girls, that unless you try to make
some n else happy you are
truly happy yourself. A sweet-tem-
pered child is always loved by his
playmates.
If your mates do not love you. look
carefully, and try to ascertain what
is the matter. If you have been

friends you will have in a few weeks.
And then, again, is it you that is
allowing yourself to get into the ha-
bit of using harsh, discordant tones
of voice when pleasant, good-natured
ones would answer far better? Do
you know that you cannot use cross
words without becoming angry, and
you cannot retain anger and use a
low, pleasant voice. Tones mean more
than words to us. Words are the
language of the mind, but tones are
the language of the heart. Notice
your voice carefully, and get into the
habit of using gentle, soft, pleasant
and musical tones, and see how much
more pleasant companion you will
become. Indeed, you will make a
more suitable chum for yourself as
well as for your mates.-Ella Bart

A Cats Paper Boots.

Did you ever put paper boots on
your cat? That is what Dicks play
mates did to him. | was one of
them, and it was great fun even for
Dick himself. His feet were tied up
in smooth paper and then he was
set down on the floor. Then a spool
tied to a string was put before him.
Dick loved to play with spools, and
was quick to catch them. He liked
to play ball with them or make be-
lieve they we're mice to be tossed or
worried. But when Dick tried to
catch the spool with his paper boots
on it was a funny sight. His legs
went wherever they chose. They did
not care what he wanted at all. Each
foot went skating by itself, and left
poor Dick flat on the floor. He kick
ed, rolled over and over, and was the
most puzzled cat you ever saw. He
looked at that lively spool, winked
at it, snatched at it, but could never
catch it. He thought that it was
the queerest spool he had ever seen.
and that his feet we're the q~ueerest
things he had ever owned.-From
Helen Harcourt's "Stories of My
Pets" in August st. Nichols.

Those Two Terraces.

Two neighbors of ours have ad-
joining property. A high terrace
raises each piece of land above the
street, but while one gratifes the
passer's sense of beauty, the other is
unsightly and every rain or wind
storm sends the earth in crumbling
masses to the sidewalk. What makes
the difference? The owner of the we'll
kept terrace planted honeysuckles
over it years ago. The vines grew and
spread and the roots took firm hold
on the soil, giving it no chance to
crumble. Those who pass by wonder
that the owner of the other terrace
should not have shown equal wis
dom.
How often two boys of apparently
equal possibilities and advantages
produce as widely varying results as
those two terraces! One of them
simply takes the days as they come.
No conscientious, carefully thought
out principles are made to take root.
and he becomes the easy victim of
passing circumstances, as the neg
lected terrace is at the mercy of
every wind that blows. The other is
like the uncovered terrace. High
ideals and noble conceptions of life
and it's duties, have taken deep grip
on the character, that will lessen the
danger to him from days of. storm
and stress.-Selected.

Does This Mean You?

How often we hear these words !!
And we all know that the boy is never
a favorite who has such things said
about him. The Bible says, "Be not
wise in your own ~conceit." And have
you ever noticed that people, wheth-
er they are big or little, who are
especially wise in their own conceit
are seldom very wise in the conceit
of others?
It is very foolish for any boy or
girl to be a "smarty." Such a per-
son is overbearing and ~disagreeable.

HONIEMAKING.

Mans home, like man himself, has
been gradually evolved from the dust
of the ground to meet his ever-ln-
creasing needs. AS the body became
a nobler mansion for the lndWellng
of the soul so more worthy dwelling
places became necessary for the body
until now the earth is filled with pal
aces which bear no resemblance to
their ancestors the caves, the bush
shelter and the mud hut. The first
homes no doubt were hiding places
and necessary for the protection of
the family from natural enemies in
the strenuous struggle for existence. y
Caves were probably the first choice
because they sheltered from the
weather, concealed from enemies and
were easily defended These same
characteristics remain necessary TO
home, viz: shelter, privacy and pro-
lection from intruders. The cave
home, however, was probably only
temporary, which is most undesirable
in a real home, which to be perfect
should be permanent.
AS man came to respect the rights
of others, and personal conflicts grew
less frequent, the hiding place easily
became a resting place, where he could
enjoy in peace the happiness of love,
and feast on the plenty he had pro-
vided through labor, sport or war. The
cave was succeeded by the mud or
matched hut, then log cabin and
later the now familiar house with its
many notifications.
Home thus came to be the resting
place of love, the nesting place of the
heart, and the true spirit of home
making began to stir in the soul OF
humanity.
The "homing instinct" while univer-
sal, is peculiarly feminine The tigress
in her lair, the bear in her cave, the
fox in her den, the bird in her nest,
the woman in her house all represent
degrees of this making instinct.
But for the mother and child man
would ever have remained a rover;
and but for the child possibly woman
might have been content to have
roamed with him. But the little child
God has sent in their midst needed The
home and the home life and with true
devotion woman has raised the home
altar and consecrated her life to its
ministrations
So home-making. once an instinct,
has become a Fine Art. and woman

her rule more powerful and accept

most important, her character must be
pure ana true. Without underestimate
ing the responsibility and example Of
man IN the education of q family, the
woman in a household has more Cp-
portunites for moulding the character
of the young From the time of ali
infants birth the mother watches
over it and ministers to it. Her ex-
preston of face, her tone of voice, her
manner are initiated unconsclouSly by
the child and in addition to this in
fuence, she has her ideal of perfection,
and 1t is the work of her life to train
the child so that the desired goal may
be reached. Whatever she heartily
strives for she generally accompanies.
CoWley described the effect of early
training by comparing it to letters cut
in the bark of a tree, They grow and
widen With age" This is true of baG
influence and example, unfortunately,
as well as of good.
One of the greatest women in Ro-
man history devoted her life to the
training of her children, with SUCH
favorable results that she was distli
guished as "Cornelia, Mother of tn
Gracchi." On her death a statue was
erected to her memory bearing this in
scription. She presented her sons TO d
Campanian lady as her only jewels.

him, and in after years she was made
happy by the conversion of her gifted
son. There is no condition in life
where a woman cannot exert this in
huence. It is seen in the splendor of
public, as well as the quiet of private
life. Queen Victoria, of England, was
a wise mother and devoted wife i'm the
midst of her court with its temptations
to worldiness. Are you an ambitious
woman? Would you enjoy the APP
plause of an audience thrilled by elo-
quence? Train your boy to use his
gift of speech always and everywhere
in the cause of truth, which IS the es-
sence of all oratory. Would you re-
lieve suffering? Train your boy to
minister to humanity as the beloved
Luke. or the great Pinel, and aid him
as you may. Do you seek commerclal
wealth? Teach your boy to gain it by
honest labor, and admOnish him that
honor is not to be pulled off and on
like a garment, but IS a part of man,
alike in public and private transac-
tons. Whatever your station and oc-
cUpation in life may be, fulfill the des-
tiny of woman which is great one.
Light the fame on the hearth, make
a sanctuary of home, a warm nest
where the children may grow unto
men, where love may find privacy, oid
age repose, prayer an altar and the
fatherland a cult.
