Parents Duty to Children.

An editorial in the "Youth's Com
panion" says that parents and teach
ers must work together if the chill
dren are to do we'll The teachers
may do their best when the children
are in school, but health and character
are immensely dependent on conditions
in the home. Sleeping and eating are
far more determining factors in the
life of the boy than studying. A boy
over fed or a girl under fed can no
more respond to the call of an inspir-
ing teacher than an engine can move
when it's fire box is choked with Gin
ders or empty of coal. Bad air in the
sleeping room can vitiate the moral
teaching of the schools. Tight cloth
ing may strangle in girl talent for
music or love Of poetry Modern
science must serve us in the home as
in the school.

Henrv's Task.

"Henry, DEAR" said Mrs. Newbride
to her husband the other morning, "I
wish, if it won't be too much trouble
dear, that you'd bring me home yard
of orange ribbon this evening"
IT don't want it so very wide or SO
very narrow; something between an
inch and an inch and half, or at most
an inch and three-quarters, will bc
about right
"Be sure and get a pretty shade of
orange, dear; and I'd prefer it with on
side satin and the other grain, al
though all satin or all gros-grain will
do; but think you can easily get the
other if you look about a little; and
be sure, dear not to get picquet-edged
ribbon, but one with just plain cord
ed edge ;and don't get a remnant; and
don't get any shade but orange; not
real vivid orange, either, but a piece
that will look we'll with pale green;
and don't pay too much for it; and
don't get red, or blue, or green, or pink
by mistake. You won't forget, will
you dear? I must have the ribbon to-
night"
Was it any wonder that when the
dazed Henry came home he brought
three yards Of sky blue watred rib
bon, or that when his wife saw it she
sank into chair and gasped out

Training Little Hands.

It is to be regretted that mothers
give SO little heed to the Importance
of their daughters knowing how to use
the needle Every girl, before enter
ing her teens, should know how to
sew on buttons, tapes, mend rips, rents
and thin places in her own clothing,
yet few of them, even when grown,
have the skill to do it nicely. How
often do we see little girls between
the ages of 8 to II years OF age, with
plenty of idle time on their hands, 60
ing about with garments in need of lit
tie repairs, where safety-pins and COM
mon pins take the place of buttons and
threads, holding the pieces together
until the mother finds time to attend
to them! What is to hinder the child
from learning to sew on her own fas-
Jennings, to mend small rents or sew
up little rips? Allowing the child to
go about with clothing out of repair
is but encouraging and accustoming
her to habits of s1ovenliness which may
cause her much mortified vanity and
loss of self-respect in after years. The
"stitch in time" often saves more than
a few additional stitches.
With a very little showing, the las
sic can do her own things-not always
with Il very great nicety ri stitches a.
first, but satisfactory results will come
with practice, and, with proper encour-
agcment. she will learn to take pride
in lc r;rie her garments whole Then.
'Co, it IS no unusual thing to see the
little brothers of grown sisters run
Mug about, regular little rag ,nufins
in looks because of rips, rents. lost
buttons and torn-vut buttonho1es,
which the sisters could easily repair
if thev had been given the responsible
ity. Indeed, many Of these little boys
could do much to keep themselves
comfortably ''harnessed," if their own
fingers had been given the proper
training. In olden times, the wee las
sizes of from three to five summers
were given tasks in sewing. and by the
time they grew beyond the mothers
brooding they were expert seamstress-
es. For the sake Of neatness, COM
fort and economy, it is we'll to initiate
Our grandmothers in some things. and
in nothing more than that the 1assie
should do more with the family ward
robe and less of the eye-straining ''fan
cy work" that really serves no neces-
sary purpose.-"The Commoner."

Time works wonders. When your feel

you miserably unhappy to be unpleas-

should also be renewed from time to

Mo1asses cookies stirred up at night
and left until morning to bake work
much nicer and require less flour than
when baked at once. A very good
recipe is one cup of mo1asses, one
cup of granulated sugar, one cup short
ening, one cup of warm water, two
teaspoonfu1s of soda, two teaspoonfu1s
of vinegar with ginger to taste. Mix
stiff with flour, stirring with spoon.

Buttermilk as a Tonic.

Ordinary sour buttermilk is a better
tonic, is a better food than was ever
bottled or boxed I'D by the chemist or
doctor. Buttermilk is very hearty
food. Two glasses a dav is enough
for any one This should be drunk
with meals, or else should not be tax
en- within two hours of a meal, says
McCal1's Magazine. Time should be
given it to thoroughly digest before
ANYTHING else is taken into the stom-
ach. It takes buttermi1k considerably
over an hour to digest, and to drink
another glass before the first one is
digested is only to stir tip difficulty
with the digestive organs. Really, the
best way to drink buttermi1k is with
the meals, though it may be drunk be-
tween meals as sort of easily digest
ed lunch.
