The Glad Heart.

II you want to do work easily, get
gay, glad heart. You know how
hard it is to do anything. how the les
sons drag, how the tasks seen to pile
up, when you feel little sad or un.
happy. On the contrary, any of us
can remember times when the work in
hand fairly flew, because our hearts
were SO glad about something that the
fingers had to keep time to their JOY.
GUS beating.
But my thought to-day Is as to the
excellence of the work done, rather
than the ease or rapidlty of the per.
formance. Good work is almost al.
ways joyous. Heart sunshine gets
into the painters colors and brightens
all the dull. dead pigments. BY and
by people get to talking about it. The
canvas glows and throbs with the life

love and happiness. rather. The
painter has told nobody, but they
found it out, those careless onlookers,
They knew his heart was gay as ne
painted in that trudging berry picker,
those sheep and cattle feeding In the
meadows. Might he not have paint,
ed the same thing in a trouble-illed
house. with new griefs knocking at
the door? No, not the same thing.
Something must have been lost out,
some sad thing have crept in. Our
mood gets into everything, whether il
is shutting door or making a picture
or poem.
So, then, for the sake of the gooa
that we can do let us shut the door
on the whole sulking, frowning crew
| of ugly feelings, and call in the good
little brownies of gladness and good
will. We shall wake to find that hap.

GOOD HuMoR AT MEALS.

Enjoyment.

Enjoyment.
Many people must have been struck
by the utter absence of interesting
conversation that is so marked fea-
ture of modern meals In the olden
days all the wit and brightness of the
day seemed to be focused in to the
breakfast and dinner hours. and near
ly all the celebrated stories of bril-
liant repartee that have come down
TO us were delivered during a meal.
But nowadays people talk over their
worries and bothers at the table, look
out trains and read papers during
breakfast, and if they have got any
thing disagreeable to say to another
member of the family, very often
choose a mealtime in which to say it,
Somebody once suggested that chill
dren should be trained to be bright
and cheerful during meals, .i!st as
much as they are trained to eat prop
erly, for the one habit, like the other
would cling to them when they grow
up, and make them much-sought-after
companions.
Worry is very bad for the digestion
and so is another fashion of seeing
how fast you can get through your
breakfast or lunch; certainly both
things react upon ones neighbor's en-
joyment of the hours that should
bring relaxation and good humor.

Serving Drinks at chiIdrsn's PartIe,


Now that winter is here and the
dime Of children's parties is at hand,
word Of warning may not come
amiss, says writer in the Montreal
Herald.
There Is growing up a custom among
people who entertain, Of serving alco-
holic drinks to children.
To my certain knowledge last year
there was one house where cham
pagne cup was served to the young
people, none of whom could have been
more than sixteen or seventeen. and
by far the greater number much
younger, and there were several occa-
sions where claret cup was served. In
fact, at most childrens parties of a
smart genre" claret cup is served as
a matter Of course. To great many
persons such folly and wickedness
may seem incredible, but assure
them 1t Is so.
One little tot of seven came home
and told her mother that they had a
big bowl of red stun wild lemons and

cause 1t made my head so funny"
II once came to my ears with a
throb OF horror. that a woman used to
give her children beer and encourage
them to drink 1t until they could not
stand up and the consequent proceed
ings were looked upon as highly
divertlng, but she was a debased,
drunken, ignorant woman, scarcely
responsible for her actions.
But to think that any educated, in
telligent, Christian woman could serve
intoxicating drinks to mere babies
passes belief They may make a
futile excuse by saying that the vari-
GUS cups are practically non-alco-
holic. This is an absurdity. for men
have often been known to get exceed
ingly intoxicated on these mixed
drinks, and OF course it takes a
much smaller amount Of alcohol to af.
feet the brain OF a child. The very
smallest quantity may SOW the seeds
of lifelong misery and unhappiness
and. perchance. crime Let these
thoughtless women take heed what
they are doing; let them take to heart

ever shall cause one OF these little
ones to stumble 1t were better for
him that a milestone were hanged
about his neck. and that he were
drowned in the depth OF the sea"
with regard to the serving Of drinks
TO children, Life has the following
pointed paragraph on the subject;
Used as she was to the ways Of high
life. the woman was disturbed and
her heart misgave her when her little
daughter came home drunk from the
children's party.
Girls are certainly precocious. she
sighed Il was never under the influ-
cnce Of liquor before came out. and
was sixteen before I had so much
as tasted a cocktail or any but the
plainest drinks"
Next day she spoke to her husband
OF her fears. He looked severe and
reminded her that he was busy amass-
ing a fortune for his child and could
not be troubled with her morals.
