Our Homestead.
By PHOEBE CARY.

Our old brown homestead reared its walls
From the wayside aloof,
Where the apple boughs could almost cast
Their fruitage on the roof;
And the cherry tree so near it grew,
Then when awake I've lain
In the lonesome nights and heard the limbs
As they creaked against the pane;
And those orchard trees; oh, those orchard
I've seen my little brother rocked
In their tops by the summer breeze
The sweetbrier upon the window sill,
Which the early birds made GLAD, -,
And the dark damask-rOse by the gaIueH iSh0e
Were all the flowers we had
I've looked at many flower since thSnI
Far brought and rich ana rare,
To other eyes more beautiful,
But none to me so fair;
For those roses brighton, those roses bright
I've twined them with my sisters locks,
That are laid in the dust from sight.
We had well, deep old well,
Where the spring was never dry;
And the cool drops down from the messy
stones
Were falling constantly;
And there never was water half so sweet
As that in my little cup,
Drawn up the curb by this rude old sweep
Which my fathers hand set up;
And the deep old well-oh, that deep ola wen
remember yet the splashing souna
or the bucket as il fell.
Onr homestead had an ample hearth,
Where at night we loved to meet;
There our mothers voice was always kind,
And her smile was always sweet
and there I've sat on my fathers knee
And watched his truthful brow,
With my childish hands in bis raven hair
That hair is silver now!
Bat that broad hearth's light-oh, that broad
hearth's light
Aud my fathers look and my mothers smile,
They are in my heart tonight

Tools for Young Peop.e.

Buy tools for your boys, and if you
have no boys, buy tools for your girls.
1t will not harm any girl TO learn TO
drive nail or saw board, and do it
well, and if she knows how. she will,
without any doubt, many times find it
convenient, no matter what may be her
fortune in life. For every one it will be
great advantage TO cultivate mechanical
skill no one has too much of 1t. Moth
ing will be handler, or be acceptable on
more occasions than to know how to use
few common tools. To begin with, the
outfit need not cost over $40, but we will
say $25. For this he may buy square,
jack plane, a smoothing plane, hand
ak, har1 ner, a draw shave, some divid-
ers, hi stock and half a dozen bits, a
half dozen chisels, bench screw-a
small bench he can make-a few files, a
milestone, nd-saw, a rip-saw, a screw
driver. Then with the rest of the $50 he
can buy a little wire, an assortment OF
screws, a few of a kind, an assortment OF
nails, and a small quantity of pieces of
board of various dimentions. The tools
should be of good quality. In a little
time some of these will be lost or broken,
but what of it, So is money lost and
thrown away. 1t is profitable training
for every one to learn how to use money
properly. To learn they need TO begin
early under good instruction. Twenty
five dollars in money may be spent a
thousand ways for things which will dc
less good than the tools. Although this
may seem to some large amount to pay
for tools, $25 would be considered small
item as an inheritance for young man.
Then buy the children some tools, and
they will learn TO make many piaythings
for themselves, and be less likely to get
into bad company. They will be hap
pier. wiser, better; they will have a
stronger attachment for home, and 6
greater love for parents, AMI these are 6
| priceless fortune to any young man OF
woman; fortune which cannot be lost
by any failure of banks or depreciation

restore her spirits, and she was not long
in recovering her usual cheerfulness.

Truth is an immortal Hover
Tears are due to humane misery.

Conversation is the ventilation of the
heart.

