" Home.We1lnese,t'

How often we hear it saio, "It is worth
while to travel to have the Joy Of getting
home again. One never realizes how good
home is TIL one has been away from it for
some time" How seldom We comprehend
the disgrace involved in that remark! For
it is our business to understand the joys of
home. 1t is our business to appreciate it
while We are at home, and while our appre-
citation can do our dear ones and the pre-
cious home life some good, and not wait
till we go away or till some confused re-
turn. whose transient emotions are 80
speedily forgotten. Home.wellness thinks
every morning as we rise: "How good it is
to be member of this household! How
blithely the sun shines in at my window!
How bless God for this good home"
,Home-wellness looks around at the break
fast table upon all the dear ones there.
and shines out it's gratitude from beaming

and loving praises. Home-wellness goes
through the entire day with song in the

Camping Out.

Timely is the warning given by a
well-known actor against the folly Of
sleeping on the ground to which peo-
~ple who camp out are addicted. Leav-
ing behind them feather beds. hair
mattresses. close sleeping-rooms and
artificial heat available for cool sum-
mer days, they expose themselves to
the sharp night air OF the open. lying
down on the cold bosom of mother
earth. They expect to derive imme-
diate benefit and much vigor from
! this. Well for them if they do not
fall victims of rheumatism and bron-
chitis.
A safe general principle to follow
his that the higher above the ground
one sleeps the more healthful will be
ones slumber. Campers out should
allow themselves the luxury of cot
beds, or, at all events, should sleep
in hammocks swung at least six feet
above the ground.
It is the height of absnrdity for peo-
pie accustomed to the artifcialities
of modern life to attempt emulation
of Indian customs. We are no longer
robust as in the primitive age of the
world, when luxury was yet unimag-
ined. Folly of this kind will make the
summer vacation injurious instead
of benefcial.-New York World.

Beauty is Italy's Bane.

Florence and Venice and the rest

dangerous legacy from their past

beauty (Which the people themselves

a disposition to spare no expense. The

as his natural prey. Why should ne

The victory instead Of going to

a more efficient beggar. Into these
cities. where such a fine harvest can
be gathered on such easy terms, the
strong. industrious peasantry are
sucked until they become idle, demor'
allied gamblers. And all because they
are the most beautiful places In the

He was a tall. powerful Scotchman and
had held the position of 'boss striker" at
the steel works for years. Nearly all the
men in his department were hard drinkers,
and he was no exception to the rule.
But one day it was announced among the
workmen that he had become religious;
and, sure enough. when pressed to take a
drink, he said: Il shall never take a drink

A knowing one smiled and said: ''Wait
