ON MOUNT BEACON

Perhaps you would like to hear
about my trip to Mount Beacon. Four
of us-my sister, a couple of friends
and myself-set out to climb the
mountain on foot. From Newburg
we ferried over to Fishkill, and then
took trolley to the base of the
mountain. We found ourselves at
the foot of the incline railway, the
cars sof which are not running now,
and as we didn't know where to find
the trail we started to climb up be-
side the track. This incline is said
to be the steepest in the world, and
you can imagine the difficulty we had
in crawling over the rocks and OBJ
structions of that formidable slope.
I couldn't say how long it took us
to reach the top, but we rested about
every i've minutes, and Travelled very
slowly besides. The hotel and cot
tages were all closed and we had the
place to ourselves. After admiring
the view and walking around lit
tie we discovered a rustic summer
house, where we ate the luncheon we
had brought.
Wandering around afterward we
came across an old man who lives
there as caretaker during the winter
His only companions are dog and a
cat He seemed glaG to see us, and

New York Wants Meat.

In an uptown restaurant Tip asked
the tall Danish waiter If the boycott
on meat was making more people eat
vegetables. "We walters hear and
read about the boycotters, but New
York people would eat meat If it
cost a dollar a pound" said Hans.
Tip then asked about people who
never eat meat, and Hans quickly
said These vegetarians all look
sickly, and are most cranky. They
eat beans baked in pork grease, cab
bages cooked with corned beef,
spinach, rice, eggs and pies with
crust made out of hogs lard and beef
leaf. One talked me into it, and
tried vegetables only for three days.
/ would sit down and eat all / could
hold, and at twice the expense of
beef and potatoes, and an hours
work made me weak and as hungry
as ever. A waiter can't stand on his
feet without meat to eat. Four kinds
of vegetables do not fill man up
as much as two eggs and some
bread New York Press.

TO SWEEP A ROOM.

To sweep a room is little-but to
get it ready for sweeping takes some
time.
Each upholstered piece of furni-
ture should be carefully brushed and
plain polished surfaces wiped with
slightly damp cloth, then rubbed with
dry one and moved out of the room.
A paint brush is excellent to re-
move the dust that will lodge in
carved parts, or if in crevices a very
tiny brush or wooden skewer can be
used. If there are mouldings at the
top of the wall, use a long-handled
brush if it is perfectly clean. If it
isn't, tie duster over it. Brush the
ceilings and walls in the same way. /
Do not open the windows till the
actual sweeping is finished, or the
current of air will scatter the dirt
over the room again
Sprinkle salt or tea leaves on tha
floor and work from the corners to
the centre Of the room. The stroke
should be long, the broom always on
the floor pushing the dirt before it,
not setting it in motion by swinging
it around.-New York Herald.

The Fourteen Errors Of Life.

The fourteen mistakes of life,
Judge Rentoul told the Bartholomew
club, are:
To expect to set up our own stand

everybody to conform to it.
To try to measure the enjoyment
of others by own own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To look for Judgment and expert
ence in youth.
To look for Judgment and expert

To endeavor to mold all disposi-
thons alike
Not to yield to unimportant trifies.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others
about what can not be remedied.
Not to alleviate if we can all that
&eeds alienation.
Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
To consider anything impossible
that we can not ourselves perform.
To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
To live as if the moment, the
time, the day were so important that
it would live forever.
To estimate people by some out
side quality, for it is that within
which makes the man.-London

A WONDERFUL LAND.

Oh. Grandma town is a wonderful land,
With paths that lead everywhere;
Where children wander hand in hand,
Some silxen shod, some little feet bare:
There are stories for boys and stories for
girls,
OF fairies and fuffies and "boog-ley
hoos,
OF little Bo-Peep with her hair in curls,
And Cinderella with tiny glass shoes
There are kisses for bruises and hugs for
pains,
And the sweetest of cookies to drive
away tears;
There are walks that lead through fowery
lanes,
And lullaby songs that Danish fears.
There are stores of goodies in Grandma
town,
A room full of dollies short and tall,
Or animal toys with soft coats of brown,
And there's grandma herself, which is
best of all.

A LEssoN IN sELF-coNTRoL.

+
One day jamie was down in the
yard helping mamma to hang out the
clothes. To be sure, jamie wasn't big
enough to help very much. She
couldn't lift even one end of the
heavy basket. But she could hand
mamma the towels and small pieces,
one at q time, and pick up clothes
pins that dropped and be ready to
run errands. She enjoyed helping
mamma as much as she could, If she
wasn't very big, and she meant to
help still more when she was older.
Pretty soon they heard baby May
laughing the merriest little laugh.
They had left her asleep upstairs,
and there were so many folks in the
house that they thought she would
be we'll taken care of. But papa was
busy in the kitchen, thinking Pof1T
would play with baby when she
awoke, while Dear and Polly, think
ing big sister was in charge, had
gone off to carry out certain plans
of their own.
So, as often happens, what was
everybody's business proved to be no.
body's business, and here was baby
May standing all by herself, away UP
at the head of the long, back stairs,
throwing down clothespins as fast as
she could. What fun she was hav-
ing! Every time she threw one down
she stood on her tip-toes and lurched
forward until it seemed as though
she would surely follow it down the
long flight. How she laughed and
crowed at the bouncing, rafting
noise they made!
But mamma and jamie did not feel
at all like laughing. jamie would
have screamed out in terror when she
saw the precious baby in such dam
ger, but one look from mamma s
white face made her stop before she
began.
"Hush!' said mamma quietly.
Not a word, not a sound of fear =
Then, as fast as she could without
startling baby, she hurried across the
lily to little May all the while, calling
her all the pet names in the diction-
airy of baby talk, just as she was
used to.
Baby thought it was all part of
the game, and crowed and shouted,
and threw dozens of clothespins down
on her smiling mamma. She didn't
know what a prayer there was be-
hind that smile, nor that those arms
were opened wide to catch her if she
should fall before the stair top was
reached. At last she was caught up
and Rugged close to heart full of
thanksgiving, and jamie, feeling rath-
er limp after those moments of sus-
pense, was glad to creep into that
embrace also.
Little daughter" said mamma,
learn self-control from this expert
ence. If you or I had cried out or
frightened baby by letting her see
that we were frightened, she would
have started and fallen down those
long stairs, without a doubt. The
people who do brave deeds and who
save lives are not the ones who
scream the minute anything goes
wrong. A man or woman, or even
little child, can stay brave and
calm, and think what is the wisest
thing to do and how to keep others
from becoming frightened, and SO be
very, very helpful. But one who
screams and behaves foolishly does
no good at all, and may do very great
harm by frightening other people. -

Old Country Dance.

The cushion dance was originally
an old country dance in triple time,
which was introduced into court at
the time of Elizabeth. The dance
was very simple. A performer took a
cushion and after dancing for a few
minutes stopped and threw the cush-
ion before one of the spectators. The
one SO selected had to kneel on the
cushion and allow the dancer to kiss
her. After which he repeated the
dance.
