Girls and Their Mothers.

1t Is by no means an uncommon oc-
currence To hear girls complain of the
1artiality that mothers display toward
their sons II might naturally be sup
posed that if preference of amy kind
should be shown by mother to her
children the girls would be the favored
ones. because who is better acquainted
with the many disadvantages, compared
to boys. under which girls are placed,
and also their need for guidance and
protection, than mother herself;
There is also the common ground of
sex, which one is apt to think would
draw mothers and girls into closer bonds
of companionship But how many girls
are in the happy position Of possessing
mothers to whom they can turn in times
of uncertainty and into whose synpa-
thetic ears they can pour without re-
straint and III absolute confidence all
the JOYS and troubles. the hopes and
fears and thu numerous little affairs in
cidental 70 girlhood, and which. if told
at all, must be whispered into the ears
of one Of their own sex:
That there are many mothers to whom
every secret Of girls heart can be un
folded without fear one does not deny;
that there are many-perhaps more
mothers 10 whom their daughters are
literally strangers ON such subjects is n
well known fact. London Tit-Bits.

At Lagos. which is the great export
center for tie kola nut trade, the tree is
called the devil bush and the nuts by
a name which signifies hell seed" Al
though the people of Lagos earn all their
ready money by cultivating and ship
ping the kola nut to Bahia and other
places, no true native of the province
would put one Of them in his mouth for
thousand worlds. The trees are only
cultivated at certain time, and the
nuts are never gathered except at night
during full moon. III fact the growers
of kola nuts hold their devil bush" and
its "hell seed" in holy horror
Scientific experts sent out by the Brit
ish government to inquire into the facts
concerning the tree and its curious fruit

While the method of answering one
question by asking another is perhaps
tot one to be commended, there are GER
hinly some circumstances under which
h is allowable.
There are some people who delight in
islsing personal questions, no matter
low embarrassing and unnecessary they
may be, and who insist upon some sort
IF AN answer.
\ young author. whose opinion about
people and things i'll general is con-
sidered worth finding ont. says he has
adopted IA method of parrying the dis
l)ncerting questions so often put to him
Is almost total strangers, which proves
luccessful in nearly every instance.
when woman to whom have just
been introduced at "A literary evening
nsks me If really like this sort of en-
tertainment in IA confidential tone, re-
marks this much questioned man, Il
always ask her, just as confidentially.
DO you3 and she seldom makes any
further inquiries.
And when man buttonholes me in
secluded corner, and says: Come now,
rs matter Of fact, do you like young
Dabster: Do You think he will ever
amount to anything look him right
In the eye and say, Do YOU and he gen
orally understands what | mean"
There are some questions which can
be better answered i'll this way than in
any other, for every person has a right
to withhold his own opinion from pry-
ing interrogators, who usually have
nmble tongues and do not scruple to
use them. -Youth's Companion.
