the compiler of "Words, Facts and
Phrases" the use of these letters to

ed with old John Jacob Astor the
millionaire Of New York. He was

man of great information and sound
Judgment, and was a sort of general
referee as to the solvency or standing
of other traders. If note of inquiry

to be satisfactory, he was accustomed
to write across the note the letters

Others may love as fondly, but new
er again while time is ours, shall any
ones love be to us as fond, as tender,
as devoted, as was that of our dear old
trembling mother. Through helpless
infancy her throbbing heart was our
safe protection and support, and
through the ills and maladies Of child
hood, her gentle hand ministered and
soothed as none other could. We feel
animated to struggle more manfully
in the great battle Of life, when we
remember our mothers holy counsel
to us in childhood's early dawn and in
the slippery paths OF youth.

There is an old proverb 'Home is
home, be it ever SO homely," but home
should not be made any more homely
than necessity requires, The family
iireside should be associated, in the
minds of the young people, not only
with stern requirements Of duty, but
with a sense of pleasure. 1t is not
enough TO drill our sons with the Sc
we're discipline in all the formalities
of rigid virtue. They should be taught
not only how to keep straight, but
how to bend, since it is not in the
power of nature TO undergo "a perpetu-
al tension. Provision must be made
at home for relaxation as well as
work; for pleasure as well as duty.
If such provision is not made there, it
will be as it is too often, sought else
where.

A stranger entering household
knows whether the key note there is
high or low. There are houses with
a'lluent wealth and culture, where the
discords are incessant, and the meaning
of life no higher than that of brutes.
But no symphony can compare with
the significance of daily life, in fam
ily of gentle words and noble conduct.

While it is comparatively easy to
be polite toward strangers, or toward
people of distinction, whom we meet
in society or on public occasions, still
it should be remembered that it is at
home in the family that an everyday
polteness is really most priced, com
ing as it should from the kindly feel
ing of the heart.

Cats Blue Eyes Shine Red in Dark.

AS showing how widely the perma
nentiy blue eyes of cats differ from
other eyes, 1t is noted that imme-
diately the eyes of white cats that are
to have permanently blue eyes open
they shine bright red in the dark, and
neither the ephemeral kitten blue nor
any other colored eyes do this.

A child should be made to feel that
his home is indeed a home, the hap
piest place in the world, not merely
an outward shelter and resting place,
but a center of enjoyment, sanctified
and purified by love, the thought and
remembrance of which should be the
safeguard of his life as he goes forth
to the world, giving strength and
proportion to his character.

cts only mother; anything will do
for HERO If the words are not often
actually expressed, the thought is too
often acted upon. Aud yet II we stop
to think, common decency tells us
that only the best is good enough for
mother-.that her devotion which sur
passes all other love, is deserving Of
the deepest respect and affection, and
that to forget her is the blacklist and
basest crime that man can commit.

Brother, when you come in from
work in the evening, we all know you
are tired, but put on your best look
and assume happy mood; do not
frown if the floor is not swept, nor
supper ready. Engage the little folks
just little while and get them to
looking forward to your coming with
pleasure. 1t will help to happily
home wonderfully.

what the world says Of him-whether
it crown him with jewles or pelt him
with bad eggs, we care never copper
