Help Mother orr.

The professional and business classes are
not the only ones who need vacation. Ex-
hausting and often killing as mems work is
in his high-pressure age, it is no more so,
compared with their strength, than that of
the faithful "house mothers" IL has been
often pointed OUTFLOW to the men come a
change of scene in going out TO business /;
how they get at least an hour or more of
fresh air every day, and lubricate the ma
chinery of life by contact with friends and
acquaintances while the women suffer from
the very quiet of their home-life, not to
mention its nerve-wearing auxieties, cares
and labors. Any man who has been shut
up in the house" for even few days, with
a temporary ailment, has confessed--if hon.
est enough-that he should "hy out of the
window If confined in that way as habit
of life. The average good wife and mother
needs nothing so much, at this time of year,
as some kind aud determined hand to lift
her out of the old ruts, and make the
way easy to little stretch of smooth road
through "pastures new," aud by fields fresh
and fair Because she thinks she doesn't
want to go, is no sign that she does not need
to go. A tread.mill is one of the hardest
things to get out of gear, and the patient
| ploddsr therein at last comes to think that
there is no other round for her in the
great world. Therefore, husbands, sons and
daughters, take our admonition, and help
mother off. Enter into an amiable conspir-
acy to convince her that she can go. Per
suade her that home is not the best place to
travel in, nor the best pl zee for some kinds
of rest And don't wait too long, nor mis-
take resignation for contentment, or cheer
full patience for the bright substance of hap
piness If all the unavailing regrets, Sc
cretly breathed in desolate homes over op
portunities missed to prolong life or minis
ter to the happiness Of lost ones, could be
sounded forth in warning to the living there
would be such an awakening to duty, and
a stimulus to loving service, as the world
has rarely seen.-G0lden Rule.

Belief In Ones Work.

Successful workers will generally be found
to be those who believe the most intensely.
Even in speech, the effectiveness of AN ut
terance may often be measured by the force
of the conviction that prompted it. Much
more is it true of work, that its results de-
pend largely upon the faith with which we
pursue it. So of a mans moral convictions
if they are feeble, his moral life will be
feeble also. III he utters truth, it will
carry the impression that he is in some
doubt about it; and even the most palpable
truism might be taken from his lips at a
discount. Apply the principle to a man in
business. Let him believe thoroughly in
his work, that it is honorable and may be
made profitable, and he will be likely to
pursue it more enthusiastically and earn
estly, and if there are either dollars or hon
ors in it he will be pretty sure to gain them.
A brickmaker with firm conviction that
there is fortune in his bank of lay would
be much more likely to realize it than the
owner of gold-mine who doubted the sue
cess of working it. Only let ones convic-
tions be strong enough to stand alone, and
there need be few fears but they will make
their way. Their intensity will overcome
not only ones own doubts, but those of
other people. They will laugh at clouds,
and come bounding into port on the crest
of the very wave that croakers said would
whelm them. OF course it is essential that
the convictions be wholesome and rightly
aimed. The hunter does not hit the bird
in the air who aims at its image in the
water. Much less, if his gun be loaded
with sand Let truth be in the heart, and
it will aspire upward instead of downward
provided downward aspiration were posi-
BILE. Then its beats will be blows, and every
blow will drive falseness further back. The
person with even limited experience
doesn't need to be told that weak opinions
beget sickly offspring, and that all vagabond
morals are born of doubt.-From The Morn

What Not to DO for Sick People.

Don't make fuss. Don't hustle, don't
fidget, don't prognOsticate. Don't hold con-
sultations in or about the patients room, re-
counting all your own and your neighbor's
experiences in what you suppose to have
been like cases. Don't meddle and advise
aud experiment. We all need great deal
more letting alone than we get, and when
we are sick it is one of our prime needs. If
mortuary lists were honestly tabulated we
should find that more people have been bored
to death than have died from neglect. The
pest of the sck-room is the inevitable friend
who drops in to cheer up" the patient, the
glistening eyes aud flushed cheeks which
such ministrations evoke being hailed as ev-
idence of success by the well.meaning perse-
cutor. Don't tease the patient with ques-
tions about food or drink, but present the
proper quantity at suitable intervals; aud if
one article is found to be disagreeable, qui-
city substitute another without remark.
DJu't think, because the patient declines
nourishment, that it becomes less necessary
to administer it. By quiet, firm methodical
persistence in presenting food at stated pc
riods, objections will become feebler and
cease, in self-defense Solid food need not
be insisted upon unless by special direction
of the physician, but milk and beef-tea
should never be omitted.-Home Guardian.

