THE CHILD 10 THE TA4HER.

Father, it's your love that safely
guides me,
Always it's around me, night and
day,
1t shelters me, and soothes, but never
chides me,
Yet, father, there's a shadow in my
way.
All the day, my father, 1 am playing
Under trees where sunbeams dance
and dart
But often just at night when I am
praying
feel this awful hunger in my heart.
Father, there is something-it has
missed me
I've felt it through my little days
and years;
And even when you petted me and
I've cried myself to sleep with burn
ing tears.
Today I saw a child and mother walk
ing,
caught a gentle shining In her eye,
And music in her voice when she was
talking
Oh, father, is it that that makes me
cry?
Oh, never can I put my arms around
her, .
Or never cuddle closer in the night;
Mother, oh, my mother Rive not
found her
I look for her and cry from dark
to light!

VALUE OF A coon NAME.

A good name is the best protection
a young man can provide against evil
days. If Jim Wilcox had lived half
right the jury would not have agreed
so quickly that he was guilty of the
crime with which he was charged, but
he was so worthless and wicked that
the evidence against him was readily
accepted and believed. Testing times
will come in the life of every young
man. There are sl.'~ ierous tongues
ever ready to destroy the reputation
and stab the character. 1t is a pity
that we are obliged to believe that
there are around us every day those
so debased and corrupt as to rejoice
at the downfall of a good man. What
a rock of Gibralter a good name is to
a man who is maliciously assailedl

A THOUGHT FOB DISH WASHERS.

Do you know it is real missionary
work. we believe, to continue to agi-
tate the dishcloth and dish washing
questions. Why there are housekeep-
ers in the q. S., we are told, who just
wash all their dishes, glass, silver,
greasy plates and all, through a sort
of luke warm dish water, wiring out
the dishcloth and wipe them with it.
Wipe all of them, mind you, in this
way. No nice, hot suds at first, no
rinsing in hot, clear water, no dry dish
towels, no nothing to make the dishes
sweet and clean, and the occupation
rather a pleasure than a drudgery.
cline upon line and precept upon
~precept," There must be a way to
arouse such housekeepers; to impress
upon them the filthy, unhygienic side
of the matter. Think of the microbes
fostered under such a regime! Dish
washing and caring for beds are two
important things, not alone to the
housewife, but to all the world. We
hope our young housekeepers, the lit
tie girls growing up, will begin right.
Habit is everything.-Selected

WHAT Is ITS MEssAGEl

What does your money say to you
What message does it bring? Is it one
of hope, of culture, of s~oul-growth, of
education, of opportunity to help 9th
ers, or is it a message suggesting more
land, more thousands for yourself?
Does it bring a message of generos-
ity, or of meanness; of broader man
hood, or of more selfish exclusiveness
of larger aims, or of lower ideals? The
character of the answer to these ques-
| tions measures the worth of your
career.
If your success does not mean open
ing wider the door of opportunity to
those about you; if it does not mean
encouragement, inspiration, and help
fulness to those who are struggling to
| get up in the world; if it does not
mean a wider outlook upon life, a
truer measure of real values, you have
missed the higher meaning of life and
have failed to catch the keynote of the
great harmony of the universe.
What if you have gathered money,
if you have starved the mind; what
if you have broad acres, if you have
a narrow intellect; what are houses,
stocks, and bonds to a man too small,
mean, and narrow to use them wisely?
What if you have reached the top of
the ladder yourself, if you have crowd
ed others off and kicked the ladder
down after your own ascent! Is this
successful keep others back?
No man climbs the ladder success
fully who does not grasp firmly and
helpfully the hands of others who are
crippled and handicapped in their
climbing. When riches beget greed,
they become perfectly useless. The
man who possesses them creates ami
mostly among his fellow beings while
his own life is a burden.
The man who mounts the ladder
alone without trying to help others,
lacks the warmth of human sympathy,
the touch of helpfulness, the quality
of humanity.-Success for July.

coffee was preferred, for we knew no
other than rye coffee sweetened with
sorghum. That is what we called our
molasses, made at home and boiled in
our wash pots. We children would
gather white muIberries and press all
the juice out through a cloth and boil
it to make candy, and a time we would

were, and everybody made enough to
eat. I could tell you much more about

PHYSICAL CULTURE IN HELPING
N0THER.

