The Boy Who Should
Not Go to College

BY Rev. Charles L. Thwing, Ii. ID.

sity.

without going 90 college?
You are, anywhere. lazy enough;
but at home j can keep my eye on
you and give you "a punch now and
then
"But at college don't they keep their
eyes on TIE fellows, and keep kicking
them. too2'
"Yes. but the college is chiefly made
for men who can guide themselves,
and and use their spurs on their own
TANKS. Colleges were not made for
self-Indulgent. lazy chaps. If a self
induIgent chap goes TO college. as al
most too many of them do. they be-
come even more lazy and self-indul-
gent. BESIDES this. YOU would waste
your time and my money. Wasting
your time. YOU would waste yourself.
and you are not big enough TO waste
any part OF yourself. and j am not
ricb enough for you to waste any OF

as financial value. and no value Of
any sort should be squandered.'

That is a good deal. dad. 1 don't

Some Of them don't, Of curse. 1
know one man who spent only $500,
and a part of that he earns; but Mr..
Atwood told me that the allowance Of
his son Jim for the next yea is going
to increase TO $4,000. L can't afford
to give YOU $500. and Jim's father
can't afford it either"
Such was the essence Of a talk
which / heard the other night between
a father and son about the son going
to college. l sympathized with both
of them, and told them so. For the
father was right in declining TO send
his boy to college, and upon the
grounds which he stated. But the
father was not quite right in thinking
that the boy VAS always going TO be
lazy.
I ventured 10 intimate 70 him that
he take the boy into his wholesale
paper business for n year n try to
give i'm a training in energy and
prOmptness. If this discipline should
throw the lazy bone out of the boys
anatomy he could wisely and safely,
at the close of the L months. send
the boy to college. with a pretty good
degree of assurance hat n boy
would be a worker. If the year did
not develop energy. it would be proved
that the boy would have a small place
anywhere in the ~workaday world.

SALT FOR CONSTIPATION.

Salt is a simple but almost in fallible remedy for constipation, and for that reason has a real beauty mission to perform. It should be taken, a half teaspoonful in cup of boiling water, half an hour be- fore every meal. It's devotees assert that it will cure very quickly even the most confirmed sufferers.
 If you have the slightest trouble in this regard, it is simple remedy for a really grave disorder. Few women realize the danger to both their health and their beauty in constipation. Two weeks of the trouble even, will entirely spoil for the time being, at least, what may before have been an exceptionally beautiful complexion; the pores will refuse to do their work properly and will accordingly get clogged up with dirt; the skin will become oily and muddy-looking, and the eyes will lose their brightness and vivacity. It is condition you cannot afford to tolerate for even day.

1HIM BlES.

Thimbles. which are about 230 years old, are supposed to have come originally from Holland, where they were called finger hats, or finger hoods. In England the name was changed to thumb bell cause the thimble was worn on the thumb to protect it from the thrust of the needle. not to propel the latter through the cloth.
 The fashion of gold thimbles per sists even today, but in the beginning there was none of the commoner metals and it was not until several years later that the first lead thimble was made. Silver is still the ia vored metal, though many a skill full seamstress prefers penny alum mum thimble, as being lighter and leaving no mark upon the finger
 The costly thimble still holds it's own in China. where thimbles are often carved out of mother of pearl, with the tops made of a single jewel

THE BACKBONE.
. q q . q . . 2 .,. . q q . Q

Keep the backbone straight. (The posturing of the Hindus and their breathing exercises for development are all based upon straight back bone). This is essential to real health and real harmony of body. The normal assimilation of food, upon which true health depends. is aided by an erect carriage, which keeps the stomach and internal organs in correct position, free from undue pressure.
 Another thing, assimilation of food depends to a still greater extent upon a peaceful mind, free from worry and tension. The solar plexus, that great nerve center back of the stom- ach. is quickly affected by hurry, worry. anger or any violent or de- pressing emotional state. When the solar plexus contracts with worry or too great a mental effort which produces tension, the processes of food assimilation ceases or is re- tarded. The life of the human be- ing, like the life of a plant, springs up and thrives best under harmon ious conditions. The mind deter mines whether harmony or discord shall rule; whether the solar plexus shall send the vibration of life to the stomach or whether the vibra- tion of discord, fear, tension, shall go out to it.
 Most dyspeptics are ruled by fear, doubt, shrinking, worrying, fearing. negative condition of mind. This reacts. through the solar plexus. upon the stomach.
 The flame of life flickers and grows dim because 1t is shaken by these negative vibrations. Learn to let the flame of life spring up with in you. unchoked and unhindered by mental tension.

Company Manners in the Home

phrase company manners" rises up out of the language to excuse us.
 If we love our own flesh and blood better than outsiders, as pre- sumbably we do, we ought to be more careful in the home than any where to observe all those forms of politeness which have their founda- tion in true courtesy.
 And yet how seldom we do! No one with any breeding at all would ever think of entering friends room without knocking. but how rare are the families whose members extend the same courtesy to each other
 Almost every mother teaches her children that to interrupt while oth- CTS are speaking is one of the car dinal sins against good manners; and yet how often do you find a home dinner table at which the mem bers do not constantly interrupt each other.
 That one should not contradict Is another rule of good manners, which is no empty form. but rests on a firm basis of consideration and kind ness, but I have often heard the members of supposedly well-bred families contradict each other with absolute freedom and without any apparent sense of discourtesy.

