world comparable in Importance to
that grindstone.
John Jones takes to drink be-
cause Jake Smith got the best of him
on the sale of load of potatoes. Mrs.
Jones neglects her homework and
retires to bed in tears because Mrs.
Smith is reported to have said the
new hat was simply an old one made
over. The younger generation of
Joneses raise wall because Jimmy
Smith punched Willy Jones nose. Such
are the epoch-making events that
mean life to millions of people.
l have an idea that the grievances
of the female world that are grouped
under the word suffrage are in
great part founded on domestic auto
hypnotism. Woman's mental equip
ment is probably as good as mans,
but it's range has been for centuries
restricted.
Small duties of one kind or another
so fill the horizon of woman's life
that she can see nothing else. This
sort of thing easily becomes habit.
A woman can by good management,
take as much time, consult as many
people over the purchase of dress,
as did the Japanese and Russians
over the Treaty of Portsmouth, All
| things are relative. The massacre
of ten thousand people in Teheran
does not bother you as much as the
baby's Group.
To accomplish anything in life one
must escape from the vicious circle
of personal petty anxieties and occu-
pations Their only result is to waste
time and dull the mental faculties.
Of course, if a woman prefers that
domestic hasheesh commonly called
homework or millinery to real &C
complishment, if man prefers to
emulate the horse who winds up the
windlass instead of being of some
use in the world, it is their own
affair.
But there are many who see dimly
that they are wasting their lives but
cannot get out of the vicious circle.
There are hundreds capable of doing
better things wearing themselves out
in a dull round of distasteful occupa-
tons and anxieties, which are of no use
neither to themselves nor to their
neighbors. They are under malign
spell. One good half day spent in an
impartial survey of themselves would
break the spell, enable them to see
things rightly, put small worries
where they belong and realize the
value of time and the nobility of life
that accomplishes.

TUE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
A TRICK WITH FIGURES.

Boys and girls who are fond of
springing tricks upon their friends will
enjoy the following one:
Ask some one to choose any num-
Der on the clock and add it to the
number directly opposite. This is to
be done to himself, not out loud. Then
tell him to imagine that these two
numbers are joined by line and that
another line is drawn at right angles
to the first line, so that a cross is
formed.
Tell the person to add together the
two numbers at the ends of this sec
ond line; then to find the difference
between the sum and the sum of the
first two numbers. Then announce
that you can tell the result. No mat
ter what figure on the clock face has
been first chosen, il the addition is
correct, the result win be six. Try it.

at last she could lean in the corner
again, she felt weak and tired.
In the meantime, Lina's mother
came home, and when she saw the
knitting, she was very much pleased.
She gave the little girl hearty kiss
and praised her for her neat work.
This happened while the real Lima
was having her hair dressed, and she
was hurt and angry enough to Jump
out of the leather with vexation. A
little later Lina's father and brothers
came home. The lamp was lighted,
and there was much merry chatter,
and games and storytelling. Poor
Lima stood in her corner and looked
on. She was not obliged to do any
thing. It was just what she had wish
ed for every day, but it was awfu1ly
tiresome! The living doll, on the con-
trary, seemed to feel quite contented
and happy in Lina's place.
When the father sent the new Lima
on an errand, the mother said:
ct seems as if our Lima had been
changed today. How sweet she is
when she is so obliging and busy. /
wish that she were always like that"
When Lima heard this in her cor
ner, she felt as if her heart would
break; for, with all her faults, she
was very affectionate and loved her
mother dearly.
"Of course that stupid doll who
takes my place likes to jump about, I
she thought. 81 should be very glad
to move only little bit. Oh! if only
I were a little girl again!'
Just then little Louise was told to
go to bed, and went over to the dolls
corner to get her baby doll.
"Oh, mammal" cried the little one
in surprise, "how clean and pretty
Lina's dolly looks! Please kiss both
dollies goodnight"
So the little girl toddled over to
her mother, holding her baby on one
arm, and on the other the large doll.
Her mother obeyed willingly, and
laughingly kissed first the little waxen
mouth, and then the shining china
face.
At that instant Lima felt life and
motion coming back to her limbs, and
knew that she was no longer doll,
but living child. A loving mother
kiss makes all troubles well!
From that day, Lima really seemed
as if she had been changed. She felt
and knew that her hands and feet
were hers to use, not to hang down
stiffly like a dolls. And whenever
she was threatened by the old lazi-
ness, Lima only needed one look at the
dolls corner to make her as spry as a
squirrel.-Alice M. Elliot in The Child
Apostle.

