drinks, alternate contact with cold

metal toothpicks, and want of cleanli-
ness are injurious to the teeth.
1t is best to rinse the mouth thor
oughly before brushing the teeth, for
that will remove the larger particles
of food which have accumulated.
Tooth brushes should be elastic
and moderately hard; those in which
the bristles are placed little apart
are the most desirable. A brush that
is too hard may be permanently sof-
tened by dipping it into hot water.
Rub up and down as we'll as across
the teeth. A drop or two of tincture
of myrrh in the cup of water used
for cleasing the teeth will aid in
producing a healthy hardness to the
gums and also sweetens the breath.

DID THEY TELL HIM?

Did they speak of him when living
What they spake of him when dead?
Was this sacrifice of giving
Recompensed by what they said?
Did he ever hear the tribute
That was chiseled on stone,
Which has made his grave an altar
Far more holy than a throne?
When he wiped the tear of sorrow
From the troubled cheek of care,
With smile as soft and gentle
AS the touch of balmy air,
Did the living lips remember,
When again they learned to laugh,
That spoken word is. greater
Than a sculptured epitaph?
When he helped weaker brother
Who had wandered from the way,
Where the road was dark'an gloomy
And the skies were dull and gray,
Did the one his love had rescued
Call blessing on the head
Of the doer of the kindness
Did he wait till he was dead?
When he heard the anguished sobbing,
And the cry of childish grief,
Ger a treasured toy new broken,
And was quick to give relief.
Did the boy with wagon mended,
Or the girl with doll repaired,
Wait until the dear departed"
Neither knew and neither cared?
Was the kindly heart all spotless,
Or had sin deformed and marred-
AS piece of precious marble
Oft is traced and yeined and
Scared
Ere he learned the love and patience
That would spare the word of
blame,
AS he helped to bear the burden
| Of another's sin and shame?
| All, l know not what the reason,
Yet the promptings of my mind
| Lead me on to ask the question:
did they tell him he was kind?"

tie, and, before the first day was over,
they were the very best of friends.
After breakfast Bobby and Cousin
Ned went down to the hotel where
the other boys of the team were stay
ing, and together they went to the
place where the great game was to be
that afternoon. How proud and hap
Ply Bobby was, as he walked down the
street with the crowd of fine, strong
young fellows! How nice it would be,
he thought, to be grown up like them
and do just as he pleased. ''Nobody'd
tell them how many waffles they could
eat" he said presently to himself.
There had been crisp, brown waffles
for breakfast; and Bobby was still in
dignant because his mother had not
let him eat as many as he wished.
At dinner time, my! but they were
hungry? Bobby was too busy eating
to notice Cousin Ned for while, but
presently he heard him say: mo
more, thank you; it's ever SO good,
but we're under orders to eat just so
much and no more, when we're in
training for games like this after
noon"
Bobby was so surprised that he for
got to eat. To think that great big
strong football champion had to be
careful what he ate!
1T was hard for all of us at first,
sail Ned; but it has been good for
us, too"
ut is fine temperance training -
added Bobby's father; "for when a boy
can eat what is good for him and give
up the rest, should imagine that he
could give up anything else that was
going to hurt him in any way"
The game was a great one, and OF
course Ned's side won, as Bobby had
been sure it would.
Bobby remembered it all his life
and he remembered something else
too He remembered that to be strong
and useful and able to do great things
Of any kind boy must have a strong
body and a clear mind, and that meant
doing without many things that he
liked. But what did they matter, when
| they made such a big difference in
the end?

JUST A TOUCH.

