LEARN TO TELL GOOD STORIES
Writer in Philadelphia Newspaper,
Gives Some Excellent Advice to
the Young Mother.

So many mothers say, II can't tell
stories Besides, don't know any"
Well, you can tell them and you
should learn them. To read them Isl
not the same. The book and the words
are between you and your child. You
can never give yourself in the same
way through reading print as when
you let your own appreciation of tho
story speak through Your voice and
eyes straight TO your child Absorb
your story. Make part Of yourself
all it's beauty, its message, and then
free yourself from mere words. See,
the pictures and reveal them to your
listening child.
AS for knowing stories, learn them.
If you can't find them for yourself be-
siege the editors of your magazines
and newspapers for them until you
are supplied Insist on having the
best. There are no stories so good as
the old, old ones which sprang from
the heart of the race in ages past
These old tales meet the child's need
because they correspond to his stage
of development. They were primitive
mans effort to explain himself, ma
ture and God. The child will recog-
nize his kinship to them. He will find
in them the great truths which an
swer his own wonder and longings.-

Japs Work All the Time.

Literally the Japanese work all the
time. 1t is not at all uncommon to
find Japanese men and women at work
in their shops at two, three and four
o'clock in the morning They must
work like this or starve. They live di-
rectly in the rear of their places Of
business. Their entire household
equipment comprises a few mats, q
few cushions and a little tableware.
They go at their job-whether it con-
sists of making clogs or inlaid cuff
buttons and work and work and
work until they are exhausted. Then
they sleep a little and go back to
work. It does not take Japanese
ten minutes to eat his meal of rice
and fish. He has his festivals, Of
course, and good many OF them; but
he works the rest of the time; and in
many households 1t must be special
and personal festival, connected with
some individual or family gods, to lure
him from his occupation. He needs
the money.-Samuel G. Blythe in the
Saturday Evening Post.

Proner Home influence.

1.-THE boy who is taken out for q
stroll on a Sunday afternoon by his
father" says Judge Scully, formerly OF
a juvenile court. lis seldom the boy
who gets into trouble" Judge Scully
finds, and social workers will agree
with him, that the lad who is tempted
to follow the downward path is the
lad who is deprived of proper home
influences. The tone of family de-
ponds largely on the mother, but the
father should not restrict himself to
the humble though necessary position
of breadwinner In the opinion OF
many observers, too many boys. whose
homes are fairly good in most re-
spects, suffer from the fact that they
know little about their father, and he
knows little about them.

course she told me nothing of her own
feelings or affections, yet ! recognized
In both her words and her bearing a
curious apathy-a want of the real en-
thusiasm of affection. Woodroffe, much
her senior, was her fathers friend, and
1t therefore seemed to me more than
likely that Leithcourt was pressing a
matrimonial alliance upon his daugh-
ter for some Interior motive. She was
perplexed; she longed to cOnfide and
seek advice of someone, yet by reason
of some hidden and untoward circum-
stance her lips were sealed.

We exchanged a good many visits and

Their nearest relatives, the water
snakes. genus tropidonotus, so glee-

The large brown water snake, tropi-

that 1t is found basking on the same
