Vain Regrets Never let regret poison
y our prehamper your future. If you have made a mistake, try to retrieve it ; if that is impossible, make the best of a had bargain. Some People are forever repining over this or that action. wishirg they had done differently, and won dering how things would have gone if they had. This is an idle waste of time and works good for no one. We all make mistakes, some more than others, but no one is exempt. " What can't he cured must he endured," is an old proverb that has good sense in, it. Here is a pithy paragraph along the same lines " Never be sorra for any generous thing that you ever did, even if it was betrayed. Never he sorry that you were magnanimous, if the people were mean afterwards. Never he sorry that you ,gave. It was right for nu to give, even if von were imposed opon. You cannot afford to keep on the safe side by being mean." In other words, don't mind if your generosity is unappreciated, or kind acts misunderstood and misrepresented. You have had the pleasure of giving and that is after all the best Payment ; for of the gifts of the heart it alway s remains true, the more you give, the more you have.

Home Hints Watercress is an excellent blood purifier. Lettuce has a soothing effect on nerves, and is excellent for sufferers from insomnia. Tomatoes are good for a torpid liver, but should be avoided by gouty people. Onions are a tonic for the nerves. spinach has great aperient qualities, and is far better than medicine for sufferers from constipation. Beetroot is fattening and good for people who want to put on flesh. Parsnips possess the same virtues as sarsaparilla. Asparagus stimolates the kidneys. Bananas are beneficial to sufferers from chest complaints. Celery contains sulphur and helps to ward oil rheumatism. It is also a nerve tonic. Honey is a good substitute for cod liver oil. The juice of a lemon is excellent for sore throat, not to be swallowed, but used as a gargle. Carrots are excellent for gout. It is always best to underseason, rather than to overseason food. When any thing is accidentally made too salty it caa be counteracted by adding a tablespoonful of vinegar, and a tablespoonful of sugar. Meats of any kind should not be washed, hut wiped with a towel to Preserve the juices and iabality. Keep cheese in a tight tin box, where it is cool and dry.

Rice, tapioca, sago, etc., must be kept close for fear of insects.
Matrimonial Pointers for Bachelors Above all marry a lady. The term would imply a woman who possesses delicacy of feeling, and who would scorn to do a dishonourable action. Accomplishments may he purchased by money, but a good home training alone can develop that certain air of reiinement and cheem exhibited by the " thorough lady." A woman 'who would accept a
man's attentions, or Presents, or allow him to spend his money on her l.ehalf, and then Break of him as being beneath her, merits contempt. Such a Person merely compromises herself mil lays herself open to a serious charge of dishonesty for no " young lady " with any claim to that title, would associate with men who are beneath her, nor should she be so underhand as to encourage an undesirable suitor by accepting his attentions or Presents or by going about at his expense. Her sense of honour would naturally prompt her to decline his attentions in whatever form they are offered. A woman who would think a "lot of a man " merely because he is free with his money and useful as a chaperon, is sometimes fret with and is invariable characterised by contemptible meanness. Sr ch affection would be termed " cupboard love " and is an very lasting.
Sight is a area blessing, but there are times and places in which it is far mere blessed not to see.
