So only does the liquor claim the credit for

FOOLISH WHEN NOT WORSE

Jealousy knocks out the working
gears as emery cuts the works out of
a delicate machine.
Jealousy stops the wheels; it is the
cause of factory, church and lodge.
If the other man is outstrippng you
and You are sore about it, the soreness
is beating you. Jealousy is a form of
rheumatism that puts you out of the
running.
Abraham Lincoln had two political
rivals who were jealous of him. They
were Seward and Stanton, both able
men.
But Lincoln was not jealous of
them. He appointed Seward Secretary
of State, and Stanton Secretary of
War.
lie then told them to forget their
Jealousy and get down to work They
did so, and now they are big men in
history, Had they not mastered their
Jealousy, they would be unknown to-
day.
If you are jealous of the man higher
up, that soreness will keep you from
ever getting up. It's the worst enemy
you've got. So get sore at your sore
ness and kick it out of your body so
that you will have a chance to thrive,
Jealousy whips you by taking out of
you the inspiration which is so neces-
sary for good work. The very fact
that it is hard to locate jealousy makes
it all the more dangerous. Statistics
would probably show that a majority
of the failures of organizations can be
directly traced to jealousy within the
organizations (Roger W. Babson.)

HOME CIRCLE 0LUMN.

We're as rich as Croesus, my girls
should have something to do regularly
just as soon as they should become old
enough to do anything They should
in the first place, make their own bed
and take care of their own room. They
should dress each other. They should
sweep portion of the house. They
should learn, above all things, to help
themselves, and thus to be independent
in all circumstances.
A woman, helpless from any other
cause than sickness, is essentially a
nuisance, There is nothing womanly
any ladylike in helplessness. My policy
would be, as girls grow up, to assign
to them special duties, first in one part
of the house, then in another, until
they should become acquainted with
all housewifery Offices; and | should
have an object in this beyond the sim
pie acquisition of a knowledge of
housewfery. 1t should be for the ac-
QUESTION of habits of physical industry
of habits that conduce to the health
of body and mind-of habits that give
them an insight into the nature of la
Dor, and inspire within them a genuine
sympathy with those whose lot it is to
labor.
All young mind is uneasy if it be
good for anything. There is not the
genuine human stuff in girl who is
habitually and by nature passive, pla-
cid, and inactive. The body and the
mind must both be in motion. If this
tendency to activity be left to run
loose undirected into channels Of use
fulness-a spoiled child is the result a
girl growing up to womanhood, is,
when unemployed, habitually uneasy.
The mind aches and chafes because it
wants action, for n motive.
Now a mind in this condition is not
benefited by the command to stay at
home, or the Withdrawal from com
panions. 1t must be set to work.
This vital energy that is struggling to
find relief in demonstration should be
so directed that habits may be formed,
habits of industry that ohyiate the
wish for change and unnecessary play
and form regular drain upon it,
Otherwise, the mind becomes dissipat-
ed, the will irresolute, and confinement
irksome. Girls will never he happy,
except in She company of their play
mates, unless home becomes to them Il
scene of regular duty and personal
usefulness,

MOTOR BOAT REAL CHURCH
Gospel Ship on Puget Sound Of Great
Comfort to People In Re-
mote Regions.

OF the 10 counties of western Wash
lngton Is are accessible to seagong
vessels, according to Agnes Lockhart
Hughes, in Everybody's. Hence the
Robert G. Seymour, floating church,
operated on Puget sound by Rev. Will
bert r. Howell and his wife.
During the four years that the Rob
ert G. Seymour has been In operation
1t has travelled on an average of 5000
miles a year, carrying religion to Is
land county and up Hood canal. 1t
regularly visits II ports and as many
logging comps, bringing religion to
those who cannot seek 1t. The boat
is gone often for a month at q time,
and often has weathered some of the
toughest gales ever experienced on
the sound. Not infrequently, after a
sermon delivered aboard the gospel
ship, or on shore, some woman will
come forward with question on her
lips regarding what lies near her
heart relative to the latest style In
dresses or hats, and always an an
swer Is forthcoming-fo the good pilot
never omlts to include fashion books
among his hymnals,
One woman acknowledged that a SER
mon preached recently by the captain
of the Gospel boat was the first she
had heard in dozen years. She was
the mother of nine children and had
had no opportunity previously of hear
ing q church service.
