SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY. A man who hop?B a great deal wlD not work. An old person can claim to be young, but he can't look it Environment is a great magazint word, and people dislike iL A picnic is not a success unless there Is a pie or two to throw away. . Every man signs a lot of petitions and letters he would rather not sign. If a man's bluff does not work, he is liable to find himself' in an awkward position. Scientists have succeeded in nearly nearly everything ?magiuable excep! getting rid of noise. This can usually be said of ever) boy who can play the piano well: He can't do anyining else. What an indignity seems to be put upon a noble animal when a horse is driven by a drunken man! We always avoid the man of whom' it is said, "He must have his little Joke." We become tired of jokes. About the only thing a bachelor and the father of a family regard from the same point of view is a baseball game. A man is never discharged because of old age as long as he does his work as well as the average man in the shop. Do a creditable thing, and nobody cares much. But if there is a "Joke'' on you, everybody will be interested at once. When a woman Ip out ridmg.every time she reaches a railroad crossing, she says: "What a dangerous place for a crossing." When It is said of an Atchison man that he is going the pace it is meant that he attends an airdome or moving 'picture show every night The friends of an Atchison woman should tell her that she is being court ed for her money. It is said that she has at least S90 in the bank. Show us a man who is interested In what his wife is saying to him, and we can show you a woman who is repeat tng to her husband a compliment she heard paid him. . When a woman talks to herseK the neighbors say she is insane, bui didn't she acquire the habit in talking to her husband, who kept on reading and never answered? Occasionally a man finds his wife looking in a certain Queer Way, and asks: "What is the matter?" She looks at him a moment, bursts into tears, and says, "Nothing." Of course, it is nobody's business, but when a very worthless, shiftless man has his shoes shined at a shining parlor, some one is sure to say: "Well, I should think he could black his own shoes." New wail for the reformers. It is possible to take the children so often to picnics during the summer time that it takes all winter to break them of the habit of eating with their fin gers. When little brothers quarrel, It is over one getting the larger share of the eating, out when little sisters quar rel, find out which one borrowed some thing from the other to wear, without asking for it. Smith and Jones do not like each other. Smith is telling a tough story around town about Jones. Jones, com menting on the fact today, said: No body will believe him." That's where Jones is wrong. In reading war stories, we have no ticed this: There will be a perfect nail of bullets; shot and shell turn the charge, the accoun will state that one charge, th eaecoun?. will state that one man was wounded. Literary criticism: Love stories speak of the hero "gathering" the heroine in his arras, and we object to the word. It is proper to gather off the line or to- gather gooseberries, but not to gather a woman. Husbands don't give their wives much encouragement In piling puffs and rolls on their' heads, but their chil dren encourage them. Next to eating candy, a child knows no greater joy than to be allowed to handle its mother's false hair. ? You are picked at a good deal, but it won't hurt you. Christian Science is getting along, althougn we never go on the street that some one does not take a viccious smash at Christian Sei ence. Behave yourelf, and work as much as you should, and you'll get along. Mrs. Lysander John Appleton has a bet of $25 up with her best friend. It is that when she goes to her husband and tells him she is sick, and in need of urgent attention, he will say: "It is all your imagination." ? Atchison (Kan.) Globe. Following the example set by the New York Central on its Adirondack lines, the Maine Central Railroad has ning through forest regions of oil burning locomotives. ISURAfCE FIRE, LIFE, HEALTH, and ACCIDENT.