Tho Climate Of China.

The summers in north China are
dry and hot. Then come a short
period Of torrential rains and then
long, dry fall and winter. Frost
will come about the middle of Octo-
Der, and the last of November the
river will freeze up, to say closed
until the middle of February,
though often until a month later.
There Is almost no snow during the
entire wiuter-two or three little
Aurries, but never enough to cover
the ground. The cold is compare
lively steady.

PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

There is tendency on the part of
some mothers to do so much for their
children that virtually premium is
placed upon selfshness. The child
whose every wish is anticipated, and
for whom nothing is too good, is apt
to grow up an exceedingly unpleasant
person, unless, indeed, there be ex-
traordinary amount of natural good
in him to counterbaiance the undue
indulgence. Shielding children
from every chilling breath of life's
air begets love of ease and selfish
enjoyment which becomes fixed when
childhood is past. A mother for ex-
ample, had denied herself every COM
fort. She had risen early and had
taken rest in order that her::daughters
might have perfectly happy girl
hood" No duty was exacted of them.
If they were minded to help they
might do so. if not, there was no
one to ease the weary mother of her
burden. Small wonder it is that af-
ter these girls grew up their sole
thought was for self. The mother
was ignored by them; unexpectedly
spoken of as 'oldfashioned'' and
without taste Indeed, she was
only regarded as one who could bake
and brew, and was over ordered
no other word can be used-to wait
upon them while they lolled in their
easy chairs. Never having been
taught to spend and be spent in do
ing good, these young women were
not the helpers of those in need, and
never carry sunshine into darkened
homes. Even their best friends tired
of them, and their lives were un-
lovely and disconnected. There can
be no unhappiness in life unless the
straight line of duty, which leads to
beauty's curve, =" be conscientiously
followed. Let every mother incul-
cate in her children's minds that it
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive.

1t is the duty of every woman to
always look well at home. If she
does her own work, a little care and
proper clothing will make her look
clean and neat even to the kitchen.
Particularly in the afternoon and
evening, she should make herself
look as sweet and pretty as possible.
No matter how much your husband
loves you, he will love you all the
more if, when he comes home to sup
per, you meet him with smile,
neatly dressed and with your hair
combed in the most becoming style
the way he likes to see you wear it.
Do you not wish to always keep
your husband your lover? Do you
not wish him never to regret the
choice he has made and always to
think you the most charming of
women? This is one secret of the
way to accomplish such object.

Newspapers as Makers of History.


When in 1887 l began a critical
study of the history Of the United
States from 1850-60 I was struck
with the paucity Of material which
would serve the purpose of an ami
mated narrative. While consider
ing my materials l was struck with
a statement cited by Herbert Spen-
Ger as an illustration in his 'EPhilos-
ophy Of STYLE" "a modern news
paper statement, though probably
true # quoted in a book as testi-
mony, would be laughed at, but the
letter of a court gossip if written
some centuries ago is thought good
historical evidence" At about the
same time l noticed that Motley
used as one of his main authorities
for the battle of st. Quentin the
manuscript OF an anonymous writer.
From these two circumstances it
was a logical reflection that some
historians might make an exagger-
ated estimate of the value of man
uscript material because it reposed
in dusty archives and could be util-
lied only BY severe labor and long
patience and that, imbued with this
idea, other historians for other pc
RODS might neglect the newspaper
because of its ready accessibsity.-

When once home is regarded as
only place to eat, drink and sleep
in, the work is begun that ends in
gambling houses and reckless de-
grafton. Young people must have
fun and relaxation somewhere; if
they do not find it at home they will
seek it at other and less profitable
places. Therefore, let the fire burn
brightly at night in winter and let
the doors be cheerfulIy thrown open
in summer and make the homestead
delightful with all those little arts
that parents so well understand.

TRAINED WITH A CANE.
His Scheme to Keep Himself From
Forgetting His Umbrella.

There is a young gentleman
whose business Office is not far
from the interior department who
has furnished some amusement to
his friends by appearing on prone
made recently with a rather "dinky"
little stick that he calls a cane.
One popularity about it is that he
seems to have a variety OF such
canes and holds on to them rather
tenaciously whenever he goes into
an Office or any other place of bust
ness.
While all his friends wondered
why he carried such a pygmy stick,
no one cared to chat him about It,
but at last curiosity got the better
Of some Of them, and one Of the
number, who was an old friend Of
the young mans family, was de-
puted to ask him the plain ques-
ton:
'Fwhat do you carry such q cane
for anyhow"
Said an old gentleman, who
thought he had a right to scold
him: "Here you are disgusting your
friends by coming forth every day
or so with a little reed contraption
that you call cane. You're put
ting US all in mind Of a negro min
strel on parade. If you must have
a staff we will make you a present
Of one that won't detract from your
dignity and will be useful if you
must carry cane"

Love is not easily provoked. =
What a panacea for every irritation
ofhome life. How it wards off those
hasty impulses and prevent the es-
cape of harsh rebuke. How it bends
low the heart until the storm passes,
and then how much brighter is the
suns glow when the mist has cleared
away. Let this love illuminate your
home and you will behold in it the
counterpart of heaven.

How Much TO Eat.


Occasionally we hear the question,
How much should we eatT Yet, as
a rule, the average person does not
trouble himself very much on that
score and eats what pampered appe-
lite demands rather than the amount
he actually needs. Dietary specialists
have found from many experiments
that an average man doing average
work requires each day about four and
a half ounces OF proteid, two ounces OF
fat and sixteen ounces OF carbohy.
drate. An average woman doing the
work OF an average housekeeper re-
quires a little less, probably about
three ounces OF proteid. one and half
ounces OF fat and twelve ounces OF
carbohydrate The boy fourteen 20
sixteen years OF age requires four-ffths
as much food as his father. and the
boy or girl OF twelve years should
have half as much food as an adult.
Recently certain specialists have been
able 20 reduce the amount OF proteid
still lower than the above standards,
which are less than those given ten or
twelve years ago But as long as the
present habit OF boiling" food with
insufficient mas,icatlon Is common In
the country II is not safe TO reduce the
amount OF proteid 10 the lowest posi-.
