BEST Blessed iudec-i is the minrlund body that has learned {he sort-x: of making the bestof attainable blessings, and also of misfortunes. To such an one the world is almost heaven, and the min that falls in- to her lives only serves to reflect the rainbow of thanksgiving. If our friend, thus blessed, lives in a “wee cabin,” she does not make herself gloomy contrasting her abode with the imposing farm house. She can admire and fully appreciate the beauty and convenience of the great house, but with no envy in her heart, she sets about making the best of her surroundings, often repeating in some simple fabric ideas gained in “peeps” in some more pretentious mansion. Dry goods boxes are metamorphosed into cupboards, book cases and ottomans; cheese cloth, prints and muslins provide draperies and hang— ings that fill her heart with delight to .MAKE TH?)

Her mind will revert with pity to her neighbor, whose dwelling is smaller and poorer than her own, and she will find herself devising ways and means of improving their more destitute surround- ings. She will show her small successes With a justifiable pride, and glow and dimple with satisfaction when their merits are extolled. She is the person who has the knack of “making over.” In her person is fulfilled the phrase “ She gars old cloes leuk amaist as weel as new.” Difficulties challenge her to new efforts; failure is onlyastepping stone to suc— cess. But this little woman is modest withal, and never dreams how “much better she is building than she knows.” Her life is a sermon, her efforts an in- spiration, and her successes a demon- stration that wakens attention, kindles enthusiasm, inspires efforts that lift many a groveling soul from whining complaint and repining. up into the light and liberty of self-helping independence. I am not adv. eating the state of con tent that would make no effort to rise higher. It is the one who always makes the best of everything who is always as- piring, as well as prepared to seize np< portunity’s forelock, and rise to better things. Trained to habits of observance and in- dustry, alert, watchful and self-reliant, she is quick to see and seize all means of improvement, and withanew meaning makes the best of them. If we with hand and mind intent on making the best of things, put our theory in practice, there will be little time found to bewail our hard lot, or complain we have “no chance in the world.” ' Providence, as a rule, helps those who help themselves, and human nature yields reverence to earnest, successful workers; while the best of us have a feeling of con- tempt for the idle repiner, who folds her hands and maunders on the old refrain, “I never have no luck.” A. L. L. INGLESIDE. 0.— HEALTH HINTS. Ican sympathize with Beatrix in her sufferings from insomnia, and vain en deavors to obtain that most refreshing of all our refreshments, a good night’s sleep. I have been a great sufferer from the same disease for the last few years. Many, very many nights have I retired to rest. after a hard and wearisome day's work, only to find myself tossing restlessly about to obtain it. I think when I know asleepless night or two is in my way. that all cares shall be left in the kitchen, that I will not go to bed to think and plan for the next day, but the first thing I know, I am doing the very thing I thought to avoid, and thus become nervous and restless, and get no sleeep until the wee small hours of the morning. In a para- graph from the Herald of Health, I saw a statement which startled me not a little; it was that comparatively few people, after childhood has passed, know what perfect sleep is by experience. I have tried all of Beatrix’s methods to obtain sleep, except the midnight lunch or read- ing myself to sleep. In imagination I have gone into the forest and named the different kinds of wood in an alphabetical order, naming as many as I could, com— mencing with A before going to B; gen- erally that would bring sleep. After reading Beatrix’s new treatment. I tried that and was successful. I found it difficult at first to keep the eyeballs turned down; but a determination to do so brought sleep. I have experienced the most benefit from using salt and water as hot as I could bear it, for weak eyes, or “ blurs ” before the sight. Cosmoline, applied once or twice a day, is very strengthening to the eyes; it has hardly an equal for wounds and sores; it is a nice dressing for the hair to remove dandruff. My remedy for bad burns is sifted corn meal, made quite moist with gold vine— gar, laid on a cloth and applied to the burn, and moistened often with vinegar. or newly applied; it will stop the smart— ing and draw out the fire in a short time, then dress with cos moline. BE I‘TY. GRAND BLANC. —-———...