-LIVE STOCK INSURANCE R. Ro Knickerbocker, HOLLY HILL, S. C. The Times and Democrat?The Paper that Believes the Advertiser Should Know what he is Paying for. HOUSEHOLD NOTES?. Clear spruce balm, obtainable a1 any drug store, dissolved In alcohol, makes a good varnish for pictures. ? After writing a name on linen with Indelible Ink, to make it so washing will not run the color, press the wrir Ing with a warm iron. When mis n done, the letters never blur. To embroider an initial upon a pair of silk stockings, slip a glass egg Into the stocking and draw the stock ing firmly over it while outlining tha' letter. This gives a perfect, outline. You will find great improvement in a one-seam sleeve that is to fit snugly to the arm if you will slightly round the edge of the sleeve that comes over the' elbow. This is not observed on ihe long sleeve that fits snugly to the arm, but it gives decided comfort to the arm at the elbow. In making a stencil pattern, instead of weighting the material with irons to keep It perfectly straight, get- a handful of button drawing pins, or tailor's pins, and fasten the material securely to a large board or . upon the kitchen table. Put plenty of smooth papers beneath the material. Pin the pattern up on the goods, and you will have better success with the work. Plate powder that will not scratch the finest polish on silver is made oi whiting. Pour over the whiting enough water to dissolve it and add some ammonia. Let the sediment set tle, pour off the water and let the ?whiting dry. When dry It can be ap plied to the smoothest silver and gold. It should be rubbed with a soft chamois or cotton cloth. A pretty garnish can be made with the inner leaves of brussel sprouts. If the new fountain pen leaks around the joined ends put the screw end in melted candle grease join the two pieces and it will not leak. ; - If a muff is carried to the opera, thin white- gloves should be slipped over the delicately tinted onesv, to keep them clean, for muff linings get badly soiled. A small medicine bottle is useful tor holding embroidery needles. Keep ?t In the work basket. If one has a/piece of roofing slate and will heat It in the oven, it can be placed under the bread pan and the Winter bread will rise more quick ly. Cover well to keep in the heat To make a good floor filler put one pint of broken glue in an old tin bucket and cover with one gallon of boiling water. Put the bucket into a second vessel of water and the glue will dissolve without burning When it boils add enough sifted saw dust to make a good putty. Fill the floor cracks with this, smooth with ?teel wood scraper or thin-bladed ease knife. It is claimed a splendid ironing board cover is made by tacking bur lap to the board, and then covering It with a double thickness of old white flannel: This makes a firm, smooth covering which never wrink les like the blanket covering. A leather bag of convenient size mould be made to keep very . fine pointed .scissors in, for it not only protects the sharp ends but saves the hands. When laundering starched articles in winter, always add borax to the starch and the cuffs will not low shape. A relish made of one can of pimen toes, mixed with finely chopped cel ery, is well liked. It is covered with French dressing and served on let tuce leaves. As an addition to Jelly, take- a handful of figs, wash them clean and plump them with tepid water. It take? a few hours to do this. Cover them with strawberry gelatine. The figs can be cut and mixed with broken | nut kfr^pls. A woman who likes fads, yet does not care for. the accumulation of odd bits of bric-a-brac, purchased a plain silver napkin ring which she takes with her on her travels, and. at each city where she made an extended vis it, she has the name of the city, date, etc., engraved up on 'the ring. It is getting full of names and Ib very artistic. Save one or two turkeys wings. They are the best brushes '.n the world to use around a stove, and they are splendid for sweeping closet shelves. Weight the wing tip with an ! iron until it dries. When books become badly soiled on the edges if not gilt edged, clos< the book tightly, then erase the marks with an ink eraser. This will cut off all rough edges, all soiled marks and leave the book very clean. In making a glace card ornament if the cards gets soiled with the hands or from mucilage, you can dampen a white t-loih and wipe off the surface of the card, leaving it perfectly clean. Do not rub the card, for the shiny surface is very' thin, much like a veneer. The cushioned back of a Morris chair has been found valuable in the sick room to place back of the Invalid in bed. To candy fruit for Immediate use, make a syrup which will crackle in a Slass of water. D' i each piece of fruit with a fork into the taffy, then drop into a plate of powdered sugar. Use a spoon to dip j"lcy fruit. Buy a coarse blanket If you do not have one ard keep it to place on the floor when the baby Is playing there. Put the tovs on it and if it !? necessary to quiNkly clean the room of toys, pick up the blanket. A little dainty served on a dish of salad consisted ot a small piece of cheese laid betwr"n the two halves of in Easiiah walnut. D. P. O'CAIN Land Surveying Correct ly Done. Prices Mod ate.