Summer Styles.

YOUNG ladies are wearing the hair very
plain, often without frizzss or even the regu-
lation bang.
POINTED waists, gathered in the center
and the whole length of the point, are pretty
for thin materials.
MANY of the new wool goods are very
thin, nearly as light as grenadines, and are
trimmed with laces.
YACHTING suits are made of the new sea-
green flannel, which is not only newer than
the standard navy blue, but much uglier.
PARAsoLs with immensely long sticks are
coming in, but they have not yet attained
the length which some old ladies recollect.
GINGHAM suits are made up with sur
touts lined with silesia and skirts finished
with one deep founce and with three mar
row plaitings on the front breadth.
Bows and ends set at intervals along the
lower edge OF the skirt are used by some
ladies as a substitute for the flounce, with.
out which they edo not feel dressed"
WHIrE costumes are worn in the street
this season. The cream-white tints appear
to be the most popular. The skirt is invari.

VELVET stockings are the latest. In spite
of their warm name, they are the coolest
things out, being made of the finest Lisle
thread woven in minute ribs, which give
the effect of velvet pile and are very elastic
The favorite combinations of colors are dark
blue with gold, light blue with silver, gray
aud cardinal with black.
SPANISH lace is again in favor, and is worn
in both black and white. A handsome bon
net may be made from a Spanish lace scarf
by entirely covering small close bonnet
frame with the middle OF the scarf, folding
it loosely and carelessly around the frame
aud fastening it with large gold balls. Lei
the scarf droop on the hair in front, place I
bunch of pansies or roses low on the lett side
and fasten the ends of the scarf at the throa
with another bunch of the same flowers.

The Christian Wife.

BY the quiet firesde of home, the true
wife and mother, in the midst of her chill
dren, is sowing as in vases of earth the seeds
of plants that shall sometime give TO heaven
the fragrance of their blossom, and whose
fruit shall be as a rosary of angelic deeds,
that noblest Offering that she can make
through ever ascending and expanding souls
of her children to their God and Creator.
Every word that she utters goes from her
heart TO their hearts with power she little
dreams. Philosophers tell us in their calcu-
tions, that we cannot lift a finger without
moving the distant spheres. Solemn is
the thought, but not more solemn to the
Christian wife than the thought that every
word that falls from her lips, every express
sion of her countenance, even in the shell
tered walk and retirement of home, may
have an indelble impression upon the young
souls around her, and form, as it were, the
underlying strata Of that education which
mostly peoples the heavenly kingdom with
celestial beings, and give to the white brow
of the angel next to the grace Of God, its
crown OF glory. 1t needs no guilt to break a
husbands heart. The absence Of content,
the muttering Of spleen, the untidy dress
and cheerless home, the forbidding scowl
and deserted heart-these and other name
less neglects, without crime among them,
have narrowed TO the quick the hearts core
Of many man, and planted there, beyond
the reach of cure, the germ of dark despair
Oh may woman before the sigh arrives
dwell attentively on the recollection of hel
youth, and lovingly cherishing the dear idea
of that tuneful time, awaken and keep alive
the promise that she 30 kindly gave. Aud
though he may be the injured and not the
injuring one--the forgotten and not the for
gettiug-a happy allusion to the hour oi
peaceful love, a kiss of peace to pardon tn,
past, kindly welcome TO q comfortable
home tender smile of love, the hardes
heart that ever locked itself within thu
breast of selfish man will soften to her font
charms, and bid her live, as she had hoped
the year OF matchless bliss, loving and con
tented, the sources OF comfort and the sprinl
of joy. Dear Christian wife, use kind ant
cheerful words 10 your husband on all occa
sions, because word fifty spoken is lik
apples of gold in pictures OF silver Re
member you are rapidly sailing upon tn
vast ocean of time, gliding on toward death
portal, through which we must all soone

A kind word costs nothing and yet IT ha

WOrkmen In America.