-——— LIFE IS HELPFULNESS. The grand aim and end of all acquiring is helpfulness. The accumulation of wealth is but a ministration to human need. The mos-:- profound and varied knowledge makes us wise only as its many rivulets flow into the great channel of use. The only true results which can ever come of science, philosophy, or re- ligion are light and helpfulness to human progress; toward this end lead all the processes of reason and intuition. All the garnered treasures of life are preserv- ed only by use, only as they are set in the diadem of helpfulness. Every person or thing is limited in its power according to its ability to minister to necessity. Who would be great must be useful. Helpful- ness is the test, the “cleansing fi e” of life. If you would know its value, lay your life upon this heaven-built altar. Should the flames consume all you have gathered into the years, go forth again and garner for eternity. I have known a man, brave, loyal, and help-loving, comprehensive in mind, aspiring in spirit, yet the great sorrow of his life was his limited helpfulness. [see here a principle,——helpfulness is the con— dition of happiness, and obedience a promise of gladness. Here is the great secret of unhappy living. Action is a divine force, and must be in harmony with the great principles of existence. Helpfulness is an innate desire, yet all are not helpful. Some lives are like tangled weeds, always making our path wearisome;others are stumbling blocks over which we fall, tearful because of our very helplessness and bruises. Why islife thus prostrate and groveling? Heaven alone knows all the causes; we are children, therefore life means growth to us. If there be an innate desire, why are not all helpful? What is helpfulness? It is ministration, yet how and what will teach us true ministration? Ah, this is the problem! We seek, we are in process of trial, our forces are unknown and un— tried by us. We are climbing up to the hope and promise of heaven in our spirit’s life. - The cry for help is universal. The little children plead for it, their misshapen souls and bodies cry to us from the cradle and the street. The young crave guidance, as their wondering hearts pause or hasten, as they doubt, wander and sometimes sink. The middle-aged ask light to free their strong lives from the prejudices and errors which crush the spirit’s life. The aged, like the children, plead for guid‘ ance, as their tottering steps grope towards the gateway of light. Let us search all the pathways of truth we are capable of entering; let us gather the treasures of use, the gems of joy, and bring them for the relief of the needy. Where shall we search for these? We shall find them only in the realm of realities. Sometimes we climb up, un- knowing as a child, and grasping a shadow above us seek to stay ourselves by it. How may we know when our hearts reach out to grasp the shadows? What is Reality? There is a “bleeding heart” by our door-step. Do you know how the dew drops lie on the leaves of this plant? Not as on other leaves, but the drops are gathered in larger globules, more distinct, and glow with the clearness and beauty of the diamond. I can easily brush these liquid jewels to the earth, yet they con- tain the spirit of reality. They whisper a thought beautiful in its helpfulness, though they are frail as the fabric of a dream. Then come out in the morning with me, and see our newly opened pansies. Oh, the wonder, passion, and glory of the fl )wers! Pansies, pansies, I can but cry, you hide in your blue and gold hearts a mystery! Whisper it to my spirit. The delicate fragrance speaks with divine sweetness of Reality. I feel a growing consciousness of the beautiful Real, as felt in the powers lying unseen, silent, latent. Back of all we may speak, there is in the heart something so sweet, so subtle, yet enduring, —the Reality of life lies there stretched in eternal repose, Storms of passion, blight of pain, thrill of pleasure’s brief chords,—nothing dis— turbs the calm, chaste Reality of being. Yet how can I bring these influences into use? They are building up my compre- hension of realities, and reality means victory. But must there not be aplan? I cannot tell, I know there must be a purpose, and perhaps a plan, method, is the extension and elucidation of a purpose. Our pur' pose is for our individual life, our plans for those we would help. In abrief but pleasant chat with our Editor the other day, she said, speaking of our little paper, “I have been con— nected with the Household five years, and I think it will take five years more to get , .__— y are 3? It will lie is new un— o the uirit’s little souls a and :e, as ,sten, times ) free s and The guid‘ grope truth ather , and eedy.

