minds that large knowledge can
somehow shift the track of life so as
TO avoid the necessity of labor, and
with this thought has been somehow
joined the feeling that drudgery is
something degrading in itself. A
poet has recently attracted wide no
tioe by interpreting in verse the late
Jean Francois Millet's picture, "The
Man With the Hoe" ASH it stood to
represent the hopeless and inevita.
BILE outcome of generations devoted
to field labor. Millet was himself a
peasant who by force of genius cap
tivated the world his picture, in
fact, represents d contented worker
who feels no call to a higher field.
We may we'll pause before such a
figure and consider the advisability
of injecting into it's breast a restless
longing for the unattainable.
FAILURES THE COST OF GREAT sue.
CEssEs.
The largest fact of life is that ev-
cry extraordinary individual success
comes at the cost of many individu-
al failures, provided we count as a
failure every effort that falls short
of a certain ideal If we could be
content, after aiming at a star and
hitting a livery stable Or a black
smith shop, there would be a great
deal more happiness in the world.
Instead OF generating a spirit of
subtle and indescribable discomfort,
or a disposition to berate Providence
and mankind because we are not all
born equally gifted, fortunate and
clever, education should disclose to
us our limitations and make us glad
to do our best within the periphery
of our abilities. If nature has made
a man for the hoe, is it we'll to try
to make him fancy that he can east
ly train himself to be a poet or a
statesman, an architect or an orator?
A second thought would lead US to
help him find out how to accomplish
most with his hoe. The cIods must
be broken, the hods must be carried,
the plOw must have it's man we can
not all be Senators, railroad mag
mates, lawyers, doctors, teachers,
poets, journalists, landlords, bank
ers, merchants, brokers, factors
the earth must give up the food of
the world, and the toiler, the man
with the hoe, or his like, must bear
the burden.
Now, is there reason for discon-
tent in all this? True education does
not aim at eliminating the law, an
nounced of old, that by the sweat of
his face man should earn his bread.
Day by day that law becomes more
inexorable, and it should be under
stood at the threshold of life.
Not to evade the law, but to be
able to obey it with ease, intelligence
and cOntentment is the object of
mental training, SO far as it regards
the mental and industrial interests
OF life. Discomfort is a powerful
factor in the problem of practical
worldly economy but it is not mere
discomfort with our natural place of
usefulness. The "man with the hoe
should be proud when he has done
mastery hoeing, for there is the ev-
ldence of his efficient education. The

s1NCERE's PROBLEM AGAIN.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Each week l
read the Chatterers' column and
enjoy the thoughts there. I take
special interest in the subject now
under discussion-the fathers and
mothers part in the training of the
child.
As the fathers part has been dis
cussed and as it is my opinion
that it is the mothers special
duty to train the child, my
thoughts will be on that line. The
father is the bread winner. 1t is he
who meets the conflicts of the out
side world. The mother is the home
maker. 1t is she who makes home
comfortable and pleasant for the
tired father. It Is she who T for
and trains the child from infancy,
teaching him the first laws of ODE
dience TO mankind and to his Crea-
tor and teaching him of the brighter
life beyond by the simple words of
prayer. She is always ready to an
swer his innumerable questions, and
thus she may unfold his young mind
to all that is noble and pure. Moth.
ers should not consider the child's
questions idle prattle. What is it
that has developed our greatest men
and women? Was it not the a
full training of a devoted mother?
Walter Scott was great in literature
because his mother spent her even
ings reading and telling him the
Scotch history and legends. Will
liam Cullen Bryant with his mothers
help had read the Bible through at
the early age of eight. John Rus
kin's mother took a portion of each
day and taught him the Bible. We
do not wonder then that he is able to
picture so wildly to US the beauties
through Natures God" Tenny-
o writes much of the Greeks and
Romans because he learned of their
noble deeds from his mothers even
ing readings.
These are only a few examples
from the noble throng who have ac-
ted their part on the stage of life
nobly because of the direct training
and influence of a devoted mother.
Could every mother realize her
great responsibility in the training
of her child, there would be more
people of thought and high charac
ter. Every mother should have
home a place of intellectual devel-
opment for the child. It is true you
r busy with your many cares, so
that you think you have not time to
spend your evenings reading or talk
ing with the child but this should

GIVEN HER CHOICE.