THE BOY WHO TRIES.

The boy who wins is sure of praise,
And yet, somehow prize
Through stress of dark and cloudy
days
The gallant boy who tries.
Not once nor twice nor thrice he lifts
His sturdy hand, ere life
Shows, bright and clear, the blue that
riffs
With peace the sky of strife.
The lad whose valor holds it's own
In presence of defeat,
Who falls and rises, makes no moan
In dust, or cold, or heat.
find it in my very soul
To bless the stubborn stuff
That takes of poverty it's toll,
And makes that dole enough.
A thousand praise the boy who wins,
But twice ten thousand rise
Beyond this world of clamorous dins
To praise the boy who tries.

THE LITTLE MISERIES.

Some people treat life as if it
were a tedious wait at lonely rail
road station. They walk idly hither
and thither, investigate matters in
which they have not the least inter
est; in brief, kill time They occupy
their days with an endless amount
of petty details and their nights are
given to narrowing anxieties over the
details of the morrow.
Not that details are to be minimized.
They have their place and an impor-
tant one in the economy of activity.
But broadly the question is this:
Shall we use them or let them mas
ter us? 1t is the difference between
Grant and Mcclellan.
The vice is a very subtle one.
Many people would Indignantly deny
a charge of laziness but they spend
half day accomplishing what
another can finish up in fifteen min
utes. They hypnotic themselves
into an affectation of activity. The
line of cleavage between efficient
workmen and inefficient is clear.
Every employer of labor understands
this
The purposeful workman goes at
the core of the business, every move
ment of his hand shows intelli-
gence; the other fellow acts as if
he SO loved each minute process of
his work that he is loath to see the
end of it. The first places in all our
great corporations are filled with men
who worked up from the journey
mans position by enlightened activity.
The lowest places are filled with
men who used as much intelligence
in their labor as a donkey on tread
mill
A boy leaves the ancestral farm
and plunging into the vortex of city
life manages to keep his head above
the surface. Finally he accommodates
himself to his new environments,
comes to see what an invaluable as
set time is and that the main thing
in life is to get things done.
Having achieved measure of sue
cess he returns home on vacation.
With a shock he finds out that the
repair of an old rail fence occupies a
week of his brothers time, that the
whole family rack their brains night
after night in attempting to decide
what kind of phosphate is to be used
on the meadow lot.
The great majority of mankind are
Supplying themselves with laborious
hypnotics, small duties, heightened
out into young eternities, small wor-
ries that loom as large as the pyra-
mids. This is what keeps humanity
with its nose to the grindstone, an
idea that there is nothing else In the

LAZY LINA'S LESSON.

