Home!

How many pleasant recollections nro
called into being by that one word?
Home that sweet word has caused tears
to flow unbidden to the eyes of
hardened criminal, or calmed his grosser
passions. "1'is the one haven Of earthly
rest. Should the outside world buffet
ole around, il he has home-now |
must be understood to mean home
where there is unison and sympathy
among the inmates, not mere place
to eat, drink and sleep--when he goes

contact with the world how soon he will
be refreshed His spirits will he reani-
mated he will feel, let come what may,

his hard duties, if lie has a home III
view? Will he not feel abundantly re-
paid for all his perseverance, to meet, on
returning home, his wife, or sister, who
is waiting and watching for him? ALI
how sweet to him will be the tender
smile and loving kiss OF welcome They
will be doubly sweet to him now, and he
will thank heaven for giving him such
love and tenderness.
Now to make home attractive and
cheerful is woman's work. No home

The Value of Study.

Increase of strength is called "ac-
ouired habit" Our moral and mtelleo-
final virtues are acquired habits. The
acquired power to study is moral vir-
tue: inasmuch as its exercise forces back
the lower propensities and urges forward
the higher faculties. Hence The hard
students of a school are always gentle
men and the young man whose appear
ance show him to be rough is never
hard student. Hence also, men eminent
for great learning are generally eminent
for moral virtues. g,
Self.respect is also moral virtue; and
it has been said that self.respect Is at the
root of all the virtues. Hope, which Is
the companion Of energy and mother OF
success, springs from self-respect. Hope,
which, as Carlyle says, gives man a
world of strength wherewith to front a
world of difficulty" The value OF repu-
tation springs from self-respect. When
Pythagoras admonished his pupils, "Do
malisia patOn aischunoO sCdutOn -
"But especially OF all things reverence
yourself," and when the apostle reminds
ms that our bodies are temples OF the
Holy Ghost, they both inculcate thu
/ same virtue of self-respect. 1t is the vir
tue of self-respect that has determinet

terials." You are accomplishing the en-

A Wonderful Tree.

Why men occasionally see sea serpenM
and other snakes is plain enough; but
what is there in a Jersey cedar to ac-
count for the following from the Clinton,
N. j., correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Times. He says:
"a farmer living near Sclooley Noun
tain has greatly excited his neighbors
by IN account OF wonderful tree which
he discovered several years ago, and
which he has been watching ever since.
He says for three years it has gone
through the cold weather without she'd
ding leaf. 1t is a maple tree, and its
sap makes very good maple sugar.
"Ihe farmer noticed it first while fol-
lowing the trail of fox up over the
mountain early in December, 1878. All
the other trees, even of the same species,
were entirely bare, while this tree had
not, TO all appearances, lost single leaf.
There were no dried leaves underneath
it, and the leaves on the branches were
all green. II was with great difficulty
that n leaf could be pulled from the
twig to which it was fastened, and
strong breeze, which was blowing ut the
time, had no effect upon the leaves. So
astonished was the discovercr AT the
phenomenon that he forgot all about the
fox lie was after and the cold character
of the day, and spent several hours ex-
amining the tree.
He went home greatly puzzled, and
returned several days later with a clergy
man living i'll the vicinity. They de-
termined to mark several Of the leaves
and see how long they remained where
they were. They also resolved to keel
the thing secret aud watch Its progress
until spring. This they did. When
April arrived the leaves which they had
marked were just as green and fresh as
in December, and the tree Itself was moi
affected in the least by the severity o
the weather and the many windy blasts
"Ihe bark was tapped every week ant
yielded a plentiful supply OF sap
enough tokeepboth the farmers and min
ister's families Ill syrup all winter long
The same has been tried ever since no
a leaf has fallen, to the best Of their be
lief, since the day the tree was frs
noticed, and the sap has flowed with tn
same regularity and proiusion.
"As far rs can be ascertained, there i
no cause for the mysterious vitality o
that particular maple. There is nothing
in the sod or sub-soil to render growtl
more available or make the trunk an,
branches better able to stand the storm
and cold weather.
"a number of people have lately Wis
tied the curiosity, but each one come
away perfectly mystiiied. At the pres
cnt time not another tree on the Who'll
mountain, with the exception OF severi
evergreens near the hotels, has a leaf O
it, and the trunks and branches stand ou
bleak and bare. This maple is in a
exposed spot unprotected from tn
winds and surrounded by rocks. Ju'
why it is as it is battles the ingenuity I
all beholders. Even the regular Decen
Der fox hunt is cast III the shade by tn
perpetually green maple tree"

Walter Scott on the Literary Profes.

The following characteristic postscript
to an unpublished letter OF Sir Walter
Scotts has been placed at our disposal
by the courtesy of the correspondent to
whom it was addressed. 1t gives in a
forcible form Scotts wel!-knowR opinion
of literature as profession. Ii is dated
February 2, 1923, when scott WAS hard
at work on "The Fair Maid Of Perth :"

Too Much Talk.

There is probably too much talking
in the world. too much writing too much
printing. There 10 much more said than
is well said, much more written than is
well written. As II nation We are too
noisy We talk and write ut randOm--
all of us talk and write on all manner Of
subjects, whether We know anything
about them or not. We are getting to
be worse than the French We ought
to act more and talk less all of us that
are writing and talking ought to. We
multiply words continually. There is
too much sad-too little done. But who
amongst us is going to commence the
needed reform by holding his tongue
and going to work?
A proposed reform sets ey,rybcdy's

an investigation proved that there was
no smallpox in that city whatever. For
his enterprise, according to city ordin-
snce, he will be compelled to pay $50 for
each case, an aggregate of $3.50. As
