that reception were made out" All right
with God. you are all right with every
thing.
Martin Luther, writing q letter Of con-
dolence to ono of his friends who had lost |
his daughter, began by saying, "This Is o
hard world for girls" 1t is for those who |
are dependent upon their own wits and the |
whims of the world and the preferences OF
human favor, but those who take the Eter-
nal God for their portion not'later than is
years of age, and that is ten years later
than it ought to be, will find that while
Martin Luther's letter Of coincidence was
true in regard TO many, II not most, with
respect to those who have the wisdom and
promptitude and the earnestness to get
right with God, declare that this is a good
world for girls.
Importance OF Physical Health.
Advice the second: Make it q matter
of religion to take care Of your physical
health do not wonder that the Greeks
deifled health and hailed Hygeia as a god
dess. I rejoice that there have been so
many modes of maintaining and restoring
young womanly health invented in our
time. They may have been known a long
time back, but they have been popularized
in our day-lawn tennis, croquet and golf
and the bicycle. 1t always seemed strange
and inscrutable that our human race
should be so slow Of locomotion, when
reatures of less importance have powers
of velocity, wing of bird or foot of ante
lope, leaving us far behind, and while 1t
seems so important that we be in many
places in short while we were weighed
down with incapacities, and most men, II
they run q mile, are exhausted or dead
from the exhaustion. 1t was left until
the last decade Of the nineteenth century
to give the speed which we see whirling
through all our cities, and along the coun-
try roads, and with that speed comes
health The women of the next decade
| will be healthier than at any time since
the world was created, while the invalid
ism which has so often characterized wom
anhood will pass over to manhood, which,
| by its posture on the wheel, is coming to
curved spine and cramped chest and de-
formity for which another so years will
not have power to make rescue. Young
man, sit up straight when you ride. Dar-
win says the human race Is descended
from the monkey, but the bicycle will turn
q hundred thousand men of the present
generation in physical condition from
man to monkey. For good womanhood,
thank God that this mode of recreation
has been invented. Use 1t wisely, modest
ly christianity. No good woman needs
to be told what attire is proper and what
behavior is right If anything be doubt
full, rojeot it. A hoydenish, boisterous,
masculine woman Is the detestation of all,
and every revolution of the wheel she rides
is toward depreciation and downfall.
Take care of your health, woman; OF
your nerves in not reading the trash which
makes up 90 out Of 100 novels, or by eat
ing too many cornucopias of confection-
cry. Take care of your eyes by not read
ing at hours when you ought to be sleep
ing. Take care Of your ears by stopping
them against the tides of gossip that surge
through every neighborhood.
Healthl Only those know its value who
have lost it. Tho earth is girdled with
pain, and vast proportion of it is the
price paid for carly reoklessness. clost
this, though, with the salutation in Mac

Now good digestion wait on appetite
And health on both
A Word For Mothers.
Advice the third: Appreciate your moth
er while you have her. 1t is the almos
, universal testimony Of young women whit
/ have lost mother that they did not realiz'
what she was to them until after her exi
, from this life. Indeed mother Is in tn
appreciation of many young lady hin
drance. The maternal inspection is oftel
, considered On obstacle. Mother has S
: many notions about that which is prope
? and that which is improper. 1t is astound
: ing how much more many girls know
Q | IS than their mothers at As. With wha
! an elaborate argument, perhaps spice
Q with some temper, the youngling tries t
Q reverse the opinion of the oldling. Th
sprinkle of gray on the maternal forehea
: is rather an indication to the recent grad
@ uate of the female seminary that the Gil
: cumstances of today or tonight are not fu
: ly appreciated. What wise boardin
v school that would be if the mothers we1
O the pupils and the daughters the teachers
o How we'll the teens could chaperon tn

s much anyhow. They are in the way an
It are always asking questions about postae
@ marks of letters and asking, "Who is tha

acquaintance, Flora?" and Where did yo

such unprecedented means of knowing q
erything. Thoy say sit was bird in IL