The livine iwing al, as ilent, there it, so If life pose, thrill :dis— sing. i into spre- ieans innot . and nsion pur' plans our king con- . and 3 get . THE HOUSEHOLD it up to my standard.” Here is a helpful thought. How grand to have a standard, intelligible, real to the soul, pure, clear! Helpfulness follows, for the object of all plan is aid. But what is a standard. and what renders it valuable? The degree of power it has to uplift measures its value, and the quality of our desire to be help- ful gives it clearness to us. The standard itself is the soul-power and capacity of .the individual life, and is as varied as the experiences gathered into life and the use made of them. With many it is like a block, cut just the width and height of the individual to whom it belongs. This is applied to all; if it fails to fit, being either too short or too high, too broad or too narrow, of course it is easy to see where a fellow being’s imperfections lie and we can compute them to the fraction of an inch! The goal of life is truth. Any standard of worth must embody the elements of truth, and a comprehension of its univer- sal principles. It must be wide enough and free enough for many minds to find in it use and beauty. Above their illusions, clearer than all their prejudices, must shine a light which will make lu- minous the everlasting word truth, which gilds the standard of helpfulness. Yet still my heart questions, for all the philosophy of my brain. For it was my heart which yearned to help when a young wife said to me, “When I have done all my work, many times I fold my hands, and here alone I feel, my life is a failure!” Oh, saddest cry of human heart! What does the spirit of true ministration here suggest? Wnat gem of use shall the heart offer? Ambition, desire to acquire, can have no limit in the face of needs like this. One must have power to discover, and wisdom to select the true word of guidance for which the weary heart waits. Ohl rich meed of lOve, I thought, have not you crowned life for her? Labor, action, cannot you send the glad pulse of your life into her brain and heart? Thought, surely you have power to drop the seed which shall thrill all the latent forces into germination. You are crea- tive. I need not to lighten her labor, nor can I fulfill to her her hope of love, but thoughts there are which gladden all our being. They come to us as revelations, we feel as though we were discoverers of spiritual wealth, but we are not. All truth is in the eternal existence, and from our full heritage the drop for which we thirst falls upon the soul, evolving new energy of being. Shall not the weary pray? By prayer, I mean not alone petition, but the preparation of life to receive; and if the soil be well prepared, God will grant a fruitful seed. But the children who cry for help, what shall we give them? Let us redeem them oy giving them fairer forms, clearer minds, and purer souls! Let us bless their opening lives through a diviner parenthood and more tender, patient teaching. The young, who haste with eager feet, what shall we do for them? Let ,us take them to our hearts, teach always. The middle~aged, strong in brain and sinew, who will yield not a straw of their burdens though sometimes falling beneath them in silent pain 0: heart. how can we reach them? Shallnot the chil-iren lead them, and make clearer life’s beautiful meaning? And the aged, let us gladden their hearts by loving always. We will smile upon them, for does not the child-like heart of age love the shining of the spirit? This only is a smile. We will guide their trembling steps, and wreathe the grave in flowers. The feeble life will inhale a breath of heavenly fragrance, and glide more gently into the arms of sleep from which the waking is light, and a clearer unfoldment of the laws of life. Lnsnrn. b. .._———«._._.__ THE OTHER SIDE. It is said there are two sides to every question, and in regard to the one of health may it not be possible that some of us are trying too hard to keep well? Strange idea to advance, I hear a member say; but this seems to be an age of strange ideas. I don’t think cleanliness or sanitary laws ever hurt any one; but if there is an all-saving grace in the laws of health, why does not a closer attention to such matters decrease sickness? When we start out to follow the laws of health religiously, we are soon at sea; for one says you must never take a cold bath, while another remarks that a hot one is very injurious; one says never eat meat, still another declares it a necessity; some claim one meal to be sufficient for health, while others will advocate fohr. “What is meat for one is another’s poi- son;” so if a person has