Nagging.

A woman who had lost her mother
in early childhood, said to friend :

ing, and now, when can realize what
she had to bear. think of her with
pity and tenderness; but the effect of

hood. When | hear others speak OF
blessed memories, it cuts me to the
heart that have no memory of moth
erIy, loving words. You knew her SO
we'll that it is no di loyalty to speak to
you. I remembered one day-you
were i'm the room-when she ragged at
Joey till | caught up the little sobbing
fellow and carried him away and, un-
happily, he remembers it and has
spoken of it-many times"
An orphan girl lived for some years
in house where there was'continual
nagging and fault-tinding from moth
er aud father, sisters and brothers. She
had spent q few weeks with a gentle,
motherly woman, and on the last day
of her visit, as she sat with the loving
arms about her, she said, looking up
with a pitifuI appeal in the sensitive
face: "Oh, you don't know how
sorry 1 am to leave you. Pm sorry for
many reasons, but most of all because
your voice is so soft and sweet. Some
voices hard, angry voices-seem to 90
through and through me. l dread, [
dread to hear them"
A vivid recollection of visit to q
summer resort is of an irritable, in
valid mother and her unhappy, ha-
rassed boy. She nagged at him in the
dining-room till the poor child lost all
appetite. One morning the father
came down alone, and explained that
mother was not well enough to come
to breakfast; whereupon, the boy,
with childlike frankness, exclaimed,
"Oh, Pm so gladW Then, seeing his
fathers reproving glance, he explain
ed. "You know, papa, Pm not glad
she's sick butt do enjoy my break
fast so much more when she's no,
here" That woman was an egotist.
Her own ailments were her continual
theme, and the comfort of her hus
band and child was wholly disre
gardel.
II think mamma doesn't like me
auntie." said another sensitive child
"Oh, if she would only sometimes
seem satisfied with me, and speak tC
me as you do with Nellie used tC
try so hard to please her, but it ISM
any good, for no matter what | do she
always thinks it wrong"
There are nagging men as well 8:
nagging women, but as the fathers are
usually absent from home during many
hours Of the day, they have less oppor
tunity to destroy family peace. Mem
ores of mothers sweet voice have
led back wandering feet to paths OF
righteousness but harsh words o
other mothers have driven the chill
dren to the broad ways of destruc
ton.
In another home the nagging of the
mother was repeated in the children
Old grievances were dwelt upon, mag
nitied, and brought forward at most
inopportune moments, and there was
a continual round of petty fault-tind'
ing and retort. But realization oi
her responsibility came to the mother
she controlled the querulous words and
turned them to gentle ones. The chill
dren were puzzled. They did not eX.
pect the new condition to last; but il
did last, and now it is rare to kear an
impatient word i'm that house from any
of its members.-New York Tribune.

HOW TO ATTAIN OLD AGE.
Advice From an Authority on tho
Subject Of Longevity.

subject OF LOuBeSitS'
or the giving Of recipes for longeVl-
ty there Is apparently no end. Every
man or woman who has reached OUT
far beyond the allotted threescore
years and ten is made the subject or
an entertaining argument to prove the
points Of this or that contender.
Every abnormality in the shape OF
strength Of arm; Of back, of general
system, is used as an illustration or
the virtues of this or that system OF
exercise or living. 1t Is the opinion OF
q good many laymen that mankind
does entirely too much thinking on the
subject Of how to live to q ripe old age.
Less worry on this point might lead
to the desired result.
But there never will be less worry.
Even now the list of systems for pro.
Iongaton Of mans days is being aug.
mented. The very latest suggestion
comes from a physician Of credit and
renown. He thinks that there Is a
very great deal Of benefit or Of injury
in the wearing of certain kinds OF
clothing. -
According to this authority, the
wearing of flannel next the skin Is
immensely injurious to the general run
Of men and women. Cotton Is king, In
his opinion. For summer wear he
suggests a calico shirt, while balbrig.
gan cotton Is his idea Of winter COW
ering. The main point Of his theory
Is the necessity Of wearing always the
same kind of material next the skin,
whether this be Of linen, cotton or
wool. t
Outdoor exercise Is highly recon-;
mended-that is, if cycling be except;
ed. Wheeling Is not considered sane
performance by this judge. f

VALUE OF TURNIPS.
How He Varied A Crop Of Turnips.

Some years ago when we were just begi In

rather singular experience.

We had never seen turnips grown for this

how many times we went over. But we made
the soil 80 fine and so deep that the pIow
hands took off their shoes and put them IN
the fence corner because they sank over the
shoe tops.
HOW MANFRED AND PLANTED.
We used stable and lot manures bro 'dcast
