| Don't Care.

Il don't carel" How often we hear
young people say thisl My yonng
friend, you ought to care aye, you
will care. perhaps, when it is too
late. Don't care" has ruined thous-
ands. 1t has filled jails and aims
houses, and murderer's graves; it
has wrung the hearts of parents
and brought deep bushes to a sis
ter's cheek: il has broken them;
many partake of the blessings they
bring, yet in their enjoyment of
them forget the giver altogether
Learn to be appreciative, and by a
little word of love, kindness and
encouragement, help others, and it
will bring sunshine into your own
life and gladness in all your ways.
The happiest days of our child
hood were those that seemed pleas
ATTEST to our dear mother. Kind
ness and politeneSS are indispensa-
BILE to happy home, There is no
place on earth so delicate and SEN
sitive as home, its fires are easily
kindled; its flowers are easily bruis-
ed. Here our hearts wear no COW
ering; things that in the outside
world pass by in sport, at home
would wound us to the quick. One
bitter word would mar the happi-
ness of home for a whole day, while
pleasant words and acts will bring
peace and pleasure. 1t is too often
the case that kind words and cour,
teOus manners are reserved until
company is ill.," and only careless
manners and sometimes harsh cross
words are used in the every day
home life.
I AS care and attention to garden
is rewarded with choice flowers
and fruits, so the care, love and at.
tention given to a wife gives us
choice children and happier homes

The antiquity of Egypt grows
more and more remarkable with
each discovery of excavators. A
carefully built stone tomb, rooted
with stone beams of forty tons
weight, and containing a great sar-
cophaguS of red granite, has just
been uncovered near the pyramid
of Senefert at Memphis. The tomb
was forty-five feet beneath the pre-
sent surface, and UNREASONABLE
evidence makes it over sixty-five
hundred years old. That a people
capable of building such a tomb
lived in the Nile Valley so long ago
would once have been called impos-
sible. The sarcophagus contained
the bones of a complete body, evi,
IDENTIFY unf1eshed after death, and
wrapped, each bone by itself, in fine
linen.-Youth's Companion.

When Cats Away.

A story is going the rounds that
a certain woman in a neighborinG
town not long ago had occasion to
90 away for a few days visit, and
upon arrival there discovered that
she had lost her watch, which she
thought dropped on the dining room
rug, so she wrote the hired girl at
home as follows:
Let me know if you find any
thing in the dining room"
A few days later she received a
letter from the hired girl saying:
Dear Madam l was to let Nyou
know if l found anything in the
dining room. This is what l found
this morning, thirteen empty beer
bottles, Twenty-Five cigar ends, sew
enty-fve cigarette stubbs, fourteen
blue and thirty-one red poker chips,
a rat, a satin slipper and a merry
widow hat lying under the apple
tree near the hammock" The wife
hired an auto and was at home in
four hours.

The man who says it does no
good to drag the roads ought to
drive off undEagged road onto one
just dragged, at a time when travel
soon after a rain has roughed and

a road drag will almost grade the

this is ripe no road boss should let
