will do well TO let these Nannies make

publican tastes and habits OF the people at
large.
With all its temptation to ostentatious
aud gaudy display and personal exclusive
ness it has always been maintained apart
from these. The wives of the presidents,
like the presidents themselves, have come
from the people and have taken the sim
pie but sufficient social forms of the coun-
try into this most conspicuous social posi-
ton as the lady Of the White House. I'm
der almost no administration has the
president himself been more firmly fixed
in the hearts Of the American people than
the lady who has directed the social life of
the executive residence during his term.
And the names of many of these ladies'
the best types of American womanhood-
stand out almost as prominently even as
the names of the presidents.
But the position has its penalties. The
exactions have been too much for some of
those upon whom the responsibility has
been thrown. Even those whose physical
strength has proved sufficient to all the
emergencies have found much in the
uever ceasing social attentions that was
extremely undesirable, even burdensome.
The semipublic character Of the daily life
Of all the members Of the White House
family is sadly destructive of true domes-
tic living. Philadelphia Press.

I'm awfully sorry for poor Jack Roe:
He's that boy that lives with his aunt, you

And he says his house is filed with gloom
Because it has got no mothers room"

To talk Of "boudoirs" and such fancy stuff
But the room Of rooms that seems best to me.
The room where I'D always rather be,
Is mothers room, where a fellow can rest
And talk OF the things his heart loves best.
What II I do get dirt about.
And sometimes startle my aunt with a shout?
IL is mothers room. and, il she don't mind,
To the hints Of others I'm always blind.
Maybe lose my thngs-what then?
In mothers room find them again.
And I've never denied that litter the floor
With marbles and tops and many things more:
But tell You, for boys with tired head,
IL is jolly 10 rest on mothers bed
Now poor Jack Roe, when he visits me,

Because it's the incest place 10 60
When fellows spirits are getting low.
And mother, she's always kind and sweet.
And there's always a smile poor Jack TO greet;

AVIAN with urlr MOURNING.

Why do we still continue to wear mourn
ing? The custom is outworn; it is an
anachronism in the Nineteenth century
It is unchristian; it clouds the spiritual
significance Of the resurrection with tho
ever present expression Of temporal loss.
It is cruel; it forces helpless and innocent
people into action which entails priva-
ton and unnecessary suffering. Il is I'M
truthful; It makes false outward show Of
changes in sentiment. And it is essential
ly vulgar, for it presses private affairs
upon public notice; it thrusts claims of
fashion and frivolity upon time which
most greatly moves the heights and depths
of being. and il forces It's superficial world
illness into the fercest throes which can
ever rend human nature.-Mary 4. Blake

Incidence in learning the names Of those

Among the most pernicious habits of
foolshly tender mothers is that of keeping
a light in the room in which little chill
dren are supposed to be trying to go to
sleep for the night. 1t is true that there
may be now and then an abnormally timid
or nervous child, for whom a light at such
a time is a necessity, but the vast majority
of infants are readily accustomed to going
to sleep in the dark, and the habit once
formed need not be broken over, unless ill

A Woman Who Has Proved Her Honesty.
One of the first women who were assigned
work in the treasury building was a
colored woman, Sophie Holmes by name.
One night when Sophie was sweeping
the refuse papers in her room she found a
box of greenbacks that had been cut,
counted and packed to transfer to the
vaults and had been accidentally over
looked. She did not dare call the watch
man for fear ne would be tempted beyond
resistance She thought of her four small
children at home alone, with no one to give
them their supper or put them to bed, but
the one duty that stared her in the face
was to protect that money. She sat down
upon the box and quietly waited for the
hours to go by.
At l o'clock in the morning she heard
the shuifling step Of General Spinner in
the corridor and heard him open the door
% his room. She quietly slipped along the
corridor, knocked at his door and told him
what she had found. The general had the
box taken TO his room and sent Sophie
home in his carriage. The next morning
when she returned she found the general
still Keeping guard. That night he sent
for her and placed in her hand her ap-
pointment papers, given for honesty, and
for thirty years she has earned and drawn
her fifty dollars per month.
Fifty thousand dollars was in this box
At another time she found $4,000, for
which the testimony can be seen over Gen
eral Spinner's own handwriting. Mary S.

A woman's wonderfuI work.

There is no more interesting story in the
history ofmodern science than that Of the
career Of Miss Marianne North, who de-
voted her life TO the painting Of pictures
Of plants and animals, and whose auto
biography bears the suggestive title, 'Rec-
objections of Happy Life"
Miss North had higher object than
merely to make beautiful pictures. She
sndeavored to represent with absolute
fidelity to nature the colors and forms of
lowers and plants, and the characteristics
Of animal life in all parts Of the earth.
She was fortunate in possessing sufficient
money to enable her to travel extensively.
and the results OF her studies are to be seen
IN the famous Kew gardens, where hun
lreds OF her paintings are displayed upon
the walls of a building which she CON
structed for the purpose and presented to
her native England.
There are few travellers who have seen
more of the various regions of the world
than Miss North She iOurneyed through
out Europe again and again. She visit
ed Egypt, Syria, the islands of the Med
terranean and the Canary islands. She
Travelled all through India with the
thoroughness of an explorer bent on leav-
ing nothing untouched. She traversed
Borneo and Java and visited the Malay
peninsula. She was in Japan, in Australia,
in Tasmania, in New Zealand. in South
Africa, in the Sandwich Islands, in South
America and more than once in Canada
and the United States.
The celebrated Darwin was delighted
with her work, and it was upon his advice
that she went to Australia to paint the
flowers Of what has been called the fifth
quarter Of the globe.
Miss North is described as having had a
stately presence and most charming
manner-Youth's Companion.

Loyalty in the home circle is not as often
considered as it ought to be; it should be
held as part of the ethics Of family honor
never to speak slightingly of any member
of the household to outsiders. The old and
somewhat vulgar proverb, Wash all your
soiled linen at home" contains the gist Of
an obvious truth. Parents should impress
this family loyalty upon their children.
and teach them that it means dignity and
strength and happiness TO be the guardians
of their own hearth, rs il were, the stanch
defenders Of the honor of the family.
Brothers and sisters should never allow
themselves TO say anything derogatory Of
each other to their acquaintance what
ever may be their private differences.
Husbands and wives would do well to re-
member that 'nagging" at each other, or
even what is called running each other
in public" is not only disloyal to the
family dignity, but is in very bad taste.
and is moreover exceedingly tiresome to
any one who may be with them. Mothers
--even good, loving mothers-have an I'M
wise way sometimes Of bringing every
trivial fault to the surface before any one
who happens TO be present.
Parents, too, should be loyal to their
children If they expect the latter to be
loyal TO them. Every noa., md again we
see a family where the "a all become
more or less prominent IA their various
walks in life, aud in almost every case
there will be found among them a very
strong sentiment Of what the world calls
circumstances, but what might be better
designated as faithfulness. Even from n
worldly point Of view young people would
do well to remember that whatever keeps
the family together in faithful allegiance
adds to the position and influence and con-
sideration Of each member Individually
