Do Athletics Pay7

Although man may succeed in
placing new records to his credit for
running, walking, jumping, etc., and
derive great deal of pleasure in SO
doing, the question natur ally arises
Does it all pay? What benefit is it
to man in after life if he was in his
youth able to cover short distance
ofground in less time than any OF
his rivals? Does it do good to any
man if he can walk a mile in few
seconds less than it has ever been
done before? Athletes who have
done these things say that it does;
that the habits of training inculcat-
ed in their early athletic days still
stay by them, and physically they
are in better condition than they
would have been had they not gain
ed the habit of taking care of them
selves. A strong man is always at a
greater advantage in the world than
is q weaker one, and is apt to keep
up his early training all through his
life for that reason If for no other
Scribner's.

Buttermilk as a Medicine.

With the rapid growth, of recon-

the reintroduction of old and we'll

which buttermilk demands a respee-

of the writer's (Dr, Landry in Popu-
lar Science News) was suffering from
severe consumptive cough. None of
the usual antispasmodIcs, expecto-
rants, etc., seemed to do any good,
simply because her stomach was too
weak to bear enough medicine to
effect the purpose. Finally l suggest

for its pedestrian accomplishments,
and a peculiar habit they have is to
walk always in the center of the road.
When one of these birds meets a
rattlesnake it behaves in such a GOV
manner that it leads the snake to
think it will become the victim of it's
charm, and while it is keeping the
snake in doubt as to it's intentions it
runs about in the cactus and
picks off the thorns with it's bill,
dropping them in q circle around the
snake until it has him completely sur
rounded by cactus thorns. Then is

it, and set it in the window to make
a bright path up the sands. Again
six months elasped, and other sailors
arrived from far-off lands, but they
had no news to" tell of the ship. A
great storm had happened and she
was overdue. She might yet make
port, but-and people shook their
heads and carried no tales to the
widow, whose candle burned brightly
every night and cast long streamers
of light out upon the sea. Another
year passed, but the sailors going or
coming brought no news of the ship,
and the neighbors whispered apart
and shook their heads whenever any
spoke of the widows son, but no one
was curel enough to cut the slender
threads which held the anchor of her
hoep. And thus the light continued
to glow out towards the sea at
every gioaming and burned steady
through every night.
Years came and went. The chill

lad had grown to be men and women;
her own head had been silvered with

dared to cut the cables of her hope.
Tender words cheered her and tender
hands smoothed the way for her as
she patiently waited for the home
coming of her tair-haired boy, and,
every night the glow of her candle;
streamed out to seaward and told
the story of the loving heart waiting
at home.
How many years did she watch and
wait? l do not know. But one day,
at eventide, there was no cleaning

window remained dark, and the ac-
customed beacon failed the fisher folk
and when they wondered snd vent

mothers soul had gone out to seek

"A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW" "
The Story on Which the Song Was
Founded.

The Story on Which the Song Was
Founded.
Louisville Times: Few are proba-
bly, the persons who have not one time
or other heard the Sunday school
song, "a Light in the Window. "Un-
less lam mistaken it is founded upon
a story told upon the little Island of
Sylt, but which might easily have its
exact counterpart on almost any
seashore where a mothers heart
beats with yearning love for her sail
or son and keeps it's fond promises
from night to night.
Among the simple fisher folks on
the island lived a woman and her son.
He was her only child, the pride of
her heart as well as the source of con-
slant dread, for the boy loved the
sea as his father before had loved
it, and nothing gave him SO much
pleasure as to W atch the incoming
tide tumble it's curling waves over
the sands. No sooner was he strong
enough to WELD an oar and stee r
boat than he joined the men in
their fishing expeditions.
The mother, with all her fears and
the fate of a long line of sailors in her
mind, yet would not have had it other
wise forit would have been deemed dis
honor among the hardy coasters to
have kept the boy at home or sent
him safely at work for some farmer.
Whatever the dangers, they must be
faced for the sake of family pride.
Had not the boys grandfather been
a captain when he went away the last
time? Had not his father sailed his
own ship when he went down in a
great storm? The child was the last
ofhis race, but he must not dishonor
it by tame and cowardly safety on
shore. So the boy grew up, tall of
his age, straight as mast, nimble
as the feetest and handiest boat,
blue-eyed, fair-haired, true-hearted, a
real son of the sea. The fishermen
taught him the tricks OF his craft un-
til he knew how to sail boat, splice
a rope, or do many little things
which a sailor must know. When
ever a ship was in the offing he was
soon aboard, learning the rigging
and how work was performed upon
her. Hewas a great favorite among
the 'ongshore folks and with the
sailors, and when at last his 18th
year came around and he obtained the
consent of his mother to 60 to sea,
he easily found good ship and cap
tain. Then there was parting and
tears shed bv the mother, while he

Authority IN the Home.

There's another thing, q rock on
which the happiness of unselfsh
mothers is often wrecked, and which
you must never lose sight of, for the
sake ofyour children as we'll as your
self. Always keepyour rightful place
as the head of the household.
says a writer in Harper's Bazar,
Young America is strong-willed and
progressive. 1t is very apt,
entirely without malice, to push
aside the mother whose cares
have worn upon her, who let's herself
get old fashioned or behind the times
SO that while not exactly ashamed
the children are yet not quiet proud
of her. Avoid this danger at what,
ever cost of time and study. Let not
the world slip away from you; dress
at least as we'll as your daughter
you ought to dress better-go out
with her, hel p her entertain hel
friends. Fall into the new way OF
things, which she will be sharp to see
and to point out-laying a table,
serving luncheon, even pronouncing
words.
Donot think I recommend that the
whole household shall be set to the
tune OF "My Daughter" I mean,
simply, that you shall make her life
pleasant and busy, that you shall
not attempt to drive her in any OF
ways your wisdom decides to be-
lou shall not fill her days
her runcomfortableI4 .--.--.a1rCo think
of marriage as IA release, and that
you shall not mortitv her by anti
quated ways.
This critical age happily does not
last forever, and the one thing to
hold on to, at whatever price, is your
daughter love for you, and her con-
fidence in your interest in her. If she
develops desire for an Independent
income of her own earning, this is a
healthy impulse, and you must help
her. Have her trained in the one
thing she can do till it will bring in
money. She will probably be content
to work at it at home, and enjoy
there the freedom it gives her, or even
to practice it only for the pleasure OF
her friends.
Whatever she feels imperative to
her life, assist her in and give her the
benefit very sparingly) ofyour age
and experience. OF course, she will
not take it; no one will learn by an
others knowledge-it is part of our
life's discipline to acquire our own.
The one way to keep your daughter
yours in nheart at this critical "storm
and stress" period is to keep her as
near you as possible, to advise when
she wants advice, to comfort under
failure, to be her refuge and best
friend always.
This, o mother, is your holy and
divinely appointed mission. By these
means you will guide that tempest
tossed bark through the whirlpool,
past rocks, around the falls, and
have the comfort ofseeing it pursuing
it's calm and even way in the stiller
waters beyond.
