Poetry.
GIVE HIM WARM WELCOME.

Oh /! mother, and sister, and wife,
While you grieve DER the ills that you bear,
And charge all the woes of your sorrowful life
To him who should tighten your care;
Think he is only to blame,
The husband, the father, the son
For the poverty misery, sorrow or shame
That have followed you, one by one?
Did you always greet with delight
His coming from labor to rest
Did you welcome him home at noon, or at night,
AS you welcomed the stranger guest?
And When he came home with sigh,
Because there was nothing to do,
And spoke of the season of idleness nigh
Did his heart receive comfo from you?
Did you meet him with GOODNESS and soon?
Did you answer his plant with a sheer +? z
Though you knew that his soul was with agony torn
At the prospect so gloomy and drear?
How sad, when at close Of the day
The homeward- bound hurried flee,
To hear the poor desolate, loIterer say
There's nobody waiting for me?
Oh! think Of the perils that wait,
Always wait in adversity's court,
For the husband the son, or the brother, whom Fat
Has marked for her pitiless sport!
Be kind to him, then, in the hour,
When his soul is with sorrow oppressed,
Ween clouds Of misfortune and misery lower
Make home his sweet haven of rest.

How GIRLS SHOULD SLEEP.-A recipe
for preventing wrinkles is published in an
exchange from popular and aristocratic
seaside resort. 1.-THE unsightly crows
feet about the eyes, it says, ''are the re-
suits of sleeping upon the right and left
sides. The pressure upon the temples and
cheeks leaves wrinkles at the corners
and underneath the eyes which dis
appear in few hours, but finally be-
come SO fixed that neither hours nor alb
lutions will abate them. II girl children
were compelled to sleep on their backs,
and continue the habit when they reach
womanhood and afterward, they would ar
rive at middle age without crows feet
gathering in the neighborhood of the eyes,
and in most cases their foreheads would
be free from even shallow furrows,n That
is first rate, but it says nothing about get
ting whole livery atableful of Nightmares
from sleeping on the back. Besides, 1t
evidently cares nothing about the men,
and though they are all willing to be ugly

side them, in the matter of age they do
not want to seem chronicalE unevenly
matched,

"Not if it Was My Boy"

Some years ago the late Horace Mann
the eminent educator, delivered an address
at the opening of some reformatory insti-
tuition for boys, during which he remarked
that if only one boy was saved from ruin
it would pay for all the cost and care and
labor of establishing such an institution as
that. After the exercises had closed, in
private conversation, gentleman rallied
Mr.. Mann upon his statement and said to
him:
''Did you not color that little when
you said that all that expense and labor
would be repaid if it only saved onebo W"
''Not if it was my boy" was the solemn
and convincing reply. nae. 4s ...as -..
All. there is wonderful value about
"my boy" Other boys may be rude and
rough; other boys may be reckless and
wild; other boys may seem to require
more pains and labor than they will ever
repay; other boys may be left to drift un-
cared for to the ruin which is near at
hand, but ''my boy''-it were worth the
toll OF lifetime and the lavish wealth
of world to save him from temporal
and eternal ruin, We would go the
world around to save him from peril,
and would bless every hand that was
stretched out to help or welcome. And
yet every poor, wandering, outcast, home
less man, is one whom some fond mother
called ''my oy."-Every lost woman,
sunken in the depths OF sim. was some
body's daughter in her childish innocence.
To-day somebody's son is hungry out
cast, pressed to the verge of crime and
sin. To-day somebody's daughter is
weary, helpless wanderer, driven by ne
cessity into the paths that lead to death:
Shall we shrink from labor, shall we hest
tate at cost, when the work is before us
in the salyatlon of soul? Not if it
is my boy;'' not if we have the love Of
Him who gave His life to save the lost
The C0nlyl0n People.

EARLY RIsING.-To farm ers and those
who live in localities where people can re-
tire at eight or nine O'Clock in the evening,
the old notion about. early rising is still
appropriate, but he who is kept up till ten
or eleven or twelve o'clock, and then
rises at five or six because of the teach
ing of some old ditty about 'searly to
rise," is committing a sin against his
own soul. There is not one man in ten
thousand who can afford to do without
seven or eight hours sleep. All the stuff
written about great men who slept only
three or four hours at night is false. They
have been put upon such small allowances
occasionally, and prosgered; but no man
ever yet kept healthy in body and mind
for number Of years with less than seven
hours sleep. If you cannot get in bed
until late, then rise late. It may be i'm
proper for one man to rise at eight as it is
for another to rise at five. Let the rousing
bell be rung at least thirty minutes before
the public appearance. Physicians say
that a sudden jump out of bed gives ir-
regular motion to the pulse. It takes
hours to get over sudden rising. 1t is
barbarous to expect children to instantly
and on the centre of the floor at the call
of their nurses. with the thermometer be-
low zero. Give us time after you call us
to roll over, gaze at the world full in the
face. and look before we leap.