OnC0 upon a ClLuG There was q llLLlO
girl whose name was Lima. Every
thing in the world was done to make
her happy, but she was always dis
contented, because she was one of
the LATEST little girls in the world.
At school Lima was always at the
foot of her class, for she never
learned her lessons perfectly, and at
home she never even tried to help
her mother
One afternoon Lina's mother told
her to knit certain number of rows
before she returned. AS she left the
room, the mother smiled at Lima, for
the little girl already had her knitting
in her hand. Soon, however, Lima
leaned back in her chair, and the ball
of yarn fell to the ground. Her kitten
played with the ball, and pulled down
the knitting, but Lima did not care.
She lay back comfortably, and lazily
watched the kitten.
Then she looked at the corner
where she and her little sister kept
their dolls. Lina's doll was large,
and could move it's eyes, but it's face
was dirty, and all it's fine clothes
we're spotted. It's hair was tangled
under it's pretty hat Little Louise's
doll was in it's cradle, as neat as a
pin.
AS the clock struck, Lima realized
how long she had been dawdling. She
looked GROSSLY at the kitten, which by
this time had the knitting in snarl;
then she got up slowly and sighed:
"Ah! how happy those dolls are!
They don't need to work. wish that
could change places with them!"
with all my heart!" cried thin
little voice, and, to Lina's great sur
prise, her big doll came quickly out
of her corner, seized the knitting
from the mischievous kitten, took off
her hat and placed it on Lina's head,
and then began industriously to pick
up the stitches. All this happened so
quickly that Lima did not know where
she was. Then she felt her limbs
growing stiff, and she fell down quite
helpless She could only move her
eyes.
The little girl sitting in the arm.
chair looked just as Lima remembered
her own image in the mirror, but
there was one noticeable difference,
for the new Lima seemed to be very
| fond of knitting. AS she stopped to
pick up the ball of yarn, she stumbled
over Lima, and taking her up by one
arm, threw her into the dolls corner
While she lay with her arms stretch.
ed wide apart, Lima remembered how
often she had thrown her doll in the
corner when it was in her way. The
great crack in it's head, which was
hidden by the hair, was made by just
such fall Now Lima understood why
her head ached so dreadfully since
she wished for change.
The living doll folded her knitting
carefully after while, and then went
to the dolls corner, drew q tiny comb
from her pocket, and took Lima upon
her lap. Lima trembled, for she re-
membered how she used to pull her
dolls tangled hair.
you dirty. untidy girl" exclaimed
the new Lima.
Then she washed the dolls face
well, and the dreaded combing began.
This hurt the cracked head terribly,
and soon poor Lima would have liked
very much to cry, if her glass eyes
had had tears. Then Lima was fresh
~ dressed, but not without many pulls
and pinches. as il she had been made
of wood instead Of soft leather. When

MOTHERHOOD.

"And Thou? What hast thou
wrought" She stood apart
With dropping head and shaded,
wistful eyes;
Safe shielded seemed the story Of her
heart,
It's sacred mysteries.
Full lightly past her tripped the
thronging feet
OF women, beautiful and bright and
strong,
So brave they seemed, the Masters
gaze to meet,
So clear and glad their song.
But still His eyes in question sought
her face,
His hand outstretched babe her un-
fearing, come
And with the others take her right
full place
Nor stand abashed and dumb.
Hast thou no fruitage from Life's
toll to yield?
No record at the Masters feet to
lay?
Hast thou but idled in the harvest
field,
And hast thou nought to say?"
Slowly she nearer drew and softly
took
From meath her garments modest
fold, scroll;
Unrolled it tenderly that He might
look,
And read her inmost Soul.
1t was the story of Mothers heart,
And sacred were the secrets writ
ten there;
The story of cloister part,
Hallowed by tears and prayer.
But warmed by patient love and lit by
smiles
Whose cost to her the Master only
knew,
And as she stood, trembling and shy
the while,
His look more tender grew.
She could not see, as He, how true
the light
Shone from her cloister windows
like star;
Nor how faint souls, lost in some long
dark night,
Had blessed her from afar.
He saw alone what she but prayed
for, how
Through years of silent ministry
her hands
Had moulded lines whose influence
even now
Rippled to distant strands.
"a mother thou? The Court o.
Heaven can give
No higher place to woman thar
thou hast won;
No nobler life is granted them to live
And l was Mary's SOM"
Bending, He placed upon her droop
ing head,
The symbol of her queenly woman
hood,
''In the blest land where crowns ar,
given" He said,
Mothers are understood"