A young woman who had promised to meet her mother and younger sister at ? o'clock one afternoon was 25 minutes late for the ap- pointment.
 And this was her excuse: 'Tm awful sorry, but just before I start ed from home Mrs. Rich called me up on the telephone. She kept talk ing and talking and l couldn't shut her off without being rude"
 She delivered this explanation with an a1r of having entirely justified herself. Apparently it never occur red to her that she had avoided lesser rudeness by committing greater. says a writer in the Boston Globe.
 Nay, more than that; to have told the friend that she had an appoint ment and would have to call her up another time would not have been a discourtesy at all, whereas to make two persons wait for 25 minutes for anything except absolute necessity was certainly discourteous conduct.
 Evidently, she was influenced by that tenet which so many of us hold that rudeness to ones own family is not rudeness.
 The completeness with which many people drop all pretense of good manners the moment they enter the bosom of their families would be amusing If 1t were not so bad. The

Do Your Children Have Proper Food

the children's diet advises letting them eat when they get home from school. Something like hot cocoa and bread or a glass of milk or a piece of good, sweet chocolate is sufficient. They must not be allow ed repeated doses; in other words, they must not be permitted to nibble all afternoon. There is nothing that means a quicker downfall By din- ner time the youngsters appetite for good, healthy food is gone, and they want stimulants and what IS worse. they often get them in the form of tea and coffee.
 The easy-going American mother is far too prone to let the children do too much what they want to do, and if the child won't eat his din- ner until he gets tea-the tea is his for the crying for it.
 Humoring of children to keep them quiet may be ascribed to lack of knowledge of what is good for the children.-Mothers, rouse yourselves, and see that your children get prop CT food-good soups and sandwiches for luncheon and proper combina- tions at other meals-EX

PUTTING YOURSELF TO SLEEP.

The method l myself adopt for self suggestion, says Prof. Marcus liar tog, is when comfortably settled in bed, to count each full breath, in spiration plus expiration, and after every five" or ten" to make the verbal suggestion-each word form ulated in thought, as if in silently repeating a lesson-that I wish to be plished. The formulation should be by rote without thought of the sense.
 Thus my first suggestion was that l should sleep by the completion of 150. l found that this worked very well, but that l was apt to wake up suddenly after a short time, too sleepy to suggest and too wakeful to sleep, The next thing was to put in at the tens" My sleep shall be continuous" alternating with the other suggestion at the odd Hives, :" and this succeeded. Another diffi- culty was that in counting l got into state in which again l could neith CT count nor rest. This difficulty was overcome by altering the tens" suggestion, My sleep shall be sud den and continuous. Manchester Guardian.

Are your children too little and energetic for their age, or are they too big and languid? The reason may all lie in the things you give them 10 eat. say the dietetic authorities, and they add that many mothers, even of the well-to-do-c classes, have little idea of the right proportion of various kinds of foods that a growing school child needs.
 If they get too much fatty and starchy food, as do many of the ltal- ian youngsters, who live on maca- roni and oils, they are likely to be too energetic and thin and under sized
 On the other hand parents, who are able to afford it, permit their children to eat too much meat which is distinctly a body building food, and don't balance the diet with enough starch, sugar and fat to give them the energy they need. The childs natural tendency is to eat more meat than his body really needs, and many parents allow his natural appetite to govern his diet,

The Kind of Figure You Should Have

Don't worry so much about the quantity of flesh you have, but give attention to your figure. Is it well proportioned? Is the flesh massed about hips and bust so that you look like meal bag tied in the middle or is there so little flesh that you look like a bag of bones?
 It is proportion that counts, but that is not all. Whether you weigh two hundred or one hundred you ought to have a food figure, and a good figure expresses poise, lissome- ness. freedom. You may not be able to change your weight from one hun dred to two hundred pounds, but you can have that one hundred or two hundred pounds of flesh so dis tributed that neither you nor your friends will give thought to your avoirdupois.
 Begin by standing properly, walk ing properly, and sitting properly. Then run, pose, poise, reach and writhe-it won't matter much what else you do; in a few months time you should have a graceful figure.
 The first three commands are in- exorable. If you slouch or hold your self like a rod you cant expect to be graceful, for grace is freedom di- rected Remember that undirected freedom is not grace.
 All the muscles must be free, but the mind must have absolute control over them. Find your own natural freedom. No one can determine il for you. Keep it in mind all the

Ostnches Found
 To be Profitable

Philadelphia Ledger; The first importation of ostriches into the United States was made in 1882 from South Africa into California Sev- eral other importations followed. and it was one of the later importa- tions that brought into this country the North African or Nubian bird captured in the province of Nubla, North Africa. The majority of birds in this country today are the result of these few importations of birds into California, and consist almost wholly of the South African breed.
 The ostriches are no longer con fined to one locality, but are rapidly spreading through the South, and are being successfully kept as far north as Pennsylvania. Ostrich farms are in California, Arizona, Tex. as, Arkansas, Florida and Pennsyl- vania. There are about ten farms that have more than 100 birds each. five farms that have more than 4OO birds each and one farm that has more than 2,OO0 birds, bring $350 each, and eggs for matching sell on the average of $10 apiece. Egg SleuS llllu d llllllltu IldI hct d6 CuI IOo at from 50 cents to $1 each.
 The most valuable feathers are the main wing feathers of the male bird. and if exceptionally fine and the market good these may bring as high as $500 to $500 a pound. The first plucking of feathers is taken when the chick is from six to eight months old. The first plucking is of little value, and only the main wing feathers are cut.
 Successive pluckings take place about every eight months after the first pluckings. the feathers being cut every six months and the Quills left on the bird two months longer at the end of which time they arc drawn. Generally the main wing feathers are cut, and the first and second row of king coverts, floss and tail feathers are plucked.

The thing one loves to do IS never tiresome, and if you can teach your self to enjoy the common routine, there will never be any depressing fatigue. Perhaps one can never grow to love the drudgery part of any work, but if the mind is kept above it by working toward more efficient way of performing the task. or if not that. train the mind to do the homely things with the thoughts on something else, you will obviate much of the usual weariness, es- pecially in the housework routine.
