than any other organization and the
influence of it is stamped into the
texture of the child. The ideas Of the
parents are always right to the child
The home is the place of deepest
shade and brightest sunlight. "Home
and mother' have more potency than
any other words.
There can be no force and influence
such as that welded by mother.
The home should be the center of at
traction and there are too many out
side evils and attractions. The boy
who is defrauded of the rights of
the home soon 'goes to the bad The
man who will not be bothered by the

When Japenese Maids are lifted.

n Japencse woman when abandoned
by her lover takes a peculiar and pic
tlresqu9 revenge
When she no longer has any doubt as
to his faithlessness, she gets up i'm the
middle Of the night snd puts on
pleasing dress and wooden sandals.
Attached to her headdress she carries
three lighted candles, and suspan ndcd to
her neck hangs small mirror.
She taxes in her left hand small
straw etligy OF the fsithlcss one, and in
her right hand hammer and nails.
Walking gravely to the sanctuary,
she selects one of the sacred trees and
nails the etfigy securely to the trunk
She then praJs for the death of the
traitor, vOwing that if her wish were
granted she Will take out the nails
which trouble her god, since they are
fastened to a sacred tree, Night after
night she comes to the tree, adding
one or two bails, and repeating her
prayers, persuaded that the god will
not hesitate TO sacrifice the man 10
save the tree.-LondOn Mail.
