About Little Tongues.

Opinions alter with the times, and
many law strictly enforced In the
home circle half q century ago has
to-day been cast aside as an Old-fash-
ioned or even mistaken rule. The
prim caution, "Children should be
seen but not heard, y has nearly passed
into disuse, and perhaps it is quite as
well. But for one thing, opinions va
ried even in the sterner past as to the.
best method Of training for the table
We can distinctly recall the case Of
one family where it was forbidden the.
little people to speak while at their
meals, except to ask for what they
wanted. There were frequently guests
at the table, and it was thought im--
proper to have the conversation shared
in to any extent by children.
Opposed to this was another family
where the parents " ere equally INTEL
ligent, but who held that, intercourse
should be unrestricted at the family
board. 1t was thought to be just the,
place for Interchange Of ideas, rela-
tion of such events as might be Of
interest, or afording excellent oppor-
tunity for discussing the sermon, the
concert, or even the latest party.
Perhaps only two facts need be. re-
corded concerning the children ofthese
different households in later years.
They grew to manhood and woman-9
hood equally well equipped to preside
with grace and ease at tables Of their
own. But the children who were
free to share the converse Of the meal
retained a pleasanter remembrance Of
hours spent at the table In their child
hood days than those who were sub
ject to the rule of silence. -.

Dant,a for Women.

Dorothy Maddox in the Philadel-
phia Inquirer gives the following hints
to her sex:
Don't get confidential. No woman
ever gave her family affairs into am
other woman's keeping, that she did
not live to see the folly of so doing.
Don't tell woman how thin or how
stout she is growing. Most women
loathe either extreme. =
Don't let your curiosity prompt you
to ask embarrassing questions about!
hair and complexion. This Is the
time of the year when coiffdre and;
skin cannot stand too close criticism.
Don't discuss religion, politics, or:
the divorce court, unless you are post
ed as to the inner life of your lis.
teners.
Don't tell a sister that she looks as
young as her daughter. This implies
surprise that she has succeeded In
cheating Father Time Of his just per-
quisites. 80.
Summing it all up in a nutshell, II
you would WOO and win friends, If
you would foster tenderness of heart
and refinement of soul, cultivate tact.
Ah, 1t Is of all links the most perfect
in forging love or friendship fetters.

Sleep as a Medicine The cry for
rest has always been louder than the
cry food. Not that it is more impor-
tant, but it is often harder to obtain.
The best rest comes from sound sleep.
Of two men or women, otherwise
equal, the one who sleeps the best will
be the most moral, healthy and eff
cient. Sleep will do much to cure
irritability of temper, peevishness and
uneasiness. 1t will restore to vigor an
overworked brain. 1t will build up
and make strong weary body. It
will cure a headache. Indeed, we
might make long list of nervous and
other maladies that sleep will cure.
The cure of sleeplessness requires q
clean, good bed, sufficient exercise to
produce WEAKNESS, pleasant occupa-
ton; good air and not too warm q
room, a clear conscience, and avoid
ance of stimulants and narcotics.
For those who are-overworked, hag-
gard and nervous, who pass sleepless
nights, we commend the adoption of
such habits as shall secure sleep;
otherwise, life will be short, and what
there is of it sadly imperfect.

I was a very ticklish youngster, and
my comrades sometimes used that
weak ness for their own amusement.
One boy used to show me how little
effect tickling had upon him; but one
ing, I tickled him on the ribs, and he
almost went into convulsions. l
found that he was far more sensitive
than any boy in the company, and
he revealed his secret to me under con-
dition of my never telling any one
else. BY holding his breath he be-
came pachydermatous, and would let
anybody tickle him as much as they
pleased; but of course they always gave

The Krupp exhibit at the Worlds
Fair il said to be the most expensive
one in the Exposition. 1t is daily
visited by throngs of curious specta-
tors. The central attraction Is the
three enormous guns which occupy
and nearly fill up the building. At
the vestibule of the building and scat
tered about. in various places are can
non balls some of which are about two
feet and half long and nearly as large
as mans body. The only thing that
the writer could think Of as he looked
with dismay over this display of war
machines was "death and destruction"
And all this is part of the worlds

Here is a good story. A certain min
lister when preaching on cleanliness,
mentioned how he had seen a brass
monkey in his town set up in store
with a cigar in its mouth. The cigar
was lighted, and by machinery the
monkey cold draw the smoke from the
cigar and puff it out again. The
works stopped on one occasion, and
the monkey was taken apart to dis
cover the cause, when the works were
found to he clogged and in filthy con-
dition. The moral was drawn by the
preacher thus: "If tobacco smoke
will stop the works of brass monkey,
what will it do for you ?" Let our
weed-indulging people rise in answer.

A Yorkshire woman who had never
been on a railway decided the other
day to have jaunt in the afternoon
and get back before her husband and
family came home from work. So
after dinner she went to the station
and going up to the booking office
asked for a ticket to 60 and come
back. The booking clerk asked where
she wished to go to. The woman,
looking indignant, said: "What does

A Safeguard Against Breaking Down.

This Is q season Of the year when
many people "break down." as the
saying is. Feelings of irresistible Ian
guor overtake them. They are fever
ish and sleepy irritable, and finally
their strength gives way and they are
Frustrated with sickness.
One of the best safeguards against
this downward tendency is plenty of
sleep. And the sleep in order that it
may have its full effect as "tired ma
tnre's sweet restorer," should be taken
at seasonable hours. It is an old adage
that zone hours sleep before mid
night is worth two after it" y New
York Ledger.

in retirement, the query should not be,
What impressions am I making on
those around me for myself? but,
What am I leading them to think Of

molding our hearts with love. Have
we so yielded to His transforming pow
er as to impress others with q correct
idea of the blessedness of the religion
of Jesus?
