We have often wondered why it is con-
sidered Toms duty to wait on Mary and
why Marysis expected to clean up Toms
litter, hang up his coat and hunt his hat.
Both children consider themselves mar

for each to do his or her own work. 1t

PLANT A ROSE FOR THE LIVING.

PLANT A ROSE FOR THE LIVING.
A rose for the living and not for the
dead alone. A rose now, and do not keep
all caskets of love and tenderness sealed
up until our friends are dead and prepared
for the quiet grave. Better-far better
to fill their lives with flowers, love and
joys. "Kind words can never die"-speak
approvingly, cheerfully, before the ear is
dumb to all earthly sounds, while yet
their hearts can be thrilled and echo the
music of kindness. The kind and ap-
proving things sealed up in the heart to be
said after they are dead, say before, say
while they are living and need the sympa-
thy and love human kindness alone can
give. The roses, the flowers intended for
their hearts to beautify and cheer while
yet the sweet echo may come back to you,
clothed in hallowed perfume, "thank
you."

Home Circle Column

If there is one thing above another a
young man should be ashamed of doing,
it's loafing without aim or purpose or
profit, on the streets or in stores day after
day, all week. If you have nothing to do,
stay at home IA part of the time at any
rate. No young man with any self re-
spect will contenthimself with aspiring to
no higher reputation, than that of chronic
loafer and store box magnate Nothing
will so blunt the higher faculties Of the
mind as inactivity; and no inactivity is so
banefu and malevolent in It's effect as that
voluntary idleness termed loaflng.
1t is so easy to criticise ones neighbor
who has gone wrong in morals, or made a
failure In business, and so hard to give
credit for the effect of the influences inn
polling him to disaster, over which he has
no control, that our criticism of others is
often very unchafltable. Men often say
how good they would have been, or what
they would have been, or what they
would have accomplished had they been
In the other mans place. They do not
stop to ask why the fellow that was in
the other shoes did not succeed. If they
did they would often find the man who
went wrong, or who failed, was entitled
to great credit for standing up SO bravely
under forces and burdens that might
easily have overthrown his accusers.
Sometimes the man who fails is greater
hero than another who wins.

One of the late enterprises of our little city which is making a SCOT ing success is the concrete works of MT. c. w. McCrory. The Maj or is manufacturing concrete blocks with his own machines, for a two- story building p feet wide by 80 feet long. Some 5000 blocks will be used in the building of which number 2OOO have already been made. Foreman H. A. Walker informed us that the blocks would be finished by next week after which work will be- gin upon the building.
 Did you ever stand in the golden sunlight of a warm day with your eyes turned upon a sheet of fly paper? If so you may have noticed how when one fly adhears to the stickey surface, it's companion, instead of profiting by the hor- rible warning, immediatly buzz down and go to destruction in the same manner, and in lir- tie time there are hundreds in the throes of death. They are fools, to be sure, and so are men. Men see their associates caught 1 in the nets of vice. There are sx- amples and warnings all about human beings, but they treat them lightly as do flies and step down to death just as insanely.
 The woman who is always we'll and neatly dressed is able to ex- ercise a greater influence for good than one who is the reverse. The we'll dressed woman is attractive to the eye and the eye is one of the main avenues to the heart. Other things being equal, her in- fuence is more potent than her neighbours, whose reputation of dressing "just as it happens" at home in some indefinable way casts shade over whatever vir- tue she may possess. A woman neatly dressed is ready for emer- gences. The chance caller and the unexpected guest find her ready to receive them. But perhaps the greatest necessity for looking we'll at home exists in the home itself. To the members of their families they owe the first duty.
