Bidding Mother Good Night.

4 gentleman who tells the following
beautiful story was once spending the
night in an elegant home in lar-e
city. when, about 8 O'clock, his host, a
man in middle life, arose from lis chair,
went into the hall and put on his over
coat and rubbers. Returning to the par
lor door, he said
Excuse me. please, for just a few
minutes | am going to say good nigh
to my mother.
His mother lived three blocks distant.
and for thirty years her son had never
failed to go and bid her good night, if
he were in the city.
NO matter what the weather NAV be.
no matter who his guests are. my hus-
band never fails to run over to his moth
er's home and bid her good night" said
the gentleman's wife when he was gone.
Neither he nor she could sleep if this
duty had been neglected. When his
business compels him to be away from
the city he writes to her every day. if
only a single line.
Her mental powers are beginning to
fail. and she fOrgets many things. so
that her mind is blank on some points

Physical Exercise.

Most persons think that because they
cannot spend great deal of time in
physical culture it is useless to attempt
anything of the sort. when if they would
follow few simple rules of exercise
they would find themselves much less
tired at the end of busy days.
There are two physical exercises which
should never be dispensed with by the
woman who wishes to keep in good
health and retain a freshness of face
and grace OF figure. Deep breathing is
the first and more necessary of these.

would practice the habit Of going to

is of course, out of the question with
