British subjects at time OF great suf-
fering and distress"
Secretary Bacon assured Mr.. How

officials Of the state department are
much gratified to receive these mes

Sensitive People,

There are people-yes, many people
always looking out for Sights. They
cannot carry on the daily intercourse
of the family without finding that
some offense is designed. They are as
touchy as hair-triggers. If they meet
an acquaintance who happens to be
preoccupied with business, they at
tribute his distraction in some mode
personal to themselves, and take UNI
bragg accordingly. They lay on others
the fruit of their irritability. Indiges-
ton makes them see impertinence in
every one they come in contact with.
Innocent persons, who never dreamed
of giving offense, are astonished to find
some unfortunate word or momentary
taciturnity mistaken for an insult. To
say the least, the habit is unfortunate.
1t is far wiser to take the more char
liable view of our fellow beings, and
not suppose that a slight is intended
unless the neglect is open and direct
After all, too, life takes its hues in a
great degree from the color of our own
mind. If we are frank and generous,
the world will treat us kindly; if, on
the contrary, we are suspicious, men
learn to be cold and cautious to us. Let
a person get the reputation of being
"touchy," and everybody is under re-
straint, and in this way the chances of
an imaginary Qffense are vastly in
creased.

Roosevelt TaIks to Mothers.

Some words of President Roosevelt,
recently addressed to mothers. on
whom the welfare of succeeding. gener-
ations so largely depends, merit the
most attentive consideration. They are
plain words, remarkable only for the
amount of good sense contained in
them:
In bringing up your children. you
mothers must remember that while it
is essential to be loving and tender. it
is no less essential to be wise and firm.
Foolishness and affection must not be
treated as interchangeable terms; and,
besides training your sons and daugh-
tiers in the softer and milder virtues,
you must seek to give them those
stern and hardy qualities which in aft
er life they will surely need. Some
children will go wrong in spite of the
best training: and some will go right
even when their surroundings are most
unfortunate; nevertheless, an immense
amount depends upon family training
If you mother through weakness bring
up your sons to be selfish and to think
of themselves, you will be responsible
for much sadness among the women
who are to be their wives in the fu-
ture. If you let your daughters grow
up idle, perhaps under the mistaken
impression InaI as you yourselves
have had to work hard, they shall
know only enjoyment, you are prepar-
ing them to be useless to others and a
burden to themselves. Teach boys and
girls alike that they are not to look
forward to lives spent in avoiding diff
ficulties. but to lives spent in overcom-
ing difficulties. Teach them that work,
for themselves and also for others, is
not curse but a blessing; seek to
make them happy, to make them enjoy
life, but seek also to make them face
life with the steadfast resolution to
wrest success from labor and ADVERSE
ty, and to do their whole duty before
God and to man. Surely she who can
thus train her sons and her daughters
is thrice fortunate among women.
If, instead of discussing the theories
of higher critics, or preaching sermons
of intolerable length and aridity on sec
ular subjects, ministers of the gospel
were to talk to their people in this way.
we venture to say there would be less
of listless audiences or emp
ty pews.-Ave Maria.

Don't Worry.

Everywhere, in the social, business
and medical world, we are admonished
with the precept, don't worry" Wor-
ry hurts the brain, and with weakened
intellect there can be little progress
and / dare say if one has strength of
will enough, one can have the interest
Of things quite as much at heart, with
out worrying over them. Yet there
are women, and their number is legion,
who believe that without worry and
a general fussing up, there can be no
advancement. why" said a woman
lately. IF folks did not bother about
things, where would the progress come
in? Too much contentment is curse,
and these easy-going mortals who new
er take heed for the future, constitute
the poor relations and fill the aims
houses" There is, to be sure, a good
deal- of truth in this statement. but
there is, too, always a happy medium.
1t is one thing to be provident and an
other to make oneself and everybody
else miserable, because of ones care
fitness. If progress can only be bought
with weary brains and miserable days
and nights, it is too expensive a condi-
ton to consider, it seems to me. 1t is
the people who can lightly throw off
their responsibility. and take up their
work determined to succeed, at the
same time accepting failure philosoph-
icaIly, who accomplish the most lasting
good. So be as progressive as you like
and as determined as possible. but
whatever you do, if you are at all SEN
sible don't worry" for it has never
vet added an inch to ones height or a
dollar to ones bank account, and is
altogether too disastrous proceeding
for healthy folks to indulge in.

The Value of Smiling.

