BE ON TIM E.

Some people act as if they were al
ways just a few minutes behind time.
If they could catch up, their lives
would be serene. But they never do
catch up. Breathlessly they go
through the day as if in pursuit of a
phantom. Often they live under a
great nervous tension. At the end of
the day they are exhausted. One
hears them speak as if they were sub
jected to great trials, including over
work. But, as a matter of fact, the
trouble lies wholly within themselves.
If they would only calm down and do
so quietly and serenely what they
have to do life would take on a wholly
different aspect for them, becoming,
instead of a torment, source of peace
and happiness.
There are those who seem to be
afraid of being ahead of time. If
they make an appointment they can't
endure keeping it promptly. They
hate to be on hand a minute or two
in advance. That minute or two is
too precious. They must not be
wasteful. Besides, in the interval,
what would they do? The thought
of idly waiting is distressing. And
yet such people are nearly always
wasteful of time. They do a good
deal of idling. What is more serious,
by being late, they keep others wait
ing and encroach on time not their
own. Moreover, when they arrive
they are likely to be in state of
nervous excitement which is not at
all pleasant.
Be on time. Have system. Do your
work in an orderly manner. Let to-
day take care of today. Plan ahead.
Keep things in order. SO you will
have plenty of time to attend to every
duty. You will be neither rushed nor
too late.

able conditions and hygienie surround
ings, and dissoeiated from worry. is
one of the greatest blessings of the
race. We get on best, both physically
and mentally, yes, and morally and
spiritually, too, when our time Is fully
occupied with work or play.

. BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

If you have a gray-haired mother
In the old home far away,
Sit down and write the letter
You put off day by day.
Don't wait until her tired step
Reaches heavens pearly gate,
But show her that you think of her
Before it is too late.
If you have a tender message,
Or a loving word to say,
Don't wait until you forget it,
But whisper it to-day.
Who knows what bitter memories
May haunt you if you wait?
So make your loved one happy
Before it is too late.
We live but in the present,
The future is unknown;
Tomorrow is mystery,
To-day is all our own.
The chance that fortune leads to us
May vanish while you wait,
So spend your life's rich pleasures
Before it is too late.
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long-forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent-
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these some loved ones wait;
So show them that you care for them
Before it is too late.

A CHILDS SOUL.

One day priest in Paris sat in his
room composing q discourse, destined,
perhaps, to set the seal on his reputa-
ton as an orator. His attention was
concentrated OH his task.
At that moment, a little chimney
sweeper half singing, half shouting
his refrain, passed by. His services
were needed and he was called in.
He climbed up with professional alac-
rity, sang some couplets while work
ing and reappeared, sweating and
grimy, beside the writer's desk.
Mister, it's ten cents said he.
"Ten cents2 Well, here they are
answered the priest, taking coin
from his purse. Now we're even. =
The boy went away, and the priest
picked up his pen once more, but it
seemed as if an iron hand had gripped
his heart Pangs of remorse seized
him.
Even, | said we were even," he
murmured to himself. How could
that be? Was that child machine
Had he not an immortal soul, soul
for which Jesus shed His Blood?''
At this reproach, the priest bounded,
called after the boy, questioned him
about God, and his mother, catechism
and First Communion. But he knew
nothing of cateehism and First Com
munion.
Yet the two seemed to feel a mutu-
al attraction. The child fixed long
look of hopeful expectancy on the
priests face.
What was he going to do? What
was going to happen?
This is what Happened The little

GOOD MANNERS OF CHILDREN.

Good company manners depend
upon good home manners. As for
table manners, the active child who
from his earliest years has been &C
Customed to regular meals of simple
food with sufficient variety for his
health and pleasure will be hungry
enough at meal time to eat anything
that is put before him. Ii from the
beginning he has been encouraged by
example, then good table manners will
be as natural as breathing. They will
be a part of him and he will make
use of them wherever he is.
The place for parent to begin
with her own manners. Whenever a
mother complains to me of the bad
manners of her child she is uncon-
sciously lodging complaint against
herself as a mother. OF course, a
certain amount of boisterousness and
wilfulness is to be expected, and
hoped for, in the child; but bad man
ners spring almost invariably from
the carelessness, lack OF consideration,
artificial ideals, lack of time-many
busy mothers, it is true, cannot give
the time they wish to their children
of those who are responsible for the
child's training.
The old ideal of training in be-
havior was based largely upon the
principle of the child's consideration
for it's elders; the modern principle
demands also the elders considera-
ton for the child.

correspondent Of the Los Angeles

The only strange note visible in the

an inheritance from the old Incas, who

Of California, Oregon. Washington and
British Columbia, up to Juneau,

land for % to Is or 100 miles.
This truly wonderful phenomenon is
explained by the action Of the Hum
boldt current, a cold stream beginning
in the Antarctic ocean, and flowing
northward along the coast. The eff
feet produced is that the land is warm
er than the water, and therefore, rain
seldom falls on any part Of this region,
and in part it is said to be practically
unknown.
On the crest of the Andes, enough
rain and sno is p%recipitated to fur
nish well-watered valley-floors on the
western slope, which are generally fer
tile and well-tilled.
The eastern slope of the Andes, on
the contrary, receives abundant rain

These Andean canon-valleys in Peru
produce valuable crops Of sugar cane
and varied food products, but the
