the number of deaths occurring al

In the family relation every one
should always be at his best. The
home ought to be a heaven. 1t
ought to be as near heaven as is
possible on earth. There should
be no purposely withered flowers
about the hearthstone and no pur-
posely clouded sunbeams. Selfish
ness alone ought to be sufficient
to make home conduct exemplary.
Certainly all want a pleasant
home. Certainly all want smiles
instead of frowns. Home should
be just one blaze of sunshine. But
it cannot be while some member oi
the family circle swapping and
fault-fnding and s%elfishness. Do
people ever go more deliberately
and insanely at work to make
themselves miserable than they dc
when they deliberately cloud the
lights of the only place on earth
where they have any reason to ex-
pect anything like perfect quite
and happiness?

The couch was probably intro
duced into Greece by the Assyrians,
for it appears in the Parthenon
frieze in the British museum, and
the vase room there and in the
Louvre give frequent illustrations
of ancient Greek touches, which
were made of bronze instead Of
wood, and also of the stuffs used
in upholstering them. The Greeks
in their turn taught the Romans the
use of the couch, for Greek artists
and workmen were employed in
Rome. During meals men reclined
on couches each made to hold three
persons; a low rail protected the
back, and three of these seats sur
rounded the table at an entertain
ment, leaving the fourth side open
for service. Couches we're also car
ried and used as litters.

SOME SATISFACTION.


The excursion train was on it's
return trip, filled with tired and
sleepy passengers. 1t had come to
a stop, but to those who looked out
of the windows no station or other
buildings were in sight. Fully ten
minutes it stood, and the passengers
were wondering where they were or
what the trouble might be.
Just then a young man appear
ed at the front door of the coach.
"Crackerjack" he yelled.
"Well," said . passenger up
front, "it's some satisfaction to
know where we're at, ANYWAY"

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dam

The great danger of kidney

nervousness, lameness, soreness,

diabetes and Bright's disease fol-
low in merciless succession. Don't
neglect your kidneys. Cure the
kidneys with the certain and safe
remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills.

carpenter, living on Bluff street,

HER MONUMENT.

She built it herself, and she did
not know that che had a monu-
ment. She lived in it, but she
did not know that it existed.
Her monument was her home.
1t grew so quickly, as quickly a. a
flower grows, and no n knew
she did not know herself-how
much she had done to tend and
water and train it.
Hell husband had absolute trust
in her. He earned the money she
expended it. And as she put as
much thought in her expenditure
as he put in his earning, each dol
lar was doubled in the expanding.
She had inherited that mysterious
faculty which we call taste, and
she cultivated it with fidelity
Every home she visited she stud
led, though always unconsciously,
as though it were a 81 or an
art gallary; and from every visit
see brought away some thought
which came out of her loving
Imagination fitted to it's appro-
pirate place in her own home. She
was too genial to be an imitator-
for imitation is always of kin to
falshood-and she abhorred false
hood. She was patient with
everything but a lie. So she never
copied in her home OF on her per-
son that she had seen elsewhere
yet everything she saw elsewhere
entered into and helped to COM
plete the perfect picture of life
which she was always painting
with deft fingers in everything,
from the honey suckle which she
trained over the door, to the bureau
in the guests room which her de-
signing made a new mode of art
for everyssnew friend, if it were
only by a new nose gay and a
change of vases Putting her own
personality into her home, maxi
ing every room and almost every
article of furniture speak of her,
she had the gift to draw out from
every guest his personality and
make him at home and SO make
him mis- truest and best self.
Whittier man or woman of the
world could long resist the subtle
influence of that home; the warmth
OF it's truth and love thawed out
the frozen proprieties from imper-
sonated etiquette, and whatever
circle OF friends sat on the broad
piazza in summer or open fire in
winter knew for a time, the rare
Joy Of liberty-the liberty of per
feet truth and ferfect love. Her
home was hospitable because her
heart vas large; and anyone was
her friend to whom she could min
lister. But her heart vas like the
old Jewish temple-strangers only
came into the court of the gentiles,
friends into the inner court; heI
husband and her children found a
court yet nearer her heart OF
hearts; yet even they knew that
there was a holy of bodies which
she kept for her God and they
loved her and reverenced her the
more for it. So strangely was
commingled in her the exclusive
ness of love, its hospitality and its
reserve.
All, blessed homo -builder. There

REFLECTION.

Yes, when we consider that so
vast a number of III young peo-
pie, especially the boys, make
such lamentable mistakes, we are
led to reflect. The boys, our boys,
how soon they become FESTIVE un-
| der the restraints of home, and de-
termine to become independent,
and go out to mingle with the pro-
miscuous crowd, become familiar
with it's ways, listen to its oaths,
its songs, it's obscene jests, learn
to smoke, to chew, to drink, to
gamble; associate with evil COM
panions, and at last crazed by the
devil rum, commit some overt act
that brings them down to shame,
and disgrace falls on those who
loves them best.
All who fill our jails and stand
beneath the shadow of the gal
lows, have once stood where you
are standing now. Have you not
seen that mother kpeel and heard
her pray that you may walk
Alright, and heard that father,s
warning voice bidding you be-
ware? Every true friend you have
on earth unite to bid you choose
Alright. We hold the mirror up
that reflects the downward course,
the fearful end, and with no mo-
tive save for your good, and no
desire but for your future happi-
ness.
