IC•MFORTS AND Vid-XIIRIES.
A contribusur writes tieneibly on
the need of giving more attention to
indoor comforte. She says :
luxuries are undoubtedly comforts.
eat comforts are not luxuries ; and
the eirople farmhouse. with the
wealth of nature about it, Is after
all the sweetest, moat satisfactory
place to build, the roof -tree. So
make the farmhouse beautiful with-
out and within. Too much bareoess
and evidence of poverty make any
luirdworked farmer's wife Poo part
of the best of her neture ; for love of
beauty is ingralued in every true
woman's heart, and the money and
the thought expended in developing
the artistic side of the home will
never be regretted
"Do not spend the time used in
beautitying the home grudgingly. The
prosaic duties will not he shirked
indeed, with the influence of protty
things about, there will come a,
braver heart, and a, more willing
bend will accomplisb Wm tasks Und
sometimes seem drudgery, but are
not -if in any way they mite the
home more perfect, tied bring great-
er comforts to those whom the busy
housewife loves."
IMPORTANCE OF REST.
Wervous, tired housekeepers or
busy workers in any other occupa-
tion save time and strength by
learning to do the right thing in the
right moment and in the easiest and
shortest way possible. It may take
thought. but thought Is ono of the
best labor saymg implements ever
discovered by man. Save thne and
strength by using machines wherever
it Is pcesible. Prolong life and
health by taking a few moments'
reet between duties. Work done in a
state a fatigue will probably be
pderly done and sometimes must be
corrected.
Learn to be calm. All the store
of patience incased in one mortal
frame will be needed some time for
a trying ordeal. Don't waste any of
it. Physicians and druggists grow
fat on the wrecks of constitutions
broken by cotntless little things. If
there, is no other argument that will
count for observing these simple
rules, consider the wrinkles how they
grow and remember that nervous
fretting, with its consequent displays
of ill temper, is the soil in which
these facial disfigurements • flourish
like the green bay teee.
