PEARLS OF rHOUGHT.

Human nature is nos so bad as W.
sometimes Judge it 30 be.
Oft some expectation fails. and
most oft there where most it promises
He who seduously attends, pointed
ly asks, calmly speaks, cody answers
and ceases when he has no more tC
say. is In possession OF some of the
best requisites of man.
Love, in its varied phases, can ac-
quire purity or dignity only when
guided by an inward power over our
selves; that is in Itself the very germ
of virtue.
A friend should be one in whose
understanding and virtue we can
equally confide, and whose opinions W.
can value at once for its business and
sincerity.
BE careful of the books you read as
Of the company you keep; for your
habits and character will be as nue..
influenced by the former as by the
latter
Pride, like the magnet, constantly
points to one object. itseIf; but unlike
the magnet, it has no attractive pole,
but at all points repels.
A promise should be given with
caution and kept With care. 1t should
be made with the heart and remem-
bered by the head.
Common sense, does not ask an
an impossible chess board, but takes
the one before it, and plays the game
One gains courage by showing him
self poor; in that manner one robs
poverty of its sharpest sting.
Let friendship creep gently to
height; ii it rush to il. it may soc~l
run itself out of bro~'

Scholars are frequently to be met
with who are ignorant OF nothing
saving their own ignorance.

tions Or velvets for fail wraps and

LADIES' DEPARTMENT..


In East Africa nearly every woman
wears the pelsle When she Is a little
girl small hole is pierced through the
middle Of her upper lip. and into this
is pressed a small wooden pin to pre-
vent the puncture from closing up.
After time this is changed for a
larger PIN, and so on till the hole is big
enough to admit ring. In proportion
as the peleEe is made gradually larger
so the lip enlarges also and comes to
look like snout. An average speci-
men measures IA inches in diameter
and almost an inch in length. When
she becomes a widow fashion compels
her to take out her pelele, the lip falls
and the great round hole, called upper
ele, shows the teeth and jaw quite
plainly, making her hideous.

Mother.

There is no word in the English

The remembrance of il promise made
to mother has saved many a boy from
doing an act that would have resulted
in everlasting disgrace to himself and
family. How the eye moistens as we
think of her thousand and one little
thoughtful kindnesses to us. How we
call for her in sickness and watch for
her coming. Why, the disease is half
conquered when mother Is by to nurse.
Her vigil never CEASES when her child
is in danger. How she watches the
changes and even anticipates them.
How the doctor himself dcfers often to
her judgment. trusting her intuitions
rather than his knowledge. How she
smiles encouragement when her heart
tells her that a change for the better
has taken place. and how all these
memories come to us in latter years and

pie in the world. The courtship only
lasts week or two. If the girl is OBJ
stinate he goes elsewhere and seeks to
win another girl by his songs and
music. Sometimes the fathers make
the match, but always the girl is the
obedient slave. Her religion, her peo-
pie, her national instincts. the tradi-
tions of her ancestors. all teach her to
be the slave of her husband. The
power of life and death is in his hands.
and she bows before his opinions with
the most implicit obedience 1t is only
