pieces of lace. tapestry squares for COW

bonnie Scotch maiden.
Another is making fine collection OF
table linen-napkins, mats, center
pieces and so on. Pretty bits Of china
and bric-a-brac go in the chest of an
other maiden.
Thus the girls are slowly collecting
pretty things, and saving them for use
in their homes. AS rule, their friends
know of the chests, and take pleasure
in helping to fill them, although some
of the girls like to feel that everything
was bought with their own money.

HEALTH is CONTAGIOUS.
There Is Too Much Study OF Disease
and Not Enough of Physical
Happiness.

A woman physician, in addressing her
audience the other day. gave some help
tul suggestions as to the way of looking
at our bodily conditions, says the Boston
Budget She said: Health is CON
tagious, much more potently so, too,
than is disease. I've about come to the
conclusion that we physicians study
disease too much and health too little
to be Of best use to humanity. Why,
during our student years. we have an
average of only one hour week devoted
to hygiene, and two, perhaps, to physi-
ology. All the rest of the time we're
studying-disease. Now believe that's
just the opposite of what we ought to
do. If we'd study health. talk health, act
health, I believe disease would take
care of itself. And it's much the same
thing with temperance If we, as
white ribboners, would make ourselves
as lovely and lovable. as sweet tenn
pered and usefully womanly as we pos
sibly could (and we can be none of these
things unless we have sound bodies), 1
believe nothing would so help the cause

have any ailment that commonsense will
obviate. And it shows lack of intel

it will be considered as i'll bred to ask

THE BEST BEAUTY DOCTOR
What a Mother Can Do to Make Her
Children Attractive in the
Highest Sense.

Every mother is the best beauty-doc-
tor to her own child. We have met
mothers who spent great deal Of time
identifying their children's garments,
to the detriment of what is real beau
tifying-the identifying of the soul
forgetting that the eyes are the win
dows of the SOUL" and beauty is as
beauty does.
1t is as natural for little child to
wish to be beautiful as it is for flow
er to turn to the sun. Watch your wee
daughter some time, when she is I'M
conscious Of your presence, before a
mirror. See how she turns this way
and that, smooths out crease, or pats
ribbon, all the while smiling at the
reflection, as she stands there, and
finally turning away with the smile
lingering in her eyes and at the cor
ners of her mouth-for she has learned
that smiling face is more beautiful
that one that frowns. And your boy /?
Have you ever watched him unobserved
as he adjusts his collar and tie before
the mirror? At first there are grimaces
reflected in the glass, for the little lad
finds it as difficult as does his father
at times to adjust the refractory collar
button. But when it is adjusted and
the collar and tie are in place, watch
your boy straighten and throw back
his head fearlessly, as though he felt it
fine thing to turn and face the world
with shoulders back and face erect
II want to be beautiful like mamma"
cried seven-year-old girl in our hear
ing.
"And what makes your mother beau
tiful-her fine clothes?" we asked, as
our eyes wandered to the. perfectly
gowned young mother in the next
room.
"Why, no. She looks just as nice in
her old dress as she does in her new
one. It's cause she's always SO kind
and sweet to everybody, and it shows
right in her face" was the answer.
The little maid had put the matter in
a nutshell. Teach your children that
beautiful thoughts and beautiful deeds
stand for the highest and best in the
art of real identifying, remembering
always that example is better than pre-
cept, and that children are apt imita-
tors.-Dew Drops.

Waste of Nerve Energy.

So many people needlessly and reck-

Medical Talk. They drum the chair or
the desk with their fingers or tap the
floor with their toes. They hold their
hands. They sit in a rocking chair and
rock for very dear life. If they go up
stairs they make the whole body do the
work that was intended only for the
legs. If they write or sew they get
down to it with vengeance and con-

German Emperor's Daughter, Princess

TX there were such things as mon

men of business. and If such disaster

the Princess Louise, would be perfectly

Such has been her training under her
careful mother, the German empress,
and her father. who once said that it
was more important for a woman to
know how to bake pancake than to
be able to discuss constitutional law.
The Princess Victoria Louise, as the
only daughter in a large family, has
been as much in danger of being petted
as If she were growing up in a large