The effect of American inspiration on
Englishmen was strikingly evident. | met
workmen in many cities whom had known
in former years in England. They were no
longer the same men. Here their employers
seldom or never spoke to them, and the work
men were rather glad, as they feared the
communication would relate to reduction
of wages. They thought it hardly prudent
to look a foreman or overseer in the face.
Masters are more genial, as a rule, in these
days; but in the days when last | visited
these workmen at their homes in Lancashire,
it never entered into their heads to introduce
me TO their employers. But when | met
them in America they instantly proposed to
introduce me to the mayor of the city. This
surprised me very much for when they
were in England they could not have intro.
duced me to the reieving-oflcer of their
parish, with any advantage TO me, had
needed to know him. These men were still
workmen, and they did introduce me to the
mayor as friend of theirs and in an easy
confident manner, as one gentleman would
speak to another, they said, "they should be
obliged if he would show me the civic fea
lures of the CITY," The mayor would do so
order his carriage, and with the most pleas
ant courtesy take me to every place Of in
| terest. To this hour | do not know whom
wondered at most,-the men or the mayor
In some cases the mayor was himself man
ufacturer, and it was a pleasure to see that
the men were as proud Of the mayor as the,
were of the city," A Stranger in Amer

BE Not Hasty.


There are great many times in our lives
when our strength is to sit still" Motion
is good in its time, but so is meditation, so
is quiet study, so is a patient waiting on God
If bucket is to be filed from spout of
water, the best place for that bucket is un-
der the stream until it is full. We soon run
empty of grace, and need replenishing, and
need to be filled unto the fullness of God"
The cry of the hour is for more work. But
genuine work consumes strength. The most
laborious farmer must halt his team occa-
sionally at the plow and rest he must go in
from the hot harvestfield aud sit down at
his table and refresh his weary frame. An
army is never in so good trim for service
in battle as after sound sleep and morn
ing meal. So every servant of Jesus must
often recruit his spiritual strength by sitting
down at Us Masters feet, in prayer, in med
itation, in reading Christ's words and think
ing about them. The disciples were not
losing time when they sat beside their Mas.
ter and held quiet converse with him under
the olives of Bethany or by the shores OF
Gallilee. Those were their schoolhours
those were their feeding-times. The health
est Christian, the one who is best fitted fol-
godly living and godly labors, is he who
feeds most on Christ. Here lies the benefit
of Bible reading, aud of secret prayer. The
very act Of sitting down quietly with our
cruciied Redeemer at his table of love, has
is Observation-Disclosures Cuyler.

The Power Of Silence.

There is mighty power in silence, and
silence is frequently an evidence OF power.
There are many men so weak that they can
not hold their tongues, or keep their mouths
shut. The man who offends not in word is
perfect man, able TO bride the whole body.
He who can control his tongue can control
his entire nature. Hence silence is token
of power, of reserved force. He who knows
how to keep silence knows how to speak !;
and often his silence is more impressive than
his speech. brilliant flashes of silence Is
by no means senseless expression. How
often have we seen the babble of the foolish
hushed by the silent glance of an earnest
soul how often the ribald jest or scurril-
GUS word has died upon the lips when an in
dignant silence was the only reply it could
evoke. That man or that woman who can
stand silent amid reproaches and accusa.
tions and sneers aud SCOTS shows degree Of
strength aud power which falls not to the
lot of every one. We have the highest ex-
amples for our imitation in this respect.
There was One who was set forth as the
pattern of humanity, who "was led as a
lamb to the slaughter, aud as a sheep before
her shearers is dumb, 30 he opened not his
mouth" Amid the babble and the scoffing,
the perjury of the lying witnesses and the
jeers of mocking soldiers, the silent sufferer
wore h thorny crown and bore his bitter
cross, and triumphed over all the malice Of
| his foes.-Selecfed.
