or less practicable. and always make

or less practicable, and always makes
for success. The woman who learns
to look at life impersonally, for ex-
ample, is the one who sees life
straight and walks most safely
through it. The woman who can put
away prejudice or pique is the Wo-
man who wins her way socially and
personally. The woman who loves
others better than herself the most
useful and most is additionally and
eternally blessed of women.
1t is Goethe's old dictum over
again. "Renounce!" In that lies
the way to larger possession. The
moment that a personal desire is re-
nounced, it's place is open for larger
energy and hopes. When half-gods
go, the gods arrive" said wise Emer-
son. Self is to many the demi-god
of life, conditioning all steps, loom
ing UP in all paths, and generally OBJ
structive. Even self-sacrifice needs
watching at times, when it does not
regard the real good of others, but
only its own impulse. Some mothers,
by such selfish unselfshness, get into
their own way as far as training their
children is concerned In fact, the
ways by which self can thwart prog
ress are legion, and have to be dealt
with by each individual separately.
But once recognized under the Pro-
team DISCUSSES, once firmly and re-
peatedly shown the door, what an

AS TO STEPMOTHERS.

Why is it that people are so anz-
ious to call stepmothers abusive? In
answer to one correspondent would
suggest to the boy who is sixteen
years old if he would try and help his
stepmother in little things or be kind
to her in any way I am sure she
would return his kindness. He is
old enough to know that stealing is
wrong and there Is no excuse for it.
Stepchildren are oftenest in fault.
They forget that it had to be the step
mother or nobody. Instead of being
thankful for what she does they
blame her for not doing more. What
but her relations to their father re-
quire her to do anything for them?
Then should they not praise and help
her, instead Of blaming and hinder
ing her? Let the stepchildren do
their share and the average step
mother will be only too happy to do
anything in her power for them

Pony Carriages Gone.

lone thing I miss on the drives, "
said the man who visits New York
twice a year, is the little pony car
riages driven by children. They have
not disappeared altogether, but they
are not nearly so numerous as for

man why they are seen so infre'
uuently, and he declared that the
automobiles have driven them out.
The ponies and their youthful drivers
could hold their own among the

mobiles made driving SO dangerous

PLANTS FOR PORCH BOXES.

Avoid the planting of flowers that
demand sun in situations where only
shade is to be had, and, on the other
hand, do not waste time and effort by
setting shade loving plants in posi-
tions exposed to the full glare of the
sun. Neither will thrive.
Usually the most perplexing prob
lem is to select plants for the north
side of the porch or the north win
dows. Trailing fuchsias, ivy geran-
iums, fancy cala6iums, vincas, aspar-
agus, Japanese morning glories, gle
choma and begonias are all suitable,
to say nothing of the numerous ferns.
The common umbrella plant" also
does well in such situations, but re-
quires more water than the others.
For boxes on the south, geraniums,
antirrhinums C"snap dragons"), he
liotrope, maurandya, Phlox Drum

ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

Among the patients in the private

was recently a testy old millionaire
of that city, whose case gave his ply
stefan considerable difficulty at first.

trouble me, either!''-Lippincott's.

TO DRAW THREADS.

It is very difficult oftentimes to
draw threads in materials for hem
stitching. One gets a thread going
and suddenly it breaks and must be
hunted for, or else a new thread
picked up, which makes bad looking
work. To avoid this make thick
.ather of any kind of soap, and with
lather brush-if you have one; if
not, an old soft toothbrush will do
20 over the material where the
threads are to be drawn, lathering it
we'll. When this is done allow the
father to thoroughly dry. When you
begin to draw the threads you will
find that they will draw very easily,
without breaking.

ANNOYING MANNERISMS.

If we would only learn to be quiet,
absolutely quiet when we are sup
posed to be quiet, without motion or
sound, faces quiet, hand quiet, feet
quiet; if everything that we do could
be done as noiselessly as possible
without an unnecessary sound or
movement. The movement to re-
strain noises should begin at home
rather than abroad; better innumer-
able bells and whistles outside than
slamming doors, creaking shoes, or
shrill voices inside. We need the
training given by constant attendance
in a sick-room. What a relief it
would be to tired nerves if a general
reformation of this kind took place!

selves as to others!-Harper's Bazaar.

One Phase OF Education.

Different standards prevail in diff
ferent institutions. Certain older
institutions in the East have such
social prestige that they attract from
the Weather class young men and
women who seek a-college degree
more for the social advantages to be
won in obtaining it than for the
educational benefits it represents.
No such complaint is heard in the
West. Higher education in the West
probably has been hampered more
by lack of equipment and facilities
and money with which to retain
competent educators than by false
standards and methods.
1t is big question that these edu-
cational leaders have raised, for 1t
affects the future citizenship of the
country. Is it possible for our col
lege to train men who, when they
become officeholders, will not prove
to be grafters, or when they become
congressman and senators will not
fight the battle of the protected in
terests against the people? To turn
out such men the colleges must edu-
cate them morally as well as intel
lectually. Education without moral
basis or principle is more dangerous
than ignorance without moral basis
or principle The average American
has been able to hold his own intel
lectually with the rest of the world
in government, diplomacy, science,
commerce and industry-but can
you depend upon him to act only
and without fail on the soundest
moral principles in every instance?