The first and worst of all frauds is to
cheat oneself.

great sinner.
The solemn thought of the tomb is the
skeleton at every feast.
Countries are well cultivated, not as
they are, but as they are free.
Age respects love, but, unlike youth, it
respects little the signs OF love.
The rich man wrongs himself by every
superiority which he does not share.
The measure of choosing well IS wheth-
er man likes what he has chosen.
Truth is as impossible to be soiled by
any outward touch as the sunbeam.
No man is the wiser for his learning
Wit and wisdom are born with man.

and clothe not the truth with falsehood
Our greatest glory consists not in never
falling, but in rising every time we fall

put them into jar, which. she left uu-
covered till the fish should cool. The

silk, with the vest, collar and cuffs on the
basque of French MORE of the same color,
a satin stripe alternating with watered
one and the puffings on the front of
white crepe lisse. This dress is trimmed
with an exquisite fringe of green twist
and chenill combined, having strands
dotted with crystal beads. A very silly
ish dress is made in chine summer silk,
dark plum and old gold colors, trimmed
with plain plum colored silk and rich
fringe in which both colors are intermixed.
The trained skirt is known as the "Gwen-
dolne,n and is trimmed with broad reyers
on the front, which are connected with
panier drapery at the sides, while the
back is topped in simple but very effec-
tive manner. The bottom of the skirt is
trimmed with Marguerite plaitings of the
the same material as the dress, headed
by chicoree ruching of old gold and
plum colored silks. The ''Anatolian
basque has plain vest in front with
broad revers at the sides continuing to
the back, which is much longer than the
front.
The "Paulynan costume is designed
for young lady of fourteen, and is very
handsome. The "Dothan skirt is anoth-
er attractive style. The brenda" jacket
is decidedly masculine in character, and
has coat back, with the side forms
carried to the shoulders.

John Mangero,

A japanese boy named John MangerC
was wrecked off the island of Niphon il
1910. He was rescued by Capt. White
field, of New Bedford ship, and car
ried to Honolulu. from thence to the
United States Capt. Whitefieid placed
him in school at Fair Haven, Mass.
He made great proficiency in the Ian
guages and other branches of study
After leaving school. his enterprising
spirit lead him to California, thence to
the Sandwich islands; here he sought
the aid of the seaman chaplain, the Rev
Mr.. Damon, by which he secured pas
sage to Japan.
After suffering various emoarrass-
ments through suspicion OF those in au-
thority in his native land. he came to be
respected for his intelligence and in
tegrity.
He was sought for especially on ac-
count of his knowledge of American
affairs. When Commodore Perry visited
Japan with his fleet, and made his IA
nous treaty by which the ports of the
country were opened to the world, John
Mangero was the medium of communi-
ton.
He translated the communication
from the japanese to English for the
commodore and his reply into Japanese
for the Japanese government. In various
ways, by his influence In no small de-
gree, Japan has emerged from condi-
ton of medieval stagnation to that of the
magnificent enterprise she now exhibits.
John Mangero is now man of lead
ing influence in public affairs in Japan.
The Partially the japanese government
has manifested for the United States is
doubtless due in no small degree to him.

a cleansing and healing lotion, applied to the

application alone can cure catarrh. The dis

and a thorough Alternative course of treatment
is necessary to remove it from the system.
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy has long been
known as an efficient standard remedy for
this disease, but, to insure a radical and per-

THE FRANCESCA

This is one of the simplest and mosl
practical designs for a trimmed walking
skirt. It has moderately bouffan
drapery, and is finished by a deep kilt
plating on the bottom. This skirt is
suitable alike for heavy or light goods,
dressy or ordinary wear, and . really an
excellent design for washing fabrics. For
dressy wear, or where combination Of
materials is used, the Bereaice is especial
ly desirable. This has a short fully
draped apron. from which revers are
turned back and carried to the back,
where they support the drapery in a med
crate pouf. Another new style, especially
suitable for supper silks and grenadines,
is the Litta, which has the apron and side
cores pulled and the back effectively
draped. Two, and even three materials
are used in combination for street
costumes, and this applies to the simple
suits made of percale, cotton satin,
marine cloth and other fabrics for sum
mer wear. The rule observed when only
two fabrics are used is to have the costume
itself made entirely of one goods and the
accessories ana trimmings of the other.
There is wide scope for the exercise Of
much taste in the selection and arrange
ment Of the goods to be used In combira
ton, and while strong contrasts are air
lowable, good taste dictates that IL
