THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In EARLY Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are SO taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration IN this. If q young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment ara her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice withoa.

Pinlham helped her:

True Story of Othello.

Rome-A diary kept in 1912 by the
representative in Gambia of the repub-
lie of Venice has just been discovered
in Venetian convent. 1t is stated
that the document contains the whole
history of Othello, and completely con-
tradicts the version given by Shakes
peare. The writer describes Othello's
arrival in Venice, his marriage and sub
sequent career and death, the latter
event occurring while Desdemonia was
still alive. 1t may be, therefore, that
the palace in Venice pointed out to the
tourist as that occupied by Desdemonia
is actually the one. Still. there is
doubt about it.-Pall Mall Gazette.

to us all at the same time. The
dense shadow was sand barge, heav-

on to the barge as she struck.
It was all over in minute. The

tried to assist the women, but l saw
Miss Martin make the jump and fall
back before Mr.. Russell could assist
her. AS for myself tripped over the
seat and went down between the boats.

HOW nLokER EcoNoMlzEp.

Undertook to Dye Easter Eggs and
Came to Grief.
After Bloker had looked through his
bills for the month he went home with
blood in his eye.
Mrs. Bloker," he began, as soon as
the evening meal was over, this fam
ily's got to put on the hold-back straps.
1t Is Just possible that you may agree
with me when say that it Is really
difficult for man to lay up money
when he's required to spend more than
he makes. Judging from precedent,
you intend buying lot of dye stuffs
to color Easter eggs for the children.
You'll do no such thing. Having had
an economical mother, know just
how to prepare the eggs. Have the
rag bag brought down, give me nee
die and thread and then let me have
the kitchen to myself. I'll show the
children some Easter eggs that will
make their eyes stick out"
After there was time for Bloker to
bags and give them good boiling,
there came yell and crash from the
kitchen. The family rushed out to find
him dancing about on one foot, while
he was trying to get the other under
the cold water tap in the sink. The
water that scalded him was running
over the floor, and the varied colors of
the family calico were running with
it. There was not whole egg in
sight, and the kitchen was hotter than
a caucus in a river precinct. Mrs.
Bloker hustled the children upstairs
that they might not hear what papa"
was saying. An hour later he was
helped to bed with his injured foot
wrapped up like case OF govt. Next
morning he sought to automatically
close the incident by ordering half
bushel Of eggs of all colors and every
possible combination of colors. The
bigger the bill the easier he will feel

A MOONLIGHT SAIL.

This story was related by q lady
friend whose narrow escape from
drowning give below in her own
words: Several years ago in the
month Of June, while on a visit to q
friends house, situated in New Eng
land village. met with an accident.
from the effects OF which my nerves
have never fully recovered.
This village overlooked q large nav
igable river, where crafts OF different
kinds plyed during the day. and some
times far into the evening. often set
for hours on the cool broad veranda,
watching them pass and repass. admir-
ing the graceful elms on It's banks.
whose green foliage was reflected in the
depths below.
One particular day the weather had
been warmer than usual, and the hours
had been passed indoors away from the
glare OF the sun; but the evening came
In cooler, with breeze off the water,
and the bright radiance of a full moon
transforming the scene into fairy land.
My husband came hastily up from
the wharf with the proposal Of sail
by moonlight, for which purpose he
had procured boat. Our hostess was
engaged, but Miss Martin and Mr.. Rus
sell (also visitors) were only too happy
and consented with pleasure. was
delighted, but wished to wait long
enough to change my thin muslin waist
for thicker one, but my husband OBJ
jected to the delay and begged me to
come just as was, so catching up q
shawl from the veranda chair, hastily
threw it over my shoulders and declar-
ed myself ready.
We were soon Fastening down the
road to the wharf, merry party of
four. In few moments we had board
ed the boat and showed 1t out into the
stream.
I don't think ever saw more per-
rect night. In the brilliant light of
the moon everything looked different
from the common light Of day. and we
laughed and joked, and thought our
selves both fortunate and happy to be
the participants Of SO much pleasure.
The boat just moved fast enough to
create pleasant motion as we glided
gracefully along. the white sail set to
the refreshing breeze. The coast SEEM
ed comparatively clear. and with moth
ing to hinder our progress, we sailed
on and out over an enchanted sea.
We had grown strangely quiet, each
seeming to realize that though speech
was silver. silence was golden" and
each one seemed busy with his, OF her,
own thoughts. For my part was
thinking Of home and friends far away.
Many Of them had passed over the mys-
tic bridge that spans this world and
the next. but somehow they seemed
strangely near me on this night. The
very air seemed people with spirits
bright and beautiful from out the dear
