Boys and their Mothers.


Some one has written beautifully tn

none can surpass the true love of the
big boy for his mother. 1t is pure

merely dutiiul affection; | mean II
love which makes boy gallant and
courteous to his mother, saying to

love with her. Next to the love of Il
husband, nothing So crowns IA woman's
life with honor as this second love,
this devotion ot son to her. And |
never yet knew boy turn ont bad

with q frcsh-ta girl, and the man
who s. gallant with the girl may cruelty

The Driving OF Horses.

We are sometimes asked the question
of how horse should I've driven. 1t Is
not easy to lay down a rule to govern
in all cases. There is rs great a diff
ference in the Compartments of drivers
rs there j. in the dispositions of the
horses driven. Many really good ami
mails are very much injured, if not
spoiled. by the way in which they are
handled. OF course much depends
upon the way the animal was trained
when Young. Habits acquired by man
or beast when Young are not easy T."
yet rid of in later years. Some horses
are So free that they need to be held
back all the time. and il allowed to do
all they want to do will die in the har-
ness.
Others need the whip and spur,
though we do not advocate either, eN-
cept in extreme cases. The law of
kindness must Ice exercised in the care
of horses. The kind aud patient man
will always succeed much better with
the horse than the qucktemPcred,
rough. fractions man. The horse is a
very intelligent animal, and know, and
appreciates good treatment. Many
things should be avoided in the hand
ling of horses. One should never train
a horse to start aS soon as the first per
sou puts his foot on the step. Should
not give the horse suddcn cut with
a whip Ia start him. Should not Shout
to scare the animal Should not bt
constantly speaking to him 81 urging
him with the Whip. - that s9"n he

..IuSI for Looks"

\ little boy was playing around the
table set for dinner, busily arranging
several spoons which he had taken
from the sidchoard. ''What is that

the little fellow. in an apologize tone,

Cigarette Smoking.


There has been introduced into the
New York Assembly bill which pro-
hibits the sale of cigarettes OF tobacco
to minors under Ii years of age. A
law to that effect already exists in New
Jersey, and its example might advan-
tageonsly he followed in other states.
In regard to the results of cigarette
smoking. physicians say it affects Sc
riously the functions of the stomach,
especially in the young. 1t has il
tendency to increase the action of the
heart, causing palpitation. 1t is Il
fruitful source of Indigestion. 1t has Il
decided tendency to produce catarrh
in the head This, it is said, arises
from the fact that a cigarette being
much shorter than cigar. more of tue
smoke finds its way into the mouth
aud nasal organs, very much larger
percentage of smoke being inhaled by
the smoker from cigarette than from
Il cigar. Cigarette smoking, it is
averred has also a decided tendency to
produce asthma, aud renders the system
more liable to the attacks OF pneu-
monia and bronchitis. In its effects
upon the nervous system cigarette
smoking is said to be iii the highest
degree pernicious, borh directly and
indirectly. 1t destroys healthy APP
petite for solid food, aud by the con-
slant expectoration it produces leads
to a morbid craving for drink. Injury
OF destruction of the nerves of the eyes,
it is alleged, has been in hundreds Of
instances produced by cigarette smok-

A XerY BraVe Nan.

Senator Henry Wilson was Il self
as well rs sclf-made man.
He left his New Hampshire home early
in life, and changed his name in order
to get ont from under the baleful
shadow of intemperance. He began
on the lowest round of the social lad
der. and climbed up, rung by rung,
until he became political power in
the nation. The first step he took in
the ascent placed him on the pledge
never to drink Intoxicating liquors.
The second step he took made him an
industrious labOrer, the third Il dill
gent reader. He was sent to Wash
ington to carry petition against the
admission of Texas into the Union.
John Quincy Adams asked him to a
dinner party. where he met with some
of the great men of the nation. He
was asked to drink wine. The tempta-
ton to lay aside his temperance princi-
pies for Il moment, in order not to seem
singular, was strong one. But he
resisted it, and declined the glass o
wine. Mr.. Adams commended him for
his adherence to his conviction.
After Mr.. Wilson was elected to the
United States senate, he gave his
friends dinner at a noted Boston
hotel. The table was set with not q
wine glass upon it. Where are the
wine glasses ~ asked several loud
enough to remind their host that some
of his guests did not like sitting down
to Il winelesS dinner.
"Gemtlemen," said Mr.. Wilson, ris-
ing and speaking with great deal of
feeling, ''you know my friendship for
YOU and my obligations to You. Great
Us they are, they ar not great enough
to make me forget the rock whence
WAS hewn and the pit from whence
was dug Some of you know how the
curse OF intemperance ver-shad0wed
my youth. That might escape fled
from my early surroundings and
changed my name. For what | am,
am indebted under God to my temper

Call for what to eat, aud if this
hotel can provide it, it shall he forth
coming. But wines and liquors cannot
come to this table with my consent
because | will not spread in the patI
of another the snare from which

Three rousing cheers showed til,
brave senator that men admired tn,
man who has the courage of his con
victions.
