For self-Supporting Girls.

81. Nicholas.
Girls, first make up your minds that
you will do sometime. All the rest
will follow. What You shall be will
come more easily and clearly in due
time.
A girl of l3 cannot decide. with any
discretion or assurance, whether she
will be a sculptor or a wash-wOman, n
farmer or poet; but she can decide
distinctly whether it is her wish or her
duty, after leaving school or college,
to remain dependent upon her parents
or to fit herself for a self-providing life.
The education by which YOU mean to
get your bread and butter, your gloves
and bonnets. is a very different affair
from that which YOU take upon your
self a. an ornamental and an interval
in life.
The chemical experiment which you
may some day have to explain to pupils
of your own is quite another thing from
the lesson that you may never think of
again.
The practice in bookkeeping. which
may sometime regulate your dwellings
with ilesh-and-blood customers, be-
comes rs interesting as IA new story.
The duh old rules for infection and
enunciation fairly turn into poetry,
if You hope to find yourself great
public reader some coming day.
And the very sawdust of the French
or Latin grammar becomes ashes of
roses to the stout little fancy that
dreams of Il brave work and big sal

All over the terrible ocean, among
the lawless sailors. the men with wives
and children TO work for are those
who lead the gentlest and clearest
lives.
So, on the great ocean of school-ife.
the girls with aims to study for are
those whose labor is the richest and ri
pest.
All YOU will never realize until you
have tried what an immense power
over the life is the power of possessing
distinct aims. The voice, the dress.
the look. the very motions of person

TO live for a reason.

that in view of the fact that people living

The Poor Little Ones

We often see children with red erup-
tons on face and hands, rough, scaly
skin, and often sores on the head.
These things indicate depravcd con
dition of the blood. In the growing
period, children have need of pure
blood by which to build up strong and
healthy bodies. If DR.. Pierce's Gold

blood is purgcd of its bad elements, and
the child development will be healthy,
