A Daughters Part in the Home.

All mothers are DESTROYS that their daugh-
tiers receive liberal education but we would
warn them not to be eglectful of the home
education, in the pursuit of the mental
training. Do we not agree that one of the
sweetest things girl can do is to be kind,
gentle and thoughtful to all her loved ones
and to receive friends graceously In the
home? An exchange warns our girls not to
stand off in the middle of the room and
has called. Walk over to meet her, give
her your hand. and say pleasantly that you
are very glad to see her again. Stiff, cold
and formal ways of greeting acquaintance
are not proper in girl welcoming guests to
her fathers house. A daughters part is to
assist her mother on every social occasion.
The girl pours the tea in her mothers draw
ing-room when friends drop in at five
O'Clock. Quite often, when no maid is pre-
sent. she helps the guests to the sandwiches
and the cakes which are served five O'Clock
tea, and herself hands the cups and takes
them from the guest who would like to be
relieved. Apart from, and more important
even than her manner to guest who hap
pens in for an hour or day, is the manner
of daughter to her father and mother.
The father returns to his home after a
wearying day of business. He is tired in
body and mind. Coming back, as his latch
key turns in the home door, he throws IF
care; he is joyous at the thought of the dear
ones he will meet after hours of absence.
His young daughter, in pretty gown, with
the bloom and freshness only girlhood wears
should be ready to give him the attentions
he loves-the Kiss, the CHEEKY word-to help
her mother and the rest in letting the father
see how much he is loved at home. Men
give up great deal for their families-their
time, strength, the knowledge they have
gained in life's experiences--they spend
everything freely for homes sake, and the
home should pay its debtin much outspoken
love.

LET those of our Toys and girls who con-
template entering the business world as
part of it, paste the following in their note
books and live up to it:
"When you contract your services sgainst
any given amount of cash for services to be
rendered, remember that 1t is not the fellow
who does what he considers sufi Glen labor
for value received that gets ahead, but one
who does all that he is capable of accom-

rather than stand around either to be told

doing it that gets ahead; and it is very
rare instance where true merit is not appre-

Little Girls Aprons,

For the real little girl who loves to play in
the sand and dabbIe in the water, aprons
are almost a necessity.
A very pretty apron of pink and white
bingham has a low square neck and no
sleeves. The waist is in Gretchen shape
(plain) and the skirt is slightly full.
A feather stitching of Barbour's rope linen
floss finishes the neck and arm holes. A
blue and white apron would be equally
pretty.
Another apron is made of white barred
muslin and has the neck and arm holes
trimmed with narrow lace edge. The

timent appeared to be against all

BILE to reporting tho bill as it came
from the House. Several Senators ex-
pressed doubts as TO the wisdom OF the

Csimats, GAyabal, Hoyo and Punta
Brsvael, showing taet he followed
pretty closely the line between the
provinces of Pinar del Rio and Havana
up 60 the extreme northeastern portion
OF Pinar del Rio. The influx OF refu-
gees from the whole of she territory
surrounding Havana continues, and sp-
parently the country seems entirely
abandoned to the insurgent army with
no movements evsilsble to check them.
A report from Santa Clara says that
the troops encountered the insurgent
band led by Pancho GARLIC aud In the
baltic which ensued sustained loss of
fifty.
Word has just been received that the
sounds OF cannon and musketry have
been heard in the neighborno God OF Guam

wants in Piner del Rio, forty Ave miles
southwark of Havana. 1t is supposed
that au engagements is taking place
