themselves upon the fact. Hearts, they

When a young lady complained to Iord
Bearonsfleld that an acquaintance had
described her as a "heartless person,"
she was, no doubt, delighted to hear his
first words.
"Nonsense, my dear young lady. Tou
heartless? Absurd! I have never known
a heartless person yet. But I have known
those whose hearts were wholly set upon
themselves."
But the am ate faded from her faoe as
she waited for him to say that she was
not one of them. He didn't Lord Bea

remarkably disagreeable at times.
The fact la we all have hearts, and they
must be filled with feeling of one kind
or another. Nature abhors a vacuum. We
can't have them empty, but with what
they will be filled with depends a great
deal upon ourselves. One of the wisest
men who ever lived wrote the following
advice some thousands of years ago, and
It is one of those pieces of advice that
keep are as good today as ever they
were. Truth keeps fresh. His advioe
was that one should "keep one's heart
with all diligence."
He was not one of those people who
advise you to do a thing that can't be
done, or that isn't worth doing. .
"Tou can make up your mind as to

It seems an enormous difference aa re

of success in amassing money or In

does to anything else.
Bluing and Bleaching
The use of bluiag is really an attempt
to deoeivc the eye, to whloh a light blue
appears whiter than a light yellow. Were
It possible to have pure water, unlimited
sunshine, and air free from dust, clothes
would not need to be blued. Most of the
I lulngs on the market contain iron, whloh
In time produces a yellowish discoloration
of the clothes. The lnd go used by our
grandmothers was preferable to modern
Mulnga on account of being a vegetable
compound, and it is still sold by first
cloa stores.
Blue streaks and spots, due to an ex
cess of bluing, or to Imperfect mixing,
can be removed by soaking in a strong
solution of ammonia: but the yellowish
discoloration can only be overcome by a
general bleaching process.
Nature's chief bleaching agent is sua-
llght, and every housewife is familiar
with Its helpful action In whitening the
fabrics which she spreads on the grass
to bleach. .Sunlight Is not always avail
able, however, and is slow at beet, so we
hasten the process calling .chemicals ts

Self-control is to a large extent a matter

Now, when you are curling your mouth

And when you arc smiling physically
you are inducing the mental state cf