Little Harry's experience with
death was limited to the decease of a
pet canary, which had been sent to a
taxidermist, and now adorned the
parlor mantel.
His grandmother, of whom he was
very fond, was taken suddenly ill.
For some time after he learned Of
her condition he sat in a brown
study then, as if coming to a sud
den resolution, he tiptoed into the
siok-room, and cautiously approach
ing the bed, fixed his serious big
brown eyes upon his dear relative,
and said, with a little culver in his
voice:
"say, grandma, if you die, which
would you rather be, buried or
stufed?-'oause if you're buried we
can't see you no more, but if you're
stuffed we can set youin the parlor'" "

PRESERVING FRUIT.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE 81 have never
meant to forsake your Circle, but
"duty before pleasure is one of my
notices, and sometimes the pleasure
is delayed in coming, but it never
fails to arrive. AS this is the sea-
son for canning fruit, I think that
perhaps a few remarks as to how I
succeed so we'll will be of benefit to
some young housekeeper.
See that the jars are in perfect
order. 1 test them by filing them
with water, put on rubber, then
screw on the top and turn them up
side down, and if the least moisture
escapes I try a new lid or rubber. I
keep a supply of new rubbers on
hand, for they are no small factors
in my success.
have used many of my glass jars
for the past eleven years, SO you see
that I have the secret of how to
fill them. When your fruit is ready,
wet a -four sack in cold water and
wrap the jar so that the glass is
covered, then dip out a small guam.
tity of the boiling fruit (say half
cupfu) pour in the jar, place your
hand fat over the top and hold it
there for few seconds for the steam
to warm the glass. Remove your
hand and fill as rapidly as you wish
without fear of breaking the jar. I
never break one.
In selecting fruit 1 prefer that
which is perfect but not quite ripe,
as the flavor is then better. In can
ming peaches, pour in water to come
almost to the top of fruit and cook
until you can pierce with a straw,
then can them. To can tomatoes,
pour boiling water over than, re-
move the skin, pour them in a ket-
tie, using no water and cook until
they too can be pierced with a straw.
Fill your quart jars, but do not for
get to put a teasUoonful of salt into
each one just as you + ready to
screw on the top. Another valuable
secret in successful canning is having
the fruit hot through, then leave no
space at the top for cold air. Never
lift a jar by the top as this often adj
mits air and causes the fruit to spoil.
Always keep in a dark place.
Hoping that these hints will bene-
fit some other housekeeper, I beg to
remain a friend to Soaial Chat,

The Home Circle.
ANKABEL LEE.

It was many and many a year ago,
In q kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden lived whom you may know
By the name of AnnRbel Lee;
And this maiden lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love,
1 and my Annabel Lee;
With q love that the winged seraphs OF heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud chilling
Ny beautiful Annabel Lee:
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me.
To shut her up in a supulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me;
Yes. that was she reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee,
But our love it was stronger by far than any love
OF those who were older than we,
Of many far wiser than we;
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever discover my soul from the soul
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but | feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And so, all the night tide, 1 lie down by the side,
Of my darling-my daring,-my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

EDUCATION AND Discomfort.

A distinguished writer, in discus
sing the use of tobacco, named as one
of it's chief evils the fact that it
brings the user TO a state of abso-
lutte content with his condition in
life. At a careless glance this would
appear a not very strong argument
against
"Nicotia, dearer to the muse
Than all the grapes bewildering
juice"
as Lowell has it for our sagest phi
losophers have agreed that content
ment cannot exist apart from a
sense of haVing made the very best
of life's opportunities and what is
properly meant by a good education
is the training which makes it posi-
BILE for US to take opportunity as it
flies and extract from it a measure of
content.
But of late argument has been
offered that education itself induces
a dangerous r~estlessness in the
minds of young men. 1t is asserted
that but a small per cent. of those
who receive a more or less enlight-
ening course of training in our
schools and colleges have the ability
to use their education so as to reach
a position in the least satisfactory to
the ambition reused by the stimulus
of books, and the glowing pictures
of life's rewards to the educated
young man as drawn by the enthu-
siastic educator. In a word, it is
held that discomfort, rather than
happiness, follows education in
a large majority of cases, and that,
therefore, it would be better for the
world were intellectual training ap-
piled to the gifted few, while the
mediocre andinferior many were left
to the cOntentment and ignorance
which should naturally go along
with the hewing of wood and the
drawing of water.
PROGRESS THE Law OF LIFE.
UnquestiOnably we must admit
the disquieting effect of education !;
but disquiet is not necessarily inju-
rious; movement is but another
name for it and the office of school
training at its best is to direct move
ment. Nor should we accept mere
ambitionless mental stagnation as
contentment. Progress is the law of
life, and the school, which in q broad
sense includes the home, is the start
ing point where life takes it's main
direction. At this important point
the clear distinction should be made
between sound and wholesome dis
content.
The youth who feels that he must
have a career may easily drift into a
false understanding of life's possibil.
tiles in his own case and may set for
himself a goal that is far beyond his
power to reach. We often hear it
said that nothing is impossible to
the w~ide-awake and thoroughly ed
ucated young American; but the
level-headed young man should know
better than to take such a statement
too literally. Only one man out Of
all u millions can be President :;
the others are forced to look out for
something a little lower, at least ev-
cry four years.
An impression has been made, gen.
Grafton after generation, upon young
