Only q Cough.

Hart o. Berg, manager for the
Wrights, was talking at lie Mans
about their SKILL" said a returned
tourist in New York. Hart told me
how Wilbur Wright got rather i'm
patient with the aerial pilots he was
teaching to run his machine.
"One afternoon, according to Hart,
a French count, the most promising
of the learners, had a slip-up and
fell. No harm was done, and the
count excused himself on account of
the high wind and so forth. Wright
smiled sarcastically as he overhauled
the damaged machine. Hart said it
was just like tenderfoot he once
saw in Texas.
This tenderfoot thought he could
ride, and in front of lot of cowboys
mounted pony. The pony soon
threw him. A cowboy, helping him
up said:
Hello! What threw you?'
What threw me? Why, she
bucked something fearful! Didn't
you see her buck?' cried the tender
foot.
'Buck?' 1aid the cowboy. Rats!
She only coLghed.' New York Tri-

The Bath Room.

II possible the bath room should
be fitted with tiled dadoes; where
the expense is too great a sanitary
paper should be employed.
The paint must be enameled, and
the bath itself should be one OF those
with a rolled metal edge. 1t is, I
think, a mistake to enclose a bath in
a wooden case, neither is ledge OF
polished wood advisable. for it is inn
possible to prevent the polish from
becoming scratched and marked.
The floor of the bath room should
be covered with cork carpet. A
square OF cork should be provided as
a bath mat, and one of the wooden
boards, which is made to fit across a
bath on which to put sponges and
soap dishes should not be forgotten.

AIways Keen Faith.

Many a woman who would not
think of lightly breaking a promise
made to a grown-up person Is utterly
careless about keeping her word with
her children. she promises whatever
is convenient at the moment, and ap-
parently thinks that the breaking or
keeping of those promises is matter
in which she can please herself, and
that her children have no right to
consider themselves aggrieyed II she
does not do so.
A mother who acts thus does her
child grievous harm. She forgets
that the sense of justice is strong in
quite Il lit'le child, and that it is
natural Z nd reasonable that he should
expect his parents to be as good as
their word. and to fulfil their prom
ises even at the cost of convenience.
Promises should not be lightly
broken, and the parent who is guilty
of this soon loses her children's con-
fidence, which is one of the sweetest
things our little ones can give US.
When boys and girls learn to doubt
their parents truthfulness they soon
look around for some one else whom
they can trust. and on that person
they shower their affection and be-
stow their confidence. - Scottish