Here is what a woman has to say of
the value of smiling.
Smiles are the language of love, p"
the poet has said. Perhaps, however,
II would be more correct to say that
Love is the reward of beautiful
smiles; for what attracts and wins
the confidence of man, woman or child
more than genuine smile, which re-
fleets sunshine in the heart? There are
smiles, however, which neither win
love nor in any way enhance the beau
ty of face. In fact, they more often
than not detract from a girls comeli-
ness. One of these is the smile which
has no meaning or expression in it 1t
is what might be termed the polite or
courteous" smile, demanded by circum-
stances. One readily sees through a
smile, for it plainly. says: Il suppose l
must be polite and appear interested,
but l am awfully bored"
What a difference to the sunny smile
Of welcome, which lights up the whole
face and makes one feel that your COM
ing is a real pleasure which has been
looked forward to-
The plain-featured girl, with hap
by, genuine smile, is far more attrac-
tive and fascinating than the doll-faced
girl, on whose pretty face is never re-
Elected a happy spirit and pleasing dis
position. Real beauty is something
deeper than color and regularity of fea-
lures. One often meets with COMPARE
lively plain women whose genuine
heart-warm smiles and sweetly modu-
lated voices become perfectly beautiful
to people who understand them, and
even more so to those who live with
and love them.

on St Vitus' dance. Some girls raise
their eyebrows with every glance, and
smile SO constantly that one feeels the
tired muscles must need a rest. These
girls at 80 will be as wrinkled as if at
least ten more years had passed over
their heads.
Learn repose. Try to make your face
a restful one. Such faces are very few
and far between, and possess a beauty
of their own.
Every movement of the brows,
whether upward or frowning, mars the
forehead. The former produces hori-
zontal, and the latter vertical lines
that, under favorable conditions,
would not arrive before the sixtieth
year.
A simple way to break oneself of
this habit is to place two pieces of
courtplaster on the forehead, one going
up and down, the other across between
the brows. Wear these whenever it is
possible and thus cure very unattrac-
tive habit.
The mouth is even more abused
than the eyes. Pouting, drawing down
the corners in a would be-martyr-lik
manner, a sarcastic curl of the upper
lip, in fact, any motion that changes
its natural form, except laughing, is
fatal TO its beauty.
Laugh all you please, for it raises the
corners and helps to produce the much
desired 'Cupid's bow"

shun the Habit Of Putting Off.

Begin right, and right away" is a
motto which would have saved many a
youth from disaster. Nothing is more
delusive than delay. 1 have known
more people come to grief through pro-
crastination, incidence and dillydally-
ing, than from almost anything else.
There is nothing else quite so destruc-
tive to the energy which does things,
or which so paralyzes the executive
faculties as a habit of dawdling
The only possible corrective of it is
TO determine stoutly to begin on the in
slant the task before you. Every mo-
ment's delay makes it harder and hard
er to start. 1t is the beginning which
is difficult. If dawdlers could only
once be set in motion, many of them
would run awhile. but they lack the
power of initiative
Shun the fatal habit of putting off,
as you would temptation to crime
The moment you feel a temptation to
dawdle come upon you, jump up and
then go with all your might at the
most difficult thing you have to do.
Never begin with the easiest thing:
take the hardest and then hang on per-
Sistently until you have overcome the
habit. Fear representation as YOU
would a dangerous enemy. It is more
than thief of time, it steals charac-
ter, ruins opportunity. robs you of free
dom and makes a slave of you.
How can one expect to succeed when
his tomorrows are always mortgaged
for the debt that should have been
paid today? The ready boy, the one
who is always on the alert. for the next
thing, who is always prepared to do
the thing required of him. and to do il
at once, is the one who wins. A habit
of promptness is the most valuable one
TO form. 1t unifies and strengthens the
faculties and makes one methodical.

Only a Word.

Are we half aware of their mighty
powers?
Do we ever trouble our heads at all
Where the jest may strike or the hint
may fall?
The latest chirp of the little bird"
That spicy story you may have heard
We jerk them away in our gossip rash
And somebody's glass, of course, goes
smash!

broken:
What pestilent sinks have been stir

BY word in lightness spoken,
By only an idle word.
A sheer. shrug, a whisper low
They are poison shafts from an am
pushed blow.
Shot by the coward, the fool, the
knave;
They pierce the mail of the great and
brave.
Vain is the buckler of wisdom and
pride
To turn the pitiless point aside.
The lip may curl with careless smile,
But the heart drips blood-drips blood
the while.

What rivers of blood have been

BY a word in malice spoken
By only a bitter word.
A kindly word and a tender tone
Only to God is their virtue known.
They can lift from the dust the
abject head;
They can turn foe to a friend in
stead.
The heart, close barred by passion and
pride,
Will fling their knocks its portals wide;
And the hate that blights and the scorn
that sears
Will melt in a fountain of childlike
tears.
What icebound griefs have brokenl
What penitent throbs have been
stirred!
BY a word of kindness spoken
By only a gentle word

Rest

If all the skies were sunshine
Our faces would be fain
To feel once more upon them
The cooling splash of rain.
If all the world were music
Our hearts would often long
For one sweet strain of silence
To break the endless song.
If life We're always merry
Our souls would seek relief
And rest from weary laughter
In the quiet arms of grief.
