THE DAUGHTER IN THE HOME.

All, too many mothers make the mis- take of saving their daughters in every way and allowing them 10 do little or nope of the work about the house. when this not oniv means increased labors for the mother. but is short sighted policy for the daughter and particularly for thoae who will in all probability later have, the responsibil. iity of a household on their hands. When daughters in the home reach the age of thirteen or fourteen they ought to take the job Of washing the dishes. much of the sweeping and all of the dusting off their mothers hands. besides being taught to <do the plain sewing and mending caused by their own presence in the home. Many mothers would rather do all this work than show their daughters how. buf when analysed this attitude of the mnthers is usually traceabte to. lack of pains. patience and truesregard for fhe daughters welfare The average girl is willing to help if taught how te do so and made to feel that the as- sistaBoe that she does frenderfis wertt while.

James Russell Lowell. after iis re- turn to Cambridge from bis very sue cessful ambassadorship in London. met in Boston one day an English peer who had been a great friend of his abroad. and he invited the peer out to Cambridge to dinner. About this he had some misgivings, for he lived very simply. keeping only one servant. He even went so far as to say as the horse car tangled Cam bridgeward:
 You know. Lord Blank. we arc very simple people. Mrs. Lowell and l."
 Oh" said the earl. T love simpiic- ity."
 This remark fortified and comforted Lowell It kept up his fortitude even when Mrs. Lowell informed him, when he got home. that there was nothing for dinner but creamed 6sh. But his spirits must have sunk . little when at table he essayed to help the sim- plicity loving peer to the only dish and the latter said politely:
