WOMAN  AND  HOME 
All  Is  Well 
WhateVr  yon  dream  with  doubt  possrst. 
Keep,  keep  it  sung  within  your  breast, 
And  lay  you  down  and  take  your  rest  ; 
Forget  in  sleep  the  doubt  and  pain. 
And  when  you  wake,  to  work  again. 
The  wind  it  blows,  the  vessel  goes. 
And  where  and  whither,  no  one  knows. 
’Twill  all  he  well:  No  need  of  care; 
Though  how  it  will  and  when  and  where 
We  cannot  see,  and  can’!  declare. 
In  spite  of  dreams,  in  spite  of  thought. 
’Tis  not  in  vain,  and  not  for  nought, 
The  wind  if  blows,  the  ship  it  got 
Though  where  and  whither,  no  one  knows. 
— Arthur  Hugh  Clough.

household  soap  and  sweet  pickles,  made 
from  watermelon  rind?  .t.  m.

hard  soap:  Five  pounds  clear  grease 
PeAcii  and  pineapple  combined  make 
a  delicious  preserve  or  marmalade.  Use 
one-third  shredded  pineapple  to  two- 
thirds  peaches,  peeled  and  sliced,  three- 
quarters  pound  of  sugar  to  the  pound' of 
fruit,  and  cook  carefully,  with  frequent 
stirring,  until  thickened  and  clear.

While  we  have  no  more  definite 
knowledge  of  the  transmission  of  infantile 
paralysis  now  than  at  the  beginning  of 
the  great  epidemic,  the  doctors  warn  us 
that  flies  und  other  household  vermin  are 
under  strong  suspicion.  This  is  true  in 
most  forms  of  communicable  disease,  but 
it  gives  an  additional  reason  for  the  sup¬ 
pression  of  the  house-fly.  We  know  no 
good  of  this  filthy  invader,  and  it  is  the 
duty  of  all  citizens,  in  city  or  country,  to 
aid  in  fly  extermination.

One  of  our  renders  recently  told  the 
Publisher's  Desk  of  a  man  who  visited 
his  locality  in  the  guise  of  tin  ordained 
minister,  even  assisting  in  the  services  of 
the  local  church,  and  then  collected 
money  for  a  mythical  charity,  deceiving 
benevolent  people  throughout  the  district, 
and  collecting  a  considerable  amount  of 
money.  Such  frauds  are  among  the 
meanest  forms  of  deceit,  but  unfortun¬ 
ately  they  are  not  uncommon.  There  is 
no  real  reason,  however,  why  one  should 
be  deceived  by  them.  The  State  Charities 
Aid  Organization  has  ;m  investigating  de¬ 
partment,  whch  will  give  information  as 
to  tbe  standing  of  any  real  or  imitation 
charity,  and  every  solicitor  of  honest  an¬ 
tecedents  is  able  to  show  proper  creden¬ 
tials.  There  are  so  many  worthy  objects 
of  philanthropy  now  hampered  by  need 
of  funds  that  it  is  saddening  to  see  gen¬ 
erous  charity  diverted  by  the  undeserving.