@ ID
America still has several million
girls who find a large part of their
physical culture in helping mamma,
and are not blushing because of the
fact. For such girls, the vista of pos
sibilities is long and alluring.
For arms, fingers, and wrists, wash
ing and wiping dishes will be fund
admirable. One is as good as the 9TH
er. Perhaps the water aids in giving
suppleness to the joints of the fingers.
That is an advantage washing dishes
has over wiping them. However, there
is surely a fine elbow movement in the
wiping.
Bed-making, as it is still taught in
the homely physical-culture academies
of Yankee farmhouses, cannot be too
highly recommended. With the fold
ing of every counterpart, blanket, and
sheet, the arms are stretched as far
apart as they will go, each hand hold
ing one end. Then, standing perfectly
erect, the chest is thrown out. Quick
" the hands are brought together
again, and presto! the sheet is folded
double! Shoulders, body and limbs are
all developed by the understanding
The eye and the sense of symmetry
learn much from the regular arrange
ment of counterpart and pillows. Of
course, this exercise ought not to be
carried too far.
Sweeping gives much the same mo-
ton, without the jerkiness of golfng
strokes. For the graceful perfection
of arms and shoulders, so much deslr-
ed by every ambitious girl, nothing
could be better. l do not advise xcess
in this recreation. But there will be
nothing harmful if you only sweep
each room in the house once a week.
Floor-scrubbing, like lawn tennis, is
rather violent, and not to be tried I'M
less YOU are sure about your heart.
At first. it will be almost as severe on
the knees as rowing in a shell; but, as
you get used to the occupation, 1t Will
give a subtle satisfaction of its OWL
Running up stairs when mamma
wants something is frst-class exercise,
and running down stairs is almost as
good. Interesting diversions will be
found in e~gg-beating, and ice-cream
freezing. busting ought to have a
chapter by itself. First, you are down
on all fours; then you are on tlptoe,
seeing how far the duster will C
This tiptoeing, with it's ankle develop
ment. is superb! But that isn't all!
You twist yourself into all sorts OF

MANNERS FOR BOYS.

Keep step with any one you walk
with.
Hat lifted in saying Goodbye" or
"How do you do?"
Hat lifted when offering a seat in
a car, or in acknowledging a favor.
Always precede a lady upstairs, and
ask her whether you may precede her
in passing through a crowd or public
place.
Let ladies pass through a door first,
standing aside for them.
Let a lady pass first always, unless
she asks you to precede her.
Look people straight in the face
when speaking or being spoken to.
In the parlor stand till every lady
in the room is seated; also older peo-
pie.
Rise if a lady comes in after you are
seated, and stand till she takes a seat.
Hat off the moment you enter a
street door, and when you step into a
private hall or office.
Never play with knife, fork or
spoon.
Use your handkerchief unobtrusive-

Do not take your napkin in a bunch
in your hand. -
In the dining-room take your seat
after ladies and elders.
Rise when ladies leave the room, and
stand till they are out.
Eat as fast or as slowly as others,
and finish the purse when they do.
Cover the mouth with hand or nap
kin when obliged to remove anything

Do not look toward a bedroom door
when passing. Always knock at any
private room door.
If all go out together, gentlemen
stand by the door till ladies pass.
Special rules for the mouth are that
all noise in eating and smacking of
the lips should be avoided.
These rules are imperative. There
are many other little points which add
to the grace of a gentleman, but to
break any of these is almost unpar-
donable.
did you make up all these rules,
auntie?" said Roy, as a copy, neatly
printed by a typewriter, was placed in
his hands.
make them up? No! These are
lust the common rules of society
which every gentleman observes. You
will not find your father failing in one
of them.
"WeI, but he is a mani" said Roy,
deprecatingly.
"And do you not wish to be a manly
boy?"
Roy said nothing, but it was noticed
that the rules were placed very care
fully in his drawer.
Some months have passed since and
auntie has had the pleasure Of hearing
repeatedly the remark, "What a man
", thoughtful little nephew you have"
as n and another observed his polite
and careful attention to others.-Un-

AN EXPERT ON DRINK.

Seved Ribbing, the famous profess
sor of medicine at the Swedish uni
versity of Lund, makes these remark
able statements in concluding an ad-
dress on one phase of the drink curse:
How large a per cent of moral
downfalls are caused through drink I
am unable to say, but certainly it is
not ~infrequent that you hear from
many a questioned youth for an an
swer, I was somewhat under the in
fuence of liquor Through drunken
ness and in drunkenness one accus-
toms himself to conditions which, IN
der ordinary circumstances, would be
r~eligiously Stunned. In course of
time the sense of shame is overcome,
and silenced, and the evil habits are
looked upon as an everyday necessity.
The cases when a young man will in
cold-bloodedness and with a clear head
and with decided intention throw him
self into the arms of prostitution are
very seldom in comparison with those
that happen under the influence of
liquor. An English army physician
has shown fguratively that sickness in
a troop is much less among the total
~abstainers than with the balance of
the men,"
