us Just Like Home.

NOC DIT different from this kind
of club,'' Mrs. Winans good humor-
eddy contradieted "You didn It have
any rules in your home and I don It in
tend to have any in mine. Ny girls
want me to meet their guests and have
me approve of them just as the mother
of any good home would do. / want to
know where my girls are in the even
ing and [ want them to be well behaved
and discreet always and I expect they
will be.
81 like them to stop in my room,
here right by the entrance so it is easy
to reach as they come in, and tell me
their experiences and ask my advice
if they want it.
Eat With Forks.
80 OF course they need no rules as to
their table manners. They know what
to do at the table just as young people
in their own homes do. They would
not leave the table without being ex-
cused, they eat properly with their
forks, know about passing articles of
food, OF course would not forget sheir
manners to the extent Of saying disa-
greeable or irritable things at table,
are courteous to others and there it is
we really do not need rules. Rules are
for people who do not understand the
conventions of life and the courtesies.
OF course if one of the girls should so
far forget herself or her manners as to
do thoughtless or discourteous or in
discreet things, then [ would talk to
her just as mother in a home where
only one daughter lived would talk to
that daughter under the same circum-
stances. / would try to show her
where she had been unwise or thought
less and should insist that she must not
make the same mistakes next time, but
that is just the way I managed with
my own daughter when she was still at
home, but cannot remember that I
ever made any rules for her.

WHAT SHE is WORTH.

A Wisconsin professor Of home eco
Monies has made au exact estimate OF
what a wife is worth TO her husband in
dollars and cents. 1t is asserted that
she should be credited with earning the
difference between the cost OF the raw
and the finished product that she turus
out,
Just what this is he can learn by es-
timating food items; for example; by
noting the difference between the cost
of a barrel of flour and the cost of
bakers loaves made from the contents
of such barrel. A more direct meth
Cd however, is by hiring house
keeper to do the cooking and dress.
making and other labors performed
by the wife. Unfortunately this is
seldom done until the wife has gone to
heaven, so that she fails to benefit by
the husbands discovery.
There is reason TO believe, however,
that no wife who holds herself in due
respect will accept this so-called scien-
tihc estimate of her value to the fam
| lily. She knows very well that she Is
worth more in actual money than the
difference between raw materials and
the finished product and that if she
were paid what she really earns, her
compensation would include that OF

OF course, few husbands can afford &c

purely commercial basis and, fortunate

manding it. The most of them, there
is reason to believe, are entirely sat.

husbands, like him of whom Solomon

CALL HIM "FATHER !"

One OF our exchanges gives boys the
following good advice:
"Boys, when you speak of your
father don't call him "the old man.
OF course you are older than when you
were taught to call him father. You
are much smarter than you were thep
you are much more manly looking,
your clothes fit you better; your hat
has modern shape and your hair is
combed differently. In short, flyer
than you were then. Your father has
a last years coat, two-year-old hat
and vest of still older pattern. He
can't write such an elegant note as
you can and all that, but don't call
him the old man Call him father.
For years he has been rustling around
to get things together. He has been
held to the thorny path of uphill in
duStry and the brightest half OF life
has gone from him forever. But he
loves you, though he goes along with
out saying much about it, therefore be
not so ungrateful."

We have often wondered why moth.
er's memory and hands must serve for
a dozen persons. Would it not be bet
ter for all concerned If sthers kind
ness contained more Of self.assertion
aad less of self,sacridce? Would not,
at times, papa feel less disturbed, nay,
wrathfully, if he were careful TO keep
his own papers in order, and perform
the twenty other trivial things he
has time to do in leisure moments but
expects Of some one elseP Would it
not be better for sister to teach baby
who is old enough--to button his
own shoes, than to do it for him each
morning as duty.

A word of encouragement at the
right time is of more real worth than
an ounce Of gold. 1t is more nourish-
ing to the soul than meat and drink
to the hungry. 1t is better stimulant
than the richest wne and the strong
est lever to lift from the rutS of des-
pondency, Many a poor oyerworked
wife is pining for word of sympathy
from her husband. Just one word,
one look, to show that the toll Of
weary hours are appreciated, and the
light reflected would more than re.
compense the giver.

Easements duties were many and complex and
he performed them with all the zeal which char
acterized his later efforts against his govern

II has been said in explanation OF his conduct
that his sympathetic and generous nature was
intensely stirred by the cruelties inflicted upon
the natives OF the Congo country exploited by
alien promoters. This is borne out by the Off
ciai record. His revelations OF the inhumanities
OF the rubber region startled the world at the
time and forced radical betterment In the govern
