The light, airy effects which mark
ed the winter models will be ex-
~aggerated in the midsummer hats,
says the Delineator. Hats made
entirely of tulle, or of tulle with
lace straw drawn through openings
in tiny puffs, are extremely popular
and are exhibited in a variety of
shapes. The tucked tulle toques r
charming, especially in black with
the tucks stitched in white. There
are hats of flowers and hats of leaves,
and by far the smartest are made
entirely of foliage and berries or of
chrysanthemum straw, which closely
resembles the petals of the flower
from which it derives it's name. All
the popular shapes and fashionable
oolors are procurable in this straw.
Soft, pliable Italian chips, Tuscan
straws and other braids are wonder
fully like silk and offer great posi-.
bilities when -cleverly manipulated.
The prevailing shapes this season, it
may be noted, are fiat and broad.

LAUGHED OUT OF IT.

Never be laughed out of anything
worth holding on to. Some people
are laughed out of their principles.
They are ashamed TO stand up for
the right in the face of a smile
Others believe in themselves only 80
far "a someone else believes in them.
They can be laughed out of their am
bitiOns. They give up the idea OF
amounting TO anything If at &C
queintance seems to think it absurd.
No man ever yet made his mark
who did not have to face ridicuie.
What do YOU suppose the men who
split rails along with Lincoln thought
about his ambitions? What shouts
Of hooking laughter would have
greeted young Garfield if as he trod
the tOwpath he had whispered TO his
companions the yearnings that filled
his boyish heart? Everyone has TO
meet the test of derision. Those who
can be laughed out of their beliefs
and their purposes are counted among
the worlds failures every time

THE MU1r1TUD1NOUs SEA OF BOOKS.

Advice Equally Good for Old and Young.
From "Books and Reading" "a de-
partment in the April st. Nicholas {:
Many grown people are ready and
eager 80 help you to find the reading
you will most enjoy. Many of you
sre wasting time upon poor books
when better books of the same sort
are ready TO your hands. There is
hardly a kind of reading in which
excellent books are not to be found.
Do not read the second. rate or third.
rate books because you think there
are none better. If you like advent.
ure, find out the best books of ad-
venture if you care for history or
the lives of great men or women, go
TO some older reader and tell him or
her the sort of books you like best.
There Is nothing in the poorly writ
ten books that has not been much
better done by greater writer's ; and
there + parents, teachers, librarians
olergymen, lawyers, editors, or men
of science who will tell you how to
reach the best reading.
And the best reading is the wisest
Investment. A great book can never
be used up there is always in it new
food for the mind, new pleasure. The
best books are called ''best" because
they have been most enjoyed. There
is no sense in wasting time on inferior

LEARN ACCURACY FOR ONE THING.

Every boy and girl should be de
termined TO be accurate. In study
ing lessons, be sure to get the exact
meaning in talking, state the truth
of the thing in working, do every
thing just right.
There were two boys who worked
in a store They were named John
and James. Their duties were alike,
and they were required to be at the
store at half-past seven in the morn
ing. John was always there TO the
minute, or a few minutes before
time; James came the same number
of minutes after time. When John
arranged the goods in the window,
they were accurately marked and
priced James forgot to put the mum
Der on, or priced them incorrectly.
These are only two of the things
which indicated the distinction be
tween the two boys. But every day
and week they grew further apart
John doing his work accurately and
therefore we'll, James sighting all
he conveniently could.
Is was not long until John was
promoted for carefulness in his
duties James was warned to alter
his manner, and finally discharged
The accurate boy grew up TO be a
wealthy, self-made man. Men liked
to deal with him they were sure Of
being treated fairly. James tried
several positions, but lost them on
account of his inaccuracy in little de-
tails and, though he got through
the world somehow, he had not the
happiness and uooess that John
achieved with the same ~opportuni-
ties. !,

THE CRY OF THE FA1THLEss.

Cecil Rhodes last words, $50 lit
tie done, SO much to do" have been
widely quoted. 1t was the plant of
a great man without religious faith.
To the man that works with God for

transformed into success and his de-
feats into victories. And though

WOman's Work.
KISSING Il BABY.

