New Stockings as New stockings will last twice long again without wearing into holes if they are shrunk before wearing them. Just soak them in warm water for an hour or two, and the result will be Most satisfactorN Silk or lisle thread ones should be treated in the same way. When it is necessary to mend stockings it is a good plan to hold the darning wool for a minute or two over the spout of a kettle of boiling water, and then let it dry. This shrinks the wool, and when the stockings are washed, there is no fear of the mended part shrinking, or tearing away from the surrounding parts.
The Tonsils The tonsils, in health, are small and of the same colour as the healthy lining of the mouth. They do not take up much room in the throat, and do not interfere with the passage of food. Should they be unduly large, or of a darker colour, or covered with whitish, yellowish,
or greyish or greenish patches, or studded with minute white or yellowish clots, there is some trouble with the child's throat that requires the immediate attention of the Physician., The same is true in case the arc' of the palate or the little tongue he swollen red, or show any white, yellowish, greyish, or greenish patches, or if the wall of the gullet, instead of hanging down perfectly flat, appears to bulge forward, pushing the arch of the palate in front of it.
'Tis loving and serving The brightest and best, 'Tis onward, unswerving, And this is true rest.
-Goethe.
Curb Your Anger Once upon a time there lived a farmer who had several sons and daughters. He was a good man, and it grieved him' to see that one of his sons, though possessing many ex'cellent qualities, had no control of his temper. One daN he said, "My son, I will give, you a new bicycle if you keep your temper for the day, and not let an angry word pass your lips." The boy was delighted, and joyfully entered into the bargain. His brothers and sisters playfully arranged to make him Freak his contract, but in vain. The more they teased him, the better be behaved, and at tea time, not an angry word had escaped him. He had manfully kept his promise, and had won the bicycle. His father, after tea, handed over the prize, and praised him for his self-control, but added, "Ought on not be ashamed when you look back on your Past life, to think that you have so offended God by your want of selfcontrol, and that you can curb your anger for the sake of a bicycle, but could not do so for the love of God and an everlasting reward?" The lesson was not lost on the lad; he made great efforts to overcome his fault, and when, later on, people remarked to him that they never saw him angry, he used to say Who yields to angry Passion's sway, Will have but strife the livelong :

GREAT SOLDIER'S GREAT EXAMPLE.
In a recent issue 'of the, " Irish Monthly" there ap'pe'ars a very graphic and sympathetic brief review of the life and work of that great soldier and Catholic scholar, -the late Sir William Butler, from the pen of Gertrude Sweetman, a member of a distinguished' literary family in Ireland. The sketch is based on the deceased soldier's own "Memoirs," recently published. He was married, it may be recalled, to the gifted Painter of "The Roll Call" and other fine pictures in which man's noblest servant, the horse, plays a conspicuous second part. The writer says, amongst other things " Though lightly touched on, any reader of these memoirs must feel that religion was the mainspring of Sir William Butler's life. On that striking page where he rehearses in anticipation the actual, sensations of death, how impressive is the allusion to 'the sound of the Mass bell, more efficacious and far-reaching than the loud drum -beat of England-carrying. its message of mercy to the sinners of this world.' "Perhaps the simplieit, of his belief was the best proof of the strength of his intellect. He did know, to parody his own phrase, 'how touch he did not know,' and no one had a 'more lively sense of human limitations. "The blind has been .lrawn with so inflexible a hand on his private life that it savours of sacrile:le to lift it. But for the benefit of those who may- have missed Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood's sympathetic notice of his old friend and colleague, I am tempted to quote the following extract for the sake of the exquisite sature of the tribute conveyed " 'With all the sincere admiration which I feel for 'my comrade, I believe that, gifted as he was, William Butler could not have written that beautiful appreciation our i-'aviour and His home at Nazareth if he had not been ennobled by living for so many years with Elizabeth 'I hompson, his wife.'

"Funny thing happened in my town last week," said the chatty man in the railway carriage. "What was that?" asked the inter-

But Brown was well, read, and he deceived them both-in fact, he got all the money they had." "And now ?" "And now Black. and White are blue.tt ADVPIRTIRF IN
