Advice to Mothers.

One of the first duties to her child is
to spare no effort in her endeavors to
provide him with a physique fitted to be
the support and companion of his mind.
There is no better equipment for the
little one who must win his way in the
world than perfect health.
Children are much more likely to be
made nervous than to be born nervous.
One Of the secrets of gaining prompt
obedience from children is to make few
matters points of contention. To over
look is what the most successful mother
knows how to do.
The child feels his own position keenly
when he loses self-control. To aggra-
vate his misery by blows or commands,
when he is not in a physical condition
to understand them, seldom brings good
results.
To be successful in exacting obedi-
ence, there must be no threats nor must
anything be offered the children in the
way of a bride

The Care of Irons.

1t is very easy to spoil irons by
keeping them constantly on the stove.
They lose temper under such treat
ment, and win not retain the heat. AS
soon as the ironing is done, set the
irons off the stove, and when they
are cold put them away in g. dry place
Irons are often Injured by being stored
where it is damp. 1t is good plan to
have a small closet especially for the
articles required in ironing. About once
in two or three months the irons shouT0
be thoroughly washed in a pan of warm
water, in which tablespoonful of lard
has been dissolved. A piece of brown
beeswax tied in a cloth, or a little fine
salt spread out on paper is the best
thing to remove roughness from the
irons when in use

The Rev. John ]. Preston, pastor of
ST. Lawrence's church, Weehawken,
n. j., unexpectedly appeared at a
smoker at the Plymouth Athletic club.
in that place, recently, and threatened
to call the police unless a card of pu-
gilistic events was declared off.
The star event of the evening was to
be a "go'' between Charlie Sieger of
Hoboken and "'The Dixie Kid a col

smoker was fived at so cents, and the
club house was. crowded with men and
boys.
Father Preston followed in the wake
of a procession which moved apparent

church toward 1.-THE Shades under
the shade Of the bluffs, and found that
something exciting was going on inside

door by a young man. who asked

The sports inside were so interested

they eventually got wise, and several

No Children Below.

Once there was a bachelor who moved

Every house had children, and he

was a baby borni

Cant come in? Why not?' he asked

The sweet.Tempered Wife.

The most valuable asset q woman can
possess is a sweet temper in daily life,
because a sweet temper makes the hap
piness of home. If many a young wife
would only realize what charm n
sweet temper has for a husband she
would try to cultivate one. When the
tired man comes home from a weary
day in the city, all the tolls and trou-
bles of the working hours can be
smothed away by the sweet words of a
sweet disposition. There is never a
'but" with the sweet-tempered wife.
never a tiny grumble, and the little
home becomes such a sunshiny abode
that it can make its inmates forget
the cares of life that otherwise would
become heavy indeed.

The Charm of LovabIe Women.

Very lovable is the woman who has
cultivated a disposition angelic enough
to see the good and not the evil side
of human nature; who can be severe
with her own failings and excuse the
faults of others. We are told that she
IS a dull, uninteresting creature, and if
we take the trouble to look into the
matter we find thai she does not laugh
at her neighbours pet weaknesses.
our lovable woman may not be witty;
she may be a little prosy, but she it
is to whom we go for sympathy when
in trouble, and confide in with a feeling
that our secret viii not be torn to
shreds as soon as our back is turned.

Hot Water Cure.

There would be less indigestion and
fewer sick headaches" said London
doctor, IF people would stick to the
hot water cure. The first dose should
be taken half an hour before breakfast.
This cleanses the alimentary canal and
leaves it ready to digest the breakfast
If you don't care to eat fruit for that
meal, squeeze half a lemon in the water,
and that will give you the requisite
acid. Most sick headaches will disap-
pear before copious drafts of hot water.
If you wake up with a headache take
tumberful OF hot water and go back
to sleep, and you are almost sure to
wake up feeling all right. The water

quarry slipped and his burden flew

his dinner and was stretched out on
his back to sleep when the explosive
struck him and bounced harmlessly
