keenlna Youthful Things.

A busy woman once said that she
never knew how much she could &C.
complish until she became the com
panion OF her young sons, sharing
their sports and limiting her own
working hours to theirs. To-day they
are young men and she looks like
their sister. There are other young
mothers Of grown men and they are
rather formidable rivals to younger
women. The sons unconsciously make
comparisons. generally in favor OF
mother 1t is beautiful to grow up
in this fashion with ones children,
says a writer: 10 keep pace with
them In new studies and new thoughts,
something like a second youth. We
are so quick to put away youthful
things unless we have some such In
centiye TO hold them.

SECRET OF GOOD MANNERS.
Two Theories Of the Requirement
unselfishness and ConVentionaltty.

Most mothers hold. consciously or
unconsciously. one of two theories
about the requirement Of manners by
their children. One mother says,
Manners are only the outward sign
OF the inner nature, II my daughter
has n kind heart and a well trained
mind she will behave In a gentle.
charming fashion. / will teach her
compassion, respect for age, unseltish
zeal for helping with the worlds
work. Her manners will take care OF
themselves" Another mother says,
my girls will never get on without
conventional manners. They shall be
taught from babyhood TO emulate the
speech and bearing Of ladies. They
shall be instructed in the proper be-
havior for every occasion. They shall
walk and dance and write and speak
with graceful perfection" Neither
method. says the Youths Companion,
produces altogether satisfactory re-
suits. Unselfshness Is truly the
foundation OF good manners, but not
the superstructure. Many convention
al restrictions have grown about So
cial relations. Some can be explained
by the demand of kindness and some
cannot.

TEMPLES OF SOUTH AFRICA.

The temple ruins at Rhodesla are

Ages He says the great "elllptical
temple" was the fortified residence Of
the great chief or Monomortapa,
whose sway extended over an enor-
nous area and an extensive popula-
ton To understand how architectural
feats like the finer Rhodesian build
ings can have been achieved by the
precursors OF the modern South Afri-
can natives It Is necessary to assume
that In those days there was organi-
cation of far higher character than
has obtained in recent years, organi-
cation under great chiefs whose pow
er and intelligence were of a relative
~ high order. From the Portuguese
and their records this would appear
to have been the case In the days OF
the Monomortapan empire OF the Mid
die Ages down to the close Of the six.

an Increase OF S4s0.O00,000 over 1905.
Within a decade the increase has
been considerably over 100 per cent.
