I hold him great who, for loye's sake
Can give, with generous, earnest will
Yet he who takes for loves sweet sake
/ think hold more generous still.
I bow before the noble mind
That freely some great wrong forgives
Yet nobler is the one forgiven
Who bears that burden we'll and lives
It may be hard to gain and still
To keep lowly, steadfast heart,
Yet he who loses has to fill
A harder and truer part
Glorious it is to wear the crown
OF deserved and pure success.
He who knows how to fail has won
A crown whose lustre is not less.
Great may he be who can command
And rule with just and tender sway,
Yet is divlner wisdom taught
Better by him who can obey.
Blessed are they who die for God
And earn the martyrs crown of light,
Yet he who lives for God may be
A greater conqueror in his sight.

Pleasing Mother.

Religious Telescope.
Mothers are usually r'eased with the
successes Of their chill Zen. This is
especially true in their llf after leaving
home. A mother watches the success
sive steps and efforts OF her children as
only mother can. If they succeed
In their callings, she rejoices as no one
else can. If children appreciate the
concern that is felt for them, and the
earnest desire for their success that fol-
lows them everywhere by their mothers,
they would care vastly more about
pleasing them than is often the case.
Pleasing mother should be a habit
with children. Early in life they
should begin the cultivation of thought
and effort with reference to the gratifi-
cation of her wishes and of making her
happy. If they would do this they
would find daily opportunities for
speaking kind words and rendering
such helpful services and showing such
noble traits of character in dealings
with others, as would gladden. the
heart and tighten the cares OF mother
in a way too often little thought Of
If boys, if girls, could realize their
Indebtedness to their mothers they
certainly would generally be very much
more anxious of pleasing them.
The great men OF the world, Ike
John Quincy Adams, James A. Gar
field, and others, who have acknowl-
edged their great Indebtedness to their
noble lives, their courage in doing
right, and their honorable achieve
ments in public life were especially
pleasing to their noble mothers. Hard
lv a higher tribute can be paid to any
young mans success in life than that
"it pleased his mother"

manifest by the well-meaat action oi
her teacher, and the facts are these
Just before the close OF the last ses

an incident took place which, as an
illustration, is moro than touching
At one OF the schools, numbers OF pupil,
were in the habit OF bringing 4 luD

not 60 home to dinner, the teacher in
a particular room noticed a little CIR
who always sat looking wistfully at hel
playmates when they went out with
their luncheon, but who never brought
any herself.
The child was always neatly but very
poorly clad, and one of the closest stu
dents in school hours This odd action
of the child's lasted for some time
when one day the teacher noticed that
the little thing had apparently brough,
her dinner with her. The noon hour
came, and the children took their lunch
as usual and went out to eat it, the little
girl referred to alone remaining III the
room. with her dinner wrapped up in
a paper on her desk before her The
teacher advanced to the child and asked
her why she didn't go out with the
rest, at the same time putting out her
hand toward the package on the desk.
Quick as thought the little girl clasped
her hands over it and exclaimed, sob
bing "Don't touch 1t, teacher, and
don't tell. please It's only blocks
And that was the fact. Having no
dinner to bring, and too proud to reveal
the poverty Of her family the child had
carefully wrapped up number OF small
blocks in paper and b. ought the pack

sufficient to make wiser and older hearts

with yellow enamel paint, ornamented
with extensive brass hinges, handles
and key hole. A fiat hair cushion,

its top. 1t moved easily upon rollers
and opened readily to the insertion OF

session. A wooden tray, five inches
deep, greeted the eye inside. This
held napkins, doylies, carving cloths
and center pieces. Beneath was ample
space for good assortment of table
linen used in the home. The bottom
of the tray and that of the chest was
nicely padded with sachet bag made
of yellow cheese cloth, perfumed with

A Multitude of Eeps.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson of Boston
says in the Country Gentleman:
wonder how many of your readers
comprehend the national Importance
OF the industry of the domestic hen.
In Ohio the assessors make census of
hens eggs, and from that one can
easily compute the value, which is
greater by far than the value of the
wool grown in that wool-growinp
state. | have analysed the food sup.
ply OF the factory boarding houses of
Lowell and Lawrence, where the aver.
age consumption of eggs is one every
other day to each person. The price
OF meals ranges from Sl75 to s2.25 a
week. If that is fair standard, the
consumption of eggs is about fifteen
dozen per adult in this country every
year. Our present population is about
equal to sixty million adults, calling
two children of ten or under, one
adult. If we compute the average
value of eggs at Is cents a dozen.
1t comes to about one hundred and
thirty-ive million dollars wear.

The Leghorn family embraces many
varieties-the white, the brown, the
Dominique, the buff, the black and the
rose-combed white, says an exchange
They originated in Leghorn, Italy
hence their name-but were brought
70 this country by way of England.
They have become completely accli-
mated, and are quite hardy. The Leg
horns are the most popular breeds for
eggs. They are nonsitters, and, if KEEP,
under favorable conditions, will lay
plenty Of eggs during the winter. It
is essential, however, that their quar-
tiers be kept warm, or the combs are
liable to freeze. Being of small size,
they require less food than some of the
larger varieties of fowls, and also
mature earlier. They are restless and
nerVous,and excellent foragers. They
do not stand confinement well. Tie
most esteemed varieties of this family
are the white and the brown, Both
are equally hardy and good layers, but
the white has the advantage of produc.
ing much larger eggs than the brown.
In this respect the white compares
most favorably with the Minorcas
while the flavor of it's eggs is admitted
TO be superior. As market poultry
their small size is against them-the
male seldom exceeding seven pounds
in weight when fully matured and the
female rarely reaching five pounds.
