Do let the children feel that they
are mothers most cherished posses
sion, and that home is place to be
happy in.
Do learn to hold your tongue when
vexed or angry. A muzzle applied at
the right moment would prevent many
a family discord and heal many a
wounded heart.
Do remember that very little thing
may work marvel. a kiss has chang
ed the destiny of men and women.
Do beware of scolding the silent
man. a man who can hold his tongue
under provocation is worthy of admi-
ration, veneration and devotion
Do cultivate sense of humor, that
peace and merriment may dwell in
thy house, and the little annoyances
that darken the day will disappear as
a morning mist before the sun.
Do not feel offended if he who asks
advice fails TO follow it. What is wis
dom in US may prove folly i'll another.
Do see little of your neighbors and
the outside world. A housebound wo-
man is generally dull woman, and
often cross one.
DO be generous in your criticisms.
1t is form of magnanimity that leaves
no sting of regret.

LIKE so MUCH "DEAD HORSE"
Man Who Paid Debt With Check Will
Die in the Belief That He Has
Settled Twice.

A man made bet with his wife
which was indiscreet.
The wife won-which was foreor-
dained.
The man wrote the wife check for
s. in payment of the bet-which was
sad
The wife cashed the check at the
grocery, but forgot to endorse it
which was natural.
The grocer, despite the lack of en-
dorsement, paid it to packing house
collector-which was careless.
The packing house collector turned
it in-which was all in days work.
A packing house Office man discoV-
cred the lack of endorsement-wh
was good work.
He handed it back to the driver and
locked the drivers salary-which was
system.
The driver placed the check in his
white duck coat and sent it to the
which was unwise.
The laundry mutilated the check be-
yond recognition-which was unwise.
Which is why the driver asked the
cashier to ask the grocer to ask the
mans wife to ask her husband to
write a duplicate check. Which is
why the man feels like he is paying
that bet twice.

TRIED IT ON HIS FRIEND.

A Boston man who frequently visits
a scientific friend a short distance out
of town once found him in his labora-
tory studying dark brown substance
spread out on sheet of paper, accord
ing to the Houston Post
"l say, JONES' said the scientific per-
son, when greeting had been duly ex-
changed, ''would you mind letting me
place bit of this on your tongue? My
taste has become sadly vitiated by try
ing all sorts of things"
The professor took some of the sub
lance under analysis and put it on his
friends tongue, whereupon the Boston
man worked it around in his mouth for
fully a minute, tasting it as though he
might have sampled choice confec-
ton.
"Note any etrect?' asked the pro-
lessor.
mo especial effect"
at doesn't paralyze or prick your
tongue?"
"Not that | can detect"
81 didn't think it would. There are
no alkaloids in it then. How does it
taste?"
"Very bitter"
every bitter, eh?" Then, after a
pause.
Gan right, that will do"
BY this time the callers curiosity was
aroused. "What is it anyhow" he
asked.
81 don't know. That's what | am
trying to find out. Some one around
here has been poisoning horses with it,"

TWO OF A KIND.

a clergyman was preaching in a
strange church one Sunday evening.
While at supper at the vicarage after
wards ring came at the bell. The
maid entered and said, ''Please sir,
there is man at the door who says he
wants to speak to the preacher. The
Clergyman, thinking he was going to
interview some one got up with alacrity
and went into the hall. Here he saw a
tall, powerful-looking man, about his
own size. "Well my good man, what
can I do for you?" he asked, thinking
of the other spiritually. "Well, sir, |
was thinking while | was a-listening
to yer preaching, as how yer might
have pair of trousers as would fit me-"

HOME CIRCLE COL UMN.
A LOVE OF DRESS.