We cannot expect to find rules and
regulations, set down, numbered
printed and published, to guide us in
our living. 1t is living you know
and we all live differently, and in diff
erent ways. Being exemplary is
just one delightful way of living, and
we cannot find code of laws to gov
ern us. We find SO many different
situations, SO many different people
so many different requirements, that
it is just human nature to vary in Oul
ways of doing. But we can always
remember that it is the warmth of 8
heart, the light of an eye, the touch
of hand that make ones surest safe
guard. One can depend upon then
for finding their own way.
Have you ever seen an opal lying
in a show case-dull, lifeless, with
out color, without luster? What q
common bit of glass! But take it VI
into your hand, and let it lie there g
moment. And then-why, it is diff
ferent stone! Brilliant fire flashe:
from it, all the colors of the rainbow
sparkle and dance from it. How beau
tiful! Yes, very beautiful. And what
brought out the beauty? The human
touch, the warmth of human hand
Yes, just Il touch is very wonder
full thing sometimes. There lay the

There are lives just like that. We SCI

if our eyes have the right light, oul
lips the right smiles, our voice the
right ring, our hand the right touch
then we will see the color and the
beauty and the radiance i'll the life

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE FOOTBALL CHAMPION.

In all his seven years Bobby had
never been so excited, but then what
little boy wouldn't be, il his own big
cousin was the champion football play
er, who was coming with the great
college team to play the next Satur-
day? The papers told about him and
printed his pictures, and everybody
talked about him and felt sure his
team would win. To have the cham
pion stay at his house and be his very
own cousin made Bobby feel about as
important as a champion himself.
In fact, he acted a great deal more
important than did the big clear
eyed, good-natured cousin when he
came. Bobby watched and admired
everything that he did, from the way
he walked to the way he tied his neck

WHAT MAKES A HOME?

What makes a home? Not furniture
or plate,
But love transcending petty faults
and hate.
Love makes the home and fills it with
the light
That helps lift upwards from the
dreary night.
What makes the home? Not fashions
or display,
But love, before which evil fees
away;
Love makes the home; without it,
dark indeed
The house of hearts that suffer,
ache and bleed.
What makes a home? Not bric-a-brac
and art,
But love, whose furnishings are OF
the heart,
And with that simple and sublime
content
Helps life perform the duties daily
sent.
What makes the home? Not latest
fads and styles,
But love, whose fashion is Of sunny
smiles,
Clear laughter ringing on the lips Of
trust,
And faiths white blossom burgeon
ing through the dust.

HE WANTED TO LEARN.

More than a. hundred years ago a
stout, freckle-faced, awkward boy of
eighteen years, dressed in a ragged
waistcoat and short breeches, without
stockings or shoes, raped one evening
at the door of a humble cottage in
northern England, and asked to see
| the village schoolmaster. When that
person appeared the boy said, very
| modestly: Il would like to attend
your evening school, sir
And what do you wish to study?'
| asked the teacher, roughly.
81 want to learn to read and write,
| sir" answered the lad.
The schOolmaster glanced at the
boys homely face and rough clothes
| may attend, but an awkward, bare
legged laddie like you would better be
doing something else than learning
his letters Then he closed the door
in the lads face.
This boy was the son of the fire.
man of pumping engine in North
! cumberland coal mine, and was born
one hundred and thirty-two years ago
ON June 8, 1881, to be exact. His
birthplace was howell, with a clay
floor, mud walls and bare rafters.
| When he was five years old he began
to work for his living by herding COWS
in the daytime, and barring up the
gates at night. AS he grew older he
was set to picking stones from the
coal, and after that to driving horse
which drew coal from the pit. He
went halffed and half-clothed.
| When he called at the school-house
he was plugman of a pumping-engine,
and, though he knew nothing Of read
| ing or writing, he had studied the
engine until he had a complete knoWl-
edge of the machine. He was able to
take it apart, and make any ordinary
! repairs.
| Not discouraged by the advice given
him by the schoolmaster, he made
application, and attended the evening
| school. At the end of about two years
he had learned all this school could
teach him. He conceived the plan OF
4 IL LOSn
him a long time, but at the age OF
forty he had made several engines
/ and was known as successful and
energetic engineer, and was called
upon to build long and difficult lines
| Of railroad.
! But his locomotives were too slow;
le wanted them to run faster. He
proposed to build one which would run
1T the rate of twelve miles an hour!
| Everybody laughed at him. Some
| thought he was crazy. One very wise
said to him: Suppose you invent an
engine capable of running nine or ten
miles an hour and suppose, while il
is running, cow should stray upon
the track Will not that be very
Iawkward circumstance" 81 should
| think it might be very awkward-foI
the cow" he answered.
| Well, he succeeded in making his
locomotive, and at a trial which took
| place near Liverpool it attained to the
unprecedented speed of fourteen miles
an hour. By making certain improve
ments this same engine, the Rocket
was made to so at speed of thirty
miles and hour. People laughed nc
llonger, but admired.
He was invited as consulting en-
gineer to foreign countries, and
wealth flowed upon him. Philosophers
sought his friendship, and his kine
offered him knighthood, but he pre-
ferred to remain plain George Ste
phenson. That is the name of this
t"awkward laddie," who became the in
ventor of the locomotive.

