarch pud
ding. not 1 io thick; I add a little gelatin
to make it set. divide in as many parts
■ as you. want to color; take red sugar for
one part, chocolate for another, the yelk
ut egg.-, for another and leave some
whit... K.c;. each color warm; now pack
the eggshells in salt, the little end down
and with a funnel till the shell with the
cornstarch pudding; set away to cool.
Now peel .a lent in very thin and cut in
pieces the size of straws and about three
or tour inches long; boil in a sirup of
sugar until clear.
Easter morning turn the jelly out on
a pretty dish; place the lemon straws
around, crack and peel the shells from
the .oriistreh pudding; place the colored
eg-gs, in tl." center of the lemon jellv
Serve with whipped eream.
I ha .0 this for my center piece for my
Easter dinner and it makes a vet v prettv
dish.

It’s Time To Smile.
It's time, to lure the smiles along
And hell, the world be gay;
It's rime to sing the happy song
And whistle care away.
It's time to gladly leave behind
The sorrow and the sighs;
It's time to look for joy and find
Each cranny where it lies.
It's time to hoist the flags for Mlr’h
And shout huzza to Glee;
'Give Joy th'- freedom of the earth.
Drive Woe into the sea:
It s time to hide the frowns and let
The songs of gladness rise
The world Is laughing, let's forget
The, sorrow and the sighs.
