There wasn't thing To hinder
And they needed him much inside;
But he ratified nis uuiver and said with . sigh

Love came 10 the castle window,
And he found great broad stair;

There is nothing in this world so bad as
perpetual motion. What blessed thing that
no one has ever yet quite invented perpetual
mc;.onl Yet know some little mothers
that are almost that; they never come to a
full stop--nct till death trips them up. do
not wonder these little bodies think of the
future life only as rest--one great eternal
rest. That word involves all that they can
conceive as desirable, So this life becomes
tolerable because it points toward one huge
stop. 1t is their fate here to 60 on. lfit be

never could stop. Yes, 1 know some babes
that at birth looked as if they had worked
hard for 100 years; and they never get over
their weazened look. They always looked
ifagced; but with fretted nerves they go
trotting on through life, hoping for rest
hereafter. What can genuine Yankee

she knows no more how to stop than she
knows how to fly.
And how is it about the boys and girls

Poverty is no discriminator Of persons. 1t
binds the refined woman and the impractical
woman in the same chains that rest more
lightly upon the broad shoulders Of yerita-
ble Bridget or a peasant born drudge. To
live in comfort there is more work necessary
in a household than mere onlookers ever
dream of. The routine of good housekeeping
is Ike the steps taken by sheep on treadle
it IS walk, walk, walk all the time, and
never any advance to new ground. There
are more martyrs in the kitchens than ever
vet perished at stakes. Smile att their discom-
forts and their sorrows if you win, but the
woman doomed to do kitchen work, who has
no taste or adaptability for it, is sight for
tears rather than scorn.
There are onlytwc remedies for her lot;
une is patient endurance Of it; the other is to
cet out Of it. To endure it, lift it as high as
YOU can out Of the shadows. Cultivate-if
God has not niercifully given it to you-an
appreciation of the ludicrous- A good laugh
will put to flight more cares than shotgun

The Oldest rrss on Earth.

The oldest tree on earth, at least as
far as any one knows, is the Boo tree,
in the sacred city Of Amarapoora, Bur
nah. 1t was planted, the record says,
in the year 2SS b. c., and is therefore
nearly 2,2O0 years old. Its great age is
proved according to historic documents,
says Sir James Emerson, who adds;
''To it kings have dedicated their do
minions in testimony Of belief that it
is branch of the identical fig tree
under which Buddah reclined at Urum-
elva when he underwent his apotheo-
SIS" Its leaves are carried away by
pilgrims as relics, but as il is too sacred
too touch with q knife, these leaves can
only be gathered after they have fallen.

As rule southern women have small and
pretty feet. Certainly they do not spoil them
in walking, for in no section Of the country Is
so little physical exercise indulged in by the
gentle sex. They, too, are large Of eye and
soft Of speech. To make themselves agree
able is canon, and their !lattcry isseductiye
because apparently unconscious. They are
strong not only in family feelings nnd the
ties of kinship, but have an unhounded pride
in their particular state, and an affection SO
strong for it that If the old issue had de-
pended on women one doubts that they ever
would have been beaten.--New York Press.

It is not a welcome fact, but 1t is very
pregnant one, that the less babies are talked
to and noticed the first year the better. All
success in training them, indeed, depends
upon this calm letting them alone, leaving
the nerves unwrought upon, and allowing
the little frame time to become accustomed
to the strain upon it of acquaintance with
this restless, rioting world of ours.-Demo-
