awe are a busy, bustling, nervous,
unrestful people, said the American
who liked to hear himself talk.
when we have a thing to do we
push it through if we have to sit up
nights to finish it with speed"
Indeed" commented the Eng
lishman to whom the American was
talking.
"An idea suggests itself to us at
night conHnued the American.
Before daylight the next morning
ground is broken and by noon our
plans are well under way. Thus it
is that great cities spring up in a day
from the wilderness.
II see," languidly replied the
Englishman.
1--WE do not spend a week or a
month, like some people, doing sOme-
thing that can be pushed through in
a day. We push things, let me tell
YOU"
$50 have heard" reioined the
Englishman, just to be saying some
thing.
You talk as if you might doubt
it," said the American, rather testi-
ly. Still 1 hardly blame a man
who has never seen our country and
observed the way we do things"
"YOu wrong me- said the Eng
lishman; II have been in your cOun-
try, and while there l watched your
national senate for a week working
on a tariff bill.'-Chicago Record.

the South; then they turned about
and took them as property from the
South. If the whole rae could have
been sent to Africa, and then have
had good training by cOmpeter t
christian men aud women, just as
other foreign people have had
through missionaries, it would have
proved blessing to the whole race
and surely the South would have
been better off than it is to-day with
its burden of taxation, and it would
have no longer been the unsolved
problem as to what shall we do
with the negro" In ten years at
farthest it could have been accom-
plished, and they would to-day have
been free people in every sense of
the word Some one might say that
this would bankrupt the govern
ment! 1t would not have cost the
United States any more than it may
yet have to pay for turning loose a
people upon another people with
their wrongs still ranking in their
bosoms, and surely it would be an
inhuman act to cOnsign these poor
slaves to the wilds of Africa with
out teachers, for in less than two de-
cades, they would relapse into bar
barsm.
That is my opinion, sister, and as
women are getting their rights
these days, guess L can be allowed
to speak out in meetin."

s. Strain at a gnat and swallow "a
camel; chastise for minor offences
and laugh at vice.
These rules are not untrue. Many

stantial uniformity of results. If a
faithful observance of them does not
spoil your child, you will at least
have the comfortable reflection
that you have done what you could.

There is an ocean of difference be-
tween housekeeping and home
making. One is business, the 9th
er is an art. Many women make
great successes in the business who
fail absolutely in the art. Their
houses are perfectly kept. Every
department is run with care and eX-
actness. There is never IA failure to
meet demand, but it is not IL home.
A home exists for the comfort, hap
piness. and health of the family.
There is no department of house
keeping that is not made to yield to
the needs of any member. There is
never a crisis of temper if meal is
late or the convenience of Il mem
Der demands change in the hour.
A few minutes-yea, even Il num-
Der of minutes-speut in kindly con-
verse in the morning, the call of a
friend, or the sudden desire for an
hours outing, never seems to the
hOme-maker violation of the moral
code. Dust does not cause night
mare, nor disorder display which
love and charity agree to call nerv-
BUSINESS. Not things, but souls, are
the objects of the home-maker' S
care. She values peace more than
system, happiness more than regu-
larity. content more than work ac-
cOmplished. Yet, with it all, her
house, when she touches perfection,
is the essence of regularity, order,
and quiet. 1t is this that makes
home making an art. And she
alone is home-maker who has a
true sense Of proportion,-The Out
look.

