DISCIPLINE AND RESULTS.

In describing her mothers methods OF
discipline, List Cipriani, in "A Tuscan
Childhood" gives an amusing instance
Of the manner in which her small
brother, Matthew, was cured Of the
habit of whining. His mother had rea-
that he had to be man; that whining
was not even allowed in little girls,
much less in big boy. It did no good.
Matthew would whine.
My mother threatened, eff you don't
stop whining, I'll treat you like girl
But If Lofty or Alick displeased him,
he would whine. If his clothes did not
suit him, he would whine.
My mother finally lost patience. One
day she took him to the nursery, told
the nurse to bring her one Of my oldest
sisters frocks, and without giving Mat
thew the slightest chance to object,
made him dress up like a girl from
head to foot. Not one piece Of dainty
underwear was spared. Even his shoes
had to be girls shoes.
He was not compelled to go back to
the school room. Deeply Inundated,
he withdrew into the recess of nurs-
cry window AS he was standing there,
his back carefully turned to any one
who might perchance come in, anxious,
If he had dared, to disappear from view
altogether, mild little old woman,
our family seamstress, CHANGED into the
room.
She did not know what had happened.
Seeing the familiar red plaid of my
sisters dress, she gently walked up to
the dress, and caressing one sleeve light.
~, said:
miss Lofty, are you i'll? Are you
not taking any lessons to-day?"
The answer was an angry yell. Ny
brother thought it had been, deliber-
ate insult. He rushed past the aston
ished woman, fed into the garden, and
hid among the trees.
That broke him Of whining. He
never had to wear girls clothes again

He was allowing her to walk forward to
her end, this beautiful creature whose
courage was more than a mans!
Her fingers were upon his sleeve, pulling
him forward. She had no need of words
from him now. Life remained in her to
reach the place ahead. She did not want
more life, if the dead were there.

RUSSIAN RAILROAD STORY.

the Tedium of Travel.
The tedium Of railroad travelling in
Russia was relieved. the other day In
an unexpected manner, says the Lon
don Globe. In a compartment Of the
train going from Kursk to Kiev sat a
beautiful young lady next to a chatty
priest, with whom she held an animated
conversation. Opposite sat a student
who envied the priest the causerie he
was enjoying.
As the evening came on the girl fell
asleep and the priest nodded his head
in slumber. That was an opportunity
which no self-respecting Joker could
afford to let slip. Bending forward
the student kissed the sleeping damsel
and sprang back into his seat.
The salute awakened the girl, who,
thinking that it was her Ieighbor, the
priest, who had dared to kiss her,
jumped up and gave him sounding
box on the ears. The student rejoiced
greatly. There was commotion, the
policeman accompanying the train was
summoned, AID he at once drew up e
protocol against the wronged priest,
while the student offered to appear as
& witness in the law court at Kiev.
But at the last moment young Jew
ess who had been sitting in a dark
corner unobserved by anybody stepped
fDrward, exonerated the poor priest
from the terrible accusation, and then
it was the students turn to feel miser.

Australia.

The first civilized settlement in Aus
tralia was made at Botany Bay in
1873 by some 1000 persons, mostly con-
victs. In 1926 Moreton bay, New South
Wales, was settled. The settlement of
Western Australia dates from 1929.
Explorations Of Australia began in
1915 and have been kept up at inter-
walls ever since. The greater part Of
the interior Of the continent Is little
better than desert, being either sand
or dense shrub or porcupine bush. In
1875 Giles traversed territory $500
miles in extent which was declared
unfit for human habitation." And yet

Not what we can do, but what God

faith That Conquered the Wilder
From where l stand the throne OF
grace has been invoked, as l compute,
not less than thirty thousand times"
So spoke Will Carleton few months
ago, returning after many years OF alb
sence to the home Of his childhood. A
thousand memories came over him, but
this was the most sacred. Here, morn
ing and night, year after year, his
father had knelt in daily prayer for the
home which he had established in the
woods of Michigan, and for those be-
ueath the humble roof.
"Great influences hover over us as
we gather here" said the poet to his
neighbors of former years. "They re-
mind us Of the faith that made our
fathers strong, and the prayers by
which our own lives were dedicated to
high and holy purposes; and they teach
us that unless our hands take hold OF
the world above, our feet can find no
firm foundation on the world we in
habit here"
Billy" Carleton, they had called him
in his boyhood, and on that day some
one called him by the old name. He
was a man of sixty then, tall and with
gray hair, but he smiled as he was
called by his boyhood name. He told
the neighbors how he had begun to
write. He revisited with them the
school which he first attended and
afterward taught. He recalled the in
cidents in some of his more popular
poems, and the characters, very thin
ly disguised, whom he took from the
neighborhood to introduce to wider
company. He recited lover the Hill
to the Poorhouse" and 'Uncle Sammy"
He shook hands with the old neigh
bors, and kissed the babies, grandchil-
dren Of his former playmates. 1t was
his first visit to the old home since he
had gained wide recognition and moved
away, and the day was replete with
"reminiscences, glad and sad.
But more than anything else, as be
looked about and saw the changes since
his own childhood, and remembered the
still greater contrast since first the
home began, he thought Of the strength
and courage Of the men and women who
had made their homes in the wilder
ness, and whose faith as we'll as whose
strength Of arm and Of purpose had
made possible the conquest Of savages
and Of savage nature.
There was pathos in the welcome,
and there were tears in his eyes and in
the eyes Of those whom he greeted, as
well as smiles on their faces, and there
was much that those who shared in
the experience Of the day will gladly
remember; but that which those who
heard him will remember longest will
be also remembered most fondly
when he stood again in the home which
his father had built in the woods-the
heroism Of the daily struggle and the
earnestness and value Of the daily
prayer-Youth's Companion.

The LIGHT Of Faith.

Faith Is truly light in the soul,
but it is light which only shines
upon duties, and not upon results or
events. 1t tells us what is now to be
done, but 1t does not tell us what is
to follow, and accordingly it guides
US but single step at a time, and
when we take that step under the
guidance Of faith. we advance directly
into a land Of surrounding shadows
and darkness. Like the patriarch
Abraham, we 60, not knowing whittier
we go, but only that God is with u.s.
In mans darkness we, nevertheless,
walk and live in Gods light. A way
of living blessed and glorious, how
ever mysterious it may be to human
vision. For ''the Lord God will en-
tighten our darkness

Tho Divine Aid.

Elisha on the mountain top, with an
army in wait for him, seemed in a
perilous position. His servant lost
heart at once. He could not under
stand his masters calmness, still less
his strange reply, 'They that be with
us are more than they that be with
them" Only eyes divinely opened
see the invisible hosts arrayed on the
side Of right, and against the forces
of wrong. The courage of the good
in times Of difficulty or danger is not
as inexplicable as it sometimes seems,
for in such extremity Gods servants
feel the nearness Of unseen helpers,
and know that Divine strength is
theirs.
