Maudie.


Maud Muller on an Autumn day
Was raking the fallen leaves away.
The Judge meandered down the walk,
And stopped to make little talk.
Maud" said he, and his bosom heaves,
What are you doing?-raking leaves? ~
mo, sir" said Maud, In accents low,
Just at present I'm shoveling snow"
WhereupOn the judge moved his feet
And meandered onward down the street.
Then Maud winked at the cat, did she.
And said with forced solemnity:
'Of all fool things from tongue or pen
The limit is the fool remarks of men. f"

BE smiler-let the throng
Hear your laughter and your song;
Let the echoes Of your cheer
Calm the sObbing, stay the tear.

Get Busy,

Get Busy.
Don't imagine you feel worse
Than anybody on earth.
Get busy.
When you're fretting about the past.
And troubles coming thick and fast,
Get busy.
Don't be cross, and stew, and fuss,
Because the house is in a muss.
Get busy.
When you're out OF snuff to chew.
Only to tell what your neighbors do.
Get busy.
Don't cry because the eggs didn't hatch
But set the hen on another atch and

SOME Western sightseers visited

Jean Leon Gerome's huge painting
depicting the death of Julius Caesar.
Caesar lies stricken at the foot of
POmpey's statue, What's the mat

them. Why, don't you read his

OVER DRESS.

Too many mothers consider their
children as simply objects for the
display of their own vanity and
pride. Little Mary must be kept in
pure white clothes all the season
through, though neither the fathers
purse nor the mothers strength is
sufficient to provide the numberless
changes necessary. Instead of
dressing the child in sensible frocks
of blue flannel, such as millionaire's
children are a shamed to wear for
play dresses, every effort is strained
to reach this false ideal of dress
which the mother has set up for

speech, if to speak is TO condemn
Such charity hears the tales Of SLAM
der, but does not repeat it; listens in
silence, but forbears comment then
locks the unpleasant secret up in the
very depths of his heart. Silence
can still rumor; it is speech that
keeps story alive, and lends it
vigor. II is in the kind and gentle
heart that charity abides with the
peacefulness of a dove. There it
makes its home, and by the word
and the kindly one out
spoken, we have the sign of the dove
Of peace nesting in the heart. For
kind words are like "apples of gold
in pictures Of silver"

There are too many fathers who
will tie up the dog and let the boy
run loose.
Some women are awful touchy. A
widow has brought an action against
paper which said that her husband
had gone to a happier home.
What is needed most OF all in
bringing up children is example.
What they see and hear and take in
by absorption in their young years,
will. in most cases, become tine rul-
ing traits of their lives. Parents
rarely fully realize to what extent
they stand as models to their chill
dren.
there Is no surer safeguard
against the temptations that come to
young men and women than a love
for home. 1t has brought back and
held many a wanderer in safe
place. 1t is something not only to
love home but to know that you love
it-and to know tina, you are happier
at home than in any other spot on
earth.

The rrandear anidar

One of the most singular specimens of insect life is the trapdOOr spider of Jamaica. His burrow is lined with silk and closed by a trapdoOr with a hinge. The door exactly fits the en- trance to the burrow and when closed so precisely corresponds with the sur rounding earth that it can hardly be distinguished even when its position is known. It is a strange sight to see the earth open, a little lid raise, some hairy legs prOtrude and gradually the whole form Of the spider show itself. These spiders generally hunt for food by night, and in the daytime they arc very chary of opening the door of their domicile. and if the trap be raised from the outside, they run to the spot, hitch the claws Of their fOVefeet in the lining of the burrow and so resist with all their might. The strength of the spider is wonderfully great in proportion to its size.
