REW TEAR IN THE HOME.

There are few that enter upon ft
fcew year without the hope of the
resolution that however (food or poor
the life, work aud pieamre, have
been during the past, the coming
year shall witneaa Improvement in
their quality. Those who feel that
the record of the previous year has
been, in the main, pood, are stimu
lated to further efforts; those whose
hearts are tore because of what lies
before them long earnestly for an
improved condition of affairs during
the days to come. So, whatever the
life has been, however the work has
fared, the true-hearted everywhere'
meet the new year with a hope and
a prayer that in its months they may
"Rise on steppirsr stores of their dead
seives to higher ihinics."
It is not to be expected, writes
Elizabeth Lord Condit, ill Minneapolis
Housekeeper, that the homekeeper
or the housewife shall ,be exempt
from the number of those who desire
to reach greater excellence. With
her it may not mean more of individ
ual work, but it may mean more of
giving the mind to work tbat is un
pleasant or dkliked. It may mean a
stronger effort to systematise work,
or to perform it in orderly fashion
on the part of those who have little
method in work, or who do things
in a desultory, haphazard way.
- It may mean for some the putting
of conscience into the work; for
others the gradual apprehension of
the uplifting truth that only in the
discharge of duty whether it be the
performance of homely household
tas that often seem to exhaust
body and mind or in more congenial
employment they advance toward
the realization of the highest ideals;
and, if the spirit has serene control,
this is accomplished with the least
friction possible, the least waste Oi
physical and mental strength.
When a woman comes to recognize
her personal responsibility in the
faithful, cheerful doing of her work
as essential to the fulfillment of the
Ilivine plan not simply for herself,
but for the betterment of the world
she becomes a conscious worker
with ijod, and desire for self-advance-ment
gradually recedes into the
background. She does not efface
herself, she respect herself, and
thus commands whatever her work
the respect of every right-minded
person, and grows into a broader,
stronger, sweeter, nobler goul day by
day. Her outlook e.-ibraces both
horizons the earthly and t-heheavenly.
This much of comfort every ear
neat and tired worker should take for
her refreshment at the beginning of
the year. When eyes ache because
of close scrutiny, nothing rests the
strained or weary nerve like the far
off gaze. The broader field of vision
calls into play a fresh set of muscles,
the tension is relaxed, and, after a
little, the eye can return to the nar
rowest limits with renewed rigor and
brightness.
60 it is with the wearied home
keeper. There is such a sameness in
the necessary round of housework;
ueh a daily repetition of toil; three
meals a day to be prepared by one's
own hands or planned for another to
provide; the family "fig leaves" to
be made ready and looked after for
daily or special use; the bouse to be
kept fresh, in order, and ready for
family occupation or friendlj Tiait;
and the general oversight of the
home with all that implies of fore
thought which may inelude a range
of months. If, to all this, is added
the care and training of a growing
family, and also a very limited finan
cial ability, the strain on sv strong
woman's strength is tremendous; on
weaker woman is often more than
she can bear.
See, then, the need of deliberately
changing the range of vision at least
once a year. Perhaps the relief ob
tained then will convince of the wis
dom of more frequent looking off be
yond the narrower horizun of home
cares, duties and pleasures, into the
broader one of God's great world,
and the still broader one where mind
and spirit learn to interpret the
great truths of life and love to the
material comprehension and redemp
tion. May the New Year bring this
Joy and refreshment to alll

1 "Don't take a light out of the house
before one has been brought in," is the
solemn injunction on New Year's night
of the peasantry of Lincolnshire, Eng
land. Death is certain to result if this
advice is not followed.
To permit a woman to enter the
house first on New Year's day is said
to be a sure forerunner of evil. The
same results are said to follow the
throwing of dirty water, ashes Qg
any kind of refuse.
In sweeping the house the dust must
be swept from the door to the hearth
or death will be the comequence. A
custom largely observed at present is
after making the fire in the morning
to spread the ashes over the threshold.
If in the morning thtre is an impres
sion of a foot leading from the house,
a death in that family is so firmly be
lieved in that preparations are made
for it, but if the footmark leads to
wards the house a birth during the
year is sure, and preparations are
mads accordingly. N. 0. Picayune.

