They trip and they skip and they hop,

They come to an obstinate stop.

Right or Wrong Marriages.

Unconsciously, then, parents, are in
tiuencing their children toward a right
or wrong marriage, writes Mrs. Lyman
Abbott in thoughtful paper in the
series ''Before He is Twenty,' in which
she discusses the 'Looking Toward a
Wife, in the November Ladies' Home
Journal Not for an instant must it be
felt by them that "children are a neces-
sary evil" that household cares are only
burden, that life would have been bet
ter ana happier for them if they had
never married.
This root of selishness will send its
poison not only through the homes of
to-day, but into the homes of the next
generations. Too often the vow taken
to cleave to one another "for better or
for worse" is forgotten as the months
and years develop faults which did not
appear in the days of courtship, and NOR
bid criticism and unwillingness to recog
nize self-falures breed ill-temper which
turns love into hate.
1t is probable that in the majority of
households one may be sure that for every
fault discovered or imagined in another,
there is one to mate it in the self-setisfied
critic. An early recognition of this
truth, and consequent humility and
forbearance, would preserve happiness
and give abundant harvest of blessing.
Bat leaving general and unconscious in
fluences, there are direct and definite
quest ions which occur to wise, earnest
and devoted parents in respect to the mar
riage of their children. Perhaps the
daughter seems more easily guided, and
the duties of a parent toward son more
difficult to understand and to perform,
but the obligation to faithful care is as
ineXora Bile in dealing with one child as
with another; and why should it not be

Wise Words for Farmers Wives.

clever physician once prescribed a
new and becoming dress as the best
remedy he knew Of for nervous, care
worn woman, writes Helen Jay in an ar
ticle devoted entirely to "The Work of a
Farmers Wife" in the November Ladies
Home Journal. History says that a cure
was effected. At any rate, we know that
there is much truth in the saying of the
French, "a woman is just as old as she
appears to be-" and the woman who
would keep young and strong must look
young and strong.
There is another way in which the
farmers wife Injuries herself physically,
and that is by drinking so much cold
water when doing her work. She be-
comes overheated in the hot kitchen,
baking, ironing or washing, and goes
from that warm room into her cold de Try,
where the temperature is several degrees
lower to cool off for few minutes, as
she says. While resting there she drinks
q glass OF cold water and then goes back
again to her work. She goes from the
stove to the cellar without thought of
the risk she is running.
This criminal careiessness on her part
causes many of the rheumatic fevers so
prevalent upon our farms, and if it does
nothing else it ruins he finest skin. No
surface can be exposed to such extremes
without injury, and face that is first al
most blistered with heat and then chilled
with q current of cold air is apt to grow
wrinked and coarse, if it is not disfig
ured by eruptions. Instead of doing 50
much work i'll the hot kitchen. he wide,
cool piazzas, which rs general thing,
run around one side OF he farm house,
should be utilized for domestic purposes
The ironing and part of the baking can
be done here very easily by using small
oil stove; and the vegetables viii! be quite
as thoroughly prepared for cooking if the
housewife sits comfortable i'll the coolest
corner, nstead of YEARLY bending over a
table in close room, made almost unen-
durable by the heat from large stove.
