KIND WORDS.
"Kind words can never die"

"Kind words can never de"
Little words in love expressed,
Little wrongs at once confessed,
Little favors kindly done,
Little tolls thou did'st not shun,
Little graces meekly worn,
Little Sights with patience borne
These are treasures that shall rise
Far beyond the smiling skies.
Selected,

The better plan is to keep a gAner-
Gus supply of fresh fruit constantly
on hand in the house. When a
child becomes hungry between
meals and asks for something to eat,
give him apples, grapes or "a peach.
1t seems to be a well-ascertained
fact that apples, while satisfying
the "empty" sensation of a hungry
person, do not interfere with enjoy
ment of ones regular meals. The
apple is par excellence a health
food. 1t helps to keep the digestive
apparatus in good working order,
and the weak subacid of the fruit
appears to act as lubricant to the
machinery of the human body.
Therefore, instead of refusing to
allow your children to ''eat between
meals" or instead of permitting
them to cram sweet biscuits, crack
ers or cakes, it is the part of wise
mother to lay in supply Of apples
and allow the children unrestrained
access to the fredericksburg Dis
patch.

We read good deal in the daily
press about heroes and heroines, but
there is no greater heroine than the
poor woman, mother, sister or daugh-
ter, toiling day after day, patiently
and uncomplainingly to support
those she loves, and who ere unable to
take care of themselves. There are
thousands of these kind of beroines
in city and country. They furnish no
sensational headlines TO newspapers,
but their names will be writ large in
the Book of Life.

God likes an earnest SOUL
Too earnest to be eager; soon or late
1t leaves the spent horde breathless by
the way,
And stands serene, triumphant at the
goal.

One of the largest factories in
Orange, New Jersey, Is managed by
Mrs. Rachel Neill. Six years ago
the mill was partly destroyed by fire,
causing great financial embarass-
ment TO Mr.. Neill. His wife came
to the rescue, and so vigorously and
successfully has she conducted the
work that the husband Is now con-
tent to leave the business manage
ment in her hands while he spends
his time at the lathe. In six years
Mrs. Neill mas not only cleared the
factory of all indebtedness, but has

Success Ideals.

practice thy spirit to great
thoughts and things"
There is nothing small in a world
where a mud-prack swells to an
Amazon, and the stealing of a penny
may end on the scatfold.
HWell TO suffer is divine:-
Pass the watchword down the line,
Passsthe countersign, 'Endure;'
Not to him who rsshly dare,
But to him who nobly bears,
Is the victor's garland sure"
Il would have you regard courage
as nearly the supreme quality III
character. One may get rich with
out it; one may live good, easy
life without it, but one cannot live a
full and noble life without it. 1t is
the quality by which orc rises in the
line of each faculty it Is the wings
that turn dull plodding into flight.
1t is courage especially that re-
deems life from the curse of COM
monness."
ITO believe and go forward is the
key to success aud to happiness
Doubt and distrust are the negative
and corrosive forces.
There is not an experience in life
by whose side God mas not fixed a
promise. There is not a trouble so
deep and swift-running that we may
not cross safely over if we have
courage 10 steer and strength to pull.
--BEECHER.
There Is at this moment for you
an utterance brave and grand as that
of the colossal chisel Of Phidias, or
tr"wel of the Egyptians, or the pen
of Moses or Dante, but different
from all these.
Have we not all, amid lfe's petty
strife,
Some pure ideal of nobler life,
That once seemed possible?
We have, and yet
We lose it in the daily jar and fret,
And then live idlein a vain regret.
But still our place is kept, and it will
wait,
Ready for us to FIJI it, soon or late.
No star is ever lost we once have seen;
We always may be what we might have
been.

NAVAL WAR RECORDS.
Hope of Completing Half the Work
During the Next Year.


During the Next Year.
Superintendent z. X. Rawson, in charge
of the publication of the naval war records.
in his annual report to the Secretary of the
Navy expresses the belief that during the
next fiscal year it may be possible to issue
the twelfth vo.uue of these records, thus
marking the completion of about 80 per
cent of the work, for it Is expected to COM
plete the series in not TO exceed twenty-six
to thirty volumes. During the last fiscal
year the eighth and ninth volumes were
printed and the tenth is nearly compiled.
The superintendent asks for slight in
crease IN the appropriation to meet the
necessity of better Illustrations and maps
There have been added to the Navy De
partment library during the year 1OS9 vol
uTnes.
As the number OF periodicals and profess
siOnal books increases from wear to wear
the value of the library as a siorehouse of
information upon all, naval subjects is an
parent. a value which viii be continuously
appreciated by the increasing number of
ofncers IN the navy and bureaus of the de-
Eartment,for whose especial use the library
was established.
during the year there has been added to
the library considerable number of en-
cravings and photographs pertaining to
naval subjects. II is proposed to have this
hne OF the library's usefulness as comp etc
as possible.
Card catalogues of the library are kent