Parents are unduy disturbed in per-
ceiving in their children a love of
dress. But it is natural, and we think
praiseworthy, to try to look ones best
and we should prefer an undue fond
ness for neat and fitting attire, to the
slovenly indifference to it on the part
OF either boy or girl. "Raiment as
costly as thy purse can buy" said
Shakespeare, that wonderful seer whose
vision penetrated every sham and saw
into the motives of men, and gave many
a maxim for life's conduct. A youth
seeking business position will rec
ommend himself by the trimness of his
clothing, by its general well-brushed
and well-kept effect. An untidy girl
is never comely. No beauty of the
rose in her cheek or of abundant hair,
no grace of form can compensate for
buttonless shoes, rents held together
by pins, the hens and ruifles and tucks
in a state of disgraceful disorder.
Careless dress betokens confusion Of
mind, SO that parents should be glad
to observe that their young people are
models of nicely in their costumes.

SIeep In First Necessity.

A very frequent cause OF nervous
ness in many persons is loss of sleep.
1t gives rise to headaches and neural
gia, and Is mainly responsible for
other distressing ailments. The man
Or woman whose sleep is undnly dis
lurbed as the result of heavy mental
work, by night watching at the bed
side of the sick or through irregular
hours OF employment, should endeavor
to secure a little refreshing sleep
whenever possible in order to make
up for the loss sustained. For not
only will headaches and other all.
ments develop from sleeplessness. but
the nervous system will soon become
considerably deranged as a conge-
quence. So be careful upon this point.

Animal TRAINING.

Most people have heard of the cele-
brated calculating horses of Elbcifuld
who can do anything up to calculating
square roots, in addition to being pro
ticient at spelling. 1t would now ap-
pear, according to the Paris Press,
that although these feats are actually
performed they are due to very
clever device. An animal trainer has
informed the Matin that he has util.
lied system of wireless telegraphy
for training animals to do all sorts Of
tricks. The receiver is placed on the
horses bride, while the trainer or an
assistant Municipalities the transmit
ter, and by d code of signals, which
are not difficult to teach, the animals
can be made to give any desired IAN
swer.' 1t is suggested that this sys-
TEN is used in the case of the cele
brated Elberfeld horses. Prior to the
utilization of wireless telegraphy, the
trainer mentioned employed a method
OF signals by means of a toothpick.

Homes are traini ng schools for citi-
zens, and only as they teach patriotism
in the fullest sense OF the word are
they doing their duty by the country
in unstinted measure. The family Ia.
BILE is the family rallying place, and 1t
is well therefore, that meals should
neither be taken in silence, nor occu-
pied with frivolous gossip; they afford
the parent and the children a meeting
around where they may come into close
sympathy, and where they may receive
stores of knowledge while the bodily
needs are attended to,

Don't Let Baby Suffer with
Eczema and Skin Eruptions.

Babies need perfect skin-covering.
Skin eruptions cause them not only in
tense suffering, but hinder their
growth. DR.. Hobson's Eczema ONT
ment can be relied on for relief and
permanent cure of suffering babies
whose skin eruptions have made their
life miserable. sour baby was afllict-
ed with breaking out of the skin all
over the face and scalp, Doctors and
skin specialists failed to help. We
tried DR.. Hobson's Eczema Ointment
and were overjoyed to see baby COM
pletely cured before one box was used"

British Union Jack.

The union Jack, the national ban

Britain and Ireland, is formed out OF
the combination OF the crosses of st.
George, of st. Andrew and Of st. Pat
rick, these three crosses being the ma
tional banner Of England, Scotland
and Ireland, respectively. The first
union jack, which was introduced by
royal proclamation in 1906, three years
after the union with Scotland. bore
only the crosses Of two countries,
England and Scotland. This combna-

Let not the young man, who is living
beyond his income deceive himself with
the sophlstry that he viii retrieve his
position. Let him not build air castles
Of future successes that will redeem
the past, only to be crushed beneath
their ruins. Out Of your present you
are building your future and as surely
as night follows day will you reap that
which you have sown. BE not deceived.
The law is memorable. You cannot es-
cape the consequences Of your case. If
you SOW tares in the springtime Of
your life, these will make your bar

tumn fill your granaries. Remember,
too, that there Is but one seed time

time, and it rests With you alone wheth-
err you shall garner honor or shame,
success or poverty, righteousness or
unrighteousness.
