In the Nursery,

1t does not mean that a woman can
not take charge of her own children's
bringing-up simply because she puts
them in nursery. She can take
charge of them as we'll in nursery as
out of one. II they are in charge OF
a governess, however. she should be
a woman who can be thoroughly trust
ed. In these days Of mothers help
ers the young woman who fllls that po-
sition would have the supervision of
the nursery in a house where she was
employed, and she should be chosen
with the greatest care. For the whole
value Of the nursery idea is that the
children who are brought up in a
nursery lead quieter more untram-
meled life than they do when they
live out of the nursery.-Exchange.

FIRST TO WIN RECOGNITION
Earliest Of American Authors to Gain
the Coveted Praise Of Europe
Was Washington Irving.

The first American author to win
general recognition of his genius in
Great Britain was Washington Irving,
who died in his seventy-seventh year
at Sunnyside. N Y. The immortal
humorist, historian and essayist was
born in New York, the son of a native
of Scotland. He was educated for
the law but his tastes were all in the
direction of literature, and his legal
career was a brief and almost brief.
less one. At eighteen he wrote Let
tiers of Johnathan Oldstyle." which
were published in the New York
Morning Chronicle, newspaper
owned by his elder brother, DR.. Peter
Irving He was only twenty-five when
he wrote the celebrated ''History OF
New York, by Diedrich Knickerbock-
err From 1915 until 1882 Irving re-
sided in England. where his genius
was fully recognized. Later he re-
turned to Europe as United States
minister to Spain, and spent several
years in Madrid. In the opinion OF
both American and English critics,
Irving has few equals for grace OF
style and purity and elegance of die
ton and his works seem destined to
take their place among the great clas-
sizes of the English language.

WHITE SERVANTS GOOD WORK
Did Much Toward Building Up the
South in the Days Before the
Revolution,

Socially the white servant was an
important factor in helping to build up
a landed aristocracy in the south, be-
cause he made possible the cultivation
of extensive areas of land, declares
writer in Harper's Magazine. But in
the course of few years he became
a free citizen and owner of a small
estate. Thus was developed yeoman
class, a much needed democratic ele-
ment in the southern colonies, while
at the same time settlers were secured
for the black lands, where they were
needed to protect the frontier. Never
theless, they did not form a distinct
class after becoming freedmen. Some
were doubtless the progenitors of the
poor white trash" of the south. but it
is likely that environment rather than
birth was the main factor in producing
this class. While comparatively few
rose to prominence, yet there are some
notable examples to the contrary. Two
signers OF the Declaration of indie
pendence, George Taylor and Mathew
Thornton; Charles Thompson, the sec
rotary of the continental congress, and
General Sullivan of revolutionary war
fame, had all been white servants. It
is certain also that many became sue
cessful planters, and perhaps the ma
1ority respectable and desirable citi-

MADE UP OF LITTLE THINGS
Small Events Count for Much More in
Life Than Those We Consider
Of Importance.

We love little things, we hate little
things, we fear little things; our lives
are knit up with little things from the
time we are born to the day we die.
Big things draw us up to Heaven or
crush us down to hell. Little things
live beside us on the earth, eat and
sleep with US, laugh and grumble with
US, catch the early train with us, or
make us miss it, irritate and appease
us-never leave US alone for a min
ute
That is why they are so much more
important than the big things-the
things that only come once in a way,
at long intervals, and even then are
nearly always the result of a hundred
and one little things combined.
To be crushed by a large misadven-
ture is natural, but to fall a victim to
a series of petty misfortunes is hui
initiating. There are many who would
prefer to break their necks once and
for all by falling off a mountain, than
to bruise their whole bodies and dis
locate their tempers by the daily
stumbling over a mole-hill 1t is the
little things that count-the satisfac.
ton of climbing Mount Olympus is a
poor sort of attainment if the scores
and scores of pleasant details which
wait upon success be absent.-From

SAYING Came True.

The discovery that Scottish bank
notes have actually been forged with
in the walls of Peterhead convict
prison recalls an amusing incident.
Unlike the notes of the Bank of
England (Which are destroyed as soon
as they find their way back to the
bank, notes on Scottish banks are put
in circulation again and again. The
result is that some of these notes get
very dirty. the one-pound notes get
ting particularly grubby and worn
in the course Of their travels.
An English barrister who was once
given a sheaf of these notes in pay
ment of large amount regarded
them with horror for a few seconds,
holding them delicately between his
thumb and finger.
Now" he said, holding them at
arms length, now l understand the
meaning of that saying about "fllthy
lucer.'"
