grabbed nature, from whom the children
shrink. and who takes no interest in their
sOfall persons, The wife and mother should
be cheerful. The happiness of the father and
the children depend largely upon her. The
husband often needs her encouragement. 1t
he findher lowspirited and melancholy when
he returns from the worries and trials of bust
ness affairs it has a depressing effect upon him.
IL believe from what have seen of life that
there are more self-sacrficing, cheerful, duty
loving ard duty performing women in the
world than men, and feel further, that the
cheerfulness and endurance and sef-sacrifice
of the wife, in many cases, is not properly APP
preciated by the husband Therefore, as said
in the beginning, in this life there must be
giving and taking, as it were. There must be
oneness of purpose in all that goes to make up
home life andthe training of children.
There is often much selfshness in husbands
and in men in general. They like to have
their pleasures, but they do not think that
their wives and children should indulge in
| pastimes and have occasional days off. When
ever see man at gathering like this, or at.
tending church and Sunday school, accompan-
led by his wife and his children, know that
mans heart ia in the right place, and that he
is made of the right stuff

| LIST. On and touching Friday the LIST, no reader
need be surprised to see or hear of crisis in the
| elements-rain, wind and thunder, with equi-
! noctial tempests In the south coast regions very
probable. The disturbances at this time will, in
| all probability, be prolonged In cloudy, threat
ening, and possibly stormy weather, up to and
through the Sd, 4th and 9Th. These are reaction
airy storm days and they will bring return of
| disturbed and stormy conditions, even if high
| barometer and fair weather should Immediately
| precede them. Change to rising barometer,
| touch most parts about the 9Th to 7th.
1.-THE regular Vulcan storm period, central on
the 9th, will be felt as early as the 7th or 8th in
| falling barometer, change to warmer and grow
| ing cloudiness in western sections. AS these
conditions increase and advance eastward over
the country storms of wind, rain and thunder
will visit most localities about Saturday the 9th,
| to Monday the 18th.
| 3"There is always much tendency to prolonged
| disturbances during the immediate presence of
| full or new moon fall near the ending of storm
| periods. These phases of the moon in Septem-
| Der, the equinoctial month, always find moon on
or near the celestial equator. Hence we find
| full moon on the 18th and moon on the equator
on the 14th. The 18th to 18th are also reaction
| airy storm days. We may therefore look for de-
| cided storm conditions to continue over these
! dates. One of the most probable earthquake

I storms at this time. Frost in many localities,
| especially northward, between the 18th and 10Th,
may reasonably be expected.
1.-THE next regular storm period Is central on
the 2lst this being also the central day of earths
autumnal equinox. This period will express it
