The Mothers of Our Presidents

DR.. Talcott Williams of Philadelphia has
made an interesting summary of the lives
of the mothers of our presidents.
Eleven of them or nearly half of the
number, We're in easy circumstances, be-
longing to families of education and gentle
breeding; the other half of the number
struggled with poverty and hardships more
or less severe. The lives barest of COM
fort or softness were probably those of
Jackson'S and Lincoln's mothers, who We're
pioneers in the west and literally struggled
for the necessities of life.
Some of these women We're unlcttered,
and perhaps narrow and bigoted. Some
We're of the fairest fruit of American CIV
ilization. But DR.. Williams calls attention
to the momentous fact that all, without
exception, We're godly and deVout women.
mo American" he says, has become
president without the memory of the pray
ers he lisped at his mothers knee. Not q
president but has left somewhere on record
his testimony to the training and religious
influence OF a Christian mother"
He notes also the significant fact that
all the presidents of the United States
have avowedly owed more to the influence
OF their mothers upon their lives than to
that of their fathers. More than half, in
deed, were left fatherless in boyhood.
The conclusion to be drawn from these
significant resemblances in the lives of the
presidents is that the qualities given to a
man by the love and daily training of a
sincere, God-fearng mother are those
which command the trust of other men.
The nation has not. perhaps, chosen its
most brilliant or possibly it's most able
men to be its chief rulers But it has never
chosen a man, from Washington to Nc
Kinley, whom the majority of the people
did not believe to be honest in character.
Tho "higher education" which the moth
ers OF our future presidents are receiving
today will enable them to give to their
children 4 broad culture along lines of
mental requirement, of which Mary Wash
ngton and Nancy Lincoln never heard or
dreamed. But let them not ignore the
honesty and simple religious faith which
these women gave to their sons, and by
which they were made steadfast in princi-
Pile. and held the confidence of the country
in its hours of direst need.-Youth's Com

er questions intimately connected with
political history. the debaters had few
words to say about Aaron Burr, whose ca
reer had been slated as the subject for dis
cussion. The gem of the discussion was
introduced by woman whose name is al
ways mentioned in connection with wo-
man suffrage. Despite the fact that he
lived to a ripe old age. this woman de-
scribed Burr as rushing around with
"blazing eyes" some ten years after his
funeral. Another statesman who was tick
eted and placed In his proper niche by this
same society was Benton. One member
didn't take much stock In Benton because
she had "a book on American statesmen
at home and 1t hardly mentioned him."
Tho other statements that were made
about him have excited the ire of several
critics, who have written to the newspa-
pers to say that the speakers were not
we'll informed on their subject. AS a search
for information is the object of this club
it is not probable that the members of It
will find fault with the crtics.-New York

The same figure was also embroidered IN

The center of the figure is worked solid

short scrolls are worked In light blue and

Her mothod of procedure was illustrated

cause its preparation and also the method
of eating are not understood. The first
point to be insisted upon is thorough fresh
ening. There is no danger of getting 1t
too fresh, because salt can always be
added but there is the necessity of getting
rid of the traces of the curing process.
1t should then be broiled, and If it is
plunged into boiling water for an instant
after it is broied this operation will plump
1t to an attractive appearance. 1t is bet
ter for being rubbed with little olive oil
rather than butter before broiing. Just
as 1t is sent to the table, lemon juice is
sprinkled over it and parsley is put on the
platter. No liquids should be taken while
the fish is being eaten. 1t is the contrary
custom, that of slipping coffee, perhaps,
after every mouthful or two, that has
given it the reputation of an indigestible
food, while in reality it is q valuable one,