This is a scheme for dress trunk
involving some time and ingenuity,
but little expense. Select strong
dry goods box of the low, broad
variety, as near the shape of the real
trunk as possible. Nail half IA dozen
cleats ON each side to hold the trays;
make them strong. Have fitted
frames made for the trays, and COW
er them with muslin or make the
bottoms of strips of strong laced
muslin. Line the ton with chintz
or tinted slesia. Tack leather
straps in position to hold parasols,
and pockets for stockings or shoes
can also be fastened in the top if de-
sired. Each dress can thus be laid
away in separate tray, secure from
crushing. 1t will make a con-
venient seat if cushioned and COW
cred with fancy cretonne.-EX-

"A splendid chance of studying their
characters. and if she is thoroughly
sympathetic, where can boy find a
better companion than his own moth
er? Boys grow away from one so much
faster than girls, and | want to have
my boys with me, and keep them,
too :"
Will few of our readers take a
hint from this wise woman's words?
Time passes quickly, and our lit
tie ones grow up, and often, alas.
grow away from US. We have them
now; they are ours for the present.
Let us be all we can to them while
we may, and enjoy their sweet COM
partnership, so that, come what may,
the days to come may be filled with
no regrets for lost opportunities
which can never be regained.-Eng-

Home Relations.
The relations between father and
mother will unconsciously raise or
lower the ideal married life upon
which young man or woman will
model their own. That daughters
may grow up into gracious, useful
wOm8nhOOd-that they may be
happy wives and make happy homes
more, much more is needed than
the most carefully inculated pre-
cepts. Parents must themselves be
what they would have their sons and
daugters become. That subtle some
thing that comes from character,
which we call unconscious influence,
is, after all, the silent power that is
working most etfectua(ly with or
against us in all our efforts for our
children's good.

Awakening Love and sympathy in Life
Let me give you a rule in life for
awakening your love and sympat by.
First put yourself in the other per-
sons place and then try to help him.
You are compelled to associate with
some persons-it may be in your
home, or at school, or in business
who always seem to do every little
thing in such way as to max e
themselves uncomfortable. To use a
homely expression, they always
rub you up the wrong way" Now
just imagine yourself in their place.
Make their sorrows your own, give
full credit to their virtues and then
try to help them. 1t may be that
they have some anguish of soul, or
r9me hidden disappointment, which,
did you but know it, would melt
your heart with pity for them. IT
their Surroundings We're yours it
may be that you, too, would be far
Jess endurable than you are.
Let us thank God that we do not
have to Judge, but that we may al
ways sympathize. You cannot SYM
pathize and work for person with
out beginning to love him. and we
cannot love a person for Christ's
sake but that He will give us a full
er realization of His love to us. And
thus as we show forth His love, we
acquire the stamp of His likeness {;
for "if we love one another, God
dwelleth in us, and His love is per-
fected in u.s."

Mothers and Sons.

do you like taffy?" we asked of a
woman the other day, when she had
just accepted with gratitude a repul-
sive looking lump of that dainty
from the hands of her small son.
"Well, she said, las Freddie is
out of hearing, may confess that
few doses of medicine could be more
distasteful to me than swallowing
this. But what l do like and en-
courage to the utmost of my power
is the spirit which prompts the boys
to share their pleasures with me.
They would as soon go without their
taffy as forget to bring me a piece,
and 1 even eat it when necessary,
rather than hurt their feelings. A
fewlyears ago used to think l was
to busy too play games with my boys.
But now | have found out that it
answers to let other things go by a
little, to take an interest in all my
boys pursuits, and to join in with
them whenever 1 can. 1t gives such

The woman who aspires to have
beautiful hair should learn how to
use a brush and comb. She should
brush her hair for five minutes at a
time twice a day, using long, even
strokes. At night she should part
her hair and let it hang in two loose
braids. Once day she should rub
her scalp with her fingers to stimu-
late the circulation. The brushing
is absolutely necessary, for the hair
attracts dust and dirt with fatal
facility, and this, combining with
the oil of the hair, makes it mala-
dorous and unpleasant in the eX-
treme. A monthly washing with
CASTLE soap and the daily brushing
will keep it clean and glossy. She
should know that a cheap brush and
comb belong in the same category
with cheap soap. They should new
er be used. Cheap combs do not
have smooth teeth, which make
their way INTERESTINGLY through the
hair, but are rough and tear, and
break long strands. A comb with
some of its teeth missing does etfec-
tive work in running the hair. 1t
can never be run through the hair
without breaking off some hairs and
dragging others out by the roOts.
Rubber or she'll is the proper ma
terial for a comb. The teeth should
not be to sharp or they will lacerate
the scalp. On the otter hand, they
must not be very blunt, or they will
not be effective in smoothing out
tangles. Brushes should be chosen
with equal care. They should not
have metal backs, no matter how
attractive silver may appear, for the
metal makes them too heavy. The
back should be Of light wood and
the bristles should be long and
thickly set. Moreover, they should
be bristles, and not weak limitations.