LOSING A BUTTON.-Walter Scott tells
story of a boy who was with him in
school, who always stood at the head of his
class. 1t was the custom of the scholars to
change places in their classes. according to
failure or success in recitation but though
Walter was number two, he could not get
to the head, Because the boy never missed
But Walter noticed that he had habit,
when puzzled by hardquestion, of Twill
ing button on his jacket, and this seemed
to help him to think out a right answer.
Walter, more through mischief than any
worse motive, cut off the button slyly one
day, to see if that would make any differ
ence. The lesson was spelling lesson,
and several boys at the foot missed hard
word. 1t came round to the head. The
boy instinctively put his hand to the but
ton. 1t was gone. He looked down to find
it, grew confused, missed the word, and
Walter went above him, The boy never
got to the head again, seemed to loose his
ambition, settled down into second-rate
scholar, and never accomplished much in
life. Walter Scott declared that he often
suffered sharp remorse at the thought that
he possibly spoiled the boy for school and
his life by cutting off the button that had
done such good service.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

FARMERS SHOULD LOOK TO THEIR
Recommendations, you have paid
out no small sum of money this year for
farm machinery. Perhaps you have bought
a costly improved harvester and binder.
Now what you desire, as a matter of course
is to have those valuable implements last
many years; you want them to pay for
themselves, so to speak. You will not be
disappointed if you take good care Of the
machinery. When you get through using
an implement for the season put it under
cover and use paint and oil freely. Six
months of lying out in fence corner,
where it is constantly exposed to the wea-
Their, will damage any machine more than
twice that length of time in actual use.

Umbrellas Seventy Years Ago.

Some seventy years ago large umbrella
was usually kept hanging in the hall at
good houses to keep visitors dry as they
passed to and from their carriages. Cot
fee-house keepers provided in this way for
their frequenters; but men disdalned to
carry such a convenience through the
streets. 1t was held effeminate, indeed,
to shirk wetting.
"Take that thing away said Lord
CORVALLIS to ii servant about to hold the
house umbrella over him; Il am not sugar
or salt in a sloWer.' .-.
st is hard to imagine the Guards under
fire and umbrella at the same time. Such
a thing, however, was seen once. During
the action at the MAYORS House, near,
Bayonne, IN 1918, the Grenadiers under
Colonel Tynling occupied an unfinished
redoubt near the high road. Wellington
happening to ride that way, beheld the
officers of the Household Regiment pro-
tecting themselves from the pelting rain
with their umbrella This was too much
for the great chiefs equanimity, and he
instantly sent off Lord A. Hill with the
message:
"Lord Wellington does not approve Of
the use Of umbrellas under fire, and canot
allow gentlemen's sons to make them
selves ridiculous in the eyes of the army"

The SLEEPLEss EDIsON.-One of Edi-
sons strangest ideas is that man doesn It
need to sleep. Probably he hasn't enjoyed
a proper amount of rest at any one time
for three years. His brain goes like a saw.
mill all the time, and he says he has no
time to sleep. He experiments and works
day and night without cessation. When
bedtime comes Edison is as oblivious of
the fact as one outside of the Potter Con-
gress is Of the existence of MI. Cronin,
from Oregon. The great inventor digs
away at his work until nature is complete
ly exhausted, and then he tumbles into bed
for two or three hours of sleep. This may
be at morning, noon, or night, just as the
tit OF WEAKNESS seizes him. Not one man
in ten could do it and live, But Edison
has constitution like the ''one-hoss shay"
OF popular legend, and he don't break
down. He is wonderfully tenacious, alike
OF health and ideas. A friend who knows
him intimately, tells me that when Edison
once gets it into his head that certain
thing can be done, he is going to demon
strate the fact, though the heavens fall. If
ne had made failure of life, we should
have said this was mere muliShness. But
as he is success, we may as well call it
great perseverance. There is a vast diff
ference between tNeedle-dum and tWeedle-

How TO Stop RUNAWAY HORsEs,-The
Mexicans have method Of subduing frac-
tious horses, and such as are inclined to
run away, which might be introduced with
profit here. A hood or winker is 80 ar
ranged that the driver or rider can, in an
instant. draw it directly over the eyes of
the animal, effectually blindfolding him.
Whenever this is done the horse instantly
becomes quiet, and q repetition of the
blindfolding two or three times gradually
results in his becoming quiet and docile.
Such an arrangement would be valuable
appendage to the head gear Of horses dis
posed to run away.
