'"The average man, too. is more pref
udiced about his family than his women
folks ever are. For him there is
standard of life and conduct to which
his wife, his sisters and his daughters
must comply or forever lose his respect
and regard, Outside his own near rela-
tives he is net so particular The rest
of the sex are merely other women and
their manner of life is no concern of
his. To do him justice, it must be admit
ted that he has also for himself con-
ventioaal code of honor which he and
his kind have agreed to accept and to
which he renders due obedience. 1t it's
true. as Is generally supposed, that wom-
Ell are less preiudiced in this respect il
is perhaps matter for rePret. It's bet
ter to have an arbitrary and conventions
al code of honor than none at all."-New

The Girls Rebellious Period
The mothers heart is apt to be more
perplexed and dismayed when she finds
the daughter in a state of incipient rebel
lion against home authority than when
the boys show symptoms of revolt. Per-
haps she has forgotten her own and her
sisters moods at the same period She
has seen the girl, all gentleness from
babyhood, all feminine, entirely clinging
and obedient; then suddenly, after IA visit
somewhere, or a vacation from school. or
a taste of outdoor life, this delicate be-
ing wakes moody, slightly irritable, an-|
swers sharply, is bit self-willed, ques-
tions authority, and the mothers heart
sinks, lest these are signs of some real
evil disposition that may after awhile
break out in sorrows for the home.
Then the mother begins to worry. Per-
haps she draws the reins tighter, and pro-
vokes real rebellion. But she need not
vex herself, but use discretion and treat
the case lightly. 1t is only a mood,
temporary phase of development. The
once gentle creature will come back
again to gentleness. They tell us now
that each one of us, in some degree, re-
produces the history of mankind; that
we pass from childhood onward through
various stages similar to those through
which our race has passed, and so the
civilized man or woman is the climax
of the process in the individual as in the
race. Whether this be true in detail 1r
not, it is certainly true that we pass
through phases of disposition and mood
in becoming real men and women of the
higher type This thought may suggest
to the mother that the daughter who now
causes mora or less anxiety is in process
of development toward her more perma-
nent self. She is not now as she is al
ways TO be. After awhile she will won
der how she could have been inconsider-
ate and briery toward those she loves
best. She will see and appreciate all the
goodness and love given her.
She will come out right. She will be
the woman you have hoped and prayed
she might be. Be as patient as possible,
giving sympathy rather than reproach.
You need not relax vigilance as il you
could do nothing; use all wisdom, and be
hopeful. The girl will be the stronger
because she does not now like restraint.
When you come to think of it calmly,
you would not really wish her to be with
out any of the signs of force of char
acter, though these may for the time
manifest themselves in not just the way
you would like. These symptoms will
become suhdued, tanned, later, and then
she will be a strong, noble woman Pos
sess your soul in patience-Thomas
Boyd in Mothers Magazine.

Care of Cuts and Minor Injuries.
There are no external applications
such as ointments, liniments or lotions
that will or can heal a wound. Ma
ture alone does this, and she can do ii
in the least possible time when her
methods are not retarded
If q cut or laceration is made with
clean instrument. it is best to dress the
wound without even washing off the
exuding blood. If the injury was caused
by anything not clean. or if any for
| eign matter be present and q suspicion
| of infection exists, of course the in
| jured surface should be thoroughly
cleansed. In the absence of an anti
| septic solution. plain hot water may be
| used, and the particles of dirt or grit

The healing of wounds is often mate
rally interfered with by the application
| of useless or injurious remedies" and
| oyer-attention in the disturbance or
| changing or dressings. If a wound is
perfectly clean and the edges correctly
| brought together, the only way nature
| can be assisted is by keeping it so.
| However, it is sometimes not only adj
/ viSable but necessary to make an APP

| pain, particularly in children and nery-

| an oily liquid is formed. after which
| twice the quantity Of sweet oil is added.
| The mixture is non-IrrJating antiseptic
! and is good for any injury, burns and
| scalds included, that is liable to happen
| in a family.
it should be kept in a tightly curked
