have learned. The main point is to
secure obedience. The greatest
criminals are usually well yersed in
the laws OF the land; but their knowl
edge does not avail to keep them out
OF the penitensiary when they have
broken these laws. Neither will a
knowledge of the laws of health keep
a man from being sick, so long as he
does not live up to his knowledge.
We are creatures of imitation.
Example counts for more than pre-
cept. The parent knows the law, and
the child knows it also. When the
parent keeps it, then the children
will keep it also. 1t does little good

HOW to Make Home Attractlve.

On the above subject the Voice
offered prize tor the best short es-
say Three of the essays were 50
equal in merit that the judges divid-
ed the prize among the writers OF
those three. The following is one Of
the three prizes:
Two things are necessary to con-
stitute true home. Home does not
consist in locality or place alone, but
in union of persons and place.
"Home ID where there's one to lovel
Home is where there's one to love usl'
Keeping this twofold idea in mind,
let us consider what We can do TO
make home attractive.
Be intelligent. Ignorance and
stupidity are never attractiye Those
whose conversation is confined to
the neighborhood gossip or to the
latest change in fashion need not
wonder to find Others firing of their
society. Be cheerful. No person
can long feel any great attraction
+ toward the man or woman whose
countenaDce continually resembles a
thunder.clo or whose words are
like the chill, drizzly droppings of a
November rain.
Be polite. Because we are at
home we have no right to drop the
little courtesies and amenities of
social life. Surely we ought to give
the same generous recognition TO
little acts performed by husband,
wife. child. as we would if rendered
by mere Acquaintance or stranger.
A bright smile and d warm sthank
you' will always send ray of sun
light through any home. and nothing
is more attractive than light.
Dress attractively. Do not think
anything will do for home.'
Be Christian. Not in an obtrusive.
preachy" way, not with resigned,
martyr air, but be a bright, happy,
living one, There is no attractive
power like the Christ power.
Finally make the place attractive
also. Beautify and adorn it, Con-
slider it home. Do not furnish the
parlor and live in the kitchen. De
not keep easy.chairs to dust and
wooden stools TO sit upon. Fill the
home with music and gladness.
Make the home like the mansions in
the Fathers home above, and it will
be attractive. "ELLICE BEE"

Something About tho Azores.

The Azores, or Western Islands, on
which the rescued passengers and crew
were landed, is group Of islands in the
North Atlantic, between latitude 36 de-
grees and 55 minutes and 80 degrees Al
minutes north, and longitude 2J degrees
and 10 minutes and 81 degrees 16 min.
utes west, about 800 miles from the
coast of Portugal The area of the
islands is over eleven hundred square
miles, and the population about 250, 600.
The Azores comprise three minor groups.
the northwest consisting of Flores and
Corvo, the central of Terceira, San Jorge.
Pico, Fayal and Graciosa, and the south
east of San Miguel and Santa Maria.
and they extend from southeast to
northwest about 400 miles The largest.
San Miguel, is fifty miles long and
from five to twelve miles broad. They
are all of volcanic origin, and have suf-
fered severely from eruptions and earth
quakes. A volcanoe rose suddenly to the
height of B 500 feet in San Jorge in 1903,
and burned for six days, desolating the
entire island. In 1911 volcano rose
from the sea near San Miguel, and after
vomiting ashes and stones disappeared
The peak of Pico, on the island
Of the same name, is 1858 feet
high. All the islands are
rugged and picturesque, with
steep shores The climate is moist but
agreeable, and vegetation is luxurious,
fruits abounding, as well as sugar cane,
coffee aud tobacco. The principal exports
are wine, brandy, oranges, lemons, beef
pork and coarse linens, and their value
is about 81, 200, 600 annually There are
no good harbors, the least exposed being
Angra, on the Island Of Terceira. The
name Azores is from the Portuguese
word acor, lhawk,) and they were so
named because Of the great number Of
hawks observed on them.
