Hint to Mothers.

Let Us never be like the mother who
said her boy was not interested in any
thing. For the boys teacher when
she called noticed that he had q box
which he seemed to take care Of. and
It was not long before she learned
that 1t was a collection Of caterpillars.
Yet the mother said that her boy was
interested in nothing. The teacher at
once showed her pupil that she. too,
was interested in his collection. She
learned from the boy q great many
things about caterpillars that she did
not know. and in turn taught him
things he did not know. Teacher and
boy became great friends; through
this common interest others sprang up
and the boy changed from 4 sullen
inattentive boy to a broad-minded.
wide-awake man. II the mother could
only have shared her boys interest,
how much more helpful they would
have been to each other.-Pittsburgh

Practice Handwriting.

For years business people have de-
pended on the typewriting machine
for their letters, and have neglected
their handwriting. The dearth Of ma
chimes is now being generally felt, es-
pecially in commercial houses, and
once more 1t has become necessary to
be able to write clearly and legibly.
For the first time the other day the
head Of big business firm took the
trouble to get specimens Of the hand
writing Of his staff of female clerks.
There were scarcely six who could
write really good hand. "People
won't take the time to read busi-
ness letter unless It u lesibly written"
was his Querulous comment

Love Letters In Hymn Book.

A pair Of lovers who had been for
bidden to speak or write, attended the
same church, and their plan was the
exchange Of hymn books. As the
young man was an officer Of the
church he did this little job before
service. Most delightful and satisfac-
tory love letters could be pieced to-
gether by following certain lead-pencil
marks. and In order to elude even a
Sherlock Holmes Of the household, the
letters were made to read from the
end to the beginning Of the book.

Keep Curb on Speech.

Most Of US say great deal more
than we mean. We have way Of ex-
aggerating things just for the sake of
the picturesque. There is no reason
why we should talk about our own af-
fairs and less reason for talking about
our neighbors. 1t Is mighty safe rule
in business, as in life itself. to say
only the pleasant things and keep the
unpleasant things in the background
or better still, not to recognize them
at all.
