HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
"THE COMFORT OEIT. },

Nowhere, in all the world, can a
woman be such power as in the home;
andsall recognize this fact, and that a
home in the true sense of the word is
impossible without the feminine touch.
1t seems possible, sometimes, for an
e1eminate man to make things in
degree honey" but only the true,
feminine touch can give to the habita-
ton its most wonderful charm. With
out it, there is always lacking.
Sometimes | dream of the ''cave" moth
er of the long ago ages, VINO loving
scraped together the leaves of the for
est and the grasses of the fields for beds
and couches of ease for the man and
the little ones who came to her. |
often wish | could know what the I'M
developed mind thought, and | long to
follow her throughout the day as she
passed from one duty to another, max
ing a secure hiding place for the little
human creatures for which her life
was so freely given. There was love
in those rude cave homes, too, if only
the crude love of the animal for its
mate and its young; and | fancy it was
the maternal, rather than the wifely
love, that kept her tC her often arduous
duties of provisions and love of home
a habitation where our choicest possess
sions may be safely kept, whether the
material or the emotional. Down deep
in the nature of every woman is the
instructive longing for love, wifehood
and motherhood, however feebly it
may burn, and nothing except brutal
abuse can ever utterly quench its
light. The women now developing
through the transitional stage of the
age are just as home-loving as her sis
ters of long ago; but she has learned
some hard lessons, and her ideals have
expanded. She works just the same
as the long-gone cave sister, in the
same lines, but not in the same ruts.
Wherever the woman is, whether
there be mate or child, or loneliness,
the home shows through-a touch here
and there of the hngortips, and under
meath it all, we find the home mother
the cave woman. Many women, wise
and good and beautiful, true, gentle,
atfectionate, sympathetic and cheerful
are neither wives nor mothers by law
or by nature; but every woman is a
home maker in some degree Elk.

Let us learn to tip our hats as POI
litely to the young lady who sews for
n living or earns it by any honest toll
rs to the one who teaches French or
chews gum in seven different langu-
ages. Let us give rs warm n clasp of
the hand to the honest tiller of the
soil, the fireman or brakeman as we do
TO the lawyer or doctor. Let us recog-
nize honesty and industry wherever
found, and the time will soon come
when there will be an army of bright,
intelligent, honest young men and wo-
men at the bottom Of the ladder, ready
TO labor at any honorable calling. Let
US remember that the most beautiful
lives have blossomed in the darkest
places, as pure, white lilies full of fra
GRANGE in the Shiny, stagnant waters.
Wealth, birth, and official station may

extreme, superficial courtesy; but they
never did nor never can command the
reverence of the heart. The most

shady nook; so the most beautiful lives
are often found hidden in an humble

THERE'S ROOM AT THE BOTTOM

THERE'S ROOM AT THE BOTTOM.
Many and weighty are the editorials
that have been written on "I'here is
Always Room at the Top" Our great
est writer's have pointed young men to
the top round of the ladder. This is
well, but it is time to call a halt.
There are too many at the top and
none at the bottom.
There's room at the top has been
preached 10y our preachers;
Been sung by our poets and taught by
our teachers,
Until by such teaching, grown wiser
and sadder
We have almost forgotten the foot OF
life's ladder"
Yong men have a desire to enter
some profession. They imagine that
only lawyers, editors or politicians ever
reach the top Of the ladder. Young
ladies who have from youth been point
ed to the top of the ladder, shun the
dish pan and broom as they would the
cholera. The piano and music books,
to speak French correctly and waltz
gracefully they consider the only step
ping stones leading to the top of the
ladder. The time has come when it is
almost impossible to find young man
or young woman at the foot of the lad
der, willing to labor at any calling that
is honorable and earn living by the
sweat of their brow.
"Theres room at the bottom, O men
of stations
BE not drawn aside by their trite tier
ations
From the commonplace duties which
lie at the bottom,
High places are quite hard to hold
when you've got EN-"
Multiplied scores of young men who
are complete failures in the various
professions would have successfully fol-
lowed the pillow handles, or rs engineers
might now be "holding down" fast
mail train. But too many imagine
they cannot climb the ladder if their
fingers are soiled. They forget that
"The road at the top leads DER roclSi-
est lodges,
Who climbs must hold on by the rag
gedest edges,
And many man who has missed his
vocation
Is brought to himself by bad disloca-
ton"
