we should have for our dinners. So
when raised a decided protest against
the young man she was inviting toe
often to call upon her, I was terrified
at her resentment and rage at what
she deemed my uncalled for interior.
ence. She threatened to run away
from home. If l do not permit this
man-whom know to be a worthless
scoundrel-to visit her, she will assur-
eddy carry out her threat. Then my
heart would break"
This is an excerpt from a letter
which a tormented mother has written
me, asking what she shall do to thwart
the girls avowed intention of running
away.
We have all heard of the useless
ness of locking the barn door after the
frolicsome young colt that has never
known halter or hindrance has de-
camped to fields new and pastures
green. 1t also is useless to look back
ward and point out what should have
been done in the years that belong to
the past-to cause the daughter to
look up to and respect her mothers
opinion and heed her decision.
We must make an appeal direct to
the girl, endeavoring to show her the
folly of leaving kind and loving hearts,
the roof that has sheltered her and
the fireside around which those who
love her gather, to cast her lot among
strangers in cold and merciless
world.
There are girls who are foolish
enough to believe that they are able
to go from home, find a position with
the utmost ease, and they will be able
to entertain the company they like
and quite as often as they please.
A fortnight's experience is ample to
take the fine enthusiasm out of the
most determined young woman. Posi-
lions that yield scarcely more than
enough money to hold soul and body
together are quite as hard to secure
as the better ones, where there is sell
dom or never a vacancy. Boarding
house landladies do not ask her what
she would like for dinner. She has to
take what is set before her, not daring
to make protest.
In regard to her company, he finds
little welcome. The parlor is for all;
he cannot monopolize it. If he puts
in an appearance three or four times
week the businesslike landlady
makes no bones in pronouncing, Men
who have no conjunction about COM
ing around to wear other peoples
chairs out, burn gas, and take up
room"-decidedly unwelcome visitors;
in short, nuisances. If the girl
retorts spiritedly, she is soon after
requested to give up her cherries hall
bedroom for some working girl who
has no visitor.
If the girl weds the young man
whom nobody likes, she is apt to find
she has made still greater mess of
ii. There's two in the hall bedroom of
some other cheaper boarding place,
and her scant earnings have to be
stretched to cover the cost of feeding
a husband. What the home folks say
about her lover should have much in
fuence with girl. Under no circum-
stances should she run away from
loving mother and sheltering home.
She would have all of her after life
to repent of it.

Proud CITY of SMYRNA.

Smyrna can lay claim to a loftier
lineage than perhaps any other city
on the earth. 1t is her proud boast
that from the earliest dawn of history
down to the present bombardment her
continuity of name and fame is un-
broken. It is in this spirit that she
claims Homer for citizen. His river,
the Meles, which gave him a name,
runs near the city; and the cave is
still shown where he wrote his poems.
Smyrna has not been slack in appro-
priating Homer, endowing him even
with a local temple. The saddest chap
tiers in the history of the city are
those which record earthquakes and
of Greeks by Turks.

MiIIet Makes Good Hay.

Millet makes good hay If cut at the
proper time, which is when it Is in
bloom. On good land 1t will make
from two to three tons to an acre and
has about the same feeding value as
good timothy. But if allowed to ripen
to seed it draws heavily On the phos-
phoric acid content Of he soil. Sow
one bushel to the acre, for if sown
thin on rich bottom land it grows too
coarse. The time to plant is from the
1st to the 18th of June.
