Well to Remember.

That cheerfulness is the weather of
the heart.
That sleep is the best stimulant, a
nervine safe for all to take.
That it is better to be able to say no,
than to be able to read Latin.
That cold air is not necessarily pure
nor warm air necessarily impure.
That cheerful face is nearly as good
for invalid as healthy weather.
That advice is like castor oil, easy
enough to give, but hard enough to
take.
That there are men whose friends
are more to bespitied than their enc
mics.
That wealth may bring luxuries, but
that luxuries do not always bring hap
piness.
small stones, and great lives made up
of small events.
That nature is rag merchant who
works up every shred and art and end
into new creations.
That an open mind, an open hand,
and an open heart, would everywhere
find an open door.
That it is not enough to keep the
poor in mind, give them something to
make them keep you in mind.
That men often preach from the
hOuse-tOps while the devil is crawling
into the basement window.
That life's real heroes and herOines
are those who bear their own burdens
bravely and give helping hand to
those around them.
That hasty words often rankle in
the wound which injury gives, and
that soft words assuage it; fOrgiving
cures, and forgetting takes away the
scar. [--Ex.

A WOMAN'S ALLOWANCE.

A year or two before | was married
boarded one winter with a very ex-
cellent family in a Western village.
The husband and father was a good
man, but he had what his wife called
his "touchy points," and, good and
honest man though he was, some of
these "touchy points" were a lifelong
source of sorrow to his wife, who was
IL good and faithful wife and mother,
tidy, thrifty, and ever watchful of the
common interests of the family. She
was economical to the last degree and
most Industrious. She seemed to me
to be a model wife. Her husband
thought so, too, and would have re-
scented any imputatiOn to the contrary.
He taught his children to honor and
love their mother, although failing, as
it seemed to me, in manifesting love
and honor for her at all times, but
these times were only when his "tOuch
lest point" had been pressed upon.
One day | accidentally heard the
wife say to her eldest daughter, "No,
dear; l cannot ask your father for
money for you new hat. You know
how very touchy he is on that point.
l sometimes lie awake half the night
ing or saving so that L need not say
the word money TO your father. Moth
ing hurts him so much as to be asked
for a little money. l dread to think of
asking him for money for anything"
How many wives who read Good
Housekeeping suffer this same injus-
tice and modification
l was engaged to Mrs. Dane at that
I ho
she should have a purse of her own,
and that it should never go empty if |
had anything to put in it. We have
have faithfully adhered to that resolu-
ton. And there is no ''fixed sum"
about it. Household expenses vary at
different seasons of the year and under
various circumstances. Ten dollars
will, perhaps, cover all the expenses
one week, and the next may be a
Canning" or company" week, and
several extra dollars will be required.
In any case, L resent the idea that my
wife is mere pensioner on myIbounty.
l reject the imputatiOn that she has
not common sense enough to know the
value of money and dare not be trust
ed with it. | am not a "wOman's
iiShCcI, III Ino popular sense vi Cne
term, but l thank the Lord that l am
man enough to recognize the fact that
my wife as my wife and the mother of
my children, has rights, money spend
ing rights, that L have no business in
terfering with. Every good wife
should have this as a royal marriage
prerogative. 1 regard Mrs. Dane as
an equal partner in the contract under
which we have become a firm for life.
We share profits and losses alike.
There is one money-drawer to which
we both have free access. L have not
the inclination nor the right to limit
my wife in her daily expenditures so
long as those expenditures, are within |
reason. Most wives and mothers hon
estly earn all they spend. A woman
who does her duty as a wife and moth

Concerning the Pass.

AS the times have come to be, more
over, it should be the rule of the asso-
citation not to ask for or accept free
transportation over any railroad, or to
receive any free entertainment. The
time was when pass given a newspa-
per man meant nothing more than an
exchange of cOurtesies, or an acknowl-
edgement of friendly things said or
was implied in it's tender or accept
aDce. Many times at the present day
it means nothing more than this, but
it has grown to be thing of such gen
eral abuse, and the free pass has be-
come so much political factor, that
the spirit of the times is against the

