A WORD TO WIVES AND MOTHERS.

Keep in advance of your boys and your
girls. Be prepared to lead them, and do
not, as you value your husbands love,
allow him to develop and improve while
you lose your hold upon those things
which contribute so much to woman's S
attractiveneSs.
| see about me every day sisters who,
when they married, were, have not
single doubt, Intellectually equal, if not
superior to the men with whom they cast
their lot. In some occult fashion they
drifted apart.
A mas in daily contact with bright
minds, in his travelling, thinking, plan
ming, reading, unconsciously grows away
from the woman of his choice unless she
is in turn keen witted enough to make up
her mind that this shall not be the
case.
A man likes at night, when he puts on
his slippers and settles down for
smoke TO discuss the topics of the mo-
ment and not babies and the delin-
quencies of the cook. Where one wom-
an can do this. dozen would be utterly
at sea if an attempt were made to lure
them away from them, to them, always
fascinating themes, kitchen and nursery.
Be wary lest IN yonr devotion to sew
ing machine, bread board and broom,
you allow blessed opportunities for self
culture to slip by until you find yourself
a target for somebody's commiseration.
A mistaken notion ties women down
to petty details, when many precious
moments might be given to some thing
that would elevate and refine.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.

These are the things worth while:
The rainbow after the rain;
The peace that follows pain;
The dew dipped garden rose;
The flower that by the wayside grows
To claim an urchin's smile.
The little sacrifices made
By patient mother love;
The touch OF little chldren's hands;
And sweet affections subtle bands.
The bright sunshine above;
The songs the robin sings;
The chord of music that awakes,
Yearning for nobler things.
These, and a trusting woman's love,
In life are most worth while.
Verne Dewitt Rowell in Nautilus.
Labor is life, but worry is killing
Accept things as they are, and do not
bother about the yesterday, which is
gone forever; do not bother about to-
morrow, which is not yours: but take the
present day and make the best Of it.
Some horrid man says; "a woman can
adopt herself to circumstances more
readily than a man. She will drive a
nail with poker or a hair brush, take
out cork with pair Of scissors, no
matter if it is pushed in, and sharpen
lead pencils with her husbands razors. p"
~
Young man, you are wanted. From
the street corners, from the saloons, and
playhouses, from the loafer's rendezvous,
from the idler's promenade, turn your
steps into the highway of noble aim and
earnest work. There are prizes enough
for every successful worker, crowns
enough for every honorable head that
goes through the smoke Of conflict 10
victory.

IDLE WOMEN.

The most unhappy women in our com
munities today are those who have no
engagements to call them up in the
morning, and who. once having risen
and breakfasted, lounge through the dull
forenoon in slippers down at the heel
and with disheveled hair, reading the
last novel, and who, after having drag
ged through wretched forenoon and
taken their afternoon sleep, and having
spent an hour and half at their toilet,
pick up their card case and go out to
make calls, and who pass their evenings
waiting for some body to come in and
break up the monotony. Arabella
Stua 1T never was imprisoned in so dark
a dungeon as that.
There is no happiness in an idle wom-
an. 1t may be with hand, or 1t may be
with brain, it may be with foot, but
work she must, or be wretched forever.
The little girls of our families must be
started with that idea. The curse of our
American society is that our young
women are taught that the first second,
third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, tenth,
fftieth thousandth thing in their life is to
get some one to take care of them
Instead Of that. the first lesson should
be how, under God, they may take care
of themselves and that, too, after having,
through the false notions of their par.
ents, wasted in the years in which they
ought to have learned how successfully
to maintain themselves We now and
here declare the inhumanity, cruelty, and
outrage that father and mother who pass
their daughters into womanhood, having
given them no facility for earning their
livelihood. Nine. de Stael said: 1T is
not these writings that | am proud of,
but the fact that have the facility IN
ten occupations, so that, if necessary. |
could make my livelihood in any one of
them"

How Her Little Girl Was Restored
to Health

Mrs. Chas. Schriefer, of 139 Humroc

was advised to give her Vinol and after
the first bottle noticed an improve
ment. She has taken four bottles
and has picked up rapidly, having
gained six pounds in three weeks"
The reason Vinol builds up weak
ailing children so quickly is because
it contains in a delicious combination
the two most world famed tonics-i. e.,
he strength creating body building o..
ements of cod liver oil, with all the
useless grease eliminated and tonic
iron for the blood added. If you have
a weak, puny, ailing child, try Vinol on