HOSPITALITY.

Is hospitality going out Of fashion?
1t would seem so in many localities.
and though we all deplore it, no one
seems to know u reason for it, or
how to revive it,
Are we too busy; is life too siren
uous, too artificial? Any one OF
more of these reasons may have some
thing to do with it, but perhaps there
is another, a more apparent reason
for this falling off from the old-time
hospitality, SO dear to our ancestors
If so, the remedy should be simple.
Is it not because we have grown
too particular; too fussy? The old
idea of the loose latch string, and
pot-luck for the stranger has given
place to formal affairs and a desire
to Guido our neighbors in food and
table accessories. We go to much
trouble for immaculate linen, garnish
ings and the troublesome ''kickshaws,'
when i'll the good old-fashioned times
pleasant words of welcome sufticed to
lend zest to the family dinner of herbs
Nowadays, though friend happens
to drop in at noon time, or linger until
the supper hour, we allow her to sc
away hungry-and why? Not that
we begrudge her a share of that which
we have, but that that which we have
is not good enough-would not suf
ticiently impress her. We hastily
ponder over the table linen-no, the
best cloth is not clean; then there is,
too, only Hamburger steak instead OF
Porterhouse. SO we say goodbye,
within the sound Of the dinner bell.
Can we not change? Can We not
call halt upon his modern striv
ing and strenuousity to surpass oul
neighbor--at least within the sane
tum of the home? Can we not return
to the simpler ideals of home life
and daily fare, and with it will come
back the strangers seat in the chin
ney corner, and the hospitality o.
long ago.

COURTESY.

To some courtesy may seem lost
art, little worth bringing back. But
it is not. Courtesy is one of the old
fine arts that dies only with the man
or the business. For the rise of many
a man and business has started with
it.
Take time to be courteous.
Emerson once wrote: Give boy
address and accomplishments and you
give him the mastery of palaces, and
fortunes wherever he goes" Courtesy
is of more value to man than a
thousand letters of written recon-
mendations. Courtesy is an asset Of
more power than money or influence.
Take time to be courteous.
A few years ago, young man by
the name of Wallace stood behind a
railroad office window in Oil City, Pa,
as a ticket agent. But he didn't stay
all the time. When he saw chance
to render a courteous favor by deliV-
cring tickets direct to a customer, he
delivered the tickets.
Also, he sought out new ways of
SlNluS StIflCS. SlC". "A
bigger job came after him. Today,
still a young man, he is general pas
senger agent for the entire Erie rail
road. He may be its president some
day. All through courtesy.
Take time to be courteous.
Courtesy lightens the burden of
toll. Courtesy demands respect
Courtesy is little brother to oppor.
tunity and follows her around through
the hours of the busy day. Courtesy
always leads man higher up.
Take time to be courteous.
The courteous Office boy, the cour-
teous clerk, the courteous ste1ograh.
er, the courteous manager, the cour.
teous leader at big tasks-whoever
heard of such a one not growing, not
climbing to bigger things. Think
over these things. For it is tremen.
dously worth while to
Take time to be courteous.
