Dress" you will see that in not one of them
have stated that the wearing of corsets and
skirts resting upon the hips were the "only
hindranco" TO woman's health. Never have
said thore were no other causes that COM
bined with these to deteriorate woman. But
do say that these are prevailing evil, a
slow, torturing, suicidal evil Loss of sleep
and overwork whichiyou mentioned are great
evils. And one good remedy for overwork
is to abandon all the unnecessary trimming
and embroidery stitches in ones dresses,
under garments, and those Of the children
another remedy is system about doing our
work; good calculation about turning off"
work and making every move and step
count Is a great help. And for all our cares
tho best remedy is TO least them on Him
who careth for u.s." sometimes we have not
spiritual strength to do this, and then he will
lift Off the burden with his own hand, If we
will only ask him
As the hours are rare that can devote TO
the FARMER, allow parting valedicbon, the
heartlest good cheer and best of wishes. 1t
is in the power Of the p. Of II. to achieve in
calculable good being firm for the truth
and the right, this order Is a power not only
as regards agricultural tactics and social
benefits, but morally and politically. "If
your hand is on the pillow hold on" Be true
remembering that ''united we stand; divid-
ed we fall"
Will not some of the ladies please remem-
Der the childrenP Relate some anecdote that
will please them, or give some illustrative
experience in training and developing the
little ones at home or at school. Jesuitism
asks for the first ten years of child's life
But the eminent DIR. Dick said: "Give me
the first three years; and the first six months
are of paramount Importance; it is at this
period that each member of the household
can most effectually assist in removing the
weeds Of fretfulness, discomfort, selfishness
willfulness, ETC., and tho mother especially
can sow in the place the seeds of love, hope
joy, confidence, benevolence. and goodwill"
thus training the heart heavenward. and be-
fore two MANTLE years it will not only trust
ingly neel and pray but by the blessing o
God will also love the Giver of his parents
and Of himself as his "Best Papa" and viii
try to please him whenever reminded o
him. How important their first plasti,
plumule years! and of serious Importance
ply sically MS we'll rs morally. 1t seems t
me that this subject could be conducted il
the Ladies' Department" with as much
profit and interest as that of woman
Place.
Mental philosophy, logic, and debate, eacl
concur with rhetoric in saying that in con-
troversy one should admit whatever truth M
opponent has stated To acknowledge tn
truth whenever stated is only right, yet al
ways true and brave; quote autho rites fair
ly, Justly, and copiously, If Mt all. Thest
rules can be needed though we may neve
have dipped in esthetics or bellies lettreS. Thi
course may cause "a little self-denial at times
especially when we feel that we have bee
treated by an opponent with impudence; bu
it Is always the more excellent way. eth
pen is mightier than the sword" And tn
influence of articles. and the spirit in whic
they were indlted, will live after the han
that ponned them has passed away. Ma,
the sentiments we advocate he onnobin
and elevating, such as will make the hear
better, and the mind broader; such AS will
emit lasting fragrance after we rest iron
our labors, aud, through Christ. are enjoyin
n frution OF spiritual joys in that "summe
land of songs"
