WORDS TO THINK OF.

Work is no dishonor, and lazness is
no credit to any one. 1t is good and
proper to have good wages; but half
pay is much better than moth ny, and
even working for nothing is far better
than laziness and vice. The devil al
ways finds employment for the idle and
vicious. Idleness is the hegetter of
crime. 1t is degrading and demoraliz-
ing in it's tendencies, and criminal in
its results. The idle are always easily
tempted, and their very dependence
makes them ready and willing victims
to temptations. There is no true man
hood without independence. Fashion
is great and frivolous folly. He whose
individuality is swallowed upin fashion,
folly, or society, has lost that which he
may never see again, and without
which his life must be vain and aim.
less one. He who restrains himself
from Injuries may help others in me-
cessities. He who helps others may
look to Providence to help him in his
hour of pressing need. Difficulties are
placed in our way that we may over
come them, and pass through conflict
to victory, and through victory to
triumphs. Pride goes before destruc-
ton, but honor and nobleness and in
dependence Of soul are approved by
our Maker and are profitable to man
kind.

French Audience. True TO Natural

Attempt at Joke.

Mr. Harry Fragson tells good
story Of an experience he had while
on tour in France.
II was about Christmas.tme when
he found himself at a small town
where he was billed to sing while he
played n grand piano.
In French n grand piano is a piano
queue, and when he appeared on
the stage with the only thing avail
able a cottage piano, the audience
were fairly emphatic in their request
to know where was the piano queue.
MIR Fragson could see that unless
something were done there would be
trouble. and a bright idea came to
him.
On the following evening, when he
appeared on the stage, the loud muir.
murs. were renewed, and the same
question asked with. If nothing, more
emphasis.
Then Mr.. Fragson walked to the
front of the stage and informed them
that he was very sorry the small
space would not admit of anything
larger than a cottage piano

TEACHING COURTESY.

We are told that charity begins at
home, bat true charity does not remain
at home all the time!"
The same might we'll be said of good
manners and courteous dealings with
those we meet
the best way to teach child good
manners is to show by personal ex-
ample just what you mean. If you
ould have thechild act in courteou
manner toward you and other people,
act that way toward him yourself.
If you do not respect childs feel
ings, he will not have any respect for
you, and will soon treat other folks in
the same disrespectful way.
The mother who shouts at her little
girl will very shortly hear the child
shouting at her dolls, then the other
little girls, and, finally, at the mother.
Try it and see. If you cannot try it,
just keep your eyes and ears open and
you'll see that it is only too true.
A boy whose father comes home and
finds fault with the food which his wife
prepares need not expect his manners
TIC improve unless he follows out some
other influences than those taught by
his fathers actions. And the unfortun-
ate mother Of that mans children has
an almost hopeless task before her
should she undertake to teach her
children good table manners.
The child will initiate for better or
for worse-and it is certainly marvel
Gus how much more of the worse he is
able to acquire in a given length of
time.
Remember this, the next time you
have an opportunity to observe the
manners of children, and see if you
cannot discover the source of their in
formation-per the example of their
parents.-John Watson Whyte, in Pitts
burgh Leader.

OUTDOOR LIFE.

1t is very certain that all the phys
zeal universe takes the side of health
and activity, wooing us forth unto ma
ture, imploring us hourly, and in I'M
suspected ways, to receive her blessed
breath into body and soul, and share
in her eternal youth. For this are
summer and winter, seed-time and
harvest given; for this do violet and
blood-root come, and gentian and witch
hazel go; for this do changing sunsets
make yon path between the pines n
gateway into heaven; for this does day
shut us down within the loneliness of
its dome of light, and night lifting it,
makes us free Of the vast fellowship of
stars; for this do pale meteors wonder
nightly, soft as wind-blown blossoms,
transform the wintery woods to fea-
thery things that seem too light to
linger and yet loo vast TO take their
flight; for this does all the fair creation
answer to every dream or mood of
man, so that we receive but what we
give. All Is offered TO us to call us
from our books and our trades and
summon us into natures health and
Joy. TO study, with the artist, the
least of her beauties; to explore, with
the man OF science, the smallest OF her
wonders; or even simply to wonder
among her eXhaustless resources, like

ed from the eye-this feeds body, and
brain, and heart, and soul together.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A we'll told story is
welcome sunbeam in sick room. The
world Is too busy to care for your ills
and sorrows. Learn TO keep your own
troubles to yourself. Learn to stop
croaking. II you cannot see any good
in the world, keep the bad to yourself
Learn to hide your pains and aches
under pleasant smiles. No one cares
whether you have the earache, head
ache, or rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears
do well enough in novels but are out
OF place In real life. Learn to meet
your friends with smile. A good
humored man or woman is always well
come, but the dys peptic is not wanted
anywhere and is nuisance as well.
Above all, give pleasure. Lose no
chance Of giving pleasure. You win
pass through this world but once. Any
good thing, therefore, that you can
show to any human being, you had
better do now; do not defer or neglect
it, for you will not pass this way again.

Once there was man in In
diana who was very covetous.
He had great stores of wealth
and owned many farms. A poor
relative lived between two of his
farms, and when he would go to
one of the farms the way led d.
rectly by the home of the poor
relative, who afterward became
sick and in great need. The rich
and covetous man who owned
the farms began going a differ
ent route to the farm which lay
beyond the home of the poor
sick relative. The new route
led him considerable distance
out of the way. His brother,
noticing this, morning after
morning, one day said to him:
"Zeze, how does it come that of
late you 60 so far out of your
way to get to your farm?" After
some hesitation he said, "Well,
will tell you; you know our
relative over there is sick, and
in very poor circumstances, and
if l go by his house I cannot
help but see his needs, and I
do not feel like giving him any
thing, and you know the Bible
says, Whose hath this worlds
goods, and seeth his brother
have need, and shutteth up his
bowels Of compassion from him,
how dwelleth the love Of God in
him?' And if I 60 by his house

leaves about their heads for the sake
Of protection from the sun. Later

pended BY the stem, which they hold
in their jaws, and that columns OF
