MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS.
Something About the Relationship they
Bear 10 Each Other.

! II all that mothers are to them came
home to the perceptions Of daughters at an
earlier period, they would be more anxious
than they generally seem to be to spare
those mothers, to prolong their days, and
save them from much of the exertion and
anxiety that are likely to shorten their lives,
and that if only from merely selfish rea-
sons. How many daughters are there who,
if it lies between them to do it, do not let
their mothers rise in the morning and
make the fire and prepare the breakfast;
ahe, in the interim between cooks, do not
let the whole burden of care and the chief
endeavor Of work come upon the mother;
who do not let the mother get up in the
night and attend to the calls Of sudden i'll
ness; Who if it is necessary 10 watch with
the sick, do not hold themselves excused,
anu the duty to be maternal one; who do
not feel it their privilege to be ready for
callers and company while the mother is
still in working deshd5tlIe; who are not In
the habit of taking the most comfortable
chair; and who, IN the matter of provision
of toilet, do not think almost anything
will do for mother, but they themselves
must be fresh and fine and In the tasbions
How many daughters are there who, when
pieasure-taking comes in question, do not
feel, even If perhaps unconseiously. that
the mother has had her day and ought to
be eontented, and they should be the ones
to 60 and take the enjoyment?
It would seem as if the mere sentiment
OF self-preservation would teach daughters
better line OF conduct. 1t is the mother
making the central spot Of the bouse
usually that makes home possible. It is
the mother from whom the greater part of
the happiness of the home proceeds. IF
she dies, the home disintegrates. or it is
not unusual that another comes in to take
her plaee-a foreign and alien element
before whom the old union and happiness
may possibly fig. To preserve this home
and this happiness, one would imagine.
should be the first effort of the daughter.
that she should, cut of regard for her own
comfort and qualification, as well as for
that Of others, seek every means to make
life easy to the mother, to insure her health
and length Of days. Never again will any
daughter have such friend as this mother:
no fond adorer's eyes will ever follow her
with the sane disinterested love as tits
mothers eyes do. nor will any give her the
sympathy she does. 1t is wild folly on
the daughters part that lets the mother
waste her strength, instead of seeking by
every means possible to save and increase
1t; for while good mother is with her
family they are entertaining an angel,
whether unawares ornot. Hafper's Ba.ay.

AMgSE THE CHILDREN

Parents wonld spare themselves many
an anxious, bitter moment, in after years,
II, in the training OF their children they
would direct more special attention 10
interesting and amusing them. Instead
OF making home prison house, as it were,
where quiet must reign supreme, and all
hilarity be suppressed, make it the ore
bright spot OF all others, where joy may be
uneonhned. Teach them to be deeorous
in the presence of, and deferential to, their
elders, but encourage them to laugh and be
happy, and promote, SO far as you may,
all their schemes for njoyment-not omit
ting timely caution to be careful of their
clothes and Of the furniture. Furnish
them the means of happily spending the
hours with their parents at home. ard
when they grow older they will have
learned TO love home above all other
places and will have no occasion to seek
pleasure elsewhere. Bear all this in mind,
all you who have the care ofehildren, and,
in your declining years, you will have a
stay and comfort in the companionship of
your grown-up sons and daughters, instead
Of, as is too often the case, perplexing your
brains in vain surmises as TO how and
where they spend their evenings. School

Fare four good-sized potatoes and let
them lie in cold water for half an hour.
Put one quart of boiling water in a sauce
pan; now crate the potatoes quickly and
stir them into the boiling water; stir over
the fire for five minutes, then take from the
fire. add half cupful of sugar, two table
spoonsful Of salt, turn into a stone lar

add one cupful of good yeast or half
cake OF compressed yeast, cover and let il
ierment three or four hours. Stir it down
every time it comes to the top Of the bowl.
Ihen put it into a jar or large bottle, some
thing that you can cover tightly and stand
1t ia place where it will keep very cold.
1t should keep two weeks. Save out one
enpful Of the yeast to start the next
batch. As many persons are puzzled to
Know how yeast can ever be started With
out using other yeast to begin with, you
can start the Yeast by boiling halfa cur

God has given us this tripartite nature of
body, mind, and spirit, and he expects of
US that each division Of our nature shall
be equally cared for. The minister, the
professional man, the merchant, and the

building up the body by some simple and

DANGEROUS COMPANIONS.

