worth Thinking About.

A loving heart will make a thought
full head.
The most Improbable thing to hold
in this world is a grudge.
What we get from the world depends
upon what We give to 1t.
Success is utter failure if achieved
by the sacrifice of moral principle.
He who wishes to be happier than
others must first consider others.
To be coed ta,',er one must first
learn how to he good listener.
Good companionship does not depend
upon accident, but upon selection.
Let your means overrun your wants
not your wants everrun your means.
Every duty which is hidden to wait
returns with seven fresh duties at its
back.
It's more useful not to know things
and make people think you do. than to
know them and lot have anybody be-
lieve ii.

Desirable Habits.

Be orderly. A disorderly, careless
womaa will never have a comfortable
home.
Be punctual. Some girls ana some
women, too are never at the beginning
of anything; little late at breakfast, a
little late at church, little late every
where.
Be cheerful. A bright. smiling face
makes every one happy and sullen.
fretful expression is just as likely to
make others cross. Even when IL rains
out of doors there might just as well
be sunshine within.

There is absolutely nothing more pro-
voking or disheartening than for a
dainty linen frock that has cost time
and money to shrink badly the very
first time it is washed. The following
method is said to make linen unshrink-
able, and is certainly worth trying: FIJI

clear cold water; then, without unfold
ing the linen, wrap it in q clean towel
and leave 1t in the tub over night. Take
1t out in the morning and hang it up
without wringing out the water. 1t will
take some time to dry, but the linen
will be thoroughly shrunken and the
material need not be pressed until after
the garment is made.

The ,darriaee Knof.

A good deal is heard of the marriage
knot" but very few of us realize that
the knot was ever anything more than
figure of speech. Among the Baby
lonians tying the knot was part Of the
marriage ceremony, says Home Chat.
The priest took thread from the gar
ment of the bride and another from
that of the bridegroom and tied them
into knot, which he gave to the bride,
thus symboIizing the binding nature of
the union which now existed between
herself and her husband.

Table Manners.

Parents even in humble cottage
home. should pay attention to the con-
duct and manners of their children at
meal times. They cannot tell what po-
sition they will fill In after life, and
man or woman who is ignorant of the
most simple laws of table etiquette is
terribly handicapped. Were the parents
to reprove the child who conveys its
food to its mouth with Z knife, who
drinks its tea from the saucer, or who
sticks its elbows out at right angles, the
lesson so taught would never be for
gotten. There Is a certain amount of
freedom at the family table, where one
scarcely expects to find the ceremonious
department of set dinner party; but
even in the home there are minor rules
and observances which should always
be followed. The boy or girl on whose
mind they are impressed at an early
age will never lose them; and when,
after years of struggles it may be. the
manners that make the man" will be
their chief passport into the circle OF
their new acquaintances.

The Destiny of Woman.

The first requirement in the ideal of
a woman is that she shall be salts
fed woman, and that she does not at
all wish to be anything but woman.
The creed of pessimism and despair is.
at were better not to be-" yet l would
give no more for, ~ would greatly have
preferred to be something else!'
Woman should not be satisfied to
accept herself at this valuation. though
that. doubtless. Is better than TO revolt
against her fate; but she should ap-
praise herself. feel the high dignity OF
her position, recognize the advantages
of life under the special form in which
she receives it. and which, in nobility
is equal to that bestowed upon man. In
word, woman should have the courage
and pride of her sex.
We often meet young ladies who
would like to be boys. In speaking
among themselves of certain others OF
their set they say: There Is a cir
who ought to have been boy she is q
boy LOST" There is no harm in this
inasmuch rs it Is no more than joke
and a fashion of speaking. 1t amounts
to saying that certain young girls have
aptitudes which ordinarily are charac
teristic of young boys. But these havs
never prevented woman from being
truly and gracefully womanly.
What VIC wish to indicate and stig
Matte here is silly scorn Of that which
we already possess; refusal to put Il
into operation, to employ it, and the
dangerous Illusion which lies in think
ing that we should have done greater
work in this world If God had wished
to make us something other than thai
which he bas desired.-Pastor Wagner
in Harper's Bazaar.

CHAPTER -tCOntinue1.)
Rufus Dawes, overpowered by the rev.
elation so suddenly made to him, had
remained for few moments motionless
in his CELL expecting to hear the heavy
clang of tn. outer door, which should
announce to him the departure of the
chaplain. But he did not hear it, and
1t seemed to him that the air in the
cell had grown suddenly cooler. he
went to the door and looked into the
narrow corridor, expecting to see the
seowling countenance of Gimblett. To
his astonishment the door of the prison
was wide open, and not soul in sight.
He looked around. The night was tall
ing sullenly; the wind was mounting;
from beyond the bar came the hoarse
murmur of an angry sea. If the school,

get out into deep waters. Where was
the chaplain? Pray heaven the delay
had been sufficient, and they had sailed
without him. Yet they would be sure
to meet He advanced few steps
nearer, and looked about him. Was it
possible that, in his madness, the chap

violence which had drawn the trusty
Gimblett from his post? The trusty
