Smiles slould be the legal tender
in every family for the payment Of
all debts of kindness and each NELL
Der should be willing to take this
currency at its face value.
A great many more young men and
women are set upon the road to ruin
by money than by poverty. AS a
rule the deyii wants no better chance
at boys and girls than to have their
pockets filled with cash and then ST t
down at Some fashionable resort.
Rest is all right ;revelry is all wrong.
Don repress the broyant spirit OF
your children; half an hour of merri-
ment around the lamp and freight
of home bots out many care and
annoyance during the day, and the
best safeguard they can take with
them into the world is the unseen IN
fluence CT bright little domestic
circle.
There is no fault so bard to over.
come as the hasty temper. We may
make any number Of good res olutions
and then the first time we have any
away we go without an
instant's warning, and before we
realize what we are doing the unkind
words have been spokeo, and no mat
ter how much regret we feel they
cannot be unsaid.

The wages of women were never
so high as now, yet it is almost i'm
possible to procure the services of a
good woman at any price, for the
reason that labor is looked upon as
d egrading. Young women turn TO
all sorts of office work. where snares
and temptations beset them, because
they can dress better and keep their
hands whittier than they can when do
ing kitchen work.
Parents should always bear in
mind that the daughters health is
far more important than anything
else, education without health avails
but little. The physical training is
far reaching in its influence; every
thing depends upon it; whatever else
may be a girls desire or ambition let
her health receive the first consider
alton.
Let our homes be places of love,
JOY and brightest sunshine, places of
love that outlasts the we'd
ding day, and which produces a life
of one long unbroken honeymoon, the
place of character, a place
where the child breathes an atmos-
phere perfumed by the choicest flow
ers of heaven, where it finds the
greatest earthly security in mothers
loving, fostering care.
Many time a cheerful hon and
happy face does more to NAL good
m N and won en- than all the learning
and eloquence that can be used. 1t
his been said that the sweetest words
10 our language are Mother, home
and Heaven, and one might almost
say the word homo includes them all,
f)r who Gao think of home without
remembering the gentle mother who
it by her presence?

If we are unstable and dcceittul, our
children know 1t aud despise us. If
we are cruel and critical, our children
know it aud fear us. If we are tender
and honest, our children know it and
love US. If we are wise and noble
hearted, opr children GnOw it and
worship us Words may count with
strangers or even with neighbors,
but with our children, who SEQ us
live, they stand for naught.
Kind words do not cost much
They are quickly spoken. They do
not blister the tongue that ntters
them. They have never been repen-
ted Of. They Go not keep US awake
till midnight. 1t is easy to scatter
them. And OF, how much good the y
may do! They do good to the person
from whose lips they fall. TLey will
smooth down the rough places in our
natures.
We have to admit that the Home
Circle department may be little
partial TO wives and mothers, the
Queens of ou.' home 1t is written
and published in their interest Now
here are few facts on the husbar d
and fathers side that may be of in
terest to the entire home circle. Now
the writer loves and appreciates all
that is best in womanhood and girl
