mind makes it miserable.
There is no surer safeguard
against temptation that comes to
young men and women than love
for home. 1t has brought back and
held many a wanderer in a safe
place. 1t is something not only to
love home but to know that you
love it-and to know that you are
happier at home than in any other
spot on earth.
One may be very happy a while
away from home, but he is very
glad to return to it. The plainest
old familiar dish is better than
the daintiest epicurean bill of
fare abroad. Ones own little
room, with its handy, compact
belongings, is preferable to all the
marble halls, swept through by
silken clad DANES.
Kindness makes sunshine wher-
ever it goes; it is the real law OF
life; the link that connects earth
with heaven. Would you live in
the remembrance of others after
you are gone? Write your name
on the tablets of their hearts by acts
of kindness and love. The noblest
revenge we can make upon our
enemies is to do them a kindness.
1t should be the aim of all to
give the girls just as broad a busi-
ness education as the boys. 1t
makes them capable of taking care
of the family, if such responsi-
tbilfties are placed upon them; 1t
broadens their ideas and makes
them nobler and better. Girls,
as rule, are fully as clear
headed as boy when young, but II as
is the common practice, the girls
are broWght up to do nothing, to
think but little except of dress and
amusements, they fall far behind
the young man, at the age OF
twenty, in mental ability.
Others may love as fOndly, but
never again while time is ours,
shall any ones love be to us as
fond, as tender, as devoted, as
that of our dear old trembling
mother. Through helpless infancy
her .throbbing heart was our safe
protection and support, and
through the ills and maladies
of childhood, her gentle hand
ministered and soOthed as none
other could. We feel animated to
struggle more manfully in the
great battle of life, when we
remember our mothers holy counsel
to us in childhood's early dawn
and in the slippery paths of youth.
|
Ahome where the golden rule is
lived is the nearest possible ap-
proach to heaven. The day comes
all too soon when the household is
scattered-the boys and girls, alas!
girls no longer-are gone to make
homes for themselves, elsewhere;
when some, perhaps, are laid away
from our sight, out of reach of
kind words or helpful deeds.
Happy are we if no sorrOwful
Thoughts haunt US, of hasty words
and unkind deeds, if only pleasant
memories remain. We may, if onr
means allow, make our homes
beautiful and attractive, and it is
well to do so. But without the
true spirit of home, it viii be but
a cheerless and desOlute moekery-
while the humblest cottage where
love dweIls and love reigns, may
most beautifully exemplify the

Each mind makes it's own little

Washington, d. C.-Three IA inch
guns will appear in each of two tur-
rets on the giant battleships Oklaho-
ma and Nevada bids for the construc-
ton of which are to be received by
the navy department next month.
That this innovation is included in
the design of the new vessels has Just
become known and is exciting consd-
cradle interest in. naval circles. No
ship now afloat has more than two
big guns in a turret, and while Italy
and Russia are building several yes
sells with this feature, they will use
II inch rifles.
1t is explained that the primary
purpose Of concentrating guns in few
er turrets is to reduce tonnage. on
the Oklahoma and Nevada the weight
of one great turret will be eliminated
as with the new arrangement only
four turrets will be required for the
main battery of ten 14-inch rifles.
The New York and Texas, now un-
der construction, and which when
commissioned will be the only craft
in the world with IA inch main bat
teries, are designed along the old
lines, with their big guns placed two
in each of five turrets.
