DAY-DREAMlNG.

81 have made up my mind" said
Bert as he left Ralph, Ito give up my
habit of day-dreaming. Half the time
in school l am thinking of something
else when a question comes to me-
and before can collect my thoughts
it has been passed to the next. If
had your way of paying attention
should make many more points in the
years record than do. How did you
learn to keep your mind on one thing
at a timer"
Ralph smiled. II suppose my mind
is better disciplined than yours, Bert
for I never allow a subject to be side
tracked when I am busy with it. If
am in the history class / am not
thinking of Caesar. If I am recitins
in philosophy, I do not wander of tt
astronomy. You can compel YOU
mind to pay attention if you are will
ing to be firm and determined. Yor
are quite right in deciding to give NJ
day-dreams."

PEARLS WE MAY HAVE.

Life on earth would not be worth
much If every source of irritation
were removed Yet most of us rebel
against the things which irritate us,
and count as heavy loss what ought
to be rich gain.
We are told that the oyster is
wiser; that when an irritating object,
like bit of sand, gets under the
mantle" of his shell, he simply COW
ers it with the most precious part of
his being, and makes of it pearl.
The irritation that it was causing is
stopped by incrusting it with the
pearly formation. A true pearl, there
fore, is simply victory over irrita-
ton.
Every irritation that gets into our
lives today is an opportunity for
pearl culture. The more irritations
the devil filings at us, the more pearls
we may have. We need only to well
come them and cover them complete
ly with love, the most precious part
of us, and the irritation will be smoth-
cred out as the pearl comes into
being. What store of pearls we
may have, if We will!

THINGS AS THEY ARE.

How many times there has been in
your life something to which you
have looked eagerly forward for
months, and of which, when it came,
the realization came far short of the
anticipation? For most of us this has
happened over and over again. But
1t is when we are young that the dis
appointments of such experiences are
most keen and most bitter to endure.
It is hard then for US to stop and ask
ourselves philosophically why things
are so. Since there is good God
over us, we must know that to have
things as they are is the wisest and
best for us.
The younger we are when we grasp
this truth, the sooner do we realize a
little what the real meaning of life is
not an existence of pleasure, where
happiness is the chief aim, but an ef-
fort and growth, in which the i'm
portant outcome is the character we
form This continuous looking for
ward, and this continuous failure of
full realization of the things for which
we long, is what gives and keeps alive
in us the quality Of hope, without
which we would not have the zeal for
the ever-onward process from which
character comes.

he noticed that his companion took
no heed of the stage, but with his
hands concealed beneath his cloak,
seemed to busy himself with entirely
other matters.
Suddenly Napoleon grabbed the
hand of the page and found in it-a
rosary. The prince, not knowing the
sentiments of his sovereign, was
greatly annoyed at the detection and
prepared for a severe reprimand.
But he was greatly mistaken. Ma
poleon treasured him, saying:
Il am glad to see that you are
above this miserable play. You have
the proper spirit and the stuff for the
making of a great man. Continue re-
citing the rosary; I shall not disturb
you again.
His words proved to be prophetic.
The page did really become a great
man. Years after that visit to the
theater Prince Rohan was created
Archbishop of Besancon, and shed
luster upon his diocese by his truly
apostolic labors and his life of piety
and self-sacrifce.

HOW TO SPOIL CHILDREN.

Laugh at their faults; encourage
white lies; give them their own way;
tell them pretty untruths; give them
what they cry for; shout at the top Of
your voice at them; never encourage
their efforts to do better; fly into a
passion with them if they break some
trit1e by accident; don't enter into
their games; when they ask for infor-
nation tell them to be quiet; let them
think the streets are the best place to
play; never take any notice Of their
childish sorrows. Don't have any toys
or playthings tossed around the house;
don't bother yourself inviting to your
house the children of the houses they
go to; don't trouble inviting their COM
panions to your house. Always take
their part against their teacher; try
to forget as much as possible that you
were once young yourself. Get
servants to teach them their prayers,
and don't trouble how they say them;
send them to Mass and the sacraments
and don't go with them; and later,
take no notice whether or not they go
to communion by themselves.

