Own a Home.

Every man should own his home,
If he can. That philosophy which
tells man TO drift over the ocean
of this uncertain life Without a home
of his own, is wrong. The man
who does not own his home is like
ship out at sea, at the hazard of
the storm. A man who owns his
home is like a ship that has arrived
in port, and is moored in safe har-
Dor. One man should be more CON
tent to live in another man house.

one bird should take the risk of
Matching in another'S nest. 1

would say TO every man, buy a
home, tif you can, and own it. If a
"lndfall has come to YOU, buy a
home; if you have laid up enough
money by toll, own a home; if YOU
have made money in stocks, buy a
home. Do not let anybody tempt
you TO put all your WINNINGS back
into the pool. Take out enough TO
buy a home, and buy it. Put. the

If you will, but buy the home first

Frank LeSIie'S Popular Monthly

For December opens with a very
timely article called "Another Bit OF
Turkey" 1t has no reference TO
Thanksgiving, but to the annexation of
ROumelia by the Prince OF Bulgaria.
This unexpected seizure OF another bit
of Turkey, and the events that have
followed, required explanations. In
this article Mr.. Oscanyan, formerly
Turkish cOnsul-general, thoroughly
versed in the system OF Oriental rule,
gives a clear view OF the province and
its people, as well as of Bulgaria "The
Shakers ia Niskayuna" is a sketch by
a lady of that curious community ac-
companied by series of Illustrations
"The Story of Napoleon Bonaparte's
Divorce from the Empress Josephine"
is told by Noel Ruthven in way TO
excite the readers warmest sympathy
with the amiable lady whom a hus-
bands ambition compelled to descend
from her throne. Walter s. Baillie de-
seribes and illustrates little known
part OF our hemisphere in his attractive

Crusoe, in his ',Rescue of the Trinity's
Crew"-the story OF the crew OF an
American vessel lost on a rarely visited
island in the Antarctic Ocean. Ack-
royd's scientific article on "WhirlpOols
and Whirlwinds' explains the origin
Of those deadly forces in nature which
so frequently compel up to record their
destructive ravages. The lighter ele-
ments in the magazine, the fine illustra-
items, the stories by Mrs. E. b. Dufey,
G. NJ. Boutelie, r. G. Meyers, Laurence
Germaine, with the poetic and other
miscellany, make the number from ev-
cry point OF view extremely attractive.

The Future.

We can as little argue respecting
the laws of the future state from
those which grid us about here, as
the Esquimaux could argue respect
ing tropical productions from the
sterility of his own ice-bound, snow
covered coasts. That there is a fn-
ture, that we shall live in it, and
that God will be our God then as
now, these are the great facts OF
tranecendent Importance; that there
will be love and friendship and fell
lowship and mutual recognitions is
indicated by many passages OF
scripture and is not contradicted
by Christ's teaching. christian
Union.

Intensive or Extensive,

Which will you choose? This is
also worth repeating. Is it easier
to make the family support on 20
acres or on 100 acres? Can you
keep a 10 room house as easy as a
10 room house, and can you live
in 40 rooms better than in 10?
When a man has got an elephant
and finds that he cannot manage

How to Air Beds,

The most effectual way to air
beds and bed clothing is to throw
the clothes over a chair and lift the
mattress partly over the footboard
in a round, hoop like fashion and if
a feather bed is used pull it off up
on a chair. Then open the windows
and door so that current of air
can pass through the room and let
it remain so for two or three hours
or even longer. Beds thus aired
are always healthful and will induce
sound sleep in their occupants.
Each member of the family should
be trained to do this daily and new
er allowed to leave the room until
it is so arranged. Boys as well as
girls can be taught to do this and
they will reap the benefit of it
through their lives and be sure to
have their children trained in the
same way.

We heartily agree with a cores
pondent of the Rural New Yorker
who says: at is a great mistake
of q mother to place one of the chill
dren to sleep with an aged person,
no matter how crowded the home
nest. A straw pallet on the floor
even is far preferable. In almost
every case the vitality of the child
is impaired to the aged person, but
at fearful expense to the little
one" 1t is also a very bad prac
tice to have the baby sleep in bed
with its parents. Sometimes chill
dren sleep with the parents till they
are three or four years old. This
is very bad for the little people. A
very young child can sleep in crib
drawn by the side of the bed, and
there is not one half the danger
that it will take cold that there is
in exhausting it's vitality by alb
sorption. And would again coun
sci parents to buy single bedsteads
for the children's sleeping apart
ments, even if two are placed in the
same room. 1t makes a little more
washing, but the children sleep
enough better to pay. We have
known two children of very oppo
site temperaments who were always
restless and wakeful by night, ner-
vous, irritable and ailing by day
while they shared the same bed.
Separated, both slept soundly,
awakened refreshed and improved
in temper. This is a fact.

with God. 1t is being in his con-
scious presence. 1t is keeping com

How I Would Paint a Bar-Room.

If / had the adornment of bar
room it should be done somewhat
in this: One one side | would
paint Death on the Pale Horse, his
arm welding the thunderbolt; the
flying hoofs Of his fiery steed tread
ing down every thing that is air and
lovely; the garden of Eden before
him, blackened waste behind.
On the other hand l would draw
the picture of a wretched howell
once a happy home-the roof bro
ken in, the windows stuffed with
rags-in,the doorway a weeping wife
with ragged children clinging to
her skirts piteously beseeching her
for food. In the distance should be
seen the once happy husband and
father, now a reeling drunkard on
his way home from the village tav-
ern to the hut he calls home. Back
of the bar, in full view of the
bloated creatures that stand with
the cups to their lips, l would
paint a company of demons in the
dance of fiendish hilarity around
fire kindled with the flames of alco-
hol, and over which l would write
in livid lines: Moderate drinking
lights the flames that burns to the
lowest hell" Opposite the bar
should be a lonely and dishonored
grave. A lightning blasted tree
should stretch its leafess branches
over it, and on some withered
bough should perch the melan
cboly owl hooting to the winter
moon. At the foot of the grave
should kneel the angel of mercy
with eyes and hands upraised to
plying heaven; and at the head of
the grave should be the angel of
justice writingIwith stern, relentless
hand on the tombstone those fear
full words of doom: "No drunkard
shall enter the kingdom of God"
In the intervening spaces l would
have: here a grinning skeleton,
there a broken heart, a shattered
hour-glass, a stranded boat, a
torch eXtinguished in the black
ness of darkness; while from over
the doorway and the ceiling should
look down all kinds of woeful faces
pale, imploring, wrathful-deadly
or despairing. The walls of the
room should be shrouded in sack
cloth, and the floor covered with
ashes, and the bar wreathed in
weeping willows and gloomy cy-
press, while all the vessels that
held the damning fluid should be
black as the gate of doom. Then l
would call the rumseller, if he
would, to take his place bohind the
bar; and, though few besotted
wretches, hardened IN crime. might
stagger up to the bar and drink def
ance to their fate,yet 1 should hope
that the young-the pride Of moth
ers and light of homes-might turn
away as though they had caught a
glimpse OF the ilfernsl world.-Ex.

There is to be no locomotive, but
every passenger car is to contain, fas-
