TRY TO BE TEAcHABLE.

Many young man misses the secret
of personal charm, by being unteach-
able Indeed, some young people
rather pride themselves on needing no
lessons, in all this vast and various
world, in order to understand it all.
They are through with their education,
now that they have left school or col
lege. Old peoples advice is "old-
fashioned" or ''tiresome," everyone
who is not of their own circle is dull
or not worth reckoning with.
In conversation or argument they
seek only to impose their own ideas,
not to consider and weigh the thoughts
that others bring. So their minds do
not grow or even remain flexible.
Psychologists tell us, as sure and
sad fact, that the majority of people
learn nothing really new after the age
of twenty-five. The mind which does
not care to learn narrows, and be-
comes set; and its old age sets In
before life is third lived. The body
may remain young, and the mind may
think itself young, but in reality there
is an arrest of mental development.
The habit of learning keeps the mind
young no matter how old the body
grows.

Never by word or deed to signify
that the daughters world and hers
differ, or that one feels the mother is
out of date.
To study her tastes and habits, her
likes and dislikes, and cater to them
in an unobtrusive way.
To bear silently with all her pecul-
iarities and infirmities, which, after
ALL may be the result of life OF
care and toll.
To defer to her opinions, even il
they do seem antiquated and not OBJ
trusively to display the wisdom OF
ones college education.
To do ones best in keeping the
mother youthful in appearance as
we'll as in spirit by overseeing her
costume and the little details of her
toilet.
Not to shock her by turning into
ridicule her religious prejudices, II
they happen to be at variance with
ones own advanced views.
To introduce to her ones friends
and enlist her sympathies in ones
projects, hopes and plans, that once
again she may revive her own youth.
If she be no longer able to take
her accustomed parts in the house
hold duties, never allow her to feel
she is superfuous or has lost her i'm
portance as the central factor of the
home.
To remember her life is monoto-
nous compared to ones own, and to
take her to places of amusement or
for an outing in the country as fire.
Quent as is convenient.
The girl who endeayors to repay
in slight measure what she owes
her mother will be most popular with
those who are worth considering, and,
ten to one, her life will be a success
full one.

THE MAN WHO MUST WIN.

He's the man who from the begin
ming of time has proved to the world
that 1T can be DONE" He's the most
terrific force in humanity, writes H.
Kaufman in Sunshine, the dogged,
smiling Soldier of Hope. He stands
on the firing line until his cartridge
belt is empty, then digs his heels in
the turf, clubs his gun and prepares
for the hand-to-hand encounter. The
length of his fight is the limit Of his
faith. It takes more than one hit to
make him quit. He's never bankrupt
until he has checked out his last
balance of strength. You can hurl
him away, but you can't possibly keep
him away. You can check him, but
he'll always come back. His will is
made of whalebone. It has snap, but
won't snap. Bend it as much as you
please, but watch out for the rebound!
He can't fail; his spirit is guarded by
a burglar-proof combination of resolu-
ton. When the storms drive him
upon the rocks, he builds raft out
of the salvage, floats away, with con-
f1dence for his compass, and always
finds the shore. There's a so horse
power courage back of his ambition.
He's battering ram of purpose
ready to crash against any opposition.
He isn't impressed by the barriers of
precedent, but lunges straight at
them, and proves that half the OBJ
sta n1oS xyhioh hlooHed %hoSo x.,ho anna
before him were mere strips of fancy,
painted by imagination into the
semblance of walls. He isn't always
guided by the losses of others, and
thereby shows how many cutters at
tempted exactly the same things be-
fore. He escapes the consequences
which would overtake coward, be-
cause he doesn't shrink from them.
Consequences, like all other bullies,
take advantage of the weakling. In
stead of nerves, he's stung with nerve,
and his soul is wholesome thing
wherein lies the secret of his power.
He wont be bought off; he can't be
fought off. Back of him is something
stronger than any trial ahead. His
honor is a talisman which keeps him
clean and resistless. There's strange
flaw in his hearing-his ear cannot de-
tect the note of Encouragement, so
his ideals become ideas and not
fancies, and his dreams change to
blue prints from which he builds
reality.

