eggs should ever boll, otherwise you
Will have a curdle Instead of a cream.
Make dish cloths of glass toweling
or thin, coarse muslin. Always wash
your dish towels out In water con
taining a very small amount of bak
ing soda, and hang in the sun, or dry
with heat. Do not allow any cloth
used about dishes "or cooking vessels
to lie about In a wad, wet with dish
water.
Rub out your family or kitchen wash
basin every day with a cloth, or.paper,
slightly wet with" coal oil. Whatever
elso you neglect, do not neglect your
towels, or kitchen cloths. Keep them
perfectly clean and sweet with soap,
water and sunshine. It saves doctor
bills.
Do riot despise the "small things"
which conduce to sanitation. A box
of powdered borax is a good thing to
have in the house. The sink and
drains should be well and often sprin
kled with a solution of copperas or
carbolic acid, and a good disinfectant
should be frequently employed In hot
weather.
All beds and bedding are the better
for a frequent airing out doors. Shake
or beat the mattress well and spread
the bed clothing out so that every part
may have the fresh air. There Is
nothing more desirable than a clean,
sweet smelling bed.
Do not shut the sunshine out of
your homes. It is your best friend. At
all times should there be pure air in
the bed rooms; let in the sunshine by
day, and the pure air by night A
person accustomed to, sleeping in a
room with open windows cannot en
dure a close, shut atmosphere at
night. Get all the fresh, pure air
possible.
"Sun" everything you can, as the
sun is our greatest disinfectant
Beautiful Robes.
Once, in the long ago, when I was
but a -little, wondering child, I looked
down into a tiny coffin, in which lay
the still body of a little dead play
mate. The parents were poor in
purse, and there was no costly shroud
ing of the little form. It lay dressed
in the little, light-colored calico dres3
in which we had so often seen him,
with a few white flowers scattered
about his face.
I remember I looked with a feeling
of pain at the garment, and when I
turned away from the coffin, it was
with a feeling of gladness that he was
go young he was not old enough to
feel ashamed of his clothes when the
glittering angels came to carry him
homo to God.
V
I had heard of "beautiful robes," of
the "garments of salvation," and of
the robes that were to be "washed
whiter than snow," and I had a vague
Idea that the angels were always clad
in some spotless, glittering, diaphan
ous stuffs that were brighter than the
sunshine; and one day I had heard a
poor mother telling her friend, be
tween sobs, that she had bought th9
finest goods she could get for her
child's shroud, so that when the little
body, rose at God's call, it should not

That was such a long while ago!
Since then I have looked down into
many a coffin; I have laid away loved
ones of my own, and still others as
dear have fallen upon life's battle
field, far from home, and other hands
have laid their bodies away in the
awed stillness of death. The poor
perishing forms were more often than
not clothed in the ordinary garments
of every-day fashion, but rarely were
they white.
V
And I have not regretted it . I have
learned that the "beautiful robes" in
which the angels walk are not such as
are fashioned by human hands; are
not made of cloths of earthly texture,
and that the poor trappings that wrap
our dead are left, with the perished
form, in the tomb when the angels
come to roll away the stone.
V
I have learned, too, that, day by
day, we are weaving the garments that
shall not wax old, in the life beyond
the coffin lid. Hour by hour, thread
by thread, wo are storing the "fine
linen," and stitch by stitch we are
setting the pearls upon the pattern.
Thought by thought, act by act, the
cloth is being woven, the pattern un
folded, and it is only when we, too,
are laid away to rest t$at our robes
white or spotted shall be fashioned
and finished for the "washing" that
shall make them whiter than the snow.
V
A loving touch here, a word of ten
derness there, a look of kindly sym
pathy, a sacrifice of self for another; a
little shifting of the burden, a little
lightening of the load, a little sun
chine let Into a shadowed life, a cloud
of sorrow comforted away, a cruel
thorn gathered out of the tangled
pathway, a few rose leaves scattered
over the bare rocks of affliction; . &
cheering away of petty trials, a pa
tient pointing out of the higher path
way, a gentle smoothing away of the
wrinkles of care, a strengthening of
the feeble knees, a morsel of bread
for the lips that famish, a cup or wa
ter lor the parched tongue, a little
kindness done, and a comforting word
or helpful act theso are somo of the
threads, some of the pearls that wo
may gather In this life, and of the3e
are woven the tissue that make Tor our
freed souls the garments, whiter than
snow "that shall shine, even among
the glorious band in the gardens of
God." We shall no moro remember
the pain of the gathering, tho toil of
the years left behind us. In tho glory
of God's smile, wo shall "stand bo
fore tho king," and we shall not bo
ashamed.

blespoonfuls of sugar, and a half tea

Water ices are simple and inexpen
sive. The foundation for all is a sy

quart of water; to this fruit Juice is
added, and sometimes the beaten

Any and all -desserts should be
served as daintily as possible, and in
as pretty and delicate dishes as one
can afford. '
Serve iced teas, iced chocolate, sher
bets, and, in fact, all iced drinks in
pretty glass or china ware, and do try
to have the tea table as daintily pretty
as you can make it. Do not have any
warm coloring in anything. "Keep
cool." H. W. McV.
