The young ' isitor exclaimed at their varietyand beauty. "I mean to gather all I can carry when we come back ami have a little more time," she said. "Better do it now if you want them," said the elder woman; "it isn't likely that we'll come back this way." It wtis one of those simple in cidents which seems to epito mize life. We must pick now, if we want them at all, the (lowers that God has scattered along our way. The pleasant hours, the dear friendships, the offered confidences, the happy gatherings all the brightness and blessings that we often push aside, but mean to find leisure to enjoy some time we must take them day by day us they come or we shall lose them altogether; we can never turn back to find them.

Comparative Digestibility of Food Made with different Baking Powders fVpmjrSenw of EkboratejChemkal Tests: An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made with each of three different kinds of baking powder cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum and submitted separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each for the same length of time. The relative percentage of the food digested is shown as follows : Bread made with Royal Cream of Tartar Powder: j 100 Per Cent Digested Bread made with phosphate powder: 68 Per Cent. Digested" Bread made with alum powder: rWfo Per Cent. Digested These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone : Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found to largely retard the digestion of the food made from them. Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it is the source of very many bodily ailments. THIRSTING MEMORY. Do you know where I'd go if a feller could go? If a feller could go like he wants to, you know? It's a ruther long trip through some ruther long whiles, For the trip that I'd make isn't measured by miles, I'd go back, if I could, to my barefooted days, And I'd get on the wagon an' cluck at the grays An' I'd drive to the orchard an' fill up the bed With pippins an' winesaps, all yeller an' red. Yes, russets, an' bcllflowers, northern spies, too I'd let down the bars an' I'd drive right on through, Then out on the pike, an' I'd rattle along A-whistlin', or mebbe a-hummin' a song. I'd drive through th' town an' ih' town boys would run An' holler an' ast me to throw 'em just one. I'd tell 'em to pile on, an' eat all they'd like An' some of 'em'd stay as we drove down the pike. We'd turn at th' lane an' drive up to Bill Jay's Me cluckin', an' flickin' th' switch on the grays, I'd hop off th' wagon an' say to old Bill I'd brung in a load fer his old cider mill. We'd grind up th' apples, an' press out th' juice Us boys would get straws an' we'd turn ourselves loose. The bees would come, too an' us boys would get stung, But what does a feller care, now, if he's young? Do you know where I'd go? But there ain't any road, An' there ain't any grays, nor a wagon to load, An' there ain't any orchard with lazy old trees, An' I'll bet a dollar there ain't any bees! When he gets to wishin' for what ain't no more. How a feller would go-if a feller could go, To the days an' the places he once used to know! rmr uno rniciiuo. "Your friend," the subscription briefly read And the heart of the reader thrilled; "Your friend" the lips repeated o'er, "Your friend" the voice was stilled. New visions came to the gladdened soul, Visions of hopes after (ears, Visions of beauty hitherto unseen; Visoins of smiles, through tears. There are those on earth who have justly won, Laurels that wreath their brow, Who can tell you in Kingsley's beautiful words What drew them on, and how. "I had a friend" were the simple words, And friends that have power to inspire Our souls to loftier, nobler aims Are like gold, that has been tried in fire. The lights that reflect from their glorified lives Are leading on thousands today God give them the wisdom and help they may need To keep their lights burning, 1 pray. DON'T WORK TOO HARD. DIDN'T NEED TO READ LINES. ou Must Let Oo Somewhere. Don't work too hard. God meant us to work every day until we are weary, but not until we are so weary that a night's rest cannot revive and restore us to strength and vigor again. When you rise morning after morning with weary limbs and heavy heart, you may know that you are breaking the laws of health and that your pun ishmcnt is and will be heavy. You must let go somewhere. The world, your friends and family have no right to demand from you more than you can do, and if you are a wise woman you will not give all the strength and warmth and beauty of your life, to labor and have only the dregs left for love. Keep enough strength, take enough rest to preserve a cheerful heart and a bright face, when the family gather about the fireside after the day's work is done. Do one thing at a time. Don't hurry, don't worry. Face the issue of life fairly and squarely; do your share of the work, that is, what you can do without injuring your self, and put the rest resolutely be hind you. Take some relaxation. Every human being needs recrea tion and amusement of some sort. Get it from books or people with new and helpful thoughts, that will keep your ideas bright and your heart cheerful. Amateur Falmist Had Other Lines of Information Which Aided j Her In Revelations.
