CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 21.-The Rev. c. o.
Brown, formerly of Sar Francisco, and
whose troubles are familiar to all news
paper readers, has made statement IN
reply to the late confession of Miss Over
man in which she says that the charges
which she originally made against DIR.
Brown, and which she subsequently said
we're false, are in reality founded on facts.
DR.. Brown denounces the entire story as
one of blackmail, and says that the .act
that Miss Overman now admits that she
testified falsely should prove her un-
worthy OF the slightest credence.

THE GROWING CHILD.

A mother is too apt to take for grant
ed the confidence of her growing son
and daughter. She has led them
through childhood into young manhood
and womanhood. She unravelled all
their little perplexities, and has been
the recipient of all their childish joys
and sorrows. AS children they con-
cealed nothing. She assumes. without
thinking, that this state of affairs con
tinues into their adult life. She is
sure she knows all about her children"
whereas the fact may be that she knows
nothing at all. They outgrew her long
ago.
When this difference began the young
boy or girl could scarcely say. Some
times it is sudden, sometimes gradual.
1t is certain that with adolescence a
new life comes to each individual, and
that the mother who would retain the
trust and aid in forming the character
of the budding man or woman must
make special effort to do 30.
1t is here that mothers often make
grave mistakes, and never regain the
forfeited friendship of their sons and
daughters. Some women persist in
treating their children as children long
after they are grown men and women,
and require the implicit obedience and
blind belief of child from an adult of
reason and experience. Other women
make an equally unfortunate error in,
metaphorically, washing their hands
of the child they have reared 30 soon as
it tries to act upon its own judgment
II have nothing more to do with your
actions. Now do as you please" That
is their position.
One attitude represses confidence; the
other rejects it. Both are antagonistic
to natural law. Children must become
men and women, and we have no right
to be angry at or to repel the idea it is
30. But surely we may value the friend
ship and trust and love of these men and
women as highly as we valued the child's
faith and loving reliance. That parent
is wise who perceives in time the change
and who studies the needs of this for
native period. who adapts herself to the
new phase, and who begins by new
methods to retain the child's trust, while
gaining the mans confidence.-Harper's

HOW TO MAKE A ROOM INVIT
ING.

have seen very ugly rooms on which
people had spent heaps of money, says
writer in Harper's Round Table, and
there are lovely ones which have cost
their owners very little beyond good
taste and the exercise of common sense
and care. In the first place. cleanliness
in a room is in itself a great beauty.
Make war on every bit Of dust, every
cobweb, every speck and stain. A per-
fectly clean room, although quite bare
of ornament, is inviting, and when its
owner puts in her little individual
touches, her books, on a hanging shelf,
which her brother can make for her, or
which she can buy for forty or fifty
cents, her favorite engravings, cut from
illustrated papers if she chooses and
simply tackled on the wall. her pot of
primroses on the window sill. her toilet
table draped with white net over pink
silesia her plain scrim curtains at the
window tied back with bits of ribbon,
the room will be dainty and pretty
enough to please the most fastidious. If
you have not much to do with, manage
with what you have, is a good rule for
girls to follow.
A carpet is by no means necessity in
any sleeping room. In fact, many people
prefer stained or painted floor, with
rug which may be easily lifted and
and shaken. A small wooden rocking
chair, table or stand for rocking chair,
a table or stand for candlestick, two
leaved screen. which you can make
yourself, and little rack over your
washstand for your towels. and then
with nicely made bed, the room will
be complete.
Ones own room is 80 dear to every
girl that I do not wonder she prizes it.
One must have hours when it is a
pleasure to be alone. One likes to be by
herself at times. to think and read and
plan. After little space of solitude we
go back to others rested and cheered.
Where sisters share the same apartment.
each should have her corner, divided
from the other part of the room either
by curtains or by screens, 30 that when
they prefer to be alone they may be 30.
In some schools which l have known
there are twenty minutes or half-hour
intervals during the day. when every
pupil is required to be by herself, and in
home life girls who can should try to
adopt similar rule.

DAIRY.

Successful management of the calf

one reason why so much Of the winter

some loose earth or coal ashes be thrown
over the freshly voided solid or liquid
excrement, there would be less of what
is called animal odor in the butter.

tax upon their systems. and many break

The Oldest Family in the w

The question as to which is the oldest
family in the world seems to be settled
in favor of that of the mikado Of Japan.
About a dozen of the four hundred
barons in the British House of Lords
date back to 1400. the earliest being
1864. The oldest family in the British
Isles is the Mar family of Scotland, 1893.
The Campbells of Argyle, began in 1190.
Talleyrand dates from 1899, Bismarck
from 1910, the Grosvenor family, the
Dukes of Westminster, 1906; the Aus
trian house of Hapsburg goes back to
952, and the house of Bourbon to 1874.
The descendants of Mohammed, born
$40, are all registered carefully and au-
thoritatively in book kept in Mecca by
the chief of the family. Little or no
doubt exists of the absolute authenticity
of the long line of Mohammed's descen-
dants. In China there are many old
families, also among the Jews, "but,"
says a recent writer, when it comes to
pedigrees, there is one gentleman to
whom the world must take off its hat,
not as facile princeps or primus inter
pares, but as great and only nonesuch.
This is the mikado of Japan" His place
has been filed by members of his family
for more than twenty-five hundred
years. The present miksdo is the 122d
of the line. The first one was contem-
porary with Nebuchadnezzar, geo before
Christ.

