him better than her parents do, and il

less and less reason to respect him. The

A Street Car Incident.

1t was i'll street car, and the usual
motley crowd gathered ON one of these
public conyeyances was at its best. The
front part of the car was filled with men
who were coming from work-clerks,
most of them, and all fairly dressed.
One laborer, with mud splashed overalls
and a tin bucket in his hand, was squeez-
ed between two portly passengers and
was the only one of his class in the car.
Near the door. sat nurse with a pink
bowin her white cap and her long white
apron showing her duties. The beauti.
fully clad child with her was restless,
after the manner of children, and insist
ed in dragging the length of her silk
coat up the car, looking into each face
as she passed with the keenly inquisitive
look even in well bred youngsters.
Smiles were directed at her from all the
men, but she passed them by and went
directly to the laborer, holding out her
little arms and isped, ''Tate me up.
The man hesitated, looking at the nurse,
and then as the little girl repeated her
command he sat down his bucket and
took her on his knee She staid with
him to the end of her journey, the nurse
not interfering, and the mans evident
delight was only surpassed by her pleas
ure at being with him. When the car
came to her street, the little one got
down and said: ''Doodby; I like you.
Come and see me some day" Then she
went out, and the man favored with her
attentions was observed to smile dream
lily all the rest of the way home.-Pitts-

WOman's Mission

Senator John w. Daniel paid a
beautiful tribute to woman-to the
mothers of the land-in his GRAFTON
Thursday, May 10th, at Fredericksburg
when the monument to Mary, George
Washington's mother, was unveiled.
Quoting the words of the first Presi
dent of the United States, 'all that |
am, owe to my mother" the orator
spoke these eloquent and true words;
which are worthy of reproduction all
over the country
This stor e represents two ideals
| womanly excellence and patriotic duty.
They are inseparable. Love for the
mother is the first as it is the most con
slant and sacred emotion of our being.
Affection spreads to the family, clan,
tribe. or people to which we belong
and then twines around inanimate oh
jects attracted to them by the magnet
| ism of association. 1t fastens TO birth
place, to living place. to home, to
| motherland. to fatherland, country.
This is the genesis and evolution OF
patriotism. But love of country Il
only a figure of speech. We cannot
love the insensate earth, which can
give back no responsive speech or
glance of sympathy. Love must go
from and to the living. Our country
men are our country. Home is the
pure, original fountain from which all
patriotism must flow, and the stream
can never rise above it's source. AS
| the woman is the man is. As the man
| and woman are, the home is, and as
| the home so the country. Show me
refined, enlightened, yirtuous. and in
| dustrious homes and | will show you a
good government and a great nation.
The nation is the aggregate, the homes
are the units; man is the builder, wo-
man is the inspiration. Discuss con-
| titutions, administrations and policies,
as we may, the outcome must depend
upon the subsoll they spring from.
| Make the home all right and the rest
will follow. This is woman's mission.
Our race, the youngest that has fran
ed language, nodded a constitution,
and made name has recognized that
mission and held it sacred. Other
races roam the earth for pelf and ad-
| venture and condescend to inferior
connections. Our race roams the earth
only to find the spot on which to build
it's homes Indeed, it never quits
home. 1t carries home with it. Wife
and child, the domestic animals and
plants, the household gods go where il
goes, over the stormy pillows, into the
wilderness, and even to the verge Of
battle 1t is beautiful legend of the
Rappahannock that when SpottswooG
and his companions came sailing hithel
the air was made vocal by the English
swallows that they brought with them
The stars might change, but they
would make the skies still resonant
!, with the songs of the olden homes"

Clean Streets.

We must have more of the sense of
beauty and aesthetic fitness entering into
our domestic, civic and national life
The present municipal officers of our
different American cities care but little
about it, The condition Of our Ameri-
can streets was the occasion of the most
caustic comment from foreigners during
the Worlds fair period. Between ele-
CANT blocks of buildings, on finely paved
streets, they saw oceans of mud, old,
discolored papers blowing about, piles
of garbage and store sweepings, and
crushed cats and other matter fostering
in the sun. How are we to get rid of
these things in our civic life? First, get
rid of them in your homes and school
rooms. Letters i'll the newspapers do not
prick the skin of the lazy, venal officials
whose duty it is to clean city, but
who are only mindful to bring out the
hoe brigade just before elections semi
annually. You must go deeper for re-
form in these things. You must train
a new generation. The boys and girls in
your schools will make up the new city
boards and mayor and street commits
sioners. You must train in them high
er sense Of home and municipal patriot
ism, based on stronger love of fitness,
order and beauty. This reform is COM
ing in home and school and city. I think
we shall see some of it in our day

The drummer for a Chicago house
handling New England trade, who had
not seen his good old mother for long
time, recently spent Sunday with her,
and when he started away she laid her
hand tenderly on his head.
"Goodby, my boy, F." she said. ''Put
your trust i'll Providence, and you will
come out all right.
"Pshaw, mamma" he replied; ''you

The Republican Senators are assum-
ing great responsibility in undertak-
ing to block action on the tariff bill. 1t
behooves the Democrats to show these
obstructionists in their true colors. To
accomplish this result redhot speeches
and denunciation are not needed. The
policy should be rather a steady and
strict effort to bring about vote or
each proposition. The country will
note the results and will hold the OBJ
structing party to a strict accountable
ty. Such acts of hinderance amount
now to criminal acts. The whole voice
of the country is now for settlement
and the greater the delay the more sure
ly will the vengeance of the masses o.
the voters be visited upon the obstruc
tionists. That responsibility now rests
upon the Republican members of the
Senate State.

