the Atlantic Ocean. l had met on deck
some young fellows that had been tramp
ing through Switzerland, and learned
they were from some theological semi
nary
One morning | was startled at learning
of the death of one of these young men.
He had been i'll only a few days, and |
learned that through his sickness, while
delirious, he had constantly called for his
mother. As paced the deck in the days
that followed and looked up al the boat
that swung day after day with his body
in it; if had only been in Sisterhood
wearing badge that would have denoted
service to humanity, they might have
asked me if | would not like to see the
young man who called for his mother, for
! learned that no woman had seen the
youth during his illness, and ! pictured
to myself how glad the mother would
have been if | could have written to her
and told her had seen her boy
At that hour ! wished for Sisterhood

Everett Hale called to see me on business.
As he was passing out he said" Mrs
Bottome, | wonder you do not found a
Sisterhood.o And the word Sisterhood
took my thoughts back to the steamer.
Not many days after invited four friends
of mine who had been associated with
me, and they came to my home and we
decided each to invite some friend, a con-
secrated woman, and to meet the week
following and there would then be ten of
us, and | felt sure DR.. Hale would lend us
his idea of "ten times one is ten When
later l wrote to him bout it he answered.

Go Back to the Land.

The man who holds the safest place in
these days of business depression and
industrial disturbances, is the man who
owns and manages farm. He is sure OF
OF employment, la glorious and ill-pad
though it may be in many cases. His
capital is comparatively secure from
spoiliation or depreciation. No boycott
can long exclude his products from their
market, and the air and sunshine that are
working for him will not strike.
How to make farming profitable is
largely a question of locality. Some
where, and under some circumstances,
there must always be profit in the pro-
duction of each OF the necessities of life
For every piece of land that lies in the
economic limits of cultivation, idera-
ton of soil and climate and of the nearest
available market will determine he most
available crop.
II farmers gave to this matter half the
care and anxiety that are bestowed upon
the questions of stocks and markets and
popular demands by those who flock to
the cities and try to live by their wits,
there would be fewer abandoned farms
and fewer waste lands all about us wait
ing for the era of more careful cultivat ion
That better times are coming for the
farmer is certain; but it is equally certain
that there Will be, year by year, a more
marked difference between the successful
and the unsuccessful farmer, and that
the successful man will be the man who
gives most attention to learning his bust
ness as something more han a handicraft,
and recognizes the fact that machinery
and facilities for transportation have
made revolution in the world of agri-
culture as we'll as in other walks of life.
There are many such men in the towns
of the neighboring republic to-day
trembling between success and failure in
some uncertain trading or manufacturing
enterprise, who know the practical part
Of farmers life from the experience OF
early years. If the present crisis throws
them back to the cultivation of the soil,
it will be distinct gain to the country.

Girls rs HelnS to Men.

Almost every man has his private &C
counts, which require constant recording
and which in many cases are transferred
to clerk in his office to attend to, writes
Edward W. Box in an article showing
Glow Girl May Help Her Father
Financially" in the September Ladies'
Home Journal. Here a daughter could be
of invaluable assistance.
A mans household bills are often to
him matter of annoyance in their nee
essary auditing, and it would be a relief
to the mother, as well as to the father,
to know that the accounting was in the
hands of daughter who would bring a
personal interest to the work. The
lawyer, also, has at times certain briefs
and affidayits which cannot always be
written at the office, and he, too, would
be glad to have his daughters assistance.
In fact, every man has certain things in
his life which he would gladly turn into
the hands of a daughter if he felt that it
would please her to be able to relieve him
Few daughters either realize this or even
imagine it.
| have often felt that if girls could
enter more into the lives of their fathers
and take from them some of the little
burdens, they would be the better for it.
Not only would such help be a relief to
the father, but it would be an educative
training for the girl, which would stand
her in good stead in her later years. Help
ing her father to remember his daily en-
gagements, seeing that his accounts are
properly balanced, following his personal
matters-al these things enter into the
life of a girl when she becomes wife
And if she begins with her fathers in
terests she Will have better idea of the
things which constitute mans life when
she becomes wife. Daughters should
come much closer to their fathers than
they do And it must be remembered
that they are not aloof because of any I'M
Willingness on the part of the father.

Till race of children is rightly born;

When the naked are clothed and the hungry are

When the proud Aguostic gets down from the

But it never will come till Mrs. Grundy Is dead.
While the nations are governed by bayonet and

And settle their quarrei+ 10y powder and ball,
The mllcnuial day Will never come,
1t will not come soon If it comes at all.
While the cold hearted mi-er lives only Tor self,
And poverty pinehc- in alley and Sum,
While congrc- smen wranglc for doodle and pclf,
The milcnnial day is not likely to come.
