TRAINING CHILDREN.
When All the Family Help, Work II

Labor.

When right-minded parents once see
the benefits their children may derive
from manual training they will certain
~ plan for them to have it.
One mothers desire to have her
daughter learn homework led her to
dismiss her servants and herself share
the work, that her object might be ac-
complished under her own careful SUI
pervision. Nor was this done in a spirit
Of martyrdom, but one of wholesome
joyousness, remembered by both years
after with the greatest pleasure. One
cannot teach the dignity of labor who
does not feel it and it is only to those
who look upon it as degradation that it
becomes such.
When in the course of human events
the maids place, become vacant, as is
apt to happen in the best regulated
families, the members thereof usually
sit about bemoaning the disjointed
condition of the universe. In one fam
lily l know of, when such occasion comes,
each member takes part; even the boys
attack the ever-to-b e-washed dishes
and the paterfamilias does not lose
caste in the community by lending a
hand when at home in either the cause
of cleanliness or cooking. He can sweep
and dust a room as deftly as any maid,
cook meal, and even bake bread rather
better than the most of them, all with
out making muss or losing his temper.
Temper? Why, it is at its sunniest on
such occasions-the entire family really
rather enjoy the frolics they make of
them. Their motto seems to be Help

HENDERSON,
Town Lots for Sale.

So this was the magnificent city of
the future, the coming metropolis of
the northwest, the city of beautiful
paved streets, splendid sewer system,
magnificent public buildings (none of
them yet, however, quite completely,
extensive parks and valuable groves.
There was not building nor a sign
of a building in sight, neither was there
any evidence that man had ever before
traversed that barren waste save to
nail up the sign which attracted the
attention of the traveller and inspired
him to merry laughter.
AS he returned TO his seat in the car
to await the coming of the rescue crew,
his ill-concealed amusement demanded
explanations; so to the gruff man of the
plains who fraternized with him by
clubbing him ''pa-ardner," but loud

BURST MAyFLowER BUBBLE.
Pref Anteek's Learning Played
Hob with Mrs. Jones
Rare Relics.

Mrs. Jones is q Colonial Dame. Mrs.
Smith is a Daughter of the Revolution.
or course Mrs. Jones is obliged to look
down just a little on Mrs. Smith. Mrs.
Smith has therefore an abiding affec-
ton for Mrs. Jones, naturally.
Now. Mrs. Jones has a number Of
things that came over in the Maytlower,
as all well-regulated Colonial Danes
should. Naturally they are dear to her
soul. To hear her tell about them is a
JOY; to see her show them to an APP
preciative visitor is a thing to be re-
membered.
Mrs. Smith ran across dried-up little
antiquarian the other day-Prof. An
teek, of Edinburgh, f. A. s., +. a. 5. E.,
L. A. S. L., F. 2. S., f. r. II. S., F. S. A.,
L. S. A. E., f. A. S. Scot, etc. He was
travelling incog, so to speak, but, after
little conversation with him in which
the subject of Mayfower relics was
preached, Mrs. Smith insisted on TAX
ing the little man to an afternoon tea
at Mrs. Jones' 1t was not long before
the artful Mrs. Smith had Mrs. Jones
showing her precious relics to the pro-
fessor and her guests. The antiquarian
cast one look at Mrs. Jones' treasures.
Then he cleared his throat and began:
This silver wine cup may be gen.
uine; there is nothing to show that it
is not. l should say that these pewter
dishes were beyond suspicion. These
spoons are all right, doubtless. But
this silver coffee urn is of later date.
So is this teapot. So are these china
cups. So are these knives and forks.
None of them ever came over in the
Mayhower."
How can you be so sure, professor"
said Mrs. Jones, crimson with indigna-
ton and modification. "All of them
have come straight down from that
Patience Brewster who married
Thomas Prence"
THAT may be, madame, but the hypo-
thetical teapots end coffee urns and
china cups that are supposed to have
come over in the Mayfower are all de-
lusions. Tea and coffee were never
heard of in England till about 1906.
For many years after that tea was sold
in England for from SO to $15 pound
-Pepys in 1871 speaks of it as a strange
and barbaric beverage just introduced
1t is therefore improbable that either
tea or teapot or teacups reached Amer
lea until long after Mary Allerton, the
last survivor of the Mayfower, was laid
to rest on Burying hill. Forks had not
then been invented. There NAV have
been here and there q table knife, but
they were regarded as curiosity.
Each man carried a clasp knife, or
sheath knife, or a dagger, which he
used on necessity. Most meat was cut
up before being brought on the table"
Mrs. Smith says she cannot under
stand why Mrs. Jones is so coldly
formal nowadays, when they meet

obtained at such a place. One of the
Americans finally called for his check.
The waiter performed a feat in mathe-
mates and learned that three times

entreaties, the American (who carried
nothing more deadly than penknife)
spared the life Of the trembling waiter,
who had made run for the stairway.
There was another computation, and
it was decided that three times three
made nine, and then the ferocious
Americans departed, TO the great relief
of the natives.

THE UNSEEN WORLD.

Close at our door, but holden from our
sight,
Spreads out that unseen world to which
we 60
Its glories bathed in that celestial light
Which angels only and redeemed ones
know.
The loved ones who now walk that world
unseen
Are nearer to us than they were before;
Here distances oft widely intervene,
Now they are but few steps just be-
fore.
Sometimes we hear perhaps but think we
hear
A loved but absent voice, that thrills US
through
Sometimes we feel touch OF some one
near,
And quickly turn 10 find no one in view.
Say not that those gone before do not love
still,
Nor walk with us. ordained as helping
ones,
That our fond fancies do but cheat our will,
And our desire our reason but outruns.
The love they gave us when they sojourned
here
CLOVIS no less fsryent In that world I'M
seen,
They walk beside us. very, very near,
So near we feel their touch, their pres
ence cen.
They are around about US everywhere,
These unseen, silent messengers of God,
Nor can we know while here how large a
share
They had in making smooth the way we
trod.
A; times we seem to catch by inner sight
A partial glimpse, as through a door ajar;
To see the blest Ones robed in spotless
white,
That reach in serrled, sun crowned ranks
afar
Sometimes a note falls on the inner ear,
That with strange sweetness all our be-
ing thrills,
For nothing born of earth we ever hear
Can with such rapture all our senses fill.
All. how familiar "a our thought and sense
This unseen word grows with each pass
ing year.
AS oae by one our dearly loved go hence,
Till Heaven holds more OF them than
earth does here.

Shall loose this silver cord and give re-

And we shall pass the veil that hides that
land.
