mon measure of the difference between the

get sugar from cane and beet root in abund-
ance, while sugar, maple and palm trees of
various sorts afford a considerable supply to
remoter countries. But the childhood of
the little Greeks and Romans must have
been absolutely unlighted by a single ray
of Joy from chocolate creams or EvertOn tat
fy. The consequence of this excessive pro-
duction of sweets in modern times is, of
course, that we have begun to distrust the
indications afforded US by the sense of taste
in this particular and to the wholesomeness
of various objects.-London Co'mhW.
THE MECCA OF A MoTHER.-It may be
only Barlow knife with rusty blade and
a broken point, or it may be a peg top half
split down in the middle, or only half a
dozen battered spools on a knotted string.
But there it lies, whatever it is slowed care
fully away in the far-off corner Of the bu-
reau drawer, under yellow pile of little
linen and stockings, patched and darned at
heel and at knee. But all the gems of Col
conda cannot buy them no, nor the gold of
all the wide world size their preciousness.
For they are the holy of the holies. 1t is
not often that she goes so that drawer, not
often she looks upon the treasures there.
But once in a while, sometimes, the time
when knock comes to the heart, that

famished and thirsty she goes to the nest Of
her jewels. Slowly, with soft hands the
little linens are laid aside, and slowly with
trembling hands, the knife, the top, or the
string of dingy spools are drawn forth. All!
how gently they are pressed to the heart
and lips! What words are they saying,
what sad, sweet songs are they singing?
Kissed and cried on, and cried on and kiss

SLOW EATING.-The idea of rest and
recreation and deliberation in eating no
longer occupies the thought of the Ameri-
can boy, much less of the business men.
Yet the power of ones life depend as much
upon this as upon any one conduct of life.
The relation Of the chewing and the juices
of the mouth to the after, digestion, all

quent limitation upon forceful life than any
one disability. A thorough digestion not
only leaves the mind clear and the nervous
system placid, but so provides the physical
and mental machinery with it's propelling
power to make thought as natural as if it
were physical function. It is not difficult
to see in the work as we'll as in the writings
of some men, the traces of bad physical
condition. Emerson over-stated the case
when he said the sick man is on the road
to rascality; but, nevertheless, did indicate
what is true, that man in chronic state
of embarrassed digestion is out of gear with
himself and the rest of mankind. We be-
lieve that the foundation of many an in
