Women and the Food Supply.

Manufacturers appeal to housewives
by every advertising channel practi-
cable to TASK your grocer" or "send
US the name Of your grocer" for ar
t,cles newly put upon the market, it
being q recognized fact that though
grocers are always ready to order
anything asked for, it is not easy t.
awaken the housewives interest In
.anything out Of the beaten track of
STAPLES" The manufacturers do ap-
peal directly to housewives is an ac-
knowledgment that they-housewivcs
actually control the food supply
question. How could it be otherwise?
What the housewife is willing to Use
the manufacturer supplies; what she
refuses to use finds no market. There
Ia the food situation in nutshell. If
woman would but recognize its whole
significance there would be no more
question of food adulterations, fraud
ulent methods or inferior products.
The grocer stands ready to command
the out put of the manufacturer; and
the manufacturer stands ready to
meet all demands laid upon him;

the way Of perfect livlng.-Ella Nor

"rHERE IS NO DEATH"

These verses were written by j. L. Nc
Creery, an Iowa editor, and were first pub
lished in Arthur's Home Magazine of July,
1863. Shortly after this the Farmers Ad-
vocate, published in Chicago, printed an
article written by Eugene Bulmer, who saw
fit to attach the poem to the end of it. A
Wisconsin editor clipped the poetry and
credited it to +. Buimer. Another editor
thought "m" should be "w' and credited
it to T. Bulwcr. and in tine +. Bulwcr was
transformed into Edward Bulwcr, Lord
Lytton. After chase of nearly twenty
five years Mr.. McCreery was able to catch
up with the lie and nail it fast. lie is now
widely known as the author.
There is no death! the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forexerfnorc.
There is no death! the forest leaves
Convert to life the viewlcss air;
The rocks disorganize to feed
The hungry moss they bear.
There is no death! the dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers,
To golden grain. or mellow fruit
Or r,inbow-tintcd flowers.
There is no death! the leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours,
The warm, sweet breath of May.
There is no death! the choicest gifts
That heaven hath kindly lent to earth
Are ever first to seek again
The country OF their birth.
And all things that for growth or joy
Are worthy of our love or care,
Whose loss has left lis dcsolate,
Are safely garnercd there.
Though life become desert waste,
We know its faircst, sweetest flowers,

HABIT OF LYING.
Ways In Which Prevarication May
Be Developed.

Be Developed.
How does one become liar? That
Is to say, how does the child dis
cover q lie and habitually make use
of It?
We can admit that at the begin
ming there is absolute sincerity. The
child through all its first years neither
lies nor dissimulates. It's sentiments,
Its desires, translate themselves into
words and into acts. It's body is the
constant and perfect expression of its
inmost being. Such Is the starting
point-sincerity,. absolute transpal-
ency.
There Is multitude of little lies toll
Grated which we treat as pardonabie.
We tell the domestic to say We are rot
at home when we are; we compliment
people to their faces and criticise
them when they are goac; We say we
are happy to see some one and d.
rectly after speak of having been an
noyed. No more is necessary. The
example has been given.
We lie TO the child himself; we arc
pressed by mis- many embarrassing
questions and in order to free cur
selves from tho embarrassment re-
ply with what is frequently a false
hood. Some fine day he discovers the
truth, and the evil is done. The
gravest case is when the child is taken
as an accomplice in lie, or when his
mother tells him, above al, do not
tell this to your papa" This is the
ruin Of morality.
The third stage is the first encounter
Of the child with society-the first
shock with social life. The child who
tells all he knows, sees and hears, all
that he would better have left unsaid,
Is called the "enfant terrible" Ills
parents do not tell him to lie, but they
tell him 1t is not necessary to tell all
he thinks. This Is extremely serious,
as 1t teaches the child that he cannot
show himself as he is. This is the
revelation of the lie obligatory. Above
all, among his comrades he Is naive
expresses all his joys, pains, desires
they make sport of him-nay, worse,
they abuse his confidence; the hopes,
projects which he has conflded to
them he some day sees used against
him.
Thus the impossibility of living with.
out lying Is revealed TO him. Society
excuses certain forms of lying which
are inspired by feeling of polite
ness, modesty, shame.
The child becomes liar because
all ths world about him lies. The dis
tinction between the-li and the man
of sincerity is only relative. There
are in reality only two categories-
those who content themselves with
the lies exacted by social life ant
those who have habituated themselves
to lying more than ssSSeeitsty Wishes-to
lie beccanssee~ocisom BECAUSE 81 Some personal interest.
+ An important cause in the develop
ment of lying in children is the EN-,
ployment of excessive and i'll advised
punishment. The child who becomeE
liar is the one who lives in perpetual
terror of reproaches. humiliation or
strokes. The lie for him IS supreme

That we have missed and mourned so long
Now mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song.

Although with bowed and breaking heart
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseless dust to rest,

Amid temptations fierce and deep,

A DOG MOTTO.

When in New York recently, ex.
President Cleveland told about an
amusing reply made by an eccleasi-
tical friend of his to woman who
loved dogs. It so happened that what
the clergyman hated above all things
was dog, and whenever the animal
was mentioned was apt to forget his
usual elegance of speech and express
his opinion in no doubtful terms.
On visit to one of his congregs
ton he happened to meet on the lawn
a relative of the family living in big
house to which he was going. This
lady was fondling little poodle. After
she had greeted the minister of the
gospel, unconscious of his black looks
at the pet, she said:
Il was just trying to think of
motto for my dear little Spot. Lots
of my friends have notices for their
dogs and l want one for Spot-some-
thing real classic. Can't you sug-
gest something?"
