Every notable mother studies the wants
of The family. She knows just how .ions

sba, quality is bes. paying IN the end
grcss by practice into Judge ot ica'ne'
;ust a. she is Of beef Her husband s
means are to her so much capital to be
iud,c,ousiy dispensed. Like woman OF
.cr,ptursl fame "She looketh well TO the
WAYS Of the household" There Is no de-
psr,ment that does not bear the indeiibie
imprint of her judicious management
Sh. has learned the iGll force OF the
homely proverb, "A stitch in time saves
nine" With all this she does no; deteri-
crate INTO honeIy drudge The careful
learning of her children Is the motive
posrr which urges her forward There
is not a little tangled problem IN the
thunbed arithmetic which has not been
touched BY the iar-reachingness OF her
mo,herly care Throush the medium OF
bruised hnsers, little cuts and burns she
has become ssillful IN the fine art OF heal
,ny- and knows hox 10 relieve the sufferer
without calling to her assistance the AID oil
a doctor. The matter of diet she watches
with srhcitious care. She knows what
bes, agree. with ttose young constitutions
which IN later years will develop what she
has .own. 1t is through her energy that
the hoy owes his thorough preparation
for college. She has struggled along IN
educational matters that her children may
NOT suffer for the loss of an esrly training.
Besides all these matter, she understands
the art of cutting and ntt'ng, OF getting
good effects out III small means, and has
that ,onderful magical power OF making
home pleasant. To her the children come
With their confiences, their little aches
ami troubles. She is always ready 10 lis
ten. She never says, Run away children
and dun't ask questions, but teaches
them i'll early life tina. home Is for them
Under what beautiful control, too, dues
she keep these same little ONES. We feel
,kst the mother is ref, cted N rh6 child.
These children behave better at school ARE

VIZ easily de.ect the children of the
true mother. f,.t they r,heel generously
all their virtues. Little ones sre hatur-
slly d!rinurire cctccs; xha, they hear at

A man who has sinned seriously, grew
iously think. iirst il his hours Of contri-
ton OF the mother he has injured; for is
not true honest affection something he
carries with him through lie. IL Is
upiusd that achilles lGtense love for the
sea had lis origin IN the fact that his
mother was its goddess and We know that
history furnishes innumefatle examples
of :h- siiec, OF strong and vigorous moth
ers who have stood besi;, with their sons
through the direst trouble.
B'yond doubt even genius feels the
beueft Of home training. Goethe, IN his
imacluativ.. childhocd, when hia soul vas
all aire With the latent poesy within him,
found gracious vent IN the mother Who
wovs wonderful stories for his amuse-
ment /, is not necessary TO 90 through
III. grand lins Uf historic women and
bring forward illustration after iiirstra-
t;on. We need hot speak Of the mother
Of the Gracchi, or come down to later
times when heroes and heroes mo'hers
stand side by side ins.parably associated
ON The page Of good deeds. We have
only to look at the children OF the present
and SEQ the impress left upon them by
tender, CONSCIENTIOUS home training.
There a something IN the appearance Of a
child that indicates the mother. And
when We who have passed into middle
life, haring put our shoulder TO that mis-
cradle wheel which must turn ihccssan,ly,
fair seathrr and ioul. AMI come TO look
upon our deeds as past, we realize then
how much might have been made for the
home, how mach possible brightness has
been Lost