any inherent com- mon sense they had better use it, while if they have not, it is useless to argue with them. To get happiness for ourselves, we are taught to try and make it for others. I think that rule will apply in a great meas- ure to health. When you begin to feel aches here and there, instead of going to a doctor’s book to see what may come of it, go to a sick or tired neighbor and see if you-can’t lighten her load. A recital of your own pains will never help her or you. Do not begin by telling her how bad she looks, or that a friend of yours, who was taken in the same way, suffered for years. Have not you heard of well people being made sick by simply bein g told they looked bad? Medical students have brought disease uoon themselves by reading it up and becoming very much interested. Does not this all go to show our mind has a great, if not controlling influence over our body? If it is necessary for us to know all about the workings of our bodies, could God be good and make them so intricate? Why are not doctors’ fam- ilies exempt from sickness, if a knowledge of medicine is such a desirable thing? We are told that certain diseases are con- tagious, but some who have been exposed do not contract them, while others who have not, do. Taking thought of these them, hips in them, love, trust "them while undue thought will bring on a dis- ‘ case; so letus try to go about our duties with no expectation of calamity. In my V, opinion, the person who eats a piece of 9 pie with a contented spirit and kind word for the cook, helps his own digestion more than the one who eats graham bread with a fear that it isn't made just to suit _ his stomach. My experience has been " that what I expect to hurt me does; while 3 what I do with a consciousness of its not '- being morally wrong, and without even a passing thought, does not prove injuri— ous. A sick mind makes asick body. In a recent Household I was asked to try the cotton batting process of canning fruit, which I would be very glad to do if I was keeping house. No wonder a farmer’s wife who doesn't keep house can have theories! Pmsr. Scuooncnxrr. -—-—...___—. THE MANNERS OF “RESORTERS.” To-day, as I sat preparing fruit for pickling, a party of “resorters” drove past. They went into raptures over the beauties of my flower garden, which, I must say is worthy of it, and finally per— suaded the driVer to stop and let them get some flowers, which they did in a manner not at all pleasing to me. Instead of coming to the door and asking for a bouquet, which, of course, would have been cheerfully granted them, they forth- with began araid upon the choice st plants, pulling here and there, without regard to right or privilege. I stood it as long as possible, then, armed with a pair of scis‘ sets, I “swooped down upon them.” They were not at all abashed by my formidable appearance, but coolly in- formed me that the flowers were “ just too lovely for anything,” and they had “t~.ken the liberty to pick just afew.” I told them that as I was saving seed from dif— ferent varieties, I preferred to out the flowers myself. They kept on picking; and if they had been contented with that, perhaps I should not have been tempted to “give them away.” One of the ladies (f) informed me with great pomposity that she was Mrs. Dr. S -—, of D——-, and ' a moment later, stooped, and in trying to pick, pulled one of my choicest pansies up by the roots. Such impudence! I was -—yes, I was glad to see them mount into their vehicle and drive away. Such a deplorable lack of manners as is shown by those who wish to be known as persons of importance, we often witness here. They seem to think that because this is a comparatively new place the people do not know what manners and politeness are, so they are left at home to be donned on their return to society. My idea of true politeness is not by any means realized by the manners which some of these resorters exhibit. I have just read the questions or co- undrums so solemnly propounded by Beatrix in the Household of September lst. I smile audibly when I contrast the pounding barrel which entered into ac tive service in our kitchen today, with an extremely convenient washing machine which was left here on trial a few Weeks things does not seemto prevent them, ago, and which, because of the “ hard" «l THE HOI‘USEHOLD. times” and prospective low prices of hops, we of the kitchen were duly in- formed could not he bought at present To-day an agent left a new " patent cast- ii‘on harness’ (tha: is: what one of our hired men ca -lled it), price, $15 If that agent leave; th. harness ‘neie fn’ good, washing.r machine will l1 aunt the ears of ye gude 1mm on :5. it appears.