She helps mother in looking after
the house, and carries many of the
domestic burdens on her strong shoul
ders.
She devotes a portion of her time
daily to the improvement of her mind
She is much too sensible to imagine
that if a man shows her any ordinary
amount of attention, he is SO smitten
with her charms that he is only wait
ing for suitable opportunity to throw
himself at her feet and propose MARI

She makes her own bed, keeps her
room in order, and is always ready to
lend hand in any household emer
gency.
She places implicit trust in her par
ents, and thinks mother" the dear
est woman in the world, and father
the best and most sensible man.
She does not waste her eyesight over
useless fancy work, but takes a priG e
in keeping the household linen and her
own clothes in good repair.
She is never unsympathetic with her
brothers in their love affairs, on which
a mans whole future life may depend.
She makes herself happy and content
ed at home. and is not perpetually
pining for pleasure and things beyond
her reach.
She refrains from talking overn real
or imaginary home troubles with her
intimate girl friends.
She is always neatly dressed, cheer

INSANITY Among Women.

The large increase in mental trouble
among women is directly traceable tc
a diseased state of their peculiar and
delicate organism. Much of this is
brought about by carelessness, late
hours, thin shoes, tight corsets, over
work, anxiety and sometimes by ex
cesses. When her delicate mechanism
is disabled or deranged nothing equals

Education, in its true sense, must
have two distinct aims-to inform and
develop the mind, and to inspire and
influence the heart. The success OF
each of these depends largely upon the
success of the other; and upon their
united and harmonious action will de-
pend the strength and excellence of the
character and the purity and value of
the life. All knowledge is like good
seed-it cannot be too highly priced OF
too widely disseminated; but to realize
it's possibilities it must be placed in
fruitful soil prepared to receive and to
vitalize it,

A beautiful person is the natural
form of a beautiful soul. The mind
builds its own house. The soul takes
precedence of the body, and shapes the
body to it's own likeness. A vacant
mind takes all the meaning out of the
fairest face. A sensual disposition de-
forms the handsomest features. A cold,
selfish heart shrivels and distorts the
best looks. A groveling spirit takes all
the dignity out of the figure and all the
character out of the countenance A
cherished hatred transforms the most
beautiful lineaments into an image of
ugliness.

preparation has for years past been
making a brilliant success as a remedy

Nature and Authors.


There is good material for an essay in
the analysis of the different manner in
which nature is approached by the au-
thors, and some chronological develop
ments would be apparent. The earlier
novelists, Mrs. Radcliffe and so on to
Walter Scott, created landscape as a
background for their people; there were
storms, sunsets, seas, caves, trees and
dark nights, but they fitted into the ex-
igencies of the plot. Never did the moon
shine upon murder, nor the storm beat
upon the happy lovers, when there could
be first choice of weather. With
Wordsworth there came another school,
and nature was awarded some rights of
her own, but it was Mary Milford who
first asked the reader himself to come out
among the roses or go driving along the
scented lanes. Everybody else had de-
scribed.
Of course everything had to be taken
rs it was, but she went abroad with US
IN her English weather as though she
bonnet cover in her pocket, and there
fore when the rain came it had no com.
FUNCTIONS and she no disquietude. In
these days we investigate nature. We
are not content to see d bird fly into the
bushes, but we must beat in after it, to
know what it is-whether it is at home
or merely passing through. The observ.
ers are looking for material and would
as soon go afeld without their hats as
without their notebooks. It is a great
gain for literature, but it throws re-
sponsibility upon the people who are
supposed to Bnow.-Peterson's Magazine
What Chinese Children Celebrate.
When do you suppose the Chinese
children fire off torpedoes, skyrockets
and powder crackers? If you do not
know, you could never guess in all the
world, so you may as well be told right
away. They fire them off ON New Years
dayl And when you are told why they
celebrate New Years day as if it were
Fourth of July, you will be still more
surprised.
You know the Chinese havea different
religion from ours, and because of that
they believe many things which we dc
not believe at all. New Years day the
frecrackers are set off to keep evil spirits
at distance. The night before the new
year there are special services to the
Chinese deity, and at bedtime pot of
rice is left upon the table, covered with
cypress leaves.
New Years day there are social visits,
dinners and family games. And all day
long the Chinese youngsters are expect
ed to keep up firing of fireworks of all
kinds to keep off evil spirits.
