1t is beautiful to give one day to
the ideal-to have one day apart.
One day for generous deeds, good
will, gladness.
One day to forget the sorrows, the
rain, the storms of life; to remember
the sunshine, the happiness of youth
and health.
One day to forget the briars and
thorns on the winding path. To
remember the fruits and flowers.
One day in which to forget your
self and think lovingly of others.
One day for the family, the fire.
side, the wife and the children, for
love and laughter, the JOY AMI rap
ture of home.
One day in which books and stocks
and deeds end notes, and interest
and mortgages, and all kinds of bus
mess and trade are forgotten, and
all stores and shors and factories and
offices and banks, and ledgers and
accounts, and lawsuits are cast aside,
put away and locked up, and the
weary heart and brain are given a
voyage to fairyland,
Let us hope that such day is a
prophesy of what all days will be.

Do not take UP babies every time
they cry or they will soon learn to
cry a great deal for that purpose.
Be sure that they are made COM
Portable in every particular, and it
will not hurt them to cry a little, and
the wailing will soon cease if the
child's wishes are not gratlfed. 1t
is easier than one would at first sup
pose to teach infants to go to sleep
without rocking, singing or telling
stories to them, 1t is a temptation
to fold a sweet baby in ones arms
and lull it to sleep, but when we con-
template the number of times that
this must be done when we have not
time for 1t, it is better to forego the
pleasure. Begin just as you wish to
continue, insisting upon as great a
regularity as possible in it's eating,
sleeping and all things; watch close
ly and do not let little habits form
that will be a trouble afterward,
such as leaving i light for the little
ones to go to sleep by, and legion
of others too numerous to mention.
Most children are over fed. and they
fret and cry and are unmanageable in
consequence.

The world has but little respect
for the newspaperman who hollers
himself hoarse through print for

but the influence of every prohibition
leader who falls short of total alb
stinence in his personal practice, is
but of small moment. Would to

it is-reason to the bottom and set
themselves right consistently as we'll

Sonal living that counts as much if

That bright little educational
sheet dubbed "Oour Schools" has
followed Prof. J. NJ. Wilkins to
Waynesboro. In fact its the eX-
preston of his literary genius from
an educational basis. Wilkins, our
readers will remember, we informed
little while back, has been enga-
ged to teach the Waynesboro school
and has moved on that city and is
entering into a vigorous campaign
for the incoming seasons work.
Wilkins is one of those kind of fell

the finding guilty, for the one in

NOT OF YEARS ALONE.

So life, dear heart, is not of years alone
Howe'er so many to the past have
flown.
True living is not made of years, but
deeds;
OF earnest prayer, not counting of The
beads;
OF humble trust, not flight on fancy's
wing;
OF toll and task which burdened years
e'er bring;
Oft wrinkled brows, and weary, tagging
brain:
Oft sleepless nights and anxious care
and pain;
IT'S these write wrinkles on the fairest
brow,
And bring the past and future into
now
And bow the form and silver DER the
hair,
And strengthen noble hearts o. bring
despair.
But God, the Life, the Lord, the hope
of all,
Shapes up the task, lifts I'D the ones
who fall;
Remolds the life; to character gives
form,
And writes upon the heart his blessed
norm
OF life; and makes the careworn, wrin-
killed. face
A blest expression of His own loves
trace.

Rules for RAISING Babies.

Two English mothers, who declare
that they have never kissed their owl
babies nor allowed any one else to kiss
them, have undertaken to instruct other
mothers of the world in the art of rails.
ing babies. They have posted in the
halls of their homes a series of rules
and have begun preaching their anti
baby-kissing doctrines through the
press of England. The posted rules are
as follows:
Don't kiss the baby.
Don't handle baby unless your hands
are very. very clean.
Don't bring baby's face close to your
own or to your hair
Don't allow baby to touch your face
or hair.
Don't talk, breathe, whistle, blow,
cough or sneeze into baby's face. We
want him to live.
Don't use your handkerchief to baby's
hands, face or mouth.
To some these rules will appear conf
cal or stupid, but they are not written
as a joke or without thought. There
fore, any person infringing these rules
after having read them will incur our
displeasure extremely.
We submit that parents who want
that kind of babies should be prevented
from having them. The humblest baby
in the world was born to a heritage
from which it should not be deprived
1t was born to be kissed. coddled, tossed
and played with. It's life would not be
worth living. if it could not crawl in
the dirt now and then, pull daddy's
whiskers and its mothers hair. The
baby that has not been crooned to sleep
in the crook of its mothers arm: that
has not been tossed and tousled by pa
rents, relatives and friends; that has
not had its tears dried and its sorrows
kissed away has missed the sweetest
part of the baby's life and the sweetest
part of the lives of others in its home.
An antiseptic, sterilized baby is a mis-
homer
