The teachers are busy. | see them go
ing to and coming from their school-work
daily. and I cannot fail to notice that the
true teachers are always buoyant and en-
thusiastic; there is an elasticity in their
movements and a CHEEKY ring in their
voices that is like an inspiration to those
about them, and the older teachers who
have loved their work and followed it
many years, have this same wide-awake
manner and tone. Perhaps there are sew
eral reasons for this. They are interested
in their school and their pupils; their
minds must be active if they are to be sue
cessful, and by their association with
young people they imbibe a youthful
spirit.
suppose very few school reports have
been written that did not EN- phasize,
more or less distinctly, that teachers and
parents should CO. operate in the great
work OF educating the young. l want to
make one little plea for the teachers.
When your children come home with re-
ports OF what the teacher has done or has
not done in her line of work, whereby
something is not satisfactory TO them, do
not condemn the teacher unbeard. She is
working, no doubt. for the good OF the
school, She may make mistakes When
she makes one either in discipline or in
conducting Rotations, the entire neigh
borhood viii know il probably When
you make mistake in the management
OF. your children or your family affairs.
you have the saeredneas and the secrecy
of the home to shield you from the eyes
OF the neighbors. Quite likely she may
have made no mistake at ali, for children
may not and cannot understand all the
circumstances OF the case.
Oftentimes parents do not know hat is
wisest and best for the training of their
own children; how can they expect
stranger to take company of children of
varying dispositions, and OF different
home training, and have the wheels of
progress roll smoothly along each day
without jolt or jar? l have often won
dered that there is so little friction as there
is considering all the circumstances.

Those who have heavy brussels or
mOQuette carpets, often find it con-
venIent to clean them without TAX
ing them from the floor, and this
can be very easily and satisfactorily
done. Tear some old newspapers
into small pieces, soak them in wa
ter, then roll them between the
hands until they form soft little
balls. Scatter them thickly over the
carpet, then give it a thorough
sweeping with good broom. The
paper will collect the dust and keep
1t from flying about. Prepare a
cleansing mixture by dissolving two
bars of white soap in half gallon of
hot water, anu adding four ounces
of boraX. Add enough of this mix
tIre to pan of warm water to make
a strong suds, and scrub the carpet
with IL, using a brIsh and taking

HER HOUSEHOLD WAYS.

| see her, through melodIOus days,
So sweet about her household ways,
Serene as even bird that sings,
With all the trouble that life brings
Nothing seems toll, for heavens above
Has lowered her with the gift of love.
That love which deems it not a task
To give the bread the starved lips ask
To soothe the living into rest
Place roses Oh the dying breast;
And if there be heaven above,
To reach it on the wings of Love!
Life is so short-the grave so deep,
Well may we kiss from eyes that weep
The bitter, burning tears, and make
Earth heaven for others sake!
So, those that bless the way that's trod
Must find at last some heaven and God

For a soul, for soul that is born to-

Let us enter softly and kiss the feet
OF the mother lying pale and sweet.
Let US lift the infant from her face
And fold il in close embrace;
Let US hold it far from where man has
trod,
Let us hold il up to the throne of God,
And pray with the strength of deep

Till lie bends and He sends in aquiver-

Lounging Comforts.
Big, fluffy, sensible outdoor pill.
lows and cushions, with strong
washable covers, ale now counted
among the requisites of summer in
dispensables. They must not be
fashioned for show, but for "SOlid
comfort" And whether the home
is surrounded by shady hammock
hung trees and roomy porches, or
simply the one tiny porch over the
front door, coy hooks can be surely
found somewhere where hammOckS
can be stretched, and cushions aud
pillows and easy-chairs will invite
repose.
In planning these lounging com
forts, in the way Of cushions aud
pillows, the first consideration
should be durability. When in
daily use on the porch or in the
hammock they will soon become
soiled, and will be very unsatisfac-
tory unless made of durable and
washable material. A pretty ham
mock pillow no. only adds addition
al comfort, but gives q touch of color
that is charming. A material must
be selected that will not fade when
exposed to the sun, nor lose color
and beauty if left out in an occa-
sional shower. The best materials
are Turkey.red of the best quality,
blue denim, and gray linen.
An attractive hammock pillow re-
Gently finished had cover Of
Turkey-red stamped in what is call
ed a starfish pattern, then outlined
in white working-cotton. On the
reverse side were the owners initials
worked in white, and the pillow was
set together with white braid as a
piping.
Another more elaborate one of
blue denim was outlined in star
and crescent pattern in white. The
ends of the pillow were cut in points,
and eyelets worked In each point;
then laced with blue cotton cord
over strip of white linen, which
was tackled to the pillow, and could
easily be removed when soiled.
Common gray towelling, with a
red stripe on each side, made a
cover for a third pillow. At each
side of the stripe was worked row
of cat-stitchipg in red madonna cot.
ton, and on the upper side of the
pillow, also in red, the words,
"Sweet be thy dreams" Another
one, similar to the last, was of bu fl
linen worked in brown wash silks.
The same materials may be used
for porch and lawn cushions, which
should be stuffed with excelsior or
straw instead of feathers; and these
should be made much larger than
the hammock pillows. And as both
the "stuffing" and the covers are
durable, one can take solid comfort
without the dread OF "mussing"
them. -Harper's Bazaar.

Round them out with ceaseless praise,
Gods great love is on you set,
When the little lads are.still
Sheltered in your guardian care;
Yours to mould them as you will,

When the little maids have grown
And the children leave you, then

When YOU cannot tell ut night
Where your best beloved are,

One a sailor on the wave,
One soldier in the strife,
One low lying in the grave,
Worsted one in the woes of life

Happy days you're spending now.

Part the ringlets on each brow,
Hear the little daily tasks,
Soothe the passing childish grief
