It is the use of the leisure hour that, equip II a man to use wisely what the working hour ft bring to him. The work Ing hour develops hi character, If the principles are good, wbll ' they increase his fortune, but they do no il give him broad views of life, knowledge am 1 love of the best things. These are the gift and fruits of the leisure hours, for the leisur hours constitute a man's educational oppoi tunities. No man who has a few hours ?jver week which can be used as he pleases sboul remain uneducated. Education Is not a mal ter ot schools, colleges and universities; ther are valuable instruments ana uiuh iu duuch tiou, but they are not so essential that tb man who canuot command their privilege e needs remain uneducated. Some men ar belter educated out of college thau In It. A i highly educated men, no matter bow llbern their opportunities may have Deen, are well educated. The school and the college teac men bow to study and what tools to use, bu when they have done with tbe school and th j college, they are only in tbe beginning c j education. j " Miuli' Fit For Kus?!n. ;J A famous English gardener one heard a noblentau complainingly sa> "I cannot have a rose garden, thougl " 1 have often tried, because the soi round my castle is too poor for roses.1 r* ''That is no reason at all," repliei i[ tbe gardner. "You must go to worl and make it better.

Mabie repeats a stor i- which allows how one man, at leasi u was affected by the beauty of nature. e One day in the early sprint:a Scotch man was walking along the side of mountain in .Skye, when he came t lt a hut in which lived an old man h u had known a great many years. H saw the old man with his head bowe< ? and his bonnet in his hand. He cam up and said to him after a bit : " 11 did not speak to you, Sandy, becaus H I thought you might beat your praj "Well, not exactly that," said tli r' old man, -'but I will tell you what if was doing. Every morning for fort J- years I have taken off my bonnet her .t to ttie beauty of the world." Beauty, wherever it is seen, is a r< (lection of God's face, the shining ( heavenly light down upon the eartl Wherever we come upon it, itshoul touch our hearts with u spirit ot reve e- ence.

A man accompanied. by his w ji should not dra;; licr iuto llie croi '? that liajiirs around the ofllce, as tv <1 thirds of them do. He should first ta *' her to the parlors, leave her there a v- ih go to the office alone. When he t y registered and been assigned a roo he should go and get her. When the boy has shown them 1 room, the guest should not hesitate j!| say so if he does not like It. There i i5- doubtless others empty, and It is t ,'J clerk's place to try to please, i Another great blunder is not to a f the price of the room before looking in it Many a man feels reluctant to g this, but It is purely business. If t y price does not suit, he can kick, I there is no use complaining after t i bill is sent in and saying that he t J] been overcharged, that he has be e there before and always had a lo^ rate and all the many things that n' man Is apt to think about when he [* ready to leave. t When a woman Is alone, she shoi ? not go to the office. All that is nec c sary is to take a seat in the parlor a y send her card to the clerk, stati it whether she wants a bathroom or i ('j and exactly the kind of accommot e tions she wants. ? She should frankly say if she wlsl > a quiet room, a small room, an lnc ^ pensive room or any preference s \ may have. Despite all the printed warnings k hotel walls it is almost impossible " get women to send their valuables y the office safe. Why? Jt is a mystei But the owners prefer, as a rule, - take the chances. Then, if a loss < curs, they blame not their own ca: lessness, but the hotel management.! ? Another thing: Trunks should kept locked. Every hotel tries to f honest help. No hotel can guaranl ' that all its employees are or alwa [l will be proof against temptation, i ery hotel asks its patrons not to ten] ' them. ? How to Make Cocoa Cordial. t. One-half teaspoonful of Dut,ch coc< some boiling water, two blocks of lc e sugar and two tablcspoonfuls of p< * wine. Put the cocoa aud sugar intc china cup and pour directly upon th< [j some boiling water and add the wil I- making in all the usual amount call '! a cupful. Serve at once.

Repeat until the dish is fi Cover with paste, cut a hole in t center and bake half an hour. IIow to Decorate the Table. A charming dinner table arranj lj ment Is of La France roses and ma il enhair ferns, with striped grass. " wavy line is formed down the mid( il of the table of the ferns and grass, a k the roses are deftly intermingled 11 the curves. Another pretty scheme " of holly berries and leaves, with i paragus fern. In the lirst case t e candle shades are pink, in the seco _ red. y How to Care For the Eyea. s When the eyes ache, relieve th< Krr tlm lirla fnr five or ten mi a ? ? - ? e utes. When stinging and red throu p crying, they should be bathed in roj 'f water or wet a handkerchief with roi }' water and lay it over them for a f( minutes.
