A woMAN's TRUE WORK.

1.-The work of woman in the
world is not to make money, but to
make home her true business in
life is that of wife and mother"
writes "An American Mother" on
"Is College Education the Best for
Our Girls" 7" in the July Ladies
Home Journal. "That is true with
regard to nine out of ten of these
pretty girls who are tiptoeing about
now in caps and gowns, and cherish
ing the fondest hopes that they may
some day be learned Fellows and
Deans. They will marry perhaps or
remain single, helping sisters or aunts.
They will have houses to manage,
marketing to do, stupid cooks to
guide, babies to rear, sick children
and men to nurse. Not once in
woman's life perhaps will she be call
ed upon to quote from an Assyrian-
Babylonic epic, or to dissect a cat.
But three times every day a meal
must be cooked under her supervi-
sion. At any minute, be she cook or
countess, she may be called upon to
make a poultice for a sick child, to
change the sheets under him, to know
why the bread is sodden and the meat
uneatable, to give medicine intelli-
gently to the baby in her arms. The
college, be it remembered, takes the
girl for four years out of family life
in which this kind of training would
be given to her. Its controllers, in
their anxiety to develop her brain as
that of a man, forget the woman S
life which is inexorably placed before
her, and do not fit her for its inevita-
BILE work.

sAv1N' MOTHER.

The farmer sat in his easy chair,
Between the fire and the lamp-light's glare;
His face was ruddy and full and fair.
His three small boys in the chimney nook
Conned the lines of picture-book.
His wife. the pride of his home and heart,
Baked the biscuit and made the tart,
Laid the table and stepped the tea,
Deity, swiftly, silently.
Tired and weary and weak and faint,
She bore her trials without complaint.
Like many another household saint
Content, all selfish bliss above,
In the patient ministry of love.
At last, between the clouds of smoke
That wreathed his lips, the husband spoke:
There's taxes to raise, and int'rest to pay,
And eff there should come rainy day,
'Twould be mighty handy, I'm boun' TO say.
T. have somethin' put by. For folks must die,
And there funeral bills and grave stuns to buy
Enough TO swamp man, purity nigh.
Besides, there's Edward and Dick and Joe
To be provided for when we go.
So, + was you, I'll tell you what I'D du:
I'd be as savin' of wood s ever could;
Extra fire don't du any good
I'd be savin' of soap an savin' of ile.
And run up some candles once in awhile;
I'd be rather sparin' of coffee an tea,
For sugar is high,
And all to buy,
Anq be eaer nd s g0o6 snPaggo ag6dt foH eoes
And look out sharp how the money goes,
Extry trimmin'
IS the bane of women.
I'D sell of the best of the cheese and honey;
And eggs is as good nigh about g the money.
And as to the carpet you wanted new,
guess we can make the old one due;
And as for the washer an sewin' machine,
Them smooth tongued agents, so pesky mean
You'd better get rid of 'em, slick and clean.
What du they know about women's work.
Du they calkilate women was born to shirk?"
Dick and Edward and little Joe
Sat in the corner in a row.
They saw the patient mother go
On ceaseless errands to and fro;
They saw that her form was bent and thin
Her temples gray, her checks sunk in;
They saw the quiver of lip and chin;
And then with a warmth he could not smother,
Out spoke the youngest, frailest brother:
You talk of savin' wood and lie
An tea an sugar, all the while,
But you never talk of savin' mother!'

robes are copy of the garb of Numa
Pompilius of the Roman Empire.
The ''pe1t" of the Canons is relic
of the time when priests wore the
skin of beasts with the fur out, and
these were not Christian priests.
Gowns, girdles and cowls were the
dress of Pagan ladies, not men. The
tonsure is forbidden to the Levites.
Burning persons at the stake is a
Pagan custom. The Cardinals hat
is copy of the Old Priest of Jupiter.
Pope is borrowed from the Latin,

a copy of a Persian custom. Postur-

Sisters of Mercy a copy of the old
Virgins aud Priestesses. We pray
the lives are not copied. Holy pro-
cessions and carrying images older
than the Christian Church. Written
prayers dropped from heaven and
heavenly visitants are relic Of
Mythology.
Thus we see what large number
of accretions have been added to the
church from outside sources. The
Church of Christ is simple in its way,
in its worship, in its ritual. It's men
are virile, and its women motherly.
Its priests are fathers. Its confessor
is God. It's hearer of prayer Christ.
It's helper the Holy Ghost.

THE ART OF TALKING WELL.

1t is better to be frankly dull than
pedantic.
One must guard ones self from the
temptation of talking shop and of
riding ones hobby
Whatever sets one apart as a capi-
tai "I'' should be avoided.
A joke or humorous story is depen-
dent upon its freshness for apprecia-
ton. Some emotions will not bear
warming over"
1t is no longer considered good
form to say word against anyone.
An ill-natured criticism is a social
blunder. Gossip, too, is really going
out of fashion.
True wit is gift, mot an attainment.
Those who use it right never yield to
the temptation of saying anything
that can wound another in order to
exhibit their own cleverness. It is
natural and spontaneous. "He who
runs after wit is apt to catch nom
sense"
Talk that has heartiness in it and
the liveliness and sparkle that come
of light heartedness and innocent gay
ETY., is a fairly good substitute for wit.
Offer to each one who speaks the
homage of your individual attention.
Look people in the face when you
talk to them.
-
Talk of things, not persons. The
best substitute for wisdom is silence.
IT &c rrovincia1icm to eay Eyes.
sir, !" mo, ma am" to ones equal.
Have convictions of your own. Be
yourself and not mere echo.
Never ask leading questions. We
should show curiosity about the con-
Germs of others only so far as is may
crafty them to tell us.
Draw out your neighbor without
catechizing him. Correct him, if
necessary, without contradicting him.
Avoid mannerisms.
Strive to be natural and at ease.
The nervousness that conceals itself
under affected vivacity should be con-
trolled, as should the laugh.-Jlrs.
