Suppose you had box containing
SEVENTH five thousand silver dollars,
and YOU knew that this money
would have to support you for the
rest of your life. Suppose there
were no possibility IF investing it at
interest, or Of earning any more, but
that you had to dip into the box to
meet your daily expenses, aud that,
when your last coin was gone, you
would starve to death. If you were
thirty five years old, you would be
able to spend about six dollars day
antil you were seventy. What
should you think, in such circum.
stances, of the policy of spending
two or three dollars apiece for ten
cent novels, paying the price of
opera seats for continuous perform
ance shows, and allowing every
chance Acquaintance to help himself
10 your coins as he would to your
matches?
1t is said that"time is money" 1t
is something more than that. 1t is
life itself. If you are thirty five
years old and expect to live to be
seventy, and if you have six leisure
hours a day, which is quite as many
as most people can count upon, you
have just rs, $50 hours ahead of you
for ali the culture, recreation, en-
JOyment and usefulness to yourself
and others that this world holds for
you And you have not the GER
tainty, as you would have in the
case of the dollars, that your hours
are all in the box. Perhaps the one
to which bore is helping himself
just now may be your last.
When that bore drops in at eight
IN the evening and stays until eleven
he has pocketed at least the one
twenty five-thousandth part of your
life. When you spend ten hours in
reading worthless book you have
thrown away more than the one
eight thousandth part of your leis
are existence. If you have to spend
an hour day on the cars, when an
improved system Of rapid transit
would take you to and from your
work in half an hour, you are sacri-
ficing one.twelfth of your life to the
backwardness of the corporation
that carries you. If you have so
neglected the art of living that you
drift along aimessly for three hours
day, you are practically arranging
TO die seventeen years before your
time.
There is nothing so precious as
life when it is gone, nothing so
cheap while it is going.

Let ne rest ourselves bit
Worry 2-wave your hand 10 IL
Kiss your iinger'tips and smile
1t farewell a little while.
Weary of the weary way
We have come from yesterday
Let us fret us not, instead,
OF the weary way ahead.
Let MS pause and catch our breath
On the hither side Of death,
While we see the tender shoots
OF the grasses-not the roots.
While we yet look down-not up
To seek out the buttercup
And the daisy, where they wave
Der the green home of the grave.
Let as lauch us smoothly on
Listless pillows Of the lawn,
And drift out across the main
of our childish dreams again.
Voyage off, beneath the trees,
Der the fields enchanted seas,
Where the lilies are our sails,
And our seagulls, nlghtingales.
Where no wilder storm shall beat
Than the wind that waves the wheat,
And no tempests burst above
The old laughs we used to love.
Lose all trou "les-gain release,
Languor and exceeding peace,
Cruising idly DER the vast,
Calm mid ocean of the past.
Let us rest ourselves a bit.
Worry2-wave your hand to it
Kiss your hnger'tips and smile
1t farewell little while.

LONGINGS FOR HOME.

In all my wanderings round this world
of care,
In all my griefs-and God has given my
share
still had hopes my latest hours tc
crown,
Amidst these humble bowers to lay me
down:
To husband out life's taper at the close,
And keep the flame from wasting, by
repose;
l still had hopes, for pride attends us
still,
Amidst the SWANS to show my book.

Around my fire an evening group tc

And tell of all felt, and all saw:

Housekeeping an Art.
A wife and mother who conducts
her home as home should be con
Quoted has not whit more leisure
| time than has the husband and
father II he conducts his business
as it should be conducted And
ofttimes has she less time, because,
in comparison with what must be
done, he has generally more hands
to call upon than his wife. The de-
tails OF many home are conducted
by thousands of wives with one
tenth, yes, with One-hundredth part,
less proportionate assistance than
that which is at the call of the hus
band in the details of his business.
This fact men are far too apt to for
get. Nor is housekeeping likely to
grow less eXacting. Just as more
and more is constantly expected of
man in business by reason of
keener competition and widening
markets, so housekeeping is getting
TO De more and more complicated as
the conditions of our social life
change. The introduction of labor
saving devices does not simplify
housekeeping any more than does
the introduction of machinery sim
plify business. With easier and
greater facilities the demand be-
comes greater, and responsibilities
increase rather than decrease. 1t is
this fact that men do no not always
grasp; that precisely the same con-
ditlOns relatively affect the home as
those which affect the outer world.
Men fail to place the profession Of
housewifery on the same plane as
their own professions and mercan-
tile pursuits. And yet to each sex
professions hold the same relative
position, calling for equal require
ments and equal skill.-Ladies

Miss Helen Gould must feel that
the present month marks the close
of the most eventful year of her lie.
Although she had been very busy
woman before last spring, she had
always lived her life as quietly as
possible. So evidently sincere had
been her desire to avoid public no
tice that when she gave 100000 TO
the government, not even the Omni-
present cynics who whisper of
grand stand plays" and Theatrical
bids for attention" dreamed of
opening their lips to question her
motives.
Then came the busy summer and
autumn, full of generous, practical
devotion. And perhaps, after all,
the thing which has most won our
admiration has been the modesty
and discretion with which she went
steadily on doing the service which
seemed to fall to her share. No one
save she herself knows how difficult
1t was to avoid the persistent efforts
OF press and people to make her talk.

At the British and German Embassies

that the agreement was due mainly to the
TACT that German public sentiment was
averse to retiring from Samoa and, yield

solved the matter by taking an equivalent
