"a Soul Above Buttons"

ain the future there are two or three
women who are going TO rise up and
call me blessed" remarked the mother
fwuor rnrrc spvrrur- -,sv yvu
meanP"
"Yes indeed, l mean Just that. T
have no ambition 10 be a general bene-
factor to the general public. And I
don't know, ~by-the-way, that | have
any special kindly feeling to the
two or three women | spoke of. 1t
isn't for the sake Of my affection to-
ward them I'm earning their blessing
now" "
"Well, for gracious goodness! how
are you earning itP
why, I'm training my three sons to
sew on their own buttons! They are
beginning to do it of their own accord.
They don't follow me about the house
now, with a coat in one hand and a
button in the other. They go and get
a needle and thread and sew the button
on. They've found out it saves time
and strength and words.
@lt seems cruel TO make boys sew on
their own buttons"
Cruel? It's kind! Those BOYS won't
always have me to sew on buttons for
them. They would be badly off in
deed If they had TO do it sometime, and
didn't know how. It's right they
should learn to do such things for
themselves. A boy should be taught to
make his W bed, put away his own
clothing, and sweep and dust his own
room occasionally, and not always ex-
pect an overworked mother or younger
sister to do such work for him. | think
a boy ought not to be entirely ignorant
even of cooking. 1t might be a great
advantage to him some time to be able
to make a good cup of coffee, broil a
chop, or cook potatoes. Some people
profess to think that such knowledge
comes by nature; but / believe it.: Oft
ener the case that if m learned early,
1t has TO be bought of bitter expe-
%rience, and we all know experience is
q high-priced teacher to employ"
"Then it's for the boys own sake,
after all, and not for the sake of their
future wives. that YOU let them sew
on their WI buttons?"
"Why, of course! But sometimes I
do think how deliciously some girl will
be surprised. When one of those boys
finds a button of his shirt, he won't
stand and declare there hasn't been
one on in that place for at least six
months. He VIII know better. He
will only say, meekly: How careless I
am! My dear, will you kindly hand
me my little button box out OF the
front fight-hand corner Of the second
drawerv | must sew this button before
put on the garment.-Ha,per's

TO an insane asylum of Mrs. William

Gated divorce cases in the history OF

was granted and Carlisle fonnd him

the former order. Mrs. Ellen Carlisle
found herself again divorced. while
