New York Tribune: The Curfew law,
recently enacted in many Western
towns, is rot solving the problem,
What shall we do with our boys:" es-
pecially between o o'clock p. m. and
bedtime. A young woman, who evil
IDENTIFY speaks from the bitterness of
personal experience, says that the
Curfew law merely calls the small boy
off the street to poster his sister, when
she is trying to entertain company"
The lurking fear that the terrible
small 10y" is somewhere about is GER
tainly calculated to cast a damper on
the courtship of the sister and her best
young man. Looking under the sofa
is not a guarantee that his terrible
chuckle will not be heard in the midst
of the most interesting and idyllic
scene. for he is possessed of "a merry
devil of ill-timed merriment," and his
ingenuity is more than human. The
Entertainment of company" under
such conditions is impossible. Then
there Is public side TO the question.

The celebrated celestial Ii Hung
Chang has written a letter to a young
girl in Brooklyn, in which he says: 'Tf
your parents are living hope you are
dutiful. Here in China children are
carefully taught to love and cherish
their parents. / think we are more par
ticular about that in China than West
ern people are, and it has helped much
to make China the oldest of nations"
One precept of the decalogue is as en-
phatic upon the duty of the children to
their parents as is any precept of Con-
fucius or any Chinese practice. But in
the Western world the law given to
Moses enjOining the honoring of father
and mother, though coupled with the
injunction that this duty be shown that
ones days may be long In the land
is not reverently followed, particu-
larly in the peart republic of North
America. The Jewish peoples are a
creditable exception to a rule of filial
impiety, not one of neglect Of parents,
not one of failure to support them in
their declining years, but failure in the
honoring of parents which is enjOined
by the commandments of God and is
followed by profound reverence and
humility by the peoples of the Orient,
whom we are pleased to call barbara
ans. Our pearl and universal Yankee
nation, whose inhabitants are much
given to elbOwing of their seniors out
of the way and to fiippant disregard
in the young generation of the garnered
wisdom of the elder, would do we'll to
take a lesson in filial conduct and in
divine doctrine from the Semitic and
the Mongol.

VARIETY i'm Pasture.

In seeding land to grass it would be
much better If greater variety Of plants
were grown. Some kinds succeed bet
ter than others under special condi-
tions of soil, so that the greater variety
sown, the better the land is likely to be
covered and the larger the quantity Of
feed produced. But the advantage Of
much greater palata bleness Of pasture
or hay which contains a variety of
grasses is even more important. AS an
aid to make all hay more eagerly eaten,
some sweet-scented vernal grass seed
ought to be sown. 1t will be eaten close
to the soil by every kind of stock, and
when left for hay the aroma from it
will penetrate the whole mass and in
crease its feeding value.

1t Is related that n Kansas young
man recently kissed his sweetheart
ninety-six times in one minute during a
single sitting, and during the same
period the young lady managed to re-
spond with four. making an even hun
dred In the space of sixty seconds.
Astounding as they were in youth and
hope, and radiant with the joy of their
budding love, there was not fear Of
microbes on the part Of this ardent
young couple. who calmly pursued
their oscillations undismayed by any
such scientific fol de rol.

Leave Their Wives at Home.

1t is a strict rule with the big trans
atlantic steamship companies that the
wife of the Captain shall not travel in
his ship. The company strongly pro-
hibits its Captains from taking their
wives aboard with them. The suppo-
sition is that If anything should hap
pen to the ship the Captain, instead of
attending to his public duty, would de-
vote his attention mainly to the safety
of his wife. So that If the wife of
Captain wants to go abroad she must
take passage in some other vessel. This
rule also holds In many of the freight
iinaa.

Making Cheese at Home.