TUE BOYLESS TOWN

4 cross old woman of long ago
Declared that she hated noise;
"The town would be so pleasant, you
know,
If only there were no boys
She scolded and fretted about it till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead.
And then, Of a sudden, the town grew
still,
For all the boys had fled.
And all through the long and dusty
street
There wasn't boy in view;
The baseball lot, where they used to
meet,
Was sight to make one blue;
The grass was growing on every base,
And the paths that the runners made.
For there wasn't soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played.
The dogs were sleeping the Iivelong
day
Why should they bark OF leap?
There wasn't whistle or call to play,
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein;
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only dull refrain.
The cherries rottcd, and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees
And nobody had single taste,
Save only the birds and bees.
There wasn't messenger boy, not one,
TO speed as such messengers can;
If people wanted their errands done,
They sent for messenger man.
There was little, | wenn, of frolic and
noise;
There was less of cheer and mirth;
The sad old town, since it lacked its
boys,
Was the dreariest place on earth.
The poor old woman began to weep;
Then woke with n sudden scream;
"Dear mew she cried; 81 have been
asleep;
And O, what horrid dreamw

ings in front.
The woman who a5pires to be we'll
dressed should think out cOnclu-
siOns for herself. To be well dressed
does not mean buying and wearing
the finest things from the best stores,
but selecting such colors and styles
and materials as will set off ones
particular type to advantage.
Black velvet baby ribbon is elabo-
rately and effectively used this sea-
son. 1t is specially adapted to light
material, such as Organdie. and is
used on tlOunces or in straight fiat
rows.
Linen Bingham is a very desirable
fabric for gowns for morning wear
in the country. This material is al
so much used for shirt waists.
Fancy gilt, silver and jeweled hat
pins are still very much worn.

4 Millinery Box.

When hat or bonnet is out of
style, remove all the ribbon, silk,
velvet or lace from it, and put them
in Il box kept for that purpose.
Then when you want new hat to
match a costume, decide what style
will suit you best, buy frame from
the millinery store, get out your box
of trimmings, and if you have a lit
tie taste and ingenuity, you can
soon have new hat at small ex-
pense. Materials for new collars,
cOllarettes and adjustable yokes
may be obtained from the same
source, in fact one who has never
tried the plan of saving such things,
cannot realize how convenient it is,
nor how many dimes can be saved
in this way during the year. OF
course they must be renovated and
freshened before using, and it will
be in order to tell of few methods
that have been tried repeatedly, and
have always proven Successful.
Cotton lace or a good quality Of
silk lace can be washed in warm
soapy water, and rinsed in clear
water. Dissolve little gum Arabic
and add it to the last rinsing water
to give it the necessary stiffness.
Squeeze the lace as dry as possible,
and press smoothly on perfectly
clean surface. The marble top of a
table, or a window pane will answer
the purpose nicely.
Silk and satin will retain their
color if washed in gasoline. When
perfectly clean, hang the goods on
the line until dry, then cover with
damp cloth and iron. If the gaso-
line is set aside in covered vessel
few hours, all the dirt will settle
to the bottom, leaving it clear and
ready for use again.
Velvet should be brushed to re-
move the dust, then held over the
steam of boiling water with the
wrong side down. After the pile is
raised, pass the back OF the velvet
over a hot iron turned with the face
uppermost, until it is dry.-Elsie
Gray in The Home.