NERVOUS TENSION.

We do not always realize the strain
each child is on, but the nervous ten
sion is expressed in several ways
the hot face, the cold hands, the un-
naturally brilliant eyes, the ebb and
flow of color, the absolute and al
most pathetic rigidity of the body.
The child's whole nature is keyed up,
and it is this great strain and ten
sion that prepare the way for sleep
lessness, cold and acute indigestion,
all likely to follow the dancing class
day or the party" Cold is taken in
that time Of sudden lowering vitality
which follows high nervous tension,
and indigestion comes through the
nerves of the stomach, which are too
tired and generally disturbed to do
their work. Sleeplessness also is the
result of too much strain upon the
Imagination.
The harm is not in the dancing
class or in parties, or in trying to
learn to be accomplished in one way
or another. The harm is in doing all
these things too soon, in forcing the
dawn and quiet and unpreparedness
of childhood with morsels as indigest
ible to the nerves and mental atmos
phere of the child as cheese and plum
pudding would be to his physical
state.

81 amt scared to-" said Jimmy.

81 amt scared to-" said Jimmy.
Bet you are!"
"Bet I aint!"
II dare you tot"
Jimmy was one of those chaps who
never take a dare" and what did he
do but race into the street right in
front of the big, swift-moving car. The
driver screamed for Jimmy to go back
but Jimmy wasn't going to be
'bluffed," and on he went. The heel
of his shoe caught on the farther rail,
and the result was that Jimmie went
home minus one leg.
Now, do you think anyone called
Jimmy brave? To tell the actual
truth, a big, outspoken grocer, who
stood in front of his shop, and saw
the occurrence, said:
1.-THE boy was silly to cross the
track just because the other boys
dared him to-
This was harsh, but not unfair,
judgment. Jimmy was, to say the
least, very silly to risk his life rather
than take a dare"
Another afternoon number of boys
were playing around very tall build
ing, the walls of which had just been
completed. The workmen were away,
and one of the boys said:
who's afraid to climb to the top
of those walls and walk around on
them?"
I'm not" said another boy.
Dare you to-"
This boy also refused to take a
dare" and the result was that they
carried him home dead a little later.
These are not imaginary cases.
This isn't courage. It is foolishness,
and when boys come to grief through
it, they get little sympathy. When a
boy risks his life solely for the pur'
pose of Showing off," he is silly.
When he risks it to save other lives
he is brave.
There is another kind of courage
some boys are not so eager to display
who make no response when someone
| asks:
who's afraid to do right?"
1t often requires a great deal more
courage for boy to tell the simple
| truth than it requires to risk ones
| life in some foolish undertaking to
crafty ones vanity.
Who's afraid to do right under all
conditions? Who's afraid to tell the
exact truth, no matter what the con
sequences may be? Who's afraid to
risk being ridiculed in order to be
true to ones self? Who's afraid to
follow the leadings of conscience?
Here is true test of courage, boys!
Here's a chance to be genuinely
brave. Here's a chance to achieve a
victory worth thousand times the
victory a boy achieves when he runs
in front of moving car just to "show
Off" A boy shows that he has goot
common sense when he declines to dc
thing of that kind.

THE QUEER CLOCK.

When things go just certain way,
AS steady as can be, --
They're regular as a clock" we say;
Now, that's what puzzles me.
A clocks not regular at all;
l know this for fact
So don't depend upon it when
You want to be exact.
Now our clock, why, it's just as sure,
When I am having fun,
And bedtime hour is drawing near,
To break into a run!
And through the night it gallops on,
Until, to my surprise,
It's morning, and I know that
Have hardly closed my eyes.
Then when go to see the boys
I often wonder why
The hours go by so very fast,
They seem to fairly fly.
But then, sometimes, when I'm in
school,
It's just the other way;
The old clock goes so slow, so slow,
1t seems the longest day!
And when it's near vacation time,
That is the worst of all;
It's slower than the slowest snail;
1t scarcely seems to crawl!
A clocks not regular" at all;
I know this for a fact
So don't depend upon it when
You want to be exact

TO YOUTH GROWN OLD.

