FATHERS MORAL DUTY
GREAT AS MOTHERS
Her Influence May be Nullifed

rifice Needed.

And just as, in the model house,
hold, the father and the mother con-
tribute equally to the physical welfare
of their children, just so they SHOULD
share in the educational and moral
training. But how often is this done?
In nine cases out of ten is not the
mother left to grapple almost single
handed with all this devious drudgery?
And is not the reason largely because
of this nonsense which has been put
forth since the beginning of time. to
the effect that 1T is the mother and
the mother alone. who has n respon-
sibility in the matter?
Have you not known score and hun
dreds OF boys who were pure and
sweet UP to about this age, who began
then to go wrong If their fathers were
not what they should be? Their early
training seems to slide off from them
like spring snOw from q slanting roof.
They follow their fathers example,
for all their mothers p%recepts.
In families where the father d%iscerns
his dutv, and does it, the work of a
good mother is not hus nullified; but
so many Of the fathers have been
brought up to think that a good moth
er is all that a boy needs to make him
into a good citizen, that they feel JUS
tilted in Sinking their part Of the
work. The boy has q good mother;
isn't that enough?
We must revise our creed in his re-
epect. 1t is just as necessary in order
that n family should turn out we'll that
there should be a good, interested, self
denying, pure minded father there as
that there mould be a good mother.

Makes Indian Arrow Heads.
From st. Louis GIobe-Democro .

Ernest Bauman. of Berlin, Kent county.
Mich. is said to have discovered how the
rdian made arrow heads. This is the
story: Many a time when his plough
turns up an arrowhead. or some OF the
chips faxed off in the process OF manu-
facturc. he would sit down beside the
plough and become absorbed in study OF
the problem. From the chips he learned
more than from the heads themselves. He
learned which way they came on the
stone and then he began to experiment TO
find the means employed to break them
of. He tried as a hammer every material
he could think OF, and finally succeeded in
chipping several flakes off with a piec.,
of hard wood whitfield to a point. with
this encouragement he kept at 1t. and
about a year ago succeeded in producing q
perfect arrowhead. The news OF the sue
cess OF his experiments came to David
w. Kendall of Grand Rapids. who Ia an
authority on geological and entohloloRical
subjects. He wrote the boy. and Bauman
called at kendal's residence and an
nounced he would make an arrowhead for
him then and there. He produced tho
only tool which he said was necessary.
and to Mr.. Kendall's surprise It was moth
Ing more than a small bit of wood Whitfield
to a point. From another pocket he took
q rough piece Of flint and set to work
With a peculiar twisting motion Of the
wood-not nammering. but rather rubbing
against the stone-he broke of chip after
chip. and within Al hour handed to M.
Kendall a perfect arrowhead.

1oNIcs FOR LovERs.

Is there any such thing as a cure for
love? Judging from the writings of great
philosophers, absence or occupation would
seem to be equally successful.
Two thousand years ago Ovid advised
those who wished to Danish love to go
away, to travel. hunt or till the soil.
Absence is apparently the best test OF
love. As one French writer says. Alb
sence destroys weak passions. but in
creases strong ones. as the wind extin-
guishes a candle, but fans a fire."
If love is all fancy. and is but weak,
close friendship with the object of 1t will
frequently cure 1t. An old Latin author
says: "If YOU desire to end your love
employ yourself and you will conquer.
for love shuns business"
According to the cynics. rejecting on
the miseries of married life is a sure cure.
As they say, with most marriages 1t
does not take long for things to assume
a very p!teous look Again, "Oh, how
many torrents lie in the small circles of
a wedding ring
But we must mention that most of the
writer's of such sentiments were unhappy
In their choice Of mates.

DRESSES.

Speaking of the remaking Of Old
dresses, one of the best dressmakers
In Paris is authority for the statement
your old gown: do not touch a scissors
to it," says she but content yourself
with retrimming It," In these days a
pointed guimpe of flet and duchess
lace can be set into an old blouse. This
will give the new jumper effect. If the
sleeves are short and too puffy at the
shoulders, they can be made to look
different by placing a fiat piece of trim
ming upon the shoulder seam. This
makes the shoulder look longer with
out altering the set Of the sleeve. A
long. light lace undersleeve, coming to
the knuckles, makes the sleeve still
more mOdish.
