"While we were living In Eng

minister, In the brilliant Christmas
number Of Success" was often
surprised at the ways Of English
girls; but, when came here, l found
that American girls enjoy . still
greater freedom. Perhaps 1t may
have good results. In China, girls
are prevented from having any
knowledge Of the world until they
are married, and for this reason they
are always helpless and thoroughly
dependent. Even after marriage
they learn but little Of real life, I'M
less they are very poor and are
obliged to work hard. Now Amer
lean girls seem always to be able to
take care Of themselves. am more
and more astonished every day at
things the American girls are able to
do. They say there Is hardly any
profession which women do not fol-
low, and that sometimes they are
more successful than men. When l
write Of these things to my friends
In China, they can hardly believe

Put Him to Work.

Put your boy to work If he is not
In school, Is the advice Of western
newspaper. If there is nothing else
for him to do put him to white
washing the back fence. Keep the
lawn moved, and even cut the win
ter supply of wood. Anything Is
better for him than loafing about
town at the head-end of q cigarette
stump, learning all evil and con-
tracting all the vices that the devil
Keeps afioat to catch idlers. No
honest labor will hurt your boy, but
the evil habits he may contract on
the streets may kill his soul aud
poison his moral nature 30 as to
make him Q detriment to the COM
lnunlty In which he lives and bow
down his gray-haired parents with
sorrow. Ii the fathers and mothers
Of today would learn the importance
Of training their sons to be indus
trious and keep them of the streets,
the coming generation would be in
sstimably better of.

ates the immortal scene.
The crush Of good features in the

"The Man with the Hoe" It Is en-
titled "The Mighty Hundred Years.'

"If you correct your child In pub

initiate him-be a. careful Of hi
feelings ~ If he were grown. New
or correct In anger. DO not judge
hastily. When q misdemeanOr Ii

do not condemn the child unheard.
Teach politeness In the home, one to
another. The small boy appreciates

expected TO show Difference 10 moth
or aud sister. OF course, father Mus,
set the example. Teach reverence
for the aged, pity for the infirm
kindness to animals. Make Christ
mas, birthdays, Thanksgiving, Eas
ter, May-day each and all sweet
times to be remembered all through
life. Celebration need not be cost
ly; q birthday cake or cookie, new
ribbon, a flower, kisses, good wishes
kindnesses of word and deed, furnish
q catalogue from which the poores
can make selection Of tributes.

Chance for Sheep.

The farmers want sheep, but they
want a law protecting their flocks
from the dogs. In asking for law
that will benefit them and stimulate
what would prove great industry
they are not unreasonable, nor would
the enactment Of such q law as they
demand cause the least injury to the
richest or humblest citizen. The
officeholders who profess such great
love for the farmers have an oppOr.
tunity to show 1t on this question,
The farmers are entitled to some
consideration. They do the voting
and then the kicking. The correct
thing to do when the Legislature
meets Is to present q bill and have q
show down.-Lebsnon Tenn. Dem