READING ALOUD.

II you ask eight people out of ten now.
they will tell you that they hate being
read to. And why? Because from their
childhood they have been unused to it,
or used only to such a monotonous
drone as robbed even the Arabian
Nights" of half their charm. The hus-
band, at the end of hard days work,
returns home to pass the evening, alb
sorbed in his book, or doing over the
fire, while the wife takes up her novel,
or knits in silence. II he read to her,
or if he could tolerate her reading to
him. there would be community Of
thought, interchange of ideas, and such
discussion as the fusion Of two minds
into any common chanel cannot fail to
produce. And it is often the same when
the circle is wider. l have known a
large family to pass the hours between
dinner and bedtime, each one with his
book or work, afraid to speak above his
breath because sit would disturb papa"
Is this cheerful or wise, or conducive to
that close union in household which is
bond of strength through life, which
the world can neither give nor take
awayP 1 cannot blame them, for they
all read abominably; and it is enough to
have endured the infliction of family
prayers, gasped and mumbled by the
head Of the family, to feel that listening
to such delivery for any length of time
would exasperate one beyond endur-
ance.
But 1t was not always SO. In the last
century-even as late as fifty years ago
reading aloud was regarded as an &C.
complishment worth the cultivation OF
those Especially those who lived in the
country with pretensions to taste; and
it was, consequently, far more frequent
ly found enlivening the domestic circle.
There were fewer books, fewer means Of
locomotion, fewer pleasures Of winter
nights, outside the four walls of the
country parlor. The game of cribbage,
or the sonata on the spinet, did not oc-
cupy the entire evening after six o'clock
dinner; and Shakespeare and Milton
were more familiar to the young gene
ration of those days than they are now
mainly, feel persuaded, because they
were accustomed to hear them read
aloud. The ear, habituated to listen, is
often more safe conduit to the memo
ry in youth than the inattentive eye
which rapidly skins page, and the
words that are read aloud will remain
fixed in the mind in many cases where
the mere reading of them in silence
would leave but an ephemeral impress

PENSIONING TEACHERS.

F. w. Atkinson says in the Atlantic
for April
If one remains in school work, one is
obliged to save for old age. Germany
regards her teachers as defenders of the
public safety" and pensions them. The
hindrance to the granting of pensions in
the United States is the incomplete or
ganization of our school system, to-
gether with the general lack of the per-
manency Of the teaching force. There
is not sufficient stability to give an i'm
petus to the establishment of anything
like general cooperative pension bu-
reau. No one who is temporily in the
profession wishes to contribute to gen.
eral fund for this purpose. No one who
is competent desires to pay part of his
earnings into retirement fund, which,
as one teacher puts it, means that "the
competents support the incompetents. Z"
Brooklyn proposes to have retirement
fund. Deductions are to be made from
the salaries of the regular teaching
corps, and applied for the support of
those who retire or are discharged. If l
am not mistaken, the initiative in this
was taken by the city authorities, and
the scheme is regarded with disfavor by
the majority of the teachers. In Chi
cago. "it is proposed to honor teachers
by giving them pensions. One teacher
writes: From the nature Of the work
teaching compels man to retire early"
II this is true. it is a fact not to be OBJ

almost invariably leads on to high and
useful career. Too many boys and
young men look out into life with no
aim or with low and unworthy aim.
1t is said that Saint Simon, the great
social reformer, who did 80 much for the
laboring classes in France. gave his valet
orders to awake him every morning with
the words, Remember, monsieur lie
comte, that you have great things to
do"
Remember, my young friend, that you
have great things to do. Great things
will certainly be done in the next fifty
years; why should you not have the
honor of doing some of them? To be
great and do great things will require,
first, high aim, and then diligence,
earnestness. hard work, definite and un-
RENTING toll; but you can do what
others have done and are doing. and win
the prize which is waiting for some one
to come and take it.
1t is said that Cicero's life maxim was,
Strive always to excel; be ever fore
most in the race" What a splendid
motto for everybody is this saying of the
famous philosopher! Not that we should
seek in selfish way to outstrip others,
but that we should never be satisfied to
put into that which we do anything but
the very best effort of which we are ca
pable.
Do not ask, How can make my life
good? but How can / make it best? Do
not ask, Will this profession or work
make me useful to my fellow men? but
Will this course make me most useful to
my fellow men? Do not ask, Is this a
high aim? Is this great thing to do? but
Is this the highest aim? Is this the best,
the very best thing on earth that it is
possible for me to do?
No course in life will ever prove salts
factory either to ourselves or to God
save that only which follows the loftiest
ideals. and which induces us to throw
into the attainment of those ideals our
whole selves, the very best and truest
powers of our whole being. Anything
short of this will end only in the more or
less complete failure which waits al
ways upon half -heartedness.-C Christian
