STORAGE OF LIFE.
Perfected or All-Around Temperance ~
Important Factor.

Perfected or All-Around Temperance an
Important Factor.
Z An aid toward the storage of life Is
that stoical virtue which may be
summed up in the term perfected or
all-around temperance. l do not in
clude in this term what is commonly
understood abstinence merely from
stimulating or alcoholic drinks. Such
abstinence is more than half the bat
tie, but it is far from all the battle.
The storage of life is reduced by in
temperance of speech, of action and
even of -thought.~~We may consider
that whatever quickens the action of
the heart beyond its natural bounds is
a form of intemperance. In our pres
emit imperfect mode of existence, the
heart is fitted In each Individual, &C
cording, largely, to his heredity, to do
a certain amount of work, to beat a
certain number of beats, for dis
tributing daily certain number
of foot-tons of blood over the body.
and then of finishing its course
or career. 1t is probable that in
the work thus carried out nothing is
ever recalled. So much done, so much
lost The heart may wear out in it's
own structure by changes of disease
going. on there and that adds to the
evil, but | deal now with this ever
working organ in it's natural, state,
as dying; out simply by its own work,
and it is by so studying it that the diff
ficulties now being considered come to
view. Stimulation of various kinds,
fastening the decline of power, thus
comes into operation. and the organ
fails under it. Our good and useful
friend, the postman, feels it from the
excess Of his work on FOOT. the doctor
or nurse feels it when obliged to forfeit
the natural time of sleep; the man in
the money market Steels it when, for
that which is not bread, he lets his ex-
element of sale or purchase carry
his heart away into wild hope or
wilder despair; the man of I'M
bridled passion, who grows pale
or red with rage, feels it up to the
EXTREMIST tension, and is almost in
,variably cut short in his career long
before it is at its natural fulfillment,
by this fact of cardiac wear alone.
Beyond all these the jealous man
feels it and literally corrodes into
broken heart long before the proper
period for which he was constructed,
for OF all moral excitements, jealousy ia
the most fatal. It constitutes a dis
tinctive disease. These are sstimu-
lations excited by and through the
mind: but to them we must, of course,
add others of grosser quality spring.
ing from The improper use of foods
and drinks. Here, in regard to foods,
there lies before us a wide field for re-
search, for up to the present time
there has been very little discovered

TEACHING GOOD MANNERS.
The Most Hopeless Task Which Morta
Man Can Undertake.

The Most Hopeless TASK Wnlcn MOI ssi
Man Can Undertake.
But fine manners no code can teach.
If they are conscious they become ar.
tifcial, and are fine no longer. A man
indeed may be taught to avoid gross.
ness and impudence, and not to mis-
take them for ease. The youth who
puffs cigarette when he is walking
with lady, who is free and easy in.
stead of scrupulously courteous in his
address and tone, may be told that he
is merely ungentlemanly vulgar; and
if he choose he may correct his be-
havior; certainly he would correct il

of young men generally reflects the

tie insolent freedom of behavior upon
the part of their cavaliers.
What may be learned in the cultiva'
ton of good manners must be acquired
in the school of experience. 1t is, OF
course, superficial and external
knowledge which is so acquired. and
it's extent depends upon the power OF
accurate observation. Is it not
Goethe's Connoisseur who asks to see
the best pictures? But what deter
mines the best? Is it the state of the
owner, or their degl ee and kind Of
reputation? The manners which strike
Daisy Miller as fine, and which she
will emulate, are not those which
would attract another. The manual,
indeed, is the result of observation. 1t
is a lesson drawn from experience, and
it's value depends, therefore, upon the
fact that it is drawn by Daisy Miller
or by another. The better rule is the
more general one-not to think always
how you are behaving, but always so
cultivate that kindness of feeling,
that generous sympathy and friendly
understanding, which will uncon-
sciously regulate behavior. ..oe e.
The lovely lady of whom we were
speaking, whose sweet smile and good
morning children crossed the street to
see and hear, had studied no manual,
but was taught by her own kind heart.
Had she been cold, selfish, naughty,
supercilious, her manner, however
dazzling, would have been ICY. The
manual will do no harm if you use it
to correct obvious faults of behavior.
But good manners spring from a good
heart. They may be initiated, indeed.
The manners of Aaron Burr were
called fascinating. But they were

But we must remember that gold and
silver are still the only precious

COUNTRY HOMES.
A Contrast in Rural Family Life That Ii
.. Noticeable Everywhere.

A Contrast in Rural Family Life That IL
r Noticeable Everywhere.
1t has been my privilege to visit a
great many rural homes. In some it
seems no wonder that children grow
up tired of the humdrum; for from
morning till night the same routine
prevailed day after day. They must
do this and do that, and if little
tardy there was scolding, and when
they did as directed there was never
so much as ''thank YOU" Often !
grieved for many boy and girl just
nearing manhood or womanhood,
knowing that their hearts and minds
were starved. See them come into the
setting-room at evening-time, after
the days work on the farm, or in the
kitchen, and see them sit down SO
weary and spiritless, with nothing to
interest them-nO nice books or
papers; no innocent games to quicken
thought; no confidential talk with
father or mother, perchance about
some farm product which was to be
raised or sold; no bright rooms to
make home attractive. 1t was work.
work, with no thought beyond .ssaving
money; the. parents seemed to care
only for what the children could help
them make; and no part of the pro-
ceeds. however small, was given to the
children, to encourage them to work,
or to buy something which would
gladden. their lives. .......t.. ...,
Other homes were almost ideal.
Bright rooms; books and papers; in
telllgent conversation; a general air
OF refinement; loving words between
parents and children; perfect trust OF
the entire family. For each act, how
ever trivial, the kind thank you'' was
given, and request was accompanied
with an IF you please" No harsh
words, hardening the temper of the
young; and the days toll was pleasure
because the labor was appreciated.
The heads of such families are re-
warded by their children's love for
them and of home. and there will be
no need, or desire, to go to the homes
OF others, or to the streets for amuse-
ment; they will prefer their own
homes. Most children have taste for
the beautiful; give them some thing of
beauty for their own-a picture, a
book, an animal to pet, or whatever
they incline to, and then witness the
pleasure it will bring to them. En-
courage the children in all that tends
to ennoble; and in old age you can
look upon sons and daughters refined.
