WOman'S Work.
THE GIRL WHO sM1LRs-

me wind was east, and the chimney
smoked,
And the old brown house seemed
dreary,
For nobody smiled and nobody joked.
Inc young folks grumbled, the old
folks CrOaked,
They had come home chilled and
weary.
Then opened the door and a girl
came in;
Oh, abe was hOmely-verv.
Her nOse was pug and her cheek was
thin,
There wasn't a dimple from brow to
chin,
But her smile was bright and
cheery,
She spoke not word of the cold and
damp,
Nor yet of the gloon about her,
But she mended the fire and lighted
the lamp,
And she put on the place a different
stamu
From that it had had without her.
Her dress, which was something in
her brown,
And with dampness nearly drip
ping,
She changed for a bright, warm,
crimson gown,
And she looked SO gay when she so
came down
They forgot that the air was nip
ping.
The forgot that the house was a dull
old place,
And smoky from base to rafter,
And gloom deDarted from every face,
As they felt tho charm of her mir th-
full grace.
And the cheer of her happy laugh
ter.
Oh, give me- the g,rl who will smile
and sing
And make all glad together
To be plain or fair Ia lesser thing,
But Il kind, unselfiSh heart can bring
Good cheer in the dAT kest weather.

BECAUSE THEY ARE LITTLE.

Let us then value strength Of will
and power of self. expression in our
ohild. Rude self f-asssrtiOn, a With
e. trample upon the rights of others,
must indeed never be cOuntenanced
nor tolerated. But woe to that child
whOse roughness Ia met bv harshnesS
from his parent whose petty attacks
upon property are chs cked by an
onslaught upon his own person ; who
learns, through experience, that he
cannot do just as he pleases CT have
ev' thing he wants because he Is
little and because grown people own
the world.
Then he merely puts eff his Ill
wishes with promise tn himself Of
future fuldlment. He is not taught
TO distinguish between right and
wrong, between fair and foul, but
made TO believe that anything may
he done if he is let do it, while all
that stands between any of his
wishes and their attainment is a
parents command. A curious stand
ard of morality, but a very natural
one for the child, who, asking why
he is not tO something he imaRines
proper, is sharply told by a parent,
because I tell you not to. That q

SHORT CUT TO LONG LIFE.

DR.. Cyrus Edison believes that when
people learn to understand the laws
of nature, many of them will live to
reach the age of 100 years. In Satur
day Evening Post he says: "The
Government bulletin sh )Wing that
the length of life in the United
States is materially increasing will
be taken as q matter of course by all
observing persons. The great gain
is in the lower death rate am, ny in
fants, among children under five.
The death rate is very much lower
than it was 25 years ago. The in
crease of general knOwl, d 90 among
the masses has TO do directly with
the greater longevity. People in the
ordinary walks of life who formerly
knew nothing, and cared less, about
hygiene, are well informed now
through the great spread of practical
knowledge by means of ne "spapers
md periodicals. Twenty years ago
one of the most prolific sources of
sickness was polluted water, the use
of which Was almost general. On
the farms you would find almost
invariably that the we'll and the
CesspOol we're so cl 'se together that
the water WAS of necessity deleteri
ously affected. Most persons could
not believe that so long as water was
clean and sparkling that it could
carry con tagiUn. We all of US real
iz3 that sometimes the most danger
Gus water is the best looking. Tue
result of this is that typhoid, which
was so common Is years ago, has
bren very largely put under control
We have learned the danger of pro
miscu ,us splitting; we have learned
the value of cleanliness Among the
masses 10 persons bathe regularly
where one did dozen years ago.
We have learned the value of clean
illness in our food. We reAliz3 the
danger of keeping our supplies in
dirty ice boxes where food is rapidly

When Tom was discharged. cured. he
went up to his grandfather's farm in
Oakdale. and all the village made ready
TO help him and give him good advice.
The old ladies shook hands with him
silently, shaking their heads as over

plain words of warning.
"To think of your going down that

which he received, and his old friends

mn listened respectfully. They were
cordial and friendly. After they were
gone the doctor and Tom discussed the
chances If Tom should take up the oil
business, showing him that he expect
ed him to make a success with his
knowledge and shrewdness.
"ion forget one thing" the young
man said, bitterly, "that am just out
Of an asylum for drunkartls. YUuhaye
not reminded me of it once"
why should remind you Of it?"
said the doctor, earnestly. "Wby
should you remind yourself OF it?

TEMPERANCE FACTS.

Arrests for drunkenness in 1?9
cities of the United States are said to
aggregate 10000 during the last fs-
cal year.
DR.. Wynn Westcott, an English
coroner, says: 1t is very rare that
q teetotaler takes his own life. Dur
ing the year 1899 he held IS inquests
upon suicides. 81 being males and II
females, not one of whom was Q
total abstaincr.
At the bottom of the wonderful
physical vitality OF the Turkish race
is the universal abstinence of the
common people. They are the most
abstemious race on the earth and the
healthiest. The soldiers, peasants,
merchants and members of the
learned professions never touch alco.
hol, although the upper classes Of
Constantirople drink considerably.
The sale of liquor by religious as.
sociations in France is causing con.
siderable comment at the present
time. II is possible that the force Of
public opinion will make itself felt in
Rome and an end made OF the
iniquity. The Evangelist quotes NJ.
Ciemenceau as stating that five re.
ligious communities sell wine whole
sale; six sell liquor wholesale; two
sell alcohol exclusively; four sell
liquors retail; seven converts are
patented as distillers, and nine as