When young fellow has made up his
mind to walk on the edge Of precipiees for
the sake of seeing prospects, he always
finds plenty Of company.
There are an abundance of people with
strong heads, who having walked these
paths till they are quite certain of their
foot hold, are ready TO go ont with giddy
new beginners. If they accidentally lose
their heads and fall over, whose fault is
that? Not theirs, of course. They never
fall. They look where they step, and their
heads do not turn. 1t is not drunkards and
thieves who are dangerous companions to
the green boys just frem the city-oh, dear,
no. 1t is your respectable young men that
have learned to sip discrectly in all sorts
of forbidden fountains and nibble here and
there carefully of the forbidden fruit They
are held up as patterns They drink, but
are never drunk. They have exactly the
knaek of seeing and knowing all that there
is to be seen ard known in the ways Of
wiekedness, and yet keep even step with
the righteous. Some Of them are church
members and Sunday school teachers some
are shrewd, regular business men. They
are never going 10 hurt themselves, they
tell you, but they believe in certain tree
dom. They could never see the sense of
temperance pledges. For their part, they
don't need them; and If there is anything
they do abominaie, It's your radical,

THE OLD MOWER.

In the days OF my youth remember
An old mower sang me this tune:
"The aftermath of the September
Is not the sweet clover of June"
And he said; ''W hatever thy station,
Whatever thy hands may enjoy
Be true to thy best Inspiration
@Tls thy Angel of blessings my boy"
Then swift rung his scythe, the old farmers,
And fast fell the grass to the rune,
"'The aftermath of the September
Is not the sweet clover of june
The osprey's green wings drifted DER me,
On the suntides, while glinting below,
TIE bob-o-links topped before me,
And The wind blew the daisies like snow.
All nature seemed filed with citation.
And the old farmer whistied for Joy;
otis the fruit of life's young inspiration
That fills life with gladness, my boy"
And his scythe all embedded with flowers,
lie piled up the grass TO the rune:
"'The aftermath of the September
Is not the sweet clover of June
The gray walls with roses were glowing,
The blue lilies breathing below;
Affair." were the meadow brooks flowing
By the mill. in the high noon agiow
And he said, while the herons wheeled over
And screamed in the sun in their joy,
1.-THE air is all fragrant with clover,
Twas clover planted, my boy"
And on paced the red.shirted farmer,
And ON fell the grass 10 the rune:
1.-THE aftermath of the September
Is not the sweet clover OF June
"'Iis the spring time that glows with endeavor
And gives TO young purpose its power;
The sun of the autumn Will never
Bring forth the ripe fruit from the flower.
Though the aftermath springs from the clover
The clover comes not from the fern;
Give thy hand to thy best inspiration,
Thy spring time will never returnr'
And on swept the scythe OF the farmer,
And ON fell the grass to the rune:
"'The aftermath of the September
Is not the sweet clover of june"
One day, when September was burning,
1 met the old farmer again,
The thin swathes OF the aftermath tuning
Where once the thick clover had lain.
And gone were the roses and lilies,
One lone robin sung in the tree:
at IS clover that comes from the el 5ver
But the first cut was double, you see"
And he rifled his scythe, that cd farmer,
And cut the thin grass to the rune:
" THE aftermath OF the september
Is Lot the sweet clover of june
"Ah, youth is no season for leisure,
Too wide its horizons expand:
In thy purpose ana struggle find pleasure
That is worthy the brain and the hand,
And hold as the wiles the tempter
Whatever that purpose debars;
The lamps of the red billiard palace
Are not the white lights of the stars
And rung his old scythe to the rifle,
And cut the thin grass to the rune
"rhe aftermath of the September
Is not the sweet clover ofJune"
The years of my youth are all ended,
The old man sleeps under the fern,
But oft the long days OF my childhood
And the rune of the bayfield, return.
Ills the seed ofthe spring that has PROMISE
The choicest seed, bounteously sown,
And the bre 9TH of the spring time Will never
Come back to the fields that are mown.
And over, and over, and over,
My years bring the thought of the rune:
That no aftermath sweet of the clover
Is like the sweet clover of June.

winter, but last evenings appearance of Mr..

the most characteristic points in Mr. Nikisch's
thoroughly original methods HIS performance

Nlklsch's reading il evidently based on
SIS OF it in his great essay on
conducting, and many of its traits can be
traced back to this inspiring treatise, especially
the striking effects gained by almost imper-
ceptible variations in the tempo, slight and
gradual accelerations, the sudden return to the
slower time at the recurrence of the cantabile
melody; the long, momentOus pause before the
commencement Of the final section, and the

voice and her fluent and extraordinarily brilliant
