No pleasanter sight is there than a
family Of young folks who are quick to
perform little acts of attention toward
their elders. The placing of a big arm

deeds show unsurpa ssed and loving
hearts. But If mamma never returns a

appreciated, the children will drop
the habit. Little people are initiative
creatures. and quickly catch the spirit
surrounding them. So if when the
mothers spool of cotton rolls from her
lap the father stoops to pick 1t up, bright
eyes will see the act and quick minds
make note of it. By example, thous-
ana times more than by precept; can
children be taught to speak kindly to
gentle and unselfish. to be thoughtful
and considerate Of the comfort of the
family. The bows, with inward pride of
their fathers courteous demeanor, will
be chivalrous and helpful to their young
sisters; the girls, initiating their mother
will be gentle and patient, even when
big brothers are noisy and needless. In
the home where true courtesy prevails it
seems to meet You on every threshold.
You feel the kindly welcome on enter
ing. No angry voices are heard up
stairs. No sullen children are sent

are given to cover the delinquencies of
housekeeping or servants. A delight

At the same time the system of reliev-

the poverty and suffering are so great as

During these days when throat dis
eases are prevalent and often fatal, the
people should be extremely careful to
well ventilate their sleeping apartments.
A physicians claims that nearly all dam
gerOus throat diseases, as well as many
other diseases, are caused by badly ven-
tilated rooms. In the day time, when
the doors are being opened and draft
of fresh air will invade the apartment,
no matter how careful the housewife is
to exclude it, the rooms are not quite as
poisinous as during the night. In the
evening, the burning lamps disseminate
foul gas in the apartments of the family
and when folks go to bed they carefully
fasten up all the windows and turn of
the drafts of the coal stove. This MKT
urc of coal gas, kerosene gas and the air
of the rooms, breathed over and over
again by number of persons, is certain
ly sufficient to ruin the health of any
one; and yet there are few families that
are not nightly undermining their con-
stitutions in this manner. Don't be
afraid of fresh air at night! ventilate
your sleeping-rooms so that while the
air is being constantly changed there
will be no draft.

This was somewhat the impression
that Alwyn's home made on me. Ay,
even though it was a very beautiful,
kind, quiet home, with no disturbing
element, but there was little brightness
in it; no laughing round breakfast ta-
bles, no running to and fro, busy, mer-
ry, meeting at intervals for a few min
utes OF cheerful chat, and ending by a
fireside circle, into which all the cares
and joys of the day are brought, thrown
in the midst, and danced round, till all
mingle happily together, and the yeriest
witch's caidron of pain becomesa whole
some family brew of sweetest SAVIOR.
We had no such circle; my brother
| was almost always out of evenings.
/ think-and my thinkings spring
out of some experience-that one Of the
saddest descriptions one can give of a
hold-is that the master Of it s'gen-

prise at his go doing, said decidedly

Marjory's eyes turned to her husband

her the whole of that day, for she was
weak and ailing this winter time. t1

OF the fondest incredulity. You mus,

ABEL ENTERING HEAVEN.

FTHEE Thousand times ten Thousand sun
Loud anthems round the throne,
When 10! SO itary tongue
Took up a song unknown;
A song unknown to angel ears,
A song that spoke of vanished fears,
OF pardoned Sins and dried-up tears.
Not one of all the heavenly host
Could those high notes attain,
But spirits from distant coast
United in the strain,
Till he who first begun the song,
To sing alone not suffered long,
Was mingled with u countless throng.
And still as years are feeting by,
The angels ever bear
Some newly ransonied soul on high,
To swell the chorus there;
And still the song shall louder grow,
Till all, redeemed from sin and woe,
40 that fair world Of rapture go.
Oh grant me, Lord, golden harp,
And tune my broken voice,
That l may sing of troubles sharp
Exchanged for endless joys!
The song that ne'er was heard before
A sinner reached the heavenly shore,
But now shall sound for evermore!

DIR. Beard states that from an analysis
of the lives of thousand representative
men in all the great branches of human
effort, he has made the discovery that
the golden decade was between 80 aud ?
40, the silver between forty and ffty,.
the brazen between so and 60. The
superiority of youth and middle life
over old age in original work appears
all the greater, when we consider the
fact that nearly all the positions of
honor and profit and prestige-profes-
sorships and public stations--are In the
hands of the old. Reputation, ltkes
money and position. is mainly confined.
to the old. Men are not widely known
until long after they have done the work
that gives them their fame. Portraits
of great men are dclusion; statues arr
lies. They are taken when men have.
become famous, which, on the average,
is Mt least twenty-five years after they
did the work which gave them their
fame. Onginal work requires cnthus-'
iasm. If all the original work done By
men under forty-tive were annih,lateds ;,
the world would be reduced to barbar-
ism. Men are al their best when en-
thusiasm and experience are most evcn-
ly balanced; this period on the average
Is from IS TO 10. After this the law Is.
that experience increases bat enthusiasm
declines. In the life oi almost every
old man there comes a point, sooner or
later, when experience ceases to haso
any educating power .I -F
