His Prize.
Ito be c%ontinued.)

A Pittsburg widower, while away
from home on a business trip, met and
married a lady who, though famed for
her goodness of heart, would be spo-
ken Of even by her friends as plain"
The man believed that she would be
a kind mother to his two children,
however, and as she was also pos
sessed of a fair amount of this worlds
goods, was not inclined to expect the
beauty of the peach IL a potato.
After his marriage he telegraphed
to the eldest of his children, q girl Of
fifteen:
Have won a prize. Am married.
Will be home tomorrow"
When the bride AMI groom arrived,
the children were watching at the
door, and at sight of their future
mother, gave a little gasp Of conster-
nation.
The second child, a boy, nudged his
sister and whispered:

consolation prize that pa got!"-Har-

Dancer in POSTAGE Stamps.

"a number of ailments, some OF
them extremely dangerous, are COM
prised under the general head Of
postage-stamp tongue" said a physi-
clan. "Postage-stamp tongue, In a
word, is any disorder contracted from
the licking of postage stamps.
Three or four persons a week visit
me with postage-stamp tongues. They
have a throat trouble or a skin dis
ease or a pulmonary complaint
brought on by the reckless habit of
stamp licking.
"a stamp should be licked,
as its gummed surface is always
squirming and pulsating with germs.
If any licking Is to be done let 1t be
applied to the right-hand upper corner
of the envelope, where the stamp goes,
for there the germs are apt to be
sparser.
ITO be safe, though, the tongue
should w be applied to either en-
velope or stamp. a damp sponge
should be used in the tongues stead"

germs that thrive in kisses.

we implored.
Cupid removed the cover from a

These are the most harmless. They
are found in the kisses Of schoolgirls

"And now the most dangerous

Cautiously Cupid unscrewed the
cover of a steel protected jar.

CHAPTER xxlli.-Continued.
AS he finally passed beyond the en-
emy's pickets and felt safe, his
thoughts began to turn once more
towards Lyndhurst.
He wondered whether the old 6arky
with his snail-moving mule could have
arrived and delivered the note Major
Worden had SO kindly written con,
corning his fate.
II so, how would she receive 1t?
Colonel John wanted to be magnan-
imous. but he was deeply interested
here, and he never in his life wished
so much for anything as a chance to
witness what occurred when that note
was delivered.
1t would possibly settle some little
matters in his mind, which were be.
ginning to worry him.
And thinking thus, he reached the
gate that opened into the spacious
grounds of Lyndhurst.
Then the house doomed up.
Lights could still be seen about the
house, though the hour was close on
to midnight.
He wondered at this, for they re-
tired early as a usual thing.
Upon entering the house John felt
a deep satisfaction over his escape.
Somehow he seemed to associate it
with Mollie-why not, when she was
the prime cause of his adventure?
He advanced to the library; a voice
fell upon his ears, a voice that vas
peculiar, and which he knew belonged
to the odd genius of a darby who had
driven the mule by means of which
Worden conducted his prisoner of war
to the shell-wrecked house.
The special courier had arrived
ahead of him.
Colonel John halted just beyond the
door. A mirror in the hall reflected
the interior of the library, and he
could see that Mollie was alone with

Buege said in "Helen's Babies"
Some husbands and wives take
vicious pleasure in exposing the
others poor English or showing off
their lack of general knowledge. It
is bad habit to indulge in sharp
shooting in the presence of children.

say, eff her cooking was so good,

better hire French cook or do it
yourself" Children prick up their
ears and learn to be saucy and talk

more we are amazed. There Is SO
much unhappiness. Wives nag their
husbands to distraction Husbands
are Indifferent and impose on their
wives. They do not try to have
pleasant life, to bend, to blend and
conclliate. They do not try to bring
comfort and happiness into their
homes. Let us all do the good we
can, for life is f1eeting. People are
SO easily helped and made glad, and

IS LIFE WORTH LIVING :?

Is life worth living? you ask.
Yes, we answer, if you have learned
how to live it.
10 the coward who shirks from
duty, the weak who covers before
temptation, the doubter who will not
wear the shield of faith, the despair
ing who cries out against hope, the
hypocrite who calls truth mockary,
to all these life is not worth living.
But to him who has learned the true
secrets of life, it's very trials are
sweetened ana he accounts it bless
ing, for he has learned to live for God
and his fellowmen; he has learned
how to make every hour worthy
record; he has learned how.
''Some humble work, some deed Of
high emprlse,
Like rich mans Offering, or widows 8
mite,
Made by pure motive equal in his
sight. -
These make our life worth living
however hard the burdens we have to
bear, however deep the sorrows that
cut into our souls; These make life
blessing. To live, to do, to work
for others; to spend and be spent for
them; thesaare the things that make
lives beautiful, however lowly and
obscure and hidden from the world and
make of death the door that holds the
Key of Immortality.

THE OLD AND NEW.

1906 and with outstretched arms we
greeted 1906 AS we lift, the veil
that drapes the sacred past and look
backward over the scenes and in
cidents that have occupied our time
and thoughts. we can but wonder
what this glad new year will bring to
us. There are few homes where 1906
did not bring it's changes vacant
chairs-reminders of absent ones;
perhaps some loved inmate has
stepped over the threshold and has
gone to bless and brighten the home
OF one who has sworn to love and
protect her; others have answered the
summons that robs us of our dearest
and best and the music of the fireside
has gone out with the birds, and as
these bereaved ones sit in the shadow
and hear the ..'Happy New Year
they Can but wonder how any one can,
eveL for a day, forget these blights of
time. Yet life has its sunny side,
and to many the future is radiant
with promise and when the roll was
called on New Years morning all ths
home brood answered, present -
Plenty crowned the board and made
the new year dawn in brightness
But tossed on the wave of advers,t
and looking in vain for anchoIag,
was the lot of many in our fair land
at the dawning of the new year. May
the happy side of life be turned to
each reader of the Home Circle,'
they step over the threshold Of this
new and untried year and may they
grasp its responsibilities with Spartsl
courage A happy New Year to all

lives are spent IN devotion to the in
terests of home May your joys be -