ssLET COP

1t requires grit to take hold it re-
quires grace to let go. Take hold is a
common virtue in America let go is a
rare grace in America. We are all ex-
hOrting one another to ego ahead y
we sometimes need the exhOrtation to
stop. 1t requires as much wisdom to
know when to let go as to know when
to take hold it requires as much cOur-
age to let go as to take hold, and even
more self denial. 1t is mistake to
suppose that Americans are nation
of mere money-makers. They work
for works sake; money constitutes
only kind of counter which shows
who has won in game of life. We do
not play for the counters, but for the
game. He is wise who knows how
and when to stop the play. The bust
ness man finds himself entangled in
business he exhOrts himself to hold
on and go ahead if he can but tide
over this week, this month, this year,
he will come into clear water. He in
vests all that he has laid up; he bOr-
rows from his wife, from his friends !;
he exhausts first his capital and then
his credit; and when at last he goes
down, he involves wife, family and
friends in his ruin. If he had only
been wise enough to let go earlier, he
and his would have suffered less. The
wife and mother carries on her heart
the burden of her home, her husband,
her children. She wakes every morn
ing weary, and exhOrts herself to take
hold she spurs a laggard brain to re-
luctant work far into the night, and
compels herself to hold on. In vain
her husband urges her to ''slack a lit
tle." His kindly urging only adds to
her burden. She says to herself, if
not to him "Men cannot understand
wOmen's work he can stop, but [ can
not. My home must be cared for, my
children nurtured and watched over"
At last she breaks down entirely. The
overweight nerves give way, and she
becomes a chronic invalid or she goes
to an early grave !; and the husband
and children are left to live on with
out the care which she mistakenly
thought indispensable. If she had
only grace to let go as we'll as the grit
to hold on, it would have been far bet
ter for those she loved, and whom, by
the unwisdOm of her love, she burden
ed. The scripture is wiser in this re-
spect than American instinct and con-
science, for it contains many exhOrta
lions to us to "wait." For an active
man or woman to let go of life, stop
activity, leave others to bear the bur-
dens and do the toll, and stand one
side, a mere OnlOoker-this is, perhaps,
the hardest experience that ever comes
to the lot of Gods children; but it is
often very valuable one. Moses let
go when he was herdsman in the
and David when he was an
outlaw in the limestone caves of South
ern Judea, and Paul when he was in
retirement in Arabia. and Luther when
he was in Wartburg. We commend to
all overburdened souls the grace of
''let go."-[ Christian Union.

While returning from school one
muddy day Tommy fell into the gutter
with the result that it was rather hard

may judge of my surprise when | took
up the CaledOnian of July Is and look
ing over the list of animals belonging
to Doris menagerie, found in it the
Egyptian Bovalapus. Thinks /, what
kind of an animal is that 2 L never
heard of it before. Then L tried to
compound the name from Greek and
Latin words, but after exhausting my
knowledge of the dead languages upon
the remarkable animal, was still as
much as ever in doubt as to its nature.
Next l went to my library and exam
ined all the works on natural history
with which it is stored. They were
all as silent as the grave. So far from
giving any lengthy description of the
animal so new to me they did not even
name it. With my natural pride of
learning 1 rejoiced to arrive at the
sage conclusion that there is no such
animal, but that the tricky Snowman
had invented the name in order to
draw in young and unlearned persons
who might have a desire to see new
things. Much l chuckled over the
thought that by reason of my great
knowledge of natural history l could
not be caught in a trap baited with
such "a name. Since, then, L had no
desire to see the circus, the principal
attraction of which Judging from the
show bills) seemed to be females in a
state of almost nudity, in postures not
the most modest, and since the menag-
erie afforded no inducements, determ-
ined not to visit the show at all, nor to
90 even to see the street procession.
You may judge of my chagrin after
the show had gone away when | found
that the Egyptian BOvalapus had in
deed been at the show and that it man
ifested itself to be worthy to be named
rather at the head of the list than in
the place to which Doris had assigned
it; and that /, because of my supposed
knowledge, had missed the rare OPP
portunity. 1t is supposed to be called
the Egyptian Bovalapus not to init
mate that it came from Egypt; but
because it is believed to bear a remark
able resemblance to the mixed multi
tude that came up from Egypt at the
time that Moses led the children of
Israel into the wilderness.
From all can learn of the animal,
by carefully examining all that is said

Lees headquarters he saw the shells
bursting continually around his tent
and blowing up the ground in front of
him. Some of the officers asked Mr..
Reagan to try and persuade Gen. Lee
to move his headquarters behind a
piece of timber near by. All felt that
he was exposing his life too much.
Mr.. Reagan said to Gen. Lee: 81 do
not presume to advise any general in
the midst of a battle, but are You not
exposing yourself too much 7 Ought
not you to go back nearer your re-
serve qn Gen. Lee said he had no re-
serve. He had only one line of men.
He did not dare to shorten his line for
fear it would be turned, and did not
dare to thin it for fear it would be
broken. Gen. Lee evidently sought
death many times during the closing
days of the war. This was the view
of the southern leaders then, and is
still believed by many.
