If you like his sermon, tell him so;
if you don't well, you need not be
"brutally frank." Try to make hin
wprk as effective as possible and up
hold him in every effort to raise the
moral tone of his flock.
When you do pay him his stipulated
salary, do not make him feel like ho
wore receiving a charitable donation.
The laborer is worthy of his hire,
even though ho is but a preacher.
Call upon him, when you can, and
encourage him to greater efforts by
telling him any little pleasant thing
you have heard spoken of him. If
somebody has praised his work, don't
forget to repeat it He will be pleased
that he is appreciated. If something in
his sermon has particularly pleased
or enlightened you, don't forget to
mention it, and thank him for it
Try tb show your wish to be of as
sistance to him in the good work by
always filling your seat at the ser
vices, and evincing an interest in
whatever interests him in regard to
the church work.
Right and Left.
It is claimed to be a physiological
'fact that people are "Janus-faced"
that one side of the faceBhows certain
characteristics which are entirely lack
ing in the other, and that each con
tradicts the other. The left side is
said to be much the prettier, and the
cause of this difference is explained in
this wise: Scientists tell us that the
brain is divided into two sections the
right and left hemispheres. Each sec
tion operates quite differently, be
cause of the' different functions per
formed. The right brain hemisphere
has to do with the physical life, while
the left is concerned with the mental.
The brain is in close communication
with all parts, of the "body, and, once
, thetoffects on any given muscle is un
derstood, its workings can be easily
read.' The- physical characteristics of
the right brain produces an effect upon
the right side of the face much mor
quickly than the mental workings of
the left do on the left side, and the ef
fect on the right side is to harden the
muscles, and through them the feat
ures. The left side of the face has
the softer aspect.
Be that as it may, it is a well known
fact that the left hand is always the
prettier, and the left limbs and feot
the more shapely.

Dip into it a bit of soft linen and
wash your scalp with it thoroughly,
dividing or parting aside the hair all
over the head to reach the roots. Next
take the yolk of an egg, slightly beat
en in a saucpr, and with your finger
tips, rub it well into the scalp. Let it
remain for a few minutes, then wash
off with a little pure, soft water, and
rinse the hair well to free it from the
egg, then rub dry.
A device to keep rugs flat on tho
floor consists of a series of flat strips
of metal or wood, which are insertoi
in pockets arranged near tho corners
and sides of tho rugs. These pocket?
are shaped to receive the ends of tho
strips and may bo sewed to tho rug or
fastened by means of wire staples. Tho
entire device is so thin as to be scarce
ly noticeable when tho rug is on tho
floor. This idea may bo applied also
to large rugs, a pair of. strips being
placed In each corner atT right angles
to each other.
For bureau covers, for rooms used
every day, there is nothing nicer than
pure white, heavy linen, with a lace
insertion set in about two and one
half inches from tho edge, the ends to
be finished with a lace ruffle. Heavy
serviceable torchon lace should be
used. , Have several of these so that
fresh ones can bo supplied at tho least
sign of soil.
For a mending basket,, get a large
splint basket, or make one to suit

with some pretty cambric, covering
with bright cretonne, with a number
of small pockets sewn inside to the
lining (being sure to catch the stitches
through the wire for support). Into
these pockets put thimble, threads,
darning cottons and woolens, buttons,
buckles and clasps, a paper of pins, a

