SULPHUR SHOWERS.
Not Sulphur at All, Only the Pollen
Grains of Pine Trees.


Grains of Pine Trees.
Many persons are aware that In
spring, and especially in early spring,
1t happens that after shower the
edge Of every pool of water in the
streets and along the sidewalks will be
bordered by a rim of pale yellow color.
AS the water evaporates this ring re-
mains as fine powdery mass. so much
resembling sulphur as to have given
rise to the name sulphur showers" !"
This so called sulphur is, of course, not
sulphur at all. When examined under
the microscope 1t is found to be made
up Of mass of the yellowish pollen
grains of pine trees.
Instead Of consisting of a single cell,
as do most pollen grains, that of the
pine consists of three cells, the two
larger end ones being filed with air
and the other containing the ordinary
fertillzing principle, The two air con-
tanning cells are larger than the other
and act as balloons to buoy it up In the
air.
In pines and allied trees fertilization
Of the cones, by which they are en-
abled to set and develop. seeds, Is ac-
complished by the wind-that is. the
pollen is produced In immense quanti
ties and Is transported through the air
to the cones, which are often on sep
arate, widely distant trees. Thus II
often happens that the pollen gets up

carried for long distances and is only
brought down to the earth by the rain

DANCING AWAY GOLDEN HOURS.

Our young people must be taught
that "all is not gold that glitters," and
that fine dress does not make the man
or woman" We must begin right if
we expect to rear children up to con-
tentment and happiness. Teach them
to be industrious and not idle away
their lie. There are so many young
people today thatare living on in the
present, dancing away golden hours,
when they should be thinking, study
ing and working. Girls should be
taught how to manage and keep house
while with mother. AS she grows old
err let the mantle gradually fall from
mothers shoulders on to hers, and when
she is called TO home of her own she
will not feel at loss. She will know
how and where to begin. We know
there are mothers now toiling to keep
grown girls from work when they are
able and would willingly do it, had they
not been brought up with the idea in
stilled into their heads that young la
dies must not mar their beauty by
work. A girl can never have IA better
chance to show Off her charms than by
presiding over the home. A mother
should teach her daughter that her
place, when not at school, is at her
mothers side, helping her provide
comforts for the family, not in reading
novels and riding bicycles, When our
girls are brought up to be INDUSTRIOUS
sensible women we will hear less com
plant of having to work hard, and less
complaint Of their husbands. 1t man
is poor he is obliged to work hard TO
! supply his family with substantial food
and clothing, and II his wife is true
woman she will be his helpmate and
the world will hear no complaint.

HOMECIRCLE COLUMN.
SERMON FOR PARENTS.

SERMON FOR PARENTS.
The following sermon that appeared
in one of our exchanges is worthy of
careful reading. 1t is said chat Chief
Benrendt, of Lansing, Mich, caused
some tongue wagging at the pow-wow
of police chiefs in Washington the
other day when he said that il the
mothers of the country paid more atten-
ton to their daughters there would be
fewer women in the underworld.
"As the trig is bent the tree is inclin-
ed. What is your theory of twig bend
ing?
Once on a time there was parent
who believed the way to rear children
was to rule them by fear. The pet
weapon of discipline in that home was
the lath with a nail in it, When a
young one did something that the par
ent didn't like, out came the lath and
there were threats lawful punishment.
| Result:
One child, daughter, ran away with
a good-for- nothing.
One boy became "souse."
Another son got away from home as
soon as he could and under the guild
ance of friendly uncle, became fair
sort of man.
The ath and nail policy didn't score
a single victory.
You have no doubt met mothers who
are always tbbing to their offspring.
If they're going to spend az evening
out they don't say so frankly; but they
try to make the little ones believe that
their absence is only for n moment,
only while they go around the cor
ner."
How does this policy work? ISM it
true that in the majority of cases The
children find out that mother did not
tell the truth and decide that if moth.
er can flo, they can too.
Then again, there is the policy of
over fondness, of spelling indulgence.
You know what that produces, chill
dren selfish and self-wlled, nuisances
when young and quite likely to become
rascals and menaces when grown up.
just about as bad, judged 10y results,
is the policy of continual nagging; of
don't do this" and don't do that
don'ts multiplied so habitually that
none of them have any meaning and
the only consequence is the break
down of parental discipline. For child
ren like older folks, lose respect for
eternal naggers and fault finders. Can
you blame them?
Chief Behrendt does timely service
in putting II whole lot of the response
bility for girls wrong doing on care
less and incapable mothers. The host
of tlirty young ships on every city street
curing the summer evening, most all
of them bedaubed with paint and pow
der and reckless in pursuit of the my
thical good time" offer living proofs
that many mothers are Sinking their
jobs.
We don't know that there is paten
prescription for bringing up children,
1t is pretty much an individual prob
lem.
But if you think back to what you
liked best in your own childhood and
apply its lesson TO your own children
we guess you won't be likely to go very
far wrong. You liked kindness and
hopefulness and appeals to your hon
est best, didn't you? And down In
your heart you pretty generally knew
that, however much it hurt, punish
ment given sadly but firmly for mis-
deed for which you had been fully
warned was not only deserved, but also
a means of adding to your respect tor
the trusted one who administered il, -
Well, there's a tip.
