Cultivated homeIiness.

Here are some of the deformities
which careless women cultivate:
Hollow cheeks-induced by nerv-
BUSINESS.
Goggles-induced by straining the
eyes.
Stubby tingers-induced by biting
the nails.
Bent toes induced by wearing
short shoes.
Pimples-induced by tight lacing
and overeating.
Creases between the eyebrows-in
duced by bad temper.
Freckles and tan-induced by going
hatless in the hot sun.
Dull eyes with hanging lids-in-
duced by apathy and Indifference.
Round shouders-induced by wrong
sitting and wrong reclining and fail
ure to take exercise.

Hawthorne and the Stranded Lad.
A good story is told of the way in
which Nathaniel Hawthorne, when he
was consul at Liverpool, testel a
Yankee boy. The boy had gone to the
consuls Office one day to beg for a
passage back to his home. He had
gone abroad to seek his fortune, and
not finding it, had become almost pen
niless. He told a. clear story, but the
clerk who heard it doubted it's truth.
"You are not an American" he said
to the boy; but the applicant for the
passage to America persisted in wait
ing at the Office until he saw Haw-
thorne himself. At last the consul
appeared, gave quick glance at the
boy and began to question him:
"You want passage to Americt?"
he asked.
Eyes, sir" said the boy eagerly.
"And you say you are an Ameri-
CAM"
Eyes, SIR"
I'm what part of America were you
born?"
I'm the United States, SIR"
What state?"
New Hampshire, sir"
What town."

Hawthorne waited moment, and
then bent toward the boy.

town." he asked.
The boys eyes shone and the home
sick longing In them deepened.
"'Skim Milk Folsom, sir!" he cried.
TITS all right" said Hawthorne to
the clerk. "Give him his passage"
And he took the boys hand and badl.

For Somebody Else.

A young girl, far away from home
and mother, was taken seriously i'll.
The illness proved to be typhoid fever,
and, with the pain and suffering and
the thought of the long illness before
her, she was well-nigh distracted.
What should she do? Where should
she 60 for the care that her helpless
ness required?
She could not bear the thought of
being burden to the old lady, total
stranger to her, with whom she was
boarding, but the old lady did not
consider her burden, and, with low
ing voice, soothed all her anxieties.
and with gentle hands ministered to
her needs.

Idle Women and Divorce.

The following observations by Judge
Thomas A. Graham, of the superior
court of California, may well be pom
dered by those now attempting to
solve one of the states greatest prob
lems-the divorce evil:
Half of the cases that arise would
cause establishment to the believer in
the theory that education and refine
ment bring a high class of moral in
telligence. The vast major
ity of cases are among those whose
wives have not the cares of house
hold to occupy and delight their lives,
but find the mischief that lies at the
hand of an idle woman"

Loving Words.

Loving words will cost but little,
Journeying up the hill of life;
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, braver for the strife.
Do you count them only trifes?
What to earth are sun and rain?
Never was kind word wasted,
Never was one said in vain.
When the cares of life are many,
And its burdens heavy grow,
Think of weak ones close beside you:
If you love them, tell them so.
What you count of little value
Has an almost magic power,
And beneath their cheering sunshine
Hearts will blossom like flower.
So, as up life's hill we journey,
Let us scatter all the way
Kindly words, for they are sunshine
In the dark and cloudy day.
Grudge no loving word or action
AS along through life you go,
There are weary ones around you
If you love them, tell them so.
