A MODEL CHILD.

Fl r temper's always sunny, her hair il
ever neat;
She doesn't care for candy-she saws
it is too sweet
She loves to study lessons-her sums
are always right;
AND she gladly goes TO bed at eight
every single night
Her aprons never tumbled, her hands
are always clean;
with buttons missing from her shoes
she never has been seen.
She remembers to say THANK Won -
and Yes ma'am, il you please "
And she never cries, nor frets, nor
whines; she's ne'er been known
to tease.
Each night upon the closet shelf she
puts away her toys;
she never slams the parlor door. nor
makes the slightest noise;
But she loves to run on errands and to
play with little brother.
And she's never in her life been known
to disobey her mother.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suffer, 4"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her;
"My health became so poor that l
had to leave school. was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back l was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. 1 was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience. thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
You for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as l
ever was. 1 have gained flesh and have
good color. 1 am completely cured Of
irregularity."

NEW HOUSTON STREET.
Reasons why 1t should Not he NAM
ed Park AVenne.

Reasons why 1t should Not he NAM
ed Park Avenue.
Editor Morning News: / notice that the
City Council last night changed the name
of New Houston street to Park avenue.
AS there was already a Houston street in
the city il was a mistake to name this
New Houston, and 1t is well to change 1t
to avoid confusion. II seems to me, how
ever, that Park avenue is a missioner for
two very good reasons: First, because
it being rather a narrow street, especially
east of Drayton street, it is not an avenue,
that name being usually applied to a
broad street, and second, the street not
passing near the park, but only touch
ing the south end of the Park Extension.
ought not to be named either Park street
or avenue. Bull street should be changed
to Park avenue because 1t is
an avenue, and because it
passes from Bay street around five
small parks before reaching Forsyth
Park and Park extension, and after leav-
ing the latter extends as an avenue 70 the
city limits. 1t is the only street in the city
that can be appropriately called Park
avenue, and l hope our next board of al
dermen will voice public opinion by max
ing this change of name, and in order to
keep the histroic name OF Bull, give 1t TO
the present New Houston street.