What canst thou give, o Gifted, in
return
For all the splendors that were
shown to thee?
How oft at sunrise thou in ecstacy,
Didst see the sky and autumn naples
burn!
Thou canst recall, perhaps, when thou
didst learn
That God had made thee like to
Him, and free
To be thyself, and gave thee hope
to be
Fit for the heights for which thy soul
didst yearn;
And now at sunset, eyes upon the
ground,
Thou hast forgot and know'st not
gratitude.
All, dwell upon the glory in thy
It's red and gold; think not upon the
mound
That shall enclose thee, lest to thee
intrude,
Self-pity and self-love to gloom thy
way!

POOR OLD MOTHER.

The old gentleman who visits us
now and then attended funeral the
other day. The body, he says, rested
in magnificent coffin. There were
flowers from sorrowing sons and
daughters. There were tears and
wringing of hands. And the old
woman with her eyes closed in death
neither saw flowers dgDr heard the
grief. She had worked hard and de-
prived herself of many things to give
the children an education. She asked
no better recompense than to see
them good men and women. But
when she was feeble and going down
into the valley she was paid back with
indifference and neglect. The sons
wife did not like the old Woman-she
did not have convent accent. The
SON himself was too busy to whisper
a word of love to the old mother,
who went her way not protesting, for
the maternal heart breaks without ut
terance. And when she died there
were flowers and professions of affec-
ton. One thing, however, that these
children will always hear is the &C.
cusing voice of conscience that will
scourge them while life lasts and that
will tell them how they threw away
the purest and best thing this side oil
heaven-the love of good mother
They miss, when too late, the wealth
of self-sacrifice that was theirs, the
affection that was poured out unceas
ingly upon them. And in their hearts
they will regret that when they could
they did not give the poor old mother
a word Of love and of tact and oil
help.

not to rub the eye with the cinder in
it, but to rub the other as vigorously
as you like.
A few months ago / was riding on
the engine of fast express, says a
traveller. The engineer threw open
the front window of the cab, and I
caught cinder in my eye which gave
me intense pain. / began to rub the
eye desperately, when the engineer
called to me, Let that eye alone and
rub the other one."
Thinking he was chatting me,
only rubbed the harder.
Il know the doctors think they
know it all, but they don't, and if you
will let that eye alone and work on
the other one you will soon have the
cinder out" shouted the engineer.
1 did as he directed, and soon felt
the cinder down near the inner can
thus and made ready to take it out.
Let it alone and keep at the well
eye," again shouted the engineer.
I did so for a minute longer, and
then, looking into a small glass the
engineer handed me, l saw the Of
fender on my cheek. I have tried it
many times since, always with sue
cess.

THE HEART WHERE KINDNESS
DWELlS.

There's beauty in the glorious sky
Where morn her rosy hues display
And when, at even the western clouds
Reflect in gold the suns last rays.
The star-bespangled heaven is fair,
But there's beauty far excels
Nights brilliant gems or gorgeous
clouds
IT'S in the hearts where kindness
dwells.
A summer rose is fair to me,
With pearly dewdrops glittering
bright,
And beautiful the sweet spring flow
ers,
Blue violets and lilies white;
They lend rich fragrance to the
morn;
OF innocence and joy it tells!
I love them well, but dearer far
I love the heart where kindness
dwells.
love the flowers of summer birds,
And murmurs low of ripping
streams,
And fairy music which so oft
Comes softly stealing through my
dreams.
But something hath a magic power
Surprising music's sweetest spells;
IT'S the low voice whose gentle tones
Gush from the heart where kindness
dwells.