After tho Feast.
On Thanksgiving Day, every Ameri
can family endeavors to dino upon
turkey, and, having so dined, there
must be, of necessity, more or less
remnants of tho feastespecially the
bones. Hero Is a fitting occasion for
tho trial of some recipes for the gath
ering of these fragments into appetiz
ing dishes.
TURKEY SOUP Having gathered
up tho scraps, bones and what dressing
is left, cover them with one quart of
cold water, and simmer for three
hours; strain, return to tho kettle.
Pick and chop what meat there Is on
tho bones very fine and return to tho
soup with one slice of onion, three
stalks of celery, cut very fine, and two
tablespoonfuls of rice cooked. Bring
to a boil and simmer three minutes.
When ready to serve, season to taste
with popper and salt, and "add one cup
full of rich, sweet cream.
TURKEY SOUFFLE To every pint
of finely chopped turkey, allow one
tablespoonful of butter; one half cup
of sweet cream, tho well-beaten whites
of three eggs, one tablespoonful of
chopped parsley," salt and pepper to
taste. Melt the butter and 'add it to
the turkey with the cream and sea
soning; mix well, rubbing It to a
paste with a spoon; add carefully tho
eggs beaten to a stiff, dry froth, and
mix thoroughly. Fill a well-greased
pudding pan or bake In custard cups
standing In water. Bake thirty min
utes. COLD CHICKEN Remove tho bones
from tho remnants, chop fine with
radishes, celery or parsley and a slice
of onion; heat a cup of cream or rich
milk, stir in a teaspoonful of corn
starch, then stir In tho chicken and
salt to taste. Slice a stale loaf of
bread, remove the crust, toast the
slices, butter and flavor them with
a drop of lemon juice and arrange on
a platter; put a spoonful of chicken on
each slice and serve alone, or with
stewed prune, pear, apple, fried ba
nana, or baked tomato.
HAM SANDWICHES Take tho
scraps of boiled ham, chop very fine;
ror each cupful, take the yolks of two
hard-boiled eggs, one tablespoonful of
lemon juice, one quarter teaspoonful
of mustard, one quarter pound of but
ter. Rub the eggs smooth with the
butter, mix with the ingredients and
season to taste. Spread thin on slices
of bread, fold together or roll.
Home-Made- Sausage.
A simple rule for sausage meats calls
for seven and'wne-half pounds -of lean
pork, two and one-half pounds fat
pork, three ounces of salt, half an
ounce of summer savory, three-fourths
of an ounce of sage and one ounce of
ground black pepper. Chop the meat
thoroughly; add tho seasoning, mix
with hands, and run It through the
chopper again.
Breakfast sausage, as wo find it In
our markets, Is a very coarse article
of doubtful Ingredients, the poorest
cuts, and pieces of pork not consid
ered fit for any other purpose, is
ground into sausage. It Js common for
butchers, with an eye to economy, to

card, and I ask it as an act of human

I will mail tho sick one an order
good at any drug storo for six bottles
Dr. Shoop's Restorative. He may tnko
it a month at my risk. If It succeeds,
tho cost is $5.50. If the sick one oven
thinks It has failed, I will pay tho
druggist myself.
Please note what that means. I fur
nish a costly treatment that I spent
a llfotlmo in perfecting, nnd whonover
it falls tho test is entirely free. But
failures are rare. My records show
that 39 out of each 40 get well, and pay
for tho remedy gladly.
No other remedy, in chronic and
difficult cases, could stand a test Ilk
that. The reason Is this: My Restora
tive alone strengthens the insido
nerves. There is no other way to
bring back that nerve power which
alone makes each vital organ do its
duty. There Is no other way to make
weak organs well.

use up their tainted pork this way.
It Is very little trouble, if there Is a
chopper In tho house, to make It at
home. A meat chopper to cost not
more than $2.50 is a very useful ar
ticle in tho kitchen; a week's supply of
sausaga can bo made at once, and'
properly packed in a broad-mouthed
jar with a layer of lard on top, will
keep until used up, If kept in a cooJ
place.
An excellent way to cook sausage is
to put them In an ordinary biscuit tin
and set them in the oven, turning tho
tin, if necessary to brown both sides
alike. If tho oven Is hot, they will
cook thoroughly in ten minutes. A lit
tle chopped onion a tablespoonful to
a pound of sausage, browned and
sprinkled over the sausage just before
it is put in the oven, may bo used.
Serve with the rich brown gravy in
the pan. Sausage should be thorough
ly well done inside, but should not bo
cooked until dry and hard.
Half veal and half pork may bo used
for tho sausage.
Robbing the Miners.
Tho coal trust protests against the
honest weighing of mined coal .and
asserts that the fictitious ton of 3,000
pounds or more demanded from tho
miner is barely sufficient to produce
2,240 pounds of "prepared coal." Even
If that be true, .it Is not a valid excuse
for refusing to pay the miner for all
the coal he produces. Sizes of coal
smaller than chestnut are not classed
as "prepared." After obtaining from
the fictitious ton delivered by the
miner a full 2,240-pound ton of "pre
pared" coal, tho operator turns the al
leged waste into "pea" and "buck
wheat" coal and sells It at a good price.
All that the operators receive for tho
smaller sizes Is clear profit, and It is
taken from the pocket of tho miner.
