Al His Own Hearth.

A father owes 1t to his family to
keep pace with them in their amuse-
ments. not allowing himself to get
rusty or to have an entirely different
set of ideas and occupations. The
members of his family cannot enter
into his business or professional life:
when he leaves after breakfast he be-
comes mystery to them; but he can
on his return go to the theater, the
party or the concert and should try
to make himself part of them, says
the Pittsbnrg Dispatch. The sons.
and the daughters in their turn should
have every delicate attention. every
agreeable accomplishment, ready to
make home delightful to the father

Selfishness is darkness. 1t shuts

Nives. Unselfshness gives us wide
circle of interest and delight. What

-swith our happiness as what we get for
'~surselves Just think how many joys
"a man may have who is not confined
80 his own reasons for rejoicing! Re-
member how Jeanie Deans blessed the
good lady who helped her, saying:
When the hour of trouble comes
and seldom may it visit your leddyship
and when the day of death comes,
that comes to high and low-lang and
safe may it be yours. o my lady! then
1T isna what we, hae done for our
selves, but what we hae done for
sthers, that we think of most pleas
.iantly.'' And this truth is for all hours,
shough it be most clearly manifested
IN the hour of extremity. Doing the
most for Others is doing the best for
ourselves. If you have never made
another life bright, you know not how
much brightness can come into your

is inflicted. A child like this is GER
tainly Ill, and coercive training will
not improve the condition, but strictly

Wide Responsibility in China.

In China the whole family is held
responsible for the acts of any of its
members and for certain offenses.
such as an attempt on the life of the
emperor, all are executed, even to the
babe in arms. The tepaom, or dean
of the village, elected by universal
suffrage, is responsible for the CON

piceroy are all responsible in different

Cured Younsster of Smoking.

wise mother caught her little boy
smoking cigarette the other day In

and nearly spanking the life out of
him, she said: Johnny, dear, | see

Come away in and I'll give you one of

little later as she ministered to him

of receiving his vehement promise
that he would never, never smoke a

New Coal Mine Dancer.

A rather unexpected danger in coal
mines. as also in other places. has ap-
peared. In an English mine an or
dinary 100-volt 16-candle power lamp
proved to be capable of causing smoke
to rise within three minutes when i'm
bedded in coal dust, and Of producing
fame within twenty-five minutes
when laid on the top of coal dust. In
other experiments heat was generated
SO rapidly that when the lamp was
partly covered by coal dust. the bulb
exploded In four minutes at $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit. and at a certain
point combustion was begun in the
dust and continued after removal of
the lamp. Careless laying down of a
lamp might start fire quite unno-

PoIyslot Antaqonisms.

Nowhere else in the world Is there
so great confusion of languages. peo-
pies and religions as in the mountains
and steppes of Caucasia. Her deep.
closed valleys have taken toll of many
races In their migrations, and the
very inaccessibility of these noun
tain retreats has preserved types and
tongues which elsewhere have long
since become extinct, or has facili-
tated the development of new ones.
1t has been stated that the number
of distinct dialects spoken in the
Caucasus Is sixty-eight, and these rep
resent every stage of linguistic devel-
opment In these circumstances it
is not strange that the antagonisms
of Christian and Mohammedan. of Ar
menian and orthodox, should be in
tensified, and of all against a govern
ment bent on stamping out every race
of independence and distinctiyeness.-

Growth of FraternaI Societies.

In the broadcast sense the fraternal
societies of the United States have en-
joyed gains far exceeding the rate of
increase in the population of the coun-
try. This phase of American life
means much for the unity and har-
mony of the nation. The great frater-
nal societies know neither sectional
nor racial lines. They bring together
many elements OF the population, often
widely separated in other interests
and associations, in a spirit of coop
Grafton and mutual helpfulness. 1t is

careful of it as trust from God.

many are proud of their extravaganza.
Men and women run lightly into debt
and tempt others into it, In some Will
ages there is scarcely family which
Is not in debt; and to be in debt en-
courages dishonesty and lessons gen.
orally the sense of honor. Even ed
ucated men take or give bribes, and
call them commissions; others take
what Is not theirs, and call it per
quisite.' Again, the sin of betting and
gambling and generally of speculation
is one which particularly Affects the
young of our generation; and those
who give way to 1t are drawn on into
other sins, often without seeming to
lie able to help themselves. Like the
other evil passions of impurity and
intemperance, the reckless pursuit of
money ends very frequently in real
suicide-that is to say, intentional
selfmurder not caused by insanity.