There r many mothers who give
themselves infinite trouble about the
big and obvious things connected
with nursery management,-who
strive bravely to be up TO date in the
matter of plumbing, ventilation and
infectious diseases,-who yet fail
wofully when it comes to certain de-
tails. One of the most important of
these is the disgusting and danger
Gus habit of allowing every conner to
kiss and maui the baby.
A baby, no doubt, is a delightful
object and almost irresistible, but
that is no reason why advantage
should be taken of his helpless con
dition to offer him constant hygienic
outrages.
Here is a speech a well-meaning
goose of a young mother made to the
father of her child on his return
from business: "Mrs. Smith called
today, John. She has a fearful cold
and r throat. She thought the
baby was just too sweet for any
thing, and wouldn't let him out of
her arms. He took to her wonder
fully, too" Naturally the baby de-
veloped a bad case of the snuf1es in
a day or two, and then it was "The
baby has a dreadful cold. We
cannot think where he got it, we are
always so careful"
This mother and the hundreds like
her should be taught the lesson that
p~romiscuous kissing is a bad and
vulgar habit, productive of much
danger 80 adults as we'll as to chill
dren. Adults can protect themselves
if they like, but infants cannot, and
so it is the duty of the mothers to
protect them.
Even if they meroifully escape
actual infection in babyhood, there
still remains the fact that a silly and
unolean habit is formed, resulting in
schools full Of kissing children, and
by and by In ridiculous communities
of kissing acquaintance. We may
learn a useful lesson from the Japa-
nese in this regard. They are not a
kissing race, and the little children
do not know what it means, except
perhaps from their mothers. 1t is
generally acknowledged that the
Japanese babies are the healthiest
of youngsters, and who shall say
how much wholesome restraint from
the kissing habit may have to do
with this fortunate state of affairs?
To make too much of children is
to spoil them, but in one respect
they should be treated like royalty
if they must be kissed it should be
only the back of the hand.-The
Youths Companion.

THE BOOKS WHICH HELPED LINCOLN

THR BOOKS WHICH HELPED LINCOLN.
1t is frequently said that the young
people of to-day read too many
books. 1t is not difficult to believe
this, when one remembers what
strong types of intellectual great
ness have been developed through
the thorough study of a very few of
the masterpieces of literature.
Lincoln in his boyhood had access
to four books, the Bible, "Pilgrim's
Progress" Burns Poems" and
"Weem's Life of Washington" He
so memorized many of the chapters
of the Bible, that subsequently he
seldom made at the bar or on the
''stump" a speech in which he did
not quote from it. He early learned
in his professional life that to a pub
lie speaker the Bible is the most USE
full of books.
Burns developed his fancy and
imagination, Bunyan taught him
how to use ~fgurative language, and
Weems inspired him with the noble
spirit of Washington. Foreign read
ers Of his Gettysburg speech and his
second inaugural address asked :
"Whenoe got this man his style,
seeing he knows nothing of litera-
ture?"
He got it from the English Bible
and from Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Prog
ress"-two books which represent
the rhythm, the idiom, the majesty
and the power of the English Ian
guage.-The American Boy.

To battle with the foe;
And we will lend q helping hand
We love the South, you know.

And win your lady there;

Are for the true and brave,
And that our tears + all for those

The late DIR. Purves, in sermon on
Drifting" recently published, pleads
for a discriminating understanding of
the age in which we live. THE spirit of
every age" he says, SIS commingling
of good and evil. 1t is force not to be
Stunned but to be mastered. .
With very many of the intellectual and
moral forces of our age we should be
in sympathy. But we should not drift
with it. The evil lies in submitting
weakly to it as a whole, in letting it
mold our beliefs without intelligent
and independent reflection on the
change. in being its slave and subject
instead of its master and critic
These are timely words. No man has
right to drift. God expects every man
to reflect and to compare. to test all
things and to approve the better. Do
not drift-decidel-United Presby-
