Home Influence.

The strongest incentive to character
building is the example of those whom we
love- Every boy, while his knowledge is
confined to his home, sees hero in his ia
ther; every girl believes her father the
finest type of man; mother" represents to
the children the perfect woman. Can
money or place or power gained by the
sacrifice of truth or honor ever compensate
a child for the loss of perfect trust in the
character of a parent?
When death comes to life crowned with
honor and the influence that like incense
comes as a tribute to an honorable life
love is grieved, but the promise TO such is
too rich, too inspiring for death to leave
more than a shadow But when death
enters and the children sit with the knowl-
edge that the influence of that life has been
for evil, then the bitterness of death is
known and felt, even if the knowledge of
that broken life is known only to the
children, to say my father" or "my
mother" and blush in ones soul at the
thought of what these words represent
robs life of its possibilities of Joy or
happiness.
Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord, for their works do follow them"
The children follow in the paths made and
kept luminous because father and mother
have walked in characterization Union.

Give the Baby Plenty of Water.

One glaring fault quite common with
mothers of infants is that they do not give
them all the water they need. Milk being
a liquid, they generally assume that it is
capable of satisfying thirst. This really
drives away thirst for short time, but 1t
soon returns and more intense than at
first, besides which the fluid portion OF
the milk rapidly passes through the stom-
ach and leaves a curdled mass behind,
which must linger there some hours to I'M
dergo digestion.
If milk is taken too often 1t is clear TO be
seen that it would be like eating dinner
shortly after breakfast, and soon following
this with lunch, and after brief interval
with supper.
There is absolutely nothing that will
satisfy the thirst of babies but pure, fresh
water And the habit OF giving it should
begin during the first week Of life. After
a baby has been nursed or fed, teaspoon
full of water should be put into its mouth
for the purpose of washing away all traces
of the milk.
Thequantity of ershould be increased
as the little one grows older, and be offered
him at frequent intervals. 1t will not be
long before be plainly manifests when he
needs drink and this most wholesome
beverage may always be given him at such
times.
Long crying spells are caused by thirst,
but the mothers no not always recognize
the need. Let them try water at such
times, and they will often find that they
have happily struck the cause.-Boston

Cycling for women has come TO stay. It

and her experience proves that her own

have been fatal to the exercise, and the
silent steed would have stood unused, I'M

Women and Dogs.

l don't sell one for days, then five or six or
q dozen right along. There is always a
pretty fair market here for thoroughbreds.

King Charles are the favorites, but they
are too high priced for most people to
reach. Bull terriers and hunting dogs al

sports and actresses. Women are great on

buys dog it is TO give it to a woman.

restoring the Polish.

Says {. housekeeper: my piano, which
had been covered with a cambria cover,
was loaded with dust that had sifted
through the sleazy cloth. The dust was
too thick to be wiped of; it should have
been blown and lightly whisked off first,
but this my maid did not do. and in con-
sequence the CRIME was wiped in, for all I
know, with a damp cloth. At all events
the highly polished surface was clouded
over almost to a gray, and l was in despair
until friend suggested q remedy. She
advised me to wiring as dry as could a
piece of channels from out basin of water
and rub the piano until the channels was
bone dry. This have done and complete
ly restored the polish. New York Times.

ing the royalty upon his work.
The result is that the French playwright
anxiously watches for the production Of
his plays here, and has personal interest
in his American audience. This outcome
of the foreign author keeping close watch
upon our country will lead to his writing
especially for our theaters, and we will
cease to have Americanized adaptations Of
foreign plays and the standards will be in
a state of constant improvement.
Miss Marbury thinks that the American
stage occupies a half way place between
the French and English theatres, the for
mer exhibiting the most finished school Of
acting and the greatest actors, while the
English representations, as a whole, reach
a high standard of artistic excellence. She
is ambitious for America to achieve tri-
umphs in the dramatic art, and has been
the means of arranging for the representa-
ton Of several productions Of American
playwrights in the prominent theaters OF
London and Paris.
HOW SHE WORKS.
Miss Marbury's work does not end with
the receiving, reading and placing of a
manuscript, but she is careful student OF
the dramatic art in all Of its branches.
Then, again, she is a constant frequenter
of the theaters, not only studying the
plays, but reading the temper Of the audi
ence Now she takes a chair in the par
quet and listens for the criticisms Of the
three dollar people; now in the balconies;
now in the family circle, and again listens
for the word of approval or the verdict that
condemns the play pronounced by that
strange unit, the audience, as il surges
into the foyer Just before it breaks up into
individual parts and persons. This is a
unique work for q woman-that Of mid

Within these few years she has become

practical and judicious advice and aid to

An Idea for Mothers.

Here is an idea for the mothers of unruly
children, emanating from John Ruskin,
who, though the idolizer of children, ad-
mits the undesirability of allowing the
young to usurp the place or despise the
wisdom of the aged. "But whose is the
fault?" he asks. Youth never loses its
modesty where age has not lost its honor,
nor did childhood ever refuse its reverence
except when age had forgotten correction.
The cry, Go up, thou bald headP will never
be heard in the land which remembers the
precept, See that ye despise not one Of
these little ones'"