Ton say you encouraged our Mend
to make another Mew Year's resolu
tion?" "I did, answered the slangy njHD,
whose heart is all right.
"But don't you know hell break it
at the end of fix weeks at the least
calculation.
"I hope not. And even if he does,
hell be iix weeks ahead of the game.

A COMPROMISE.

RMilartoas aa How Tsr Wr

'John Henry," said Mrs. Buggint, a
dny or two before New Year's, "have
you made your good resolutions yet
for the coming year?"
"No. Have you?" responded her
husband, bearing down with consid
erable emphasis on the final word.
"Have I? Why, no; I thought it
was only the men who needed to make
good resolutions.1
"And the women are perfect to be
gin with, eh? Well, Mrs. Huggins.that
may be your view of the matter, but
you will find, when you come to discuss
the question with an intelligent mate
citizen especially if he happens to be
married that there is a radical dif
ference of opinion on the subject.
Speaking for myself, I think there is
just as much, or even more, need of
the women making good resolutions
at this time of the year than there is
for the men to do so. Now, just for
a change, suppose we each draw up
a set of say seven good resolutions
for the other to sign for the coming
year, and see how they look, la it a
bargain?"
"Agreed, said Mrs. Iluggins, and
they set to work. At the end of tin If
an hour they exchanged papers, and
these are the "Got! Resolutions" that
Mrs. Iluggins found staring her in the
face, writes Will S. (iidley, in the Wom
an's Home Companion:
"1. Kesolved, that I will keep my
temper on all occasions and not talk
back to my husband, no matter how
great the provocation may be. The
least said the soonest mended.
"2. That I will refrain from finding
fault or showing him that I am an
noyed when he is late to dinner or is
away from home evenings oftener or
later than seems really necessary.
"3. That I will not attend'every 'bargain-sale'
I hear of, nor buy a new
dress or hat every time I see some
other woman wearing one that like.
"4. That I will look after my hus
band's clothing more carefully, and
see that in the future he does not go
with half the buttons either hanging
by one thread or off entirely.
"5. That I will give up running
around the neighborhood and gossip
ing, and attend strictly to my own
affairs and my home duties.
"6. That I will remember that $20
bills are like angels' visits, somewhat
scarce, and that I will not pout and sulk
for half a oay every time I ask my
husband for one and fail to get it.
"7. That my husband, beintr wiser
than L I will defer to his judgment
and allow him to have his own way
in all things, as a good wife should
do.",
The good resolutions which Mrs.
Buggins had drawn up for Mr. Bug
gins' guidanre were much briefer, but
they were right to the point. They
were as follows:
"1. Resolved, that I will give up
smoking.
"8. That I will resign from the club
and stay home evenings with my fun
ny.
"3. That I will keep out of politics
and! spend no more money trying to
get into office or to keep on the right
side of 'the boys.'
"4. That I will cheerfully furnish
such sums of money as my wife in her
judgment may deem necessary for
household and personal expanses.
"5. That I will not growl because
my wife spends more time than I think
she really ought to in calling or in
entertaining company.
"6. That I will receive my wife's
mother with open arms and a glad
smile, no matter how often the may
visit us nor how long he Mitys.
7. That I will be guided wholly by
my wife's sound judgment in all ques
tions affecting my personal habits or
home-life."
"Well?" said Mrs. Buggins, inquir
ingly, after they had finished reading
the two sets of resolutions.
"I'll never sign 'em! I'd rather be
a mummy in a gilded sarcophagus
than attach my signature to such a
set of resolutions!" declared Mr. Bug
gins, stoutly
"And 1 11 never sign the horrid set
you drew up; never!" exclaimed Mrs.
Buggins, with a very red face.
1 ell you what we'd better do," said
Buggins, somewhat more mildly.
"Let's work the problem out by can
cellation. I'll cancel my seven 'gbod
resolutions' against your seven, and
we'll let things slide along as before,
though we will both probably be the
better in some respects for having
drawn 'out each other's side on the
subject. What do you say, Amanda?"
"I m willing If you are, said Mrs.
Buggins, softly, and in this sensible
fashion the threatening war-cloud was
dispersed.
