GIRLS, KEEP YOUNG.
Youth is the Hest Time
OF Life.

"Mother wants 10 keep me a baby IN
til ! am 20" pouted a girl OF IA, whose
wise mother wanted to have her retain
the loosely-fowing locks and the youth
full simple garments suitable TO her
years for a couple Of seasons longer.
This complaint is very frequently heard
coming from the lips of maidens who
are TO be enyied owing to their adorable
youth, the very thing they despise.
The rosy flush, the slight figure, the
clear eyes will never belong TO them but
once. Once only can n woman be
young. Do not forget this, girls, so
anxious TO put behind you the one
period of your existence when the sun
shines as it never will again, and when
the birds sing with a sweeter meaning
than will be heard when the morning
has passed and high noon with the
greater heat and pressure Of the bur
dens OF life has rushed upon you. Isn't
every young thing sweeter and purer
than the ld-hardened, older ones OF
the same specie? Look at the lambs al
play note the tender green leaves that
shoot out in their innocent verdure from
the old winter seasoned branches. Kit
tens and chicks and young birds are
the most appealing creatures, and when
oAe comes TO babies there never can be
in all this lovely world anything so
sweet and loyeable as dear little
dimpled baby.
Therefore, girls, stay young. You
may have TO bear some Inconvenience
of restraint owing to your extreme
youth, but the time will come when you
will long for these incidentals OF the
youthfulness that will have passed
away from you forever Detroit Free

Sometimes few hints are worth

young mother, with no fond and ex-
perienced grandmother within call to
cut the gordian knot of an unexpected
nursery problem. In consequence baby
may often suffer inconvenience and
pain while the doting mamma is doc
toring the soft, silky down with which
his little head is covered. AS every
one OF experience knows, baby's scalp
is very sensitive, and the bones Of
the skull are not completely closed
up until baby is almost two years old,
and when any wise woman advocates
the use Of alcohol for the purpose OF
promoting the growth Of the hair or
keeping the scalp free from all baby
ailments, alent scurvy should appear
on the head, despite the care and
daily washings, do not rub il with
alcohol or use a fine-tooth comb for
loosening IL, but apply frequent and
homeopathic doses OF vaseline until
the trouble has all disappeared and
the little head is free from all disfig-
urements. Naseline will also pro-
mote the growth OF the hair and make

All clear and blue; but what was that
black speck away off where the prairis

Only a speck, but II came rushing on
almost with the speed of cannon ball,
increasing in size with every instant.
Mary Emma knew what 1t might be
twice had the town been almost de-
stroyed by cyclone.
What, oh, what should she do with
the baby? The wits which Mary Emma
had been enjoined TO keep about her
quite forsook her, as was no wonder.
She never could quite remember what
happened in the next two or three min
utes, only that a rushing, roaring noise
deafened her, that the earth and the
sky seemed to come together with a
great shock.
When she came TO herself she was
prone on her face under pile OF shingles
and hay-the lighter ruins of the barn
but she could help to extricate her
self; she was almost unhurt
"Where is the baby?" said Hiram's
voice, hoarse and unnatural.
Mary Emma looked toward the house;
II was still standing. The cyclone,
which had swept the great barn away
like feather, had only brushed the
house in passing, and unroofed the little
ell.
Then Mary Emma looked toward the
well. The woodwork was gone COM

Hiram's grandfather had made that his
wife might have something TO remind
her OF her New England home.
Mary Emma shuddered as she looked
toward the well.

sobbing.
Hiram rushed into the house and
ransacked every corner, and came out
again, with his face more dreadful than
ever in its grayish paleness.
A throng of men and women had
gathered All had their own troubles,
ruined homesteads and haryests-the
cyclone had devastated the Pillsbury
settlement, leaving the rest Of the town
untouched but there had been no lives

THE TEMPLE OF FAME.

sIIow far away is the Temple OF Fame7'
Said a youth at the dawn OF day;
And he toiied and dreamed OF deathless
name;
But the hours went by and the evening
came,
That left him feeble. and old. and lame.
To plod on his cherries way.
For the path TO Fame is a weary climb
Up mountain steep and high.
There are many who start In their youthful
prime
But IN THO battle with fate and time.
Eor ono who reaches those heights sub
lime
Are thousands who fall and die.
The youth who had failed could never guess
The reason his quest was vain:
But he sought no other 10 help or bless
He followed the glttering prize, Success,
UP the narrow pathway OF Selhshness,
And this had been his bane.
SHOW far away is the Temple OF Goodr
Said youth at the dawn OF day:
And he strove, In a spirit OF brotherhood.
To help and succor, as best he could.
The poor and unfortunate multitude
On their hard and dreary way.
He was careless alike OF praise or blame;
But. after his work was done.
An angel OF glory from Heaven came
And wrote on high his immortal name,
Proclalming this truth, that the Temple
And Temple OF Good are one.
For this Is the lesson that history
Has taught since the world began:
That those whose memories never die,
Who shine like stars in our human sky,
And brighter grow as the years roll by,
Are men who have lived for Man.
