Timely Domestic Hints.

If you are troubled with weak eyes never sift ashes while facing the wind; get your wife to do it, or wait till the wind shifts to another quarter. A cheap boy may be hired for fifty cents a day to pull weeds, but it costs a dollar extra to pay a man to watch the boy. He is a wise man who, instead of driving his neighbor’s hens out of the door-yard with a fusillade of old boots, cobble-stones and profanity, fixes up a snug plaee for them to lay in. The prudent man never buys patent medicines unless he sees them advertised in a religious paper. Such medicines may be taken with perfect safety. The editor is a good man and tests the virtue of the nostrums at the risk of his life for the benefit of advertisers, always taking out his pay for advertising in sample cases. If you are living beyond your means it is best to ignore the fact. Brooding over such trifles causes a man to worry, and worry kills more people than work.— Tid-Bits. Me. J. W.