Until within comparatively recent
time. all the cheese made in this cOun-
try has been of home manufacture.
The method usually was where only
two, three or four cows were kept, to
use two messes of milk, skimming that
twelve hours old, at which time proba-
bly, One-half of it's butter fats, and
those containing least caseine matter,
would have risen to the surface, and
mixing this with the new milk of
either night or morning, this was heat
ed to 14O degrees or $50 degrees, and
as it cooled rennet was added. This
was usually from a calf's stomach
whose digestive juices, dried and fine
ly powdered, when put into the milk
quickly coagulated it. If the stomach
of calves could not be had those of
pigs were equally good, as each con-
tanned the pepsin, whose use was to
partially digest the milk. In Holland
there was general use Of hydrochloric
acid, which answered the same pur-
pose. Thus while milk and especially
scalded milk is hard to digest, the
cheese made from it is generally con-
sidered an aid to the digestion Of other
substances eaten with or before 1t.
Hence it Is regarded as healthful ar
ticle of food especially for those with
weak tomachs.-American Cultiyator.

Retailed.

Electric energy is now retailed In
New York like milk, empty cans being
collected and replaced by full ones.
The size of the cans varies with the
uses to which they are to be put. The
smallest are those carried by the ballet
girls to supply the electric lights they
wear. These batteries are about the
size of a box of cigarettes. The pocket
batteries worn by cyclists will light a
bicycle light for ten hours.

Forgiveness.


l sat in the evening cool
Of the heat-baked city street,
Musing, and watching little pair
Who played on the walk at my feet
A boy, the elder, of strong, rough mold;
His sister, blossom sweet.
When just in the midst of their play,
Came an angry cry and blow
That bruised the cheek of the little maid
And caused bright tears to flow,
And brought from my lips quick, sharp
reproof
On the lad who had acted so.
And he stood by, sullen and hard
While the maid soon dried her fear.
He looked at her with an angry eye;
She timidly drew near.
"Don't be cross, JOHNNY "a little sob),
"Let me fordive 90, dearr'
And the cloud is passed and gone,
And again in their play they meet,
And the strong, rough boy wears kinder
mien,
And brighter, the maiden sweet,
While whisper has come from the heart
of God
To man; man on the street.

Influence.

1AhuChGCs
"Ahi" sighed the woman, ''f could so
Out in the worlds wide busy mart
l would teach the millions the truths
know;
would plant them deep in each human
heart;
1 would do much good; but alas! alas!
am tied to the humble round of care
So busy / scarce note the days that pass
With five small children, what time to
spare"
In doing the duties that came to her hand,
And they were many, you may believe,
Gradually faded her day dreams grand.
And no more theories did she weave:
But every day, yes, and every hour.
She used her influence for good,
And exercised her sweet woman's power
Till each one of those children understood
The principles she would fain have taught.
They all went out to that busy mart
She would have sought when they tied
her hands,
And the truths she had written on each
child's heart
Were by them echoed in distant lands.
They were noted, distinguished, and schoi-
arly men,
And they did much good for the human
race;
But when asked whence their ideas came.
They all thought at once of their mothers
face.
And they answered humbly, yet proudly,
too,
"'Twas our mother taught US these les
sons true"
And their mother, resting conten; aud
serene,
Heard of these words and smiled like a
queen.

Dragging with Three Horses.

There are many farm operations
where three horses can be proftably
used. While the work of blowing, espe-
cially in spring, is comparatively light,
if grass land or stubble has to be
plowed in the fall for wheat, three
horses will do enough more work to
make it advisable to use them. II
horse labor is cheaper than hand labor,
as it surely is, to enable one man to use
three horses instead of two increases
the advantage. But the work Of drag
g:ng, especially with the spring tooth
harrows which tear up the soil, Is bet
ter done with three horses than with
two.

A gilded prayer book in her hands
Her face averted from the world,
A flag of penitence unfurled-

Are all forgot; but then, you know,
Her sackcloth clothes a dream Of grace
While ash of roses tints her face
For this is Lent.
A thing demure, she listens well
To what the churchmen have to tell;
But all the while a cherub fair
Of her attention has a share
Though this is Lent.
For maidens, though they pious be,
Will hearken to Loves softer key,
And woman is but woman when
There comes to her the man of men
Though it be Lent.
