TRAVELLERS, TALES. THE MIRAGE.

The mirage can be seen nearly every

also to a limited extent in the plains of
Hungary and Southern France. Now and

OUR GIRLS.

Our girls do not realize how much the
happiness of home depends On them.
The mother has been called the better
half of her husband, and think our
girls can be called the better half of
their mamma in more senses than one.
Do not be too dependent upon your
mother for the direction of your ideas.
Study them out yourself. If you have
plenty of time on your hands, do not
look around, and wander from room to
room after mamma, but read awhile
to grandma, who is too dull-eyed to
read to herself. Anticipate mammals

UP to some of the requirements of home
every day. Come out Of yourself. and
try not only to be happy, but make
others so. There is something very
beautiful about the affection of brother
and sister You can be a co-worker
