Good Resolutions.
CNorfOlk Virginian and Pilot. }

(NOTIOIk V lfAluldH anu IiiOt.
This is the season for turning over
new leaf, and beginning fresh ac-
count that shall be more to our credit;
in short, at the close of the old year,
the retrospect shows so many errors
and defaults in our lives that we re-
solve that the New Year shall not
know nor exhibit We accordingly be-
gin the New Year with good resolu
tions; and provided that what we call
so, are resolutions, and are also good
ones, the practice ought to be en-
couraged as salutary one; but there's
the rub. Are not our sO-called resOlu-
tiOns mere shams? Are they not
mere salves to conscience and the
annual tributes our vice pays to
virtue,-with a reserved understand
ing that it is all empty form and that
we shall continue in our old ways?
1t is to be feared so.
OF course, such mock resolutions
are only mockery of reform, and
work only evil; weakening the char
acter and confirming our evil habits.
Really good resolutions, that are
resolutions indeed, seriously resolved,
with no mental reservations, and
with an earnest intention to fulfill
them,-they are blessed at last. even
though one break them seventy times
seventy; for such honest resolutions
confession and repentance, which are
at any rate the beginnings of a better
life, and which, in the end, will
bring forth fruits meet for repentance.
Repeated effort, even if it fail re-
peatedly, must develop increased
strength. though shams and pre-
tences only weaken us and give
strength to the evil that possesses us.
Therefore, ones good resolutions
must be real, with muscle and back
bone in them, as well as mind and
conscience. SO framed and con-
stituted, one must carefully consider
the conditions and circumstances
favorable to their observance, and
those adverse; diligently seeking the
former and avoiding the latter with
caseless vigilance. He must reflect
that he has entered a contest for
great prizes; that not only is his
IuduuOOtl db Sldkc tudb Ou IL
pends whether he is to secure a bet
ter and happier life and purer,
higher and stronger character, or
not.
Heaven and earth are looking on;
angels and men are watching the ex-
periment-THE TEST. Remember
that success here and hereafter is
waiting upon the result, and that it
is probably now or never. Pray and
work and battle, if need be, for
victory. Do not make your good
resolutions a jest nor allow others to
do so. 1t may be life or death with
you, and you should cling to your
resolutions as drowning man grips a
rescuing buoy.
MAY God bless you!

that a man can 60 on, year in and

Home Journal. my firm belief is
that had he, in the first flush of mar
ried life, talked over his business

for her own and their chlldren's.

She Favor. tn. Wheel.

"As far as my observations hnvc gone,
! have not found that the use of the BIZ
cycle is detrimental in any way to the
morals of women" SAYS Ellen NJ Hanro-
tin in the New York Journal. 81 should
say the moral effect has been good rather
than bad. Naturally in a large city there
is number of women who take licenses
for liberty and dress themselves in an ex-
aggerated manner, but doubt IL they are
my more harmful to the community
when riding their wheels In the open air
and parks than frequenting concert balls
and other places.
The use of the bicycle Is distinct
gan to very large number of indus
trious and self supporting women and
girls. 1t gives them the necessary out
door exercise. which they need very
much. aud certain place in social life
AT the beginning OF any new means Of
locomotion there is tendency to excess.
but that will regulate itself in time.
Il should not give much for the morals
of any woman who is not able to carry
herself with dignity and respect on a
wheel or who feels contaminated because
n certain number OF women who ride
the bike are not OF their class.
'Thc exercise is conducive to good
health. md there is hardly any other out
door exercise that is more beneficial and
healthful than bicycle riding. Many of
Chicago's most respectable and cultivat.
ed women are bike riders Bicycle rid
ing is no longer fad, but n means Of lo-
comotion.
''In all cities Of moderate size the gem
eral use Of the wheel and the objections
that are against 1t in Il larger city do not
prevail. ri

in many OF the big cities thnt the social
leaders were dcvotecs Of the whe,I. I

are austere aud ctcrnal-of one web with

Some of Their Benuttful hcNes
About the Noon and stars.
That Indians are the true children of
nature is illustrated in the many fancies
they hold regarding nature. For in

universe and that the moon Is his wife.
All OF the stars are his children. and when
Father Sun makes his appearance they
hurry away TO hide themselves MS best
they can. for they are in very great fenr
Of him. because the stars believe that If
the sun catches them he will eat them.
So 1t is that the Piute Indians believe
that when the sun appears in the morn
ing and the stars are lost to view the
sun has done his best TO get one of them
for breakfast. But just as soon as the
sun goes TO rest in the west in the late
afternoon then the stars hurry out again
for good time with each other and their
mother. the moon, whom they love very
much indeed. The moon. too. thinks a
very great deal Of her children. bat every
month she hides her face from view and
goes into mourning because of the stars.
her children. which her cruel husband.
the sun. has eaten.
On this account the Piute Indians are
afraid OF the sun and look upon it as n
most wonderful power. hut it is TO the
moon that they tell their many conf
aences. because she is tender. gentle and
beautiful, jnst as mother should he.
Venus. the evening star. they look upon
ms the brayest OF all the moons children,
and that is because every evening she is
the first to come out from her hiding
place as the sun sinks in the west.
As for the comets. the Piutes believe
them to he stars which the san has
caught, but while he was eating them
they in some why got away. and the long
tell OF light which follows the comet is
