When Mother Tucked Me Into Bed.
Oh, long ago it was, and still sometimes
it seems so sweetly near
The tender lilac-scented air, the frogs
full chorus, shrill aud clear,
The drowsy ciinging, smoky scent of
bonfres smold' ring in the yard,
The sweet, far call of some late bird
the bark of distant dogs on
guard
All, me. It's all so wondrous clear-her
lingering touch upon my head,
Her tender kiss-her brooding eyes when
mother tucked me into bed!
How family sweet the lilac-scent How
soft the gentle stirring air!
How dear that loving work worn hand
so softly laid upon my hair
Her motherfacei her mother-eyes! Oh
childhood's sweetest memory,
Through all the years. through sorrows
tears that note of music comes to
mel
Outside the smoky, sprngtime scents
the frog coming clear and
sbrill,
The cow-belrs drowsy monotone out In
the pasture on the hill
The murmured fragment of prayer
her touch upon my drowsy head
Oh, dearest memory of all-whea. mother
tucked me into bed

Eating Fruit.

Plenty or frult III lis season, ell
while 1t Is ripe and fresh, Is no doubt
an excellent thing for the health and
promotive of good digestion, healthy
liver and pure blood. But our by
gienic friends, especially If they are
of vegetarian sympathies, are some
times likely to become a little cranky
on this subject and to carry the advo-
cacy of frult-eating to an extreme.
Judgment is needed in eating fruit as
in other things, and selection should
be made to suit the individual and his
present condition. Fruit Of any kind
may easily be eaten to excess. the
fruit enthusiasts to the contrary not
withstanding. Much Is said about The
benefit of eating fruit in the morning
or before breakfast. But many per-
sons cannot eat fruit before breakfast
with good results, and many do not
relish 1t in the morning at all. Others
do not like to take it at meals Such
ought not TO force their taste and con-
vert fruit into n dlstasteful medicine.
The appetite is. generally speaking the
best guide as TO what fruit should be
eaten when, and how much, in case
the person Is In ordinary health. If
he is not. he should, of course, ger his
physicians opinion on the subject.
Young Mothers, Remember.
One of the points for every young
mother TO remember is this; that the
weight and quantity of the baby's
clothing must be governed by the con-
dtion of the thermometer The aver
age mothers unwluingness to suit the
clothing to the temperature Is unques-
tionably responsible for numbeiless
cases Of summer Illness among little
children; yet the necessary changes
must not be made recklessly, or with
out due regard for the child's physical
condition. For instance, strong, alb
solutely healthy baby requires less
clothing than a puny, delicate one in
whom the tide of life runs low. But
even in the hottest weather sufficient
projection must be given 10 the stom-
ach and abdomen hence the little
wooden shirt must not be discarded,
though almost everything else may be.
Fresh air, and plenty OF it. IS good
for the baby at all times, and especial
II In the summer. when the available
supply of cool air is all too small; but
at no season of the year can he be
exposed to Il draught without absolute
danger--and least OF all when he is
overheGted and but thinly clad

sowinp and Reaping.


We SOW our seeds with idle, careless
hand,
Nor heed their fall,
But hurry onward like the laborer freed
At sunset call.
The evening dews refreshing moisture
spread,
The ripe earth warns them In Its well
come bed,
Wheat, tares and all.
Upon day we come to view the aeld
So idly sown;
Alas. how small the wheat, how big and
great
The tares have grown.
With bitter toll we strive to clear the
weeds.
Remembering that the casting of the
seeds
Was but our own.