HOW HABITS MAKE RuTS.

Some one has said that habits wear
ruts in the brain. You know what a
rut in road is It is track made
by heavy wheels that have sunk deep
into the soil and depressed it, so that
the rut is seen at a glance. A rut on
the road may be mended and filed up
by patient toll, but rut worn in the
brain cannot easily be repaired.
For instance, if one does not get up
when first called in the morning, but
turns over for another nap, the habit
of late rising will be formed and will
be hard to break. If John or James,
instead of coming when wanted,
answer mothers call by saying, "Just
a minute" and then goes on reading,
playing or lounging, habit of inatten-
tion will, by degrees, make another
rut in the brain. Ill temper, lack of
punctuality, disobedience and a num-
ber Of other evils do this bad thing for
us.
If we are to have ruts in the brain
at all, let them be made by good
habits. On the whole, however, good
habits do not so much make the ruts
as good roads over which we can
travel with safety in the way of life.

UNEXPECTED GUESTS.

One reason why hospitality is exer-
cised with little freedom in these days
is that we are so fettered by conven-
tionality and so resolute in determi-
nation to keep everything at concert
pitch that we are beside ourselves If
people pay us surprise visits. Perhaps
it is as we'll to add that visitor would
better send a message in advance by
post or telegraph, since surprises are
sometimes most inconvenient. If, how
ever, a guest, either a relative or a
friend, comes when it suits her to do
so the resources of any ordinarily
capable housewife should be equal to
this emergency.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
GIVE THEM A PLACE TO PLAY.
(By Denis A. Mccarthy


Plenty Of rooms for dives and dens
(glitter and glare and SIM;
Plenty Of room for prison pens
(gather the criminals I'M;
Plenty of rooms for jails and courts
(willing enough to pay),
But never a place for the lad to race,
no, never place to play!
Plenty of room for shops and stores
(Mammon must have the best);
Plenty of room for the running sores
that rot in the city's breast!
Plenty of room for lures that lead
the hearts of our youth astray;
But never cent on playground spent,
no never place to play!
Plenty of room for schools and halls,
plenty of room for art,
Plenty of room for teas and balls,
platform, stage, and mart.
Proud is the city-she finds a place
for many a fad today;
But she's more than blind if she fails
to find q place for the boys to
play!

A GOOD IDEA.

Down in Newfoundland, says a
writer in the Michigan Catholic, a club
has been formed for the purpose Of
distributing Catholic literature, espec-
tally in isolated districts. Catholic
papers are being sent out in bundles,
and the letters received from the mis-
sionaries tell how welcome these are
to the Catholic who lives miles from
church. I would suggest that the
mothers interest themselves in each
town and get up club to do the
same work. Catholic societies could
have one of their members attend to
this excellent missionary work, or the
members of the girls sodalities ought
to be counselled to do it. Many
fallen-away Catholics might be re-
claimed through the reading OF Cath
olic literature; many mixed marriages
avoided and children would grow up
knowing something of the work of
the clergy in all lands. 1t would be
a most helpful way of spending leis-
ure time and I know there are any
number of mothers and girls, too, who
put In hours in which they neither
read, sew or do anything that's useful,
and either sleep their brains away
or indulge in imaginary ills and griev-
ances. Get to work, mothers, and do
something worth while. This is an
age of reading and of study, and the
Catholic women who fail to read up
on the current questions are in the
background. The Catholic woman who
reads nought of her Church is very
ignorant today.

FOR THE MOTHER.

What does the girl lowe" her
mother?
To manifest an interest in what
ever affects or amuses her.
To seek the mothers comfort and
pleasure in all things before ones
own.
Not to forget, though she may be
old and wrinkled, she still loves pretty
things.
Frequently to make her simple
gifts, and be sure that they are ap-
propriate and tasteful.
To remember she is still girl at
heart, SO far as delicate little atten-
tions are concerned.
To lift the many burden from
shoulders that have grown stopped,
perhaps in waiting upon her girls and
In working for them.
